Phillip Greenlief (reeds) & Claudia La Rocco (text, voice) created Animals & Giraffes as a way to explore how improvisation on and off the page can create a larger conversation between sound and text. Collaboration is central to Animals & Giraffes; for this concert Greenlief and La Rocco are joined by electronic musician John Bischoff and percussionist Karen Stackpole (who is one of many Bay Area improvisers featured on the duo's debut album, JULY, forthcoming from Relative Pitch Records).
Since his emergence on the west coast in the late 1970s, saxophonist/composer PHILLIP GREENLIEF has achieved international critical acclaim for his recordings and performances with musicians and composers in the post-jazz continuum as well as new music innovators and virtuosic improvisers. He has performed and recorded with Fred Frith, Meredith Monk and They Might Be Giants; albums include THAT OVERT DESIRE OF OBJECT with Joelle Leandre, and ALL AT ONCE with FPR (Frank Gratkowski, Jon Raskin, Phillip Greenlief). Recent residencies have included Headlands Center for the Arts and from 2012 to 2014 he was the curator at Berkeley Arts, a home for progressive music. He is the recipient of a San Francisco Bay Guardian Goldie Award. "The Bay Area's do-it-yourself ethos has produced a bevy of dazzlingly creative musicians, but few have put the philosophy to work as effectively as Phillip Greenlief." – Andrew Gilbert, San Francisco Chronicle (www.evandermusic.com)

