DUNEDIN, New Zealand: Dimuth Karunaratne made 84 and Dineth Chandimal was unbeaten on 83 as Sri Lanka made slow progress to 197-4 at stumps Friday, leaving the first cricket test against New Zealand neatly poised at the end of the second day.
Karunaratne and Chandimal put on 122 in a prolonged partnership for the second wicket which allowed Sri Lanka to rally after the loss of early wickets to challenge New Zealand's first innings of 431.
New Zealand hurried to that total Thursday and early Friday, scoring at 4.48 runs per over after losing the toss and being sent in on a green pitch. Sri Lanka set a much more pedestrian scoring pace, managing only 2.43 runs per over throughout the second day and allowing its run rate to drop below 2 at times while grinding its way toward first innings parity.
Wickets were hard to come by, apart from the spurt at the end of the first day and start of the second when Sri Lanka wrapped up New Zealand's tail and when the New Zealand bowlers exposed Sri Lanka's inexperienced top order.
New Zealand also snapped up Karunaratne and Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews (2) within three overs to set back the tourists' rally.
Otherwise, the wickets have been well-spaced and have only come from concerted effort and sustained pressure from the bowlers and fieldsmen.
Wicketkeeper B.J. Watling took catches to dismiss all four Sri Lanka batsmen who fell Friday and off four different bowlers. In doing so he surpassed 100 test dismissals — reaching that mark with his first catch and ending the day with 103 — to further establish himself among New Zealand's best test 'keepers.
The innings of Karunaratne and Chandimal were exercises in concentration. Karunaratne, who made his maiden test century in New Zealand a year ago and has gone on to make two more against Pakistan and the West Indies, negotiated the loss of Kusal Mendis (8) and Udara Jayasundera (1) to provide the early backbone of the Sri Lanka innings.
Karunaratne took 10 minutes less than three hours to bring up his half century; Chandimal took nine minutes more than three hours but both placed more emphasis on survival than accumulation Friday as Sri Lanka sought a foothold in the match.
Their 122-run partnership occupied 48.5 overs and they scored at only 2.49 runs per over but they played Sri Lanka into a solid position, giving it hope of matching New Zealand's first innings total.
The quick loss of Mathews was costly. English umpire Nigel Llong turned down New Zealand's appeal for a catch down the leg side but television umpire Paul Reiffel overturned the decision when Hot Spot technology showed a faint edge.
Four New Zealand bowlers took wickets Friday but young left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner was probably the best for the home side, taking 1-37 from 19 overs.
"They batted quite well to be fair," Santner said. "We bowled quite tight at them, didn't give them too many bad balls but they stuck at it well and hopefully in the morning we can nick a few out with the new ball."

In Georgia, the shares of Bidzina Ivanishvili arrested2012-06-27 11:56
The Executive Bureau of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia has decided to arrest the shares owned by the opposition politician and billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili. This was reported by the Trend.gt-en-newsitem-inside
This decision was taken due to the businessman's failure to pay a fine, which was imposed on him for bribing voters on the eve of parliamentary elections. However, the billionaire himself claims that he has no shares in the Georgian companies which could be arrested.
The agency notes that the arrest of the shares does not prevent normal operation of the companies. It was also reported that if Bidzina Ivanishvili pays the fine, the arrest of the shares would be automatically removed, the RBC reported.
Recall, Tbilisi City Court has fined the billionaire and the opposition leader of the coalition "Georgian Dream" Bidzina Ivanishvili on 126, 2 million lari (about $ 77.5 million). This was reported by Ivanishvili's media lawyers.
The decision was taken on Monday, June 11. Thus, the court has concluded the hearing on the administrative case of the Control Chamber of Georgia against the billionaire, related to the distribution of the satellite antennas by the company Global Sonsulting Group.

Vintage Street Rodders of America was chartered in late 2009 and started taking membership in Feb 2010. VSRA was created because we wanted to keep Street Rodding alive for the True Street Rodder, who believes that a streetrod is a Pre-49 vehicle. VSRA is also a DRIVING ORGANIZATION which encourages members to build, drive,and maintain their streetrods.
One of the key players of VSRA, is Dorothy Donihe, our webmaster. She creates and maintains the website www.vsra-usa.com, and the Facebook page and sends out the monthly newsletter by email. She is very much appreciated.
VSRA also has a team of State Rodder Reps. They are a major help in advertising the shows by passing out flyers and cards and recruiting new members.
VSRA has an awesome staff of volunteers that help put on the shows. From setting up, to working the gates, registration, selling merchandise and 50/50 tickets, taking pictures, and whatever else needs to be done, they are there. All of the Reps and volunteers are again very much appreciated. The shows can't go on without them.

Tap, tap, tap… the sound of impatiently drumming fingers on the table as we wait for the right time to tap the trees. Tap too early, and the tap holes might close up before the peak of the sap run. Tap too late, and the season is over before it even gets started.
Tap, tap, tap… the sound of a test run of the new boiling stove setup. You can't really call it a "dry" run, but maybe a "sugar free" one. We fired up the stove to make sure the flame was efficient and that the stove would boil hot enough. Then we loaded water into the sap storage tank to test the flow into the boiling pan. Tap, tssss, tap, tssss… the sizzle of water hitting a hot boiling pan. But when we lowered the hood onto the pan to check for a snug fit, we discovered that one corner of the stove had sunk a little. Tap, tap, tap…wedging a wooden shim under the northeast corner of the stove, to once again make it nice & level so the sap boils evenly.
Tap, tap, tap… yesterday's sound of taps being hammered into the south (sunny) side of 100 trees in the Kopp's Crops woods. Well, technically it started with a "whirrrrr", as we drilled inch-and-a-half-deep holes into the tree trunks before tapping the taps in place with a hammer.
Tap, tap tap… the sound of the first drops of sap dropping in the bucket. The buckets on the southeast side of the woods get the most sun, so two days into the season the sap is rat-tat-tatting at a pretty fast clip already. Deeper in the woods, it's more of a tap… wait for it… wait for it… tap!Tap, tap, tap…the sound of impatiently drumming fingers on the table as we eagerly await the first boil of the season!

