Space Weather Update: 12/15/2015
By Spaceweather.com, 12/15/2015
POLAR STRATOSPHERIC CLOUDS: An outbreak of polar stratospheric clouds(PMCs) is underway around the Arctic Circle. Unlike normal grey-white clouds, which hug Earth's surface at altitudes of only 5 to 10 km, PMCs float through the stratosphere (25 km) and they are fantastically colorful. Sarah Skinner saw this specimen high above Abisko, Sweden:
"Just as I was heading out to de-ice the car on Dec. 14th, I looked up and noticed the most incredible cloud formation," says Skinner. "At the same time, an excited text came through from my boss, aurora tour guide Chad Blakley, who having lived here for many years has seen this only once or twice and explained to an Arctic newbie like me how rare these formations really are."
Also known as "nacreous" or "mother of pearl" clouds, the icy structures form in the lower stratosphere when temperatures drop to around minus 85ºC. Sunlight shining through tiny ice particles ~10µm across produce the characteristic bright iridescent colors by diffraction and interference. Once thought to be mere curiosities, some PMCs are now known to be associated with the destruction of ozone.
"Nacreous clouds far outshine and have much more vivid colours than ordinary iridescent clouds, which are very much poor relations and seen frequently all over the world," writes atmospheric optics expert Les Cowley. "Once seen they are never forgotten."

GEOMAGNETIC STORMS: A co-rotating interaction region (CIR) struck Earth's magnetic field on Dec. 14th, followed shortly thereafter by a high-speed stream of solar wind. The double jolt sparked almost 9 hours of G1-class geomagnetic storms and auroras around the Arctic Circle. Brian Whittaker saw the display from the cockpit of an airplane 35,000 feet above Northern Manitoba, Canada:
"In addition to the auroras, the Geminid meteor shower was very active," says Whittaker.
More auroras are in the offing on Dec. 15th. NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% chance of continued storming as the solar wind continues to blow. Aurora alerts:text or voice
THE GEMINID METEOR SHOWER IS UNDERWAY: Canada's Meteor Orbit Radar (CMOR) is picking up echoes from the constellation Gemini. It's a sign that the annual Geminid meteor shower is underway. The bright green "hot spot" in this CMOR sky map shows where Geminid meteoroids are hitting the atmosphere:
Geminid meteoroids are gravelly debris from "rock comet" 3200 Phaethon. They hit Earth's atmosphere traveling ~35 km/s (78,000 mph) and typically disintegrate about 80 km (50 miles) above Earth's surface.
Earth is moving through the densest part of the stream today. Under ideal conditions this would produce as many as 120 meteors per hour. Winter weather around the northern hemisphere is, in most places, reducing actual sightings far below that number. Nevertheless, as this photo from Iceland shows, even a single Geminid meteor can make the night worthwhile:
"This fireball appeared over the Vestrahorn mountain in southeast Iceland," says photographer Philip Eaglesfield. "It was a lucky shot. I had just stepped out of my car and set up my camera. If I had arrived a few minutes later, I would have missed it."
In the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, Spaceweather.com and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus launched a helium balloon into a snowstorm. Carrying a low-light meteor camera, the payload aims to capture Geminid meteors streaking above the clouds:
The flight was sponsored by KOMO TV, an ABC news station in Seattle (another place with cloudy skies). Their generous donation of $500 paid for the helium and other supplies neccessary to get the meteor balloon off the ground. Stay tuned for possible meteor captres from the stratosphere!.

All Sky Fireball Network
Every night, a network of NASA all-sky cameras scans the skies above the United States for meteoritic fireballs. Automated software maintained by NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office calculates their orbits, velocity, penetration depth in Earth's atmosphere and many other characteristics. Daily results are presented here on Spaceweather.com.
On Dec. 14, 2015, the network reported 148 fireballs.
(107 Geminids, 33 sporadics, 4 sigma Hydrids, 1 December Monocerotid, 1 , 1 Comae Berenicid, 1 December Leonis Minorid)
In this diagram of the inner solar system, all of the fireball orbits intersect at a single point–Earth. The orbits are color-coded by velocity, from slow (red) to fast (blue). [Larger image] [movies]
Near Earth Asteroids
Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs is on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time.
On December 15, 2015 there were 1642 potentially hazardous asteroids.

Cosmic Rays in the Atmosphere
Situation Report — Oct. 30, 2015Stratospheric Radiation (+37o N)
Cosmic ray levels are elevated(+6.1% above the Space Age median). The trend is flat. Cosmic ray levels have increased +0% in the past month.
Sept. 06: 4.14 uSv/hr (414 uRad/hr)
Sept. 12: 4.09 uSv/hr (409 uRad/hr)

Oct. 11: 4.02 uSv/hr (402 uRad/hr)
Oct. 22: 4.11 uSv/hr (411 uRad/hr)
These measurements are based on regular space weather balloon flights: learn more.
Approximately once a week, Spaceweather.com and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus fly "space weather balloons" to the stratosphere over California. These balloons are equipped with radiation sensors that detect cosmic rays, a surprisingly "down to Earth" form of space weather. Cosmic rays can seed clouds, trigger lightning, and penetrate commercial airplanes. Our measurements show that someone flying back and forth across the continental USA, just once, can absorb as much ionizing radiation as 2 to 5 dental X-rays. Here is the data from our latest flight, Oct. 22nd:
Radiation levels peak at the entrance to the stratosphere in a broad region called the "Pfotzer Maximum." This peak is named after physicist George Pfotzer who discovered it using balloons and Geiger tubes in the 1930s. Radiation levels there are more than 80x sea level.
Note that the bottom of the Pfotzer Maximim is near 55,000 ft. This means that some high-flying aircraft are not far from the zone of maximum radiation. Indeed, according to the Oct 22th measurements, a plane flying at 45,000 feet is exposed to 2.79 uSv/hr. At that rate, a passenger would absorb about one dental X-ray's worth of radiation in about 5 hours.
The radiation sensors onboard our helium balloons detect X-rays and gamma-rays in the energy range 10 keV to 20 MeV. These energies span the range of medical X-ray machines and airport security scanners.

