Why to choose NLU Delhi?
NLU Delhi is on the hit list of all the aspiring law candidates. Targeted by many and achieved by a few! This college holds a lot of importance among the young aspiring lawyers.
But what is so amazing about the college which attracts students to it? Let's find that out:
- NLUD being a new venture of the National Law University is an attraction! Nonetheless, everyone wishes to be a part of the new and fast growing. From academics to debating to the jewel in the crown of any law school, mooting, NLUD had done phenomenally well. As a new law school, it is brimming with energy and drive. The speed with which it is growing, the top spot isn't too far. Students here are very enthusiastic and driven with energy to learn. The students love working towards a bevy of different goals.NLUD has none of the stagnation and self-assured complacency that inevitably creeps into one's mind when they know they are established and considered the best.
- A sprawling campus and well stocked library in it indicate the wealth of the University. From the world class moot court hall to the enviable conference and meeting rooms, no expense has been spared to create a world class infrastructure for students. NLUD helps you to be a part of a legal education field that doesn't need to undertake deliberations before spending the money for student's education. The performance of students in the moot court expenses can be evaluated by the expenses done by the college in the same. This sort of generosity and willingness to spend money on worthy projects sets NLUD apart from all its competitors.
- There are few personal reasons associated with the attraction of students to the college as derived from the students already pursuing the exam. They feel like home in the campus, around the faculty and in the hostel as well. This is a bliss to the Delhiites! Being able to go to law school without having to catch a plane every time I want to come back home is a great draw. A legal degree is not that easy, and can get very stressful and difficult. College in your city allows one to unwind, relax and go back to work fighting fit. Moreover, the hundred tiny problems that accompany outstation students: laundry troubles, scrambling to go to the market, awkward forced interaction with some remote relatives who are your local guardians, is not something Delhiites have to worry about.

This week, we were asked to review another outfit from Matilda Jane's newest collection. Once again, my daughter and I are both completely in love with what they sent. She'd wear her MJ outfits to school every day if she could, but alas, Mom isn't that good at keeping laundry done.
This time, we had the Marjorine Top in Arctic Ice paired with Madeline Bennys and the Lauren Rose headband.
Despite some pretty doggone cold weather, she wanted to go outdoors for her pictures, so….we did! Enjoy, don't don't forget to take a peek at MJ's website. Even if you've got little boys, its fun to look at all the different ways to put their outfits together.

How Freight Bill Factoring Can Help Trucking Companies
Trucking companies understand how difficult it can be trying to run an operation while waiting for invoices to be paid. Some clients may not pay until 60 days after a job has been completed.
Meanwhile, the trucking company must continue to pay its bills in order to keep their business afloat, sometimes on very little cash. Labor must be paid and gas purchased without any cash from the client (at least not for 30-90 days).
Many trucking companies are forced to rely on credit to keep their businesses going or risk losing everything. One option that is starting to be used by many businesses in the industry is freight bill factoring.
Freight bill factoring provides a trucking company with fast cash. Instead of waiting 30-90 day to get paid for jobs they already, they can be paid in 7 days from a factoring company. This gives companies the money they need to pay their drivers, recoup their transportation costs and also take on new jobs, all without taking on any new debt.
The process of factoring (also referred to as invoice funding, to financing, and accounts receivable factoring) is simple enough. It involves two things, a company's invoices and a factoring company, also known as the factor. The factor purchases a company's invoices for cash and then collects these invoices for a business for a fee. Typically this fee is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.5%-3.5%.
Here is an example: Super Road Trucking Company may have just completed a $50,000 job for a client with very good credit. They have invoiced their client and expect to be paid in 30 days. This means that Super Road won't be able to use any money from the client to pay their driver, gasoline or any other related expenses for that particular job. Because they don't yet have the money they are having trouble financing new business and have thus turned down several large contracts.
They decide to use a factoring company. The factor pays Super Road $45,000 for the invoice and then collects it themselves. Once the receive it, they return it to Super Road, minus agreed upon fee. Problem solved, further damage averted. SuperRoad get the money they need and is now able to continue with operations.
Hopefully, you are able to see the benefit of freight bill factoring. It is an opportunity for truck companies to get capital to continue or expand operations without taking on any new debt. It is important to note that this only works if the company or person who owes the balance on the invoice has good credit. This provides insurance for the factor that they will receive their money after fronting it for the company.
Standard charges for this type of service differ but fall often somewhere between 1.5% and 3.5%, though this can differ. The costs will be affected by invoice periods. If a company allows for a 60-day turnaround, they will be charged more than a company that has a 30-day turn-around. This is because it may take longer for the factor to recoup their money.
How you can use freight factoring to its full potential
Freight factoring: What is it exactly?
Freight Factoring is a service that is closely tied to the factoring business model. In factoring business, you are provided with the finances to keep your business operating if you lack the funds to do so. Factoring has provided many small businesses with the financial means necessary to keep on operating and keep exponentially expanding their growth.
Factoring for freight services closely resembles that base model for factoring, Through the use of cash advances from factoring services, many freight and carrier companies have gotten the funds they need to pay off current expenses. And they have used that cash advance from freight factoring services to keep their business growing and at the same time get more clients for their business too.
Freight factoring works through the factoring company purchasing customer invoices on behalf of the freight company. They can do so and in bulk because they can purchase shipping invoices and orders at a discounted price. They can then "sell" these shipping invoices to freight companies. Freight factoring companies are essentially funding the trucking and carrier companies with the initial money to cover the expenses of finishing a shipping job.
Freight factoring services also make it easier for the carrier companies to handle the accounts receivable portion of the business. This is because freight factoring companies will be in charge of collecting the payments from the customers, leaving the freight companies themselves with less risk of getting paid. As long as the freight and trucking company finishes the job, they will be paid by the freight factoring service that they have chosen to work with.
Factoring services
Many freight companies have availed of factoring services. This is because freight factoring companies can provide a wide range of beneficial services to companies. The services of a freight factoring company are usually also adaptive to the needs of their clients, so if you need a tailor fit plan to fit your needs, then you can usually ask the factoring company for more information or a custom quotation that could go for your budget. This kind of flexibility and adaptability of factoring companies has made it so that even for small freight companies, with only a single operator and owner, it can still be economical to hire a freight factoring service.
Freight factoring services can also be especially beneficial to companies in need of an injection in cash flow. This need for funding could stem from the fact that expenses in the trucking industry can be high. Through the use of freight factoring services, many companies can get some funding to complete a job. And they are even able to grow their income because they can potentially gain more clients by getting more jobs from a factoring company. The cash advances from a factoring company could cover expenses such as gasoline, repair and maintenance costs, rental fees, and other kinds of expenses that you would need to cover if you want to keep your freight company in operation.
Freight factoring companies are also very easy to work with. They will often provide high-quality service with responsive customer support. Many freight factoring companies also have flexible plans for their various clients, who have different needs. Getting adequate funding to cover the costs of carry goods can be especially difficult for small freight companies. That is why factoring services could make it possible for you to get your expenses covered in a hassle-free way through working with a freight factoring service.

