Five Teachers Who Came Home
Going back to your hometown (maybe even your old school) to teach: The call can feel urgent for those who join the corps, believing that their own life stories can be motivation for the students who are coming up behind them. The call can also be strong for alumni who want to live near family and make an impact in the communities they know and love best. As Teach For America has expanded over 25 years to 52 regions, its alumni network has also grown beyond those regions. It's become easier for corps members and alumni like the five featured here to join others who work among the students and families whose backgrounds they share and whose needs and strengths they understand. These corps members and alumni went home. Now, they tell us why.
1. Milani Lawrence, The Bronx
Milani (N.Y. '15) teaches eighth grade math at her old high school, The Urban Assembly School for Applied Math and Science.
As a math major and African studies minor at Mount Holyoke College, Milani Lawrence noticed that in each successive year, the number of black women she saw in her math and science classes dwindled. She's now back in the Bronx at her old school, The Urban Assembly School for Applied Math and Science, trying to reverse that trend. "My love for math was ignited at my school," she says, "and I thought if I could get to young girls like me, earlier, I could prepare them" to be math or science majors. Now she's teaching eighth grade math at the combined middle and high school.
When Milani was a student, her sixth grade advisory teacher continued to mentor the same group of students every year through their high school graduation six years later. Milani is now a sixth grade advisor whose goal is to stick with her own sixth graders until they graduate.
The best thing that happened on her first day of teaching was when her students discovered a picture of Milani as a student hanging in a hallway.
2. Renee O'Connor, Miami–Dade
Renee (Miami–Dade '11) teaches at Miami Norland Senior High School, which she attended.
Renee O'Connor worked in hotel management and ran a successful business teaching dance to adults before she joined the corps at age 37. She was placed at Miami Norland Senior High School, the school she'd attended as a student, where two-thirds of students are from families affected by poverty. "I fell in love with Miami Norland again," she says. "I tell students all the time," Miami Norland is the place that "made me so successful in life."
A native of Jamaica, she leads the school's Jamaican Club and teaches African studies, mostly to 10th graders. She also tutors students a few evenings a week. It's almost uncanny how her high school looks exactly as it did when she attended.
Renee created a motivation corner in her classroom, a little shrine that shows her proudest high school achievements: her cheerleading photos, her "Freshman of the Year" trophy, her yearbook, and all her college admissions letters.
What's awesome about teaching at her old school is being an unofficial ambassador, often called upon by her principal to be the welcoming, hometown "face of the school" at family nights and open houses. She also enjoys, while with students on field trips, getting the bus driver to drive them past her old house.
3. Ramiro Flores, Rio Grande Valley
Ramiro (R.G.V. '15) teaches at IDEA College Prep Donna, where he was a student.
Ramiro was born in Reynosa, Mexico, and was attending a border-town school in Texas when his pediatrician handed his family a pamphlet advertising the college prep curriculum at IDEA Public Schools in nearby Donna. He attended IDEA from eighth grade until his graduation as a senior.
Now he is back at IDEA College Prep Donna, a DACAmented corps member who teaches eighth grade history and coaches the school's debate team. "I am honestly sometimes frustrated and infuriated by U.S. history and the way it's represented in textbooks, like the terms used for slavery as well as words like 'illegal aliens,'" he says. "We talk about current events. Why is there colorism in a lot of Hispanic communities? All of that is what I make sure I bring to my classroom, and it's important for my students to have that perspective."
He was two weeks away from enrolling in college when his admission was withdrawn due to complications with his immigration status. A year later, he enrolled at The University of Texas-Pan American, determined to teach. He credits alumni teachers Crischelle Navalta (R.G.V. '05), Jennifer Corroy (R.G.V. '04), and others for staying in touch and coaching him through. While in college, he counseled undocumented high school students on their college applications.
The best part of teaching at his old school is relating to his students. "I don't see my immigration status as something that hinders me," he says. "I use it as motivation." He says his story shows his students they can overcome, too. "Struggling with English, being undocumented, being poor, traveling to get to school—we come from the same place, and I feel privileged to be that example that could be motivation for them."
4. John Tran, Sacramento
John Tran (California Capital Valley '13) teaches at his alma mater, Sacramento Charter High School.
In 2013, after graduating from Duke University, John Tran was initially placed as a corps member in Oklahoma. But if his goal was to teach students in a community of great need, he thought, then why not his own? "I told my story to the Sacramento regional director, and he was able to help me transfer over," says John, who was placed at his alma mater, Sacramento Charter High School.
John felt he could stay in the classroom longer and establish himself as a stable presence for his students by rooting himself in his hometown and his old school. "I had good teachers every year" as a student attending the school, he says. But few were still there by the time he finished college and returned.
His school was one of the first in Sacramento to form a Key Club, the service organization in which John was active as a student. Now he leads Key Club students in service projects at the Sacramento Zoo, food banks, and a local park.
Like Renee, John's got a throwback-photo inspiration corner in his classroom with his high school pictures from prom and the volleyball and soccer teams.
5. Sarah Robbins, Philadelphia
Sarah Robins (Greater Philadelphia '07) came back to improve opportunities, especially in the arts, for students in her hometown.
Sarah Robbins grew up in South Philadelphia, where she now lives with her daughter, Shaharazad, four blocks from her parents' house. She was a K–12 Philadelphia Public Schools student, along with her three siblings. The inequalities among schools and neighborhoods became apparent at a young age. She realized, particularly when she began attending special admittance schools, that there were stark differences in the culture of schools and quality of education.
While studying at New York University, she interned at The Brooklyn International High School and decided she wanted to be a teacher who would incorporate arts and storytelling into her classroom. "I wanted to teach in Philly because I know this city, its wounds and its strengths," she says. "I wanted to work for change at home before anywhere else."
She taught for six years before going to work for District 1199c, the health care and hospital workers' union, which has an education arm that supports union and community members. There, she coordinated a program to help young people who had not finished high school earn their GEDs and succeed in college. Now, she's project lead for the new STE(A)M Scholars Diversity in Healthcare Pipeline, a collaboration between universities, nonprofits, and a local high school that involves students in projects in the arts, sciences, research, and innovation.
Her support for local arts and sciences goes beyond her job. Shaharazad attends a weekly science workshop at the school where Sarah previously taught, and Sarah continues to support and engage local arts organizations.

