A lot of time, energy and resources have been spent on raising awareness about the perils of smoking cigarettes and for rightful reason — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that cigarette smoking is responsible for 480,000 deaths in America each year. But one tobacco-related recreational activity has been overlooked in terms of health risks: hookah.
Hookah — also known as shisha and argileh — is a water pipe that used to smoke flavored tobacco. The flavors can come in a wide array of options ranging from chocolate and coconut to watermelon and apple. Smoking hookah is part of the culture in the Middle East and the Arab world, where hookahs are believed to have originated.
But a recent study from researchers at New York University (NYU) found that hookah activity has reached an all-time high in the United States: roughly one in five high school seniors — that's 18 percent — smoke hookahs. Published in the journal Pediatrics, the study surveyed 15,000 high school seniors from public and private schools around the country.
"Eighteen percent of students reported hookah use in the past year. Compared with white students, black students were at lower odds for use," found the researchers of the study. "High parent education increased the odds for use, and student weekly income from a job of >$50/week or $11 to $50 per week from other sources also increased odds for use. Males and urban students were also at higher odds for use, as were users of alcohol, marijuana, and other illicit substances. Former cigarette smokers were at higher risk, and current smokers were at highest risk for use."
The findings from the NYU study corroborate a recent CDC report, which found that while cigarette smoking was on a decline, other tobacco products (say, cigars and e-cigarettes) are on a rise. In fact, a 2012 report found a whopping 123 percent increase in smokable tobacco products like pipes and cigars.

High-level meeting discusses security situation
KABUL (PAN): Chaired by President Hamid Karzai, a National Security Council (NSC) meeting on Sunday discussed the overall security situation in the country.

After listening to the report, the participants directed security officials to protect the mines, help ensure an enabling extraction environment and prevent interference from 'irresponsible individuals and government officials'.
The foreign ministry was tasked with conveying the NSC decision regarding a ban on vehicles with tainted glasses to NATO, ISAF and diplomatic missions. The council asked the Ministry of Finance to prevent of the import of vehicles with tainted glasses.

PHILADELPHIA – Freshman Joseph Radin (Long Beach, N.Y.) had three goals and two assists and the Marist men's lacrosse team jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the second quarter, en route to a 14-6 non-conference win over Saint Joseph's on Tuesday night.
Connor Rice (Penfield, N.Y.) and Jack Doherty (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) each scored two goals and assisted on two others. Gannon Osborn (Canandaigua, N.Y.), given the honor of wearing jersey #34 to honor Eddie Coombs, had three points on two goals and an assist. Jim Marks (Camillus, N.Y.) had two goals and Drew Nesmith (Montclair, N.J.) and Mike Begley (Brookeville, Md.) each had a goal and an assist. Dave Scarcello (Buffalo, N.Y.) made 11 saves in goal for the Red Foxes. Matt Dugan (Cortland, N.Y.) was 16-23 on face-offs and tied a season-high with nine ground balls. Marist's man-down unit killed all eight opportunities it was faced with while the man-up offense converted on 3-5 of its chances.
Radin had a hand in each of the Red Foxes' (10-2) first four goals as Marist jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first five minutes, before Saint Joseph's could cross midfield with possession. Just 1:39 into the game, Radin set a pick for Rice, who ran around the right side of the cage while Radin snuck around the other side. Rice found Radin alone in front for a quick goal. Less than a minute later, Radin caused a Saint Joseph's (5-10) turnover on a clear attempt. After scooping up the ground ball, he attempted a pass for Dillon Walker (Wawa, Pa.) that missed its mark but bounced through to Vin Chiodo (Garden City, N.Y.) who ripped a shot for his third career goal. 41 seconds later Radin found Osborn, who bounced in a shot. Radin then returned the favor to Rice, finding him on a pass across the front of the goal for Rice to rip a tough-angle shot that put Marist ahead 4-0 with 10:43 left in the first quarter.
After killing off a minute-long penalty, Begley scored an unassisted tally at the 3:34 mark to put the Red Foxes up 5-0. Nesmith completed the first quarter scoring with a man-up goal on a pass from behind the cage from Doherty.
Goals by Marks, Doherty and Radin put Marist up 9-0 with 10:48 left on the clock in the second quarter.
After the Hawks got on the board with their first goal at the 8:39 mark, Doherty scored his second of the quarter, on an assist from Colin Joka (Conshohocken, Pa.) to make the score 10-1 with 5:13 left before halftime.
St. Joseph's scored the final three goals of the quarter to pull within 10-4 at the midway point.
Marks got the Red Foxes' offense rolling again with a goal just 91 seconds into the third quarter, converting a feed from Nesmith.
Osborn then extended the lead to 12-4 with an unassisted tally at the 6:46 mark of the third quarter. He received a pass before making several quick moves, with his stick and the ball outstretched, to get around his defender and create an open shot, which he buried to the goalie's left.
Radin and Rice traded goals with Saint Joseph's the rest of the way to provide the final margin.
Marist will finish the regular season on Saturday at Manhattan. The game time on Saturday has been changed to 5 p.m. The Red Foxes will be looking to complete a perfect 6-0 season in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) play and win the Regular Season Championship outright.

Suggestions for black tuner lug nuts
I got a set of Sparco rims from Tirerack (Thanks guys!) and I got the rings and splined nuts from them. In hindsight, I should have thought of finding black lug nuts right away.
Any suggestions on where I can get black lug nuts? Preferably something that has some security to it? I'm assuming splined is the way to go as opposed to standard hex.
Plenty of people running these and I've never heard of any problems. Light as hell and still steel. http://www.andysautosport.com/ford/2...g_nuts/muteki/
Stay away from aluminium.
seconding the Mutekis ^^^
had a set of the long open ones and loved em.
McGard and Gorilla make black tuner lug nuts as well. McGards are spline drive which require a special socket for installation and removal. That adds "some" security but are not foolproof.
Mcgards still shiny after a few years. My gorillas became rusted and dull. Recommend mcgards
I had full 16 set of locking Gorilla on MY Contour SVT for 13 years... In Winter with salted roads etc.. Not even close to having any sort of rust.
I now have set of 20 black Gorrila locking on my 2012 Focus with the 17" black painted wheels.
Personally i say rust on Gorilla locks is BS. [neener]
I bought a set of 20 black Gorilla lug nuts a few years ago and they still look great. I bought 20 so I'd have some spares, only a few bucks more than the 16 pack.
Just paint the ones you have..............
A quick question about how do you know which lug nuts to get for your new rims and what style are these stock? My old car had open ended m12x1.5 "acorn" seat lugnuts. I have a set of team dynamics wheels coming, not sure what lug nuts to buy.
i have some in the BST sections for sale

