Erik Bendl (The World Guy) and Nice the dog walk along Loop 7 in Athens Thursday afternoon.
Story No. 1 – Child Abuse and Sexual Assault Awareness Month: April is Child Abuse and Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Henderson County. Law enforcement and activists fighting the scourge gathered on the Courthouse lawn Tuesday to try and raise awareness of the problem.
Why it is important: Because Henderson County has a severe problem in both areas. In 2011, the East Texas Crisis Center helped 222 children of mothers who were abused and worked with 96 sexual assault victims. Considering less than half of all sex assaults are reported, those numbers are pretty staggering.
Learn more: The Review had a story from the event.
Story No. 2 – Livestock Show Time: It is time for the annual Henderson County Livestock Show. Kids from all over the county will be hitting the Fairpark Complex in Athens April 9-14 for the culmination of a year worth of work.
Why it is important: This is the 52nd annual show … yeah, it's pretty important in Henderson County.
Learn more: The Livestock Show has its own website.
Story No. 3 – The World Guy comes to Athens: Erik Bendl is "The World Guy," and he is walking across the state with his dog and a six-foot inflated globe to raise awareness about the dangers of diabetes. Thursday he walked through Athens.
Why it is important: Did I mention the guy is walking across the state with a six-foot globe? Plus, diabetes really is an insidious disease.
Learn more: The Malakoff News had a story and photo.
Story No. 4 – No Smoking Ordinance: The Athens City Council has been discussing a no smoking ordinance for the city since last November, but the process is coming to an end. Council members will hear the official "first reading" of the ordinance Monday night during their regular council meeting at 5:30 p.m. Final approval is expected to come during a meeting April 23.
Why it is important: The ordinance will impact nearly all public areas in Athens.
Learn more: Here's the agenda, and here is the last story the Athens Review did on the subject.
Story No. 5 – TVCC Cheerleaders turn: The Lady Cardinal basketball team brought home a national title, and now it is the cheerleaders' turn. The TVCC Cheerleaders are leaving for Florida Tuesday, April 10, and will be going for a 10th national title.
Why it is important: Did I say 10 titles? When it comes to cheerleading, TVCC is the elite of elites.
Learn more: You can see the squad's competition routine 7 p.m. Monday at Cardinal Gym and the cheerleaders go through their final tuneup before leaving.

