Jeffrey Gurock Weighs in on the Dilemma Jewish Baseball Players Face on Yom Kippur
Around this time of year, many Jews think about three things: Yom Kippur, the Major League Baseball playoffs and whether or not Yom Kippur will force their favorite players to sit out a game of those playoffs.
Thirteen Jews populate MLB rosters today, with Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun, Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Sam Fuld and Texas Rangers pitcher Scott Feldman on rosters that qualified for the postseason.
Yet, in a golden age of Jewish baseball, gone are the times of Hall of Famers Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax, or even more recently Shawn Green—when the decision to play or sit out on the holiest day of the Jewish year fell under a national microscope. Braun's 2011 numbers (.332 batting average, 33 home runs and 111 runs batted in) make him a leading Most Valuable Player candidate, but his potential Yom Kippur dilemma has received no attention.
Prof. Jeffrey Gurock, a Jewish History professor at Yeshiva University who has written extensively on the topic of baseball and the High Holy Days, says that's an indication of how Jews are now "extraordinarily accepted in America." The same couldn't be said in 1934, when Greenberg was pressured to play on Yom Kippur because the public thought "he had a civic obligation to play for Detroit against the Yankees"—in a highly anti-semitic environment with Henry Ford and the Ku Klux Klan nearby, Gurock said.
Greenberg played Rosh Hashanah but sat out Yom Kippur. While his ordeal depicted "an intolerant America through the metaphor of sports," Koufax opted not to pitch Game 1 of the 1965 World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers with the backdrop of a more forgiving nation, Gurock said. The team's decision to pitch fellow Hall of Famer Don Drysdale instead, he said, indicated an era of growing cultural pluralism.
Now, the lack of attention surrounding Jewish baseball on Yom Kippur "reflects the high degree of Jewish acceptance in America," Gurock said, as players face no pressure.
"They just do what they want to do with no concern about how it plays on the gentile street," Gurock said.
However, what has become a "totally internal Jewish issue" saw recent exceptions in 2009, Gurock noted, when a New York Jets-Tennessee Titans football game slated for 4:15 p.m. conflicted with the eve of Yom Kippur and was rescheduled for 1 p.m. after complaints by New York-area Jews. On the same Yom Kippur, a Yankees-Red Sox game with an initial 8 p.m. start time on the ESPN network was also moved to 1 p.m.
At the time, Gurock wrote a post on YU's website criticizing ESPN—and the game time was changed a mere two hours later.
"I'm sure ESPN didn't see [my post], but I walked around yeshiva the entire day taking high fives from guys," Gurock said.
This article was written by Jacob Kamaras and first appeared on JointMedia News Service. Dr. Jeffrey S. Gurock is the Libby M. Klaperman Professor of Jewish History at Yeshiva University and author of Judaism's Encounter with American Sports (Indiana University Press, 2005).

As a voluntary membership services organization, NAES does not accredit schools, nor does it establish or have statutory oversight of the academic and religious programs or governance of any Episcopal school. This is a list of accrediting agencies and links to them.
The Episcopal Identity and Culture Self-Study is an instrument for reflection on those outward and tangible expressions that make a school truly Episcopal in identity and character. It invites schools into an important process of looking at those areas central to its mission that may not routinely be subjects of evaluation and reflection, or may not be sufficiently addressed in standard accreditation processes. It is not a certification or accreditation of Episcopal identity, nor is its completion a requirement for NAES membership.
This article by Ann Mellow offers a basic overview of accreditation along with six simple ways to strengthen the accreditation process in an Episcopal school.
When it comes to Episcopal schools, it is easy for language to become muddied and misunderstood. Because of the variety of governance structures within Episcopal schools, the word "independent" can mean different things to different people.
Members may log in and view the prayers for the current year's Cycle of Prayer for Episcopal Schools. Included are the dates, titles, and texts of the weekly prayers, arranged in chronological order.
Approved by the NAES Governing Board in April 2011, this document highlights the crucial components of a comprehensive, meaningful, and age-appropriate approach to worship and chapel in Episcopal schools as reflected in the Association's diverse membership. NAES urges all schools to use them as part of the context in which they formulate and assess this most crucial expression of their Episcopal identity.
A compilation of chaplains' job descriptions from a variety of Episcopal school settings and grade ranges.
The ministry of a school chaplain, in Episcopal schools, is both a time-honored one, as well as one that currently exists amidst a great deal of change. Given the increasingly fluid and complex religious landscape of our culture, chaplains now minister in a school community that is increasingly diverse: in most schools a variety of religions are represented as well as an increasing numbers of students, parents, and faculty who come to the school with no experience with any religious tradition. Adopted by the NAES Governing Board in 2016, this document offers these principles of good practice to highlight the potential for school chaplaincy, as well as to serve as a resource for a school in a variety of ways.
The Rev. Daniel R. Heischman, D.D., on the chaplain's role in bringing together church and school on both the institutional and personal levels.
The Rev. Daniel R. Heischman, D.D., sets out three crucial roles of the Episcopal school chaplain: teaching, counseling/conversation, and pastoral care in times of crisis.

