Movie review: Promise of 'Ben X' is undelivered
movie review
Ben X: Drama. Written and directed by Nic Balthazar. With Greg Timmermans, Marijke Pinoy and Laura Verlinden. In Dutch with English subtitles. (Not rated. 93 minutes. At the Lumiere in San Francisco and Shattuck Cinemas in Berkeley. For complete movie listings and show times, and to buy tickets for select theaters, go to sfgate.com/movies.)
"Ben X" is an OK movie that could have been a pretty good one. This Flemish drama is a study of the cruelty of adolescent bullying and how it has changed (not for the better) in the Internet age. The film is harrowing, if maybe a bit melodramatic, until it crashes and burns in a feel-good ending.
Ben (Greg Timmermans) is a high school student who has Asperger's syndrome, a developmental disorder related to autism. Persistently picked on at school, Ben escapes by adopting a warrior persona, Ben X, in a video game called Overlord, which involves lots of combat in a vaguely medieval fantasy land.
Ben's condition leaves him largely unable to interact with his fellow students, and that seems to goad them into picking on him in increasingly awful ways. But things are different in Overlord (a real game, by the way).
In the game, heroic Ben X can take revenge on his enemies, and he enjoys the company of a sympathetic female character named Scarlite. Interspersed with Ben's story are interview sequences in which his sorrowful mother (Marijke Pinoy), his teachers and other significant figures talk about the boy in a way that suggests that some unspecified tragedy has occurred.
Ben's chief tormentors are two savages (Titus De Voogdt and Maarten Claeyssens) who step up the abuse until it peaks in a humiliating incident filmed by numerous students on their cell phones and posted on the Internet. The victim's sole consolation is the distant friendship of a fellow game player (Laura Verlinden), the girl who adopts the Scarlite guise. Ben's mother tries to help, but she's worn down by Ben's recurring troubles.
The ending undoes all the intense feelings built up by first-time director Nic Balthazar. It's an abrupt change that deflates the whole piece. Working from his own novel, the director wields a pretty blunt instrument, and, excluding the scenes set in the Overlord world, you may find yourself wondering whether a character or event is real or imagined. I don't think Balthazar is trying to create ambiguity - he just isn't skilled at making the distinction.
Lead actor Timmermans does a good job. At times, his Ben is reminiscent of Jake Gyllenhaal's "Donnie Darko" character, but unlike Gyllenhaal, Timmermans seems a bit long in the tooth for a high schooler.

When you're on the go, charging your smartphone or tablet can be quite difficult if you don't have battery cases, but that can all change now with OnBeat Solar Headphones that can charger your phone while on the move. The headphones charge your device using solar energy while still providing high-quality sound in an eco-friendly package. The idea for the headphones first came to inventor Andrew Anderson a year ago after frustration of limited mobile battery life after listening to a lot of music, which drains battery life.
The headphones come with an integrated flexible solar cell that covers the headphone and that captures solar energy while out doing your everyday activities via its 55cm3 active solar area and two 1000mAh Li-Ion batteries, providing a 5.5v charge capacity. That energy is then stored in two light-weight Lithium Ion batteries held within the two ear cups for a balanced weight and fit on the head. And for days when the sun isn't out the headphones are able to be charged via USB directly from your computer or mains socket. Not only do they deliver in quality, they are lightweight and fully adjustable folding headband with custom developed ear-pads to make sure you get a comfortable fit for hours of gaming and music. They also come with an an integrated remote for controlling the volume of the music in your ears. Get a set if you pledge 25 pounds or about $37 on its Kickstarter campaign.