The clock had just rounded midnight when William C. Thompson Jr. rolled into a diner in Inwood, eager to shake a hand, anyone's hand. Two hours later, he was meeting hospital workers and the head of the teachers' union at a Dunkin' Donuts in Brooklyn. By 3 a.m., he was in Harlem, holding a candlelight vigil for a young woman killed in a housing project. Then it was off to the Bronx, in an apron and hairnet, to inspect a meat processing plant in Hunts Point at 5 a.m.
Mr. Thompson's 25-hour, 23-stop campaigning spree spanning Aug. 1 and 2 was, of course, an opportunity to meet voters who work all sorts of shifts all over New York. But it was also an effort to change the conversation about a mayoral campaign that has not been going his way.
There were a lot of reasons to believe that this would be the year for Mr. Thompson. He was the Democratic nominee in 2009, when he stunned many by coming within five percentage points of unseating Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, despite being outspent by more than $100 million. He is the only African-American candidate in a city where whites are a minority. And, in a primary field of Democrats that many have deemed underwhelming, he has won praise for his even-tempered, deliberative approach to vexing issues.
But Mr. Thompson has repeatedly been eclipsed by his flashier Democratic rivals, who are all younger, and louder, than he is.
Christine C. Quinn, the City Council speaker, led the race for much of the year, until former Representative Anthony D. Weiner briefly rode notoriety into the field's top tier. This week, it is Bill de Blasio, the public advocate, who has commanded the attention, vaulting into first place in one poll and a tie in another, and once again relegating Mr. Thompson to third in both.
And throughout the year, pollsters have been noticing a startling reality: Even though this year is the fourth time Mr. Thompson has appeared on a citywide ballot, nearly half of New York voters in a Quinnipiac Poll taken last month said they still did not know enough about him to form an opinion.
Mr. Thompson's campaign team says it is not worried about the candidate's relative lack of recognition. But in a conference call discussing his first television advertisements this week, Jonathan Prince, his chief strategist, described them as a "compelling reintroduction" of Mr. Thompson.
And Mr. Thompson has appeared sensitive, of late, to any perceptions that he does not have the drive or the passion to be mayor. During his 25 hours of nonstop campaigning, he kept repeating: "I haven't been tired. I've been energized."
He said in Harlem: "We're taking it to the next level. We are picking up energy. We are picking up momentum. We are in overdrive right now." In a televised debate on Tuesday, when the candidates were asked to name one thing about them that would surprise voters, he uttered an answer that seemed intended to change perceptions: "In almost any sport that I've ever played, I'm incredibly competitive. Uh, very competitive."
Mr. Thompson has long been reluctant to accept any blame for his 2009 defeat. He rejects the notion, often put forward by analysts, that his support was a protest against Mr. Bloomberg, rather than an endorsement of him. And he often suggests that his electoral performance was a victory, given the odds against him.
His campaign this year has won support from a number of establishment figures and institutions, including unions representing firefighters, teachers and some police officers, as well as respected members of the state's political elite. They include two widely respected experts on New York's financial troubles, Richard Ravitch, the former lieutenant governor, and Felix G. Rohatyn, the investment banker, as well as Merryl H. Tisch, the chancellor of the State Board of Regents.
A New Strategy
And yet, polls show him stalled, usually in third place. So, despite insisting that public-opinion surveys underestimate black and Hispanic voters, he now appears to be recalibrating his original strategy, which essentially assumed that what nearly worked four years ago would be good enough this time.
No longer is Mr. Thompson casting himself as a Bloomberg foil on a wide variety of matters, including term limits and income inequality. Rather, he has adopted more moderate stances on issues like policing, taxes and even Mr. Bloomberg, a political independent. The mayor has had his "ups and downs," Mr. Thompson told one Bloomberg critic at the Crown Heights subway station, but did a "great" job on gun control.
And while his campaign team — which itself was shaken up a few months ago, and now includes feistier outsiders with few ties to Mr. Thompson's Brooklyn machine roots — remains bullish about his odds, aides no longer talk solely about the demographic mathematical combinations that will propel him to a decisive victory without the need for a runoff. Instead, they express confidence that he will finish first or second and make the runoff, while infusing their conversations with buzzwords like accomplishments, maturity and temperament. They are also more apt to attack an opponent immediately rather than wait.
"It's getting out of your old shell a little bit," Mr. Thompson said, as he handed out palm cards early in the campaign season. "Before, you were shyer; you stayed back and you felt you'd be imposing on people."
Mr. Thompson's critics say that, in the aftermath of his 2009 defeat, he failed to seize the momentum of his better-than-expected performance, and instead disappeared from the public eye for several years in which he focused on a new marriage and a job in municipal finance.
Mr. Thompson also got off to a slow fund-raising start, and has to struggle, as he did in 2009, with balancing his spending between advertising and consultants. In 2009, he ran so low on cash that he had to run some 15-second television advertisements, half the usual length. In the primary this year, he lags behind Ms. Quinn and Mr. de Blasio in the money race; he was the last of the top four Democrats to broadcast a TV ad, and he is spending at a relatively high rate on consultants and staff.
Sometimes, Mr. Thompson can sound ambivalent or defensive about whether he could have defeated Mr. Bloomberg had he tried harder, or whether he has learned anything from his loss. Instead, he often suggests that the major difference this time is simply that more people are paying attention to him because the Bloomberg juggernaut is absent.
"I think 2009 was 2009 — it's not '13," Mr. Thompson said. "I believed that I had run a strong campaign. Rather than look back at what hadn't happened, it was the positives that you took away."
For some of his 2009 supporters, that is not enough.
"I think there was an expectation that he would continue to carry the banner as the standard-bearer for New Yorkers who felt at the time of his loss that there was a movement that resulted in him coming so close," said a disappointed Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail Wholesale and Department Stores Union. "But you didn't hear him speaking out about public issues for two years."
Mr. Appelbaum supported Mr. Thompson back then; this year he is supporting Ms. Quinn.
Others, though, are encouraged by Mr. Thompson's efforts at reinventing himself.
Former United States Representative Floyd H. Flake, who supported Mr. Bloomberg in 2009, now backs Mr. Thompson because he is convinced that he has overcome a lack of "intestinal fortitude" to make tough decisions.
"When you have a tendency to speak in such a way that everything is good, everything is all right, as he does, people wonder if you're soft," Mr. Flake said. "I think he has worked through that problem."
Liberals Frustrated
On policy issues, Mr. Thompson has veered away, somewhat, from his 2009 persona. He is hammering away again at affordability, education and jobs. But he has also vowed not to raise taxes, to the delight of business leaders. And he has frustrated some liberals with his moderate positions — he supported Mr. Bloomberg's opposition to two City Council policing bills related to stop-and-frisk tactics, for example.
Mr. Thompson has periodically tried to call attention to his capacity for passion. When he was asked at one debate in Brooklyn a few months ago whether he would pledge to never overturn term limits or any other city referendums, he smiled, adjusted his tie and stated calmly: "What happened before was a disgrace."
But as his rivals ripped into Ms. Quinn over term limits, Mr. Thompson began to seethe noticeably, then interrupted. "Undermining the will of the people of the city of New York who went to the polls twice and then were forced to go back a third time was outrageous!" he railed during a 45-second rant in which he stabbed the air with his index finger more than 30 times. "There is no reason! There is no excuse!"
He also showed a flash of anger at a forum in Queens in March, at which he attacked John C. Liu, the comptroller, after Mr. Liu called on Mr. Thompson to endorse his stance on abolishing stop-and-frisk policing because "I feel lonely." Mr. Thompson, atypically indignant, responded: "I'm the one who has to worry about my son being stopped and frisked. I'm the one who has to worry about my son being shot in the streets of New York."
The Thompson campaign has highlighted some of these emotional displays to show that Mr. Thompson has the proverbial fire in the belly. But not everyone is persuaded. One person who was in meetings at which Mr. Thompson would pound on the table, point vigorously, shake his fist and raise his voice, said, "It was like watching someone get up and do a high school play: Time to be angry! Time to be fiery!"
By Mr. Thompson's own estimate, he is now logging up to 16-hour campaign days, 50 percent longer than most days four years ago. But at times he comes across as stiff and formal by frequently clasping his hands in front of him while addressing voters, as if he were a principal congratulating honor-roll students.
In June, at a news conference in front of his childhood home in Bedford-Stuyvesant inaugurating the ballot-petitioning process, Mr. Thompson declared that he felt "fired up." But as volunteers fanned out to collect signatures, one entered a bodega and, clipboard in hand, showed the green petition forms to an employee. Only then did Mr. Thompson, who had been hanging in the back, sheepishly extend a hand and introduce himself.
By August, on his 25-hour tour, he had become more comfortable on the trail. As he walked along Dyckman Street, a supporter shook his hand and chanted: "The city never sleeps. The campaign that never sleeps."
Mr. Thompson smiled. That was just the message he wanted to hear. But still, it was late.
"Does that mean we have to do this every night?" he said, chuckling and hoisting his eyebrows.