By weaving the principles of equity and justice into the very fabric of the school's overall life, Episcopal schools ensure that their missions are built on the sure foundation of a Christian love that guides and challenges all who attend our schools to build lives of genuine meaning, purpose and service. Adopted by the NAES Governing Board in 2013, this document outlines ideals to which Episcopal schools aspire. It is intended to assist Episcopal schools of all sizes and constellations in their efforts to develop meaningful programs, policies, and curricula, and serves as a useful tool for the ongoing assessment of this work.
There is a natural tendency for schools to claim their Episcopal identity primarily if not solely in terms of its most visible symbols. At the same time, there are less visible but equally powerful cultural norms at the heart of each school's Episcopal identity that often remain unspoken and unclaimed.
Today, "2.0" is used throughout the education world to signal a transformational reinvention of schooling. Similarly, Episcopal schools are exploring how best to live out their core values in the context of a changing social and religious landscape.
Each Episcopal school has its own culture and way of being. But amid their great variety, Episcopal schools share common characteristics and a set of core assumptions about human formation.
NAES' initial effort to assist our schools in undertaking careful and compassionate responses to both the challenge and the opportunity of welcoming transgender people in Episcopal schools. Offers a short list of steps schools should consider as they thoughtfully respond to transgender people in a manner that reflects the best of what it means to be an Episcopal school.

Registering a Death
Whatever funeral option you choose, no funeral can go ahead until The Registrar of Births and Deaths has issued an Order for Burial or Cremation.
This is a green certificate, commonly referred to as the 'green form' and will be required in order to make the funeral arrangements.
In England and Wales most deaths will need to be registered within 5 days, and it is better, where possible to go to the registrar office in the borough that the deceased lived or it could delay your funeral arrangements.
Who can register a death?
Most deaths are registered by a relative, as the registrar will normally only accept someone else registering the death if there are no relatives available.
If the death occurred in a house or hospital, it can be registered by:
• a relative
• someone present at the death
• an occupant of the house
• an official from the hospital
• the person making the arrangements with the funeral directors
Deaths that occurred anywhere else can be registered by:
• a relative
• someone present at the death
• the person who found the body
• the person in charge of the body
• the person making the arrangements with the funeral directors
Death occurring in a hospital or a care home
The person who has died will need to be formally identified by the person named by them as the next of kin. The hospital mortuary will normally take care of the deceased until arrangements are made for collection.

The point of this month was to not break the bank but to introduce you to new ideas for dating. It's not about dinner and a movie. It's about spending quality time with people or a person you care about and having fun doing it. It's about looking outside the box and exploring new ideas even doing something that you usually do but making it a little funnier. Making it funnier by doing it together, a little bit different or even sharing the experience with someone at all. A couple of the ideas shared this week you could have even done by yourself. Although no one wants to be alone sometimes alone time is nice too. Time to read a book, take a bath or paint your nails.
Today was about sharing the work load. Sharing the workload can pass the time quicker. Two can complete a job a whole lot faster than one. Two can also have fun side by side. One of you can rake leaves while the other jumps in it. Not just meaning adults; you as the adult as the parent can rake leaves and take turns with the kids as well. This is no different than laying down in the snow and making a snow angel in the winter or making a sandcastle at the beach. I notice how much fun I have sometimes when I do things now that I did do as a child.
Date 6 is sharing the chores. At my house weekly chores are usually done on Saturday. However if you have a different chore day or want to make it fun and spice it up another day take the day you take out the recyclables or wash the dishes after dinner. I'm sure if you and your spouse did the dishes that would make the best date for the kids with a night off. Maybe you guys could fold the laundry together. While your in there play a trick on the kids and switch their clothes out. Nothing wrong with a little entertainment.
Have fun everyone. Tomorrow will start the week to date your spouse or significant other. As always feel free to share your comments or pictures in the comments.