When health care workers heal a patient, they often don't get a chance to see how the patients do after they leave the hospital.
And the patients don't always get to thank all of the men and women who saved their lives.
But Friday afternoon, two patients who suffered what would surely have been a life-altering — if not life-ending — heart attack got the opportunity to tell the men and women who worked together to save their lives how they feel.
Physicians, nurses and EMTs from the 17-county region attended the Northeast Georgia Health System's fifth annual STEMI Summit meeting Friday at the Gainesville Civic Center.
The summit's goal is to provide medical personnel with the opportunity to discuss ways they can work together to increase a patient's odds of recovery and to learn from leading cardiologists. The summit focuses on a specific type of deadly heart attack, a ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.
One of the best practices discussed at the summit included continuing the practice of cooling a patient's body to slow vital functions and oxygen use to prevent brain damage.
The Medical Center Foundation's 2010 golf tournament provided the funding for refrigeration systems for rescue vehicles to use for heart attack victims.
Both patients at Friday's event were given the treatment during their heart attacks.
Dr. Mohak Davè, medical director for North Georgia Region 2 and White County EMS, introduced the two survivors and their families to the EMTs, nurses and physicians who each had a role in the patient's survival.
Davè said that while it's important to learn the science and protocols behind cardiac care, "the most important thing is the 'why.'"
The reason why was evident as the survivors and their families climbed the stage to shake the hands and hug the men and women who saved them.
Rex Sims suffered a heart attack in November. As he shook the hands of the more than 10 health care professionals, he couldn't help but let a few tears fall.
"I'm just so grateful that they went to school to learn this stuff, to be caregivers," Sims said.
His sister, Rhonda Palmer, thanked the crowd of more than 300 for caring enough about their patients to continue their education and attend events like the summit.
She said she's thankful to all of the people who have dedicated their lives to helping others for the days she's been given with her brother.
Sims said the near-death experience has given him a new perspective on life. He notices more than he did before.
"I smile because it's raining," Sims said.
Melvin Reeves had a similar heart attack in August. He said the hospital personnel who helped him after his ordeal are nothing if not angels.
"It's great to be alive, Reeves said. "It really is."
Kelly Sisson and Lauren Wilson, registered nurses at the Ronnie Green Heart Center, said the reunion was especially nice for them because they get very close to patients and their families.
Sisson said that it's easy to remember all of the bad outcomes and sometimes forget about the people they have helped.
"It's really cool because we don't get to see them after they leave," Sisson said. "We don't get to see the progress they make and how healthy they look."
The nurses said they couldn't help but hug their former patients when they saw how well they'd recovered.
Wilson said it was eye-opening even for her to see how many people are involved with a single patient's care, from the ambulance to the emergency room and in recovery.
"That was a really good thing to see," Sisson said. "It's not just the doctors. It's not just the nurses. To see everybody up there it was almost shocking to see everybody that put their expertise in."

MCHS track coaches looking to build team's strength
March 25, 2011
Coaches: Lance Scranton and Todd Trapp
Returning state qualifiers: 5 (Alfredo Lebron, Johnny Landa, Miguel Molina, Lauren Roberts and Maddy Jourgensen)
Athletes to watch:
• Junior Alfredo Lebron took seventh place at the 4A state meet last year in the 3,200 meters.
• Senior Lauren Roberts, Trapp said, will be counted on in all three jumps — long, high and triple.
• Senior Maddy Jourgensen was just off the MCHS record for the 3,200 meters in her fourth-place finish at last year's state meet.
Moffat County High School varsity track and field team's remaining schedule:
Date Place Event/Host March 26 Away Mickey Dunn Invitational
April 2 Away Central High School
April 14 Away Tiger Invit. (Lakewood)
April 15 Away Coal Ridge High School
April 22 Away Fuita Monument H. S.
April 29 Home Clint Wells Invitational
May 6 Away Tiger Invit. (Junction)
May 7 Away Tiger Invit. (Junction)
May 13 Away Regionals @ Mesa State
May 14 Away Regionals @ Mesa State
May 19 Away State Meet
May 20 Away State Meet
May 21 Away State Meet
For Todd Trapp, the Moffat County High School girls varsity track team head coach, success for this year's team has to start with his seniors.
Britteny Ivers, Maddy Jourgensen and Lauren Roberts have been on the track team all four years, Trapp said.
In their final year, Trapp said he expects big things.
"The three seniors have been very athletic their entire high school career," he said. "They will definitely be the leaders of the team this year."
Jourgensen and Roberts qualified for the 4A state meet last season. Jourgensen ran the 800 meters, 1,600 meters and the 3,200 meters and Roberts competed in the long jump.
Trapp said he wouldn't be surprised if Ivers joined them this year at the state meet May 19, 20 and 21.
"I have seen progress in the last couple of seasons with Britteny in her jumping events," he said. "She has made a huge gain in her triple jump."
Trapp said Roberts and Ivers are great sprinters for the team as well.
Along with the three seniors, 10 other athletes from last season are returning.
With a solid core this year, Trapp said many individuals would be able to contribute to the team.
"We have a lot of different kids who all work hard and all put forth a great effort," he said. "I hope to get big things from everyone."
While being the head coach of the girls team, Trapp mainly focuses on both the boys and girls distance runners in practice.
To get his runners ready for meets, Trapp said he starts from the bottom.
"Some kids had the winter off or played other sports, so I really have to work on getting their strength back," he said. "We work on aerobic fitness and build the speed as the season goes on."
Trapp said he has the athletes start at a 20- to 25-minute run and build on that as the season progresses.
"We have to get the kids ready to compete and run," he said. "Whether it is distance or sprints, we start at the bottom and over the course of the season they get faster."
Lance Scranton, coach of the MCHS boys varsity track team, said some of his strongest runners are the guys who practice with Trapp.
Juniors Alfredo Lebron, Johnny Landa and Miguel Molina all qualified for the state meet last year.
Lebron placed seventh in the 3,200-meters and Landa finished 14th in the same event.
"Alfredo, combined with Miguel and Johnny, should make a solid core," Scranton said. "We also have senior Tyler Brost, who is a sprinter for the team."
Scranton mainly works with the throwers during practice, and said senior Gage Spears and junior Garrett Spears will help lead that squad.
In the first couple of meets, Scranton said working on technique was just as important as the final results.
"The early meets are where the kids can work on their technique and set the mark for the season," he said. "The athletes set a lot of personal goals and they can work toward them early on."
The boys team won a share of the Western Slope League title last season after tying Glenwood Springs High School in the League Championships.
Scranton said he told his team when the season started they were aiming for the same goal this year.
"I told the guys we did something last year that had not been done in many years when we were co-champions of the Western Slope League," he said. "We have the same goal this year and we have the talent to do it.
"Our league will have strong competition, but we are a really good team."

