NCC and Wright plan for Early College program
By A.J. O'CONNELL
STAMFORD -- J.M. Wright Technical High School will be the site of a new Early College program, starting next year.
The program, which is a collaboration with Norwalk Community College (NCC), was approved Sept. 3 by the State Board of Education.
"We will be phasing in new programs over time," said Superintendent Abigail Hughes of the Connecticut Technical High School system. "It will be a community college curriculum."
Wright, she said, plans to phase the program in over the next three years, adding three new areas of study to the program -- facilities management, business management and film and video production -- and revamping the school's classic trades.
"Culinary will become catering and our hairdressing technology will become hairdressing and fashion design in support of the movie industry," said Hughes.
Neither the state technical schools nor NCC know exactly what the program is going to look like yet.
"The next step is trying to work on specifics," said Hughes. "We'll start developing curriculum."
Curriculum, according to NCC President David Levinson, will be handled by the technical schools. NCC has pledged support to help Wright students enter the college.
"My hope is that I can get enough of my budget to cover tuition waivers for Wright Tech students," he said.
Levinson and his deans envision J.M. Wright as a place where students in ninth grade can -- with the help of counselors, parents and teachers -- plot out a career path that will take him or her to an Associate's degree in six years, and possibly propel students directly into the Connecticut University system. He pictures it as a place where high school students can take college courses and where NCC students act as role models for the high school students.
Levinson is also suggesting that NCC -- which already has construction, automotive, culinary and health courses -- combine its resources with the shops at J.M. Wright, possibly also offering the high school students access to NCC's EMT, paramedic and fire technology courses.
The partnership will also allow NCC to use Wright's building as a Stamford site for night classes. Recently the college closed down its site at Rippowam Middle School for budgetary reasons.
Once the program is phased in, said Hughes, enrollment ought to be boosted to 600 students; the school is currently operating with 252 students, according to Wright's new principal, Joseph LaVorgna.
The state board vote comes several months after NCC first approached the state board about a possible NCC-Wright collaboration.
On April 9, Levinson proposed to the state board that NCC take over Wright. While that idea was rejected by the board at an early May meeting, both Levinson and state administrators believed that NCC is likely to partner with the high school to create an early college. There have been several proposals on the table for Wright, which for almost two decades suffered declining enrollment as a four-year state technical high school in lower Fairfield County. Wright and the Stamford community have been fighting closure by the state for about five years. Last fall, however, the state board of education wanted to shift the school from its traditional four-year format to a dual-enrollment program -- high school students would leave their home high school to attend Wright Tech for a year or two for training in a trade while pursuing a high school diploma.
The board was supposed to vote on the measure in December, but former principal Sidney Abramowitz, the parents and the community railed against such a plan, gaining the trade school a year to up enrollment and explore other options. After that decision was made, the state board of education allowed Wright to begin seeking applicants for the 2008-09 school year.
LaVorgna, who began work at Wright last month, says he knows little about the early college program.
"I'm new; I really don't understand that model enough to give you a professional answer," he said when asked about the program. He and Levinson will meet on Oct. 3 to begin planning for the early college.

Have you ever asked the students in your church how they first discovered your church? Or even church in general?
Maybe a friend invited them, perhaps they attended a marriage or baptism, they might have joined an alpha course or they could have just wondered in one day. It's worth asking this question because it helps to identify how many possible gateways or routes there are into your church. You might be surprised at the results!
If we want our churches to be found by ALL students then here are a few suggestions to improve your gateways or access points.
- Ensure your website welcoming and mentions students.
- Run some social media advertising.
- Encourage students to invite their friends.
- Run social events for any student, not just Christian ones. (gigs, trips to the beach etc!)
- Get out into the nightlife culture as a church.
- Run an alpha course.
- Run small groups for students.
- Work with the Students' Union and ask how your church can help them.
- Run a Fresher's Party, Bonfire Night, Carol Service, Graduation Ball.
There are lots of ways you can use what you have creatively in order to engage well with the university near you and make sure the students are welcomed in. The key is to ask what you have and how you can use it for God. Like the little boy with the loaves and fish, God can do the rest!

Vying for the $20 million business are: Cliff Freeman & Partners, New York; Campbell Ewald Advertising, Warren, Mich.; and FCB Chicago, said Mike Baker, LJS's vice president of national marketing. Creative Alliance of Lousiville, Ky., and Empower MediaMarketing in Cincinnati will continue to handle print and media duties, respectively. The Louisville, Ky., client split with Fallon Minneapolis on the account after two years, over differences on direction and new client management, sources said. LJS parent Yorkshire Global Restaurants, was bought by Tricon, owner of Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, in March for $320 million. A decision on the account is expected by mid-June. LJS spent over $20 million on television advertising last year, according to CMR. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kLMeRC copy Adweek Adweek