One Suffrage Superstar's Fight for Women's Voices (and Votes)
Editor's Note: This Women's History Month, Bumble is celebrating women from all walks of life, across centuries and generations, who didn't believe in sticking to the rules. These founding members of our First Movers Club didn't let gender norms — or anything else! — hold them back. They left their mark by making the first move, and the world is a better place thanks to their bravery and boldness.
While so many Americans across the country were gearing up to fight in World War I, Alice Paul was preparing for a battle of her own. One of the premier faces of the woman suffrage movement, Paul was arrested seven times and imprisoned three over the course of her campaign for women's rights.
From marching through the city streets of Washington D.C. in 1913 to picketing at the White House gates four years later, Paul gave many women the voice they'd long hoped for — and showed naysayers what it really meant to "fight like a girl."
We honor Alice Paul this Women's History Month, and celebrate her hard-won fight to further women's equality. To learn more about why Paul has our vote, read on.
- Paul first became involved with the suffrage movement while studying in England, where she met fellow American suffragist Lucy Burns.
- Paul led the original women's march on Washington in 1913, rallying more than 5,000 women to fight for suffrage, including famous activist Helen Keller.
- Frustrated with what she saw as American suffragists' conservative strategies, Paul founded the National Woman's Party, which utilized radical tactics such as hunger strikes to fight the status quo.
- In 1917, Paul and her group of Silent Sentinels organized the first known picketing of the White House, which lasted for months.
- In 1922, Paul wrote the first version of the Equal Rights Amendment — almost a century later, the amendment still has yet to be ratified.

This creamy dessert has the yumminess of ice cream, but no need to make space in your freezer.
This dessert is an absolute guilty pleasure. I don't make it very often, but when I do, it vanishes in no time. It is a recipe that I got from my grandmother. The reason I call it a "guilty pleasure" is because it is literally the only thing I make that uses a mix of any kind. I have made a couple alterations from the original that my grandmother gave me, but I really can't make any more changes than that, or it simply won't be the same dessert that I grew up enjoying.
To begin, you will make a crust by crushing 50 Ritz crackers, and mixing them with 1/2 c (1 stick) of melted butter. Press them into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish, and bake them it at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
Once it is cooled, scoop 1 quart of vanilla ice cream into a dish and let it sit on the counter to soften while you do the next step.
In a mixing bowl, beat together 1 1/2 c milk
And two 3.4 ounce packages of vanilla instant pudding mix.
Beat them together for about a minute until smooth.
Add in the ice cream, and mix it until it is all combined.
Pour the mixture over the crust and spread it smooth.
Chill this for about an hour.
My grandmother always used cool whip here, but I have changed that to real whipped cream.
In a chilled mixing bowl, beat together 1 pint of heavy whipping cream, 1/3 c powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Beat them until stiff, and spread over the top of the ice cream mixture.
For the final touch, chop up a chocolate & toffee bar (Heath or Skor) and sprinkle it over the top.
Let the dessert chill another half hour in the fridge, and then enjoy!
- 50 Ritz Crackers, crushed
- 1 stick (1/2 c) butter, melted
- 1½ c milk
- 2 3.4 ounce packages of vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- ⅓ c powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 chocolate & toffee candy bar (Heath, Skor)
- To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the butter and cracker crumbs in a dish, and press them into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Cool completely.
- Scoop your ice cream into a bowl and let it sit on the counter while you do the next part.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the milk and pudding mixes until smooth.
- Beat in the ice cream until all combined and smooth.
- Spread the mixture over the crust, and then chill for an hour.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, beat together the whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff.
- Spread this over the top of the ice cream dessert.
- Chop up the candy bar, and sprinkle it over the top.
- Chill for another 30 minutes, and ENJOY!

Bob Masi
The Bob Masi Scholarship was named in honor of Bob Masi many years ago. Sadly, Bob lost his battle with cancer at that time but not before leaving his mark as a wonderful person, coach, and devoted father and husband.
All three Masi boys played for Seacoast United and each of them have the distinct honor of being captains at their respective colleges. Joe Masi was captain at Stonehill College, Michael Masi at Bates College, and Eric Masi at the University of New Hampshire. Their ability, leadership, sportsmanship, and competitive edge on and off the field is a credit to how they were brought up by their parents and a wonderful tribute to Bob's devotion to his life as a father, player, and coach.

Matt Duss has noted here and here Republicans' efforts to score the failed attack by the so-called underpants bomber sent by Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula as a success for their own political ends. Spencer Ackerman makes a similar point here, labeling Obama's use of the word "attack" as "Derridean," implying that Obama is saying that near is just as far as far.
My friend Elias has addressed the idea that we can't really judge AQAP's capabilities on the basis of a single failed attack, since it's likely that had things gone a little differently, many commentators would be making the exact opposite point (see Ackerman's response and Elias's response to that).
On this last point, I totally agree with Elias, both that Al-Qaida (as a whole) has gotten weaker since 2001 and that we shouldn't base that assessment on the failed Christmas attack. The point I'd like to make, though, is that the Al-Qaida that did 9/11 and is hiding somewhere in North Waziristan and Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, while affiliated, are not the same organization. As such, it's not very helpful to lump them together when talking about their capabilities or even their strategies.
So back to my point about whether this attack was a success or a failure, I think Duss is right that Republicans are touting success for their own cynical reasons, but in all fairness, I can think of a few reasons why the whole thing could be net gain for Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula:
- It shows reach for an organization that until now had only acted regionally.
- Along with the failed attempt on Bin Nayef in Saudi Arabia, it shows that the organization that was nearly eradicated back in 2003 has been rejuvenated enough to attempt more and more ambitious attacks.
- It is likely to goad Washington into more drone attacks, which are as unpopular in Yemen as they are in Pakistan.
- It is likely to push the US into seeing Yemen even more through a counter-terrorism lens, which will likely mean more US support for Saleh, further weakening what little power and legitimacy the government has left in a country that is facing state failure on at least two if not more fronts.
Obviously, the attack would have been more successful for AQAP had it, well, succeeded, but that doesn't mean that it's necessarily a net loss for them, or a net gain for the US for that matter. Ackerman may call that "Derridean," but I don't think it's really parsing words or being post-modernly abstruse to say that even while failing tactically, it's possible for a group like AQAP to have some success (if only limited) strategically. After all, we even have an accepted term based on historical precedent for the converse situation, a tactical success that is strategic failure. Or maybe Plutarch was just the very first postmodernist.