Beware the extended slide release.
Make sure that your thumb doesn't touch it, when you place it on the safety lever.
Here are the pics of the Gun I bought on tuesday 06/12/2012 here are the features it comes with Model # AC45G2C caliber 45 A.C.P. frame 4140 steel with a polished feed ramp slide 4140 hammer forged steel with a lowerd & flared ejection port sight novack style rear dovetail front three dot sight front & rear cocking serrations match grade slide to frame fit hard crome finish match grade barrel & barrel bushing hammer forged steel barrel with a polished & thoated chamber beavertail grip safety tactical right hand only thumb safety extended slide relase extended mag relase three hole trigger commander hammer 8rd mag by act mag with a bumper pad you can look this gun on bersa web sight click on the pic with the 1911 on it
Beware the extended slide release.
Make sure that your thumb doesn't touch it, when you place it on the safety lever.
thankyou I like the extended slide relase it a plus for me I have short thumbs & it hard for me to relase the slide with a standard slide relase that what I like about the extended slide relase & extended mag relase it great for guys like me with short thumbs from what I've been hearing & reading about it it should run like a sewing maching I had one before the only reason I don't have it now & bought this one I traded for a gun S&W don't make any more a model 66 .357 Magnum 4 inch barrel I have a magazine article about it was rated as the best gun to buy on a beer budget I don't drink beer but I'm on beer budget LOL marine if it ok with you I would like to put bigger pics of it on here if it don't take up to much space on this formun I will also put pics of my model 66 & if I can find that magazine I will tell which one & what page the article start on
If you are right-handed, and you use both hands to hold the pistol, and you use the slide-lock (instead of "sling-shotting"), then I suggest that you learn to use your left-hand thumb to manipulate the slide-lock lever.
In that case, I also suggest that you switch to the normal-length slide-lock lever.
Whenever I find it possible, I do my best to count the rounds I'm firing.
I like to leave one round in the gun's chamber, while doing a quick reload.
That does two good things:
If you are attacked while switching magazines, you have one quick shot available to you, no matter what the condition of the gun is, and
You neither need to use the slide-lock, nor do you need to "sling-shot" the slide.
I suppose that, in the middle of a real street war, I will find it very difficult to remember to count my rounds.
But it was not terribly difficult, under the pressure of an IPSC/SWPL match.
That's a handsome looking gun. I'm a big fan of stainless.
Steve I had a Colt 1991 A1 & I put an extended slide relase on it myself & never ingauge the slide relase by mistake while I was shooting it & I put a 1000 rounds through it I'm not trying to be rude but if I don't know how to manupliate a 1911 by now where to put my fingers & thumbs at while I am shooting it I midas well just carry a big knife & hope the other guy don't have a gun & that I'm quicker than him
Here are the same pics just bigger so you can see the gun better.
Although you may have lots of experience, I didn't know that.
Even though you may have lots of experience, that doesn't preclude you from learning something from me. Nor does it preclude me from learning from you.
If I were to begin with the assumption that you already know all the things I may offer you, then I wouldn't offer you anything. Would that be a better method?
I was taught that, when someone offers me advice, I should listen politely, and then say, "Thank you."
I was also taught that I needn't ever use the advice I'd been given. My only duty was to listen politely and to say, "Thank you."
(It was also acceptable to say, "I already know that, but I thank you for offering it to me.")
I found that article I was talking about it is in American Handgunner March / April 2012 issue Beer Budget 1911 it start on page 50 & continues on page 88 there was some other 1911 in that article as well
Sorry Steve & thanks for the advise
Revisiting this thread.I was at the gun show today and one thing on my hunt list was a decent 1911( meaning not high end custom) and ran across a good deal on one of these.Actually of the ones I looked at today this one really stuck out to me as a pretty good bang for the buck. Im just wondering how it is working out for you.Anybody else have experience with this gun? Ive done a search so far havent come up with much in the way of actual user comments. My local Acadamy Sports carries these and according to them,they cant keep them in stock.Thanks.
My Government Model has about 1,000+ rounds thru it, and it has been 100% reliable. It has shot all kinds of ammo and used cheap $5.97 mags from Cheaper Than Dirt up to a Wilson Combat mag. It has been accurate from the start and darn fun to shoot.
Best bang for your buck! No malfs through 1000+ rounds. Near custom fit. Very accurate.
I cut the wide paddles off with a dremel coutoff disc. They are now 1/8" wide or less.
The American classic line is a nice line of 1911s. You can make a very good gun out of them. Out of the 8 1911s I have 3 of them are American classics. Out of the box they are not that bad, I put a wilson combat barrel and bushing, along with a new hammer and trigger in the blued version of your gun. After everything was said and done I have about 700 into the weapon. It is very nice and well fitted pistol.
I really like mine. I put stag grips on mine. It has not FTF.
Since my last post my Gov't model is looking at about 3000 rounds and it is still performing 100%.
Which means I can't use this pistol for malfunction practice!