THOMAS R. SNELL, D.D.S., CHARLES M. HUGHES, D.D.S., DANIEL K. LOVETTE, D.D.S., APPELLANTS,v.COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, STATE EXAMINING BOARD
No. 21 May Term, 1979, Appeal from the Opinion and Order of the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania at No. 967 C.D. 1977, Dated January 11, 1979, Affirming the Order of the State Dental Council and Examining Board.
James W. Reynolds, David A. Wion, Harrisburg, for appellants.
William J. Wheeler, William H. Andring, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
Eagen, C. J., and O'Brien, Roberts, Nix, Larsen, Flaherty and Kauffman, JJ. Eagen, C. J., concurs in the result.
Author: Roberts
[ 490 Pa. Page 278]
Appellants Dr. Thomas R. Snell, Dr. Charles M. Hughes, and Dr. Daniel K. Lovette challenge the order of the Commonwealth Court upholding the State Dental Council and Examining Board's suspension of their licenses. Appellants contend that insufficient evidence appears of record to support a finding of knowledge or intent to defraud Pennsylvania Blue Shield by submission of false claims. We agree with appellants and reverse the order of the Commonwealth Court.*fn1
From 1969 through 1971, appellants practiced oral surgery as salaried employees of the Miller Clinic in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The Clinic, owned solely by Dr. Richard Miller, provided oral surgery care to patients referred by general practitioners in that area. Many of the Clinic's patients were covered by Pennsylvania Blue Shield dental insurance policies. Thus, the Clinic received reimbursements from Blue Shield for such services. Appellants, as salaried
[ 490 Pa. Page 279]
employees, were not directly affected financially by the amount of reimbursement the Clinic received.
Because the Clinic received reimbursements in excess of $10,000 for the years 1969, 1970, and 1971, Blue Shield reviewed Clinic records to determine the accuracy of the claims presented. Of approximately 30,000 claims submitted by the Clinic during this three year period, investigation of four hundred files disclosed only twelve possible false claims. Blue Shield contacted the referring dentists and obtained their "bite wing" x-rays, taken of the twelve patients prior to surgery at the Clinic. From these x-rays, Blue Shield concluded that appellants performed surgical removal of erupted teeth and then submitted claims to Blue Shield for removal of impacted teeth. Surgical removal of impacted, but not erupted, teeth was covered under the dental insurance plans.*fn2
As a result of these allegations, the State Dental Council and Examining Board cited appellants for violations of section 3(i) of the Dental Law.*fn3 After a hearing on the allegations, the Dental Council found that false claims had been filed and thus, that appellants had ...

Never Saw Them ComingBy: Alfonso Duro
With 2014 coming to a close, it's time to reminisce. It's been a year full of emotions, with moments as unforgettable as Sergio Ramos's header in the Champions League final to tie things up in injury time against Atlético Madrid, or Brazil's terrible semifinal defeat in the World Cup against Germany, or Colombia's shockingly beautiful victory against Uruguay.
The usual suspects have once again shined through and so players like Messi, Ronaldo, Ibrahimović or Rooney will continue to call the shots as some of the top talent in the world, but there have also been some newcomers to the great stage that, in all honesty, most soccer fans on the planet had no idea existed a mere 12 months ago. These are the men who will likely rule the sport in the next few years, so you better keep an eye on them.
James Rodriguez: With the looks of Cristiano Ronaldo and the short-field skills of Lionel Messi, James has quickly earned a spot among the top players on the planet. Okay, his outstanding World Cup performance may have also helped, and his six goals in five games, too, plus his 80-million-euro transfer to Real Madrid (where he now wears the legendary number 10 jersey) surely caught the attention of the most unconcerned fans. His life has changed so much in such a short period of time that even his wife seems to be feeling the pressure. But James has dealt with it beautifully, and joined soccer royalty as if he were born with blue blood. Nine goals and seven assists in just three months as a Merengue keep him scaringly close to the numbers of Mesut Özil or Angel Di Maria's debut seasons with the club, so a great long career can be expected out of this 23-year-old man in Madrid.
Raúl Jiménez: You probably first heard of Raúl Jiménez when he scored a bicycle kick shot from outside the box for el Tri against Panama, to keep the dream of qualifying to the World Cup alive. Miguel Herrera, who saw the striker come up through the ranks at América, gave him the shot with the national team and the young gun didn't let him down. He spent the early months of 2014 preparing with Las Águilas for two key moments in his life: playing in the World Cup and transferring to Europe. But in-between, tweeting almost got the best of him. Declaring his love for Real Madrid was not the best thing to do when Atlético Madrid was trying to sign him, but Simeone insisted and the forward inked a contract with the Colchoneros. Things have not panned out as expected just yet, as the striker of the future has only managed to score once in La Liga, but everyone at the club is expecting his talents to start flourishing sooner rather than later, so patience with Jimenez will have to be everyone's best virtue.
Lucas Silva: In Brazil they speak about a midfielder unlike any other ever bred in the country. The Verde Amarela has seen some great defensive talent like Dunga, Mazinho, Emerson or Cesar Sampaio, and some of the best attacking midfielders in the history of the sport, namely Socrates, Raí, Zinho, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho or Kaká, but true box-to-box(ers) rarely do appear near the beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana. Perhaps that's why 21-year-old Lucas Silva has gotten everyone so excited in Brazil. The youngster has led Cruzeiro to two back-to-back Brasileirao championships, and he has half of Europe asking for his transfer. Real Madrid seem to be closing in on him, but he is holding out on signing the deal until he understands the role they'd like him to play on the team. Meanwhile, Arsenal, Manchester City and Barcelona wouldn't mind bringing him on to help their squads, so one thing is clear: the kid will be playing in Europe come June, and then everybody will know his name.
Marcos Rojo: Talk about a low-profile player. At 24, he has spent the last three years in Europe, playing for Spartak Moscow and Sporting Lisbon, making no noise whatsoever on the big stage, and only the lack of quality left-backs made Alejandro Sabella look to him to start for Argentina in the World Cup. In the end, it turned out to be a great idea, as Rojo became one of the sensations of the tournament, and a true leader for the Albiceleste. He did so well that Louis van Gaal, despite arriving to Manchester United after the club shelled out 30 million euros for Luke Shaw, requested his transfer and acquired him from Sporting—for a [another] mere 20 million euros. But the move proved a huge success: Rojo has adapted quickly to England, faster than Di María by his own admission, and is an essential piece of van Gaal's convoluted formation. Everybody in England loves Marcos Rojo, even if his own teammates (specifically, Juan Mata) are not too keen on conceding him the honor of his first goal as a Red Devil.