Malagor, Norar Remontar, and I stepped out of the elevator and into a room lit just like the one from which we had left. This room had no geometric video controller in it however, and it was triangular in shape, with the elevator opening in the middle of one of three equal sides, and an open doorway on the wall to our left.
"This is peculiar," said Norar Remontar.
I nodded my head at the understatement. "I would be willing to bet that this elevator, these rooms, the lighting, and the controls for the video images, are all artifacts of the Elder Gods, or whomever it was that created Ecos.
"I am inclined to agree," said Norar Remontar.
We looked around this new room for several moments, but found nothing of interest. Finally Malagor voiced the opinion that we really had no other alternative but to head down the hallway and see where it led us. I was toying with the idea of suggesting that we try our luck one more time in the mysterious elevator, but I decided that Malagor was probably right. It was time to continue on our way. That is just what we did.
The dark hallway beckoned us like a gaping maw, but I tried not to think of it that way. It really doesn't take too long to adjust to continual daylight. I think it would be much harder to adjust to continual darkness. Norar Remontar turned on his small flashlight; I unsheathed my sword, and the three of us with a quiet look between us, started down the long hallway. This time the hallway continued straight for what must have been five miles before opening into any type of room what so ever. At last it did, and as soon as we stepped into the room, I knew we were in for trouble.
A sudden wave of stench assaulted my nostrils. It was the smell of several dozen bodies which had not seen a bath in a long time, mixed with the smell of bodily waste accumulated over a period of several generations. I wasn't the only one to smell it. Malagor immediately began coughing and gagging, to the extent that I feared he would pass out. A look of disgust crossed Norar Remontar's face, but otherwise he remained characteristically stoic.
Malagor had just regained his own composure, when a horde of creatures burst screaming toward us from the dark. There were a score or more of the short, bipedal, four armed rat-like creatures, and they attacked using stone axes and razor sharp teeth. Screaming like banshees, the Kartags literally fell upon us.
I skewered the first creature to reach me on the end of my sword, turned, and threw my shoulder into the next one, sending it flying backwards into its fellows. At that moment the entire room was lit up by the incredible brightness of the Amatharian sword unsheathed. It sizzled and sparked as Norar Remontar used it to cut through the bodies of three of the Kartags. At almost the same moment, Malagor let loose with a burst of light rifle fire which cut a nice round smoking hole in the chest of another rat. This display of destruction was all that was necessary to convince most of the beasts to retreat. I quickly lopped off the head of one who apparently was having difficulty making that decision.

A new Swedish crime saga. A new M.O. to discover…
Based on Anne Holt's best-selling "Vik/Stubø" series of novels, Modus is an adaptation of the fourth book – Fear Not ('Pengemannen') – written in 2009. The first episode of Modus generated critical acclaim when the series aired on Sweden's TV4 in September 2015. The show kept Swedish viewers hooked throughout the first season run. FremantleMedia International confirmed that the Swedish premiere of Modus "reached over 1.2 million viewers, taking a share of 37.2%. The incredible launch makes Modus TV4's biggest drama launch in over 2 years and Sweden's number 1 drama launch of 2015 to date." The TV4 Drama Director Josefine Tengblad amplified the success of Modus: "This is the best thing that could happen… It sets the bar for how the series will continue its international travels." Since then, a second season has been commissioned by TV4.

Now, the new eight-part Nordic Nordic Noir series is something to look forward to on BBCFour. The BBC Head of Programme Acquisitions Sue Deeks shared her excitement: "Modus is an exciting atmospheric thriller with an icy core. It is perfect for Saturday nights on BBCFour."
Melinda Kinnaman, sister of The Killing (US) (2011-2014) and the Easy Money trilogy (2010-2013) actor Joel Kinnaman, stars as our new heroine Inger Johanne Vik. Previously seen in The Bridge III (2015) and The Eagle (2004-2006), Melinda is joined by distinguished actor Krister Henriksson of Henning Mankell's Wallander series (2005-2013). Modus co-stars Henrik Norlén (Thicker than Water, 2014- ) and Alexandra Rapaport (The Hunt, 2012 and The Sandhamn Murders, 2010-2015).
The investigation begins with a heinous killing spree over the course of Christmastime. Inger Johanne Vik (Kinnaman) is a criminal psychologist and profiler who must balance her personal life by taking care of her autistic daughter Stina (Esmeralda Struwe). However, when Stina witnesses one of the slayings, Vik is drawn even deeper into the chilling case as she uncovers an insidious connection to a fundamentalist European network of villains.
Modus unites Norwegian author Holt with International Emmy Award-winning writers Mai Brostrøm and Peter Thorsboe, who have penned successful Nordic crime shows Unit One (2001-2004), The Eagle (2004-2006), The Protectors (2009-2010) and The Team (2015- ). Modus also features directors from hit Scandinavian crimes shows, including Lisa Siwe (The Bridge, 2011) and Mani Maserrat Agah (Arne Dahl: Bad Blood, 2012).
Modus comes to BBCFour soon. The UK air date is still to be announced. Check back here for further updates.