LIFE'S A BREEZE Available to Buy and Rent on DVD Across Ireland This Friday
The feel-good comedy Life's A Breeze will be available to buy and rent on DVD throughout Ireland from this Friday, 15th November.
The film which is directed by Lance Daly (Kisses) showcases a host of Irish acting talent including Pat Shortt, Fionnula Flanagan and newcomer Kelly Thornton who picked up the Bingham Ray New Talent Award at the Galway Film Fleadh earlier this year. Since its premiere at the Fleadh, the film has screened at festivals across the world including the A-list Toronto International Film Festival and Busan Film Festival. It will screen later this month at the London Irish Film Festival and will be the Gala Movie at the Richard Harris Film Festival in Limerick on December 6th.
Life's A Breeze follows a family struggling to stay afloat and stay together through hard times in Ireland. Unemployed slacker Colm (Pat Shortt), his aging mother Nan (Fionnula Flanagan) and his niece Emma (Kelly Thornton) must overcome their many differences to lead their family in a race against time to find a lost fortune.
The Irish Daily Mail described the film as: "the most heartwarming inter-generational comedy since Little Miss Sunshine" while the popular US website Twitch.com hailed it as "the next Full Monty".
The film was produced by Dublin-based Fastnet Films (The Runway, Kisses), with the support of the Irish Film Board / Bord Scannán na hÉireann, and the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and is being distributed in Ireland by Wildcard Distribution.

The 43rd Volta ao Algarve (15-19 February) will have live broadcast on the international channel Eurosport and on the Portuguese Channel TVI24.
The last hour of every stage can be watched at least in 55 countries and 68M homes. The live will be on the air between 17h00 and 18h00 CET.
The transmission of the Volta ao Algarve enhances and makes more known this region, which is a tourist destination of excellence for bicycles, in its different aspects. We are a region with excellent natural and landscape conditions, with cycling routes and with great hotel, culture, heritage and gastronomy. The live broadcast will allow to leverage the international notoriety of the most important tourist destination of the country ", emphasizes the president of the Tourism of Algarve, Desidério Silva.
"The ATA, responsible for the international promotion of the Algarve, welcomes the dissemination of the region by Eurosport throughout Europe, as it allows us to reach our main markets. Showing the destination at this time of year through the Volta ao Algarve is an excellent promotional opportunity for the region", says ATA (Algarve Tourism Association) President, Carlos Luís.
The president of the Portuguese Cycling Federation, Delmino Pereira, emphasizes the cooperation between the various stakeholders. "I would like to highlight the excellent cooperation established between the Federation and the entities that made television direct possible. The increase in mediatism of the Volta ao Algarve gives cycling a new peak of public attention, which brings benefits to the participating teams and riders, Portuguese and foreigners. On the other hand, it is the affirmation of cycling as a privileged means for the promotion of tourism", says Delmino Pereira.

"What we know about angels," writes Rosemary Ellen Guiley, writer and lecturer on spirituality and human potential, "comes through our otherworldly contact with them." To bolster her claim, Guiley includes stories of some well-known recipients of angel charms--Dorothy McLean, founder of Findhorn; psychoanalyst Carl Jung; poet and visionary William Blake; and American pilot Charles Lindbergh--in this compendious volume.
Some might think of angels as our human pathway to the monotheistic God of our Western culture--a God who remains abstract and remote. All major cultures and religions, however, have intricately developed angel systems. Guiley covers all--comparing angels to analogous beings in non-western cultures in order to trace their evolution. The book is arranged alphabetically by topic, so readers can look up subjects such as angel hierarchy, individual angels, Judaic angelology, the supernatural manifestations of the Virgin Mary, and even--God forbid--sex with demons.
The Encyclopedia of Angels is thoroughly researched and pleasantly illustrated with photographs of sculpture and reproductions of some of the great medieval, Renaissance, and contemporary works of "angel" art. Believers and skeptics alike will treasure this encyclopedia of information on a luminous and mysterious subject!