Ex-Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt and his teammates were bombarded with bricks and other objects during Fenerbache's away trip to Trabzonspor.
With the game approaching half-time, Fenerbache were beating rivals Trabzonspor 1-0 when the referee called the game to a halt.
It was a good decision by the officials, as the players' safety had been scrutinised after a host of objects – including bricks and flares – had been thrown onto the pitch.
Kuyt's side went into the match leading the Turkish Super League – three points clear of Roberto Mancini's Galatasary. Having lost just one home game all season, Trabzonspor were always going to be tricky opposition.
But after Fener took an early lead, mayhem ensued for reasons still unclear. The home fans were out of control, and after a small object struck striker Emmanuel Emenike, goalkeeper Volkan Demirel became the target of a flare which missed him by a matter of centimetres - an action which caused a number of players to plead with the referee to abandon the game.
Turkey has always had a violent and intimidating atmosphere at a number of their football stadiums, and 33-year-old Dirk Kuyt must sometimes be wondering what he has let himself in for.

Twelve Alfred State students, two retired faculty members, one current faculty member, and a community volunteer made the trip to Texas last month to partner with disaster relief organization All Hands and Hearts – Smart Response in making a difference in the community.
Dresser is the newest member of a four-person extension team, which assists area grape growers with the implementation of research-based information.
Dr. Nicholas Waddy, associate professor in Alfred State's Social and Behavioral Sciences Department, is the author of a newly published textbook titled, "The Essential Guide to Western Civilization."
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has included $6.6 million in his proposed budget for an initiative to attract more investment and prosperity for the state's Southern Tier. Alfred State College (ASC) is leading the effort for this new Biorefinery Development and Commercialization Center (BDCC) for a sustainable solution to build a new forest economy.
One way in which Alfred State pays tribute to Dr. King is by honoring those who represent his spirit of service. This year, the college will host its eighth annual Spirit of Service Award Ceremony at 5 p.m. Jan. 30 in the community room at the Union University Church, 29 N. Main St., Alfred.
Murphy, an East Branch native who earned his digital media and animation bachelor's degree from Alfred State in May 2017, received the Grand Jury Award for his animated film, "Other Real."
"Yes we may have our disagreements, like brothers and sisters do," he said, "but we stick up for Alfred State and we stick up for one another at the end of the day."
Project Prom Dress Extravaganza 2018 will be taking place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, April 15 in the Pioneer Center on the Alfred campus.
During the ceremony, the auditorium roared with the clapping and cheering of supportive friends and family as the inductees crossed the stage to receive their certificates. In addition to the students, two advisers were inducted, as well.
As 2017 comes to a close, Alfred State is taking a look back at some of its biggest stories from the year.

Well my very good friend purchased the little p's a new book. Called gluten free with Emily it is all about coeliacs disease. Well they loved it. Little p being 20 mOnths was a little young to understand. But I know it will help him when older. But litle miss p who is four thought it was great. It really helped her to understand what little p has and why we have to be so careful with food. Plus she loves the idea of being a "gluten free detective"
Here's the link. It is American so mum is mom and coeliacs is celiacs. But it is still excellent

We report observations of dense molecular gas in the star-forming galaxy EGS 13004291 (z=1.197) using the Plateau de Bure Interferometer. We tentatively detect HCN and HNC (J=2-1) emission when stacked together at ~4sigma significance, yielding line luminosities of L_HCN (J=2-1) =(9 +/- 3) x 10^9 K km s^-1 pc^2 and L_HNC (J=2-1)= (5 +/-2) x 10^9 K km s^-1 pc^2 respectively. We also set 3sigma upper limits of < 7-8 x 10^9 K km s^-1 pc^2 on the HCO+, H2O (3_13-2_20) and HC3N (J=20-19) line luminosities. We serendipitously detect CO emission from two sources at z~1.8 and z~3.2 in the same field of view. We also detect CO(J=2-1) emission in EGS 13004291, showing that the excitation in the previously detected CO(J=3-2) line is subthermal (r_32=0.65 +/- 0.15). We find a line luminosity ratio of L_HCN/L_CO=0.17 +/- 0.07 , as an indicator of the dense gas fraction. This is consistent with the median ratio observed in z>1 galaxies (L_HCN/L_CO=0.16 +/- 0.07) and nearby ULIRGs (L_HCN/L_CO=0.13 +/- 0.03), but higher than in local spirals (L_HCN/L_CO=0.04 +/- 0.02). Although EGS 13004291 lies significantly above the galaxy main sequence at z~1, we do not find an elevated star formation efficiency (traced by L_FIR/L_CO) as in local starbursts, but a value consistent with main-sequence galaxies. The enhanced dense gas fraction, the subthermal gas excitation, and the lower than expected star formation efficiency of the dense molecular gas in EGS 13004291 suggest that different star formation properties may prevail in high-z starbursts. Thus, using L_FIR/L_CO as a simple recipe to measure the star formation efficiency may be insufficient to describe the underlying mechanisms in dense star-forming environments inside the large gas reservoirs.

