Don't take our word for it. We took our Stroopwafels to Fairfax, California to test if we really did create the best tasting and most enjoyable sports nutrition on the planet. Hear what cyclists and mountain bikers had to say about The Stroopwafel and how they plan to incorporate it into their nutrition planning.
We've been inspired by 18th century Netherlands to create our irresistible Energy Stroopwafel. This addition to the GU Nutrition Matrix tastes great with your morning coffee, during a gran fondo or ultra-marathon, and anytime you are looking for an alternative energy source to power your performance. Not your average waffle, this syrup-filled creation has the nutrients that make GU products great like essential amino acids, electrolytes, and carbohydrates. We can't wait to see where you'll take us!
They are so good. I know they can be used for a mid-run refuel, but they never make it past the front door. Please send me more.
- Max King, World Mountain Running Champion
There is no wrong way to eat a Stroopwafel. For over 200 years the Dutch have been warming theirs over coffee. We've found the coffee dunk quite delicious as well. But The Stroopwafel was created to taste great on the go, straight out of the packaging. Just tear, eat and go.Show Now

Print this column
What an interesting web the summer box office weaves this year, as another weekend brings lots to talk about at the box office. Sony's Spider-Man reboot opened this weekend with a new approach and star, and while the brand is transforming well on screen, the opening weekend failed to match that of Paramount's Transformers at the box office, which also opened on the Tuesday before the Independence Day long weekend back in 2007. Katy Perry and that Savage Oliver Stone also opened films this weekend, to interesting results, and Ted and Magic Mike went in different directions. Still, the story is Spidey and whether or not it was rebooted too early.Following a Monday to Sunday box office total of $140 million, our obvious box office champion over the July 4th long weekend is Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man. Its box office totals will be heralded today in the press; however, the question to ask is how these totals hold up against similar films? Comparing the box office of reboot films like The Amazing Spider-Man and Batman Begins is ludicrous, as Warner Bros. had destroyed the Batman brand with Batman & Robin (Clooney/Schwarzenegger, 13% fresh), and was fighting to be simply relevant again – without the Ahnold jokes ("Let's kick some ice"). The much better comparison for The Amazing Spider-Man is 2007's Transformers, a film that was also an expensive fanboy Part One, and also because it opened on the Tuesday prior to Independence Day.

Televisualist: Americans Got Cookfood
Each week, Torontoist examines the upcoming TV listings and makes note of programs that are entertaining, informative, and of quality. Or, alternately, none of those. The result: Televisualist.
Texas Rising is a miniseries produced expressly for Memorial Day about the Texas Revolution. It is basically crap, despite starring Bill Paxton, Brendan Fraser, Ray Liotta, Kris Kristofferson, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jeff Fahey, and Crispin Glover (which is a pretty great cast, even if they have inexplicably cast Brendan Fraser as the token White Man Who Lives With The Natives And Has Taken up Their Ways Like Kevin Costner). How crap is it? One simple answer: the trailer features numerous men wearing Stetson hats. The Stetson was invented around 1865. The Texas Revolution was fought from 1835 to 1836. (Global, 9 p.m.)
It's a brand new season of American Ninja Warrior! We don't have anything else to add, because American Ninja Warrior is just a genuinely unique experience—and a fun one too. (NBC, 8 p.m.)
The Island was likely pitched as "Survivor, but for reals"—they took 14 men (and yes, all men, and you can't help but suspect that there was either sexism in the casting or lawyers told them they couldn't risk a sexual assault—either way, booooooo), and stranded them on a desert island, and that's the whole show. No contests, no eliminations, just a bunch of dudes trying to not die—there weren't even any cameramen, since the participants were their own cameramen. This will either be fascinating or really, really boring. (NBC, 10 p.m.)
Worst Cooks In America: it does what it says on the tin; it's Canada's Worst Driver but with food (and Americans). (Food Network, 10 p.m.)
America's Got Talent is back for a 10th season, to prove that Americans can do other things besides cook badly. (City, 8 p.m.)
Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? returns after six years with—they really said this in the show's promo materials—a "new generation of fifth graders." That's probably good, considering the original fifth graders are now almost high school graduates, and therefore probably not that smart anymore. Also, they should totally do a show called Can You Cook Better Than A Fifth Grader? Man, I got so many good ideas. Call me, TV people! (Fox, 8 p.m.)
Extreme Weight Loss returns for a fifth season of Americans proving they can lose weight after they eat all that badly cooked food. (ABC, 9 p.m.)
The Briefcase is a reality show where two struggling American families (who, it appears, can generally cook well enough) are each given a briefcase with $101,000 in it, and then told they can either keep all of it or give as much as they like to the other family—with neither family knowing that the other family also gets a briefcase. The working title for the series was We're Just Fucking With Poor People. (ABC, 8 p.m.)
Bullseye is a game show where people turn themselves into human darts to try to win money and it's still more dignified than The Briefcase. No word on how good these Americans are at cooking. (Fox, 8 p.m.)
Aquarius finally answers the question "What if David Duchovny had to fight Charles Manson?" The answer: is groovy. (NBC, 9 p.m.)
Say Yes To The Prom is like Say Yes To The Dress but with teenaged girls because that's more soul-deadening. (TLC, 8 p.m.)
The Weekend
Golan the Insatiable: a cartoon about a kid who summons a demon. It's supposed to be wacky. It isn't. (Fox, 9:30 p.m.)
Netflix picked up the truly incredibly bad 10,000 B.C., about two months ago, and it's worth pointing out that this is a movie where the heroes supposedly walk approximately 3,000 miles in a week and then befriend a sabre-toothed tiger, and then convince half a dozen tribes to band together to fight an anonymous ancient empire that was building pyramids 5,000 years before the Egyptians did and to do it by walking into the desert without a map.