Spent the day Saturday at Vintage Motorcycle Days at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Had a pretty good time, except the weather kept things a bit on the interesting side. I had been hearing what a great event this is, I needed to pick up some parts for a XS650 project I have in the pipeline, so I figured what better time than now to take in this gathering.
BSA was the featured marque this year, but the weather had the owners scrambling to protect their prize possession's. By the time we made it to the show bike area, there were but a few bike left on display for us to take in. There were a couple more pristine examples in the AMA's Historical tent, but not many. I was bummed about missing most of the vintage BSA's but what are you going to do. We still had a damn fine time in the GIGANTIC swap meet area, and watching a few brave souls flog their vintage hardware around the road course in so shitty wet conditions. Only a couple of riders threw their bikes down the road while we were checking out the action. Most were taking it pretty easy, but a couple of hero's were beating the daylights out of their bikes.
I didn't want to be saddled down with dragging my DSLR and all it's paraphernalia all over, so I had to settle with using Mrs. Gymi's Canon point and shoot. Which is not too bad in most situations, but really sucks a taking pictures of high speed action. So I have to send most of the racing pics to the recycle bin. I did manage to squeeze off a couple of half way decent racing shots. Here a few shots from the bikes in the swap meet area, concours and race track. A '40 BSA before the owner could get it out of the rain.
A super clean '72 H2 that had me pining for my old H2, he was asking 7,800.00 for it so I wasn't pining that much. A beautiful Ariel Square four before it ran for shelter. Another sweet BSA 650 that didn't find shelter in time. A sweet but wet Firebird.
A wild ass vintage Honda Chopper in the swap meet area. A super clean bobber with a Harley KR motor. A sweet Macthless 500. A nice example of a sporty cafe' bike. A pretty clean Suzuki Re5 rotary bike, I saw a cleaner example, but did't get a shot of it. A few brave souls, the guy flat tracking it was absolutly flying around the track on his Kz750. He would fly down the back strait and do a tank slapper braking for the corner every lap. Until he tossed it away on the last lap. He was exciting to watch to say the least. All in all we had a damn fine time and plan on returning next year on our bikes (if they are done by then, they should be, but you never know) Hope to see Ya'll there next year.
Till Next Time.........................

HIV/AIDS News
Trial of TAT Antagonist as Therapy for HIV Infection Altered
The first U.S. multi-center study examining the safety and effectiveness of the drug Ro 24-7429 that in laboratory tests blocks replication of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, will be modified to study higher doses, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has announced. In addition, NIAID will halt three of the four treatment arms testing lower doses because the drug has not shown such activity in participants studied to date.
Richard Haubrich, M.D., from the University of California at San Diego Medical Center is scheduled to discuss the data from the trial, AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) 213, during an oral presentation on June 10, at the IX International Conference on AIDS in Berlin, Germany. NIAID and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., manufacturers of Ro 24-7429, collaborated on the trial.
Ro 24-7429, unlike the three antiretroviral drugs currently approved for AIDS therapy, zidovudine (AZT), dideoxyinosine (ddI) and dideoxycytidine (ddC), appears to halt HIV replication in cells chronically infected with HIV, not just preventing the initial infection of cells. The drug stops HIV reproduction by interfering with the action of a viral regulatory protein, TAT.
The preliminary analysis of data collected from the first participants to complete the 12-week Phase I-II trial has shown that three doses of Ro 24-7429 have not stopped viral replication nor have they increased the number of certain immune cells, CD4+ T cells, that HIV targets. Investigators will continue to study patients already enrolled in a fourth arm, examining therapy using Ro 24-7429 in combination with AZT or ddI. Study scientists plan to begin new treatment arms in ACTG 213 that would examine higher doses of Ro 24-7429. Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. has other studies of Ro 24-7429 under way.
ACTG 213 began in November 1992, with patients randomized to receive for 12 weeks one of three doses of Ro 24-7429, 25 milligrams (mg), 50 mg or 100 mg every eight hours or 200 mg of AZT every eight hours or a body weight-dependent dose of ddI every 12 hours. At the end of 12 weeks, study scientists gave the highest dose of Ro 24-7429, 100 mg. every eight hours, to patients receiving AZT or ddI.
To enter, all participants had to be HIV-infected and not have taken any antiretroviral therapy for 28 days prior to the study beginning. Also, participants had to have counts of the immune system CD4+ T cells ranging from 50 to 500 cells per cubic millimeter of blood. ACTG 213 study sites include Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, Harvard University in Boston, Mass., The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md., and the University of California at San Diego.
Studies sponsored by Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc., and completed at Johns Hopkins before ACTG 213 began found that patients tolerated Ro 24-7429 well and the major side effect was rash. These studies compared single and multiple doses of the drug to determine the drug's safety and how it was processed in the body.
By interfering with the action of the TAT protein, Ro 24-7429 halts the transcription of HIV's genetic material from DNA to RNA in the infected host cell, according to laboratory studies. This transcription is a necessary step for virus replication. Without TAT, the transcription is impeded, new virus is not made, fewer cells are infected and opportunities for HIV to mutate and develop drug resistance decrease.
NIAID, a component of the National Institutes of Health, supports investigators and scientific studies at universities, medical schools, hospitals and research institutions in the United States and abroad aimed at preventing, diagnosing and treating such illnesses as AIDS, tuberculosis, allergies and asthma. NIH is an agency of the U.S. Public Health Service, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

after harvesting wheatgrass
Posted by: liponeer ()

This is my first time growing wheat grass, and it's almost ready to be harvested. But, after I've harvested the grass, should I just allow the grass to grow again, or do I need to recycle the soil? I imagine I will have to replace the soil at some point.