Yesterday, the Development Committee voted for strong action on minerals sourced from conflict areas, which fuel some of the world's most brutal conflicts and underwrites child labour, sexual violence and modern slavery.
Minerals such as tantalum, tungsten and tin – widely used in a range of electrical goods like mobile phones and laptops here in the UK – are funding violent armed groups who carry out serious human rights abuses.
This vote sent a powerful and progressive signal to the Trade Committee and the European Commission, whose proposals to set up a voluntary scheme for smelters to certify where minerals came from, did not go far enough.
As Shadow Rapporteur for the S&D on the Commission's proposals, I put forward a range of ambitious amendments to Commission's proposals last month, and I was delighted that these were secured yesterday. The proposals adopted included:
– A commitment to mandatory rather than voluntary regulation
– A commitment to regulation of the whole supply chain, ensuring that the legislation covers not only smelters and producers but also anyone handling these minerals, including importers.
– A commitment to a review of the minerals and minerals covered by the legislation In three years time.
In response to the adoption of the opinion, I said:
"Today we have sent a very clear message to the European Commission that an issue as serious as the trade in conflict minerals requires a strong and comprehensive reaction.
Working to reach an agreement across the political groups hasn't been easy, but this opinion demonstrates what can be achieved when you persist and gain agreement from MEPs in other countries.
The trade committee will now decide the fate of this legislation. I hope they will take up the Development committees strong opinion and support for an end to barbaric practices in the trade of conflict minerals."

Unless you've been living on a different planet, you know that harassment is still alive and well in our society. Employers are obligated to provide a safe and respectful work environment for employees. To do this, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission expects us to both prevent and respond to discrimination and harassment in our work places.
In this free webinar, we share our thoughts on best practices for demonstrating your commitment to preventing workplace disrespect and responding to it should it occur. While we'd like to keep the EEOC happy with our efforts, it's the right thing to do to keep our employees happy with their experience at work.
Limited to 50 participants. One Professional Development Credit Available (HRCI and SHRM).

Do you know the difference between creativity and innovation? If so, good for you! If not, don't worry. It seems an awful lot of people do not know the difference. Indeed, I am continually hearing people using the word "innovation" when they mean "creativity". Among these mis-users of terminology are so-called creativity and innovation experts who really ought to know better.
Why does this matter? There are two reasons. Firstly, sloppy use of terminology suggests a sloppy mind and possibly a poor upbringing. Secondly, people believe they are doing innovative when in truth they are merely being creative. While being creative is jolly good fun, creativity without implementation does nothing for your business.
To understand why this is the case, let us define the words correctly and talk about cakes.
Creativity is combining two or more different ideas or concepts in order to create a novel, new idea. Innovation is using those ideas to change your world for the better. In short, creativity is about the ideas. Innovation is about the implementation of those ideas in order to institute change. In a business context this would typically involve more money generated either through increased income (successful new product ideas), reduced costs or a combination of the two.
So, what happens when people talk innovation but do creativity? Not much and that's the problem.
Creative Alone Makes No Cake
Imagine you launch a cake recipe competition in which the three most creative cake recipes, submitted to your competition web site, win rewards. The public loves the idea and submit thousands of recipes, many of which sound like they would be incredibly delicious! It's a great exercise that generates lots and lots of cake ideas, but not a single cake. In short it is a creative exercise and not innovation.
Now, let us assume you want to innovate. You intend to bake the three most creative cake recipes submitted to the competition. But, you spent most of your budget on the recipe submission web site. So, the only resources you have available for making the cakes are a small kitchen, a small oven and basic cooking ingredients. You also have a really busy schedule, so there's no time to cook anything complicated. What all this means, of course, is that you won't actually be able to bake any complex or unusual cakes — such as the top three recipes. What do you do? You could do nothing and simply be happy that some creative ideas were submitted. You could modify the winning recipes to make them fit your limitations. You could review the recipes again, selecting only those that are possible with your limited resources. You launch a new competition.
If you follow the example of too many companies today, you will take the first choice: do nothing, be happy with the creative results and call it "innovation". But, if there's no cake, there's no innovation. So, this is an example of creativity. Unfortunately, you also used up budget and resources for your creative exercise that delivered no innovation. You may even create bad feelings among the cake recipe submitters for not baking any of their cakes.
Innovative Cake
Clearly, a better approach would be to have a cake baking competition where people bake cakes and submit them to you for tasting. There probably will not be as many submissions as in the case of the recipe competition. But you will have cake. You will have innovation.
Alternatively, if you really want to use your cake recipe submission web site, you can run the competition but make your resource limitations clear to recipe submitters. Then only select winning recipes that fit within your limitations. You can readilyo bake the winning recipes. Of course, you might not get such a high level of creativity — owing to your limitations. But, critically, you will have cake. You will have innovation.
Your Organization
Think about the innovation initiatives in your firm. Do they involve submitting fancy recipes that will never be baked into cakes? Or do they result in cakes? If there's no cake, there's no innovation!