"I believe that all men are of infinite worth! I am active in churches, prisons, schools and communities conducting programs that change the way men do life through the transforming Gospel of Jesus Christ. Using a method that appeals to every man's desire to be a hero, I am seeing significant changes being made in inmates, students, businessmen, churches and communities. My passion is to do my part in changing the world, one man at a time." – Founder, Steve Sabol
"Steve has a heart for men and is able to meet them where they are, and challenge them to be the best they can be. He is able to communicate Biblical truths in a way that is earthy, and speaks to positive change. Many men have grown and come to know Jesus as a result of his ministry." – Dr. Roy Smith, CEO of Pennsylvania Counseling Services and Author of Knights of the 21st Century
Steve Sabol is a veteran pastor with a true heart for God. His love for people, all people, is evident in his words and actions. God has directed his focus, at this point in his life, on men. Steve's desire to see men come to Christ and see their lives transformed to be the men God designed them to be is clearly seen in the virtually every area of his life. He meets men in every stage and condition in life. Whether that be middle class church attending guys, men whose choices have landed them in prison, or young men who are still in school. He writes a daily challenge to men to be the Knights God designed them to be that touches 1000's of men whether they be 14 or 84. The impact he has had on his denomination, especially in the area of men's ministry, is almost unprecedented. However, the most significant effect of Steve's life to me personally is his devoted friendship and wisdom. – Rev. Keith Walker, Men's Ministry Director and Teaching Pastor at LCBC Church, Lancaster, PA

The Occult Review
As society was still left reeling from the Cottingley Fairies incident the amount of articles on fairy folklore rose exponentially. This refreshed interest in our ancient lores and heritage started to uncover long forgotten traditions and records about fairies. One of the most popular magazines where you might find such information was The Occult Review published between 1905 and 1951. It contained articles and correspondence by many notable occultists and authors of the day, including Aleister Crowley, Meredith Starr and Walter Leslie Wilmshurst to name but a few.
Take this excellent feature from 1921, written only 4 years after The Cottingley Fairy photographs were taken. It covers the Cottingley incident in great detail but also incorporates other sightings and interactions with less attractive entities. It even points to a particular publication that is said to have preserved the elemental teachings of a very ancient faith. One that might still hold the key to unlocking the door to the world below...

Some people not only have one thing that they're passionate about, but they also happen to be incredibly gifted at that one particular thing. That sure makes it easy when it comes to making a decision about what to major in during one's four years in college. I've got one friend who's been writing since she was a kid; now she's an English major & there's no doubt in my mind that one day I'll see a book of hers on the New York Times Bestsellers list.
But what if your passions & your talents don't quite line up quite perfectly? Or what if you're incredible at a wide variety of things (people like that really do exist, I promise) & you're also passionate about them all? Or maybe if you just simply can't quite make up your mind about what to do. That's why there's such thing as a double major!
Before you question the concept of double majoring when you feel as though you can't even come up with one, hear me out. Personally, I came to college without any idea of what I wanted to be my major. I lived the "FUN-decided" college life & spent time thinking & praying about my future. After all my core classes & a semester abroad in Spain, I decided on two majors: History & Spanish. Just like it takes time for people to figure out what exactly they would like to major in, it takes time to figure out if & in what they'd like to double major.
It's also a fact that double majoring doesn't always make sense. If you're considering majoring in Biology & English Writing, you might want to also consider spending more than four years in college or sticking to just one major. However, when the departments of both potential majors are related, double majoring is not only doable, it's incredibly useful for your future.
One particularly practical route is double majoring in what you envision yourself doing with your life alongside a foreign language. Spanish, French, or German can serve the future journalist, historian or teacher well. Learning another language deeply broadens your horizons because you can use what you've learned to interact with countless more people. You will never regret learning something that opens up your life to more of the world.
You could also double major in any of the fine arts alongside whatever else you are considering for your future. A major in History or English ensures you are skilled at critical thinking as well as capable of writing well. The liberal arts certainly set you up for success in graduate or professional school & also translate over to success in any occupation.
The most common pairing, however, tends to be Biology & Chemistry. Double majoring in the sciences works well for anyone pursuing anything in the medical field. Whether that future in medicine looks like medical school, physical therapy school, or physician assistant school, a double major gives you more educational experience going forward. In this case especially though, it is crucial to talk to both of your advisors & understand the commitment that both majors require. Here are some reminders about double majoring here at MC to keep in mind:
- Both of your majors must be within the same degree. This just means that either both of the majors have to be a BA or they both have to be a BS.
- The hours for the second major cannot simply overlap with hours from your first major. You've got to get 30 unique semester hours for the second major. Hours also cannot be shared between majors & minors.
- If you are required to have a minor for your first major, you cannot just substitute a second major. You'll still have to declare a minor & get the required number of hours for it alongside double majoring. However, if your second major calls for a minor as well, you don't actually have to have two minors. Just one will suffice for both of your majors.
Beyond all the logistics though, the best piece of advice I can give is to just have a good, long conversation with your advisor before you take on another major. Double majoring is fantastic, but it is also a lot of work. It really isn't for the faint of heart. You've got to be able to balance two degree plans & commit to doing so for four full years. It's rigorous & demanding to say the least. Consider your priorities for your time in college: classes, friends, student government, tribes/clubs, etc. None of them are mutually exclusive, at least with good time management skills, but it's important that you choose what you can reasonably do to the best of your ability.
Double majoring is, simply put, an awesome opportunity to widen your education. You get to graduate from college with two different degrees. You put in the work & it's well worth it. From my own perspective as a double major, it's exciting & certainly appeals to the nerd in me. If it resonates with you too, then as you think about the classes you'll be taking next semester & schedule an advising appointment, take the time to have a conversation with your advisor about double majoring.
Best of luck!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Michelle Obama says she doesn't "trip" about her daughters watching "Keeping Up with The Kardashians."
The first lady said in an interview with iVillage that the girls "need to explore all of it: the great and the not so great" and "learn lessons from everything."
Mrs. Obama said she wants to raise her girls with "the tools to make judgments" and she hopes she's a good enough role model for them.
She called her daughters, 11-year-old Sasha and 14-year-old Malia, "pretty level-headed kids who can interpret stuff."
As for dating, she said "we're not in that territory yet," but she vows not to embarrass them by talking publicly about their social life.
She is serving as a guest editor this week for the women's website.