Our senior footballers ended a tough year on a high when they won their league final last Sunday last against a fine St. Vincent's football side. Played in Mayfield, this game was a very slow burner in the 1st half. No scores, or chances of any note in the 1st 7 minutes, until our veteran bull Pearse O'Neill grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck. First up he took a pass from Danny Creedon and kicked a fine point. 2 minutes later he set Mathew O'Connor through, and the rampaging wing back doubled Aghada's tally. In between Vincents kicked their opening point. So 3 scores in 3 minutes, but still the flow of the game stalled; along with the scoreboard. Another scoring burst game from the 15th to 18th minutes, when the sides both pointed twice. Pearse intercepted a Vincent's kickout to score his second, and O'Connor up from wing back again for his second were Aghada's two scorers. The next score came on the 26th minute and it was a huge score in the context of the game. Aaron Berry won possession around 40 yards from goal, and played a sublime pass perfectly into the run of corner forward Shane Bennett. Bennett gathered well and finished calmly past former Cork 'keeper Paddy O'Shea in the Vincent's goal. 1-4 v 0-3 as we hit the 30 minute mark, but in stoppage time, Vincents would have a purple patch. Dominating possession, they kicked 3 points in as many injury time minutes, two from play and one free to leave only a point between the sides at the short whistle. Aghada were unlucky not to score another goal just before the whistle, when Berry put O'Connor through on goals. This time the impressive wing back rattled the crossbar with his goal attempt and the ball rebounded all the way out over the sideline to safety.
The second half was a better affair, with at least Aghada working the scoreboard on a more regular basis. But before this the Northside club levelled matters with a point from the throw in. With goalkeeper Andy O'Donoghue, along with Timmy Hartnett and David Rice, all solid at the back, Aghada kicked on. Substitute Kyle O'Shea intercepted a Vincent's attack and set Berry off, with the lively corner forward eventually drawing a free. Danny Creedon, who impressed throughout, kicked a fine free. O'Neill, this time a huge kick off his left leg, hit Aghada's 6th point. On 17 minutes, Ronan Kennedy caught a wayward highball, before skipping past his man and firing over. Then Cian Fleming kicked an outrageous score from out on the left wing after taking a pass from Marcus Leahy. Creedon pointed his 2nd free after Leahy was fouled, for what was Aghada's 5th unanswered point. 1-9 v 0-7 and 10 minutes to play, Vincents needed to rally, and they did just that. 2 points in 2 minutes dented the lead. Aghada responded well though, when a move that started with a good Andy O'Donoghue kickout was worked the length of the field, and the excellent Fleming set up Bennett who pointed smartly. A point from a free for Vincents was quickly added to, when the city club pounced on the resulting kickout and made it a dangerous 2 point game with only 2 minutes of normal time to play. The Aghada fans thought Berry had made it 3 again, but his fine kick was wrongly ruled wide. It mattered little however, as Aghada won the resulting kickout and Conor O'Driscoll made a searing run into the Vincent's danger area, before being pulled down for a certain penalty. Up stepped captain Fleming, who buried the spot kick to the top right corner, to seal a great win for Aghada. So promotion to Division 3 as champions is the outcome, and after a poor year championship wise, it was great to see players and management with a trophy to show for their year's hard work. Well done to all involved.
Aghada Team and Scorers – Andy O'Donoghue, Tim Hartnett, Tommy O'Donoghue, David Rice, Jordan Tynan, Josh O'Shea, Mathew O'Connor (0-2), Tom O'Neill, Marcus Leahy, Daniel Creedon (0-2, 2f), Pearse O'Neill (0-3), Cian Fleming (1-0, peno), Aaron Berry, Ronan Kennedy (0-1), Shane Bennett (1-1). Subs Used – Conor O'Driscoll, Kyle O'Shea, Kevin O'Hanlon and Aiden O'Connell.

Regardless of the name, this is a really cool way to get your caffeine fix and munch on a donut at one go.
Made from scratch in-house by @syukriyouki and team, the large bowl-like cup is freshly made bread coated with thick layer of #Nutella on the inside. Sugar and cinnamon is dusted all over. Freshly brewed espresso is tipped in followed by hot foamed milk, with latte art adding the finishing touch.
Once I finished drinking the coffee, I took a fork and knife to the edible receptacle, slicing up the hazelnut-chocolate donut bowl (which surprisingly, wasn't soggy at all) into neat segments for all to share.
Perfect for such a raining day, French rose tea with dried longan and cinnamon. Take note that this requires a minimum 10 minutes of waiting time as they need time to brew it. $7.50
After so many years they opened, I finally made my trip here. Not sure whether is this because of heavy rain, I came on Saturday lunch time and still have plenty of seats.
Their porky meal was good but not something I would shout out for. The egg was kind of overwhelming the pork meats and it doesn't stand out at all. The portion wasn't big enough considering the price tag also.
But if you are on Burpple Beyond, you can get the set meal for only $24++ with a drink.
Great ambience, good bike theme decoration and quite cozy and definitely very spacious!!
Used Burpple Beyond and ordered a 60 Deg Chicken Breast and a Porky Bowl.
60 Deg Chicken Breast was simply outstanding. The sous vide preparation made the chicken tender and moist at the same time. The mashed potato had the right smooth consistency. Presentation of this dish was simply appealing to the eyes.
Porky Bowl, a safe choice and a right choice too! Flavourful and tasty! The egg was done the way I liked it, a little watery. The combination of the pork, egg and rice definitely worth the try!
Would definitely be back again!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Ralph Lauren, the fashion designer known for his updated versions of classic English and western clothes, underwent surgery Monday for the removal of what a spokesman for Mr. Lauren described as a benign brain tumor.
The spokesman, Alexander Vreeland, Director of Public Relations for Mr. Lauren's company, Polo/Ralph Lauren, said Mr. Lauren was recovering ''as well as the doctors expected him to,'' adding that the designer was expected to leave the hospital later this week, and return to work in May. The name of the hospital was not disclosed, and Mr. Vreeland declined to provide further information, citing concerns about Mr. Lauren's privacy.
Mr. Lauren, who is 47 years old, his wife, Ricky, and three teen-age children, have several homes in New York State as well as in Colorado and on the island of Jamaica.
Last year, Mr. Lauren opened a highly successful store that sells his fashions and other products, including home furnishings and cosmetics, in the former Gertrude Rhinelander Waldo mansion at 72d Street and Madison Avenue. The designer's most recent fashion collection, of women's clothes for fall, was shown last week at the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan.