I was told the first grow ids the most nutrient filled.....ive noticed diminished growing after cutting and re-growing the 2nd time. I going to add nutrients(organic) next and see how long I can run the grow.

I haven't grown wheat grass in a while (maybe I should start), but I would use the first cutting for myself and give the rest to the cats -- they LOVE it!

So, my first attempt at using the second growth was that it tasted less sweet and had the bad kind of mold growing near the earth (brown mold). It seemed less healthy, which only makes sense. So, I'm now tearing the second growth up and putting it in my compost stuff, covered.
I did some experiments:
1. Use one cup of seeds per 11"x22" tray.
2. Put seeds on the dirt and cover with a thin layer of dirt, instead of soaking and covering.
3. Cover soaked and sprouted seeds with a thin layer of dirt.
I think I will go with 1 cup instead of 2 cups from now on. The unsoaked seeds grew faster than the soaked and sprouted seeds. I did both at the same time. In other words, I put the unsoaked seeks in the dirt at the same time that I soaked the other seeds, then sprouted the the soaked seeds for 2 days and then put them in the dirt. The unsoaked seeds grew first.
However, both of these got lots of white mold. I'm not sure if it is because of the process or if it's a change in the weather or something else.
Also, I forgot about some seeds and left them soaking for 3 days... It still took 2 days in a colander before they sprouted as much as when I soak for 1 day. Odd.

This is a french word that means 'do-it-yourself' or making things from what you have and what ever skills and tools you posses rather than with the correct and best skills and tools.
As an analytical concept it was developed by Levi-Strauss and taken up by Derrida & Hebdidge (in different directions).
For Levi-Strauss the idea was a sign of a certain approach to understanding the world around one in an ad-hoc fashion, which he contrasted to the planned approach to understanding the world of the engineer.
For Derrida it was the only way in which we could read a text. There can be no planned rational reading of a text because of, one, the semiotic blizzard of possible connotations available to us in that reading, and, two, the social construction of both text & reader (a point to look at in re Barthes S/Z & 'narrative codes').
For Hebdidge Bricolage was a stylistic mechanism which allowed people to mark their sub-cultural position. So that a particular musical or social scene would be associated with a particular set of fashion codes, stylistic choices, and presentations. Hebdidge is looking at the ways in which we display our place in society through our choices of styles and fashions and our appropriations of others styles and fashions.

If someone can be traumatized in 30 seconds, why can't they be healed in a day, an hour, a minute? -Rick Wilkes, EFT Expert.
All our experiences are stored in both the conscious mind and subconscious mind. Our responses/behaviours/reactions/thought processes are driven from the subconscious mind 95% of the time and from the conscious mind 5% of the time. This explains why we are often unaware of how these experiences affect and shape our lives.
What exactly is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and its affects on the mind and body?
"Adrenaline is one of the hormones that are critical to help us fight back or flee in the face of danger. Increased adrenaline is responsible for drastic rise in heart rate and blood pressure. Under normal conditions people react to a threat with a temporary increase in their stress hormones. As soon as the threat is over, the hormones dissipate and the body returns to normal. The stress hormones of traumatized people, in contrast, take much longer to return to baseline and spike quickly and disproportionately in response to mildly stressful stimuli. The insidious effects of constantly elevated stress hormones include memory and attention problems, irritability, and sleep disorders. They also contribute to many long term health issues.