Search County Kerry
Vera Butler, born in County Kerry. A nun who helps poor people, is Hibernian of the Year.
Sister Vera Butler was born in Portmagee, County Kerry, Ireland.
Vera Butler, a Roman Catholic nun who has provided relief to the needy of New Orleans, especially homeless and poor people whose lives were turned upside down by Hurricane Katrina, has been named Hibernian of the Year (2014) by a host of local and regional Irish cultural organizations.
Sister Vera received the award Monday, St. Patrick's Day 2014, from several chapters of the Ancient Order of Hibernians at the 138th annual St. Patrick's Day Banquet.
Vera Butler went to the Presentation Sisters in Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ireland for high school. Soon after she entered the congregation and as a novice, she became a grade school teacher and taught in Ireland before becoming one of the founding sisters of the mission in Louisville, Colorado.
The Presentation Sisters was started on Christmas Eve 1775, when the four sisters said: 'How are we going to celebrate Christmas?' said Presentation Sister Vera Butler of the community of religious women founded in Cork by Nano Nagle. "They thought 'Let's invite 50 of the poorest people to dinner' and it's been a tradition ever since that we feed the hungry and poor on Christmas Day."
After Colorado, Sister Vera ministered in Metairie, Louisiana as a school teacher; in Warner Robins as Principal; as Development Director for the US Province and later as Outreach Coordinator for St. Joseph's Church in New Orleans.
Sister Vera has been ministering among those made poor at St. Joseph Church/Lantern Light for fourteen years.
Sister Butler said that it was a wonderful experience and a time of transformation. She said that she learned from our guests that God is the one who is in control and how important it is to put all our trust in God.
After Katrina struck on Aug. 29, 2005, Sister Vera went door to door in devastated neighbourhoods to get an idea of people's needs and set up programs to meet them. For this work, she received Catholic Extension's Lumen Christi Award in 2006.
After working 15 years at St. Joseph Church she then served as director of its Lantern Light Ministry. Sr. Vera has directed the Presentation Sisters' Mid-City based "Lantern Centre Ministries" for the poor and homeless since 2005, initially out of a tiny trailer parked on the grounds of the landmark Tulane Avenue church.
In 2007, Butler helped create the Rebuild Centre behind the church, where four Presentation Sisters now operate a food pantry and free lunch program, mail service, emergency medical care, legal help and classes in reading and writing as well as providing housing assistance, birth certificate and ID assistance and medical care to people in need. For five days a week, Sister Vera and the other members of her order feed as many as 250 people each day.
Sister Butler organizes the staff and sets up a serving line, as she does Monday through Friday. Once lunch was ready, she announces grace over a megaphone, adding a special prayer for God's continued blessing. The crowd move in orderly fashion, and lunch is quickly over.
Wearing a quilted vest and khaki pants, Sister Vera Butler scurries from one end of the Rebuild Centre to the other. Sister Vera says "I'm too blessed to be depressed," smiling, explaining her unshakable optimism amid the poor and homeless in the Tulane-Gravier neighbourhood.
Founded in Ireland in 1775 by Nano Nagel, the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary have the mission of serving the poor, Butler said.
The sisters based at St. Joseph Church — Butler, Enid Storey, Anna Raimon and Maureen Nolan — prepared food, clean up and socialize with guests in what are called "corporal works of mercy."
Ten young pre-novitiates recently visited New Orleans, part of a process of discernment that helps them decide whether to choose the religious life. They said "We really believe it is a special calling," said Sister Julie Hurtado, who is based in San Antonio.
Hurtado, a registered nurse, administered neck and shoulder massages, touching guests in a "therapeutic way," she said. Massage is important to those who are homeless because they often sleep on the ground. Many people won't even look at them, she said. There is value "just to be present and provide a listening ear."
A typical homeless person Tyrone Craig, who is disabled, sat on a bench under the wooden shelter while the sisters prepared the meal. In 2010, when his mother died, he found compassion at the Rebuild Centre, he said.
"I like the sisters. They give me great comfort — to know that somebody cares," said Craig who comes to the centre daily.
In a typical day starting at about 12:50 p.m., the daily lunchtime, the crowd starts forming. "I wonder how they do it sometimes," Craig marvelled.
Another guest Wendell Sneed was already hungry and waiting in line. Before Hurricane Katrina he worked at Xavier University, but now sleeps "wherever night catches" him. Despite being homeless, Sneed can shower at the Rebuild Centre, "trying to keep up appearances," he said.
"It gives you self-esteem. You've taken a shower, eaten and now go out and do something," said Sneed, who said he's always looking for work.
"If it wasn't for them, I think a lot of us would lose our wits," he said.
Judah Leggett, 30, helped serve the meal. She teaches college history in San Antonio, but plans to take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.
The sisters believe their lives are enriched through the work they do with the hundreds of poor and homeless people who come to the centre every week.
"They transform our lives and, hopefully, we transform theirs," Sister Butler said.
Her first task was to assist Sister Agnes Eucharia in begging from door to door, which was a strange and ml embarrassing experience, but they collected a good deal of money and they used this to buy brand new clothes for poor children.
Sister Eucharia taught her a valuable lesson. "She taught me real respect for the poor — you didn`t give shabby clothes to people who felt shabby about themselves or worn out clothes to those who were worn down."
Her time spent as an assistant to a pastoral worker in the Hammersmith and Paddington area of London, helping poor Irish families, was a real eve-opener, and then, after her novitiate, she was sent to work in a school, laundry and youth club at Stanhope Street Convent in Dublin, in the early 1960`s.
A big turning point in her life came when a young bishop, Peter Birch, was appointed to the Diocese of Ossory In Kilkenny in the mid-1960`s at a time when social services were practically non-existent in Ireland. Bishop Birch was looking for someone to help in his pioneering work of setting up Kilkenny Social Services and Sister Stan was sent by her order to join him.
Inspired by Bishop Birch, who was an outspoken advocate for a comprehensive program of community care and social services. Sister Stan became Involved in developing new ideas and new services to help the young and the old, the disabled, the sick and the poor. She helped to set up a comprehensive system of community care in Kilkenny which became a blueprint for the rest of the country.
Bishop Birch enkindled in Sister Stan a deep desire to see things through to their completion and to see the possibility in people and in situations. In Bishop Birch's eyes, says Sister Stan, "everybody is an artist of some kind and it is up to us to try to help them to realise their potential, to identify people's particular gifts and skills and to draw them out.
He was committed to establishing social services, but he also wanted everyone to experience valuable things, things that would be healing and that would bring beauty into their lives."