Well, back from Psychfest. A good time was had by all – loads of good bands, a few average ones, a chance to meet up with a few old friends. Yeah it was a good time, although in truth, not as all-encompassingly brilliant as some of the summer festivals I've been to. There's no substitute for a massive field to bask around in when it's all getting a bit too much for you. Psychfest was, of course, a much smaller affair and there was nowhere really to get away to – it was a bit like being in a giant 14-hour psychedelic ironworks at times.
Set my recorder to "everything" for the weekend, but unfortunately (I've a feeling you know what's coming here)… well, let's just draw a discrete veil over it and say there was an "operator failure" and that I didn't get as many sets as I'd hoped. Sadly, one of the casualties was a stonking Saturday evening set by Woods, the last that I saw of the weekend. They were really very good, re-frying the more pastoral set I'd seen at End of the Road to one that was a little more suited to the occasion.
I did, however, captured this lot:
The Allah-Las
Actually, this was the best set of the weekend, and sad though I was to lose the Woods one, if I'd had to choose…
Strolling out of the desert like a Da Capo Love, all fringed jackets and beatle boots, the Allah-Las looked every inch the study in sixties cool that they clearly are. I'd had to choose between seeing them or the highly promising Early Years where a number of my more-knowing friends were, but I didn't regret it for a moment. They were brilliant.
From the opening bars of "No Werewolf" right to the closing twangs of a glittery 45-minute set, they were very tight and strutted through a series of tracks from their two records with a needle-sharp guitar sound and a groove that set a drunken crowd jigging and, well, frugging (no other word for it…)
Cracking versions of "Catamaran", with all its Stones / Standells echoes and more of that acerbic, twangy guitar, "I Had It All", "Busman's Holiday" and really pretty much the whole set – all of it skin-tight, none of it straying over the four-minute mark.
Quite a lot of noise over the recordings, I'm afraid, but that was a feature of the whole weekend. Although that annoyed me at times over the two days, here, with groovy youngsters jumping about enthusiastically, chatting, singing along, it just felt like I was in my own bootleg "live" album in a Seeds on Sunset Strip style…
Here's a little selection:

Patty Froese Ntihemuka's second Biblical novel brings to life the two sisters from Bethany, Mary who sat at Jesus' feet and Martha who stayed busy — and resentful — in the kitchen. In fleshing out the few scriptural references to these women and their brother Lazarus, the author has also drawn on the tradition that identifies Mary of Bethany with the woman taken in adultery, portraying Mary, as many writers have done, as a prostitute whose life is changed by an encounter with Jesus.
Ntihemuka also weaves in a storyline inspired by Ellen White's Desire of Ages, in which Simon the Pharisee (at whose feast Mary anoints Jesus' feet) becomes a powerful but hypocritical kinsman whose sexual abuse of Mary when she is still a child leads her into a life of sin and shame.
All these threads are woven into a rich and complex story that moves back and forth in time and shifts between several points of view, although Martha is the story's central character and probably the most sympathetic. (And, for all those hard-working women who've wished that the story of Jesus, Mary and Martha had a slightly different ending — yes, in this version Jesus DOES come and help Martha in the kitchen!)
Having written about these characters and this story myself in a modern setting back when I wrote The Man from Lancer Avenue, I was very interested to see how Ntihemuka treated them and was pleasantly surprised to see that she had made some of the same choices I did in portraying Mary, Martha and Lazarus. They're fascinating characters and certainly worthy of more exploration.
The story clearly shows evidence of the author's meticulous research and seems deeply grounded in the culture and thinking of the Biblical era. If I had one criticism it was that the book is too short for such a complex story, and that many scenes that I would like to have seen developed more fully were given rather short shrift as the story flew by.
Insider sources tell me the Ntihemuka's upcoming projects include a novel about Mary, the mother of Jesus and one about the Roman centurion who declared, "Truly, this man was the Son of God!" So there's plenty to look forward to from this author, and I'll keep cherishing the hope that future books will be longer.

Want Santa left in my stocking!!! Damn! I'm Good ;)
Hello, here's just a quick peak at what I got for xmas. This for me was the best Holiday I've had in a long time. I've been on a very low buy for over two year snow so this was an amazing gift to myself, 1 of these came from my mom along with a bunch of nail glitters that I'm looking forward to playing with (and so are my girls!) Two of these came from my dad. The kids got me the Hard Candy Polishes. I guess the fam knows what I like...Lucky Me!! As far as I'm concerned nail polish is the best gift ever! I've been playing with these colors tons although I'm still having a terrible time getting good pics...oh well I'll get better and eventually so will the natural lighting....... Did you hear it's snowy in Seattle? Yep just a little so far in my neck of the woods but it still makes for a cold early morning bus ride into work, but I'm thankfully I can still make it in and get paid! I've been working for over a year now and things are still as tight as ever but I have just enough extra to make things special when I need to. Life is good (at least better)