|Angry Birds Star Wars
Anger is an emotion that the physical cause such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. The anger becomes a predominant feeling behaviorally, cognitively, and physiologically when a person makes a conscious choice to take direct action to stop the threat from outsiders.
External expression of anger can be found in the form of faces, body language, psychological responses, and sometimes aggression public. Humans and other animals for example, can emit loud sounds, attempt to look physically larger, baring their teeth, or bulging. Anger is a pattern of behavior designed to warn the bully to stop their threatening behavior. Physical contact is rare without the expression of anger by at least one of the participants. Although most of the actors explained that anger caused by "what has happened to them," psychologists show that people who get angry very likely make mistakes because of anger causes loss of self-control ability and objective assessment.
|Angry Birds Star Wars
|Angry Birds Star Wars
Modern psychologists view anger as a primary emotion, natural, and mature experienced by all men at some time, and is something that has functional value for survival. Anger can mobilize psychological capacity for corrective action. However, uncontrolled anger can negatively impact the quality of personal and social life.
Although many philosophers and writers have warned against the spontaneous anger and uncontrolled, there is disagreement about the intrinsic value of anger. Handling anger has been the writings of philosophers from the beginning to the present. Modern psychologists, in contrast to earlier writers, have also shown adverse effects for suppressing anger. Appointment of anger has also been used as a manipulation strategy for social influence.

Bird was a member of vertebrates (vertebrate) having feathers and wings. The oldest bird fossil found in Germany and is known as Archaeopteryx.
These types of birds are so varied, ranging from the tiny hummingbird to the ostrich, which is higher than man. It is estimated there are about 8800-10200 bird species worldwide, approximately 1,500 kinds are found in Indonesia. Various bird species is scientifically classified into the class Aves.
Most birds need to eat at least half of their body weight every day.

Free Download PC Games Angry Birds All Series (Seasons 1.5, Rio, Space, Star Wars) with Cracked
Angry Birds is a video game that was originally on the application iPad / iPhone, but has now been released on various media. This game is quite addictive so that the wearer has been downloaded more than 1 billion users. Even British officials were interested in the game.
How to play
In Angry Birds, players control a flock of colorful birds that are trying to take the eggs were stolen by a group of evil green pigs. At each level, the pigs are protected by structures made of various materials such as ice, wood, and stone. The objective of the game is to eliminate all the pigs in each level of the game. Using a slingshot, players launch the birds with the intent to hit the pigs directly or damaging the structure to protect it, the collapse of structure can kill pigs. In various stages of the game, additional objects such as explosive crates and rocks are found at several levels, and can be used in conjunction with the birds to destroy the pigs that are difficult to reach.
|Angry Birds Rio
|Angry Birds Rio
There are several types of birds used in the game. At the initial level, the red bird is the only one available. Each stage of the game, a bird will grow, some species of birds more effective against particular materials or have special abilities that are activated after the bird was released. For example, a small blue bird can separate into three smaller birds, blue birds frozen ice can make its mark, a yellow bird which can increase the speed and destructive force, which could be a black bird explodes and a white bird can drop bombs eggs, green bird could backfire, red or green bird that can destroy large more structure, which can enlarge the orange birds themselves, and purple birds can shoot on target. Pigs also appear in different sizes. Small pigs are relatively weak and easily destroyed either by direct hits or by debris from the damaged buildings, larger pigs are able to defend themselves from a lot of damage. Also, some pigs wear steel helmets, making them more resistant to structural damage, while pigs with crowns can withstand the most damage.
Each level starts with the number, types, and the involvement of birds that have been determined. If all pigs can be defeated at the last bird is used, the level is completed and the next level is open. Points earned for each pig defeated as well as of any damage or destruction of the structure, as well as bonus points will be awarded for any unused birds. After completing each level, players receive one, two, or three stars, depending on the value received. Players can re-try opening levels as much as they want in order to successfully complete or to gain additional points and / or stars added.

Local People in Bridgwater
"In all my time living here, I have never seen this part of the neighbourhood. I have enjoyed the walking group and chatting to other people." Mary, resident
"The Forum provides a much-wanted platform for the community to express their views and concerns they want to address.
With our support, residents have informed the designs of all the activities through a series of pop-up events and design workshops around the neighbourhood. Votes and comments are presented to the Forum and help to shape their decisions.
The Forum recently organised a fun day for the community, with everyone lending a hand to promote it through their friends and local groups. The event brought over 120 people together in the local park, enjoying the range of fun activities on offer as well as each other's company.
As well as the opportunity to learn skills, on-street activities have enabled new people to become engaged in the project. One example is the social walks, where residents are seeing parts of their neighbourhood they haven't seen before and meeting new people.
Some residents are now working together to get a series of walks happening on a weekly basis. They have tested a route, which they will discuss with other residents before they begin to promote it.
A recent planting event also provides a good example of how events, however big or small, provide an opportunity for residents to talk and get to know one another. Residents had the chance to meet people living in different areas of the neighbourhood, who they had not been in touch with before, and share their contacts and expertise with others.
Neighbours soon realised that they have skills and resources that could help each other and are now working together on different projects, including building new benches, which were painted in purple to offset the existing blue and green planters. The planters reclaimed an area of ground that was normally overrun with parked cars and now provides a pleasant space for people to sit with friends.
Skills, confidence and networks are growing in the community alongside people's desire to see positive change in the neighbourhood through up and coming activities that include community brunches and gardening, plus new colourful benches and verge planting on the horizon."