The Padres had a .480 on base percentage on Wednesday. Brian Giles appears to be ready for a great season. He already has eight RBI's after two games – driving in five on Wednesday. He also drew two walks, another great sign for the on base machine.
Ramon Hernandez walked three times – the first time he has ever walked that many times in one game.
Now the fun begins. Can the offensive onslaught sustain the trek down the hill and down to sea level?
Ryan Klesko had the day off so there is no whining excuse about the ballpark dimensions. He should be plenty rested to get those extra five feet and over the wall.
A slow start at the plate this weekend could linger through the year – and we are talking team-wide.
The crowd should be jamming this weekend with Jason Bay and Oliver Perez coming back to town – but more importantly is Jake Peavy on the hill. He is the catalyst the Padres need to take their game to the next level.
The season has begun and the San Diego Padres left a promising start in the clouds of Mile High.
Adding insult to injury, four Padres' minor leaguers were suspended, two of which were released by the team.
Trevor Hoffman was 41-for-45 in 2004 and his 393 saves ranks third on the all-time list, 85 behind leader Lee Smith.
His .8911 save percentage entering the year trailed only Eric Gagne's .9620 and John Smoltz' .9167 as the best in all of baseball.
So when he blew a save in the opening game on Monday against the Colorado Rockies, it was quite a shock.
"This is an important win, the first game out of the chute," Hoffman said. "We have to nail that one down. That part of it is frustrating."
And the Padres are in the hole 0-1.
At least the Friars have Xavier Nady. What took so long to figure it out?
MadFriars Farm Report:
Thirty-eight players were suspended for violating "Major League Baseball's Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program" against performance-enhancing substances (steroids and steroid precursors).
In total, 925 tests were conducted at the Minor League camps in Arizona during the 2005 Spring Training and includes one positive test from off-season testing. Random unannounced testing will continue to be conducted throughout the Minor League season.
Four members of the Padres organization were suspended and two have been released.
Right-hander Clay Hensley was let go after a superb spring, according to one Padre official. He was slated to begin the year in Portland.
Jacobo Meque, a left-hander signed recently, was released before making his debut in the system.
Kervin Jacobo, re-signed after being waived by Seattle, will miss 15 games after being suspended. He was slated to begin the year in Lake Elsinore.
Nate Sevier, a promising right-handed reliever slated for Mobile, was replaced on the roster by lefty Craig Breslow. He will miss 15 games while he serves his suspension.
The Padres open the season in Colorado, two days after the Rockies lost to their minor league affiliate, Colorado Springs. That has to be a sign, right?
The Friars were 9-10 versus the Rockies last year, going 6-3 at Coors and 3-7 at home. All-time, they trail the series 85-90, going 39-46 in Colorado.
But this is a different year, right? Colorado can't even beat their minor league affiliate. If the Padres lose, they are therefore not pennant worthy and worse than Colorado Springs - by rationale that only I can imagine.
Woody Williams will take the hill on Monday, marking the second time he has been the opening day starter for the Padres (2001). Irony indeed.
Williams is hoping to reverse the trend of Padres' openers. They are 16-20 to open the year, 7-12 on the road.
The right-hander, acquired via free agency, went 11-8 with a 4.18 ERA last year for St. Louis.
If the Padres are serious about pennant aspirations, they need everything Williams has and more.
Adam Eaton will get the nod in game two, after an off-day. He has faced the Rockies more times than any other opponent (18 starts). He went 1-4 against Colorado in 2004, allowing 28 runs in 29 innings of work.
A year older and a year wiser?
Eaton is the key to the season from a rotation standpoint. He has the talent of a 20-game winner and it would be nice to see him blossom this year.
It wasn't even fair. Lake Elsinore vs San Diego. The Storm vs the Padres. In another city, they were saying the same thing. Colorado Springs vs. Colorado. While the Friars dispatched the Storm 15-4, Colorado Springs beat the Rockies 5-1.
Bring on the opener! And we aren't talking about cans either - unless it is a cold one.
On Saturday, five Padres hitters had two or more hits with Sean Burroughs pacing the club with four. Mark Sweeney and Brian Giles were perfect on the day, 3-for-3 apiece.
The Storm players, meanwhile, had their moments.
Peeter Ramos, Steve Baker and Fernando Valenzuela Jr. each had two hits and the team left 12 men on base.
Superstar in the making, George Kottaras, homered in the fourth inning off Jake Peavy and Brett Bonvechio also homered off Peavy.
Keep an eye on California native Leo Rosales. He was the only pitcher not to allow a baserunner to the parent club.
Edgar Huerta, however, allowed four runs in one-third of an inning.
It is good to see Javier Martinez back on the mound. He is one of the more talented prospects in the system that you may have forgotten about. He missed all of 2004 due to injury.
It was a surprise to see Clark Girardeau on the Fort Wayne roster. It seemed a certainty that he would begin the year in LE. He should be back with the Storm soon enough.
Fabian Jimenez has loads of talent and is still only 18 years old. Seeing on the Fort Wayne roster will be a challenge and the Padres believe he can excel at it. He struggled some last year but the front office is very high on him.
The outfield in Fort Wayne may be one of the best defensive outfields assembled. Ruben Mora and Yordany Ramirez sport the top two outfield arms in the system.
Edgar Huerta was supposed to be challenging for a bullpen spot in San Diego. Health problems shelved him several times last year and the closest he will be to San Diego is Lake Elsinore.
Wilmer Villatoro got caught in a numbers crunch it appears. The Mobile bullpen is looking stellar and Villatoro will be with the Storm again after a dominating 2004. A definite surprise.
No surprise, but Kervin Jacobo is back. The Mariners tried to convert him to a pitcher but it appears he will be heading to third base. The one issueis Brett Bonvechio plays third as well - so that poses a problem.
R.D. Spiehs isn't happy. That is what I think. He had a great year in Mobile and is back in Double-A this year. He will anchor one of the best bullpens the Padres' minors has ever assembled.
The Mobile team should have plenty of power, but little speed. They have four players that could hit 20 homers or more.
Like the dirt that Adam Hyzdu is munching on in this day's story picture, we have again been fed talk without substance.
Johnson batted .400 in his time with the Friars this spring. He was annointed as an up and comer but he will be in Portland to begin the year, clearing the way for Hyzdu, a 33-year old righty with 190 career games and a .233 career average.
At least Darrell May showed some backbone with a great outing - but too little, too late and into the bullpen he goes. Outside of Hoffman, Linebrink, Otsuka and Seanez, here is to hoping no one else gets the ball.
The spring was a success. Kevin Towers says so:
"It's one of the better springs we've had. Knock on wood - we haven't had any really major injuries, just more minor things, and that's good."
Actually, after two losing springs in 2003 and 2004, the Padres are back on the winning side, going 17-14 this spring.
See you in Lake Elsinore!
One start does not make a career, but the signs were encouraging on Wednesday. Tim Redding went six innings and allowed two runs on six hits to get the victory in his debut performance for the Padres.
The victory ensured Redding will be penciled in as the fifth starter in the rotation. For now, his name will remain in pencil, as has many a fifth starter over the past year in San Diego.
"They came to Houston and plucked me out of there," said Redding. "I'm grateful for that. I'm going to try my best, like I always do, but there's just a little extra motivation because it's a brand-new start here."
Redding has been enthusiastic about the trade and has already warmed to San Diego without actually being in San Diego.
A reason the Padres have brought back players who grew up in the area in recent years is because of the exuberance to show their best at home and Redding seems to already have that fire, even if he is from New York.
Perhaps I should go grumble in a corner over the prospects being overlooked. I can always come out when Redding has a rough outing.
Speaking of San Diego, the Friars hosted the Aztecs on Wednesday and Woody Williams looked like a number one starter, albeit against a college team. He allowed two hits in five innings of work.
Nady continues to pour it on, driving in two runs with a single. The one disappointment was the size of the crowd, perhaps half full for the exhibition game.