Lightly Used Luxury
Premium Brands Push Sales Of 'Pre-Owned' Vehicles
Auto makers have invested big money to attract consumers to "certified pre-owned" cars as a way to resell more than three million moderately used vehicles returning from leases each year. But now, industry executives are predicting a sharp drop in the numbers of vehicles coming off leases this year.
So is the era of buying champagne rides on a micro-brew beer budget about to end? Not if the big luxury brands have their way....

Christopher Newfield, "Nano-Punk for Tomorrow's People"
Christopher Newfield reports his thoughts on the Tomorrow's People Conference at Oxford in March 2006, focusing on "enhancement of the human" through future technological advances, particularly in the field of nanotechnology. Newfield notes that while many scholars presented well-developed scientific narratives of transhumanism, they largely failed to provide sufficiently robust social narratives to complement them. Other presenters and audience members spoke of the socio-political side of transhumanism but focused primarily on dystopian narratives. Newfield suggests that the conference revealed a "vivid typography of dueling models" that need to find common ground. He suggests that academics could learn from certain science fiction writers, who manage to synthesize both (the "Lexus and the olive tree") into a cohesive narrative of transhumanism. Rather than viewing culture and politics as an expression of humanity's stupidity, to be overcome by technology, or viewing technology as an inherently threatening force, he suggests that we adopt the view that they inform each other in positive ways, and can thus transform each other similarly. Newfield elaborates this vision and calls it "Nano-Punk."

text: Red House occupies a singular place in British architectural history: it was the first and only house that was built for designer William Morris, and it was the first independent architectural commission for his friend, Philip Webb. The challenge of furnishing the house inspired Morris and his Pre-Raphaelite friends to found the design firm of Morris & Co., which was the flagship for what was to become the Arts & Crafts movement. Red House captured Morris' heart. He was only 25 when, in 1858, he married Jane Burden, whose beauty was the inspiration for much of Pre-Raphaelite art. With his young wife, he planned to produce a vision of "earthly paradise" at Red House; however, the idyll was found to be impractical, and Morris left after five years. Because of its illustrious first owner, Red House was never forgotten, and a succession of tenants kept Morris' spirit alive in the house; in 2003, Red House was acquired for the National Trust. This handsome volume provides both the story of Red House and a "virtual tour" that enables the reader to see how this splendid house looked and functioned when it was inhabited by the celebrated designer.