Energy policy is important because energy is at the core of economic and social activity in industrialised countries. Energy costs affect not only industries with large energy consumption but also industry as a whole and even the cost of living of citizens, notably because of the impact of energy prices on transport cost and heating. While respecting the subsidiarity principle and the environmental requirements for sustainable development, European energy policy aims, therefore, at influencing energy production and consumption with the objective of securing economic growth and safeguarding the wellbeing of the citizens of the Union. It must, on the one hand, ensure the smooth functioning of the single market in energy products and services and, on the other, guarantee the supply of relatively cheap and secure (from the strategic and environmental viewpoints) energy resources to the States of the Union. The common energy policy thus revolves around two axes: the functioning of the internal energy market and the security of energy supplies.
The common energy policy was not forgotten by the "founding fathers", who devoted two Community Treaties to this sector: the ECSC Treaty, which deals with coal and Euratom, which covers nuclear energy [see section 2.1]. They failed, however, to give the institutions of the European Economic Community any clear responsibility for the hydrocarbons sector. Although with hindsight this may be questioned, in the 1950s coal was in abundant supply, was relatively inexpensive and met 65% of the energy requirements of the six founding countries. It was therefore seen as the energy, which would fuel the creation of the common market. Furthermore, impressed by the recent demonstration at Hiroshima of the force of atomic energy, experts were predicting a bright future for its peaceful use.
No clear need for a common or even national oil policy was perceived in the years when oil was cheap and supply certain, which was the case throughout the post-war years up to the early 1970s. This golden era was anchored in major oil discoveries by Western oil companies in the Middle East and Africa and in the legal system governing the exploitation of oil reserves. The central principle of this system was the granting of a prospecting and working monopoly over a given area by the producer country to one or several foreign companies (licence). The activity spectrum of these companies covered all of the petroleum industry activities (prospecting, production, transport, refining, storage and distribution) and they enjoyed a strong position enabling them, in the vast majority of exporting countries and in relation to most of the importing countries, to regulate petroleum output and marketing terms.
Although the Governments of the then six Member States showed a clear tendency towards an "every man for himself" policy, they nevertheless approved a "Protocol of Agreement on Energy Problems" in April 1964. In this Protocol, they stated their commitment to the development and implementation of a Community energy policy, without considering it necessary to set a time limit for its definition. Time was however running against them, for world oil demand grew more rapidly than supply and around 1970 the market changed from a buyer's to a seller's one. Oil-producing countries became aware of the power which they wielded and changed their attitude towards consumer countries and oil companies. The calm which had reigned in the oil sector during most of the post-war period was suddenly shattered in 1970 and replaced by an incessant stream of demands by producing countries, by agreements concluded and broken and finally by a mad rush for self-survival among consumer countries.
Very few specific measures were adopted in the oil sector until the crisis hit this sector. Among the rare few was one on the obligation of the Member States to maintain minimum stocks of petroleum products as a security measure [Decision 68/416, repealed by Directive 2009/119, see section 19.3.4] and one on the notifying of the Commission of investment projects of interest to the Community in the petroleum, natural gas and electricity sectors [Regulation 1056/72 replaced by Regulation 256/2014, see section 19.2]. Special mention must be made of a Directive adopted by the Council in July 1973, just a few months before the October 1973 crisis, urging the Member States to take measures, appoint bodies and prepare intervention plans to mitigate the effects of possible supply restrictions [Directive 73/238, replaced by Directive 2009/119, see section 19.3.4].

Graham Taylor blames a gambling problem for stealing $19 500
A former Healesville chamber of commerce president, Graham Taylor admitted to having a gambling problem. This was after he was sentenced to spend 9 months in jail after stealing close to $20 000.
Graham Taylor, 60, pleaded guilty in front of Jillian Crowe in the Ringwood Magistrates' Court. He admitted to defrauding his former employer of a large amount of money to fund his gambling life.
Reports indicate that Graham Taylor dishonestly acquired large sums of money from his employer, Rochford Wines, as well as several community groups. He has been charged with about 48 charges of fraud and deception, all of which took place between February 2014 and March 2015.
When asked in Court, Graham Taylor blamed his gambling problem as the root of all the sins that will make him spend 9 months in correctional facilities.
Graham Taylor's 48 charges included stealing from people's credit cards, stealing wine and cash from the former employer, using credit cards falsely when buying concert tickets and stealing about $1110 from the Healesville Chamber of Commerce.
Is a gambling problem the reason to cheat friends and employers?
Although a host of his charges seem unrelated to his gambling problem, Graham Taylor admitted to spending his loot at the gambling tables. The former Marysville Lions Club president admitted to using his popularity and positions to enrich himself and go on to cheat even his closest friends.
He said in one incident, he stole more than $12 000 from credit cards that did not belong to him. He got the credit card numbers from friends who asked him to buy them items from Rochford at a discount. He said he used the cards for cash advances and on some occasions, he had to steal the wine for the credit card victim so that it may look to have been purchased through the credit card he cashed out.
Graham Taylor broke into tears when telling the magistrate that he was already seeking help for his mental health as he believes he has a serious problem.

Topic is: Morley's theorem
In a historical paper I expect to see at least one reference to a source document that is longer than the paper itself (i.e., not just things like encyclopedia articles). Whether the referenced documents were print or on-line is less important; but remember that Web items usually have authors and titles, not just URLs, and need to be cited accordingly. (Giving the date of access is also considered desirable, since the Web changes constantly.) A "mathematical" paper may not need any references, if it is self-contained.
References should be formatted as prescribed in the MAA Reference Guide. This format is the standard one for most mathematical journals. Pay particular attention to the instructions for Web pages and other on-line items. Note that in this style, bibliography items are numbered and therefore should be cited in the text by numbers in brackets (such as "[3]"), not by, for example, author and year.
Henceforth I shall regard project 5 in Ch. 1 (Morley's theorem) to be historical. (The solution is hard to work out but easy to find on the web.) So, put some history into it. (One paper found and compared two proofs.)
Each paper submitted will be classed as "mathematical" or "historical".
At least one of your two papers must be mathematical (i.e., demonstrate independent thought, not just reporting facts from sources). A mathematical paper should be (just) as long as it needs to be to solve the problem.
(For W students:) At least one of your papers should exceed 1000 words (about 5 pages). A decent historical paper should be of that magnitude anyway.
Historical and mathematical papers will be graded by different rubrics:

This October google launched two of its flagship mobile phones, Pixel and Pixel XL . They are part of new Google Pixel line and come with latest Android 7.1 Nougat. In India Pixel prices starts at Rs 57000 for its 32GB variant and Pixel XL at Rs 76000 for 128GB variant. These prices are at par with Apple's new iPhone 7 which has huge customer base over the world. Since Samsung note 7 is discontinued from the market because of it's heating and exploding issues now it is clear battle of iPhone 7 vs. Google Pixel.
Now the question is , will people switch to Google from Apple? See in the features in which Pixel surpasses IPhone 7.
Camera Quality- DxOMark which is considered as a benchmark for Camera reviews has given a rating of 89 to Pixel as compared to 86 iPhone 7
VR Ready – Many people are ready hop on the much talked VR train. Google beats Apple in this section with huge margin.
Unlimited Storage – Now that's something which everyone needs these days. Considering the increasing camera and video recording quality this is surely a big plus.
Battery – Pixel features 2770 mAH battery as compared to 1960 mAH by iPhone 7. Though Pixel has high power battery, only large number doesn't decide the battery life.
Google Assistant – Initially it was provided only in Allo messenger from Google but now it has incorporated in Latest OS in Pixel.
24X7 Live Customer Support – Google will provide direct help for your convenience and it will be 24X7.
Fast Charging – Pixel comes with super fast charging feature. With 15 minutes of charging battery lasts for 7 hours and charges to 70%.
Features in which iPhone 7 has Upper hand:
Water Resistance – iPhone 7 series is water resistant which a something very much important to have. Pixel is water and dust proof but it is not at par with iPhone feature.
3D Touch – This new feature in the iOS came with 6S and following devices. Surely not a big miss, but it would cause inconvenience if you are switching from iPhone
Dual Camera – Iphone 7 comes with dual camera which is really innovative.