Great grilled Skirt SteakFrom midgelet 11 years ago
- skirt steak - 1 pound shopping list
- chili powder - 1 tablespoon shopping list
- ground cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon shopping list
- Large garlic clove - minced and mashed to a paste with 1 tsp coarse salt shopping list
- Worchestershire sauce - 2 teaspoons shopping list
- sugar - 1 teaspoon shopping list
- Freshly ground black pepper - 3/4 teaspoon shopping list
- allspice - 1/4 teaspoon shopping list
- vegetable oil or olive oil - 1 tablespoon shopping list
How to make it
- To start this skirt steak recipe, combine all spice rub ingredients (chili powder, cumin, garlic, Worchestershire, sugar, pepper, allspice and oil) in a bowl and mix completely.
- Rub spice rub all over meat, making sure to get it into all the nooks and crannies of the skirt steak.
- Seal in a plastic bag or other container, tightly sealed with as little additional air as possible.
- Marinate in refrigerator for several hours and up to 2 days. I prefer at least overnight for the flavors to really incorporate.
- Remove from refrigerator at least an hour before preparing to let it reach room temperature before cooking.
- Prepare a hot grill for this skirt steak recipe (you want direct, high heat to sear the steaks quickly).
- Season additionally with a sprinkling of coarse salt, as desired, just before grilling.
- Grill 3 to 5 minutes each side until just springy to the touch, for medium rare. Be careful cooking too much longer because since the skirt steak is thin it will cook through very quickly on a hot grill.
- Move meat to a platter and cover with aluminum foil. Let stand at least 5 minutes.
- Cut steaks into slices on the diagonal, against the grain of the meat.

We have had a very Royal week in Class 2! As a class, we wrote a letter to the Queen which today has been posted to Buckingham Palace to tell the Queen all about our last history topic. We ended the week today with a Royal tea party with Class 1. We ate jam scones and finger sandwiches and played pin the veil on the bride. Watch out for some photos of our party on the website soon.
This week the children in year 2 have been working extremely hard on their quizzes, while the years 1's have been equally working hard on creating, planning and writing their own story book.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy watching the Royal wedding.

Submitted by Jim Hurley on Monday, August 28, 2017 at 7:00 PM
It's becoming very clear that successful NFL handicapping during the 2017 season is going to involve fading teams who are in trouble at the quarterback position. There just aren't enough good quarterbacks to go around! Teams experimenting with various options through the Preseason haven't found much to get excited about. In fact, this past weekend's dress rehearsals basically confirmed that serious issues are ahead for many teams…even those expected to contend for at least Wildcard spots.
Among the contenders…
HOUSTON has given the starting job to Tom Savage. But, he mostly just completes short passes that don't threaten the end zone. He wasn't a major star at Rutgers, and is in the NFL because his body fits the prototype scouts look for. Can the Texans win with him? They have to score TD's with him first.
DENVER was hoping Paxton Lynch would take a step forward in the offseason. If anything, he took two steps backward, then hurt his shoulder as a backup vs. Green Bay. Trevor Siemian may be functional like Savage of Houston…but he's not going to scare opponents. When pressured by top opposition, he's likely to become mistake-prone.
BALTIMORE won't know how much Joe Flacco can contribute until he's back on the field. Is he becoming the new Tony Romo? Back problems never really go away at this level. Ryan Mallet is not the answer. Don't forget that Houston gave up on him!
INDIANAPOLIS is a playoff threat with Andrew Luck, and a #1 draft pick threat without him! Nobody knows when he'll be able to come back in regular season form.
ARIZONA was hoping last year was just a blip for Carson Palmer. But he's been inconsistent this summer, at a time when the team was looking for consistency. Even with a head start on the field because of a Hall of Fame game appearance, the offense hasn't been posting good yardage stats. Similar concerns are in play for teams with the same class of quarterback, even healthy…like WASHINGTON with Kirk Cousins, MINNESOTA with Sam Bradford, and maybe even CINCINNATI with Andy Dalton.
Now, that's not all the teams with concerns…those are just the possible CONTENDERS with concerns! All of those teams may be 2-3 points higher than they should be in oddsmaker Power Ratings because of uncertainty at the position. Consider fading them as favorites.
Moving down to teams who may be looking at five wins or less.
NY JETS are obviously already thinking about tanking the season to get a #1 pick next season. It's true that Bryce Petty has been acceptable against opposing backups. But, he tweaked a knee vs. the Giants, is "old" for a "young" quarterback, and isn't likely to be "the guy" looking down the road.
CLEVELAND announced Sunday that Deshone Kizer of Notre Dame is going to be its starter. He's capable of making plays here or there…but wasn't seen as a future pro "star" at Notre Dame. It's a fluke of circumstance that he's going to start for the Browns.
BUFFALO wasn't supposed to be this bad. But, they're not responding well to the new head coach. And, Tyrod Taylor just suffered a concussion this past weekend that exposes how soft the backups are at QB for the Bills. They look like a five-win team (or worse) all of a sudden.
LA RAMS are sticking with Jared Goff. He did look good vs. the Raiders two weeks ago, but slumped back to prior shaky form in LAR's dress rehearsal. This team could "improve" yet still be 4-5 win caliber.
CHICAGO is optimistic about Mitchell Trubisky, though Sean Glennon will be the starter out of the gate. If there's a team showing some promise amongst this group of losers, it's the Bears. Trubisky has shut his skeptics up, and may be ready to contribute sooner than expected.
SAN FRANCISCO is hoping Brian Hoyer can buy them some time to develop a better option. Other teams who thought that gave up on the plan!
Finally, there are two question mark teams from Florida that might be disasters this season…or might be surprise playoff threats. MIAMI made the playoffs last year, though it was largely keyed by close wins over a soft schedule. Jay Cutler knows the offense, but also tends to become mistake-prone when he goes into hero mode. JACKSONVILLE was better than its 3-13 record last year. Blake Bortles won his starting job back in the dress rehearsal. This season, it's the Jaguars who have the kind of soft schedule that could launch them to 8-9 wins even if the team isn't very good.
The most important quarterbacks won't be seeing action this week. So, it's time to turn what you know about the projected starters into opinions and picks for Week One of the regular season that begins a week from Thursday. JIM HURLEY already has some potential MONSTERS circled. He'll be building bankroll this week in the colleges to make sure you have a STUPENDOUS SEPTEMBER.