10 Games That Should Be Announced as PS4 Launch Title on Feb 20
February 20, a day when history will be made by Sony, as it is almost certain that the firm will officially unveil its next-generation Playstation console and Future of gaming, "PS4" at Playstation Meeting 2013. Talking about current generation gaming (including both PS3 and Xbox 360), you all will agree if i say it has lasted longer than everyone of us expected, and so gamers are pretty eager and excited to experience the next stage from the two giants in the gaming industry (Sony and Microsoft). All the latest teasers and leaks point out that Sony will be leading our way into next-generation gaming at Playstation Meeting 2013.
So here's our list of Games that Sony should announce as PS4 Launch Title. If we missed out any of your choice, let us know in the comment section below
1: The Last Guardian
Sony officially revealed The Last Guardian at E3 2009, and was originally given a late 2011 release date internationally at Tokyo Game Show 2010, but was pushed back to 2012 on April 20, 2011. Further complications, including Ueda's departure as a full-time employee of Sony though remaining as a consultant on the project, have left the release date in question.
Earlier this month, Fumitu Ueda suddently came out in open and stated that The Last Guardian is still in development by an incredibly talented team, and decision regarding release date will be announced by Sony pretty soon. Sony won't get any better stage than Playstation Meeting 2013 for official announcement of The Last Guardian as PS4 launch title.
2: Eight Days:
Eight Days from SCE London Studio was off to a flying start when it was first revealed at E3 2006. However destiny played its part and on On 4 June 2008 Sony announced that Eight Days has been cancelled. Sony released a statement on the cancellation, "This decision was made following an internal review of all games and it was deemed that with the incredibly strong list of exclusive first party titles coming up both this year and in the near future, resource should be reallocated to enhance those projects closer to completion".
Two weeks after the cancellation of Eight Days, SCE President, Shuhei Yoshida, stated that the lack of an online mode in Eight Days was "part of the consideration" to cancel the game. Shuhei Yoshida also stated that the cancellation of Eight Days was not because it was not failing in production, but because Sony is increasingly moving towards online-supported games, and Eight Days did not fit that overall strategy.
However, on October 2009, it was confirmed that Eight Days hasn't been cancelled, but merely put 'ON HOLD'. Eight Days for PS4 will be the biggest gift from Sony to all its Playstation fans.
3: Agent
In July 2007, Sony announced that Rockstar North is working on a new franchise exclusively for Playstation 3, but details of the project, including its title, were not announced until June 2009 during the Sony press conference at E3, and the game was none other than AGENT.
Rockstar North via press-release revealed that AGENT is set during the Cold War and will take players into "the world of counter-intelligence, espionage and political assassinations". Rockstar and Sony has yet to reveal any details regarding the setting other than the fact that it will be set in the late 1970s.
After this initial announcement at E3 2009, we haven't seen or heard anything realistic about Agent. On 15 August 2011, Leigh Donoghue, a former Rockstar North environmental artist who worked on Grand Theft Auto IV and Agent posted the first images of Agent in his online resume. The shots show a character as well as various indoor environments from the game. Both of the images clearly mention that they were made in 2009.
On 1 August 2012, when asked about Agent at Take Two's Q1 2013 report, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said "we haven't announced anything about that title.
Agent announcement was made in 2007 and now we are in the start of 2013. SIX years have passed, Sony is known for surprising its fan-base, so who knows what they have in store for them at Playstation Meeting 2013?, probably Agent for PS4?.
4: Killzone 4
This has been in the making for a long time now. The next installment in the popular PS3 exclusive series has been muttered about for months, and now every leak and rumor state only one thing "Killzone 4 is PS4" launch title.
Recently Guerrilla Games art director admitted that the studio is working on three unannounced game, out of which third one is directed by the man who led the original Killzone's development. No official details yet, but insider source points towards official reveal at Playstation Meeting 2013.
5: Gran Turismo 6
Earlier today Sony revealed brand new promotional video of Playstation Meeting 2013 titled as "Changing the Definition of Game". The video prominently features the Gran Turismo series, highlighting how it redefined the genre of driving games and was designed to "appeal to an older group of consumers".
A promotion of Playstation Meeting 2013 (PS4 reveal event) with Gran Turismo series does speaks a lot of thing, yes you got right, Gran Turismo 6 for PS4.
6: The Phantom Pain
Moby Dick Studio today updated the official website of The Phantom Pain with new teaser message and figure "2:20". The message seems to be about what The Phantom Pain is all about but figure "2:20" pointed directly towards Sony's "Playstation Meeting 2013" on February 20, 2013.
So guys don't get surprise at all if The Phantom Pain is announced as PS4 exclusive (as was the case with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots).
7: Battlefield 4
Battlefield 4 is almost certain for PS4 after EA via Origin leaked a beta pre-order bonus with Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Also Battlefield 4 development is on right track and public reveal is just around the corner, as EA has already started showing the game behind closed door (Today Battlefield 4 was shown to GameStop CEO).
DICE and EA is targetting late 2013 release window for Battlefield 4, and so we can be rest assured that it would arrive on PS4. Furthermore, EA CEO John Riccitiello confirmed at recent financial call meeting that they will talk about next-generation Battlefield around May 2013.
With Battlefield 3 we saw what Frostbite 2 Engine is capable of on PS3, and now we all are curious to see to what it can achieve with Battlefield 4 on PS4.
8: Rainbow Six: Patriots
Rainbow Six: Patriots was scheduled to released in 2013 for PS3. We saw an amazing trailer for the game, including Heavy Rain-esque Rainbow Six: Patriots concept video, but at the end of 2011, everything went into dark, then suddently Ubisoft CEO Yves Gulllemot openly confirmed that Rainbow Six: Patriots is still in development, and there's good chance that the game has gone nex-generation.
So guys don't be surprise if Rainbow Six: Patriots is announced as launch title for PS4 at Playstation Meeting 2013.
9: Uncharted 4
After the release of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception many thought that Naughty Dog Studio will go for a long break before starting work on something new. But to every-ones surprise in-came The Last of Us (at VGAs 2011). At the time of The Last of Us announcement it was revealed that Sony split Naughty Dog studio into two team, out of which one continued the work on Uncharted franchise, whereas the second one continued work on The Last Us.
On the basis of this we can easily conclude that we will see more of Drake and Uncharted series in terms of Uncharted 4 sooner that too on a grand scale (i.e on next-generation Playstation console, PS4). I am keeping my finger cross for this one.
10: New Intecllectual IP from SCE Santa Monica Game
The relationship between Santa Monica Studio and Playstation console goes a long way. The studio is responsible for tonnes of awesome Playstation exclusive game (God of War, Fat Princess, Flower, Starhawk). Recent rumor stated that Santa Monica is working on a brand new intellectual property for PS4, however no details was leak as to what exactly it is, a spin-off of previous franchise or an entirely new game?.
Enough of sequel and prequel from Santa Monica, i am betting my money on a new IP from Santa Monica for PS4.