It has been ten years almost to the date when I departured on the longest trip of my life - the adulthood trip. I turned 18 and with a bit of the help of a tricky cupid I packed my things and left my old life behind.
Not that it was a bad life, one could say. I was in a good school, I had friends around me. At that time of my life I was lost and needed somebody to fall back on. Beware what you are asking for because you might get it. I was asking for setting me free. I felt empty and unhappy, and prayed every day to be in a different place. Be careful what you are pryaing for as your prayers might be listened.
It happened unexpectedly - just like true love should happen, or at least that's what we tend to believe in. Unexpected and true love, an arrow of a cupid speared my heart and suddenly everything was clear, the world simple and I knew that this one will be forever. At 18 I didn't know that forever is a long time and that forever doesn't necessarily has to happen. But this I was to learn much later.
It was late February when I packed up and left. I didn't even say goodbye to my school friends. I left. It wasn't a pleasant journey. The road was terrible, I remember. We got stucked somehere for hours as if something was trying to stop me but didn't manage. It was decided. I was gone. I was gone, I finally had my life, had my love, had everything I needed.
Few months later I was sitting on the curb in Grodzisk Mazowiecki thinking what should I do with my life. Everything was gone: my dreams, my love, my dignity, my trust and belief that it all was worth something. I was 18 and already divorced. Not really but the process of breaking up with R. wasn't pleasant at all: packing things from the place that was supposed to be my home... Lots of tears, words that should never been said, things that should never been done, things that I regret and I am ashamed of. Things that under normal circumstances I would never do, or at least that's what I'd like to think.
I was afraid. I was terrified. I couldn't understand what had gone wrong and how all these things had happened. I couldn't go back home, I couldn't return to my school. I had to start everything from the beginning and I didn't know how. I felt guilty, I felt ashamed and afraid that I won't survive.
Somehow, I have survived. And this is something I'd like to congratulate myself for today. I have survived the biggest storm in my life so far. What is more, today I'm in the place that I've chosen myself. Cambodia gives me an opportunity to distance myself from the past and look into the future. Today I'd like to say goodbye to all these traumatic memories. This chapter is finished, closed. It should have been closed many years ago. It's done and I feel it so well today. Goodbye bad memories.Welcome to new quality!
Happy Anniversary Ania!
I love you.

SkyStudioProSkyStudioPro is a freeware time-lapse and motion detection application for the Windows® platform. You can use it to capture time-lapse movies using almost any capture device or web cam. It also features motion detection, you can set it to record movie clips when motion is detected.
Time-lapseTime-lapse photography is a technique of taking a picture every x seconds, and rendering the captured frames in a movie. When the movie is played back, you will see time move much faster than normal. "Fast motion" is just as interesting as "slow motion" - imagine clouds moving like a boiling mass, or snow covering the ground at a rate of centimeters per second. You could even see a plant grow in a couple of minutes!
Stop-motionYou can also use SkyStudioPro to make stop-motion movies, by taking manual snapshots of a scene. Use the brand new SkyStudioPro VideoCompiler to make a compressed movie from your saved images.
Motion detectionYou can use SkyStudioPro to monitor you camera for motion, and trigger a recording with audio and video when motion is detected. A unique feature is the option to "slow down time-lapse on motion" - this means that when motion is detected, the frame rate of your time-lapse movie is temporarily increased to real-time. When you play back the movie, you will see the time-lapse suddenly "slowing down" to show the moving object.
FreewareSkyStudioPro is freeware - you can download and use it free of charge.
There are no limitations to the free version, because there is no commercial version.
Of course, if you want to support the development, you could consider making a donation.
Key features:- New: Video Compiler (beta) included
a tool to make movies from bitmap sequences
- support for two video devices
- use any capture device or web cam
- capture video at any size and frame rate
- enhanced night vision by using lower frame rate
- create time-lapse movies using the codec of your choice
- detect and capture motion
- online version check and updates

When the New York Jets drafted wide receiver Devin Smith out of the Ohio State University, they added the best deep threat in the college game -- a nice weapon for Geno Smith to have. The Jets knew he was a big-play receiver that can break one for a touchdown on any given play.
What they didn't know was that he could do this:
Sure, we've seen that catch before. And a guy that plays in the same stadium for the "other" team has made some great catches in his young career (I'm talking about you, Odell Beckham Jr.), but it's still insanely impressive. Not to mention, Smith made a "Beckham catch" while at OSU, one which he calls better than Beckham's.
More from FoxSports
See for yourself and you be the judge.
That's the guy Smith will be throwing deep balls to all season. Not bad, huh.