- President Donald Trump attacked China and Russia saying the countries are "playing the Currency Devaluation game."
- The tweet comes a few days after a report from the Treasury Department that did not name either country as a currency manipulator.
President Donald Trump attacked China and Russia for changes in their currency in a tweet Monday, in a peculiar attack that came despite the Treasury Department naming neither as currency manipulators.
"Russia and China are playing the Currency Devaluation game as the U.S. keeps raising interest rates," Trump said. "Not acceptable!"
The Treasury Department did not list either China or Russia as a currency manipulator in its semi-annual currency report released on Friday.
While the Treasury expressed concerns about the large trade deficit with China, the report only placed the country on its monitoring list. Russia was not named in the report, which examined the US's relationship with its 12 largest trading partners and Switzerland.
In the report, the Treasury did ding China for recent changes in their economy and urged the country to reduce government intervention.
"The increasingly non-market direction of China's economic development poses growing risks to its major trading partners and the long-term global growth outlook," the report said. "China should advance macroeconomic reforms that support greater household consumption growth and help rebalance the economy away from investment."
Additionally, in contrast to Trump's claim, the Chinese yuan has actually strengthened against the US dollar over the past year.
Trump's Twitter attack is the latest in a simmering trade battle between China and the US. Both sides announced tariffs against goods from the other country in the past month and warned that more could be on the way. For instance, the president said that the US may slap tariffs on an additional $100 billion worth of Chinese goods.

Sounds like my Manager. I'll kill that bastard with a baseball bat.
Maybe you misheard since he was in a car passing by? Maybe he was yelling "I got to poo poo!"
@Gaurav Rohilla you quoted me on something on some thread about night mode?
Yep. There was one user particularly using abusive language. I had some slangs added for him too. I think all of those have been taken down, and, I hope, he's now permanently banned from the forums.
You know, random impotent fcuks categorised as no lifers, what more could we expect from them?
That guy regularly uses abusive language in almost all my posts. I once had a heated argument with him and he was banned. I guess he is back.
You have a fan following? #lit
I have a lot of fan following. Ask the guys here.
@camohan especially knows how great my fan following is
You rock for most of the part, except for, sometimes, you know, forums police ethics like the "Mods"... Otherwise you're exceptional, indeed!
I can't stand the useless redundant posts. I know it's a lost cause, but I want the forum back to its old glory.
And thanks for the compliments!
Good luck.
No amount of good luck will help me. Like i told, it's a lost cause.
FTFY, bad grammer won't help you either. Right? @theshinybeast
Guess I have been slumming too much in these forums
You need to be banned for another two weeks.
No I'll take extra coaching classes from @theshinybeast
He's just a wannabe though.
Damn! Is it true @theshinybeast?