Clairvoyance: Detailed Guide On Voluntary Clairvoyance : Psychic Development Of Seeing Using Voluntary Clairvoyance
Carin Weatherly
|About the Book
Following up on her prior book titled "Psychic Development: Sight Beyond Sight Using Clairvoyance Safely" the author now takes it a step further to focus on voluntary clairvoyance which is the positive aspect of the whole process while theMoreFollowing up on her prior book titled "Psychic Development: Sight Beyond Sight Using Clairvoyance Safely" the author now takes it a step further to focus on voluntary clairvoyance which is the positive aspect of the whole process while the involuntary is not as safe.In fact a lot of the true psychics state that to do voluntary clairvoyance one has to practice healthy and good living and be generous. One also has to be ready to access one own psyche to be able to "see clearly."This book covers all of that and more and is an extremely interesting topic to learn more about. For individuals that are interested in these types of topics this book is the perfect one for them. Despite the fact that science denounces these practices as being unfounded there are enough examples provided to get the mind thinking that this may not be the case.It is a must have for anyone that may be studying the topic and needs some additional material or for those that have a vested interest in learning all that they can so they can either understand someone that they know who says they are clairvoyant or think they are clairvoyants themselves.About the Author: With this book Carin Weatherly demonstrates that she really did her research by zoning in on the positive side of clairvoyance which is voluntary. She gives not only a sound working definition of the topic but goes a step further to include all the information that one could ever need to learn as much as you can about the topic without flooding the mind with too much information to assimilate.Carin always had an interest in the paranormal and she focused her interests on clairvoyance when she realized that there was more to it than she first thought. She then made the decision to find out as much as she could and then after she collected all the information she want to share it through her writing.She is aware that there are many naysayers and can only encourage all to read and form their own opinion after they get to know more about the practice. After all one cannot discredit what one knows nothing about. She does get a lot of people to satisfy their curiosity by reading her book.She does not push a particular concept on the reader but leaves them to make their own informed decision at the end of it all.

If you're interested in fitness and keep up with current fitness trends, I'm sure by now you realize that the old myth of girls "bulking up" if they lift heavy is just that — a myth. Unless you're lifting for hours a day, or taking testosterone supplements, you're not going to get big and bulky from lifting weights.
When I was following my own lifting plan, I thought I was going heavy, but now that I'm doing Crossfit, I'm learning what lifting heavy really means! Since I started the Crossfit classes 4 weeks ago, we've been working on elements of the Clean and Jerk, which starts with a deadlift. Today's WOD looked like this:
Stretch & Roll
Skill: Jump Shrug to Hang Clean
10 minutes EMOM (every minute on the minute)
KB snatch (I used a 25 lb plate)
30 double unders (I did 90 regular jump ropes)
Deadlift: 5 sets of 5
I want to talk a bit about the Deadlift. There were 3 girls in class today, so we buddied up on one bar. We started with 95 lbs, which I thought was heavy. My friend Sarah was talking about adding weight, but I really thought 95 would be the most I could do. So, I did 5 reps of 95 lbs and it was pretty hard. Then we added 10 lbs (to make it 105) and I did 5 reps. Once I started gaining confidence, it wasn't so bad. I added 10 lbs to the bar each set, and maxed out at 135 lbs! I honestly did not think I was capable of that, so I'm pretty pleased with myself this morning! I even think I could have gone a little heavier, so next time we do that, I will start at 105 instead of 95, and go up from there.
Now, let's talk a bit about food, because that's the natural progression after workouts, right? I've been pretty adventurous in the kitchen lately, so I want to share a couple recipes with you:
Last night, Zach had to work late so I was on my own for dinner. After a pretty decent round of the Pick a Card treadmill workout:
I decided a large bowl of pasta was in my future. I've been wanting to make peanut noodles for a while, but I don't like springing something exotic that I haven't even tried on Zach, so I thought it would be a good time to try it.
Thai Peanut Noodles with Peas, Carrots and Chicken
Note: I didn't actually do much measuring while I was making this, so these measurements are guesses. Just taste your peanut sauce as you go to see what you need to add.
1 serving whole wheat noodles of your choice (I used thin spaghetti)
1/2 c. frozen peas and carrots
1 knuckle of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
2 Tbs natural peanut butter
1 tsp sesame oil
1 Tbs plus more to taste Lite Soy Sauce
1 Tbs plus more to thin hot water
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
Crushed red pepper (optional)
Put a large pot of water on to boil, adding salt and oil if desired. Boil the noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat the sesame oil over low heat and add ginger (you could also add scallions or onions if desired). Saute until fragrant. Add peas and carrots, and saute about a minute more. Add peanut butter, soy sauce, hot water and salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until smooth and thick. If it's too thick, add a bit more water. Taste the sauce and add more soy sauce, salt or pepper to taste. Toss with spaghetti noodles. Set aside. In the same pan you cooked your peanut sauce, turn the heat up to medium and spray with cooking oil. Salt and pepper both sides of your chicken breast (or use 7-2-1 spice) and cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through. Slice. Sprinkle your noodles with crushed red pepper if you wish and put the sliced chicken on top. Enjoy!
This turned out to be a really great dinner! Feel free to tweak the ingredients and play with the amounts. Let me know if you try it!
The next recipe I want to share is what I made for breakfast this morning. After Crossfit, I like to have something high in protein to help my muscles repair themselves. I wasn't feeling like having eggs this morning, and protein pancakes didn't sound appetizing either. Although, regular old fluffy, buttermilk pancakes did! So, I decided to make a protein-buttermilk-pancake hybrid:
Cream of Wheat Buttermilk High-Protein Pancakes
3 Tbs. Cream of Wheat Cereal
1/4 c. whole-wheat flour
3 Tbs. liquid egg whites
1 whole banana, smashed
1/4 c. almond milk mixed with a splash of apple cider vinegar
Optional: Cinnamon, Pumpkin Pie Spice, chopped nuts, dried or fresh fruit
In a small bowl, smash your banana well. Add the egg whites and smash the banana a bit more. Add cream of wheat and almond milk/vinegar mixture. Stir in whole wheat flour. Add any add ins you wish.
Preheat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking oil. Scoop about 1/4 c. of the pancake mixture into the pan and cook until bubbly. Flip and cook until golden. Repeat. Top pancakes with butter and jam or syrup.
This will make 3 large pancakes or 6 smaller ones, so this can be 2 servings or just one. The nutritional information is here:
I ate the whole recipe this morning because I was starving from my workout, but I would cut it in half for a lighter breakfast. Either way, you're getting 7 grams of protein/serving, which is pretty good, and you're still getting that yummy, thick, buttermilk pancake flavor! Of course, this recipe isn't for the carb-o-phobes! If you wanted to cut down on the carbs, you could make them with just the whole wheat flour, but I really enjoy adding in Cream of Wheat to my pancakes.
Question of the Day:
Do you ever experiment in the kitchen?