What prospective physics teachers need to know and be able to do should be grounded in what their future students need to know and be able to do in order to live in and contribute meaningfully to life in a democratic society. National goals and standards reflect these needs, and have strongly converged in recent years on what it is that future teachers of science must know and be able to do. In response, a knowledge base has been established at Illinois State University to be used to guide the preparation of our prospective physics teachers.
It is sometimes noted that in order to teach well, teachers must possess an identifiable knowledge base. Philosophers as early as Aristotle addressed the question of what teachers need to know and be able to do in order to be effective at their chosen profession. Writing in Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle saw the teacher's knowledge base as consisting of sophia ("wisdom") and phronesis ("prudence"). Sophia is the ability to think well about the nature of the world. It is used in the effort to discover phronesis, the ability to think about how and why we should act in order to accomplish a particular end.
In more recent times, the knowledge base of physics teachers has been described in the pages of this journal and elsewhere as consisting of three elements or components: content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge (Etkina, 2005). Content knowledge is knowledge of the discipline itself, and includes such things as procedural methods and possibly even dispositions. According to Etkina, content knowledge consists of "knowledge of physics concepts, relationships among them, and methods of acquiring knowledge" (2005, p. 3). Various documents define the content students should learn (e.g., Benchmarks for Science Literacy), and teacher preparation documents describe the role of the teacher (e.g., National Science Education Standards). Teachers must know what they are expected to teach their students, and probably substantially more as well.
Pedagogical knowledge, represents the "generic why and how to" of teaching. According to Etkina, pedagogical knowledge consists of "knowledge of brain development, knowledge of cognitive science, knowledge of collaborative learning, knowledge of classroom discourse, knowledge of classroom, and management and school laws" (2005, p. 3).
Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) represents a situation-specific overlap of content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. PCK deals with the "specific why and how to" of teaching a given discipline. According to Etkina, PCK consists of "knowledge of physics curriculum, knowledge of student difficulties, knowledge of effective instructional strategies for a particular concept, and knowledge of assessment methods" (2005, p. 3). PCK per se is hard to teach, and is often the result of many years of classroom experience (Wells et al., 1995). It can be described as "knowledge in action."
A Physics Teacher Candidate's Knowledge Base
A broader description of what a physics teacher candidate's knowledge, skills, and dispositions should be is provided in a less generic description as follows:
A. Content and Procedural Knowledge
The prospective teacher should have a broad and current understanding of the major content areas of physics. These include such areas as mechanics, electricity and magnetism, heat and thermodynamics, waves and light, optics, and modern physics. The prospective teacher's understanding will be at a level consistent with appropriate national and state standards, and includes a familiarity of the unifying principles of physics such as conservation of energy, momentum, mass, and charge. This presupposes that the prospective teacher will possess a general understanding of the closely allied fields of astronomy, chemistry, and mathematics, and will be aware of the major findings of the biological and environmental sciences.
The prospective teacher must have an accurate understanding of the processes of science, and its underlying assumptions. The prospective teacher should see scientific knowledge as emergent, and not absolute. Ideally, the prospective teacher will have learned content knowledge through methods of inquiry thereby acquiring closely associated procedural knowledge. The prospective teacher should have had an opportunity to experience the processes of scientific investigation: observing; defining a problem; hypothesizing from an evidence base; creating an experiment; identifying and controlling variables; collecting, graphically representing, and interpreting data; conducting error analyses; drawing conclusions; and communicating results. Knowledge so gained and communicated should help students understand that science is a way of knowing, and help them distinguish information that is not so derived.
B. Pedagogical Knowledge
The prospective teacher must understand what constitutes effective teaching, and be able to distinguish authentic teaching practices from practices so called such as instructing, informing, training, and brainwashing. The prospective teacher should have a demonstrable understanding of:
C. Pedagogical Content Knowledge
Pedagogical content knowledge represents the "intersection" of content/procedural knowledge and curricular knowledge. It deals with the "specific why and how to" of teaching a given discipline – in this case physics. Physics teacher candidates should be familiar with the information contained in such books as the following: (1) Teaching Introductory Physics (Arons, 1997), (2) Hands-on physics activities with real-life applications (Cunningham & Herr, 1994), (3) Five easy lessons: Strategies for successful physics teaching (Knight, 2002), and (4) Teaching introductory physics: A sourcebook (Swartz & Miner, 1998).
The Physics Teacher Candidate Knowledge Base at ISU
Since 1994, a detailed outline of a required knowledge base has been established for physics teacher education majors at Illinois State University. The current knowledge base was established on the basis of many year's experience with what high school physics teachers need to know, be able to do, and what dispositions they should possess in order to be effective. The knowledge base was established and periodically revised as part of a program accreditation review process that included addressing both the National Science Education Standards and the NSTA's Teacher Preparation Standards. The knowledge base in place today continues to guide decisions in course development and major requirements as it relates to teacher preparation. To see how these are implemented in the PTE program at ISU, readers may visit the online syllabi of six undergraduate science teaching methods courses at http://phy.ilstu.edu/pte/.
1. Knowledge of Physics and Allied Sciences
The prospective teacher must have a thorough understanding of Physics as well as mathematics, chemistry, biology, and earth & space science.
2. Knowledge of Curriculum
The prospective teacher must possess a broad understanding of the practices of physics teaching as reflected in the aims, goals, and objectives of both national and state science teaching standards. This includes a working knowledge of long-term and short-term planning required for teaching an inquiry-based program; an ability to align teaching goals, objectives, and assessment with these standards; an ability to provide needs-based rationales for inclusion of material in the curriculum grounded on student interests, community values, teacher strengths, and societal needs. The prospective teacher must be able to identify the various curricula that are available for physics teaching.
3. Understanding What "Scientifically Literate" Means
The prospective teacher must have a working definition of what it means for a person to be scientifically literate, and must be so. That is, the prospective teacher will have a well-founded "knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participating in civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity" (National Science Education Standards, 1996, p. 22).
4. Understanding Students