Kore-eda's dugong-inspired musical documentary
Singer-songwriter Cocco has been a reliable source of theme songs for numerous movies including Anno Hideaki's "Shiki-Jitsu", Kurosawa Kiyoshi's "Kairo" (Pulse), Tsukamoto Shinya's "Vital" and Yukisada Isao's "Toku no Sora ni Kieta" (Into the Faraway Sky). Now she's getting a film of her own, directed by no less than Kore-eda Hirokazu who has returned to his documentary roots to make "Daijobu de aru yo ni - Cocco: Owaranai Tabi".
The project came about through the Okinawan leg of the worldwide "Live Earth" concert project in July of last year, where Kore-eda became inspired by Cocco's performance of her song "Jugon no Mieru Oka" about two dugong that appeared in the waters off the site of a planned U.S. naval base. Here's a clip of that performance from YouTube:
Kore-eda subsequently linked up with Cocco from last November in Nagoya for the start of her "Kira Kira Live Tour," which celebrated the passage of 10 years since her debut. The documentary also closely follows her life on her home ground of Okinawa, and delves into her concern for environmental issues.
Klockworx will be giving the doco a roadshow release, beginning with Cinema Rise in Shibuya this December. (source: Variety Japan)

At Kosnett Law Firm, we have put in place a very unique code of practice in educational law and students' rights that helps to advise students and parents of exactly what their legal rights and options are during a dispute with the administrations of a public or private school.
Our firm represents a wide variety of juvenile and adult students in the Anaheim area, as well as surrounding counties in the central and Southern parts of California. It does not matter if it is a high school, college, university or trade school – we will represent you to the best of our capabilities in the following situations:
The fact of the matter is that many parents and students are simply unprepared to face and appeal decisions levied by school administrators. Because schools operate much differently than courts, different boards and decision-makers may deliver judgments against students based on rumors and gossip, rather than actual facts and due diligence. Often times, their tendency to act first in order to make an example of a situation, works to trample over on the rights of the individual student.
For decades our Anaheim education lawyers have worked with students and parents. Helping them prepare to appear before various governing bodies and directing them through the confusing and often intimidating process of appeals. In situations like these it is important to have an experienced attorney to ensure that a conflict with school administration is resolved according to the facts and protects the student's constitutional rights at all times. A negative decision by a school administration against your child can have effects that last a lifetime. Failures which include not receiving a degree, and/or future lost employment opportunities. Students and parents involved in any dispute with a school and its administration are invited to call us for a consultation and review of your legal rights. Because being prepared and knowing your right is invaluable in any situation life may present. But even more so when it affects one of your children!
If you or someone you know is in need of an education lawyer in Anaheim call our office today at 310-751-0446 for a free consultation!
We believe that every person has a right to receive qualified legal representation. Let our lawyers fight your case for you. To schedule a free consultation, call us or email us at 310-751-0446.

I am an alumni adviser for a fraternity at USC. The chapter was involved in a disciplinary action with the university. After receiving unusually harsh and unfair sanctions from a student/faculty review committee, our chapter sought counsel from James Kosnett. He attended a hearing with USC administrators, and prepared a compelling written appeal.

Sunderland have been tracking versatile Polish international Marek Kozminski.
THE 30-year-old, who can operate at leftback or on the left side of midfield, is currently with Brescia in Italy's Serie A.
But Kozminski is unhappy after making just four first-team appearances this season, saying he wants a move to England.
And his agent Carmine Raiola claims Sunderland are front runners for a player who Middlesbrough were monitoring a couple of months ago.
"I like England - a transfer to England is not a problem and Sunderland is OK," Kozminski said.
Despite his recent spell on the sidelines at Brescia, the Pole is a mainstay of his national team and rated one of the most tigerish players in Serie A.
Raiola added: "There have been months of talk about Sunderland here, but there is nothing concrete yet.
"I am not aware of an offer but I hope they will make a bid.
"I am now awaiting a response from Sunderland, but Marek has other options with clubs in Holland, Italy and Spain."
Raiola also revealed that previous interest from Premiership clubs has now cooled.
"West Ham have now signed Vladimir Labant, and as for Middlesbrough I don't know why they didn't follow up their interest," he said.
Meanwhile, Peter Reid's search for a striker goes on after he was snubbed in a bold bid for former Aston Villa striker Savo Milosevic.
The Yugoslav international recently received an offer from the Black Cats as his days at Parma drew to a close, but chose to rejoin one of his old clubs, Real Zaragoza, instead.
So Reid is once again on the trail of Atletico Bilbao hitman Ismael Urzaiz, with the 30-year-old available on a Bosman free transfer this summer.
But with Rangers revealing their own interest in the Spanish international is waning after he demanded £50,000-a-week to move to Ibrox, it remains to be seen whether Sunderland will be willing to meet Urzaiz's personal terms.