Artist Statement: "The graphite painting 'The Head Exchange: Eve' is the first of a series of buried heads I am creating with the Head Exchange series. Like "The Watchtower", this piece came about from my desire to create a work of art that documents a relationship. This piece also talks about the joy and fear that comes with discovering something buried."
For COMPANY, 'The Head Exchange: Eve,' is a haunting reminder of the fragility and circumscribed nature of life. The fossil like head is reminiscent of a memory frozen in time, literally.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
If you need a refresher course on project management or just some help to keep you at the top of your game, here are some tips that should add an edge to your expertise. To compile the list and flesh it out with in-the-field wisdom, I spoke with Mike Taylor, president, Innovative-e, a SharePoint consulting and technology services company, and Jason Westland, CEO of Method123, a New Zealand-based company that specializes in project management and has staff in 10 countries, including the US.
In a nutshell, here's what Taylor and Westland had to say:
Too often, project managers are handed a project and directed to make it happen -- on time, on scope, and on budget. Just as often, the busy PM rolls up her/his sleeves and gets to work without making sure the project definition is well understood.
"I find it useful to pause long enough to dig deep to get the answer to: 'Why is this being done and what value is being sought from the initiative?'" said Taylor. "You need to make sure the project definition is correct. Keep the answer handy; it will help during project execution."
Taylor recommends you begin by reviewing the project estimates and the estimating techniques used by project team members. "Make folks commit and re-commit to their estimates," he advises. "Challenge assumptions to make sure estimates aren't overly optimistic or padded."
Once the plan is on paper, Taylor recommends doing a formal review of it, walking through the task definitions, dependencies and so on with other team members.
Westland believes that quality begins at the beginning of each project, with a PM setting quality targets and communicating them to the team. "Use quality assurance reviews to measure the quality of your deliverables, to ensure your targets are met," said Westland. "Also use quality control techniques to manage day-to-day quality on the project."
Usually the scope of a project is determined when the project's business case is defined. Sometimes, however, PMs fail to do comprehensive planning.
"Make sure your scope definition/requirements are detailed enough to remove as much ambiguity as possible," cautions Taylor, who recommends that requirements should be spelled out on functional levels. "If you only have high-level verbiage vaguely describing what is 'desired' your scope isn't fully baked."
Another tip, he said, is to make sure that everything not specifically defined as in-scope is documented as out-of-scope and the document is signed by relevant stakeholders.
Every project has a level of risk and uncertainty. This is normal because between the start and end of each project, new issues crop-up that can affect the project. "You need to record these risks formally in a risk register," said Westland. "Review each risk, identify its likelihood of occurrence, and assess its potential impact on the project. Then take action to mitigate each risk quickly and efficiently."
Keep everyone in your project well informed by giving them the right information at the right time, advises Westland, who recommends doing a weekly status report and sending it to project stakeholders. "It's important to meet with your team weekly, talk through the progress over the prior week and the goals set for the week ahead," he said. "Record minutes and send them out after the meeting. Also, make everyone accountable for the targets set."
Westland believes you a PM never start new documents from scratch but should use a template for each. "Document every step in the Project Life Cycle using project management templates to save you time and effort," he said.
Sometimes the reason for doing the project gets lost in all the work to get it done; and problems raise their not-so-pretty heads. "Triage issues as soon as possible," counsels Taylor. "This means having timely, honest assessments with stakeholders about the impact of each issue on the project."
To stay on track, PMs need to measure progress weekly, advises Westland. "Measure progress against schedule and determine if you're under or over target," he said. "Also, measure current expenses against budget. Only through accurate measurement can you truly know if you're on track."

Vos will be accompanied by his regular National championship co-driver Rob Howie, who is also general manager of Toyota Motorsport.De Villierswill be competing in his 10th Dakar.Toyota Motorsport team principal Glyn Hall said: "The Morocco Rally was the first real test of our proudly South African Hilux and we're delighted with its success in an event very similar to, but shorter than, the Dakar. "Since competing in the recent Human Auto 400 National championship off road race in Bloemfontein, we've been hard at it preparing them for the sand test. Giniel will go ahead to establish a suitable test route and we'll get straight into the testing on November 3. We expect to be there for four days," said Hall.DESERT TESTING"The test will not only prepare us for the sand and the high temperatures we expect in Argentina, Chile and Peru, but also provide invaluable training and hands-on experience for Duncan and Rob. Dirk will join the team for the first time and work closely with Rob to share his wealth of knowledge to prepare him for his first Dakar," he added."Our test schedule will include both performance and endurance testing and we'll be checking 95% of the actual parts we will be using on the Dakar. We'll also be doing heat testing, engine mapping in the dunes, suspension testing and evaluating our satellite communications and equipment that we will be using to keep the media back in South Africa informed of our progress throughout the 14 days of the race."The Dakar Rally will start in the Argentine seaside resort of Mar del Plata and will finish almost 9000km later in the Peruvian capital, Lima, on January 15. There will be five racing special stages in Argentina, a crossing of the Andes Mountains, five stages in Chile including a crossing of the Atacama Desert before a rest day on January 8 in the Chilean town of Copiapo. For the first time in the Dakar's history the riders will compete in four stages and a ceremonial finish in Peru.

Whoo! Down 80 lbs! It definetly has not been easy.... Not doing a very good job of taking my vitamins and not drinkin protein shakes. I have been doing pretty good not eating carbs, at least until the holdidays got here. Sigh.
So happy the holidays are almost over. I find the whole thing contrived and depressing.
For some reason typing takes away any creative thought I had and writing anything I was thinking about earlier is now just a boring sentance. Fuck it.