The Newcastle United midfielder has been in top form for the club this season but last week it was reported that Arsenal were readying a £9 million move for the player, which would be swiftly rejected by The Toon Army.
The French paper reports that Arsenal will in fact have to spend a fee more in the region of €20 million in order to get hold of their man.
Wenger is after a dynamic midfielder to improve his injury prone midfield and Sissoko is believed to have become his number one target this season.
Sissoko is said to be annoyed by the recent departure from the club of manager Alan Pardew, who was allowed to join up with Crystal Palace this week.
Ahead of a meeting with last years FA Cup final opponents Hull City in the FA Cup third round tomorrow Arsene Wenger has revealed he would not have left The Gunners regardless of the result in the final last season.
He was asked yesterday if he would have walked away from Arsenal with defeat in last season's final, to which he responded:
"Walked where? To walk where? Walk away, no.
"Look, I just won my 600th game out of 1000, that means I won 60 per cent of the games and after 18 years it would not be serious to walk away for losing one game. I do my job as well as I can and I respect my contract always.
"We didn't win a trophy for years and of course people want that. As well, 2-0 down after 10 minutes and they nearly scored the third.
"When you know football, normally that means you have very little chance to win so the fact we could turn it around and win was a fantastic relief."

Day 1 – DEPARTURE
Board your flight from your home destination to Dublin, Ireland.
This itinerary assumes this to be an overnight flight.
Air fare independently arranged.
Day 2 – WELCOME TO DUBLIN
Arrival in Dublin Airport, Ireland.
Meet your guide at the airport for your pick up and go to your Dublin city hotel for check in. In the afternoon visit Dublin Castle. Dublin Castle was the seat of power and government for many centuries.
Dublin is one of Europe´s oldest and greatest cities, one that retains its historical and cultural charms.
From humble beginnings as a Viking trading port to a walled medieval castle city and then, in a glorious century of expansion, to an elegant Georgian metropolis with wide streets, gracious squares and great houses, neatly bordered by its two canals, Dublin will capture you heart.
Tonight enjoy a welcome drink - or sip a first pint of world famous Guinness - at a local pub with your tour director followed by dinner.

airport to hotel, three-course welcome dinner with menu choices, one
beverage, and
coffee or tea after, overnight in Dublin hotel

Day 4 – RING OF KERRY
Out at the very edge of Europe, on south-west Ireland's wild Atlantic seaboard, the Ring of Kerry circles the Iveragh Peninsula. The Ring is one of Ireland´s best known attractions, it's the contrast between the warmth of the people and the elemental nature of the place that makes it so special and worth slowing down to explore.
The ring will truly reveal itself as you take the time to stand wind-buffeted on cliff tops and wander on white sandy beaches.
Later visit a Brewery and sample some of the beer. Return to Killarney and dine at Kate Kearney's Cottage and watch lively music, song and dance.
> Buffet breakfast, door-to-door transportation, entrances, three-course dinner and show at Kate Kearney's Cottage, hotel in Killarney

Leave Killarney this morning and visit the Dingle Peninsula, as far west as you can go in Ireland. As once described by National Geographic as "the most beautiful place on Earth". A place of spectacular seascapes and landscapes shaped by the elements, a place where the mountains roll into the oceans. It's here that you´ll find the real Ireland in the Peninsula's thriving and unbroken traditions of language and music, folklore and storytelling, arts, crafts and artisan foods. Dingle with its bright coloured houses is known for the best food. Leave inspired, connected and refreshed.
Continue to Limerick, your home for the next three nights. Check into your hotel and in the evening we have dinner at Bunratty Castle, the most complete and authentic medieval fortress in Ireland. Built in 1425, it was restored in 1954 to its former medieval splendor and now contains mainly 15th and 16th century furnishings, tapestries, and works of art which capture the mood of those times.

In the evening join your tour director on a pub tour with dinner.

They lurk, dart, or just stare into their cell phones. Gamers have gotten off their couches and onto the sidewalk.
One Lake County city has embraced the current frenzy for Pokémon Go, the nation's most popular mobile game, with an innovative idea. The City of Eustis designed an event, "Go Eustis", to lure the game's players to its downtown lakefront, shops and restaurants,
On Tuesday, July 19, the city is partnering with its downtown merchants to host the family-friendly event. The goal of the game is for players to search for "spots" to catch different Pokémons with varying point values.
"We have seen a lot of families and even couples playing the Pokémon game over the last few days in Eustis. We have over 15 'Pokéstops' throughout Downtown Eustis and in Ferran Park," said Erin Bailey, the city's event coordinator.
During "Go Eustis" the city will be activating "lures" at all of the fifteen "stops". A "lure" attracts Pokémon to a Pokéstop for 30 minutes. That in turn attracts players trying to "catch" the various monster characters.
Pokémon Go currently has 21 million active players combing the streets across the globe to catch the decades-old Pokémon characters in what is an augmented-reality scavenger hunt utilizing smart phones.
"We thought we'd embrace the phenomenon by hosting an event and add a twist by partnering with our local businesses to offer theme-related specials to players," said Bailey about the three- and-a-half hour "Go Eustis".
The event starts at 4:30 p.m. at Ferran Park and various other locations downtown and will continue until 8 p.m. Players will fire up their mobile devices to discover all the "spots" and "lures."
Players are encouraged to be mindful of cars and safety hazards as they scurry from spot to spot.