"The apostrophe is most vulnerable to the march of progress," said Ms. Norris, a query proofreader for the New Yorker since 1993.
This year's Martha's Vineyard Book Festival takes place August 1 through August 2 and features a mix of fiction and nonfiction authors, including former congressmen and chefs and best-selling authors.
Chris Fischer knows Martha's Vineyard well. The family homestead, Beetlebung Farm, is the primary subject of Mr. Fischer's new book, The Beetlebung Farm Cookbook.
Mark Leibovich's new book This Town, a critical expose of the Washington power structure and New York Times best seller this summer, is as popular with the right as it is with the left. Or with anyone who believes that government is broken.
Steam rose from many, many mugs of coffee on Saturday morning as the Martha's Vineyard Book Festival began at the Harbor View Hotel in Edgartown. More than 30 authors attended the two-day festival, participating in readings and panel discussions at the Harbor View on Saturday and on the grounds of the Chilmark Community Center on Sunday.
The book festival has been held on the Vineyard every other summer since 2005, conceived and organized by Suellen Lazarus, a seasonal resident of Chilmark.
11:00 a.m. History: Past and Present with Jill Lepore (Mansion of Happiness), Tony Horwitz (Midnight Rising), and Tom Reiss (The Black Count). Moderator Patricia Sullivan
11:50 a.m. Gangsters, Guns and Sociopaths with Kevin Cullen and Shelley Murphy (Whitey Bulger), and Dick Lehr (Whitey). Moderator John Kennedy
Eric Asimov has been the chief wine critic for The New York Times since 2004 where his weekly column appears in the Dining section.

Since the state of Washington legalized cannabis for recreational use in 2012 and with Oregon following suit in 2014, the amount of tax revenue raised from marijuana making its way across the border into Idaho has been staggering.
The Idaho State Police has gone from 131 pounds in 2011 to almost 1,650 pounds last year. These statistics only include busts of a pound or more.
"We see it all the time and there's no question that we are having to change the way that we train, the way that we do our job," says ISP Capt. Bill Gardiner.
Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board (WLCB) spokesperson Mikhail Carpenter claims to control and track every aspect of the production of legal pot, but the board admits, "The black market still exists and could also be accounting for seizures along the border."
Current law calls for a year in the big house along with a possible $1,000 fine while not one bill was introduced during Idaho's legislative session this year related to cannabis reform. To make a change, the Marijuana Policy Project has a helpful tool to reach the lawmakers of each state (here's Idaho).
Gardiner says they are teaching and training officers to look out for driving patterns "for someone who's been using marijuana compared to somebody who has been using alcohol." One can only speculate this means someone maniacally weaving in and out of lanes compared to someone patiently waiting in line at a local fast food restaurant.
"Some folks are under the impression that because it's legal there, and because they're a citizen of that state, those rights transfer into another state," Gardiner explained. "So sometimes they come over to Idaho not knowing that what they're doing is illegal."
We've concluded that some Idaho "folks" understand what they are doing and just want some pot.

Undead Universe
Some say the Zombie War started with a recent failed experiment. Some say it was the result of a deviously clever biological weapon. Some claim magic, damnation or curses. Others say that zombies have been around, lurking in the shadows, trapped in remote locations or locked in sealed tombs, for thousands of years. Others say that no matter how humanity does in this war, zombies will continue to be around thousands more years in the future…
Undead Universe takes a look at the smaller zombie outbreaks throughout time, allowing the players to recreate those earlier battles and playing out the potential undead wars in the past and future.
Undead Universe is intended to be used as an expansion to the core rulebook, Undead States of America. It contains guidelines for zombie wars and outbreaks against ancient armies, medieval armies, the armies of muskets and early rifles, armies in the two World Wars (Nazi Zombies!), and fictional cyberized or powered armor armies of the far future. This book revises how to do the Short Campaign Game in different eras, and introduces a new campaign game where a player fights each major zombie outbreak in history and into the future.

France has outlawed beauty pageants for children. Can we follow France's lead and do the same?
Cue the anti-government screamers who'll howl about the Nanny State interfering with a parent's right to exploit and abuse her child. Parents who make their little girls participate in these beauty pageants claim they teach their children confidence and poise.
They want to teach their little girls, sometimes as young as three years, that strutting around in heavy make-up, fake eyelashes, and sexy costumes will give her confidence and poise?
|This gives a little girl confidence?
And why would a child that young need to learn poise? They should be rolling around in the grass in their backyards, running around with their dogs or climbing trees with their siblings and playmates.
|This teaches a little girl poise?
Beauty pageants build confidence?
How about making a perfect mud pie, learning to ride a two-wheeler, helping mom or dad bake a dozen cookies, or read a book all by herself? It's a pretty good bet that those activities will contribute to a child's confidence much better than having her compare her tarted-up face to other little girls, while wiggling her little tush at the audience.
|What is this child projecting????
|What kind of parent puts make-up on a 3-year old?
Some parents don't know better, and they don't see these ridiculous pageants as child abuse. What choice does a baby or little girl have? At that young age, most children want to please their parents. These pageant parents take advantage of their little girls, who want to make mommy and daddy happy, by parading them in front of the public, looking like strippers.
Good for France for outlawing these abusive "beauty pageants" for babies and children. I hope we follow their lead.
France Outlaws Beauty Pageants Involving Children
Beauty pageants have a proud tradition in France but there are limits to what French lawmakers will accept. On Tuesday senators banned children's beauty contests to prevent the "hyper-sexualisation" of kids, promising tough sanctions for those who break the law.
Judging children under the age of 16 on their physical appearance in so-called "beauty contests" will become a criminal offence in France, the French Senate ruled on Tuesday night.
The new law forms part of the new "equality bill" presented to the French Senate on Monday by France's Minister for Women's Rights, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, which also included legislation to tackle unequal pay, domestic violence and to encourage fathers to take parental leave.
Beauty pageants have a proud tradition in France but they are not to everyone's liking, especially these involving young teenage girls, known as "mini miss" competitions. In the Senate on Tuesday centrist Senator Chantal Jouanno, author of a report "Against Hyper-Sexualisation: A New Fight For Equality" proposed an ammendment to the bill, banning the underage contests, which was backed by 196 senators, with 146 voting against it.
The sexual equality law will return to the lower house National Assembly for a second reading in November where deputees will have the final say on the so-called "Mini Miss" contests.
Here's a discussion on beauty pageants for children.