For the past several years one of my favorite writers, Neil Gaiman, has been heading up a REALLY fun tradition that he's started called 'All Hallows Read'. It's a fun little addition to the yearly Halloween festivities that focuses on spreading the love for scary stories and great horror books. As an avid horror reader (and watcher, my love for horror movies is deep and never-ending) I 110% support this fun tradition!
I've read so many great horror stories that it's hard to narrow things down, but I thought, in the spirit of All Hallows Read, I'd share some of my favorite books as well as a few favorite horror movies to help me get back on the horse with this whole blogging thing. I swear, for real, I'll start writing more often. But for now, let the scary begin!
Books –
- I am Legend by Richard Matheson – This one is a GREAT one. Terrifying in that it's not only a unique take on the 'scary illness takes over the world and changes EVERYONE' story, it is topped off by being narrated by the very LAST person on Earth! Perfect writing and the perfect story that sticks with you in your dreams. I can't think of anything more terrifying than that kind of loneliness. Excellent story.
- The Demon in the Freezer by Richard Preston – Since everyone is talking about Ebola, they're talking about Richard Preston's other fantastic book 'The Hot Zone', but, I believe this one is the more terrifying of the two. This one is deeply troubling. It's about Smallpox and the stranglehold it had on the world of the past and how incredibly dangerous it is and it could be. Preston is great about discussing the implications on the world if Smallpox were to escape the tightly regulated confines it's locked in and burn through our modern world that lacks any kind of immunity or vaccine to this incredibly deadly disease. Scary and real.
- Hell House by Richard Matheson – ANOTHER excellent work by Matheson. This one is DEFINITELY the scarier of the two, by far. Where as 'I am Legend' is terrifying in it's loneliness, this one is terrifying in it's presence. A group of paranormal researchers takes on a notoriously death dealing haunted house and finds our what it really means to be horrified. Matheson is such a raw writer and this is just perfectly chilling.
- The Handmaiden's Tale by Margaret Atwood – A world where women are no longer allowed to read, where a woman is at the mercy of her overseer. Where she's is only as valuable as her womb, her body and her charms. She is silent until she must please men. It's a terrifying peek into a future where men rule and women are prizes. Pieces of flesh to be traded and batted around at the whims of a world dominated by men. Enraging and chilling.
- Edgar Allen Poe – First of all, it needs to be this illustrated version. The illustrations are not only beautiful, but incredibly haunting. Poe is the only writer I've ever read that has managed to scare me enough to not want to read a story again. His stories and poems are haunting and beautiful as well as terrifying. Something that everyone should read.
- Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz – I was read this when I was in elementary school by the most incredible librarian of all time. She wore so many bangles on her arms that it sounded like bones rattling and I can still hear her whisper 'Taily bone, taily bone…'. Chills. Really. Still.
- The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman – The way women were treated by men in the past is just as terrible as the terrifying future presented by Atwood. After a terrible event brings on a case of depression, a woman is locked in a room with nothing to do other than slowly lose her mind.
Horror Books to Read –
- Anything Lovecraft – I'm not sure how this one happened, but I've haven't read a smidgen of Lovecraft, it's a downright TRAGEDY and it's going to be fixed. Like now.
- WAY more Stephen King. I've got several of his books under my belt but I'm not nowhere near as read up as I need to be. I want to take on his whole catalog, as he is truly a national treasure, I need to dive in.
- The Terror by Dan Simmons – I've read another book by Simmons, this one is supposed to be one of the horror greats, I'm excited to read it.
Movies –
A few favorites that are a little off the beaten path that I've seen lately. There are the staples (The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, The Shining, etc) that you can argue with, but there are also the little gems that you find every now an again when you're just cruising for a scary movie to watch on Horror Movie Saturday, an event in our house that I treasure dearly. Here are a few to catch:
- Killer Legends – A SUPER spooky documentary that goes through a few of the more common urban legends that a lot of American kids heard at one point or another. This is by the same people who filed Cropsey, P has seen it, but I haven't. He is NOTORIOUSLY difficult to creep out and he said Cropsey made it skin crawl and he had nightmares for several weeks after he saw it. Basically: GOLD.
- Skinwalker Ranch – A found-footage gem that gets under your skin right off the bat. This is one that just gives you the willies and forces you to pay attention throughout the whole film. Keep an eye on windows behind the subjects and such.
- Sinister – I had my doubts about this one and waited a really long time to watch it. Honestly though, creepy as HELL. At the end you kind of find yourself feeling really weird about the way the murders take place. I kind of love that.
- The Sacrament – If you grew up in a Christian household, as I did, this one is hits REALLY close to home. My family raised my brothers and I in a Southern Baptist church and a lot of what comes up in the movie is super familiar. It's the ending that made me sick. In a 'woah, I'm glad my parents were intelligent' sort of way. A really slow burn that is worth it.
- The Taking of Deborah Logan – This one came out of NOWHERE. Honestly. It just popped up in my suggestions for Netflix and P and I watched in Halloween night. Utterly TERRIFYING. Really. Watch it.
And for the three ultimate terrifying movies that a surprising amount of people haven't seen yet Insidious, The Conjuring and The Fourth Kind. These are part of a VERY small list of movies that I wont watch at night, by myself or for fun. They're just too much. I can point to specific scenes in each that make me jump out of my skin and freak me out in the middle of the day in a group of people. I love them all and recommend that completely, just watch with a friend, during the day so that you can do something fun afterwards.
There we have it! A late, but really fun to write list of my favorite spooks and creepers. Trust me, I love anything scary and seek it out all the time. Do you have anything you'd recommend? I'm always up for suggestions, and I cant count the times I've found myself without a good scary flick on Horror Movie Saturday. Help a gal out!