Hi how are you?
I was looking through your blog, and I found it interesting, and inspiring to me, so I thought why not leave you a comment.
I too have a blog that I use out of Southern California here in San Diego.
Mostly it is a collection of artistic expression, and I have many friends with the same interests, maybe you can become my friend, and follow, and I can also follow you, if that is okay.
Well I hope to hear from you soon, and or read about you….LOL

IF you want to rankle South Florida's Cuban community, forget the embargo debate: Question their Cuban sandwich.
Miami and Tampa are constantly at odds over which town makes the authentic Cuban sandwich. (West Palm Beach's booming Cuban community wisely avoids the fray.)
Sunday, they will try to settle it. (Hint: they never will.)
Restaurants from Tampa and Miami will prepare their versions of the sandwiches at the Cuban Sandwich Festival Smackdown at the Magic City Casino in Miami Sunday. Yes, Miami has home-field advantage which just sets up an Ali-Frazier-style rematch.
Palm Beach County may not have dog in the fight, but it's egging on both sides: The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County is sponsoring the competition, in part.
And why not? A study says Cuban food is Florida's unofficial cuisine.
So what's their beef? Actually, it's the salami.
Miami's is made with sweet bolo ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mayo and mustard on crusty Cuban bread — all pressed into toasty goodness. But Tampa's native sammy adds Genoa salami, which Miami's mayor flatly said belongs on a pizza not a Cuban sandwich.
My opinion, as the Miami-born son of Cuban exiles (who has been to Cuba and has uncles, aunts and cousins in Tampa)? The salami makes it delicious. But that also makes it no Cuban sandwich.
Let the debate rage on.
What: Cuban Sandwich Festival Smackdown sponsored in part by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County.
When: Sunday, March 1, 2015 from 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
Where: Magic City Casino, 450 N.W. 37th Ave., Miami.
Cost: Admission is free but cost for sandwich samples will vary.

Those of you new to programming may feel overwhelmed at times, but don't worry—you can always refer back to this chapter later on.

About Us
To be totally honest with you we have no idea who dgunning is. But we know he loved architecture, especially that of Frank Lloyd Wright. For whatever reason he decided to let the name go and that's where we found it at auction.
The thought of letting this fantastic piece of architectural history dissipate into the internet actually upset us a little. So we bought the domain and got some of what we think were the most popular pages on the site back up for you.
There's a long list on the homepage so make sure to check them out. And fear not, we will be adding some of our own content very soon too. We love kitchens and especially countertops. So we will start with some of our favorite remodels with granite counters.

This week on Good Food Friday, I shared foods and tips for a healthy heart. What we eat, plays a huge role in helping to keep our heart healthy. These are some tasty and convenient options for every meal of the day that have a heart healthy component.
Plant-based breakfasts
Starting the day with a balanced breakfast can help with weight management, which is important for heart health. Those that are pressed for time in the morning can seek out convenient options like the breakfast burritos by Sweet Earth, which is company that focuses on vegan and vegetarian products. Their breakfasts are completely meatless but they are loaded with protein and fiber which comes from ingredients like the whole grain tortilla, veggies and plant-based protein like tofu and black-eyed peas. Pop these in the microwave or oven and breakfast is served.
Beans are a great protein alternative to meat
Beans are rich in protein but don't contain animal fats which are the ones we should avoid in excess. Beans are also an excellent source of soluble fiber, which may help lower cholesterol. Better beans have been slow cooked in small batches with spices and veggies resulting in great flavor profiles that you can add to tacos, soup and sandwiches at lunchtime, really conveniently.
High fiber snacks
Nuts are a good source of heart-healthy fats and using them to replace saturated fats in the diet, may help reduce the risk of heart disease. I reccomend GoMacro bars to my client as a plant-based on the go snack option. They are made with nuts and whole grains so they have fiber and those good fats. They are also completely organic and plant-based. The ones I shared have fruit added, which has those vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Satisfy your sweet tooth
Legendary Foods nut butters are unique because they come in flavors that are meant to satisfy a sweet craving. We tried the apple pie almond and cashew butter, which is made with apples, their blueberry cinnabun cashew butter has blueberries, and their pecan pie almond butter. They are low in sodium which is good from a heart health standpoint and it's a healthier way to indulge your sweet tooth.