The EU has agreed on a framework aimed at stopping the financing of armed groups through trade in conflict minerals.
The move is part of work to ensure that EU companies responsibly source tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold – minerals used in mobile phones, cars and jewellery.
The framework, agreed after negotiations between the EU's commission, council and parliament, includes obligations for the "upstream" part of the supply chain, including smelters and refiners, to source responsibly. The vast majority of metals and minerals imported to the EU will be covered, while small volume importers will be exempted.
The EU approach will build upon the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for responsible mineral sourcing.
The commission will also take other steps, including developing reporting tools, to further boost supply chain due diligence by EU "downstream" companies that use these metals and minerals as components in goods.
The framework will be followed by technical work, with the adoption of a regulation in the coming months.
Speaking on behalf of the council, Lilianne Ploumen, minister for foreign trade and development cooperation in the Netherlands, said the EU was committed to preventing international trade in minerals from financing warlords, criminals and human rights abusers.
Chairman of the European Parliament's INTA committee, Bernd Lange, said: "We need to step up to our responsibilities and finally break the vicious cycle between the trade in minerals and the financing of conflict."
INTA rapporteur Iuliu Winkler said: "This framework paves the way for an effective and workable EU regulation that will make a real impact on the ground."

Ghosh, Debraj and Ghanem, Roger (2012) An invariant subspace-based approach to the random eigenvalue problem of systems with clustered spectrum. In: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN ENGINEERING, 91 (4). pp. 378-396.

The repeated or closely spaced eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of a matrix are usually very sensitive to a perturbation of the matrix, which makes capturing the behavior of these eigenpairs very difficult. Similar difficulty is encountered in solving the random eigenvalue problem when a matrix with random elements has a set of clustered eigenvalues in its mean. In addition, the methods to solve the random eigenvalue problem often differ in characterizing the problem, which leads to different interpretations of the solution. Thus, the solutions obtained from different methods become mathematically incomparable. These two issues, the difficulty of solving and the non-unique characterization, are addressed here. A different approach is used where instead of tracking a few individual eigenpairs, the corresponding invariant subspace is tracked. The spectral stochastic finite element method is used for analysis, where the polynomial chaos expansion is used to represent the random eigenvalues and eigenvectors. However, the main concept of tracking the invariant subspace remains mostly independent of any such representation. The approach is successfully implemented in response prediction of a system with repeated natural frequencies. It is found that tracking only an invariant subspace could be sufficient to build a modal-based reduced-order model of the system. Copyright (C) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Howe (The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, 2009) sets her second novel among early-20th-century Bostonians fascinated by the power of both spiritualism and the new science of psychology.
Twenty-seven-year-old spinster Sibyl Allston lives a quiet life with her father Lan, a successful businessman who talks little about his youth as a sailor in the Far East. In 1915 both are still mourning the deaths of Sibyl's mother, Helen, and younger sister Eulah, who drowned on the Titanic three years before. Except for her regular visits to the medium, Mrs. Dee, in hopes of making contact with her mother and sister, Sibyl is a retiring, conventional young woman. Then her younger brother Harlan is thrown out of Harvard, ends up in the hospital after a fight he will not discuss, and moves back into the family home along with a young woman named Dovie, whose background remains as murky as her relationship to Harlan. Dovie introduces Sibyl to a potentially dangerous habit in Boston's Chinatown, but at the same time Sibyl's former beau re-enters her life. Benton is now a psychology professor at Harvard who tries to help Sibyl by exposing Mrs. Dee as a fraud. But as the country drifts toward World War I, Sibyl begins to realize she may possess an unexpected gift as a seer, one that she unknowingly inherited from her father along with a taste for opium. Is knowing the future a gift or a curse, or does it depend on the angle through which it is viewed? Ultimately Sibyl learns that even within a world ruled by fate, choices can be made.
The slightly sordid melodrama and para-psychological philosophizing lean uncomfortably against a sappy romance.