After we got back from the Dominican Republic The Hubs flew off to California for work and I drove all day to visit my sister. Being with my sister and her adorable chilins was so wonderful I just didn't really stop and take the time to write anything. Time is precious you know : ) I will have to upload some of the pictures and post them up here.
That's right. Get excited. Pictures from the Dominican Republic trip and from my sisters! how happy :D
Anyhow. Today I sent The Hubs a Birthday Wish List. Every year I voluntarily make one up for him. It's no trouble really. In fact I quite enjoy doing it. But for some reason, I didn't this year. So on Sunday The Hubs asked me about it and if I would please make one up for him. So I did. And since it is almost my birthday (I will be ancient in exactly one week. ah!!!) I thought I'd better go ahead and get that list to The Hubs : ) ... and I thought I would share it with you all. Since you know, I can.
Hannah's Birthday Wish List : )
an ipod nano - it's just so cute and little. And it can keep track of running: pace, time, distance. It's especially perfect since I am a professional runner. kehehe.
see? perfect!
A Lululemon Cool Racerback tank top. I tried it on in the store the other day and it is Amazing. Seriously. It made me want to run a marathon (or half) right then and there. I want it. I need it : ) It's just so comfy!
A Pandora charm bracelet with a charm.
[note to The Hubs: this is the bracelet I was talking about : ) I also happen to l-o-v-e this perfect little charm. I'm sure it will be the most expensive one since I didn't look at the price. kehehe. end note]
Night stands for our bedroom. Right now we only have wobbly little tables and the only thing that fits on top is a lamp and a cell phone. New and bigger ones would be loverly : )
Headbands I always look and admire them but I never get them even though I would wear them a lot. I would like me some I think.
yes. these are some things I would especially like for my birthday. Don't let me stop you from getting me something from my wish list :D
I like them all a lot. That's why they are on the list. I'm just glad I don't have to be the one deciding what to get me from my birthday : ) kehehe. That's the hard part . . . for me at least!
Sorry it's been so long. I think I should be able to get back on my posting schedule again! Also, I am soooo excited for all of my new friends and followers! You all make my day! I just love making new friends and learning about you all : ) welcome welcome! And thanks to all of you who have been a long for a while. I just want you all to know that I appreciate you and am so thankful for you each and every one!

Hi y'all! Today I wanted to share one of my all-time favorite recipes. This is one that my husband, Joe, and I created together, and we literally enjoy it at least once every week! You probably already know how important seafood (especially fish that are rich in heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon) are in a healthy diet. However, you may be one of the many people who doesn't really like fish or finds it difficult to prepare. I know I used to be one of those people! I thought fish always tasted too...
What's not to love about guacamole? It's easy to make, a fun party dip, and full of healthy ingredients! Avocados, of course, are the main ingredient, and they are a great source of healthy fats that are important for heart health and for keeping your skin looking great. Tomatoes (rich in vitamin C), fresh cilantro (which contains zinc and vitamin A), and spices join the party to create the perfect, flavorful guac. Whether you spread it on toast or dip tortilla chips into it, guacamole is a must-have recipe.
When we think about healthy eating, we often focus on WHAT we eat. However, HOW we eat is just as important to achieving a healthy lifestyle. In this video, I share the four habits of mindful eaters. Research shows that mindful eaters naturally eat less while still feeling more satisfied than those who do not eat mindfully.
Here in the South, no picnic, cookout, or party is complete without a platter of Deviled Eggs. When I was a little girl, I thought they MUST be "bad" because they had "devil" in the name. Now, as a registered dietitian, I don't classify particular foods as "good" or "bad" (let's face it, food does not have a moral code to follow!), but I do love trying my hand at "upgrading" a recipe so it provides me with more nutritional benefits along with great taste!
No cooking is required for this easy, healthy recipe featured here in my latest Cooking with Sarah-Jane video! Just layer the ingredients, and you'll enjoy a protein-packed, one bowl meal that has all the delicious flavors of the Mediterranean!
As I mentioned in my last blog post, I will be cooking on the Georgia Beef-sponsored cooking stage at the Ultimate Women's Expo in Atlanta this weekend. Join me at noon on both Saturday and Sunday to learn how to cook up some fun recipes that are both nutritious and delicious! You'll also learn some of my favorite tips and tricks for healthy cooking! This recipe for Beef and Blue Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms is what I'll be cooking up on Sunday.
This weekend I will be at the Ultimate Women's Expo in Atlanta at the World Congress
Center! I am excited to be cooking on the Beef cooking stage at 1pm on
Ever confused by all the different types of milk in your grocery store these days? From classic dairy milk to almond milk to coconut milk and more, in this video I give you a side-by-side nutritional comparison, using just the facts, so you can decide what's right for you. Which milk is your go-to option and why? Please share in the comments.