The S.C. Legislature re-elected eight members of the Francis Marion University Board of Trustees to four-year terms by acclamation this week.
The members returning to the board were James Mark Bunch of Gaffney; L. Franklin Elmore of Greenville; R. Tracy Freeman of North Augusta; William R. Gunn of Columbia; Kenneth W. Jackson of Florence; Floyd L. Keels of Lake City; Robert E. Lee of Florence; and Mark S. Moore of Mt. Pleasant.
Though all are incumbents, the re-elected board members bring varying degrees of experience to their next term. Jackson and Lee were re-elected to their fifth terms and Elmore to his fourth. Freeman and Gunn were elected to their second terms. Bunch, Keels and Moore were just elected to the board last year.
Dr. Luther F. Carter, FMU's President, says the experience and abilities of the members who were re-elected will serve the university well in the years ahead.
"The re-election of this group speaks to the quality of our board," says Carter. "Francis Marion University has benefitted, and will continue to benefit, from its leadership. Quite frankly, this is the strongest governing board in the state of South Carolina."
Representation on the FMU board is divided between members representing South Carolina congressional districts and at-large seats. Bunch, Keels, and Moore were re-elected to district seats. Elmore, Freeman, Gunn, Jackson and Lee were re-elected to at-large seats.
The 21-member board (including two emeriti members) meets quarterly and is charged with overseeing the effective governance of the college.

" Type: Lip Brush / Brand: Boots / Suitable for: Lip "
Make-up is something that I wear on a daily basis. I usually wear a lighter version of my night-time make-up and so when heading out for the evening I can just top everything up and add a little twist. Then if I have been at work all day I am able to get ready for a night out quite quickly. I like to look after my skin and so I use make-up brushes as this means that I am not using hands which might spread dirt and germs around my face. I like to use nice brushes to ensure that they are long lasting and that I get a nice effect.
I keep my brushes together in a little bag and I've had some of them for a good year or two now. I like to give them a rinse every month or two and leave to dry naturally overnight before I use them again. Just to make sure everything is hygienic and this leaves me feeling quite confident that I am doing all that I can to look after my skin.
This brush currently sells in Boots for around £7.00 however I believe I paid just £1.00 or £1.50 thanks to having a £5 off No 7 voucher (who doesn't love those?!). This is a lip brush that is quite simple in design. It is a blacky brown coloured brush for gold detailing and says 'Essential Lip Brush' on the handle. The bristles are quite short and fine and there are lots of them. Overall it looks quite simple and I guess the appearance really is similar to any other lip brush, regardless of price. I probably wouldn't have wanted to pay almost £7.00 for it until I'd been able to use it which of course you can't do without buying so I guess I'd not have got this if it wasn't for the £5 off No 7 voucher.
This brush is easy to hold on to and feels quite comfortable to hold. Obviously I only use this for a few minutes a day but generally the feel of it is smooth and it is easy to hold. This looks simple yet stylish and I don't mind if people see me using this to apply my make-up (say at work if I'm running late in the morning). The bristles are shaped in to a rounded square that reminds me of the shape of a manicured fingernail. I always reshape these bristles after I have washed this brush just to ensure that they stay in the shape that works for my lip application.
I use this lip brush to apply lipstick and lip balm. I don't use it for lip gloss as I tend to just apply that directly from the tube. I use this to apply lipstick all over my lips and I apply it over the top of a lip coating or similar product to allow my lipstick or lip balm to stay on for as long as possible. I will say that my lipstick lasts for hours now, regardless of what brand I use, and I feel that this has been helped by me using a lip brush. I like that I can ensure an even coverage and that I can then rub my lips together and be ready for a day or night away from home. I find it easy to apply the lipstick or lip balm to my lip shape now and the brush allows me to do neat edges and fill in any worn or missed bits throughout the day should I need too.
Overall I have been very pleased with this lip brush. There has been minimal loss of bristles so far with just a few falling out and I actually use mine almost every single day of the year. I find it simple to apply lipstick and it stays put and lasts long so this brush gets a 5/5 from me.
I bought this lip brush from Boots, where it cost me £6.64 and gained me 24 points on my advantage card.
I was drawn to the brush because I thought it looked really professional; the design is quite simple, it is slim and long with a shiny black handle and gold writing on it, and a gold part before the bristles, but in my opinion the design really works and is effective.
The bristles are shaped perfectly so that when I apply lip stick using this brush I can put it on extremely neatly and accurately, without getting it on my teeth or around my mouth, because of the straight precision of the bristles.
The bristles are also quite soft which means the brush is gentle and does not stratch my lips.
I wanted this because I hate putting lip stick on straight from the tube. I know that might sound a bit OCDish but I think it looks much better when it has been applied using a brush. Somehow the result and feel of putting it on this way makes my make up look and feel much more professional and it gives me more confidence in my day to day life.
The brush, overall, is really great in my opinion. It is very reasonably priced, looks professional and also works really well. I'm pleased with the item and would definitely recommend it to others.
Go on give it a try!
Thanks for reading xo
*As with my previous No7 brush review I must have the older/newer brush design aas my brush although it is the same size and shape has a pearly pink handle and a brown brush. They are designed for the same purpose though.*
This is another brush I found whilst randomly clearing out my make-up cases and this one I really had forgotten I own as Im always complaining that I cant find a lip brush or applicator as I dont like getting gloss or balm on my hands or fingers. So basically a product like this is an essential item for me as I wear lipgloss on a daily basis and I need something to apply it with but this is better than your ordinary, bog standard lip brush I reckon.
Useful Information:
Price: £6.50
Stockists: Boots
Promises perfect application of lip colour every single time you use it.
The brush is quite a good length and although it is skinny you can still get a proper grip around the handle so your not putting gloss all over the place. I think the design of this and all No7 brushes are simple yet stylish and effective they certainly look great on my dressing table anyway and they definately do the job! The brush is actually quite simliar to the picture however mine looks slightly more rounded and curved at the top and if anything a tiny bit slimmer. I reckon they have changed the design of the brush to fit your lips better and therefore make application much easier but I cant be totally sure.
Now this brush can be used to apply literally anything to your lips whether that be gloss, balm or actualy lipstick as Ive used it for all of those things and it works just as well whatever product your applying. I think this helps make a colour gloss/lipstick look a lot more even on your lips and it makes sure you have got too much colour on which with me can be a real problem especially with lipstick but when using this I dont have that issue at all. It also helps glide on gloss better, I think it makes lips appear less dry and therefore the colour doesnt sink in and exaggerate that and it just makes applying anything so much easier. You can get a really perfect lip shape with this brush as it seems to curve and fill exactly where you need it to without anything going on the skin around your mouth. If your looking for something to help give you a perfect Cupids Bow & a polished pout then this is definately a must have for your make-up bag.
The price of this may seem a little high as it is only a brush but I think its worth every penny. My lips look mch better wen I use this rather than my fingers or a sponge applicator and I will continue using it until all the bristles fall out LOL. Highly recommended.
Oh! And before I forget this brush does tend to get dirty quite quickly especially if you wear very bright/dark lip colour but it can be wiped down quickly with a baby wipe. I do recommend washing it properly when you get the chance though.
Thanks For Reading