The parking situation around Langney County Primary School is at breaking point.
With the school expanding this September, it's expected the problem will only get worse around school run time, with parents having nowhere to park.
One idea is to create a staff car park on part of an adjacent field, but other suggestions are being welcomed.
To try and find a solution to ease the congestion on the roads, a public meeting was held yesterday (9 August):

An old lonesome mirror stands there,
in the middle of an
abandoned room;
existing in a domain where
the silence sings of sorrow.
And staring inside through the transparent wall
I see a shadow brought to life,
the same shadow that follows me in the dark,
now fades into my reflection.
And as my finger tips touch the glass,
the silhouette moves away;
as if ashamed of
it's manifestation,
breathing in this realm.
Since then in every mirror I'd pass,
I would search and see my eyes;
none obscuring
the shallow depths,
that the old mirror refused
to reflect.
But after hence, that wicked dream,
My mind was cruelly wrecked,
it kept wandering into
that abandoned room
where the old mirror was kept.
Alas! by now the smidge of presence
had walked far away..
Weary, broken,
clothed in tatters,
the heart it fell on the ground,
mourning for a murky figurine-
that now dwelt in the
clutches of oblivion.
My psyche just taunted
the delicate fraction,
weak enough to bow to the loss,
and cower in despondency,
while it bathed in
the glamour..
All ends, and so did end
the flight of
grandeur and fame.
And the thoughts that once would soar
were banished from the heavens.
Theirs wings lost feathers,
as each was ruthlessly plucked out,
by the satirical winds.
And I savagely plummeted into a chamber
lit by flames of failure,
forming a deathly beautiful
chandelier, hanging overhead.
But all that the rays would illuminate,
was a lonesome mirror,
that was unable to
portray the lies of the personage,
who projected the image.
Then forth I walked
in the hidden lanes,
far away from the fabricated glam.
Collecting the pieces of past
that had faded away;
withering into a memory,
buried underneath the decaying photographs,
that painted a soul,
for the soulless.
While walking
through those haunted roads
I lost the fear of
broken tombs,
for my life was too a pyramid
of half-truths and
And I remain nothing but the rejected debris
of a dejected hurricane.
So stumbling through the
graveled paths,
that I had walked with
bleeding feet,
I fell, on the ground with
thirst and hunger,
for a love that I was denied,
or perhaps that I had
It was then that I heard
the silent whispers
of foot fall,
approaching me, with almost a
ghost like eloquence.
Jaded, I refused to look up,
and leave the arms of my dark numbness,
but my weary eyes were
curious so, and peered straight into the mirror
where the reflected silhouette
wordlessly stood,
a peaceful smile on it's lips,
as it slowly stepped
into the light.
It was only after I fell,
and bled and drowned in pain,
that the shadow in the mirror
revealed my face..

How to Find Your Hobby
Your passion is the reason you wake up in the morning, and just the thought of it can keep you up late with excitement. But not everyone knows exactly what his passion.
If you have been thinking about finding a hobby or creating some new craft, there are a couple of ways to find that passion and make it all seem effortless and fun.
Don't worry — whether you're looking for your passion to find a new career, or if you're looking in a new hobby or activity, there are a number of things you can do to find your passion.
Have you ever seen someone who is absolutely in love with his or her hobby and it seems to flow effortlessly to them? Well, don't think for a minute that no planning, thinking, or trial and error went into that hobby.
So start by taking some time to self-explore.
- Examine what you love
- Try different angles and ways to explore what you love
- Try new things
- Be courageous, think outside the box, go where your heart leads
Do What You Love
While this may sound like common sense, doing what you love will almost always equate to success and fulfillment. Success is not just simply defined by how much money you make; it is also defined by doing what you love to do and never tiring of it.
We all have things we want to do on the creative side; however, have you ever noticed that the creative souls are the ones with the most self-sabotaging talk and negativity surrounding their passion? Just look at the old adage about the "starving artist." However, it does not have to be that way.
Once you discover what you truly love and starting taking active steps toward pursuing that one thing, then the rest will fall into place that much easier.
Here are some of the things you should ask yourself when you brainstorm what you love to do:
- What are my goals?
- What do i do most of the time?
- What do I keep on trying to do?
- If I could do one thing for the rest of my life, what would it be?
- What do I love to do?
- What would I do, even if I didn't get paid
Find Your Passion
Once you have explored your creative side, journal how you feel when doing different types of crafts and hobbies. If you have always wanted to paint, but found it not as interesting as you thought it would be, don't worry. Keep going until you find that one thing that ignites you over and over again.
If at First You Don't Succeed
Once you find your passion and do what you love, don't stop there. Continue on this path even if you meet with failure. Many famous authors and artists met with failure many times over before they found what worked for them.
It is vitally important that you don't lose sight of your dream and that you don't let the absence of immediate success daunt you. It is almost impossible to succeed without having failed a couple of times at first.
Before you know it, you will hit the mark as so many others have before you.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- A federal judge in Houston hearing Merck's MRK, +0.11% first federal-level liability case over its recalled drug Vioxx has called a mistrial, according to reports early Monday. The Wall Street Journal had reported over the weekend that the plaintiff's attorneys in the case had asked for a mistrial, citing recent relevations that Merck had manipulated data on the drug's risks in a key study it published in the New England Journal of Medicine back in 2000. The plaintiffs in the case are survivors of a man who died of a sudden heart attack after taking Vioxx for about a month. Merck took Vioxx off the market in September 2004 after a study linked long-term use to an increased incidence of heart attack and stroke in some patients. Merck shares were down 1% at $28.79.

Belgium elected as non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council
Belgium was elected this Friday, 8th of June 2018, as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the period 2019-2020. Elected with 181 votes, Belgium received wide support among the 193 Member States of the UN General Assembly.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Didier Reynders welcomed the election results as an expression of the trust given to our country by the international community. The Minister warmly thanks all countries for their precious support. He also congratulates Germany, South Africa, the Dominican Republic, and Indonesia for their election.
Belgium is mindful of the responsibilities entrusted to it by the international community. Alongside the five permanent members and the nine other non-permanent members of the Security Council, Belgium is committed to working tirelessly towards maintaining peace and international security, in accordance with its values of peace, human rights and the principles of the United Nations Charter. Belgium is dedicated to fully carry out the tasks conferred upon it by the Security Council.
In fulfilling its mandate, Belgium will strive to be a constructive, reliable and open partner, inside the Council and for the international community as a whole. Reaching consensus on peace is possible only when it is based on partnership, exchange and inclusion, with all relevant actors. This spirit of dialogue, which underpinned our campaign, will continue to be the cornerstone of our action during our two-year mandate.
To achieve a lasting peace, it is essential to place conflict prevention at the heart of the Security Council's activities. The instrument of mediation must be better known and promoted. We will fully employ the capacities of our diplomacy to this end. Fostering peace is an interdisciplinary exercise and requires a global approach, prioritising political solutions and sustainable development. Specifically, the protection of civilians and the impact of conflict on children will be at the heart of Belgium's mandate, along with the role played by women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts. Respect for international humanitarian law and the fight against impunity, the fight against terrorism and violent extremism, non-proliferation and the prohibition of chemical weapons, and the impact of climate change on security will also feature among the issues of special concern for Belgium.
The campaign led by Belgium in the past years to promote its candidacy has convinced and has reminded the international community of the added value that our country can bring to the peaceful resolution of conflicts. In line with its engagements, Belgium will work toward "Fostering Consensus and Acting for Peace".