The prospective teacher must be aware of the psychological basis for effective science teaching. The prospective teacher must also demonstrate an ability to come to know students as individuals, to assess their knowledge and background, and show a willingness to work with parents to serve the best interests of students. This includes dealing effectively with different student learning styles, sources of interest, motivation and inspiration, and cultural and emotional differences. This also includes identifying and correcting learning difficulties where possible using personal knowledge and experiences, or through conferral and referral.
5. Knowledge of Student Difficulties
The prospective teacher must understand difficulties students have with learning various concepts and skills in science, the best way to teach these concepts and skills, and an ability to assess student knowledge through a variety of formal and informal means.
6. Classroom Management Skills
The prospective teacher must demonstrate excellent student management skills by maintaining classroom discipline using a firm, fair, friendly, and focused demeanor. The skilled classroom manager will effectively present lessons so that students will perceive time in the classroom as of significant positive value. The atmosphere so maintained should not be rigid and regimented, but should be flexible and conducive to student inquiry.
7. Communication Skills
The prospective teacher must be an excellent and effective communicator, both in conducting instruction and in receiving and responding to information. The prospective teacher will demonstrate excellence in communication by using proper vocalization (diction, grammar, enunciation, and projection). The prospective teacher will demonstrate effectiveness in communication by presenting information systematically and logically, by questioning students using appropriate means (using a variety of question types, making effective use of wait time, etc.), and by listening and responding well to students' questions, answers and comments.
8. Knowledge of the Teaching-Learning Relationship
The prospective teacher should be aware that teaching is what teachers do, that learning is what students do, and that there might be no direct relationship between teaching and learning. The prospective teacher sees the role of teacher as that of a science guide who facilitates learning, and is aware of the major principles of learning.
9. Scientific and Philosophical Dispositions
The prospective teacher should demonstrate scientific dispositions (beliefs, behaviors, attitudes, values) and should be able to engage students in activities that help clarify the need for a consistent scientific ethic. The prospective teacher should demonstrate the habits of mind closely associated with the intellectual rigor of scientific inquiry and attitudes and values conducive to science learning. The prospective teacher should understand the assumptions and limitations of scientific knowledge.
10. Social and Technological Context
The prospective teacher must demonstrate an understanding of and an appreciation for the broad applicability of physics to real- world situations. Prospective teachers must be able to provide a rationale for including physics in the school curriculum as it relates to any area of life in general, and technology in particular. The rationale must deal with the value of scientific knowledge to their students, to society, and to the scientific professions. The prospective teacher must demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between science and technology, and the relationship between scientific values and social values.
11. Learning Environment
The prospective teacher should have an understanding of how to create among students a disposition in favor of science, and scientific ways of knowing. The learning environment should be physically and emotionally safe, and one in which questioning is valued as much as knowing, and process is valued as much as product. The prospective teacher should know how to provide stimulating learning environments that develop a community of learners who share time, space, and materials to learn science. The prospective teacher should know the meaning, differences, benefits, and consequences of competitive, cooperative, and individualistic learning atmospheres. The prospective teacher should know the effect of expectations on student achievement, and how to exert appropriate classroom control measures.
12. Active and Engaged Learning
The prospective teacher should have an understanding of how to teach in active and engaging ways that create and sustain student interest in science generally, and in physics in particular. This engagement should sustained student participation in learning activities, should include learning cycles, and involve students in cooperative group processes.
13. Student Assessment
The prospective teacher should have an understanding of the goals and procedures of both "regular" and alternative/authentic assessment. The prospective teacher should know how to use a variety of means to assess stated objectives that are fair, valid, and reliable, and consistent with the decisions they are intended to inform. The prospective teacher will see ongoing assessment of student learning as a valuable adjunct to teaching. The prospective teacher should be aware of sources, and uses for standardized tests, and be able to accurately interpret results.
14. Self-Assessment and Reflective Practice
The prospective teacher should demonstrate the habit of regular self-assessment – reflecting objectively upon personal teaching practice with an eye toward improving professional practice and increasing student learning. The prospective teacher will engage in ongoing assessment of personal teaching practice, in cooperation with formative feedback provided through clinical supervision. The prospective teacher should demonstrate the disposition of a life-long learner in all areas of professional life.
15. Technology of Teaching
The prospective teacher should have knowledge of and first-hand experience with the wide range of instructional and scientific technology to be used in the classroom. This includes demonstration and laboratory equipment, computers and their applications, microcomputer- and calculator-based laboratory equipment, and the software associated with accessing the Internet to be used by students.
16. Professional Responsibilities
The prospective teacher should abide by a code of professional ethical conduct. It is incumbent upon the teacher to improve educational practice personally, and at the level of the school and the wider academic community. The prospective teacher should perceive professional organizations and publications as instrumental in professional improvement.
17. Nature of Science
The prospective teacher must possess a broad understanding of the nature of science. The teacher candidate must be able to define the values, beliefs and assumptions inherent in the creation of scientific knowledge within the scientific community. This includes being able to: distinguish science from other ways of knowing; distinguish basic science, applied science and technology; identify the processes and conventions of science as a professional activity; and define acceptable evidence and scientific explanation.
18. Responsive Teaching
The prospective teacher must know what it means to be a culturally responsive teacher in order to ensure participation of all students independent of gender, disabilities, and cultural differences. The prospective teacher must teach in such a way as to provide for gender differences, physical and mental disabilities, and racial/ethnic differences.
19. Knowledge of Authentic Best Practices
The prospective teacher must have a thorough understanding of authentic best practices, and how they relate to how students learn science. As such, the teacher candidate will understand the importance of dealing effectively with student preconceptions, will understand how to use inquiry practices effectively, will understand the meaning and roles of student metacognition and self-regulation, and will be well versed in the use of cooperative/collaborative learning practices.
20. Knowledge of Generic Best Practices
Many teaching skills come from practical experience and are not well grounded on a research base. Much of what is handed on as "grounded in research" tends to be nothing more than idiosyncratic anecdotal experience – it constitutes the craft wisdom of teaching. Nonetheless, these best practices so-called constitute the "art of teaching" and often can provide a number of valuable alternative avenues for effective teaching.