Well, I posted my first blog last week and thought I'd follow up with a few comments on events that I'm interested in that have occurred since then.
EU refrendum
So, we had the EU referendum last Thursday and the UK people voted to leave.
However, I have seen an online petition requesting that the vote be taken again. Why? We voted once and the decision was made. What happens if the vote goes the same way? More petitions until the people who disagree with the result eventually get the vote going the way they wanted? Democracy at it's best.
Oh Vale, what happened? A massive opportunity thrown down the road.
Okay, after seeing countless replays of the crash, I can see that there was no warning and no way of saving it, but again, a massive opportunity missed.
If Rossi had stayed on and won, and even if Miller hadn't passed Marquez, Rossi would have only been 17 points behind Marquez and would have been in front of his team mate Lorenzo. Still, Coulda, woulda, if and but. Still fell off and really left himself with an almost impossible task ahead. But never say never.
My latex printer
So, Wednesday afternoon, printing off several orders and going along quite nicely until a print came off with banding and fading colour. Clean the printheads and print again. Uh-oh, just as bad.
Try again. Even worse. Looks like the light cyan printhead has given up the ghost. Again.
I replaced it a couple of weeks ago and it failed after only printing a very small amount of ink. Got it replaced under warranty, but it just failed again. Upon further investigation, it appears that there is an issue with the whole of the light cyan channel.
Called the engineers and arranged for them to be here this morning. Unfortunately, just had a call. They don't have the required ink and can't get here until tomorrow. Don't think my customers really care and probably won't accept that as an excuse from me <sigh>
Oh well, press on.

This exceptional estate, situated at the heart of the best sites in Fuissé, was founded in 1840 by Jeanne Ferret: a remarkable lady who recognised the impact of 'terroir' on the finished wine. To ensure that the quality and distinctiveness of what the Domaine produced was preserved for the consumer to appreciate, she insisted on estate-bottling the wine – not a common practice at the time. Jeanne was succeeded by her daughter, Colette, who built on her mother's reputation for quality. Although the property was acquired in 2008 by Jadot, it is still run separately, and true to tradition, the wines are now made by another lady, Audrey Braccini. They show an exciting, nervy tension that is rare in Pouilly-Fuissé, and come very highly recommended.

text: As the weather turns colder, our stomachs and taste buds begin to turn to something a little warmer: baked goods in our kitchens! One of the most well known, seasonal, and yummiest treats is gingerbread. Sandy Lee has to agree. In fact, she loves traditional German gingerbread known as Lebkuchen so much that she travelled countries well known for the gingerbread recipes and founded her own company, Leckerlee (a play on the German word 'leckerli' which means tasty little treat!), in the fall of 2011 in New York City, New York. Her little business provides the United States with a traditional German sweetie that isn't usually available on this side of the "Big Pond". For everyone who tries to be conscious about what they put into their body, there's even more good news: Leckerlee uses no artificial preservatives in their goodies! Just one more reason to give Leckerlee's Lebkuchen a try!

"The Man" is intent on taming the boxer he has dubbed the "beast", with Anthony Mundine declaring there's no point talking about fighting Floyd Mayweather if he loses to Joshua Clottey on Wednesday.
Mundine will make the first defence of his WBA International super welterweight title against New York-based Ghanaian Clottey at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre.
Former IBK welterweight champion Clottey has challenged Mundine to stand and fight with him and not to hold.
Mundine came in slightly over the 69.85 kg limit at a media call on Tuesday morning, but wasn't concerned.
After spending time in a spa, he scaled 69.8 compared with Clottey's 69.7, at the official weigh in three hours later.
Clottey, 36, (37-4, 22 KOs) is ranked 14th, 11 places below 38-year-old Mundine (46-5, 27 KOs).
The African fighter has beaten two other world champions, Zab Judah and the late Diego Corrales and has never been stopped.
His only losses were to other world champions, Manny Pacquiao Miguel Cotto, Antonio Maragarito and Carlos Baldomir.
While talk persists of fights against WBA Super champion Mayweather, WBO title holder Demetrius Andrade, Cotto and Saul Alvarez, Mundine steadfastly refuses to overlook Clottey.
"If I lose his one, then there's no point in talking about Mayweather or Alvarez or Cotto, because every fighter is a hurdle and I've got to make sure I get over this one," Mundine said.
"There is no doubt the man is a bit of a beast.
"He's one of the best fighters I've fought so I'm paying my just dues and respects.
"He's an allrounder. He can box, he can come on the front foot, he can box on the back foot, he can counterpunch and he's got power in both hands.
"In saying that, I feel everything that he does I do a little bit better."
Clottey, who is listed as seven centimetres smaller than Mundine, isn't keen on a pure boxing match.
"With boxing sometimes it makes the whole fight boring, " Clottey told AAP.
"I always like to throw punches and beat the people up and show my boxing ability.
"I wish Anthony is going to stay there for us to show our punching power and show our boxing ability and what we can do.
"I don't like holding, Don't hold me and I won't hold you."