When and how you harvest flowers grown in your garden will determine how well the blooms keep in storage for the bouquet you intend to make at a later time. Harvest your homegrown blossoms, using sharp blade pruners, in the early morning when the stems are fully hydrated.
Immediately place the stems in a container that has cool water in it. When you bring the fresh cut flowers indoors, prepare them for storing by first using a method termed "hardening" Mix commercial floral preservative according to the directions in water that is 110 degrees F.
Place your freshly cut flower stems into this hot water mixture for one to two hours while the container and blooms are stored in a cool location. The principal behind this method is that hot water is rapidly drawn up the stem of the flower, fully hydrating the blossom, leaves and stem to its capacity.
When you cut a flower from a plant, you take away the flower's food source, so the more you can replace the food the better and longer your flowers will last After you have hardened your fresh cut flowers, transfer them to a container of lukewarm water with floral preservative for storage. Place this container in a location that is cool, 65 degrees F or lower, away from sunlight and drafts.
Commercially Grown
When you purchase fresh flowers from a florist or commercial grower for use in a later bouquet, the blooms will probably come bundled in a cellophane wrapper and may have a rubber band around the stems. Remove the rubber band, but keep the cellophane wrapper around the flowers to help keep the flower heads from possibly drooping while stored.
After you have removed the rubber band, cut a small amount of the stem off, 1/2 inch or so. Like homegrown flowers, harden the flowers by placing the stems in a water and floral preservative mix that is at 110 degrees F.
Leave the flowers in the hot water for one to two hours so they may drink up as much fluid as possible and become fully hydrated. To store commercially grown flowers for a bouquet made later, place the flowers in a container that has a water and floral preservative.
Put the container with the flowers in a cool location, 65 degrees F or cooler, but not below 35 degrees F. The location should be away from direct sunlight, drafts and heat sources.
General Tips
When you cut the ends of the stems, cut them at an angle to open a larger area for the stem to take up water. The stems should be recut every time you change water or containers.
Fresh water is a key ingredient to successfully keeping fresh cut flowers fresh. Change the water in the container your stored flowers are in daily.
Lukewater or cool water, with floral preservative, is the best for maintaining freshness.

As with any bathroom or kitchen renovation, you want your design to be functional and timeless.
Predicting kitchen trends can be a bit like waving a stick in the wind. No one really knows if they're a trend until the style is used consistently – like copper and subway tiles. Both of these were popular in kitchens last year, but this year, they have been slowly edging out of trend.
No matter the kitchen trends, if you're looking renovate your kitchen in the new year, choose what works for the space. The following predictions are based on what architects and designers are seeing overseas and by international trend forecasting agencies.
Tuxedo Cabinets
Tuxedo cabinets are a combination of two colours in the cabinetry. Some renovators will take this literally and use black and white cabinetry, while others will use a muted palette of greys, browns and navy.
Wood Paneling & Dark Woods
Dark wood floors and wood paneling will also be featured in kitchens to add a natural tone to the space.
Minimalism is in
Just like the bathroom trends predicted for 2017, minimalism will be huge for kitchens. Taller cabinets will allow for more storage and bench appliances will be concealed in cabinetry.
Hidden Appliances
Appliances will form part of the cabinetry, blending into the kitchen. Stainless steel appliances are out, while coloured appliances that match in with the kitchen colour palette will be in.
Mixed Hardware & Desert Colours
Mixed hardware in brushed metals of gold, brass, nickel and copper will be on trend. This trend will lend itself to tapware too. A bold and sleek sink mixer will add interest to the kitchen and be a key focal point. Desert colours like saffron, terracotta and nude will be very popular in kitchens.
Internal vegetable gardens will also be seen in many modern kitchens. The greenery adds colour to the kitchen, but also nods to the minimalist, simplistic lifestyle of growing your own food.
Which kitchen trend resonates with you? Do you like to follow trends or are you happy to do what you want when it comes to interiors?

The module is divided into two halves: biopsychology and social psychology. Biological, neurological and social explanations for a series of identified psychological topics are explored, as well as introducing the concept of evolutionary explanations for human behaviour and the scientific approach to the study of our social behaviour.
This module introduces students to a range of areas of cognitive psychology. Specific topics covered include aspects such as attention, perception, memory, language, emotion and reasoning. Consideration is given to the key models along with supporting evidence from experimental psychology, neuropsychological case studies and cognitive neuroscience. Students will develop an in-depth knowledge of these areas along with the necessary skills to distinguish between theories and to critically evaluate them.
You work closely with an allocated supervisor to conduct research into an area appropriate to your course route. Your supervisor is matched to you based on the topic area of your dissertation. You review relevant literature, select appropriate research methodology and methods, collect and analyse data and produce a 18,000-word dissertation.
Psychological Research Design and Analysis 2
The module deals with more advanced research design and analysis, building on the module Research design and analysis 1. The module aims to facilitate the development of knowledge and skills in using advanced research designs, including the use of quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques.
Module content includes conceptual issues in advanced research designs - including experimental, quasi-experimental and non-experimental quantitative research designs - planning of sample size, quantitative data analysis (ANOVA and multiple regression), and qualitative data collection and analysis.
Psychology of Development and Individual Differences
The module is a core level 6 module and is divided into two halves: Developmental Psychology and Individual Differences. Both halves cover competing perspectives, contemporary debates, historical perspectives and applied topics. Key theoretical perspectives in developmental psychology are studied using a lifespan perspective. This module develops your understanding and skills in developmental psychology and individual differences.
Modules offered may vary.
Learning on this programme is facilitated by lectures, seminars, workshops and laboratory classes. Extensive use is made of the virtual learning environment to support you throughout your studies. You also have the opportunity to investigate an area of psychology of your choice through your dissertation.
You are assessed by a variety of different methods including presentations, group work, essays, reports, examinations and a dissertation. This pattern of assessments has been developed to prepare you for postgraduate study and also to develop a high level of transferable skills applicable to the workplace.
You gain the basis for registration (Graduate Basis for Chartership) and the first step towards becoming a chartered psychologist.
Applicants must have an undergraduate Honours degree (minimum 2:2) and at least 60 credits of psychology and research methods study. Applicants without this study can undertake our Introduction to Psychology course before entry to the Graduate Conversion programme.

(11.30am, Saturday 2 March 2013, Glebe Town Hall, 160 St Johns Rd)
Thank you, Stephen [Gilby, MC]. Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Glebe Town Hall!
I'd like firstly to acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, the traditional custodians of our land, and to pay my respects to their Elders. I also acknowledge the people of 200 nations who live in our city.
I thank Michael West for his Welcome to Country and Uncle Max who will be smoking the building - especially important as it served for a time as the local police station and lock-up.
A special welcome today to:
- Peter Tonkin and Julie Mackenzie of Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects, our head consultants for this project
- Our heritage expert, Jean Rice of Jean Rice Architects
- Ethan Sinclair from CBS
- City Councillors Robyn Kemmis, John Mant and Linda Scott
- Aunties Millie Ingram and Kathryn Farrawell of the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Advisory Panel
- Lee Kalmo, Director of Rapid Constructions, who worked with the City on this and
- From the City of Sydney, our project manager, Kevin Chahoud, and design manager, Chris McBride.
A job like this demands team work and a wide range of expertise, and I think everyone will agree that the results are really impressive.
It's this building's first major upgrade since it was opened in 1880. It was the most important work of the architect Ambrose Thornley junior.
The work was necessary to make sure the building will continue to serve the Glebe community, to make it more accessible and welcoming for everyone, and to make it more sustainable.
At the same time, its original features have been carefully and lovingly restored, and that stunning glass façade marks the new accessible entry on Lodge Street.
We've spent $6.8 million , some of it on necessary repairs such as fixing salt and water damage on the façade, restoring the clock to working order, replacing the slate roof, improving accessibility, insulation and sound proofing.
There's a new ramp on Mt Vernon Street for pram and wheel-chair access from the bus stop; new access to the Lodge building from the Town Hall ground floor and a new lift to all floors.
As with all our work, sustainability has been a key issue, so as much as possible has been recycled. There are new fittings to reduce energy and water use and a monitoring system to check their effectiveness; we're collecting rainwater from the roof for re-use in toilets and garden irrigation, and natural ventilation and light have been maximised to reduce reliance on air-conditioning and electricity.
The Town Hall now has spaces for hire, meeting rooms and artist's studios. It will also house the Glebe Early Childhood Health Centre and Sydney University's Glebe Community Development Project - an organisation that works locally with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and social housing residents.
I want to thank and congratulate all those who've work on this refurbishment - it's a fantastic result and a great tribute to your skills and expertise.
There are a number of other projects being carried out in Glebe that I'd like to quickly mention.
Glebe Foreshore extension:
We're continuing our work on the foreshore for the public and will complete a "missing link" between Ferry Road and Pyrmont Bridge Road, providing a public waterfront pathway from Annandale to the Fish Market.
Following consultations with you and with the land owners, Council endorsed concept designs last November and we plan to start work mid-year.
Small parks, playgrounds and ovals:
Several local parks are getting makeovers. A new playground is under construction at Jubilee Park and will open this year with a creative play space for children of all ages.
We've had extensive consultation with residents on proposed improvements to the St James Park and John Street Reserve. Your comments have been taken into a revised concept plan which Council endorsed in December. Construction will begin at the end of this year.
Glebe Point Road
Glebe Point Road is now looking much greener and more beautiful, as well as being safer, with better pedestrian, bike and public transport access. Recent works included footpath replacement, replacing large areas of hard surface with grass and plants, improvements to 12 intersections, installation of three rain gardens and 10 additional bike parking spots.
This is a terrific community, with a great community spirit. We're pleased to be able to improve these local assets, and to return Glebe Town Hall to you as a focal point of your community.
Thank you for coming here today. Have a great day, everyone.