Following its sale of Hakvoort's Something Cool last week and its appointment as central agents for ISA Yacht's 66m Okto this week, Moran Yacht & Ship has also listed Overmarine's 49.9m Moonraker for an asking price of $24.5 million. She is currently located at Boca Raton in Florida.
Moonraker is the eighth hull in Overmarine's Mangusta 165 E series and was delivered as recently as 2014. The maxi-open features an entire GRP construction, a gross tonnage that is refined to 488GT, and a planing hull that only draws 1.65m and is designed for seamless performance over the surface of the water.
49.9m Moonraker
55.5 per cent of builds with planing hulls that exceed 49m are built by Overmarine and all of them are designed for thrill-seekers. Moonraker is able to reach a very high maximum speed of 40 knots and sustain a cruising speed of 34 knots. She is fitted with three inboard MTU 16V 4000 M93L engines (4,566hp) that are in like-new condition with only 410 hours on the clock.
The interior work for Moonraker was completed by Maxine Tisenbaum and Trevor Kruse (owner's reps) and features accommodation for up to 10 guests over four staterooms. The exterior lines are the work of the yard and Italian designer Stefano Righini. The design studio has now completed the exterior lines for 364 30m+ yachts, working very closely with yards such as Azimut, Benetti and Overmarine in the 30m – 50m production line segment.

VENICE, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A Venice woman who donated her bone marrow last year has connected with the young woman who received it. The two came face-to-face for the first time on Friday in an emotional reunion.
"Everything that I get to do now, from this point, is because of her, and I'm so grateful for that," said donor recipient Corinne Bass, holding back tears.
The 19-year-old was diagnosed with aplastic anemia, a bone marrow failure disorder.
"Your immune system is down and without that, you can't fight illness, so even just the typical cold that you might get could kill somebody with aplastic anemia," Bass explained.
Corinne's only hope was a bone marrow transplant, but being a minority, finding a match wasn't going to be easy.
Luckily, across the country in California, Kiana Howard had registered as a donor with Be The Match. She knew nothing about Bass but didn't hesitate to step forward.
"I just knew she was 17 at the time, she had aplastic anemia, and she needed my help," Howard said.
After a minor outpatient surgery, Howard donated her bone marrow, curing Bass' blood disorder.
"You'll never regret saving someone's life," Howard shared.
And now, thanks to Howard, Bass can live the life she had always hoped was possible.
"I get to go to college, I get to be a doctor, I get to get married, I get to have kids, I get to do everything that I want to do, and it's all because she made that selfless decision," Bass cried. "So, I'm super grateful for that, and I just hope she knows that."

It has been a long time coming, but has one of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. stars just confirmed that Marvel TV and ABC have already cancelled Marvel's Inhumans?
Following a lackluster IMAX launch and a slew of negative reviews, Inhumans was hardly the blockbuster television event that the Marvel bigwigs were surely hoping for. That being said, with the might of both ABC and the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe behind it, Inhumans had all the potential to get a lifeline and an elusive season 2. However, the odds of that happening are now looking slightly worse than they were before.
Related: Will Inhumans Season 2 Happen?
Speaking at Heroes and Villains Fan Fest San Jose, actress Ming-Na Wen was quizzed on a possible Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D./Inhumans crossover. Given that the whole idea of Inhumans was introduced in Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D., it would make perfect sense for the shows to have a Civil War-esque union. Answering the audience, it doesn't sound Wen doesn't sound so sure:
"I think that show got-"
The actress - who plays Melinda May - stopped before she could finish, but it looks pretty likely she was about to say "cancelled." Wen tried to cover her goof by saying, "Maybe I can't multitask," while laughing it off. Still, did she just confirm what everyone else already knew?
With the Inhumans season finale matching its series low with only 1.95 million viewers, it was always likely that ABC bosses were going to stick the show in the maybe pile. Remembering that Agent Carter wrapped with a significantly higher series average of 2.35 million - and it still didn't make season 3 - Inhumans was always living on borrowed time. In a world where Marvel can seemingly do no wrong, will Inhumans be the studio's biggest casualty to date?
Of course, even if ABC's show does go belly up, the idea of Inhumans could be reintroduced back into Agents, without the big pressure of carrying the premise on its own shoulders. Sure, audiences may not have been completely won over by Black Bolt and the rest of the royal family, but the idea was popular enough for Agents to launch the spin-off show. However, with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 picking up a mere century into the future, a crossover could pose a bit of a problem. While the Inhumans are confirmed to still exist in this bleak future, can the timelines every marry back up?
Also, would Wen really be privy to information as big as ABC cancelling Inhumans? Notice that she only says the word "think," so she could just be saying what everyone else is thinking. That being said, even if Inhumans does make it to a second season, it will need some serious tinkering to get it back on track. Every premiere season has its teething problems, but Inhumans faced more than most. While Wen may not think a crossover is likely, it could be the only way to keep the Inhumans alive in the MCU.