For elementary school children, talking about families is an important part of making sense of the world and their relationship to it. Many students in primary grades are realizing for the first time that their family might look different from someone else's. Older elementary students can become sensitive about describing these differences and are also frequently dealing with changing relationships within their own families as they develop a deeper understanding of themselves as individuals.
These lessons provide a framework that will help students talk about their own and others' families in safe, caring ways. The lessons make use of artistic outlets and story-telling to help children both construct and learn language for asking about other families and talking about their own. The overarching goal of the lessons is to build classroom community by helping students see that where they come from is valued and respected, and that diverse families are a big part of what helps enrich our world.
Additional Resources
Talking about our different families is one part of discussing and becoming comfortable with the richness of a diverse classroom. Other lessons around this theme include Quilting Our Diverse Classroom and Controversial Subjects in the Classroom.
There are also children's books addressing issues involving different types of families, including but by no means limited to The Family Book by Todd Parr, In Our Mothers' House by Patricia Polacco, And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson, Uncle Bobby's Wedding by Sarah S. Brannen, and ABC: A Family Alphabet Book by Bobbie Combs.

Quantitative finance makes heavy use of mathematics to model various parts of finance in the real world. If you are interested in using F# for your day-to-day work or research in quantitative finance, this book is a must-have.
This book will cover everything you need to know about using functional programming for quantitative finance. Using a functional programming language will enable you to concentrate more on the problem itself rather than implementation details. Tutorials and snippets are summarized into an automated trading system throughout the book.
This book will introduce you to F#, using Visual Studio, and provide examples with functional programming and finance combined. The book also covers topics such as downloading, visualizing and calculating statistics from data.
F# is a first class programming language for the financial domain.
The approach is to guide you as a reader from the basics of functional programming and F# to more complex tasks using tutorials and a lot of code examples. As you gain more confidence through out the book, you will be able to modify and write your own code to solve various problems in finance.
If you are a practitioner of quantitative finance, economics, or mathematics and wish to learn F#, then this book is for you. You may have a basic conceptual understanding of financial concepts and models, but no previous knowledge is expected.

Sets new high in Programming for Finance

Comments about oreilly F# for Quantitative Finance:
F# for Quantitative Finance by Johan Astborg is an awesome read even if you don't know much about Quantitative Finance (Mathematical Finance), or very little, just like myself. I actually became fascinated about the F# as a Functional Langauge. My obsession progressed as I went further through the several first chapters realizing more and more how much the language from Microsoft Research has to offer to a next-gen programmer, minus the affliction about what Visual Studio exposes (which is zilch) to allow building neat UIs in F# (I know, the language prefix 'Visual' in its name IS missing, so it is hard to blame Visual Studio). Be aware, this book dedicates about half to the F# language particulars solely that by the way are very worth reading. Luckily (or not), no in-depth knowledge of math is necessary.The second half of the book builds on top of what you learned about F# and unfolds into a full fledged trading application (no kidding!). In my humble opinion, the author is a little shy about the application built in the book, and I think this is unjustified. Perhaps this is due to the fact the application's look is not what would one expect to see at a broker's station, but hey, only this little can be covered in a single book. The author seems to have even been overdelivering building a World-class application with a test harness and bringing a number of suggestions how to further improve it potentially making it enterprise ready.Anyhow, you may have a live Volatility Arbitrage system at your disposal (if you pay Packt ~ $23 and read till the before-last chapter), and then who knows, may be you are the next millionaire! :-)Now back to Earth, if you do know enough about Quantitative Finance, but not much about F#, likewise, this is your book for sure, too. I suspect that if you know how to program in any language, and don't know either F# or Quantitative Finance, this is book must be quite approachable by you, as well.In terms of closing, I was thrilled reading this book feeling I am an integral part of building something bleeding edge useful out of carefully crafted re-usable blocks of code, as expressing formulas in F#, trying code in REPL, persisting data, charting cool graphs, and more. Frankly, at times it felt pretending fulfilling a commercial assignment. On the negative note, the book's code has bugs, easy to spot, and mostly fix. It may be a good idea to learn this way, but it depletes your time not exactly productively. I suggest you simply look beyond them.I hope a new lucky reader will have as much fun as me with this book, it was hard to put it off!5 out of 5 goes to Johan.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Three weeks ago my sister Kat went into anaphylactic shock.
I knew, without question, that a phone call at 3:30am meant someone was in trouble. Fortunately, she was already at the hospital recovering and her friend was by her side; the baby was due to wake up for a feed so it was close to 5:30 by the time I got to her.
Her reaction came on slowly, over a few hours and although she knows she's allergic to hazelnuts and latex, she has still been unable to determine exactly what caused the reaction. She was in pretty rough shape and home from school for a week, though I think she's pretty much recovered now.
Anaphylaxis is scary. I hope the boy will never have to fully experience it, however it's a very real fear. Almost immediately after we found out the boy was allergic to peanuts, we got him a medic alert bracelet that he wears at all times. It provides peace or mind that regardless of the situation, the boys' information will always be close at hand to those that would need it.
That belief is currently under review.
Although she was unable to talk, no one checked my sister for a medic alert bracelet. Despite her barely conscious, oxygen deprived state she waved her medic alert at the nurse who repeatedly pushed Kat's arm away without a second glance. She was a the hospital and NO ONE checked her for a medic alert bracelet.
Three weeks later and she still has a rash on her arm from the latex tourniquet used to start her IV; a minor reaction to a small but unnecessary action. If someone had checked her for a medic alert, they would have known to keep everything latex-free.
I can't help but be disappointed. I always believed that wearing a medic alert was a proactive move; a medically recognized way to keep medical information is available, regardless of consciousness. But now I'm not so sure, Kat tells me this is the second time she's been to the hospital and no one checked her for a medic alert.
As a parent of a peanut allergic child, I NEED to believe that wearing a medic alert will help keep my boy safe. I must stay strong and I can't allow my faith to be shaken; anaphylaxis is scary enough as is.
Do you or your family member wear a medic alert bracelet? Do you know someone whose live was saved by their medic alert bracelet? Or alternately, do you know someone else whose medic alert bracelet was ignored?