Downtown's old Cosby Hotel will have a deli, pizzeria and bakery
Downtown's old Cosby Hotel (circa 1881) was set to be demolished before redevelopers took it over a couple of years ago.
Now a deli, pizzeria and bakery are scheduled to open on the first floor in the next few weeks, and the upper floors are set for office suites using the original hotel layout.
First up will be the Milwaukee Delicatessen Co., scheduled to open in mid to late August. It will serve a variety of deli sandwiches, entree salads and Pizza 51 pizzas produced there.
Jon Gerner is managing partner of the new deli along with Jason Pryor, owner of Pizza 51 and Pizza 51 West, and two minority partners. The deli will be open daily for lunch and dinner.
Gerner spent 16 years with Grand Street Cafe and also has worked as a bartender at the West Side Local. He has spent the last two years working on the Cosby building while continuing to work one night a week at each of the two restaurants.
For the deli space, he took out the dropped ceiling, taking it back to its original height of two stories and in the process exposing painted murals and unique moldings — some with basketlike weave, some of cattle skulls. Once the linoleum was removed, he took the floor down to its original marble blocks. A second-floor room overlooks the deli through three archways.
Another Milwaukee Delicatessen also operated in the space at 101 W. Ninth St. According to newspaper reports, the German owner first took a job in the cafeteria of the New York Life Building across the street, and company employees liked his food so much that they convinced him to open his own place. Around 1908, he did, opening Milwaukee Delicatessen, naming it after the city that supplied his sausages. Al Jolson and Sophie Tucker were said to have stopped in.
That history — along with all new plumbing and wiring — gives the building the best of old and new, Gerner said. But after two years he is more than ready to trade in his renovator title for that of restaurateur.
Next up in the Cosby building, Jeremy and Michelle Schepmann plan to open Sasha's Baking Co. at 105 W. Ninth St., next door to the deli and pizzeria.
The retail space will be dominated by a massive crystal chandelier and sell such items as European-style breads, croissants, sandwiches, pastries, cinnamon rolls, strata, quiche and cookies. It also will serve bottled beers, wines and spirits, and a variety of cheeses.
Sasha's dining area will seat about 25 people at a long farmer's table and on benches and a couple of stools at the bar. It also will have an outdoor patio. It plans a late August or early September opening.
"I think this is what is left to fill in. We need some local businesses down there," said Jeremy Schepmann, who had worked at West Side Local with Gerner.

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Reveals Black Hole Ejecting Superheated Jets (Video)
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a little bit more about a supermassive black hole. It's detected a 5,000-light-year-long jet of superheated gas being ejected from this black hole in the center of the giant elliptical galaxy M87. Now, scientists have assembled time-lapse movies of this vortex of gas.
Matter drawn completely into a black hole cannot escape its enormous gravitational pull. Yet most material isn't completely sucked in. Instead, it first joins an orbiting region known as an accretion disk, which circles the black hole. Magnetic fields surrounding the black hole are thought to entrain some of this ionized gas and eject it as very high-velocity jets. Studying these jets can teach astronomers a little bit more about the black holes in our universe, which is important for understanding galaxy evolution.
"Central supermassive black holes are a key component in all big galaxies," said Eileen T. Meyer of the Space Telescope Science Institute in a news release. "Most of these black holes are believed to have gone through an active phase, and black-hole-powered jets from this active phase play a key role in the evolution of galaxies. By studying the details of this process in the nearest galaxy with an optical jet, we can hope to learn more about galaxy formation and black hole physics in general."
For the first time, the new movies show astronomers that the jet's river of plasma actually travels in a spiral motion as it's ejected. This motion is considered to be strong evidence that the plasma is traveling along a magnetic field. This field is probably coiled like a helix and arises from the spinning accretion disk of material around the black hole.
In fact, there's strong evidence for this helical structure. In the outer part of the M87 jet, one bright gas clump, called knot B, appears to zigzag, as if it were moving along a spiral path. Several other gas clumps along the jet also appear to loop around the invisible structure.
"The jet structure is very clumpy. Is this a ballistic effect, like cannonballs fired sequentially from a cannon?" asked Meyer in a news release. "Or is there some particularly interesting physics going on, such as a shock that is magnetically driven?
It turns out that it's a little bit of each. The researchers found that the clumps are very dynamic sources, which showed them a little bit more about how these black holes function.
The findings reveal a little bit more about supermassive black holes and show exactly how they might impact their surroundings. Although it's too early to determine whether all black holes function like this one, astronomers are looking forward to future studies that may lead to the answer.
The findings are published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Genetic linkage map is being constructed for watermelon based on a testcross population and an F2 population. About 51.0% and 31.8% of the markers in the testcross and F2 populations are skewed from the expected segregation ratios. AFLP markers appeared to be clustered on linkage regions, while ISSR and RAPD markers are randomly dispersed on the genome. AFLP markers also have greater genetic distances as compared with ISSR and RAPD markers, resulting in significant increase of map distance. An initial genetic map (based on the testcross population) that contains 27 ISSR and 141 RAPD markers has a total linkage distance of 1.166.2 cM. The addition of 2 ISSR, 8 RAPD and 77 AFLP markers increased the genetic distance of the map to 2,509.9 cM. Similar results with AFLP markers were also shown in mapping experiments with an F2S7 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population that was recently constructed for watermelon. Although the skewed segregation, marker order appeared to be consistent in linkage groups of the testcross and the F2 population. Experiments with SSR, and EST markers are being conducted to saturate the linkage map of watermelon genome.

The Game of the Month goes into the second round! This time we cast a glance at a rather obscure title on SNK's short-lived Hyper Neo Geo 64 hardware. Beast Busters: Second Nightmare is SNK's second installment of the Light Gun trilogy, which took its beginnings in 1989 and even got its own spin-off RPG for the Neo Geo Pocket.
The Beast Busters series was indeed one of SNK's rather unremarkable achievements. Although they were absolutely solid games for their time, they totally remained overshadowed by the similar House of the Dead series. How does the second Beast Busters title hold up to Sega's rivaling counterparts? Discuss this and much more in our monthly discussion thread!

bill-swift - August 27, 2014
The lovely Kristin Cavallari was looking leggy and sexy in a skin tight blue dress in New York City. Now when I say this outfit was skin tight, I mean it was SKIN TIGHT. It looks practically painted on. It clings to her body just right. Needless to say, (but I'll say it anyway), her ta-tas look amazing. Kristin has quite the pair of OC-cups, if you know what I mean. I remember being forced to watch Laguna Beach back in the day by a former flame and being drawn in by Kristin's funbags. The cast was always in bikinis which is the only thing that made that show watchable. But the real news is how amazing her legs look. They are all toned and muscular and oh so satisfying. He legs are also really long, like a pair of sexy majestic oak trees.
She should only wear skirts that come up to her upper thighs. She lives in LA where it's warm all the time, she could totally never cover up her legs again.