Jason Dowdy and Laura Welier of Richmond take XTERRA Fugitive 10km Titles
XTERRA Richmond 21K Results / XTERRA Fugitive 10K Results
(Richmond, VA) - Blaine O'Reilly (24, Williamsburg) and Emily Ward (31, Richmond) captured the XTERRA Richmond 20K, while Jason Dowdy (37, Richmond) and Laura Weiler (31, Richmond) won the XTERRA Fugitive 10K trail runs in cool, rainy conditions around James River Park this morning.
The courses for both races were changed to protect the trail system – eliminating the Forest Hill Park and "Dry Way" sections that have been pummeled with rain over the past two days - and replacing them with alternate routes on service and gravel roads.
O'Reilly, who ran for the Army Black Knights' track and cross country teams from 2007-2011 before graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 2011, led from start-to-finish and crossed the line in 1:11:37 (5:43 mile pace), more than four-minutes ahead of runner-up and last year's 20K winner Ryan Middleton of Hanover.
"It was fun, my first XTERRA," said O'Reilly, the two-mile record holder at Gloucester High School. "My brother wanted me to come over and run and glad I did. I'll have to come back next year so I can get on those trails everyone raves about."
In the women's race Ward, a track and cross country star at the University of Richmond ten years ago, was equally as dominant despite getting a side-stitch that had her walking for the first time ever in a race. Her winning time of 1:26:44 was good for eighth overall, and nearly seven minutes ahead of runner-up Jaclyn Shokey.
"Aside from the side stich I had a good time splashing through all the puddles today," said Ward, who works for Chesterfield County Parks and Recreation.
In the XTERRA Fugitive 10K, Dowdy defended his title and has now won this race three times (it was way back in 2002 when he won his first). Russell Reed stayed close early but Dowdy ran away at the famous Manchester Stairs, aka "Mayan Ruins" section.
"I wanted to set the tone early and I could hear the guy behind me until we got to the stairs and started dropping him there," said Dowdy, who ran at Virginia Tech until 1999.
Women's 10K winner Laura Weiler finished more than six minutes ahead of runner-up Lucas Daley, and said she was happy to see the course re-routed to protect the trails.
"Had a lot of fun today. The course was a little different than normal but they did a great job re-routing us and keeping everyone safe and the trails in good shape," said Weiler, a regular runner at James River Park. "I love these trails, Buttermilk, North Bank, they are so much fun and such an asset to Richmond. Maintaining the integrity of the trails is far more important than just one day and we were still able to have a great race and a lot of fun so it worked out."
Tomorrow, the XTERRA East Championship will take place in Richmond for the 15th consecutive year starting with the pro race at 8am.

To begin thinking directionally, have the student play skips and steps on the keyboard. Explain to the student that a skip skips a finger and skips a letter in the musical alphabet. A step plays the next finger and is the next letter in the musical alphabet.
Directional Reading
Reading by shapes and contours is a helpful mechanic in reading notes. Relationships such as up, down, same, repetition, equal distribution in the tonic chord, or unequal distribution in the dominate seventh chord should be seen. Explain to the student the three movements possible on the staff: up, down or the same. Also, there are three types of distances possible on the staff: steps (seconds), skips (thirds or larger intervals), or repeats.
Use interval terminology from the beginning. The goal is to teach the student to think and reason directionally from a given note.
Drills can be taught easily without keyboard sheet music. The student can close his eyes while hearing the directions. Experiences such as playing 5-finger positions and chords prepares students for reading notation. It is helpful to create written drills which work with the concept of direction only, writing pairs of notes in any given direction, up, down or repeat.

The Hollywood Intern
Finding internships and hands-on learning (and the correct freeway exits!) in a semester at the heart of the entertainment industry with the LA Program.About this blog
Saturday, November 19, 2011
One big selling point for me to do the ICLA program was that there were no credit-transfer forms to fill out like you have to do for classes taken through study-abroad affiliate programs. I loved knowing that I could take the same classes in LA that I would have had to take at the home campus anyway.
The classes at the ICLA center are perfectly set up to work with students'...
Wednesday, November 9, 2011
When most people who haven't been to LA think of the city, they probably imagine putting their hands in the imprints outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre or taking pictures next to those pink stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
I admit I did all that during my first week here. But now, I almost feel like a local – sitting in traffic and going to iconic areas for work...

It is official...we now have 2 kids in the double digits in our home. Man does that feel weird!
Asher turned 10 May 5th and in true Asher fashion he was beyond thrilled for his birthday! This guy literally starts planning his birthday in January 😉
Dear Asher,
You have been (and probably will always be) my biggest surprise in my life. When I found out I was pregnant with you, I was mind blown! However, God knew exactly what he was doing when he gave you to us. You were the perfect piece in our puzzle. Watching you and Aiden grow side by side as best friends and supporters has been one of my greatest pleasures in life. My favorite thing about you is how caring you are. Everyone who meets you loves you! You are kind, always giving, always respectful of those around you. You are so determined and driven! I absolutely love watching you play baseball and will always be your biggest fan. I know you are going to do something amazing in your life and I feel so lucky to have a front row seat. Never ever EVER give up on your big dreams and always remember how much our family loves you,
Love, Mom
Cameron made one of Asher's dreams come true by painting a baseball field in the backyard, complete with a fence and foul poles. Asher had no idea and when he came home from school he freaked out!
We even had a special visitor at the party...baby Avery!
Baseball, basketball and swimming...what more could a group of boys ask for?!
And Little Miss had to try out her new scooter.
Asher I hope year 10 is FANTASTIC!