Just about everyday there is another report proving that America either is or shortly will become an oligarchy in which rich folk control all aspects of life. It is now clear the upper 1% of Americans control at least 22% of all wealth and that 400 families make more money than 140,000,000 people. Of course, Republicans see nothing evil in such a maldistribution of wealth since God ordained the rich shall lead the poor and the rich shall enable middle class folk to find his Kingdom up in the sky. Republicans insist if you want to become a millionaire why don't you get born to someone who has a million dollars?
After all, is it the fault of those born into money who attend Ivy League colleges so they can be hired by Ivy League graduates that the end result is they wind up with more wealth? No one stops anyone from going to Harvard? No one stops anyone from getting a job in a hedge fund and manipulating figures so they can earn a million of day! Stop complaining and work hard.
It is now clear those who fought the Revolution and our wars were fighting for the right of wealthy people to run this country! Look at the bright side:
Poor children will learn to have good manners and say, "yes sir," and "yes mam."
There will be plenty of jobs available to poor people to become nannies and maids and build yachts.
We can kill off a lot of babies from poor families and thus reduce welfare rolls.
Poor children will be saved from the boredom of sitting in college classes listening to some professor lecture.
Just remember the St. Louis Cardinals won the world series when all said they never could. I wish poor folk would adopt that attitude and learn if they suffer from malnutrition now they can always afford a Big Mac tomorrow.

Had a bad battery replaced it , should i have left the battery disconnected for a while so the car can reset itself to the new battery?
All the procedures "required" to install a new battery are spelled out in the owners manual...anything else is totally a personal matter: :D
cheers mate just got elecrical cluster problems trying to solve
Did the new battery solve the electrical cluster problems? If not...can you elaborate more about the cluster issues...it may be something a forum member is familiar with. :)
Also at the same time my parking sensor beeps have stopped working
and when i lock the car the lights dont flash to indicate the alarm is set.
Also the auto stick park light stays on even when the car is switched off and locked is that normal?
Could this be ignition switch problem?
Not sure if my experience will be useful to the OP, but, when I had a bad cluster, here's the procedure I followed to resolve:
- One user's experience debugging a half-dead instrument cluster (1) which, after testing the fuses (1) battery & alternator (1) thankfully turned into an alternative battery search (1) and a simple battery replacement DIY (1)
I'm not sure about the LCM since I've never experienced a failure - but maybe the OP may benefit from one of these?
- How to repair (1) (2) or replace (1) your light control module & where to get new LCM chips (1) (2)
I have the tamper dot show on the instrument cluster one time when the battery was low, but the car started . Turn off then on and the dot went away.
Help us help you better...please give model/model year/build date info
Question 3...PDC...communicates on the I-bus. PDC sensors can stop working causing this issue. You can actually hear the sensors "clicking" if you walk around the car (once started AND in PARK)...the one NOT clicking is the culprit.
Question 4...FZV/DWA (central locking/anti-theft alarm siren system) communicates on the P-bus...but would send a data/signal from the P-bus, to the K-bus, then to the I-bus to tell the LCM to flash the lights. Sometimes a deeply discharged battery has caused some car/key memory settings to return to default settings...do you still get the audible alert when locking/unlocking the car?
And question 5...that little booger gets a lot of owners. It should stay illuminated up to 16 minutes...then turn off when the car goes to SLEEP. This light is connected to the P-bus (peripheral bus)...and indicates when the car is AWAKE. When the car is shut down, the P-bus stays awake for 16 minutes...if there are no "calls" (lifting of door handle, or remote buttons on the remote fob, opening of windows, etc)...then the car will go to SLEEP. Come back to the car after 16 minutes and see if the light has gone out...MAKE SURE that you DO NOT lift the door handle or the UNNLOCK button on your remote fob. :)
Thanks for the info people i'll let you know the outcome
I replaced my 2007 X3 battery by AutoCraft H8-AGM. It can be used on 2007 530. It has been working great for almost 6 months. By the way, I have a $30 off promo code. If you are interested in the code, you may click my user name to send me a private message.
Did you connect an 18v battery upfront to the OBM (I believe thats what its called) plug? I learned the hard way that while changing a battery in E39's you need to do this or else your electronics and software get messed up. The plug is in the driver seat to the left under the steering wheel.
I got free installation from a local store. They connected the upfront plug.
Again, see the instructions in post #2 for changing the battery in an e39. :)
OBD II connector - for reading/scanning for OBD II codes (electronic emissions) and for all BUS communication for e39s with build dates from 9/2000-up that no longer have the 20 pin DLC in the engine bay...which too was previously mentioned in post #8 above :D