Existence of closed geodesics on compact manifolds was first proved by Lyusternik and Fet in the 1950s using Morse theory, and the corresponding problem for orbifolds was studied by Guruprasad and Haefliger, who proved existence of a closed geodesic of positive length in numerous cases. In this thesis, we develop an alternative approach to the problem of existence of closed geodesics on compact orbifolds by studying the geometry of group actions. We give an independent and elementary proof that recovers and extends the results of Guruprasad and Haefliger for developable orbifolds. We show that every compact orbifold of dimension 2, 3, 5 or 7 admits a closed geodesic of positive length, and we give an inductive argument that reduces the existence problem to the case of a compact developable orbifold of even dimension whose singular locus is zero-dimensional and whose orbifold fundamental group is infinite torsion and of odd exponent. Stronger results are obtained under curvature assumptions. For instance, one can show that infinite torsion groups do not act geometrically on simply connected manifolds of nonpositive or nonnegative curvature, and we apply this to prove existence of closed geodesics for compact orbifolds of nonpositive or nonnegative curvature. In the general case, the problem of existence of closed geodesics on compact orbifolds is seen to be intimately related to the group-theoretic question of finite presentability of infinite torsion groups, and we explore these and other properties of the orbifold fundamental group in the last chapter.

USAID using big data to its advantage
Thursday - 6/21/2012, 12:42pm EDT
The U.S. Agency for International Development is addressing its big data problems.
Chief Information Officer Jerry Horton said his agency is now linking its procurement and financial systems, among others. Connecting the systems enables information to move back and forth freely, allowing for more data mashups to take place.
Horton said the new setup allows USAID to follow the money more easily and gives his agency a level of transparency it hasn't had before.

We were welcomed to the table with a glass of champagne to toast our special evening. The wine steward made several excellent recommendations for wine when he knew our entrée selections. The choice we made fitted the meal well. The food was delicious and well presented and appropriately portion sized. Although not cheap, the cost was well deserved given the service, food and overall ambiance.Special Features:
- Beaver Creek's BestOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/30/2014The quality of the cuisine, service and ambiance is superb! Certainly Beaver Creek's best and possibly Vail Valley's also.

A visit by Chef David Wolford at our table was a ver appreciated personal touch.Special Features:

- Exceptional Restsurant!!WynnDined on 8/9/2014This has to be one of the best restaurants,if not the best in Colorado!! We tried four different courses and each one with outstanding. My husband had rack of lamb and he said it was the best he has ever eaten. I chose the Dover sole and it was wonderful as well. We also had crabcakes for an appetizer and a wonderful lemon soufflé for dessert. I think everything they serve must be fabulous if the food we had is any indication. Can't wait to return!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meets expectations, and then some.SLA1500Dined on 8/9/2014Splendido is a professionally managed, customer service first establishment, with execution at standards one would expect from the best that Beaver Creek and Vail has to offer.