CALGARY - For Kerry Joseph, one bad quarter outweighed three positives.
Largely due to a strong performance by Joseph, the Saskatchewan Roughriders built up a 27-15 lead over the Calgary Stampeders through three quarters.
The Stamps (14-2) then responded with 25 straight points in the fourth quarter to win 40-27. It was the fifth straight loss for the Riders (9-8) and the second in a row with Joseph at quarterback.
"We just lost momentum," said Joseph, who completed 21-of-37 passes for 322 yards and two touchdowns. "The game is on me. Three interceptions, that's on me."
After Calgary took a 30-27 lead early in the fourth the Riders still had a chance to answer back, but Jamar Wall picked off an errant Joseph pass and ran it back 50 yards for a back-breaking touchdown.
"I've got to see the field better and I can't turn the ball over," said Joseph, who subsequently threw two more interceptions to Brandon Smith and another to Wall in the end zone late in the game. "They brought me in here to lift this team up. Two weeks in a row, I turned the ball over and let these guys down. It's just inexcusable."
Saskatchewan coach Corey Chamblin wouldn't go so far as pinning the loss on his veteran quarterback.
"Kerry's doing a phenomenal job," Chamblin said. "He's a little tough on himself. He threw some picks at the end. That was just part of where we were towards the end of the fourth quarter. I don't want to say we ran out of gas, but the Stampeders, they are a strong team.
"It showed where they are and where we are. I think we know just as a whole, we have a little bit more to go to be able to defeat a team like that."
Receiver Korey Williams, who had three catches for 55 yards, also refused to put all the blame on Joseph.
"It's never on one guy," Williams said. "We have to block, we have to catch the ball, he has to throw the ball. It's a whole bunch of things. You can never just say one guy messed up. We just have to continuously move forward and build off the opportunities that we have."
The Riders now have a bye-week before they host the Edmonton Eskimos in Regina on Nov. 8 for their final regular season game.
"We've got to try to stay positive," Joseph said. "We've still got a football game to play. We've got one more and then we've got the playoffs. It's not like we're out of the playoffs. We've got to find a way to win. I've got to find a way to be better."
Williams agreed that the Riders have to try to remain positive despite the fact they're in the midst of a five-game losing skid.
"We've been building positives for a while," he said. "It's just that we have to learn to win games when we have the opportunity to win them. It's as simple as that."
Despite the setback to the Stamps, Chamblin said he saw some positives that the Riders can build on heading into the post-season.
"This team is growing," Chamblin said. "We're young in some areas and I'm seeing guys grow through experience. We're going to have a chance. I think over the next couple of weeks this team will grow. At the right time, I think we'll be ready."

The Kaleidoscope Trio played some wonderful shows at the 2016 Brand Library Holiday Open House. They had an arrangement of pieces from the Nutcracker and also took requests of holiday tunes. Taking requests really works well for them and they have such a huge database of tunes that nobody could stump them! They got a standing ovation at the end, they are a lot of fun and they can make it work for just about any audience. They did four sets for us, two half an hour sets each night and each set was unique.

Have any questions left? Get the answer now!
What is the difference between personal loans and payday loans?
Payday loans are short-term loans that have high interest rates and are supposed to be paid off in a lump sum on your next payday. Personal loans are long-term and have lower interest rates. They are also known as installment loans that are supposed to be repaid at a fixed rate over a certain period of time in monthly payments.
How much can I borrow?
The loan limits vary by lender. In most cases the major factor that determines the amount of money you can qualify for is your income.
What are the requirements to apply for personal loans?
First, you must be at least 18 years old and a U.S. citizen. Second, you must have a reliable source of income to be able to repay a loan. Third, you must have an active bank account.
How long does it take to get a decision?
Typically, the decision is instant. After you submit a request, it takes up to a few minutes to connect you with a lender.
What can I use my personal loan for?
You are free to decide yourself what you need the money for. Among the most common uses are medical expenses, house renovations, car repairs, or big-ticket purchases.
Can I qualify with poor credit?
Yes! Your credit profile isn't the major factor that determines your approval.
How long does it take to get approved?
It depends on a lender. Typically, the process is fast.
How will I get my money?
Your money will be deposited directly into your bank account in as little as the next business day.
What if I miss the payment?
If you're tight for cash and aren't able to pay off your loan on the due date, contact your lender regarding a possible loan renewal.
What is a loan renewal?
In case you aren't able to pay off your loan in time, you can resort to a loan renewal. It means you pay a fee for the right to delay paying back the loan in full on its due date. The fee doesn't reduce the amount you owe. Note that not all lenders allow their clients to renew a loan.
Is your service free?
Yes! We do not charge any fees for using our online platform.

5 Low Odor Cannabis Strains For Stealthy Indoor Growing
Do you have nosy neighbors? Or do you just want to avoid any suspicion whatsoever that you are growing cannabis?
Whatever your reason is for requiring stealthy strains, we hear you. Growing your own medicine is rewarding, but it's all fun and games until your neighbors start to get up in your business. There are many ways you can disguise the odor of your grow, but it's always smart to start with the least dank strains for maximum discretion.
We've got your back. Check out these cannabis strains that are low odor but high in potency and therapeutic benefits!
- Durban Poison: Durban Poison is a pure sativa landrace strain hailing from South Africa. Generally described as strong and potent, Durban Poison provides an upbeat, energetic high perfect for daytime use recreationally or medicinally. Growing Durban Poison is a top choice among stealth growers because it produces almost no smell. Additionally, Durban Poison has gained the reputation of being extremely resilient to all kinds of weather whether warm or cold. However, once cured, its aroma can be described as similar to that of anise – delicious! Durban Poison is used to treat pain, stress, depression, fatigue, and headaches. As a bonus, Durban Poison also makes for a terrific parent to other plants.
- Jack Herer: Named after a famous cannabis activist and the author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, Jack Herer is a popular strain that is well-known for the cerebral invigoration it offers combined with blissful feelings and a clear-headed high. It's no wonder that Jack Herer is a favorite among creative types. Growing Jack Herer indoors means waiting around 50 to 70 days for it to flower, but this low-odor strain is extremely rewarding to cultivate on your own. Jack Herer is also ideal for hydroponic growing, although it's known to be bushy so ensure that your plants have enough spacing. It has important medicinal benefits, too: patients use Jack Herer to fight fatigue and depression. It's also beneficial for treating stress, lack of appetite, and pain.
- Kali Mist: Another uplifting sativa, Kali Mist has potent energizing properties that may even do a better job of waking you up than coffee. Kali Mist has distinct, powerful psychoactive effects which offer a soft high, allowing you to experience euphoria but still being productive. It does well when grown indoors, especially if you give her space and use the proper equipment. Kali Mist is widely used for the treatment of anxiety, fatigue, pain, and depression. Indoor growers will love the fact that Kali Mist has a low odor, but she grows really well indoors even if she takes a long time to flower.
- White Rhino: White Rhino is the result of breeding the famous White Widow with an unknown American strain. Despite its mysterious genetics, White Rhino is one of the best indica strains out there, plus it grows best indoors especially in a well-controlled environment with consistent day and night temperatures. It contains very high THC levels that deliver a strong happy yet relaxed high, felt from head down to your toes. White Rhino does a good job at knocking you out, making it suitable for evening or bedtime medication. White Rhino is commonly used to treat pain and inflammation, as well as a lack of appetite (beware of the munchies!), stress, pain, and depression.
- Northern Lights: One of the most popular strains worldwide on this list, Northern Lights is a strain you can't go wrong growing and using. Northern Lights is a classic indica that does so well indoors because, well, it was bred to thrive indoors. Northern Lights doesn't just have a low odor, it's also a hardy and resilient strain, and one that flowers quickly. Northern Lights won't disappoint you – with THC levels reaching from 16 to 26% on average, this strain packs a punch. After curing, her buds have a delightful piney aroma with a hint of citrus that makes it a pleasure to medicate with. Aside from that, Northern Lights is a favorite among users worldwide for the relaxing body high it gives. It's a fast-acting painkiller and sedative, and has been used to treat insomnia, pain, anxiety, depression, stress, and muscle spasms.