Can you mentor students aged 9-11 years old and their parents to increase their confidence, raise their aspirations and encourage them to engage in their long-term education? Approximate commitment is 2 hours per week, for ten consecutive weeks (not including travel time and advance preparation).
Our primary school mentoring programme aims to raise aspirations of young girls and boys, and to help empower their parents so that they are better able to support their children fulfil their potential.
The programme seeks to equip young girls and boys with the skills to connect education to work at an early age through mentors from professional backgrounds acting as role models, and so that young people can aspire to careers in a range of different sectors.
Mothers and fathers participate in lessons that raise their awareness of the importance of education and how to support their children through school and beyond.
The Programme
The programme itself is ten weeks long, with a weekly hour-long session where the students cover themes such as confidence, communication, and role models, whilst parents look at themes such as citizenship and understanding the British education system.
To complement the sessions, parents and students are provided with resource booklets which they can refer to throughout the course and beyond.
Included in the programme is a special university visit to provide exposure to further education. Hosted by student ambassadors, parents and children attend a prominent university to participate in workshops, a tour of the campus and a presentation on university life.
Mentor girls and boys aged 9-11 years old and their parents to increase their confidence, raise their aspirations and encourage them to engage in their long-term education. The approximate commitment is 2 hours per week, in a school, for ten consecutive weeks.
Mosaic's mentors give insights into their personal and professional lives whilst helping to facilitate the lessons run by teachers.
Bringing the project to life, Mentors provide examples of balancing work with family, what it means to be a good citizen, and the role of women and men in society.
Mentors are often from a wide range of organisations and in the past have included civil servants, life coaches, senior directors, academics and senior lawyers.
Headline partners
Mosaic would like to thank Human Appeal for its support for the primary school programme.

Back to school, hunting season, the first football kickoff: These are all signs that the rich orange, red and yellow colors of fall are about to wrap their bony fingers around the sunny days of summer and squeeze the life out of them. And that means another symbol of the changing seasons will soon appear: the premieres of fall television shows.
Starting on Tuesday, Sept. 6, network and cable channels will reach down and give a hand to the viewers they left hanging off the cliff at the end of spring. Sons of Anarchy (FX, Tuesdays) will return for another nail-biting season of watching SAMCRO try to keep rival bike gangs at bay while trying to keep their families from falling apart. Thursdays will give television's reputation a bump up when edgily hilarious Archer (FX), lowest-common-denominator hilarious It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (FX) and charmingly hilarious Parks and Recreation (NBC) return. TV will need that boost because, also on Thursdays, Annie Ilonzeh, Minka Kelly and Rachael Taylor (who?) star in the premiere of the Charlie's Angels (ABC) reboot. Speaking of a boot, Two-And-A-Half Men (CBS, Mondays) did not get one and returns with Ashton Kutcher playing opposite the guy who was in an '80s coming-of-age movie with Molly Ringwald.
Blue Bloods (CBS, Fridays), Kitchen Nightmares (FOX, Fridays) and Modern Family (ABC, Wednesdays) return with entertaining if not exactly provocative viewing options, and the return of Boardwalk Empire (HBO) will be the meat in a Sunday sandwich layered high with both the prime and cut-rate ingredients of The Good Wife (CBS), Family Guy (FOX), Pan Am (ABC), Desperate Housewives (ABC), The Simpsons (FOX), American Dad (FOX) and CSI: Miami (CBS). You decide which is which. The NFL Kickoff Sunday Night Football airs on Thursday, Sept. 8 (NBC), and if that isn't enough violence for you, on Tuesdays, you can watch new seasons of Glee (FOX) and The Biggest Loser (NBC).

International Women's Day – IWD Hereford
International Women's Day, IWD, on 8th March celebrates the social, cultural, economic and political achievements of women across the globe. The day focuses on unity, equality and advocacy.
Now, more than ever, there's a strong call-to-action to press forward and progress gender parity. There's a strong call to #PressforProgress motivating and uniting friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive.
Over 20 countries – particularly in Asia – celebrate it with a day off work for all, while another three (including China) allow all women to take a day off. Its first official acknowledgement was back in 1911 and became a cornerstone holiday in the Soviet Union from 1917 (even being a day off from work from 1965 onwards). Since 1977, the United Nations has made it a focus day for both women's rights and world peace.
IWD Herefordshire
Celebrating Herefordshire Women
For the first time, this year in Hereford on 8th March there will be a series of Women's events organised by individuals, communities and groups.
Everyone is welcome to visit the daytime events. These include women sharing information not only about their lives but also the lives of others. Why not join in at open mic and dancing sessions? You'll find the timetable for the City of Hereford events on the website.
Kidwells support for IWD
This year to support the activities we will run a FREE Legal Clinic run by female lawyers for the people of Hereford. This will run from 3 pm – 5.30 pm on the day at Coffee #1 in Hereford We will be able to advise on;
- divorce, separation and child contact;

The Importance of Being Emma by Juliet Archer
As some of you regular readers know, I am a big Jane Austen fan, and I've read quite a few modern versions of her work (Melissa Nathan, Kate Fenton spring to mind, as well as Bridget Jones).
What I have found in reading these books is that they are usually only very loosely based around the original story. This has been a little frustrating for me as I often wondered why they had been changed so much when the original was so good.
But lo and behold, at last, a modern version of a Jane Austen book that sticks to the original story, and is a fantastic read.
Here is the synopsis:
Mark Knightley – handsome, clever, rich – is used to women falling at his feet. Except Emma Woodhouse, who's like part of the family – and the furniture. When their relationship changes dramatically, is it an ending or a new beginning?
Emma's grown into a stunningly attractive young woman, full of ideas for modernising her family business. Then Mark gets involved and the sparks begin to fly. It's just like the old days, except that now he's seeing her through totally new eyes.
While Mark struggles to keep his feelings in check, Emma remains immune to the Knightley charm. She's never forgotten that embarrassing moment when he discovered her teenage crush on him. He's still pouring scorn on all her projects, especially her beautifully orchestrated campaign to find Mr Right for her ditzy PA. And finally, when the mysterious Flynn Churchill – the man of her dreams – turns up, how could she have eyes for anyone else?
With its clueless heroine and entertaining plot, this modern re-telling of Jane Austen's Emma stays true to the original, while giving fresh insights into the mind of its thoroughly updated and irresistible hero.
I loved the way this novel took all the characters you love in the original Emma and planted them into the modern world – it worked really well.
Emma herself is still both lovely and extremely irritating at times (just like the original). Mark Knightley is every woman's dream, and Juliet did a great job of giving both of them a history (and no, Emma isn't a virgin).
This book also has a lot of humour in it, which will always get bonus points from me.
So overall, if you love Jane Austen and want to read something fresh and new, then this is the book for you. If you don't like Jane Austen because it's a historical novel or some other strange reason like you have no taste, then this is the book for you too. You'll be very pleasantly surprised.
Juliet has her version of Persuasion coming out next, which I'm very excited about.