AceShowbiz - Emilia Clarke has no idea how "Game of Thrones" will end next year because the cult show's bosses have devised a scheme to keep the castmates in the dark. The actress, who plays dragon queen Daenerys Targaryen in the fantasy series, thought she knew how the show would end, but now she's clueless.
"I think they're filming a bunch of stuff and they're not telling us," she tells The Hollywood Reporter. "I'm being serious. I'm being deadly serious. I think that they don't even trust us."
"There's lots of different endings that could happen; I think we're doing all of them and we aren't being told which is actually what's going to happen," she added.

Robert Miller Patton was the 20th Governor of the U.S. state of Alabama from 1865 to 1867.
Patton was born July 10, 1809, in Russell County, Virginia. His family moved to Huntsville, Alabama, in 1818 where Patton attended Green Academy. Patton apprenticed in the family cotton mill founded by his father William. In 1829 he moved to Florence, Alabama, and began a mercantile business that his sons took over in the late 1850s. He married Jane Locke Braham of Huntsville on January 31, 1832. They had nine children. Seven of his children lived to adulthood but he lost two sons, both Confederate soldiers, during the Civil War.
Patton's political career began in 1832 when he was elected to the state legislature. He was elected to the special legislature that convened in 1837 in response to the financial panic and depression of that year. Although he was a Whig, Patton continued to serve in one branch or the other of the state legislature until the outbreak of war. He represented the state at the national convention in Charleston, SC, in 1860 and was present at the secession convention in Montgomery.

Not all of The Royals might have come out of Sunday's charity gala with smiles on their faces, but Queen Helena (Elizabeth Hurley) most definitely did.
Not only is Jack Parker, the new man in her life, putting her in a good mood — as you can see in the exclusive clip below — but he's also given Helena her first good day in a long time. And, it seems, they may even have escaped to Paris for a bit.
This is sad news for Spencer, who seems to have caught feelings for the queen following their relationship's turn for the physical. Unfortunately, when the Lord Chamberlain expresses his (slightly jealous, obviously hurt) feelings on the matter, Helena offers him an ultimatum.
"I refuse to walk on eggshells in my own palace," she declares. "If you can't accept that, you need to think long and hard about your place in this monarchy."
The Royals airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on E!

Prelude To TRANSFORMERS: COMBINER WARS Featuring Optimus Prime
A war torn Optimus Prime, former leader of the Autobots, is front and center motion comic prelude to TRANSFORMERS: COMBINER WARS, the upcoming eight-episode animated series that will premiere on August 2nd on the social entertainment platform go90 in the U.S.
The new animated series follows the hugely successful new comic book series and toy line that has been released over the past year that follows Transformers that are all able to combine to form larger units. The series is also tied into the Transformers: Devastation video game as well and is all part of the new expanded universe.
Taking place 40 years after the great war on Earth, Transformers: Combiner Wars introduces new lore and all-new characters that, combined with the characters fans have known for decades, will bring the Transformers storytelling in a new direction.
The Autobots and Decepticons have disbanded and returned to Cybertron. With the days of Optimus Prime and Megatron over, Cybertron is now ruled by a triumvirate. However, an ancient technology has enabled a new threat, the power for multiple Transformers to combine into one massive, dangerous form: Combiners. Who will stand-up to this threat to ensure that the fragile peace that was 4 million years in the making remains?