Today's brownie recipe is adapted from a contest winner from Southern Living magazine. A $1,000 "brand winner" in the desserts category, this recipe features 1/4 cup of Millstone Coffee. Unless you brew your coffee really, really, strong, you're not going to get much flavor from 1/4 cup brewed coffee, but in this case it doesn't matter because the brownies are so good.
If you don't drink coffee, you could probably get away with using water. The base is made with unsweetened chocolate, but to get the full flavor and texture effect, you need to add some good chocolate chips. In the original recipe, it's a full 2 cups, so in the half batch recipe below I used 1. Since I was making these for a group of kids, I left out the nuts.
These are neither fudgy nor cakey but rather somewhere in between. They bake at fairly high temperature, so keep an eye on them and err on the side of underbaking rather than over. Mine were perfect in 30 minutes, but the full batch will need 35. Here's a link to the 9×13 inch version of Deluxe Brownies. Below is the 8 inch version.
Deluxe 8 Inch Pan Brownies
- 1 stick 4 ounces unsalted butter
- 3/8 teaspoon salt omit if using salted butter
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup extra dark chocolate morsels
- 1/2 cup chopped and toasted walnuts optional
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Line an 8 inch square metal pan with nonstick foil.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan or in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the salt, chocolate and coffee Reduce heat to low, and stir until melted. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- Beat eggs on high speed of an electric mixer. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, beating 3 minutes or until thick and pale.
- Add chocolate mixture to egg mixture, beating until blended. Gradually add flour, stirring just until blended.
- Stir in chocolate morsels and walnuts (if using). Pour into the pan and bake on center rack at at 375° for 30 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack for about an hour, then transfer to refrigerator and chill for another hour or two or until very cold. Lift foil with brownies out of pan. Cut brownies into squares.

I get it! Working out can feel a little daunting at times. You know you would feel better if you did it, but somehow it just doesn't happen. Your schedule is hectic. Getting to the gym is too complicated; fitness class schedules don't work for you. You're away camping most weekends. I so understand –and I hear these challenges every day. This workout is designed to bust those! You can do it anywhere with NO equipment (aka you could actually do this in a hotel room or campsite!).
Program Details:
For optimal conditioning I recommend that you complete this workout 2-3x per week. Keep the following in mind:
- note: this workout was designed for a generally healthy individual with no health complications or injuries. If you have concerns about whether this workout is appropriate for you, please speak to me. Before you commence any exercise program it is recommended that you speak with your doctor for clearance
- Something is better than nothing. If you only have time for 1 round, one round is great!
- Make sure you warm up your body before you start. Simple movement patterns like marching, ogging on the spot or jumping jacks is great for 3-5 minutes. You could also complete this after a brisk walk. It's important to warm up to prepare your body for the movement. Warm up helps lubricate your joints, bring more blood flow to the muscles and increases your heart rate and breathing rate gradually so you're ready to go!
- There are exercises that are strength focused as well as "cardio intervals" designed to increase your heart rate and get you moving more. The concept is to be efficient with your limited time & get your heart pumping & body moving in functional ways!
- Start the circuit by completing each movement for 30 seconds. Build up to 1 minute per exercise.
- Flow through the circuit completely, and then if you have time for a second or third set repeat from the top!
- Always complete your workout with a total body stretch. You can find a video to walk you through that here
Workout Tips:
- Please wear proper footwear – yes you can do it anytime & anywhere, but make sure your feet are supported!
- Cardio moves are meant to increase your heart & breathing rate. Your intensity should be a 6-7/10 (10=all out)
- Strength moves are about slow, controlled movement. Complete movements slowly (count 3 up and down). Don't let momentum do the work (that's your muscles' job!)
- Breathe throughout the movement. Do not hold your breath. If you can try to exhale as you push (exhale on exertion)
- Watch your form. If you are unsure about a movement email me or watch the video! Proper form is fundamental to strength development and injury prevention
- If something hurts, stop doing it and ask for a modification or have someone look at your form
If you're not sure if this program is for you, or you're looking for something more, please contact me!

- Lovely fragrance, poor performance
- Nice performance and scent!
The soap, like all GFT shaving soaps comes in a nice box (as in the picture) that tells you a brief history of GFT.
The soap comes sealed in plastic, housed within the nice wooden bowl (like all GFT soaps).
The scent is exactly the same as the GFT Violet shaving cream, although not as strong.
The soap itself like all of the GFT soaps performed wonderfully! I loaded my brush and continued bowl lathering without any issues. The lather lasted for the entire 3 pass shave and didn't disappear or dry up like some others.
Overall I loved this shaving soap! Both the performance and scent are wonderful (if you like violets). Yes its not one of the more "manly" scents, but like the rose equivalent, its awesome for a change.
Thanks Mens Biz for the free sample and super fast shipping!
- very impressed
This Violet soap has left me stunned ! A beautiful, dreamy fragrance that actually relaxed and calmed me
as the shave progressed. I've never been a new-age aromatherapy kind of guy, but I now have an inkling
of how fragrances can affect a person in a positive, pleasant way. The "latherability" is very impressive, rich
and foamy with either Boar Bristle or Silvertip Badger brush. I now smell like an Edwardian Gentleman.