Messy footpaths and worksites anger businesses as the NBN rolls out in Port Macquarie's CBD
WILLIAM Street in Port Macquarie has been left a mess following necessary works by the National Broadband Network (NBN).
The contractors have cut out sections of the pebble stone path outside several businesses without warning, according to Percival Property owner Michael Percival.
There was dust and mess left for days in a hazardous state from mid September until September 30, he said.
Another incident on October 11, where a driveway entrance appeared to be incorrectly compacted to allow for traffic, raised his ire.
"We are all in favour of the NBN, it's just the way they've gone about it. It's hazardous, there has been no communication apart from an apology from NBN, but they are obviously employing contractors who don't care," he said.
"They might keep it cleaner now, which is what we really wanted, but it's been a terrible situation.
"I was on my hands and knees for an hour cleaning our floor inside the office one morning. They haven't consulted with us or the other businesses here and we don't know when the works will be complete."
A Port Macquarie-Hastings Council statement said the Federal Government's NBN network infrastructure is currently being installed in 10 locations throughout the Port Macquarie CBD.
"Council are aware of considerable inconvenience being caused, and are working with the NBN to ensure that they inform impacted businesses in advance of works commencing," it said.
"Under council's conditions, NBN contractors are required to ensure work sites are clean at all times.
"Whilst temporary bitumen will be in place for several days, all footpaths will be restored to their original state by the replacement of the entire panels of concrete which are affected."
A neighbouring business person, who did not wish to be named, said they were not notified the work was being done.
"They're doing a good job, but at the end of the day it's about not being told what was happening," they said.
"The foreman has ensured it's been cleaned, and anything we have asked for has been attended to.
"These things have to be done, which is fine, but knowing what was going to happen beforehand would have been handy."
Council said businesses experiencing any issues or concerns should contact the NBN's Community and Stakeholder State Manager Glenn Craft on 0427 668 337.
The NBN were contacted for comment.

Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) is a non-invasive procedure increasingly offered for chronic conditions, including: headaches, neck & back pain, leg pain, joint pain, muscle spasm, fibromyalgia, and long term pain syndromes. It is consideredsafe and is utilized to treat pain arising from the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine as well as the sacroiliac, pelvic regions, and joints.
Manipulation under anesthesia uses a combination of specific short lever manipulations, passive stretches and specific articular and postural kinesthetic maneuvers in order to break up fibrous adhesions and scar tissue around joints, the spine, and surrounding tissue.
About MUA
Licensed physicians who have specialized training and certification specifically for this procedure perform the treatment in a surgical center. A team approach is required to have a safe and successful outcome.
The team includes the anesthesiologist, the primary physician/surgeon who performs the manipulation, and the first assistant, also a physician certified in manipulation under anesthesia.
The combination of manipulation and anesthesia is not new as this treatment has been part of the medical arena for more than 80 years.
Why Anesthesia?
When body movement is difficult the benefit of being sedated is obvious, but the anesthesia performs other important functions such as:
- Interrupting the cycle of muscle spasm to allow for increased movement
- Sedating the pain perceiving nerves that have been irritated due to the dysfunctional spine or joint
- Allowing complete muscle relaxation so that the doctor can stretch shortened muscle groups and reduce adhesions caused by scar tissue
Who Benefits
MUA can be a valuable procedure for those who suffer with pain caused by:
- Sciatica
- Fibromyalgia
- Low back pain
- Neck pain
- Lumbar/thoracic disc displacement
- Neuralgia, radiculitis
- Frozen shoulder
- Headache/migraine headache
- TMJ (Costen's Syndrome)
- Curvature of spine
- Cervical and lumbar disc conditions
- Joint calcification
- Capsulitis of hip
- Torticollis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Piriformis Syndrome
- Pelvic instability
- Gait abnormality/imbalance
If you are experiencing any of these conditions, please make an appointment with your physician. After a thorough examination your doctor will determine if you are a candidate for MUA.
MUA is not an available option for some conditions including:
- Pregnancy
- Osteoporosis
- Advanced heart disease
- Advanced age
- Bone weakening diseases
- Cancer
- Certain circulatory diseases
- Uncontrolled diabetes
What To Expect
Prior To The Procedure:
After a patient is approved by their physician a typical MUA treatment plan begins with a medical screening process, clearing the patient for anesthesia. Medical tests usually will include:
- CBC blood studies
- Chest x-ray and EKG for patients age 50 and older
- Pregnancy test for female MUA patients
After receiving medical clearance, the patient is scheduled at the facility where the MUA will be performed.
The Procedure:
On the day of the MUA, the patient must be accompanied by someone who is able to drive them home after the procedure. (Most offices also have transportation available upon request.) MUA is not an invasive surgery and the actual procedure is very gentle. An intravenous catheter is inserted into the patient's arm and a board certified anesthesiologist administers a small amount of anesthesia. After the patient has fallen asleep, a process of stretching the muscles takes place for about 20 minutes. Afterward the patient wakes up and is monitored by qualified personnel until discharge. Most MUAs take place over a period of 3 consecutive days.
Post-Procedure Care
After the last MUA procedure, the patient should follow an individualized 4-6 week program designed specifically for MUA patients by a specially trained team of physical therapists. Rehabilitation includes stretching, flexibility and strengthening exercises. This regimented post-MUA therapy will help the patient regain pre-injury strength and help prevent future pain and disability.

He taught me LC honours physics. A very nice man and generous in offering help. Unfortunately the year I took the paper there was relatively few questions on electricity, which is what we'd spent much
Nice guy...Very helpful...although can be confusing and tends to repeat himself alot...
He's a sound man but hasn't got a clue how to control a class
He must be doin somethin right, he's put up with all the cut throat actions i keep making at him!
Bag Master J, What a man. Spent 12 hours in Beaumount Hospital after he fell down the emergency stairs.

Ladies Bible Group in Bucharest
One of the recent initiatives at the Church of the Resurrection has been the introduction of a weekly Ladies Bible Study Group, led by our Chaplain the Revd Martin Jacques. The idea came from one of new members, Johana Soper (photo above on the left), who with her husband Jonathan has recently moved to Bucharest from Istanbul.
The meetings are held at the home of the Soper's, and even though this blogger is a man he has managed to get some photographs of this weeks meeting! From all accounts the coffee and cakes are excellent, but even more interesting and fulfilling is the sharing of experiences, thoughts and ideas that are stimulated through the careful and caring leadership of the Chaplain.
So,if you're a lady and in Bucharest any Tuesday morning between 1000 and1200 you will be most welcome to join the group. You can find full details on our new Church of the Resurrection website; the address is www.churchoftheresurrection.eu

Mothers are amazing. They give more than they have, and then some.
I believe God created a learning opportunity when he gave women the ability to be mothers. He not only allowed us the opportunity to give love unconditionally, he enabled us to have a part in creating a person that has unlimited potential.
For those of you who do not have a biological mother that stood next to you, I am sure life gave you many opportunities to have others fill that space.
I had a wonderful role model for my mother, and I can only hope that I have done as well with my children. Life gives you a chance to be good to people every day.
Don't limit your expression of love and caring to once a year. Be present. Be hopeful. Do whatever you can to help your children be all they can be. "Now, let's get going!" xo Sally
We are busy, that is for sure. But, what are we doing during an average day?
Give yourself a little test at the end of today. See if you can remember what you did during the day. Then see if you can remember the people you spoke to, and what experiences you are able to remember the fastest.
Most times you will remember those experiences that made an impression on you. It may have been a "bad" impression or a "good" impression. Either way, because we are so "busy," the main things that stand out at the day's end are those experiences that made us sit up and take notice.
Make some "on purpose" moments happen today. When you ask someone how they are, take a few moments and actually find out what is going on with them. Give words of encouragement. Share some positive thoughts. Listen to what others are saying. Appreciate the time you have and what a blessing you can be to someone else. I guarantee you will remember those moments!
"Now, let's get going!" xo Sally
Fill out the form below and you will be scheduled.