A New, Brighter Forge – One Of Miami's Best Restaurants
With a fresh décor, revised menu, top Miami chef and futuristic wine philosophy, restaurateur Shareef Malnik is taking his iconic hot spot to the next level.
The walls between the former Nouveau and Dome Rooms have been knocked down to create a new bar space adjacent to the dining room. When Shareef Malnik closed The Forge abruptly a year ago "for renovations," many suspected it was code for "the end." It's not as if a serious makeover for this stodgy landmark wasn't necessary. In fact, it was long overdue.
The former Miami Beach blacksmith workshop that had been transformed into a fine-dining establishment in the late '60s by attorney Alvin Malnik—and which boasted a roster of star customers as long as its 29,000-bottle wine list— needed more than a bit of Botox. Now, after a year of work, the result is bright and sophisticated, modern and extravagant—but still with a good dose of its former grandeur.
"We've gone from dark to light, literally," says Malnik, who took over the museum piece from his father in 1991 after a devastating fire. "I was saddled then with reinventing what people thought of as an old stuffy restaurant." He did it successfully then, and 19 years later, is now creating another metamorphosis.
As a symbol of the fresh, brighter style, Malnik swears that no flashlights will be required to read the menus in the newly spacious dining room. Gone, too, are the silver cloches, the tuxedoed waiters, the 12-foot-high Victorian fireplace and the dark oil paintings. And yes, the caged Australian finches in the women's bathroom have flown the coop: A former waiter took them home. Instead, a racy, larger-than-life Helmut Newton nude sprawls across the stall doors, a swimmer made from hand-blown glass bubbles hangs from the ceiling, and bulbs gleam at the makeup stations.
Malnik worked with designer Francois Frossard, but the vision is very much his own: "I wanted it to feel like a house—a very elegant house. But still comfortable and still The Forge." Replacing the antique-filled former décor are burnished golden-ash walls, low-slung white leather couches, deep basket-like chairs, handetched glass tabletops, Murano-glass chandeliers and gold-lamé wallpaper.
The whole space glows. What used to accommodate some 300 people sitting at tightly packed tables in six different rooms now holds 200 in one wide-open, flowing place. In place of the old bar is a 22-foot-long community table made of polished Indonesian tree trunk. The library, with its bright, stained-glass walls, looks the most like it did, though it too has been whitewashed and is outfitted with Wi-Fi.
The walls of the former Nouveau Room and Dome Room have been knocked out to create a shiny rectangular bar surrounded by 30 seats. "Who wants to sit at a bar and look at a wall?" asks Malnik, referring to the dark oak counter at which patrons used to jockey for a spot.
He's most proud of the gleaming Enomatic wine system, dispensers that can shoot out by-theounce selections from some 80 different bottles. Above them hang sleek flat-screen televisions. The dining room was designed in collaboration with Francois Frossard.
And in addition to specialty cocktails, dessert shots and a collection of 42 microbrewed beers, there is an interactive wine station in the area where the DJ used to play. There you'll find executive sommelier Gino Santangelo, who has been with The Forge for more than 30 years and has seen the museum-like cellar through some tragic times, including the loss of many vintage bottles after Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
"We don't want to intimidate people," says Malnik, regarding the new wine program. "Sommeliers came up to people with cups around their necks in tuxedos. The whole concept was flawed." Instead, he has devised a rather ingenious doit- yourself approach that even includes a customized iPhone app to keep track of customers' selections. It also helps with food pairings.
The Forge built its reputation as a steakhouse at a time when there weren't many others on the Beach. And though the restaurant has always been known as glamorous, food was not necessarily its high point. That reputation began to change when Malnik began to serve a fantastic 16-ounce New York strip "Super Steak." It garnered accolades as the number-one steak in America from Wine Spectator in 1996, and is still on the menu for $52 (other entrées are priced between $16 and $39). Also still available are the Giant U2 shrimp cocktail, flashy raw-bar sampler tower, crab cakes, Maine lobster, lobster bisque and chopped salad. For more than two decades, The Forge retained the same chef, Kal Abdalla, who created many of the restaurant's signature dishes. Finding the right fit after he left proved difficult.
Ultimately, Malnik grilled 172 toques—feeling "like a Top Chef judge," he says—before selecting Miami's own Dewey LoSasso. It was perfect timing for the chef, who had just closed his North One 10 restaurant in North Miami. A Jersey boy who had helmed Micky Wolfson's Foundlings Club in the 1980s as well as Tuscan Steak, LoSasso says he really gets Malnik's vision of maintaining classics while lightening things up.
His quirky brand of cooking (he used local sea grapes to make pepper jelly and cooked with mango-tree trunks after Hurricane Wilma) incorporates local ingredients in playful ways. "It's now the kind of place where you can come in and share a snack while you read through the menu, order a couple of pastas and then have a steak if you want," says LoSasso. "You don't have to have a full-blown meal. There really is something for every kind of diner."
That means—in addition to five kinds of grilled meat—there will be a lobster peanut butter and jelly sandwich, smoked-salmon croquettes with hot guava sauce, oyster po' boys, a short-ribtopped burger with pomegranate ketchup, sesame seared tuna with chile-lime sauce, prawn waffles with grilled carambolas, and crispy soba-wrapped shrimp. More healthful sides—including quinoa pancakes, farro risotto, braised endive, red lentils, kale polenta, sautéed spinach, and fava beans with wasabi caviar—join the regular baked potato and duck fries.
"They may be old-fashioned, but the soufflés had to stay," says Malnik. Updated flavors such as hazelnut, s'more, apple-cinnamon and pistachio are thanks to pastry chef Malka Espinel.
So will The Forge still attract the bejeweled babes and Dom Pérignon-guzzling celebrities? No more parties, says Malnik: "I've done that. I used to say that fun and fine dining were not mutually exclusive, but I've done a 180-degree turn. I don't want to be in the nightclub business anymore."
His goal, he says, is simple: "We're just trying to drop a lot of the pomp and circumstance, get rid of the pretentiousness. I just want to create a neighborhood bar and restaurant."