Dylan Grice Explains How "Crackpot" Central Bankers Are Destroying Society
Dylan Grice
With their crackpot monetary ideas, central banks have been robbing Peter to pay Paul without knowing which one was which. And a problem here is this thing behavioral psychologists call self-attribution bias. It describes how when good things happen to people they think it's because of something they did, but when bad things happen to them they think it's because of something someone else did…. When we look around we can't help feeling something similar is happening. The 99% blame the 1%; the 1% blame the 47%. In the aftermath of the Eurozone's own credit bubbles, the Germans blame the Greeks. The Greeks round on the foreigners. The Catalans blame the Castilians. And as 25% of the Italian electorate vote for a professional comedian whose party slogan "vaff a" means roughly "f**k off ", the Germans are repatriating their gold from New York and Paris. Meanwhile in China, that centrally planned mother of all credit inflations, popular anger is being directed at Japan, and this is before its own credit bubble chapter has fully played out. (The rising risk of war is something we are increasingly worried about…) Of course, everyone blames the bankers ("those to whom the system brings windfalls… become 'profiteers' who are the object of the hatred").
The Rest…HERE

FRESNO, Calif. — For the second consecutive day, a 3-3 match came down to Sacramento State's No. 1 singles player Marek Marksoo, and the sophomore delivered yet again in a four and a half hour marathon victory over Fresno State Sunday afternoon at the Wathen Tennis Center.
Yesterday, the Hornets found themselves locked in a 3-3 tie with UC Davis when Marksoo won his match by a 6-7 (3), 6-2, 6-4 score to provide the final tally in a 4-3 Sacramento State win. Today, it was nearly an identical scenario as the Hornets were again playing a rival on the road with Marksoo's match still going in a 3-3 tie. The Tallinn, Estonia, native did not disappoint, erasing an early 2-1 deficit in the third set to defeat Reid deLaubenfels, 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4.
With the win, the Hornets improved to 3-5 on the young season. Sacramento State has yet to play at home this year, and has now played all eight matches with one senior, four sophomores and a redshirt freshman in the team's lineup.
In addition, the Hornets defeated Fresno State (3-8) for the first time during the program's Div. I era (1992-pres.). Sacramento State had been 0-8 against the Bulldogs prior to today's victory.
"To pull out road wins on back-to-back days against rival schools is very impressive," Sacramento State assistant coach Kevin Kurtz said. "There was no quit in anyone on this team, every player was into every match, and I felt like our guys played like warriors this weekend."
Not only did Marksoo come through with the match-clinching singles win, it was Marksoo and teammate Aliaksandr Malko that came back from a 6-2 deficit in doubles play to defeat deLaubenfels and Sam MacNeil, 8-6, and earn the Hornets the much-needed doubles point.
Sacramento State also got singles wins at No. 2 from Malko (6-2, 6-4) and at No. 6 from Niranjan Ram (6-2, 2-6, 6-0). It was Ram that had a singles win yesterday and helped the Hornets erase a 3-1 deficit to defeat UC Davis. In fact, Ram, who is a redshirt freshman, has won three straight singles matches. He and Marksoo are now a team-best 5-3 in singles play this season.
The Hornets' doubles tandem of Sean Kolar and Tom Miller won their match at No. 2 by an 8-4 score as Sacramento State won two of the three doubles matches to earn the point. The tandem of Kolar/Miller has now won three straight doubles matches.
The Hornets will finally play their first home match of the season on Friday, March 1, when the team hosts Pacific for a 3:30 p.m. matchup at Rio Del Oro Racquet Club. Friday will begin a season-long six-match homestand that includes a contest against Cal on March 7.