Online Marketing Services
"Having a website without any search engine optimisation or online marketing strategy is like blowing your whole marketing budget on a commercial and not booking any air time for it"
Online Marketing makes the most of the power of the World Wide Web to promote what you offer. The widespread use of broadband, 3G and 4G means the majority of people go online to find what they need.
Also known as Digital Marketing, Web Marketing or eMarketing; it's all about attracting website visitors and retaining their interest long enough for them to be influenced and have the desire to take action on your site.
Traditional advertising media is nowhere near as powerful - a website gives you a more accessible, controlled, interactive and instant method of communicating and promoting your offering.
It's easier to keep a website up-to-date than a brochure, and the cost of distributing your information to a global audience is substantially lower than direct marketing.
Effective promotion online requires creative, marketing and technical ability - we have combined all these within Roxbourne.
Give us a call - let us help you make a success with your online strategy. Based in Lichfield, Staffordshire, we also cover Birmingham, The Midlands and beyond.
SEO - Search Engine Optimisation
Optimising your website for search engines will help to ensure people find your website easily and early on in their internet searches when looking for a service or product that you provide.
Virtually all aspects of a website need SEO consideration - from the choice of domain name, to the design, coding, images, content - this is called Onsite SEO.
Offsite SEO is also very important - this is about gaining strong Backlinks - also known as Inbound links. These links help people find your website via other websites - AND they help search engines rate your site's popularity.
The higher the popularity of your main pages the higher you should appear in search engine results pages - SERPS. This popularity rating is called PageRank by Google - named after Larry Page.
Backlinks need appropriately worded anchor text with hypertext links to your website.
Blogs and Social Marketing
Short for weblog - a blog is an ideal place for communication - a place to put your news and fresh interesting content that people can learn from, come back to look at and hopefully act upon. Active blogs are regularly indexed by search engines - so you can see their usefulness to businesses.
You can have a blog within a main website - offering fresh info, demonstrating expertise, and if you do it right - build trust - what's needed before people hand over their hard-earned money.
Blogs are regularly crawled and indexed by search engines so they are a brilliant way to bring in visitors to your main website. Our own blog - The Roxbourne Business Blog gets just as many hits as our website some weeks.
Creating corporate pages on Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest and Facebook could also help attract visitors to your website - it doesn't work for every company but there are many brands that are making use of Social Media platforms.
You can submit your blog, individual blog posts or website's content to social bookmarking sites like Stumbleupon, Digg, Del.icio.us, etc - or give your website's visitors the ability to do it themselves. Social bookmarking is a useful way for people to manage a large number of bookmarks and share them with their contacts. The tag system allows users to look through these bookmarking sites and find information like blog posts and articles and indeed interesting website pages. If you are posting there too - people can then find your website if they like your posts.
Email Marketing
Email is clearly an instant and very low cost method of regular communication to a database of people. Objective - attract them to your well designed website and convert prospects into customers, clients, fans, etc. We can assist with the design and management of broadcast emailing.
Marketing Strategy Offline Marketing Services Web Design Services Search Engine Optimisation Send us an enquiry More about Roxbourne Read our blog
Pay-per-click Marketing
Using PPC you can get your website artificially on PAGE ONE in search results by setting-up and managing a service like Google Adwords - your Ad goes in the sponsored section and can also go on affiliate sites like Facebook, YouTube and 1000's of others in the network.
You compete for positioning with other advertisers based on how much you want to pay for each click-through for keywords.
Unlike offline advertising you get very useful up-to-date information about how many people have been exposed to your Ad, how many have clicked it and then viewed your website.
With Analytics installed you can also see pages visited and for how long - so you can make improvements to your website's navigation, content and "calls to action".
Although PPC is an excellent way to promote a website it needs to be carefully managed and monitored for it to succeed and produce a ROI - that's where we come in.
Give us a call and we'll discuss effective PPC marketing as part of your overall Online Marketing strategy.
Affiliate Marketing
This form of advertising is nearly as old as the Web.
Using an Affiliate Marketing Company your eye-catching graphical web adverts called banner ads are placed on numerous other websites.
Each time someone clicks through to your website you have to pay some money to the Marketing Company.
This and PPC need plenty of money and a well designed action-inducing website to work effectively and convert clicks into customers.
Viral Marketing
You know those funny photos or videos your friends post on Facebook, or you may have just seen them whilst browsing YouTube and other websites?
Some of them are commercially created as viral marketing projects to be spread by the public for non-commercial reasons - because they are funny usually.
It can be a blatant advert or have an advert built in. Main thing is that it's funny or interesting and helps to build brand awareness and/or get people onto your website.
We can help you create a viral marketing strategy and help it spread around the internet.

[Oh, I have a blog! Hello, Internet. Sorry it's been a few months since I've written here—been busy with the new gig.]
The best part about not rushing out of town for the Independence Day holiday was spending time in Boston on July 3rd. It was a stiflingly hot day, so after work I met friends at the pool and dipped my feet to cool off. After my friends changed out of their swim suits, we crossed a deserted Commercial Street in the North End to grab a bite at Ducali.
While crazy busy when the Bruins or Celtics are playing up the road at the Garden, Ducali was quiet on the day before a holiday. We grabbed a table and ordered a dish my friends had told me about breathlessly for months after they stumbled upon it: Pizza nachos.
I have a reputation as a bit of a nacho fiend. While they're not authentic Mexican cuisine, I could not possibly care less. The crunch of a corn chip. The creaminess of the cheese. The spice from a pickled jalapeño and the crispness of raw onion. Some women can't resist dessert; I barely make it to my entree when nachos show up before the main course.
Pizza nachos—or Nachos Italiano, per the menu—at Ducali are a different experience from the tortilla-based appetizer at a southwestern dining establishment. The most noticeable difference is the lack of chips. Ducali uses inch-wide strips of pizza dough that are baked, then topped enough cheese to clog the arteries of the most athletic diner. Even an avowed cheese lover like myself thought it was bit too much.
However, I see why the restaurant dubbed this unhealthy creation Pizza Nachos. The salami and cured meats serve the same function as chili or chicken on Mexican nachos. Hot peppers typically found in an order of calamari are sprinkled throughout the dish, giving a much needed kick and bite of vinegar to the cheese-laden bread. Like some restaurants serve salsa on the side of their nachos, Ducali serves marinara sauce for dipping in a separate small bowl. The sauce had a little kick of its own and was enjoyed by everyone at our table.
One minor quibble I had was the Pizza Nachos being served in a bowl. It seemed to trap the steam from the bread and cheese, leaving the strips of pizza dough at the bottom of the bowl a bit soggy. It seems a traditional platter would help maintain the crispness of the ends throughout the serving.
Pro tip: Don't order a ton of pizza if you're splitting the pizza nachos with a small group. This appetizer eats like a meal. Consider ordering a light salad instead.
Another pro tip: If you don't have plans to visit Boston soon, you can make your own pizza nachos at home thanks to Thrillist. [h/t ATF for the link and the experience of pizza nachos]

Here is what my plan is for the week: Monday-Indonesian Chicken http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/indonesian-ginger-chicken-recipe/index.html This recipe is really easy, and I just serve it with steamed veggies and rice.