The new Pope leaves Saint Mary Major, Rome (Il Giornale)
Pope Francis, barely 12 hours after his election, quietly left the Vatican early on Thursday to pray for guidance at a Rome basilica as he looks to usher a Catholic Church mired in intrigue and scandal into a new age of simplicity and humility.
Francis went to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, the oldest church in the world dedicated to the Madonna, where he prayed before a famous icon of the Madonna called the Salus Populi Romani, or Protectress of the Roman People."He spoke to us cordially like a father," said Father Ludovico Melo, a priest who prayed with the pope. "We were given 10 minutes' advance notice that the pope was coming".(Thanks to Rrorate Caeli:here)
Here Is A Good Starting List For The New Pope To Do!
Celebrate a public Mass in the Extraordinary Form
Write an encyclical on the restoration of orthodoxy
Invite Bishop round for drinkies
Hold a reception for Una Voce
Restore the Latin Mass within seminaries
Issue a command to the Bishops to ensure at least one Sunday Mass is an EF one
Command the spread of Plainchant
Ban all musical "Street" instruments from the Liturgy
Burn all hymn books post 1970
Create an Orthodox Syllabus for Religious Education in Catholic Schools (Many thanks to Richard C for these suggestions-See Linen On Hedgerow:here)

"Taylor Swift, bit of a b---h. Most of her music in concert is very angry, lashing out at anyone that's ever 'mistreated her' (read: not done what she wanted). She's not big on fan requests, in any way, down to being snappy at 8 year old girls that worship the ground she'd walked on." (Source)
"Steven Tyler pumped my gas. He grew up in New Hampshire and has a summer home in Sunapee. I was driving through town and stopped for gas. I couldn't get the pumps to work because they're old and I'm dumb. I hear someone say behind me, 'Let me help you out' and grab the pump. I turn around and see Steven Tyler. So being the smooth 17 year old I was, I said, 'Oh my god! You're Steven Tyler, from Aerosmith!' He smiled and said, 'Yeah, and you are?' So I replied, 'I'm Sarah! From (town I lived in)!' He started laughing at me and I just stood there grinning like an idiot. 'Well, Sarah from (town I lived in), have a nice day!' and took off. I called my mom to gush about meeting him but she went to high school with him and basically said I shouldn't talk to heroin addicts." (Source)
"I have met a few due to my line of work. These were mostly more interaction than 'omg can I get a pic.' Examples: Clint Eastwood. Very cool and polite, but not extremely talkative. I took it as his demeanor, not a snub. Kelly Clarkson. Also very sweet and humble. I don't think she has forgotten where she came from. All of Metallica. Lars seemed a little d--kish and self important, but James and the rest were eager to chat and great dudes. Sammy Hagar. My mom knows his sister. Only a quick meeting but seemed friendly. I guess my mom sees he fairly often (not in that way! I hope. Dad?) Kanye West. Total a--hole. I was hoping he would have a seizure in front of me so my day could be brightened. Oasis. You can imagine. Heidi Klum and Seal. Pretentious a--hats. Tori and Dean. Down to earth people as well. Show is pretty close to reality, but they do have slightly more child care assistance than they let on. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. Wanted to punch Spencer until he stopped breathing and rescue Heidi. I don't know, she didn't seem that dumb in real life. It was weird. She seemed regretful IRL. Strange encounter. To sum it up: The Worst - tie between Kanye and Satan. The Best - Ron Jeremy. I s--t you not, he is genuinely a man who would give a stranger his shirt. He is deep, thoughtful and I actually feel like my life gained value by listening to him. Don't judge him by his line of work, he is a good man with a good heart." (Source)
"Met Carlos Santana, waiting to board a plane at like 6am. Awesome dude. Our daughter who was about six months old at the time was making faces at him, and he commented that if she was already trying to flirt with rockers, we're going to be in a world of trouble as parents." (Source)
"Samuel L. Jackson came to a show at the theater I work at in Atlanta. Our box office attendant was taking his credit card for tickets and needed to ask his address to process the payment (our system was a little ghetto back then). His response: 'See, this kind of s--t happens in black theaters, no motherf--kin white theater is gonna ask that, they're just gonna take my money.' I was way more excited that she got Sam Jackson to say 'motherf--kin' than I should have been." (Source)
"James Franco happened into a bar I worked at the Halloween after Spiderman 2 came out. He was nice and friendly, but was completely annoying by the end of the night. Not in a celebrity annoying way; he wasn't demanding anything, was by himself, didn't pull any 'I'm famous' stuff with ladies, and not acting like an a-hole. He was really nice, actually, but just annoying as s--t. I don't think he stopped talking the entire night." (Source)
"I met Redman and Method Man after they did their album together and they are exactly as you would imagine. I was under 18 and I got backstage to one of their concerts. They were awesome about taking pictures and insisted on having random groupies take semi-explicit pictures with 'lil n----- who snuck backstage.' ...Then Redman got so high he passed out on the snack table." (Source)
"I once saw Adam Sandler and Kevin James coming out of a movie theater in LA. A group of teenage girls ran up to them, freaked out and asked Kevin James to take a picture of them with Adam Sandler. Kevin James laughed about it and took the picture." (Source)
"Taylor Swift. She acts exactly like what her videos make her out to be - immature. She annoyed the crap out of me. I also found out she freaks when people don't know who she is. Carrie Underwood. Worst f--king b---h I have ever met. She was throwing a birthday party for her now husband and everything HAD to be about her. She literally screamed orders, inches away from people's faces. Other days she kept scratching herself, I don't know if she had crabs or what. Lea Michele. Sadly, pretty similar to Carrie. Rather than throwing temper tantrums, she just flat-out refuses to talk to anyone who's not famous or working for her. No autographs. No photos. She rolls her eyes at fans. After the third encounter where she gave the 'talk to the hand' signal to a little girl, I wanted to throw her out the window. Miranda Lambert. This woman would f--k a coat rack if it gave her the time of day. She seemed permanently drunk or permanently stupid, she had to have someone hold her hand at every moment. LeAnn Rimes. I have to be fair and say I only knew her when she was young. But she was a whiny, stuck-up b---h. Bragged that her daddy moved the family all over the country because her daddy knew she was going to be a star. Blegh. Jodie Foster. Demand, demand, demand. Does not know the words 'please,' 'thank you,' or 'hello.' Does not care who you are, unless she's about to be on camera with you, and then snap! It's instant smiles and charm. I'm pretty sure those are indications of a psychopath." (Source)