Over the past week, we've hit our visa situation hard. If you've never moved abroad and dealt with immigration, then let me tell you it is no fun. No fun at all. It stretches you in every way possible, and it's much of the cause of all my gray hair. So long story short, we've decided to get our house up for sale now, get ready for Mark to start job searching, and prepare to move. The ironic thing is that we need the house to sell to free up our finances to help pay for our move, and we need Mark to find a job before I can get a visa. So basically, we're moving in faith as we don't have the funding or the visa, but we're in faith that we will. And I can't even go into all the logistics of everything. But it's necessary for us to be in the UK so that we can file the paperwork to get the rest of our team visas. So there is lots to be done in a very short time. And I'm just going to list all of our prayer needs with hope that you, as the reader, really will join with us in believing for God's hand, His favor, His direction, and His provision. He's on our side; He's guiding us. So we're walking forward as He leads and trusting that He will make the way straight for us.
Prayer items:
That we get this house ready (quickly) to sell and that it sells quickly for the RIGHT price.
That Mark finds a great job with great pay and hours in Edinburgh that will wait for us to arrive.
That we find living arrangements in Edinburgh; plus living arrangements for our team as we all prefer to live near one another.
That our children and dog will transition smoothly.
That our funding would come in.
That we would get so much favor from the British government as we submit a few rounds of applications.
That none of us would let all the logistics and all the obstacles overwhelm us.
That we would keep our eyes on Jesus and that we would keep the vision that He has given to us for Edinburgh ever before us.
That God would plant us in the right neighborhood, the right community, the right churches, and just exactly where He wants us in this new city. That we would make friends quickly!!
That we would be faithful to follow His leading and to trust Him with our whole hearts.
That He would comfort and encourage our family members that will be left behind as this is feeling very real for them now too.
Thank you and much love and appreciation to all who might read this.

Martin Mosko is the founder and principal of the award-winning Marpa Design Studio of Boulder, abbot of Hakubai Temple, and the co-author of Landscape as Spirit: Creating a Contemplative Garden. He will present an integrated theory of contemplative gardening, and illustrate how this framework for design applies in every situation, whether commercial or residential. Martin will demonstrate how a contemplative garden is not limited by style or budget; it is a product of the meditative mind, and can be built in any space. He will discuss the elements available to us as designers, the idea of balance in composition, and the metaphors used to help judge when that balance has been achieved.

Great dress for a new even better price!!
Good item
Good enough, exactly what i expected.
Awesome Dress for Curves
I enjoy my 5 Mido dresses that I have purchased from crazy girls. I am 5'5 210 and very curvy. I ordered L/XL and they fit perfectly. I wear body shapers to smooth out my profile.Even though these are plain dresses, they are wonderful pieces to keep on your wardrobe because they are versatile. I can wear a blazer, duster, cardigan, or not. Chunky statement jewelry or simple jewelry, colorful jewelry, or gold or silver. The wardrobe combos are endless!they are sexy and modesty additions,to your closetThe only con is, these dresses are very thin. That is the ONLY CON!

The 28th October 2016 will be the last school day for most of the students in Kenya. Those left in schools will be the candidates taking the national exams either at the primary school level or end of high school national exams. These candidates will be seat for their exams in November.
Thus it is time to reflect on what has happened in this school year.
First, we have managed to build three new schools; one primary school and two high schools. The two high schools admitted their first class in February this year and now have a collective 120 students learning in first and second years of high school.
In Lemolo, where Bright Hope High school started this year there has been a tremendous transformation with the community seeing a path for their kids to attend school beyond the basic education in the existing WTA built school. Students also do not have to attend far away schools in the next community over which just happens to be in the neighboring county, this has motivated those about to move from primary school to high school to study and qualify for the local school. Where it is nearer and manageable for their parents to cater for their fees.
In Haji farms, the high school is just beginning to take hold after few incidents earlier in the year that almost derailed our plans. Right now the school has over 50 students learning in the school. They are five community teachers working in the school teaching the 10 subjects commonly taken in high school level. The school is also in the process of registration with education authorities and soon there will be government teacher running the school and teaching here, hopefully more subjects will be covered to better prepare students for later life.
The last school built this year was Baraka Shalom school which we had the opportunity to launch during the last donor trip. This school has seen more students come in and they are anticipating a lot more students joining the school when 2017 school year starts.
Lastly, across all our schools we have began focusing more on improving the performance. We have plans to do better than this year come 2017 school year.