I can mess up any operating system in a minute. I do have computer anxiety.
I took a class long ago with my direct reports at work. They can validate this story. The teacher said, "Don't worry, you can't do any damage." Well, I did. Who knows how? The teacher didn't. Kept saying, "I don't believe you did this!!"
Needless to say, I have a little sense of Jinx when it comes to technology.
And I have "learned incompetence" from having had good support people around me at work, where I just yelled, "Help". Often and loud.
I got in a "Let's create order!" frame of mind this last week-end. Not good.
I don't do order so well. I'm a clear thinker in chaos, but should not approach
minute ordering. I do well with "glumps".
I decide to clean up my computer and iPad. (So go your closets, so go your iPad and computer) Let's say I had many many many many emails to trash.
Many, many. I turned on the cooking channel and began my clean-up.
I'll never share how many hours passed!
But, for one glorious moment I had ZERO emails. I didn't mean to delete the last 100 so if I haven't responded to you, now you know why. (See what i mean?) But it felt great. A little odd, like I had no friends or importance in the world but exciting. No burden, no guilt, no clutter. I did the same with my iPad (not as easy). I felt like i was on helium.
But then, no email appeared for a day and a half. Bye, bye freedom. Hello anxiety. What did I miss? Who had I offended? What great surprise did i
pass by? I had pressed too many random keys which is my approach to technology. So I pressed random buttons again and there were 200 plus emails immediately in front of me. I felt safer. And I felt chased. How to stay ahead of the onslaught?
Food for thought. Still chewing on it.
I bet you are too.

Summary: This article introduces the converting tools and lists 2 ways for you to convert VCR to DVD.
The Most Complete DVD/Blu-ray/4K UHD Solutions
If you have a box full of VHS tapes that contain your childhood memories, it would be wise to convert them to a digital format that has a longer lifespan than VHS tapes. Let us first look at the different formats we are talking about here. The VHS tapes were the magnetic material wound tapes available in the 80s and were played by special players called VCR/VHS players. Actually, VCR was the larger versions of later popularized VHS tapes and also used magnetic tapes to record the videos on them. The VCR was in fact known as a video cassette recorder for no reason.
These were hardware that was able to read the data encoded in the magnetic tapes and play it to your CRT screens using the analog connectors that were red, yellow, white and black in color most of the time. Here is a look at one of the pictures from the early 80s.
This is a hardware plus software combo that works on PC and supports up to Windows 8. This has been adequately tested and verified by gadget freaks and testing sites. The major pros about the device are that it comes with analog pins that connect to your VCR or VHS player output and the other end connects to the computer or laptop via a USB port. All you need to do is to play your VHS cassette and it gets recorded at the other end of the device into your computer.
The process can take some time depending on the length of your cassettes. After it is done, the file is saved in all the major file formats supported and used widely by a video and media players like MPEG1, MPEG2 up to MPEG4. A lot of video capture devices do not support so many formats. These files are now available in digital format on your hard disk. The rest part is to use a DVD maker to convert the digital file into a menu driven tagged DVD, add custom designs, audio tracks, and subtitles, create chapters and so on from VHS or VCR to DVD. There are much functionality in this software.
Meanwhile, Diamond Video Capture also comes with its own DVD creator that also has editing options and allows you to burn the digital file into a DVD. However, if you are using one of the latest computers you can benefit more using DVDFab DVD Creator that uses latest Intel Sync and other capabilities to speed up process without any loss in quality of audio or video.
One of the things to consider is that Diamond Video Capture is also universally compatible with any video capture software, so you can capture it using other software that can render the captured video into a digital file much faster using hardware acceleration. In a custom test, it took 15 hours to burn a single 40 min fromVCR to DVD disc.
This is also a hardware VCR to DVD converter from analog to digital along with bundled software to capture video from the laptop or computer screen and then bundled with a DVD burner too. It is universally compatible with any other video capture software also, and most obviously once the video has been rendered you can easily convert it VCR to DVD and then to file versions for most widely used MP4 or other versions for your DVD or just play it on your smart phone. The output format is limited to only 3 while many others have up to 7 different options to choose from. It also gives the option to edit the video before burning to the DVD.
However, the software bundled with it is of not much use compared to the likes of DVDFab DVD Creator that has GPU acceleration that speeds up the burning process manifold times. The video rendering is also enhanced from 15 hours to maybe 5 hours of using a software like hand-brake that supports multi-threading and GPU acceleration also.
The good thing about such devices is that you can record any copyrighted material using them since they allow you to convert the VHS or VCR contents from the laptop by capturing the recording playing on the screen itself. This is akin to making the video once again from scratch. It is not trying to decrypt the video file on the VHS cassette, but playing the analog video file and convert VCR to DVD by first to digital and transferring to the laptop via the USB port. It is as simple as it sounds.
The best DVD ripping software that can quickly rip and convert a DVD to any mainstream audio & video formats for playback on PCs, portable and mobile devices.
Burn any videos to standard Blu-ray
Copy any Blu-ray to Blu-ray disc/folder/ISO file
Copy any DVD to DVD disc/folder/ISO file
A DVD decryption software will decrypt an encrypted DVD and help you make copies of it for legal use. Here we will discuss some best DVD decrypters for Windows 10.
How to play DVDs on Windows 8? This article reveals you how to play DVDs on Windows 8 with third-party DVD players like DVDFab Player 5 or the licensed DVD player provided by computer manufacturers.