- Splendid!!!Indianabas1VIPDined on 7/31/2014Took my sons wife for dinner, she had never been. It was about my 10th or 12th time. As usual it was fabulous. The only negative was that our table wasn't quite ready and so we went to the bar. I ask the bartender a question and he was quite surly. Luckily they came for our table 20 seconds later and we didn't have to linger. Other than that it was a stellar experience!Special Features:
- indiandinerVIPDined on 7/30/2014Food is always great at Splendido, but the decor is getting a bit dated. And it is most annoying that the waiter's routinely fail to provide the 25% discount that is available for early diners and require you to specifically remind them and re-run the billSpecial Features:

The setting is pretty, the food is outstanding and we always enjoy our dining experience there. It was our anniversary and our dessert plates had Happy Anniversary written in chocolate on the rim of the plates. Great night!Special Features:

- SplendidOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/22/2014The foie gras was better than any we've had in France, or anywhere. The whole Dover Sole was divine. The service was excellent. The comprehensive wine list was reasonably priced for an upscale restaurant. This was our first visit, but it won't be our last.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, marginal serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 7/5/2014The food was terrific, and the chef accommodated our special request with enthusiasm. We had the lamb chops and the pork tenderloin. Both were exceptional. The wine list is lengthy with a goods mix of old and new world's wines. Our waiter told us that the Dover sole was from the Dover channel. Two different people asked if we wanted ice or bottled water, yet neither brought any water. The "sommelier" said that the wine I asked about "might have gra-nah-chay" in it but couldn't remember if he had tasted it. We've dined here previously, and hopefully the marginal service was an aberration.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic Anniversary DinnerJPJacksonVIPDined on 7/5/2014This place lives up to its name! Everything was absolutely fantastic!! Because it was our anniversary, my husband and I decided we'd drop some extra coin on a nice dinner and are so happy we picked this place. The service was attentive and friendly, the food was amazing, and the view of the mountain is beautiful. The manager came over and helped us pick a really nice bottle of wine that was not outrageously priced. Our server made excellent recommendations. The tuna poke was out of this world and the lamb was delicious. We had such a nice night and cannot wait to return next summer for our next anniversary dinner. Thank you Splendido for the lovely evening!Special Features:
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 7/5/2014Food was terrifice but the service was so poor that our evening was a disappointment. When we arrived we requested an outdoor table but were told they were "filling up". All during our dinner and after our dinner there were open tables outside. We arrived early and were asked to sit at the bar where our server seemed put out to take care of us because we were not eating there. Our table service was so bad we asked for our wine bucket to be brought closer to the table so we could serve ourselves. Bad night overall.Special Features:

The food is great but the service is has consistenly disappointed.....either we are given a bad table or the waiter screws up....on our last visit it was the waiter. My wife asked about the Lobster and he said they had it on special. Another group sat down after us and before they waiter returned to our table, they ordered the Lobster from him. When the waiter returned to our table, he told my wife the Lobster was sold out. It ruined her evening.....we will be taking a lengthy break from Splendido.
- A Must Do!SwansDined on 6/13/2014If you don't do anything else while you are staying in Beaver Creek, you must dine at Splendido. My wife and I had a wonderful evening and we cannot recommend a restaurant and bar more highly. Splendido has it all: great dining, romance, and a wonderful piano bar!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Splendido, Beaver Creek, Coloradoeat2liveVIPDined on 6/6/2014My wife and I went to Splendido Restaurant in Beaver Creek Colorado for our anniversary. I hoped that the meal would meet our expectations based on the reviews of the restaurant we had read. The experience exceeded those expectations. We have eaten at many fine restaurants in the world; but, our meal this evening was probably the best we have had. We cannot recommend eating here more highly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fabulous from beginning to endOrindamomVIPDined on 4/2/2014We come here every Spring for skiing and Splendido is always on our list for return visits and once again, it did not fail to please. We had 2 tables with 3 children and 4 adults and all were treated with respect and great service. We ordered the foie gras with kumquats as a starter and the melding of the richness of the foie gras with the sweet bitterness of the fruit was sensational. Our elk loin practically melted in our mouths. My friend's barramundi dish was perfectly seared and in a briny delicate broth along with shelled seafood. The lemon soufflé with huckleberry was so light and cloudy and almost ethereal. We left happy, full, and looking forward to our next trip to Beaver Creek to dine at Splendido's!Special Features:
- Amazing atmosphere and food!lo2pinkDined on 3/28/2014This place is oustanding. Get the lobster (they don't list it on the menu, but almost always have it). Chocolate souffle was to die for, service and atmosphere was out of this world. I cant wait to get back to Beaver Creek so I can eat here again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Splendido sparklesTMLIVDined on 3/22/2014Splendido is a sparkling star in the firmament of fine dining establishments in Beaver Creek. My wife and I have frequented just about every great restaurant in the area but had not been to Splendido until this past weekend. The food was some of the best we have had anywhere. The service was attentive and our server, Mick, scrupulously saw to every detail, and the view and ambience are beyond description. The menu is varied and interesting. The wine list is superb. We will long remember this as a great dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodRbaizaDined on 3/22/2014We ate at this establishment several years ago and enjoyed it very much. This past weekend we visited once again and had a great meal. As a reference we have eaten at French laundry in the past year and would consider that the standard for fine dining and service. Splendidos for the price point was exceptional. We had the tuna sashimi and fried pork belly both excellent and the next course did not disappoint. The sea bass, rabbit and lobster were perfectly prepared. The 3 of us shared 4 desserts. The service was great relaxed and attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worst experience ever at Splendido!DisappointedDined on 3/21/2014Our evening started well - delicious food in a great setting. Then just as our entrees arrived, four families arrived with their 9 children between the ages of ~3 and 8. All 9 children were seated at a table adjacent to ours and the 8 parents were seated at a table on the other side of us. Our pleasant evening was completed destroyed. Both children and parents went back and forth between tables and the noise level went through the roof. We asked to be moved to another table but were placed by the bar next to the (very good, but way too loud) piano. Despite our obvious displeasure no attempt was made to improve the situation. The manager did NOTHING to rectify the complete ruination of our long-anticipated special evening at Splendidos.Special Features:
- Lives up to its reputationcasblDined on 3/14/2014Splendido certainly lived up to its reputation during our visit. Everything was fantastic. Aaron, our server, made the entire meal an experience we won't forget. He paired wines for several courses and the pairings made the already delicious dishes even better. We weren't hurried and savored every moment. Well done Aaron and Splendido.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Communal postage stamp tableOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 3/12/2014We were brought to a very small table (about 18 inches wide and 24 inches in length. The table was set with 3 place settings. The entire restaurant was vacant at this moment. All I could think was "COME ON MAN!" Really? We objected and after some brief uncomfortable rudeness, and a threat to walk out, they agreed to move us. That set a very bad tone to start. The maitre de/ seater/Greeters were the not uncommon snoooty type that had a big open laugh at our expense. If you eat out often you will know the type. The food was very good in general. The rabbit dish was excellent, the Lobster was the best we have ever had. The buffalo was tough and very hard to chew, but otherwise prepared OK.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Restaurant in the Vail Valley!BearPawGourmetDined on 3/9/2014Splendido is consistently excellent! Have never had a bad experience there and have been going for over 8 years. The food is locally sourced so always fresh, the wine list is outstanding and the souffles are to die for! Great ambience and even better service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Orioles walk-off wins [Pictures]
Cheering mob at home plate, sunflower seeds, pie in the face. It's become more or less a routine at Camden Yards the past few seasons as the Orioles have celebrated thrilling walk-off wins.
Here's a trip through memory lane of those game-ending hits that have sent the Orioles and their fans home happy from the 2012 season to the present.
Image 5 of 23
June 25, 2014: Orioles 5, White Sox 4( Kenneth K. LAM, Baltimore Sun / June 26, 2014 )
With the Orioles trailing, 4-0, in the bottom of the eighth inning, designated hitter Nelson Cruz hit a game-tying grand slam to right-center field. After a 1-hour, 9-minute rain delay, the Orioles eventually won, 5-4, in the 12th inning when pinch-runner David Lough scored on a wild pitch by Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Daniel Webb.