"Richard Gere. Stand up guy. Sweet, a little flirtatious. Very patient with everyone he meets, very willing to work with people and open to taking advice. The nicest actor I have ever met. Axl Rose. Very nice, surprisingly. Very distracted that day but not at all rude. Sally Field. Down to earth, great sense of humor, makes fun of herself. Love her. Dolly Parton. She relies a little too much on her staff for my taste, but she is a class act. And funny! Snoop Dogg. This is a guy who just doesn't give a s--t about facade. Incredibly generous with his time and his possessions. I loved him. Drew Barrymore. One of the sweetest women I've ever known, it's no wonder she was taken advantage of in her youth. She craves positive attention, reminded me of a little lost puppy dog expecting to be hit. She does have an impressive use of obscenities, however. Hugh Jackman. I went to a showing of the first X-Men movie and dressed up as Rogue. NO ONE ELSE dressed up. I got stares and felt really, really stupid. He tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'Wow, you're really dedicated aren't you?' At the time I had no idea who he was, he wasn't dressed as Wolverine and he was pretty unknown, so I told him to piss off. He laughed and walked away. Now that I know, that was a really cool way for him to handle the situation." (Source)
"I went up to Wil Wheaton's table at a con, and after chatting with him a bit, got a signed photo from him. As I was walking away, I realized I forgot to pay for my photo. I started to get really anxious, because I didn't want Wil Wheaton to hate me. So I waited in his long line again, and when I explained why was there again, he said, 'You waited in line again? What a sweetheart!' So yeah. The coiner of 'Don't be a dick' called me a sweetheart." (Source)
"Matthew McConaughey is very kind. I tried to take a photo of him (on my boss's orders) but I didn't want to, so I was trying to use my phone's reverse camera. He noticed what I was doing, and that I was having trouble, and told me, 'You can just do it.' So now I have a photo of Matthew McConaughey laughing at me. It's fantastic. Also, his voice sounds exactly the same in real life." (Source)
"The best I've met was Kelly Rowland. I was 9 (this was when Destiny's Child was still big) and had extreme anxiety problems. I got separated from my mom in Las Vegas. I was running through a casino, sobbing and ran smack into her and knocked her over. Her security was all over me in about three seconds, but she told them to leave me alone. She helped me up, hugged me, told me she liked my shoes, and asked what my mom looked like. She actually helped me find my mom! I finally figured out who she was, and said in a much too loud voice, 'You're my favorite and I know all your songs and I THINK YOU'RE PRETTIER THAN BEYONCÉ AND YOU SHOULD BE IN FRONT.' She cracked up and told me I was very sweet. She ended up hanging out with us for a few more minutes, even sang with me. It was the single greatest moment of my 9 year old life. At the end of the encounter, I asked her for her autograph, and she signed it, 'To ---, my #1 fan who knocked me off my feet! Keep listening. Love, Kelly.'" (Source)
"I got to met Dale Earnhardt before he died. F--k that guy. I was 10 at an autograph sesh and after I had asked for a picture with him he took my camera and threw it in the garbage. What an a--hole, I don't care who you are you don't do that to a kid." (Source)
"I met Lewis Black in Iowa City when he was doing a show at a college. He's not nearly like his stand up. He's a very cool guy. I was a little drunk, and without making an a-- of myself, I walked over and told him I enjoyed his stand up and the movie Accepted, to this he shook my hand and asked me if I saw his show. I told him I had not because I didn't go to that college. He handed me 2 tickets and said 'come see the show.' VERY COOL." (Source)
"The worst (by far) was Dale Earnhardt Jr. We lived right down the road from the Pocono Raceway. My friends and I (we were all around 12) used to get our parents to buy us soda and beer and we would throw them all in a cooler and make lots of money selling it to rednecksfans before and after the race. After the race one day, we were calling out to the people, 'Fifty cents, ice cold soda! $1 Beers! Celebrate (whatever nascar driver's) win with a cold beer!' Suddenly an angry looking guy in shades comes stomping toward us, beer can in hand, yelling and asking if we had permits. I just shrugged, my friends shook their heads no. He continues to rant and tells us to 'Get the hell on out of here.' I told him, 'No way, loser, we're here to make money!' His face goes purple and he throws his half-empty beer at me, screaming. My friends are backing away, I stand my ground, and say to him, 'Go and hit me so I can go tell my dad about the crazy drunk redneck that tried to kill me loser!' He loses his s--t. Flips his sunglasses up, starts yelling his face off, and calls for security. My friends and I book it. About a mile away, one of them finally turns to me and says, 'You idiot!' And I'm just like, 'Pssh, what was he gonna do?' and my friend says, 'No, you moron, that was Dale Earnhardt Jr.!' My reply, '...who?' My friends explain who he is and the fact that he had just lost miserably, and I'm the a--hole sitting there calling him a loser. Uh... my bad?" (Source)
"Whispered to my sister, 'that that lady looks a lot like Parker Posey,' at the grocery store. I live in Vermont, so I never in a million years thought I would see a celebrity there. Then she burst out, 'OH I heard my name! Celebrity in the grocery store!' Sister: 'Are you really Parker Posey?' Parker Posey: 'Yup I am real. You can touch!' And she holds out her arm. We were so flabbergasted we touched her sleeve, and said it was nice to meet her. I wish I asked for a photo. To Parker Posey if you see this, my sister and I aren't usually as awkward as we were. You were lovely." (Source)
"I got drunk with Jack Black in Lake Tahoe. I was at Cabo Wabo after a Sammy Hagar concert and Sammy stopped by to play a couple more songs. When I was checking out the crowd I saw Jack Black mingling about, so I offered to by him a shot. Jack, myself and my two buddies all took our shots and then a few more. We all ended up dancing around like a bunch of apes. It was a good time." (Source)
"Sat next to Geoffrey Rush on a train. Sent a message to my friend saying 'Holy crap, I'm sitting next to Geoffrey Rush' and he must have read over my shoulder. He laughed. He was in a play in Melbourne and I was going to see it about a week later. I told him I was looking forward to it. He asked my name, and then told me to go to the box office when I saw the show. A week later when I saw it, I went to the box office. He'd reserved me and my friends front row seats. An absolute gentlemen! One of the nicest guys ever!" (Source)
"Warren Buffet bought my brother and I malts at our local malt shop. Walked up to my dad, said that he'd like to buy our malts and that was that. Neither of us knew who he was, being 5 or six at the time, but it was definitely a cool move." (Source)