The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "Acts of kindness and virtue save a man from the adverse consequences of his wicked deeds. The charity that is given discreetly cools down Allah's anger and kindness to relatives increases a man's age." [Tibraani]
When we throw a ball against a wall it comes back at us, because every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So also we should be aware that all our evil deeds will come back and hurt us. But while we are helpless against having a ball bounce back, we can prevent the fallout of our bad actions from hitting us. Continue reading "Virtue Saves from Consequence of Wickedness"

CHICAGO (CBS) — The founder of a YouTube website that features Chicago musical talent was shot to death as he drove along a downtown street.
Authorities say 30-year-old Zack Stoner was shot in the head and neck early Wednesday by bullets fired from another car in Chicago's Printer's Row neighborhood.
Police say around 1 a.m., a gunman in another car pulled up alongside Stoner's vehicle near Clark and Polk Streets and fired multiple shots.
Stoner was hit at least once in the head, then lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a pole.
A witness several stories above the incident posted a twitter video moments before the crash, which appears to show a group of people at the scene getting into another vehicle then driving off before police arrive.
He was pronounced dead three hours later at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
Chicago police say no one is in custody.
Stoner was known for interviewing young Chicago rappers and posting them on his YouTube channel, zacktv1. The site lists 176,146 subscribers.
Stone described himself on his twitter account as the "best interviewer in the world," who took his faith in God and his camera in "some of the most dangerous hoods in America."
According to authorities, Stoner left a rap concert just before he was shot.

Martin E. Segal founded The Segal Group, then known as the Martin E. Segal Company, in October 1939, in New York City. His sister, Esther, was the company's first employee, serving as telephone operator, secretary and bookkeeper. In the decades since then, that two-person staff located in a one-room office at 347 Fifth Avenue (opposite the Empire State Building) has grown to become one of the nation's leading firms of benefits, compensation and human resources consultants.
From the beginning, The Segal Group has been dedicated to the development of all aspects of employee benefits. This dedication resulted in innovations in every area of the employee benefits field. Many widely accepted benefit practices were first conceived, designed and introduced by The Segal Group.
In July 1967, the company was sold to what was then known as Wertheim and Company, an investment banking firm. In 1978, a group of Segal employees and consultants purchased Segal from Wertheim and Company. Employees are now the sole stockholders, and ownership of the company is vested in those who are actively leading it. Mr. Segal served as Chairman of Segal's Board of Directors until 1991 when he was named Founder and Chairman Emeritus and the company changed its name to The Segal Company.
In 1969, investment consulting affiliate Segal Advisors was founded and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission to offer independent investment consulting services. In 2012, Segal Advisors acquired Rogerscasey, a global investment solutions firm, and named the combined entity, Segal Rogerscasey. In 2013, Segal Rogerscasey became a founding member of the Global Investment Research Alliance. In 2017, the firm acquired the Marco Consulting Group, a top investment consultancy. The combined entity, Segal Marco Advisors, is a leading global investment consulting firm providing innovative, client-driven advice and discretionary services.
In 2001, The Segal Group acquired Marjorie Gross and Company, an award-winning firm specializing in communicating benefits and compensation information as well as building strategies for effective employee communications.
In 2002, The Segal Group acquired Sibson Consulting, a human resources and compensation consulting firm founded in 1959. Sibson provides strategic human resources solutions related to the planning, implementation and operation of total rewards, compensation, retirement and health benefit programs. Sibson's services encompass talent management, benefits, organization design, sales effectiveness, change management and HR technology.
In 2006, The Segal Group acquired Irwin Tepper Associates, Inc., a consulting firm that specialized in asset-liability analysis for employee benefit programs and other organizations.
In 2013, The Segal Group's Fiduciary Liability Insurance Practice was incorporated as the insurance brokerage subsidiary of The Segal Group, Inc. and named Segal Select Insurance Services, Inc. Segal Select works with plan sponsors and Boards of Trustees to obtain a full range of fiduciary insurance and fidelity bond coverage as well as employment practices liability insurance and cyber liability coverage.
In 2014, Segal acquired the Human Resources Consulting Division of Waters Consulting and combined it with Segal's Public Sector Compensation and Bargaining Practice. The combined entity, now known as Segal Waters Consulting, provides compensation and human resources consulting solutions to public sector entities. Also in 2014, The Segal Group acquired a portion of the business of Moroni Fantin, an employee benefits consulting firm (which has now ceased operations) specializing in working with Michigan and national, mid-market, self-insured health plans, as well as Excelcor, a partnership focused on providing human capital consulting to corporations, colleges and universities, and hospitals and medical centers.
In 2017, the firm acquired Marco Consulting Group to expand our investment consulting services, and Segal Rogerscasey (the SEC-registered investment consulting member of The Segal Group) was renamed Segal Marco Advisors. The firm is a leading global investment solutions firm that provides innovative, client-driven consulting advice and discretionary solutions. It has been in operation for 50 years and is one of the largest U.S.-based investment consultants.
In 2018, the firm acquired Touchstone Consulting Group, based in Worcester, MA, which provides retirement, health and welfare, actuarial and related employee benefit consulting services, and has become part of Sibson Consulting. Also in 2018, the firm acquired The Singer Group, a human resources and organizational development consulting firm based in the Baltimore area. Founded in 1983, The Singer Group provides compensation consulting, organizational design and development, performance management, workflow design and other human resources-related consulting services, for public and higher education library systems and not-for-profit organizations. It is now part of Segal Waters Consulting.
In 2019, the firm acquired Benz Communications, an award-winning, industry-leading HR and employee benefits communications consulting firm. Founded in 2006, Benz Communications has been among the largest women-owned firms in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2012 and a five-time honoree on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing, privately held companies. The new name of our combined Communications practice is Segal Benz.
Segal Consulting, Sibson Consulting, Segal Marco Advisors and Segal Select Insurance are all members of The Segal Group. While company names and logos have evolved over the firm's 80-year history, members of The Segal Group remain independent, employee-owned firms that provide unbiased consulting.
The Segal Group is a founding member of the Multinational Group of Actuaries and Consultants (MGAC), whose member companies across the world meet clients' needs for assistance in international benefits planning.