- International Experience of Labour Management Partnership
"Offering a critical assessment of the main conceptual debates concerning labour management partnership and cooperation at the workplace, this book evaluates the search for positive employment relations in five countries. The provision of collective employee representation, normally through trade unions, is central to most definitions of labour management partnership, and the aim is to develop collaborative relationships between unions, employers and employee representatives for the benefit all parties. While traditionally associated with employment relations in the coordinated market economies of the continental European nations, partnership approaches have attracted increasing attention in recent decades in the liberal market economies of the UK, Ireland, USA, Australia and New Zealand.
Developing Positive Employment Relations assesses the conceptual debates, reviews the employment relations context in each of these countries, and provides workplace case studies of the dynamics of partnership at the enterprise level."
The Employment Relations Centre has been supporting Air NZ's High Performance Engagement initiative, arguably one of New Zealand's largest and most successful Labour Management Partnerships, since 2015.

PGA Masters Final Live Stream: Watch The Epic Finish Of The Tournament
After three days of play on one of golf's most challenging courses, the PGA Masters rolls into its final day Apr. 9. We've got your way to watch all of the action via live stream as the last round goes down starting at 2pm EST.
It's been quite a battle to get down the final round of play in the 81st Masters, and now the big day is finally here. The leader board has seen plenty of changes over he last three days, and it always comes down to the final 18 holes of the tournament to determine who gets to don the coveted green jacket. Scroll down for the live stream details on how to watch the epic action online.
We're sure there will be plenty of fairway drama like there was in 2016. Jordan Speith, 23, was in perfect shape to become the first back-to-back champ on the 50th anniversary of the great Jack Nicklaus achieving that accomplishment. He was ahead by one until he imploded on the 12th hole with a quadruple bogey. That paved the way for Danny Willett, 29, to win his first major after a day of flawless play.
Click Here For The Hottest Players In Golf
While the first round of play on Apr. 6 was hampered by high winds and rain creating treacherous conditions, it's been blue skies and sun ever since, which is good news for the players. Augusta National is one of the trickiest courses in golf, so they need all the advantages they can get.
Before The Masters began, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that the best player in the world Dustin Johnson , 32, would be taking home his first green jacket. Then the unthinkable happened when in a freak accident he fell down a flight of stairs at his rented home in Augusta, GA on the eve of the tournament. Dustin injured his back and was forced to heartbreakingly withdraw. That left a wide open field to compete to be champion of the PGA's gem.
Golf fans, who subscribe to cable, can WATCH THE PGA MASTERS ONLINE HERE for free via CBS Sports and their live stream starting at . Enjoy the tournament!

"The classic Steak au Poivre! Lots of butter, cream and pepper. An oldie but GOODIE!!"
Steak Au Poivre (Classic)
0 recipe photos
READY IN:40mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 beef loin steaks, cut 1-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1⁄3 cup shallot, finely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup butter, cut into 4 pieces (1/2 stick)
- 1⁄2 cup cognac or 1⁄2 cup other brandy
- 3⁄4 cup heavy cream
- Preheat oven to 200º.
- Pat steaks dry and season both sides with kosher salt.
- Coarsely crush peppercorns in a sealed plastic bag with a meat pounder or bottom of a heavy skillet, then press pepper evenly onto both sides of steaks.
- Heat a 12-inch heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium high heat until hot, about 3 min, then add oil. Swirl skillet to lightly coat the entire skillet.
- Saute steaks in batches (2 at a time). DO NOT TOUCH - this lets them brown nicely and makes all the difference. Cook for 6 min and flip and cook for another 6 minute for medium rare steaks. Repeat with remaining 2 steaks.
- Transfer cooked steaks to a heatprook platter and keep warm in the oven.
- After all 4 steaks are cooked pour off fat from skillet if any, then add shallots and half of the butter. Cook over medium low heat, stirring and scraping up any brown bits from bottom of the pan until the shallots are well browned all over, 3-5 minute.
- Remove skillet from heat and add Cognac. (If you add while on the burner it may ignite.) Boil, stirring until liquid is reduced to a glaze, 2-3 minute.
- Add cream and any meat juices that have accumulated on the platter in the oven. Boil sauce, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, 3-5 minute
- Add the other half of the butter and cook over low heat swirling the skillet to melt and incorporate the butter.
- Serve sauce with steaks.

This multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan has been completed in accordance with Section 322 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as enacted by Section 104 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. The guidelines for the completion of this plan appear in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under Title 44: Emergency Services, Part 201.6. The West Virginia Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (WVDHSEM) further monitored the planning process. Funding for the project was distributed by the WVDHSEM under the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program.
The county-level emergency managers for Marshall, Ohio, and Wetzel Counties acted as the lead agencies for the completion of this plan. Each county contracted out the completion of their own, individual update and jointly agreed that the contractor would consolidate the individual documents into a regional plan; the plan was completed between May, 2008, and February, 2011.
The Marshall, Ohio, and Wetzel Counties Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan is considered "multi-jurisdictional" for several reasons. In addition to the three (3) county governing bodies, all 16 municipal governments located within the counties participated in the data compilation and action plan development through the efforts of individual county emergency managers. All municipalities are represented by at least one (1) project in the action plan. Further, all participating government entities formally adopted the plan by resolution.
It is significant to note that this document mimics the all-hazards approach that the local emergency management community takes as part of its regular operation. Such a decision was considered prudent because county-level emergency management offices are the ones charged with the maintenance and implementation (at a coordinating level) of many of the strategies listed in this plan. As such, this document assumes that the responsibility for mitigation activities rests with the lowest affected jurisdictional level, which is also consistent with the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
A number of documents were utilized as resources throughout the development of the HMP. References to these documents are, at times, direct and cited; other references are indirect and implied. This paragraph serves to formally recognize these documents.
- Marshall County Emergency Operations Plan
- Marshall County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
- Marshall-Wetzel Commodity Flow Study
- Marshall-Wetzel Hazardous Materials Emergency Plan
- Wetzel County Emergency Operations Plan
- Wetzel County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
- Wheeling-Ohio County All Hazard Mitigation Plan
- Wheeling-Ohio County Emergency Management Agency Emergency Operations
Marshall, Ohio and Wetzel Counties Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
(Final – July 2017)

It's finally baseball season, so allow me to begin this review by saying Batman: The Brave and the Bold has a near perfect batting average when it comes to choosing the right guest stars for this awesomely energetic all-ages Batman vehicle. Whether the show is digging into an obscure corner of DC's catalog or re-imagining one of its iconic heroes, the series almost always hits it out of the park when choosing which colorful character will share the screen with the Caped Crusader in a given installment. Captain Marvel is yet another character tailor made for this show's wacky vision, and it was a blast to see this latest episode, "The Power of Shazam!", follow up on the promise of his brief introduction earlier in the season by diving headlong into the character's rich mythology.
The thing about Captain Marvel is that the character is so pure and child-friendly at its core that it forces writers to modify their approach accordingly. As a result, more so than any other episode this season, "Power of Shazam" was geared more towards kids than it was us children-at-heart adults. That's more of an observation than a criticism, mind you. In embracing nearly every aspect of the Captain Marvel mythos – from Dr. Sivana and family, to Black Adam, the Wizard Shazam, the Rock of Eternity, the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man and everything in between – the episode delivered plenty of wonderfully crazy high concepts to meet its normal standard of inspired craziness.
If there was one main difference between "The Power of Shazam" and the majority of this season's outings, it's that the episode had more of a classic, saccharine sweet Disney vibe than the tongue-in-cheek, post-modern color it often takes on. Again, that's not really meant as a criticism. I loved the way the episode used both Billy Batson's oppressive life in an orphanage and the arrival of Black Adam to underscore his yearning for a family before finally paying it off with the arrival of Mary Marvel. It made for a rather heart-warming conclusion and certainly paved the way for the debut of the larger Marvel family in future episodes.
There was also plenty of action to satisfy both younger and older fans of the show alike. Batman's mech-warrior armor made another cool appearance, and the super-powered slugfests between first Captain Marvel and Black Adam and later Marvel and the magically-charged "Captain" Sivana made for some awesome action-packed sequences. As noted in last week's review, the series' animation seems to be growing sharper and more impressive as the season goes on. Having a character as unapologetically maniacal as Sivana along to punctuate the blows with such comments as "You're no match for me, Bat boob!" never hurt an action scene, either.
As charming and enjoyable as the main story was, the episode's prologue was arguably its most interesting. This second season has been hinting at an extended Starro the Conqueror storyline for some time now, and it was rewarding to see this opening segment tie those early appearances together and set the stage for the upcoming two-part climax. The show hasn't always thrived with extended storylines, but this plotline is already coming together better than the Equinox arc ever did. I have high hopes for it.
But above all else, "The Power of Shazam" reminded me how strong the Captain Marvel property really, and the same can't be said of his appearances within the DCU comics in recent years. The character and mythology both demand to be tackled with a kid-friendly tone and sensibility, which is another reason why the property fits so well in Batman: The Brave and the Bold. I will admit that I enjoy the tongue-in-cheek post-modern installments more, but this episode was still heart-warming and enjoyable nevertheless. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Billy, Captain Marvel, the Wizard Shazam and Marvel family in the future.