Week 3 : Homesickness sets in
This week was rough for classes, insofar as I felt behind in them even if I had no work to be done, and felt generally not in the right mindset for school. I'm getting back into it now though and I think next week will be better.
I realized some things during my classes this week too, primarily that the students are remarkably similar to home, and just as if not more generally apathetic towards learning. In every class, of 20 or 200 people, many students are on their phones and this has become extremely distracting and frustrating for me. I haven't got much else to say about it, other than I'll have to focus on staying even more engaged in the lectures myself if I'm going to get what I need out of them, because it doesn't seem to be bothering anyone else. Classes are otherwise very similar to home and involve roughly the same amount of lecture, discussion, and group work, and I'm at least thankful I don't have to adjust to a dramatically different system of teaching.
This week DCU had clubs and societies days and Nathaniel and I perused the over 100 booths to see what we might be interested in. This was important for me, because I've been told from several different sources and my own experience in school, that getting involved positively influences your college experience, especially abroad. I know this will probably be my best avenue for meeting and connecting with local students, which is one of my big goals here. I may have a bit of social anxiety about it, but I don't want that to stop me from joining some of these societies. So, I've started out with Book society, which I joined with Nathaniel, and Harry Potter society. I had to pay to join so I hope that'll keep me invested in actually going. Things start to happen next week so I'm excited about that. Nathaniel also joined the Drama society, so I'm glad we each have our own thing to do and be forced to spend some time apart, because I'm sure it'll be good for our social lives.
I started to have some weird homesick feelings this week that were different than what I expected I'd feel. At one point I would think about the fun things I'd been doing in terms of, oh I can't wait to be home next week and tell everyone about this. And then I'd remember I'm not going home yet, but maybe wished I were. I've done so much and it's only been a few weeks and it feels in a way just like a fun and short vacation. Time to wrap it up and head home. And part of me is okay with that and excited to be on a plane again, because I think traveling is kind of fun. Then I've been getting excited, thinking, wow, if this is all I've done in two weeks think of what I can do in three months! And especially once I've met some people, it'll be fun in a whole new way. Then I worry it'll go by too fast, the whole thing will be over before I know it and I'll be so sad, after all, I'm only here three months. Then I think about my friends, my family, and my three year old nephew Kole, who is changing all the time, and think there's no way I can do this, three months is so long! And so it goes in circles. It's since passed, but this was strange for me. It may be an indicator that I'll have some new feelings here that I hadn't anticipated.
I got a bit homesick this week for other reasons too. Last week was new student week and that got me missing PLUS Team. I was on it last year and had applied to be a returner this year and had to drop out to pursue this study abroad opportunity. That was hard to do, PLUS team was really important to me and I made some great friends from it, some of whom returned to it this year. I thought about them all a lot during the week, mainly how much fun they're having and how exhausted they must be. I still haven't been able to talk to most of my family at home and when I have it's been through email, and even though I never planned to keep in constant contact because I'd be so busy, I expected to connect with them more by now. That's especially hard because so many people studying here have had family already come and visit them and I'm just a bit bummed that my family are unable to make that trip. Then, the shooting in Roseburg happened yesterday, and that was hard. It stirred up a lot of feelings and I've been both sad and frustrated since I heard, which has made it more difficult to focus on my experience here, especially when it's made Irish news as well. I don't want to forget about it, but I need to not let it bother me too much. I've been struggling with all of that this week.
Some other things from the week: I'm getting more comfortable crossing the street like people who live here, trusting my own judgment, I'm making an Austrian friend, the beautiful weather will soon be gone so I need to get myself outside more to enjoy it, I need to stop buying so many clothes or I won't have any way to take them home and might spend all my money, I've been craving a diner like Dennys where I can get every breakfast food, but that doesn't exist here.
The theatre (the Helix) on campus is very nice, and has a cafe and a great view of campus.
There a lot of great trees on campus and I love trees!

One night we went out and saw Arthur Miller's "A View From The Bridge." It was excellent! One of the best shows I've ever seen!

A night on the town. Bruxelles bar and restaurant.
One day I went shopping and picked some flowers on my walk home. A final reminder of summer as the weather starts to cool off here and the leaves begin to fall. I'm excited about the changing seasons, it's just as beautiful here as home!

Today's idiom: burning your bridges
Meaning: cutting off your option to go back; ending an interaction, whether personal or professional, in such a way that it cuts off all ties with the person(s) or business
Origin: It's unclear when this phrase came into play. All the sources agree that it came from a military strategy in which the commander would burn bridges as his army advanced to keep the enemy from following and keep his troops moving forward. Maybe not the best strategy ever?
Sources: phrases. word reference. using english.

Jackson Dental is conveniently located in downtown Tampa. Very nice place. Staff are friendly and are great at what they do. Ana the hygienist has been particularly very nice to me and would love to always go back for my dental work.
Really felt comfortable and good work done by the doctor and the staff:)
I can not say enough good things about this office. EVERYTHING was perfect-from scheduling, to my appt starting on time, to the treatment by dental assistant and dentist, to reviewing finances and scheduling services going forward. I haven't been to the dentist in years and has very high anxiety about facing my dental concerns. Norma was professional, kind, knowledgable and had a sense of humor that eased my nerves. Dr. Scheffield was kind, honest, and took the time to explain treatment recommendations and worked with me to collaborate on a treatment plan. Yaya was super helpful in reviewing my insurance and copays for scheduled services in the future. The office was clean, modern, had massage chairs, and tv! I recommend this office for anyone. Thank you Jackson dental!!!
Love the office atmosphere. Dr. Sheffield filled 8 of my cavities in a 3-month span and I haven't had any issues (yet, but it's looking good so far)! Dr. Sheffield and Ebony made sure that I was comfortable the entire time and tailored their practice to my needs. I am very relieved to have a dentist like Jackson Dental so close to where I live since I have anxieties about my teeth and going to the dentist as you can imagine with my 8+ cavities over the years. They even text you to make sure you're doing okay the next day which is really important imo.
I've been going to Dr. Jackson for about a year. I've had a few fillings and crowns down there and his staff is AMAZING! Everyone is so friendly and Dr. Jackson makes you feel very comfortable. They have flat screen TV's (with Netflix) for you to watch while you are getting your work done. They make the crowns SAME DAY which is very convenient (appointments take a little longer though - 2.5 hours) and saves you from having to make several appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Jackson and his staff!!
I've been going to Dr. Jackson since he moved into the BoA Bldg downtown, an extremely convenient location for me since I work in the building. Their office is very updated and attractive. The dental hygiene staff are all wonderful. I've had 2 crowns made for me recently and they are made FOR ME by their staff right there in the office and for each crown I am in and out in 3 hours, no temporary crown - an actual crown made for me in their office. I love that it doesn't have to be sent off to be made elsewhere and if there are any issues with anything, including dental appliances (like night guards or retainers), they will see you ASAP. Very happy to have found them and highly recommend!