Children of Abraham
"The promise comes by trust, so that it may be by grace and may be guarenteed to all Abraham's offspring- not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. As it is written: 'I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed-the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that were not as though they were" (Romans 4:16,17) Can we, who are saved by faith in Jesus and belief in His dying on the cross for are sins, be any less trusting than Father Abraham?

Things I should not have done in the past 24 hours
Had 4 iced teas at Macaroni Grill
Attempted to insert an image I created in Illustrator into an InDesign file over and over again in spite of the fact that it kept inverting the colors every time I placed it
Given God a 'one last chance' prayer about said jpeg
Forgot to sing His praises when the file came through with the correct coloring
Stayed awake until 2am to finish something that most people will not look at until Tuesday
Eaten creamy pasta sauces and expected not to reflux it into my throat all night
Mentioned that I need a maid during Sunday school, thereby guilting my husband into doing the dishes, albeit unintentionally on my part
Felt guilty that my husband did the dishes
Eaten a bunch of spicy salsa at lunch
Ignored editing a spreadsheet that I need to finish before 7am tomorrow
Not uploaded the new belly pictures Jud took of me yesterday (Sorry, mom!)
Maybe I'll go correct some of these now. Or maybe I'll go watch all of that awesome pre-Oscar coverage. I wonder what Julia Roberts will wear tonight. I wonder how many colonics have been performed in Hollywood over the past forty eight hours. I wonder why America is falling apart.
On Tuesday I was late for work due to the lovely glucose screening I needed to complete at the OB doc. I fasted in the morning, which is a feat for non-pregnant Kim, much less the one with the baby freaking out as her stomach rumbles and drove over to the hospital by myself. It was sprinkling while I drove and I just couldn't help but get nervous about all of those rain drops and my freshly straightened hair, or maybe I was just shaky from low blood sugar. Hard to say.
I arrived early, as usual, and made a few phone calls to pass the time. When the office finally opened, I signed in and waited for them to call my name. Instead of calling me back, they just brought me a little orange drink and told me I had five minutes. You usually get handed empty containers and are told to fill them, so this was a nice change of pace. A bunch of people had been telling me stories about how terrible this drink was and I'd believed them. I shouldn't have. It tasted almost exactly like orange pop, the kind you left out on the counter for about a week and has almost gone flat. You wouldn't throw it out or anything, but you might not offer it to guests either, at least, not without some kind of caveat.
I downed the stuff in about a minute and kept reading magazines about how to throw the perfect party for baby's first birthday (in case you were wondering, I will most likely do none of those things, given the fact that the baby will not remember any of it and he will just be over stimulated by all of that mess. Whatever happened to baking a cake and just having a few adults over to watch the kid enjoy frosting for the very first time?).
The nice nurse came and got me, took my blood pressure (110/70) and then took me to the dreaded scale. Survey Says? Three pound loss.
Next she took me into a room and had me wait for the doctor. In he came, glasses on his head and my chart in hand. He checked the gestation wheel and pronounced me in the 28 week, which I had not forgotten. Then he reviewed my vitals and looked stopped when he got to my weight.
The next minute or so I sat in bemused silence as he explained to me that I should not be losing weight while pregnant, that the baby is still putting on vital fat and that our brains especially need it. When he was done, and I was feeling high and mighty for having beaten the weight gain at its own game, I reminded him that I usually weigh in the afternoon, having eaten most of the food I will consume for the entire day and about three and a half liters of liquid. The morning weight measurement was totally invalid and not really a measurement of anything. Take that, doctor smarty pants.
Today the nice nurse called me at my desk, while I was in the middle of attempting to catch up on my overdue emails that are still hanging out there from last week (I may never get ahead at this point and I am not kidding), and told me that not only do I process sugar properly, I am iron rich and gorgeous. Well, maybe not that last part, but you know how I love to embellish.
So today is Valentine's Day and I'm guessing you probably purchased something red or pink or made something with those colors. That was awfully nice of you. You are just like me and totally buy into the holiday that was created for Hallmark.
I stopped in there the other day and the place was hopping. Tons of people crowded around the cards and trying to select the one that says just what they want it to…"I sort of like you, but if someone else came along, that would be okay too" or "We used to love each other and then you had that gastric bypass surgery and now I sort of loathe you for all the attention you get" or "You have no idea how I feel about you, but I'm sure that restraining order was just your way of playing hard to get".
I found one that said enough of what I wanted it to say "I'm living in the kind of marriage everybody wishes they had and I can't believe how amazing it is. They should be jealous because you really are that awesome" and then I added my own little personal note, of course.
Leaving work early for a doctor's appointment isn't usually exciting, but when you're headed to the behbeh doctor, it's actually pretty nice. Traffic was nice and light and Jud got back from class just a little bit before I drove up. Everything was running very smoothly.
We were 15 minutes early for the appointment (even after no longer being a military dependant for the past five years, I still can't shake the early arrival to the doctor (What if they bump my appointment!?!). Then we waited. And waited. And waited until I thought I might loose my stuff. We finally saw the doctor forty-five minutes after our scheduled appointment. Awesome!
I have loved this doctor since before he removed the cancer and told me not to get pregnant right away and then I didn't listen and all of that. He is nice. He is reassuring. He is kind of Dave Ramsey-ish. But he set me off on Tuesday. Set.me.off. Not at first though. At first I was just sad.
He was looking over my chart and noticed that I have gained a total of 24lbs (for those of you not aware of the standards of body expansion during gestation, you are only 'supposed to' put on 30lbs total and that is a maximum. This is my 26th week, so that would only leave six more pounds for the last 14 weeks, meaning that I will obviously surpass that amount and be monumentally over the amount if I continue on this gaining trend (I'd be 15lbs above the maximum at a whopping 45 pregnancy pounds, bringing my weight to a grand total of….wait for it…169lbs. I can't imagine that my body would even hold up under that kind of weight, but I suppose it could).
He was all "You put on 12 lbs in 4 weeks" and I was all "Oh, no I didn't. You people didn't weigh me last time I was here. I put on 12 lbs in 8 weeks (this is still a half pound more than is recommended, but I needed to make the distinction). " Then he lectured me about watching what I eat.
Here's the deal. I do. I have not gone crazy. I do not stuff my face with sweets. I do not eat until overwhelming full. For the most part, I make pretty good decisions. He (and maybe now you too) didn't believe me. But here's the thing, before I got pregnant I worked out. A lot. A whole lot, considering that I'm an American. I was easily burning 3000 calories a week at the gym. Easily. Guess what? I don't do that now because my heart rate isn't supposed to go above 140 and frankly, walking at the gym seems like a gigantic waste of time. Want to know why? Because in order to burn 100 calories I have to walk 5 miles. FIVE. FIVE MILES for 100 calories. That's why I don't go to the gym and walk to "stay in shape" by walking. I don't believe that it even helps. Thank you, unhelpful doctor, for suggesting I start walking for a half hour per day, as if that's going to be some sort of magic. It's not.
But like I said. I didn't get this angry at first. At first I just got sad. More than sad. Crazy, ninth grade, counting calories obsessed sad. And then I got hungry. Really hungry. Low blood sugar + baby hormones making me weep and wale. It was horrible and ugly and I felt both of those things.
And then I got a grip. Sort of. And got angry. Angry that my doctor didn't ask me a bunch of questions about why I thought my weight had sky rocketed versus just making assumptions about how I must be using donuts, smothered in ice cream as a dip for my french fries and chips. I'm not. And accusations to that end only make me neurotic and cranky and depressed. So, Doctor whom I used to rave about, but for which I now harbor resentment, shut your pie hole.
So, you know how I was talking about baby stuff once and was all 'give me ideas' and 'will register soon.' Yeah, so, even though you kept up your end of the bargain, I have yet to register for anything.
Yesterday, my boss asked me (again) if I'd bothered to haul my increasingly large rear end off the sofa and into a baby store to scan items with the gun. I told her I hadn't and that registering is starting to stress me out. She just laughed and told me to go do it. She's right.
Reasons I've been Clinging to for Ignoring the Fact that I need to Register
1. lazy
2. tired
3. our SuperTarget is ghetto and overcrowded which makes me feel crazy (and Jud more so)
4. registering somewhere requires me to leave my home, the home I spend all day wishing I was in
5. Lost Season 2
6. Jud writes these silly things for school called 'papers' that take a bunch of time
7. i haven't read "Baby Bargains" yet
I could probably think of more, but these should work, right?
On the upside of this mess, I did spend a bunch of time looking at baby junk webstores (including the ridiculous ones, like Petit Tresor and the ones for us common folk, like Ikea). Through the searching and the clicking and the linking and all, I think I've settled on the way I'd like his room to look….someday. When we buy stuff for it. When we have a room for him. When we are homeowners and could put up Wayne's coating without flushing away a deposit.
This rug is the inspiration (I like the colors, navy, white and Ikea green).