For Memorial Day this year, we decided to take a trip to relax in Hot Springs, AR. This was a great idea, so Lisa, James, Evan, and I packed up and headed out there Saturday morning. We found several caches on the way there, our favorite being one INDOORS. Took us a while to even think to look there - was different from what we were used to, and we appreciated it.
After settling in and relaxing that night with a boat tour of the lake, we got a good night's rest and set out Sunday morning with no particular aim in mind other than exploring the area. This of course meant driving in the mountains and finding geocaches. We ended up seeing some great sites, including the impressive gallery of a rock shop in the area (the quartz is quite amazing). We also found some rather large puddles of water as a result of the recent heavy rains, a couple of which forced us to turn around (we are in a CRV, but an old and grumpy one).
We visited the science museum and spent a lot of time there - very nice place, especially if you had kids to bring. Grabbed a cache placed outside of it, but wish we hadn't, as three of the four of us discovered ticks over the course of the next day.
We headed back to town and walked around the main drag (and, of course, cached along the way). I've been caching in a downtown environment before (Ft. Worth, TX), but this was a quite different experience. These caches are quite out in the open (to us, at least), but they've been there forever untampered by muggles. Quite impressive.
We also picked up a few things on the way back to Dallas, but more than anything, I got ant bites...
Some of my favorite caches from this trip:
Rock Hounds (owners are nice and helpful if you need it)
Upon The Arrival (great story)
Travel Bug Outhouse
GOOGLING HRPTY HRRS (neat carving on site)

Camden Cats ready to pounce in Premier Division debut
The Camden Cats are set to make their AFL Sydney Men's Premier Division debut this Saturday afternoon against Western Suburbs.
Elevated to the highest division of the competition post the 2017 season, the Cats' overall performance – on and off the field – see them in this position to take on the best teams in Sydney.
Camden Club President, Joshua Leys says he is looking forward to seeing his club perform at the highest local level.
"As a club it means that all the effort – 10 plus years since the re-entry to AFL Sydney – both on and off the field has finally paid off," says Leys.
"We realise as a club that the hard work is only just beginning though, and we have our heads down to ensure the longevity of such a move.
"For the local area this is huge. This Saturday we will be joined by our local MP Chris Patterson, Mayor Lara Symkowiak, Council General Manager Ron Moore, and delegates from AFL Sydney for what is going to be a huge day."
The Cats will be led in 2018 by club stalwart, Josiah Ayling, who takes on the role of Captain for the eighth year running. Ayling is the club's most decorated player having won Camden's First Grade Best and Fairest Medal four times – including 2017 – and their Second Grade Medal twice. Ayling will be ably supported by two Vice-Captains in Mark Maher and Nathan Kenny.
Leys implores football fans to look out for multiple players who will make their mark in 2018.
"Impact players will be everywhere this Saturday at the Cattery, with plenty of young guns including Bailey McParland, Jordan Ware and Matthew Edwards in the team.
"Keep an eye out for the Cats' seasoned veterans though including, but not limited to, Shane Doherty, Fraser Brown and Blake Pearce.
"South Coast and Temora boy, Daniel Leary will play his first game of Premier Division football, with Aidan Bell looking for plenty of air time to give Collingwood's Jeremy Howe a run for his money in 2018.
"After a tough week off the track for the Cats Captain, Josiah Ayling will have the boys up and about, ready to play for their first ever win of Premier Division football at the Cattery."
The Camden Cats take on Western Suburbs in the Men's Premier Division this Saturday afternoon at Fairfax Reserve, with the bounce at 4.30pm.

Meet Alison Olt Kerr N.D., RYT500
Alison first arrived on her mat 30 years ago, began teaching in 2014, and remains in awe of the healing power of this practice. She honors both the science and spirit of yoga, leads with curiosity, and endeavors to help students rediscover their personal agency and rhythm. Outside of class, you'll find Alison walking her talk and in the woods - usually with her people and funny pup in tow.
Meet Casey Hubbell, E-RYT 200
My yoga path began in 2000 in a college-town in North Texas. Initially I was drawn to the physical challenge. The strange shapes and newfound strength in my body was exhilarating. Over time, the appeal of my yoga practice shifted. I'm drawn to the silence and stillness when feeling overwhelmed. I feel creative and energized after a challenging flow. I am connected and find community when traveling or moving some place new. There are so many styles of yoga. So many shapes and ways to practice. As a student, I love learning how to study and care for my self (body and mind) which allows me to care for those around me and beyond.
In 2012, I completed a 200-hr Anusara TT with Silvia Mordini's Alchemy of Yoga and a 200-hr Power Yoga TT with CorePower Yoga. The former embraced creativity, flow, and the healing and transformative powers of yoga while the latter offered structure, form and technique. In my classes I blend these styles. I teach heart-centric, intentional flows using clear cues and offering many ways to personalize. I also completed Next Generation Yoga's kids training so a little silliness and play can be expected as well.

Koflo Chemical Injection Quills are used to introduce medium to highly corrosive chemicals into a pipeline without damage to the side port or pipe wall at the point of injection. Chemical injection quills ensure that chemicals are evenly dispersed into the center of the pipeline, which prevents channeling of the chemical down the pipe wall. The body and stinger are both constructed of chemical resistant plastics or alloys (PVC, Kynar, 316 SS, or Hastelloy C-276). Injection quills with 3" and 5" long stingers are available from stock. All injection quills come with 1/2" FNPT x MNPT connections for ease of installation.