The Transition Program is an extension of Grove School's main campus program and is designed for post-graduate students that need more time in treatment to prepare for college and/or independent living. The program is based in an expansive Victorian estate approximately one mile from Grove School, equidistant between the main campus and the center of Madison. The house is coed, equipped for 14 students, and is staffed by both male and female staff 24 hours a day. Students in this program are involved in community college classes, employment and vocational training within our program and in the community, and are practicing activities of daily living. Each student's program is designed and tailored to their individual abilities and goals. For some students, the goal may be to prepare to transition a four-year college or university, while for others, it may be to simply explore the college setting to test their interest and readiness to pursue post-secondary education. Some students focus on education that is oriented to a trade or vocation such as auto or computer repair. The program curriculum is centered around developing skills to live and function as a young adult; shopping, cooking, using public transportation, pursuing a driver's license, financial literacy, and the executive functioning of following daily and long term schedules, are all parts of the program that students are practicing on a regular basis. Students continue to meet with their treatment teams and pursue activities of leisure outside of their other scheduled programming.

Wrist Tattoos
Wrist tattoos that you can filter by subject matter, style/technique and size, and order by date or score. read more
Getting a wrist tattoo is a usual and popular way to express yourself, a fit for anyone who likes to keep their personal real estate subtle, but impressive nonetheless. The inner wrist is a top choice for those looking to get something delicate or small, and while the inner area is an excellent spot for a tattoo, the closer you are to the creases of the palm the more likely the ink will fall out over time.
Pain can vary significantly, but in general, the skin on this spot is particularly delicate and soft. For example, it may feel more uncomfortable than an outer arm tattoo, but is bearable overall.

Oct. 16 to 17, 2009
The current financial crisis and resultant economic recession raise issues of immediate importance and profound long-range significance with respect to the regulation of financial markets and institutions and with respect to fiscal and monetary policies. The goal of this conference was to focus less on the question of what substantive regulations or other economic policies are needed, and instead looked at the question of who will do the regulating or carry out the economic policies in a world in which there are multiple layers of governments. The conference was co-sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Northern California, Sacramento Chapter.
Some of the questions that the conference explored include:

After graduation, he clerked for Judge James R. Browning of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, before joining the staff of the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. Professor Ahdieh's scholarly interests revolve around questions of regulatory design, including especially those attendant to patterns of coordination. He is presently working on a book entitled The Modern Coordination State, which will build on prior work in the Michigan Law Review, the NYU Law Review, the George Washington Law Review, and the Southern California Law Review, among other journals.

These guitars are from one block of press board cut out with my scroll saw as a compound cut. I made the pattern for them my self. It took me a couple of tries to get them right . I have it down with my pattern now and these guitars are what I want them to be. I put a quarter next to one so you can really see the scale size of them. I make them and sell them and give them as gifts as well. They are a must have for guitar lovers. Thanks for checking out my work Jeff M.

text: Started this cherry red cowl necklace inspired by raveler, Adrienne Krey. She knitted hers. That's why I say inspired. I crocheted mine and changed it a little bit. I thought it looked interesting and would make a great spring necklace as it won't be as warm as a scarf but will keep my neck a little warmer than none. I finished it last night and wore it for the first time today--the last day of spring. Ha ha.

Haney Family Sawmill was able to provide some amazing materials for the custom dining room set I was designing. Thanks to the beautiful lumber Roy provided, I was able to secure two additional custom projects! Thanks Roy!
We were looking for weeks to find someone to provide new split rail fencing for our farm. If it wasn't for Roy and his family at Haney Family Sawmill we would still be on the hunt! Our farm looks great and our animals stay where we put them (finally)!
We wanted something more than just the standard big box shed kit. When we came to Roy he helped us design something that fit the mold of what we wanted and needed exactly. They took the time to explain everything and make us comfortable with our purchase. Plus the ability to stay with locally harvested materials made us feel good.

We were looking for some cedar for our new deck but it was hard to find because we wanted some really unique board sizes. Along comes Haney Sawmill and they were able to cut the pattern sizes exactly the way we wanted them. We will always come back to Roy as long as we are here in TN or anywhere close for that matter.