Lace Cap Sleeve Long Matte Mesh Dress Style XS3450 45 45
Not for petite ladies with a belly I was so excited to get this gown! I ordered it after reading some reviews, one in particular mentioned this gown to be perfect for a woman with a bit of a belly, I spent a month visioning this gown on my wedding day. It is a beautiful gown, and it was made very well, I still love the lace sleeves. Yet for a short woman with a belly, it looks ridiculous. I am 3 months post pregnancy and am 5'1 149lbs, I looked like a tank! Because this dress is beautiful I would still recommend it to people that have a more slender maybe taller build, but short and stocky steer clear! It simply made me look larger than I really am. I did return this dress and will be looking for something more flattering to my petite chubby build. March 5, 2014
BREATHTAKING My daughter was married February 14 - yes, Valentine's Day - in this exquisite dress. It fit her like a dream and enhanced all of her beautiful features. All the guests oohed and aahed when she came out to walk down the aisle. The dress is a very light ivory and the material is soft and light. Not too sheer with a built-in bra. My daughter didn't need a bra, and only wore beige undies and pantyhose underneath. She said it was so comfortable. February 24, 2014
Finally! Perfect! I was hesitant to order online after my instore experience...but I was pleasantly surprised when my dress arrived. Wish I had skipped going into the store all together. This dress is super light, extremely comfortable, and lets you breathe!! Also, it isnt nearly as "see through" as some people have described in other reviews, however, a half slip is prob a good idea. Cant wait to wear it on my big day~ February 10, 2014
Comfortable & Flattering This dress is very comfortable and flattering for a woman with a booty and a little bit of tummy. However, the back zipper does not stay straight! It easily pulls to one side, causing me to readjust throughout the night. January 27, 2014

"We can confirm that we have tentatively agreed to get back together on Monday, either late in the afternoon or early evening," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. "The meeting was requested by the union and it's their agenda. We will see what they have to tell us."
The sides last met on Nov. 11 for 90 minutes.
Earlier this week, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman suggested to union head Donald Fehr that the sides take a two-week break in talks.
Regular season games have been canceled through Nov. 30, along with the Winter Classic contest that was supposed to be held on New Year's Day in Ann Arbor between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings.
The two sides have been without a CBA since the previous one expired just before midnight on Sept. 15.