Just-in-Time Production and Total Quality Management
In today's competitive world shorter product life cycles, customers rapid demands and quickly changing business environment is putting lot of pressures on manufacturers for quicker response and shorter cycle times. Now the manufacturers put pressures on their suppliers. One way to ensure quick turnaround is by holding inventory, but inventory costs can easily become prohibitive. A wiser approach is to make your production agile, able to adapt to changing customer demands. This can only be done by JUST IN TIME (JIT) philosophy. JIT is both a philosophy and collection of management methods and techniques used to eliminate waste (particularly inventory). Waste results from any activity that adds cost without adding value, such as moving and storing. Just-in-time (JIT) is a management philosophy that strives to eliminate sources of such manufacturing waste by producing the right part in the right place at the right time.
JIT (also known as lean production or stockless production) should improve profits and return on investment by reducing inventory levels (increasing the inventory turnover rate), reducing variability, improving product quality, reducing production and delivery lead times, and reducing other costs (such as those associated with machine setup and equipment breakdown). The basic elements of JIT manufacturing are people involvement, plants, and system. People involvement deal with maintaining a good support and agreement with the people involved in the production. This is not only to reduce the time and effort of implementation of JIT, but also to minimize the chance of creating implementation problems. The plant itself also has certain requirements that are needed to implement the JIT, and those are plant layout, demand pull production, Kanban, self-inspection, and continuous improvement. The plant layout mainly focuses on maximizing working flexibility. It requires the use of multi-function workers". Demand pull production is where you produce when the order is received. This allows for better management of quantity and time more appropriately. Kanban is a Japanese term for card or tag. This is where special inventory and process information are written on the card. This helps in tying and linking the process more efficiently. Self-inspection is where the workers on the line inspect products as they move along, this helps in catching mistakes immediately. Lastly continuous improvement which is the most important concept of the JIT system. This simply asks the organization to improve its productivity, service, operation, and customer service in an on-going basis.
In a JIT system, underutilized (excess) capacity is used instead of buffer inventories to hedge against problems that may arise. The target of JIT is to speed up customer response while minimizing inventories at the same time. Inventories help to response quickly to changing customer demands, but inevitably cost money and increase the needed working capital. JIT requires precision, as the right parts must arrive "just-in-time" at the right position (work station at the assembly line). It is used primarily for high-vPolume repetitive flow manufacturing processes.
The technique was first used by the Ford Motor Company as described explicitly by Henry Ford's My Life and Work (1922): "We have found in buying materials that it is not worth while to buy for other than immediate needs." They bought only enough to fit into the plan of production, taking into consideration the state of transportation at the time. If transportation were perfect and an even flow of materials could be assured, it would not be necessary to carry any stock whatsoever. The carloads of raw materials would arrive on schedule and in the planned order and amounts, and go from the railway cars into production. That would save a great deal of money, for it would give a very rapid...