Growing up I never once ate a brussels sprout. My mother can't stand them, so she never bothered making them. When the brussels sprout trend of 2009 came about, I thought I might as well try them. I know that brussels sprouts can be quite bitter, so I thought roasting them would bring out their natural sweetness, and I was correct! My husband raved about them and ever since then I have been a fan.
Here in Los Angeles roasted brussels sprouts are ubiquitous in restaurants so I have had them many times. They are usually cooked with bacon, but I don't eat pork, so in my version they are just cut into quarters, massaged with oil, salt, pepper, fresh garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Then you put them in an oven set to 375 and turn them every 10-15 minutes until browned- usually around the 30 minute mark.
For a regular weeknight meal I will serve them plain, but to fancy things up for company I serve it with a lemon garlic dip. The brightness of the lemon combines perfectly with the savory bittersweetness of the brussels sprouts. If you are looking for an autumn or winter vegetable side dish, then I would suggest these roasted brussels sprouts and lemon garlic dip. They are easy to make, and taste heavenly. You can even make them ahead of time and just warm them up in the oven while your guests are arriving! Just make sure to make enough because people will eat way more than you might expect.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Lemon Garlic Dip
1 stalk of fresh brussels sprouts
olive oil
2 -3 cloves garlic smashed
pinch of red pepper flakes
salt/pepper to taste
1/3 cup mayonnaise
juice and zest of 1/2 lemon
1 clove garlic smashed
Preheat your oven to 375. Cut the brussels sprouts off their stalk and then cut into 1/2 or 1/4 depending on their size. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper, and smashed garlic. For the garlic I suggest Dorot frozen garlic which I use all. the. time. It is in the frozen aisle at your local grocery store or Trader Joes. Massage the oil all over the sprouts until completely covered. Then roast for about 30 minutes, turning the sprouts every 10-15 minutes.
For the lemon garlic dip, mix together the mayonnaise, the zest and juice of 1/2 a lemon and the smashed clove of garlic. Add a little salt and taste to make sure you can really taste the lemon but it isn't too overpowering. If you think it is too lemony, add some mayo. If you love garlic, add some more! The dip can be made up to three days ahead of the dinner and might I add it tastes lovely with steamed artichokes as well.

Sampling the hikes in the Coast of Bays region of Newfoundland
View Source Article
by Keith and Heather Nicol
We recently had a chance to visit the excellent Conne River powwow over the July 1 long weekend in the Coast of Bays region of Newfoundland. This area is accessed by highway 360 which is near Grand Falls in Central Newfoundland. We had never been to this part of the province before so we were keen to see as much as we could in the couple of days that we had available.
Since we like to explore on foot we also sampled many of the short hiking trails that the area has to offer. So what follows are some that we found easy to find and that are well marked. In Milltown we walked the Jersey Point Trail which is about 1 km (1 way). Much of it is along the ocean so is a pleasant walk and you can also check out the Piercey Heritage house enroute.
Walking along the Jersey Point Trail
We also walked the short 500 meter Southeast Brook Trail which traverses a portion of that scenic stream. In Conne River we really enjoyed their "medicine trail" which I we discussed more fully in the July 4 blog post. As well you can hike up to Clem Joe's Lookout which branches off of this trail at the first small building and it climbs 70 meters to a fine viewpoint. This trail is just 500 meters long (1 way) but the last portion is quite steep. Lastly we walked several very nice trails in Harbour Breton where we played in and out with the fog. The Rocky Point Lighthouse trail is about 400 meters long (1 way) if you take the beach route (beware at high tide since this route will mean getting your feet wet-but there is another entrance point near a cemetery that is less scenic-since it is not along the water- but you won't have to worry about wet feet). We also really enjoyed the Gun Hill hike which provided great views of the entire area. This hike is short -just 650 meters (1 way) but is has a ton of stairs to climb up. Think of it as an outdoor "stairmaster".
The View from the Gun Hill Trail in Harbour Breton
We also hiked about a portion of the Deadman's Cove trail which looked to be a great trail but part way along the fog rolled in and we so we decided to return to the car. This trail has fine views of some offshore islands and long beaches and would be a stellar trail in the sunshine.
Watching the fog roll in on the Deadman's Cove Trail
If readers have other suggestions of good trails in this area place a note in the comments section of this blogpost.

Last weekend Jason and I went on a little dinner date to Pizza Express in York. We had been invited over to try the new Spring/ Summer menu.It had been hot all week but it choose Saturday to rain ... heavily!So we have to make a quick dash for the restaurant from the car park. It would of been lovely to have a walk around the town after but we had a lovely meal together. I'm not sure of the history of the restaurant but it looked like it was in the hall/ ball room of an old house, it was very beautiful. If it had been sunny there was a lovely outside seating area looking over the river.
It was quite busy when we arrived... it was a Saturday afternoon. The staff were lovely, they came straight over to ask which drinks we would like and gave us a few minutes to look at the menu.
I normally go for things I've had before...the 'safe option' but I wanted to try new things this time that I hadn't tried before. So for my starter I went for the Leggera Panzanella which was under 250cals. (description below) and Jason went for the Dough balls which he said were really good... I wanted to pinch them they looked so nice!
'Inspired by the classic Tuscan dish, full of fresh colour and flavour.
Santos & vine tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, surfine capers and croutons
marinated with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, basil and balsamic vinegar.'
For main course I went for the Girardiniera pizza, again something I haven't had before. I usually stick to the safe cheese or cheese and pineapple. It was really good, I have never had artichokes before but wanted to try them. I went for the original crush. (description below). Jason went for the Calzone salami e salsiccia Jason typically likes his meaty pizzas. I don't think this had much meat inside but he cleared his plate.(description below).For sides we went for the Polenta Chips, these were the only thing we both weren't keen on.
Artichokes, mushrooms, red peppers, marinated santos
tomatoes, leeks, olives, garlic oil, tomato and pesto base
Italian cured meats and crumbled
fennel & chilli sausage with passata, roasted red and yellow
peppers, garlic oil, mozzarella, parsley and baby spinach.
'Polenta Chips'
Italian polenta with rosemary, twice baked and finished with Gran Moravia
cheese, served with honey and mustard dressing
For desert we both went for the Raspberry sorbet.It was sooo good! We are normally too full for desert but id heard from my sister who visited the Leeds restaurant to try out the menu recently that it was amazing. Jason really loved it too. If you go to pizza express you definitely need to try this. This was under 200 cals.
'Two scoops of lemon curd or dairy-free raspberry sorbet

Overall we have a really nice time at Pizza Express. The Staff were great and the restaurant is beautiful.We would definitely go back again! If you are a student you can get student discount too which is great.
A huge thank you to Pizza Express and Kelly!!