Hey Kara! I have been trying to do the same thing lately! Now that we don't live across the street from the grocery store, and I'm working more, I'm trying to cut down on trips to the store by being more organized. And, hopefully save a little money in the process. I was actually thinking of you the other night when I made this: http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/creamy-chicken-spaghetti-casserole/ It was easy, tasted good, and made a ton of food. Plus, I have enough chicken left over (it used about half of the bird) to make enchiladas or something else later in the week. If it sounds good to you, I definitely recommend it.
Thanks for sharing your recipes!
March 5, 2012 - 2:07 pm
Can you do this every week!? I love getting ideas from other people. I'm not very good at meal planning, but when I do, I'm so glad I did. Denver 's gone for work this week, so I have a hard time planning stuff when the kids don't usually appreciate my meals. So I usually take these weeks to make stuff that I really want and then we usually have breakfast for dinner at least once. By the way, what exactly is yum sauce? i've never heard of it.
March 5, 2012 - 4:16 pm
I am so excited for thursdays dinner! I made our menu this weekend too. I am going to try and stick to it. The week goes so much better with a plan:)
March 5, 2012 - 5:18 pm
I'm terrible at meal planning…but it really makes life easier and meal time so much less stressful. Love seeing what's on your menu. Keep posting them so hopefully it will rub off on me one of these days! So nice running into you at the store last week…did you like how I was lamenting to you about Weight Watchers while carrying around a package of Oreos in my basket??
March 6, 2012 - 10:11 am
I usually get home around 4:15, so I have time to get dinner started pretty early. On work days, I usually cook things that are fairly quick, and save more involved dishes for weekends or Mondays (which I have off). My system for planning meals involves a spreadsheet (of course!) with main dishes on the left, and side dishes on the right. The night before I go grocery shopping, I ask Curt if he has any special requests for the week, and then look over my list of meal options to pick out what to do for the week. It really helps me keep a good variety while sticking with things that I know I can do. If I try something new, I usually do it on a weekend so we can order out if we have to!
It would be so fun to see you and Miriam! You'll have to let me know if you are hosting play time this summer and we will come by! I can't believe how fast these kids grow…
March 6, 2012 - 2:15 pm
I second the request that you do this every week. You KNOW I have a hard time planning new things, so it's helpful to see what's for dinner at your house!
Applesauce making was a family affair the other day, and my kids had so much fun helping. Yes, when all of the regular spoons are in the dishwasher, we resort to eating off of measuring spoons. "Say Ah Miriam!" Here is a video of the kids making applesauce all by themselves: And the kids […]

I LOVE the kids using the measuring spoons! That is SO fun! And the applesauce looks delicious! My three-year-old decided all applesauce is baby food and refuses to eat it. Maybe if we made some she have a vested interest in trying it…
October 19, 2011 - 9:09 am
Levi LOVES looking at your photos of Gabe. Maybe we should get together again sometime.
October 19, 2011 - 1:20 pm
Sophia's eyelash-batting while cranking the sauce maker is *adorable*. Miriam looks like she's thinking, "Come on, guys! Get the spoon IN MY MOUTH!"
October 19, 2011 - 10:00 pm
October 20, 2011 - 9:57 am
I also love Sofia's "one-for-you, one-for-me" method. Very cute. How much applesauce did you make? Do you freeze it or can it?
October 23, 2011 - 12:15 am
That is a super handy looking contraption. Where did you end up getting your apples?
Am I the last person to catch on to the awesomeness of grilling your pizza on the bbq? I don't know if we will ever go back to baking pizza in an oven again. I will admit that I don't usually make my crust from scratch. I usually buy Winco or Trader Joe's fresh pizza […]

Our favorite pizza dough is from Big River…they sell it at Fred Meyer in the natural foods section (and maybe at the co-op too). We've never tried grilling our pizza but it sounds tasty!
October 8, 2011 - 8:16 pm
I've heard the Big River dough is good. If I were on top of things, I would just plan and make my own every time, but I'm not on top of things… so I probably will just keep buying dough
Juliette with her adorable and fun family. There are many different levels of ability when it comes to cooking and baking. There are people who know pretty much nothing and get take out or cook completely out of boxes. Next, there are people who may cook a tiny bit but still rely on processed food […]

Lovely interview and gorgeous photos! I'm so glad you liked the Massaged Kale Salad, it's one of my favorites too ~Tricia
July 20, 2011 - 10:17 am
I've sampled some of Juliette's fare and agree that it is quite good! I've just started branching out from recipes and my mom's hand me down tried and trues. I've been trying to find new and easier ways to use dried beans, like making my own refried pinto and black beans. I really like to make my kid's birthday cakes too! I think I may have peaked for Grace's fifth birthday though, she wants the same thing this year!
July 20, 2011 - 12:37 pm
I am so jealous of Juliette's cooking skills! And she is such a relaxed, down to earth mama too!
July 20, 2011 - 10:12 pm
Juliette is an amazing cook for sure. I feel privileged to eat at her home whenever I'm invited. Sometimes I even invite myself.
July 31, 2011 - 5:43 pm
How did I miss this post? Juliette is so funny about her cooking, if she makes something and you say, "is it good or was it good?" She'll say, "It was alright." Then you taste it and omg it is g-r-e-a-t. She downplays all her cooking. Perfect modesty. Then I make something and I say, "wow, try this it's great!" and she says, "don't talk it up so much." HAahahah! I'm need to learn her modesty. Ask her for her Marshmallow recipe!
Yogurt making is my new thing. My friend Adrienne (who is pretty much a goddess at all things domestic) showed me this simple way to make yogurt. It ends up being so much cheaper than buying it at the store, and it will keep in your fridge for a long time! Some people use dehydrators […]

So cool! Not sure if I am brave enough to try it though. Do you use plain yogurt for the cultures, or is a flavored yogurt ok?
June 21, 2011 - 7:04 am
June 21, 2011 - 8:16 am
You are so cute! I might give this a go just to amaze the kids and bewilder Chris.:)
June 21, 2011 - 8:22 am
I know I should try it, but it seems too crazy! You have talked about this for awhile and I have to be honest I want to try it but I am a little fearful :). So you are right, worse case scenario I am out a gallon of milk.
June 21, 2011 - 8:27 am
We use to make our own yogurt. We would put it on the water tank, in our apartment, to keep it warm. I like the sleeping bag idea too.
June 21, 2011 - 9:03 am
Kara- I love you and you make me laugh. That is all!
June 21, 2011 - 9:55 am
Hmmm… interesting. I might even be able to handle this. Other than it being cheap, what are the other benefits to making your own yogurt? Is it healthier?
June 21, 2011 - 9:57 am
P.S. You look really good! You are looking so fit!!
June 21, 2011 - 7:13 pm
I was just talking to my hubby last night about making our own yogurt, it would save us bundles!! Glad to know that it's working for you! I'm pretty much incompetent in the kitchen, but I think this is something that even I could handle. Now if I could just get the hubby on board…I convinced him to switch from his trusty Yoplait to Nancy's/Stoneyfield/Chobani (whatever is cheapest) just a couple months, so baby steps I guess
June 21, 2011 - 8:30 pm
Thanks so much for posting – I'm going to give this a try! (You've also inspired me to make fruit-n-yogurt popsicles this week, so the timing for this post was perfect!!).
June 22, 2011 - 1:10 am
Thank you for posting!! I've soooo been wanting to make my own yogurt for a really long time now, but have been intimidated. Not sure what it is, but something about using a sleeping bag makes it less intimidating.
June 22, 2011 - 11:37 am
A sleeping bag is such a neat idea!
We have a yogurt maker at our house and we sometimes make coconut milk yogurt because I think dairy bothers Victor's eczema.
June 22, 2011 - 5:49 pm
Kara….too funny! And Chris goes along with you…even better
June 24, 2011 - 12:28 am
Yeah it's pretty much the same process as with cows milk except you have to add about a tablespoon of maple syrup because the coconut milk doesn't have enough sugar to feed the bacteria without it. It doesn't thicken up as much as regular yogurt but Victor likes it.