The Brennan Center Visits Congress (Again)
Brennan Center Democracy Program Director Deborah Goldberg was in Washington, D.C. today testifying before the House Administration Subcommittee on Elections. She shared the Brennan Center's research on barriers to voter registration, unfair purges of the voter rolls, and the efforts to the Department of Justice to promote overly aggressive purges. Among other recommendations, she argued that Congress should:

Dannon Armstrong took a taste, then took his time.
"I can just say I do not like the turnip," the third-grader said after a pause.
With the deliberate discernment of a true gourmet, the 9-year-old tried one more bite — something else this time. "The red beets are kind of good," he said.
Thursday was Taste Washington Day at Pioneer Elementary School in Arlington. Schools around the state join in the annual event, sponsored by the state Department of Agriculture's Farm-to-School Program and the Washington School Nutrition Association.
It's a day meant to bring locally grown foods into school lunchrooms, and to encourage meal planners to adjust menus depending on seasonal products.
Students at four Arlington district elementary schools — Eagle Creek, Kent Prairie, Pioneer and Presidents — had the chance to sample fresh produce, along with their regular lunch.
At Pioneer, the day included visits from Arlington High School senior Jacklyn Bennett, president of her school's Future Farmers of America group, and Ed Aylesworth, director of health and nutrition for the Arlington School District.
Aylesworth brought the goods. He and 16-year-old Jacklyn, who was dressed as a strawberry, drew curious looks from kids while setting up a table and opening plastic bins of thinly sliced raw root vegetables.
Aylesworth said the produce came from Ralph's Greenhouse, an organic produce business in Mount Vernon, and Maltby Produce Market &Flower World near Snohomish.
On Pioneer's regular lunch menu Thursday were turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, applesauce, a dinner roll, produce bar and milk. Many students were eager to give the fresh Taste Washington offerings a nibble.
They crowded around the table, where Aylesworth passed out veggies with sanitary plastic-gloved hands. Red and golden beets, turnips and even rutabagas won surprisingly good reviews from young tasters.
"I sorta like it," said first-grader Dyton Hecox, with a turnip slice in hand. Ahayla Knight, 6, said her bite of a golden beet was "really sweet."
"I like all of them," said first-grader Emily Weaver, 6, who managed to fill her mouth with several slices of vegetables all at once.
"I eat a lot of carrots," said fourth-grader Makaylyn Bowen, 9. She munched on a whole carrot, complete with the leafy top. With baby-cut carrots a lunch-box staple, Aylesworth said he brought the real thing to give kids a "Bugs Bunny" experience.
After trying the produce, kids had a chance to fill out paper ballots. The winning vegetable in Thursday's tally will be added to school salad bars Oct. 24 for a Food Day celebration.
Earlier this year, the Arlington School District was named the Western Washington Fresh Food in Schools Champion by the Washington Sustainable Food and Farming Network. Aylesworth said he works to include local products on menus, depending on price. Right now, apples are among the local offerings.
"We try to use sources as locally as we can," Aylesworth said. Hendrickson Farms Wholesale, Fresh Cut &Distributor in Marysville is one of the district's regular suppliers, he said.
Crunchy vegetables in a crowded lunchroom brought back an ancient memory. I mostly took sack lunches to Spokane's Jefferson Elementary School. Once my mom put sliced green peppers in my lunch. I liked them, but some boy made fun of me for eating them. From then on, I told my mom, "No more peppers."
How cool to see the vegetable stigma uprooted. At Pioneer on Thursday, third-grader Charlie Irwin had a carton of chocolate milk in one hand and a slice of turnip in the other.
"I eat a lot of broccoli, too," she said.