The first time I tried this product I hated it because my skin felt really dry since my skin is overall normal except from my T zone (it is also acne prone near my jaw line), but a year ago I decided to give it another try since my dermatologist suggested it. What I found was that, if you use it in combination with a decent toner and a good moisturiser it really does wonders! My skin feels really clean and I get less pimples! I love it!
I've been using this for most of a year (alternating with another cleanser) and it hasn't caused any major issues, but I've never been highly impressed, and I think it's time to retire it. It is quite drying, making my skin feel tight after use, and it's fragranced, which I think could be contributing to skin irritation. I was surprised at this given that Avene is usually a fragrance-free brand marketed to people with super-sensitive skin. It also stings my eyes - I know most cleansers do, but I loved the Paula's Choice cleanser I used to have which didn't sting at all. It does have a nice texture when applied and I like that there's only a minimal amount of foam.
Overall, Cleanance gets the job done well enough, but at the high price I won't be repurchasing. I'm actually trying out a cheap drugstore brand cleanser now (Dermaveen) which is much better so far.
My derm prescribed this to me when I was on accutane because its soap free and non irritant. Its the best face wash I've used so far! It cleans my skin without drying it out and controlled my breakouts alot! Thank you avene for making such a wonderful product.
This used to be my HG cleanser..until they changed the ingredients. Now it is very harsh, strips my skin and although it does make my skin feel clean it also leaves it feeling tight. But the worst thing about the new formulation is how much it stings and irritates my eyes. No matter how careful I am it leaves the area around my eyes red and painful.
So this has went straight into the bin and now back to hunting for another gentle cleanser.
Why avene..why..:(
I'm a bit torn about this product. On the one hand, it cleanses well, removes all traces of makeup and doesn't cause breakouts due at least in part to it's "soapless" gel consistency. It also smells very pleasant (not overly fragranced, just a clean smell). For these reasons, I've continued to purchase this cleanser for over SIX YEARS!! However......on the other hand, I feel that this product is too drying for my skin. It lathers well and leaves skin very fresh looking after washing, but I feel it is also sucking a lot of moisture from my skin in the process. I think I may need to re-evaluate my relationship with this cleanser! I see this product working much better for truly oily skin types, as your skin will probably tolerate it better (i.e. no moisture loss).
I would not recommend this cleanser to anyone. I have used it for 2-3 months but there are still 3/4 of the volume in the bottle. The product advertised that this is good for sensitive skin, but I disagree with it. The product is too strong for facial skin. After I used it, each time my face feels do tight. It rips off almost anything on your face, including essential oil for your facial skin. Fell so disappointed at this brand. The advertisement completely cannot do what it said. What a waste of money.
Used this for a few years alongside Cleanance K/Avene moisturiser stuff, and it only led to more oily and acne-filled skin. It did pretty much nothing to help when my acne became really bad, and I had to resort to antibiotic treatment. This only served as a pitifully poor investment and complete waste of money.
I am certainly pleased to no longer be using such overpriced and ineffective products when natural ingredients and oils provide a far better, gentler and cheaper solution for your skin. If you want less oily skin, try organic unrefined coconut oil - works wonders for me and I no longer have greasy skin. Products with synthetic ingredients such as this tend to strip off your natural oils, thus leading your body to produce an excessive amount of sebum which causes even more greasy skin - so you'd want something that will provide sufficient moisture. I am very glad to have learnt to read beyond marketing labels and promotional rhetoric.
I thought that this was a decent cleanser, although I wouldn't repurchase. It stung my eyes and stripped my skin a little too much. It did improve my skin a little, though.
This cleanser cleared up my acne almost instantly! I usually have pretty okay-ish skin with pimples once in a blue moon until adult acne found me last year. Was in a pretty terrible state even after visiting the dermatologist and prescribed with differin and doxycycline. My usual cleanser was Simple, didn't help much but didn't do harm either so I didn't consider changing it. My friend, however, insisted that I got this and I reluctantly got it even though it was nearly twice the cost of my Simple one. However, after using this for just one day, I noticed that my acne cleared up tremendously! And it has helped to keep it clear since then. Will definitely repurchase!
On a downside, it doesn't do much in terms of oil control or moisturization. On the first couple of days after using this, I noticed that my face became super super oily and only managed to get rid of it with a oil control sleeping mask. Also, I don't recommend using this all the time. I alternate my cleaning routine with this and just plain oats as I'm afraid this cleanser might be too drying and strong as well. You'll need a good moisturiser with this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Packaging: awesome. spill proof, hand bag friendly, clear bottle so you can see how much of it is left.
i have combination dehydrated skin prone to breakouts. which means the minute i put something meant for acne prone skin, my skin dies a little, seriously it dies into a dry, cracked, scaly, itchy mess. for the longest time i struggled with finding the right cleanser that will help with acne but not strip my face off all the moisture. i found the blue green bottle of joy!!!
Having said that, it is not going to leave your face plump and moist, honestly no foaming gel type cleanser ever has but it certainly doesnt cause my skin to "DIE'. obviously it does nothing to stop acne, but it shortens the life cycle of a pimple by half. it has a clean scent, not perfumy and does a good job of cleaning the skin of every bit of makeup there is, although i would recommend a balm or oil based pre cleanse to take makeup off before this gel cleanser, it has lactic acid which needs to work on the skin and not your foundation.
so if you've got similar skin type and not found success with any other cleanser, give this a shot, its not expensive and a no fuss product. i am on my second bottle and its taken me a really long time to finish up the first one (you get a lot of product). so unless if find a better cleanser or my skin quality/concern changes i will continue to use this product.

God is our destination
Fasting is not the aim, but the means towards it. See, it was your aim to come to Mount Athos, it was your destination. The boat which brought you was the means by which you arrived. Such is fasting; it is one of the means given to us by the love of God to crave for Him. God is our destination.

I selected this hostel because it was advertised as having a swimming pool. The swimming pool was empty! Hostels shouldn't be allowed to advertise services that they can't provide. Stay at Punto Urbano. Much cheaper and a lot better.

Photo with 151,106 notes
The "hells"(jigoku) of Beppu are nine spectacular hot springs for viewing rather than bathing. Seven of the hells are located in the Kannawa district and two in the more remote Shibaseki district. The Chinoike Jigoku or 'blood pond hell' features a pond of hot, red water. It is the most photogenic of the nine hells.