Thank You to Donna Miller and Jason Peist for this beautiful shot of the 9-11 Memorial and the One WTC Freedom Tower from your visit on November 12th.
On Tuesday, November 15th the New Jersey Chapter of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) hosted their 2011 Holiday Social, "Soup and Cider by the Fire", at Avila Fine Arts in Bedminster, NJ. Attendees sipped on hot soup and cider around an outdoor bonfire as planning for the 2012 year commenced. The event was well attended by nearly 40 designers, architects and representatives. The NJ IIDA has taken an exciting new direction with the help of newly appointed directors Scott Marchio of The Aztec Corporation (left) and Erin Jimenez of Cornerstone Architectural Group (right). The pair is working hard to breathe new life into the organization, with much success. Keep your eyes open for more great events hosted by the NJ IIDA.
Please click on the following link to read our Spring 2011 Newsletter
At the 2011 Forks Township Pennsylvania's Planning Commission reorganizational meeting, Cornerstone's very own Vito Tamborrino, Jr., AIA was unanimously voted and named Chairman of the Commission. Vito had been the acting Chairman for the past 5 months, as well as previously having been the Chairman from 2003–2006. He has been an active member of the Commission since 1997 and has been involved in two major Zoning Ordinance revisions, two Comprehensive Plans, the development of the new Township municipal building complex, a Township wide recreational path web that connects all major areas of the Township, and the development of one of the area's first Solar Ordinances. He is currently working with the Commission and the Township on its third Zoning Ordinance revision, as well as the planning of a new 50 acre park. CAG is very proud of our team's efforts to improve our communities and make them more "livable". Good Luck Vito!
January 2011 ushered in a new year for all of us, and it also marked the "beginning of a new era" for the Fanwood – Scotch Plains YMCA with completion of its latest phase of construction and finalization of their master plan that was promised to the communities of Scotch Plains and Fanwood, and the Y's members 5 years ago. Completion of this portion of their facility plan added a new 2 story building to the existing complex. It contains a second natatorium with a 6 lane / 25 yard competition pool, a state of the art child care facility, Y program classrooms, administrative offices, and basement storage spaces. Previous phases created a new 2 level wellness center, and doubled the Y's parking capacity. The very last piece of the plan, the renovation of the Y's original 1970's first natatorium, is now underway. Completion of this last portion will unify the look of the Y throughout their entire complex. Cornerstone Architectural Group is very proud to be associated with these projects and wishes the F-SP Y and all its members many fruitful years in their "new" facility. Cornerstone truly believes in the YMCA's Mission 'For Youth Development, For Healthy Living and For Social Responsibility'.
Cornerstone Architectural Group, LLC is proud to announce that Erin B. Jimenez, Assoc. AIA has been newly named as Co-Director of the International Interior Design Association's (IIDA) New Jersey City Center, a Pennsylvania / New Jersey / Delaware Chapter. The mission of the chapter is; "To enhance the quality of life through excellence in interior design, and to advance interior design through knowledge, value and community". The IIDA promotes the interaction between Architects, Interior Designers and industry representatives. The association offers a forum that promotes and encourages continuing education for the profession through educational lectures and events, as well as providing it's members with exposure to a large network of professionals and resources. Erin is very excited for this opportunity and very much looks forward to the responsibility. The firm encourages and supports Erin in her efforts, and wishes her Good Luck in her tenure as Co-Director!
Cornerstone has provided design assistance to aid the noble humanitarian efforts of ForThisOne.org to build composting toilets in earthquake ridden Haiti. Construction of the first composting toilet project in the Jubilee Blanc neighborhood of Gonaïves, Haiti is about half-way done. Working with a Haitian construction crew, they now have the foundation and barrel enclosure finished. Next up, the concrete floor of the stalls, toilet bowls, and privacy enclosures need to be completed. The village of Jubilee has no real sanitation facilities left to speak of. There are a few private outhouses in this village, but nothing that is public and accessible to all who live there. There is no running water or sewage system in any of the modest houses and huts that comprise the village, so people have to go far out into the fields. The problem with this is that many of the villagers, including very malnourished children, go shoeless in this same area. Parasites such as hookworms enter the body through the soles of the feet and can rob an already malnourished child of 20% of his nutrients. The idea behind the dry toilets project is to make their living areas more sanitary and improve the health of the whole community. Working with local construction crews gives the opportunity to pass the toilet design and goals of the project onto local people who can then replicate it as needed. Cornerstone is proud to have been a part of this incredible effort. See the recent article in the Brunswick Sentinel.
The 2010 General Assembly took place July 8-11, 2010, at the Salt Palace Convention Center in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah. More than 3,000 staff members and community volunteers from YMCAs across the nation gathered at the once-every-three-years meeting to focus on the work being done at 2,687 YMCA facilities nationwide to help children develop in healthy environments and to strengthen families. Mike Soriano represented Cornerstone and participated on behalf of the firm as member of the YMCA of the USA's Partner Provider Network to offer comprehensive architectural design services to YMCAs. This dynamic network expands resources available to YMCAs while ensuring use of new insights consistent with YMCA values and practices. Cornerstone draws from a wealth of knowledge and experience to offer YMCAs exceptional guidance in developing and managing YMCA properties. The firm will partner with Y Associations to ensure that their facilities support program needs, and that services inspire a positive member experience. CAG assists Y's from "start to finish" to identify areas of significant savings in construction and operational costs while achieving design excellence. Cornerstone will continue focus on the Y's missions "For Youth Development, For Healthy Living and For Social Responsibility".
We have chosen not to reveal our design until the day of the competition, but our computer model and our shopping list are complete. Our design is in keeping with the theme of Newark NJ, and was influenced by the fact that the competition is on Veterans Day.
Campbells Soup – 1,050
We are asking our friends and business partners to make a donation to help defer the cost of the canned food items. Donations can be cash, check (payable to Cornerstone Architectural Group) or grocery store gift cards. If you would like to donate food items, please contact us first as we need specific brands and types of cans in order to complete our design. Any food or money collected in excess of what is needed for our sculpture will be donated directly to the food bank.
Construction on the core and shell for the new three story; 50,000 square foot office building for CityWorks, Inc. is complete. The building, located on West Lake Avenue in Neptune, NJ is the first phase of a multi-block, mixed use redevelopment that will include affordable housing and retail space. Construction on two major tenant spaces in the building will also be completed shortly. Cornerstone is currently working with Jersey Shore University Medical Center on the design of a 30,000 square foot Family Health Center that will occupy two floors in the building. The firm is also working with the New Jersey Division of Taxation, designing a 15,000 square foot space on the third floor of the building.

Hanes HallbirnSaturday,19 January 2013
The Snap:
Hi Everyone! I'm sending this note to you from the year 2113! Don't worry so much about how I'm pulling it off, but suffice it to say that it's similar in concept to what Robert Zemeckis depicted in Back To The Future (the actual mechanics are too complicated for your un-bioengineered brains to compute — you all were so primitive back then — but you get the gist). Anyway, it turns out that Ray Kurtzweil's vision of building "computers that mimic the architecture of the human mind and eventually to construct machines that surpass our mortal limits" proved correct! So here I am, in the year 2113, a reconstructed version of Hanes' brain in computer form, sending this note back to clarify a thing of two for humanity.
The Download:
Let me get the bad news out the way: I have no stock tips for you (well, at least no specific ones… but I do have a hint at the end of this article). We all abide by a strict code of ethics in the future that precludes us from sharing information about stock prices. But I do have some useful information for you, so listen up.
And here it is: We're all laughing our asses off when we read through the history of how you guys persecuted star athletes for taking Performance-enhancing Drugs (PEDs). LOLZ all around! These days, PEDs are as much of part of the average American diet as pizza was back in 2013. We all take them — not just athletes! Engineers take them. Teachers take them. Police officers take them. Bankers take them (actually, we don't have bankers anymore, but I'm trying to use examples that make sense to you). We even give our kids daily doses of PEDs, so they not only grow up big and strong, but also have increased levels of endurance.
So seriously, everyone, take a collective chill pill and ease up on your witch hunts of athletes for their PED use. I mean, I guess I can see going after Lance Armstrong and Barry Bonds for lying (which, by the way, is a foreign concept to us these days, because the smart chips that humans have embedded into their bodies stream their entire existence in real-time). But in 2113, we admire Armstrong and Bonds as misunderstood pioneers of the PED movement.
Stop and think for a moment. PEDs make people perform better and decrease the recovery time from stressful physical activity. These are good things! Now granted, the PEDs used back in 2013 and earlier were primitive versions that had some undesirable side effects (testicle shrinkage — ouch!), but we've ironed out those inconveniences in the future. And now, PEDs are one part of a multi-pronged strategy to improve humanity's health, which includes stem cell re-use, electronic implants for real-time medical analysis, genetically-modified food, and advanced forms of custom bioengineering (thanks 23andMe!).
Hopefully these insights about life in the future provide some perspective on the "crimes" that the PED trailblazers of your time have committed. The whole idea that Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and others somehow "cheated" by taking PEDs is comical by 2113 standards. We're all laughing long and hard at your moral outrage and prudish behavior.
Now that I've cleared that up, here is a bit more about the future. Self-driving cars are awesome! Society has stopped pressuring young girls into starving themselves into waifs, and all the women are normal-sized now (thank God). Oh, and that tip that I promised earlier? Here you go: Google won.