Synthetic cannabis, sometimes known as K2 or spice weed, has become increasingly popular in recent years. This is partly due to its lower price, and partly due to it being legal to buy in some places where real cannabis is illegal.
It's often sold as a harmless high, what's the truth? There seems to be a growing body of evidence that people smoking synthetic cannabis are suffering from poor health both physically and mentally.
But the picture is muddied due to the fact that spice weed is not a single drug. It is created from a range of laboratory made chemicals, making it difficult to pin down what's actually in it.
So how dangerous is synthetic cannabis, and how much risk are you putting yourself in if you use it?
What Exactly Is Synthetic Cannabis?
Synthetic Weed is not grown, it's made in a lab. It's also constructed from different psychoactive ingredients, unlike real cannabis which is almost entirely psychoactive because of its THC content.
Spice, and other forms of synthetic cannabis, have the capability to produce longer and stronger highs van real cannabis, and at lower dose. This is part of the appeal, especially as they are also usually cheaper.
The first synthetic cannabis is generally recognized as appearing in 2008. It was a aminoalklindole, developed by scientists at a US university. It was then sold legally under the brand name "Spice", hence why most synthetic cannabis is called "spice cannabis".
Since then, synthetic weed production has exploded. It is relatively cheap and easy to create in large quantities, mostly by companies in China. It is then shipped as a powder around the world.
The synthetic cannabis is then created by attaching the powder to leaves, using substances such as acetone and methanol.
So the bottom line here is that nobody has much of a clue what spice cannabis actually consists of. I'm guessing even the people in the factories don't really know, because they are producing this stuff in massive bulk and shipping it out as quickly as possible at low cost, to make profit.
How Does Spice Weed Work?
Naturally grown cannabis is a partial agonist of the cannaboid receptors. It's been around forever, and is well understood.
The problem with Spice/Mamba/K2 is that the synthetic drug is a full agonist. This means that even at low dose it smashes into the cannaboid receptors, and can overwhelm them.
This can create a more intense experience, but it can also dramatically increase the chances of a negative experience, and the likelihood and intensity of ongoing issues.
Part of the intensity is down to the volume of powder that is mixed with underlying plant. Basically, the more powder there is, the more intense the effects can be. So it really can be hit and miss as to the effects, even using the same artificial cannabis, because of the different ways it can be made.
Are The Side Effects Of K2 Dangerous?
Part of the problem with artificial cannabis is that at the more powerful end of the scale, a very small amount can produce powerful effects.
This in turn exacerbates the potential for negative side effects, such as:
- Difficulty breathing
- Panic attacks
- Increased heart rate
- Increased body temperature
- Psychotic incidents
- Intense sweating
- Lack of balance and coordination
At the extreme end of the spectrum, with a combination of high dose and adverse reaction, the inhalation of synthetic weed can lead to loss of feeling, collapse and unconsciousness.
Long-term side effects can be even worse, with mental health issues are linked to the use of artificial cannabis. At the low end of the scale, people can suffer increasingly intense panic attacks, while at the high end of the scale, psychotic incidents and violence have been linked to use.
Some people report ongoing issues in the lives. The example, some people suffer from an increased blood pressure which does not go down after ceasing the use of artificial cannabis, leading to them having to deal with high blood pressure on a daily basis.
Is Synthetic Weed Addictive?
Real cannabis can be emotionally addictive. However, it is becoming increasingly obvious that synthetic weed is also in some forms physically addictive.
The problem is that due to the large range of chemicals used, across many different countries, there are literally hundreds of different strains of artificial cannabis. This makes pinning down how addictive it is very difficult.
But what is clear is that withdrawal is more severe than with real cannabis. This, mixed with the more intense high, makes both physical and emotional addiction more likely.
However, it's difficult to quantify how addictive synthetic weed is, because there are so many different types, and it is so new, only being just over a decade old.
Generally, you should be concerned if you are using synthetic cannabis and are experiencing any of the following:
- You are continuing to use synthetic cannabis despite physical or emotional negative effects
- You are choosing synthetic cannabis over real cannabis is due to the intensity of the experience
- You are choosing synthetic cannabis over real cannabis due to the price
- You are craving the effects of spice weed
So Should I Stay Away From Synthetic Weed?
The problem with all types of synthetic cannabis is that there is simply not enough scientific evidence to say how physically or emotionally damaging they are at the moment.
The jury is out because there are so many different types of synthetic weed out there, of different strengths, that a standard response is impossible. Until science catches up with users and legality, it's going to be tough to make an informed decision.
Obviously it's up to you as an individual to make an informed decision, but with so many variables to take into account, and so little information to make a decision on accurately, trying synthetic weed is probably not recommended.
Although you might be fine, if you continue to use it in a sustained manner, you could become addicted in a way that you won't by using real cannabis, potentially with long-lasting mental and physical effects.

Hofstra graduate Samantha Amaral is playing Grover in Sesame Street Live's new show, "Let's Dance!" coming to The Theater at Madison Square Garden Feb. 11 to 21.
Amaral, 28, dons the furry blue Muppet costume and uses a lever similar to a bicycle handlebar brake to open and close Grover's mouth when he speaks. Even though her face is hidden inside the costume, Amaral says she's constantly making the monster's facial expressions and saying to herself, "Stop raising your eyebrow! No one can see you."
Dancing in the costume is a challenge, she says. She has to wear Muppet feet, and to shake Grover's head, she has to move her neck in an exaggerated way. Amaral, who graduated from Hofstra in 2010 and auditioned for Sesame Street productions at an open call that same year, played the Count and Rosita in a previous Sesame Street show.
Playing Grover in "Let's Dance!" is a promotion of sorts, she says. "Grover is a slightly more well-known character to the older generations," she says.