It's SACRED...it's PROFANE...5:05:00 PM
Hi there lovely people!Today I proudly present my new favourite etsy shop! SACRED & PROFANE! I found this amazing shop when strolling through my all time favourite team's EGST members. It was love at first sight!
Sissy - the talented owner - is a warm and kind person. There are many things I could tell you about her, but I'd rather hear what she has to say!!! So here there are: Ten things the world should know about Sissy and her Sacred & Profane shop!
ONE My dream job is to be the editor-in-chief of a magazine. Preferably a fashion or home décor magazine. Ok, I actually want Anna Wintour's job…
TWO And as you can guess, "The Devil Wears Prada" is my favorite movie. I know all the lines by heart (seriously). Second best comes "The September Issue". "That's all!"*.
* line from The Devil Wears Prada
THREE And since Wintour hasn't resigned from Conde Nast yet, a few months ago I decided to start a blog titled "Sacred & Profane Designs" (follow me!) to feature my personal fashion and home décor objects of desire. Oh yes, and my typography prints as well!
FOUR I love collages. If I have to throw away a magazine (and this happens only when there is no place left for anything else at home) I will cut and keep the images I like in a folder and use them for my collages.
FIVE My skills on time management are terrible. I'm always late and tend to leave things to the last minute. I thought I was a huge procrastinator till I found the right term for my condition: I'm organizationally challenged! (see my etsy print).
SIX I'm a part-time PhD student in Sociology & History of Medicine. I'm a horrible student (see number 5) and I really think that the day my supervisor decides to ditch me is not very far away… It's going to be a sad story.
SEVEN I'm an introvert. I blush often, I feel awkward at parties and hate being around people I don't know very well. Friends tell me to get over it. They never mention how, though…
EIGHT I adore coffee, and that's why you'll find prints with quotes about coffee on my etsy shop. I wish bars would serve coffee after 10 p.m. I wish there were cute, small cafes in every street, in every town. I wish I could wake up every morning by the smell of fresh, hot coffee. Guess you get it. I worship coffee. Full stop.
NINE Did I mention London? Ahhh, I love London! I always speak and dream about London. I've lived there for a year and my dream is to – one day – be able to purchase a flat there (somewhere close to the big department stores, of course!).
TEN Last but not least: the model for my etsy shop's product photos is my little sister! I usually have to whine, beg and cry for her to pose, but when she does she's great and very patient! That's why I want everyone to know that I really appreciate this! Thank you Tania!
Sissy has a gorgeous blog of her own with amazing aesthetics and super cool posts. Check it out here.
Thank you so much Sissy for this amazing interview!
See you again soon lovely people!

Funny post :) Now I know how my condition is called, I'm organizationally challenged too :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for putting a name to my condition as well - we should start a group OCA (Organizationally Challenged Anonymous)!ReplyDelete
~Amy @ Permanent Kisses
Intersting post sweetie! I was thinking...maybe we can follow each other?! XoXoReplyDelete

2016 Mitsubishi Montero
After some time of absence, Mitsubishi brings its one of the most popular model back to North American market. This full-size SUV, which is known as Mitsubishi Pajero in the rest of the world, was originally introduced in 1982 and so far, company made four generations. Current model is present from 2006. It was refreshed in 2012, when it got monocoque body and suspension. After almost a decade of production, it seems that we will finally see a next-generation model. Redesigned, fifth generation is expected to come during this year as 2016 Mitsubishi Montero.
2016 Mitsubishi Montero redesign
If you consider that current model is present for almost a decade and that it got only some minor visual modifications, it is easy to conclude that lovers of this SUV doesn't care much about its look. This SUV was always about performances but honestly, it doesn't look bad at all. Anyway, 2016 Mitsubishi Montero will bring some significant changes, when it is about look. It will come with much aggressive and attractive look, in order to attract wider range of potential customers. However, this doesn't mean at all that performances will be sacrificed. Moreover, it will be characterized by even better off-road capabilities than current model. It is important to mention that 2016 Mitsubishi will get completely new body, which will be made of ultra lightweight materials such as aluminum and high-strength steel. This will provide great weight loss, which means better overall performances, including higher MPG ratings. Interior will be completely redesigned too, but most of details are still unknown, so we can only presume that it will come with new styling, better-quality materials, new technologies and higher overall level of comfort.
2016 Mitsubishi Montero engine
Details about engines are still unknown. Current model is available in many variants, with both petrol and diesel engines in offer. It is expected that 2016 Mitsubishi Montero will continue in same way. Some of the engines will carryover, while some will be replaced with new ones. Moreover, new model will come in hybrid configuration too. The exact system is still unknown, but there are predictions that it will be consisted of 2.0 liter four-cylinder petrol engine and two 60 kW electric motors. Current transmission is considered as pretty much outdated, so expect to see new transmission also.
2016 Mitsubishi Montero release date
The 2016 Mitsubishi Montero is expected to come late this year, with the similar price range as current model.

Day 26 – nothing much happened. Not much chatter. Just a clam sense of peace and stillness. Really nice session.
One or two things.
Halfway through the mediation, I could feel the sweat running down my face, but at the same time I was washed over by a cool wind. And the energy was so intense I almost was shaking.
Also at the end I sat with my eyes closed and I saw 3 tall thin black figures standing looking at me