okay. this is a picture of me and my parents in London at Trafalgar Square when I was little.
today i made it my mission to go take this picture! My grandparents have this picture hanging in their house, along with pictures of my other aunts and uncles in the same position at the same booth. so..its super hot today. and super humid. not a fun combination. but sam and i set out in trafalgar square in search of this telephone booth. we had the original picture on my ipod to make positive certain that we had the right one. so we ran around sweaty trafalgar square for a good 15 minutes trying to find it. we finally realized that a new tree had been planted when they redid the square and it hid the telephone booth and the street sign and the monument. so. here is my attempt at the picture. sad. but i promise its the same booth. i was so disappointed!!
today was also the day that i picked to wear flip flops all day... nasty huh?
classic telephone booth... :] so fun.
most of the group went to st. pauls cathedral for a choral eucharist today. it was a really neat experience. i really enjoyed seeing the choir. the little boys were so adorable! this place is so amazingly beautiful inside. i wish they let us take pictures! its so pretty.
this time tomorrow i will be landing in atlanta! USA here i come!

My sister is coming, my sister is coming! I'm so excited my sister is coming to stay with me for a week! She's like my best friend on earth and one person I can truly say I trust with my life! Ok so she's not my twin like the images reference but we do have identical sounding voices….you can't tell us apart – even our mother has to ask which one of us it is, if we phone her.

I guess some people must be bad...
"Just wanted to let you know that the Child Abuse and Division of Criminal Records checks are back already! Can't believe it - you all must have an angel on your shoulders. The FBI checks take longer but I can proceed as long as I have the ones that have come in. See you the 10th!"
Woo hoo! We're one tiny step closer.

You will be introduced to the basic concepts of clown theatre and you will learn Hallelujah!'s signature tune – Charlie Chaplin's "Smile".

L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering (LTHE) in consortium with EMAS CHIYODA Subsea has won two engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contracts from Saudi Arabia's Saudi Aramco.
The contracts are for the supply and installation of four wellhead decks in the Safaniya field and to upgrade 17 platforms in various offshore fields in the Arabian Sea off Saudi Arabia.
The contacts were awarded as part of a long-term agreement awarded by Saudi Aramco to the LTHE – EMAS CHIYODA Subsea Consortium in June last year.
Subramanian Sarma, L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering's managing director and CEO, said: "We are delighted with the new awards. It is an opportunity for Aramco to benefit from our flagship facility at Hazira as the center of fabrication of the four decks in one of the contracts. It is also an opportunity for our consortium to build in-Kingdom skills and capabilities to deliver the brownfield work in the other project."
"Hasbah Offshore Gas Increment Project, which is a part of the Fadhili Gas Plant is progressing well and in accordance with the plan. The consortium with our strong teams - delivering excellence in execution and bespoke EPCI services with the state-of-the-art facilities, are committed to a long term participation in Aramco's projects," he said.

A large selection of health food products.
1 Review
First Review by Yasminenazmy
Holds Potential - Edit
You'll find many of these shops across town, most will have a wide selection of teas, supplements, herbs and spices, as well as brown rice, brown sugar, and sometimes they have vegan cookies! They're quite good, but I think the concept is still new and they have a lot of room for improvement/expansion. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

decided: April 30, 1979.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, EX REL. LEROY HAIRSTON, PETITIONER-APPELLANT, CROSS-APPELLEE,v.WARDEN, ILLINOIS STATE PENITENTIARY, STATEVILLE CORRECTIONAL CENTER, RESPONDENT-APPELLEE, CROSS-APPELLANT.
On Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The Honorable Bernard M. Decker, Presiding.
Before Swygert, Lay*fn* and Pell, Circuit Judges.
Author: Lay
This case presents consolidated appeals from final orders of the federal district court denying petitioner's first application for a writ of habeas corpus (No. 78-1219) and granting petitioner's second application (No. 78-2219).
In 1969 Leroy Hairston, a member of a Chicago youth gang, was convicted for murder and sentenced to 75-100 years in prison following a jury trial in Illinois state court. In pretrial proceedings the petitioner unsuccessfully challenged the constitutionality of the Illinois alibi-notice statute.*fn1 The conviction was affirmed by the Illinois Appellate Court, and leave to appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court was denied. While his motion was pending before the Illinois Supreme Court the decision of Wardius v. Oregon, 412 U.S. 470, 93 S. Ct. 2208, 37 L. Ed. 2d 82 (1973), declaring the Oregon alibi-notice statute unconstitutional was decided by the Supreme Court of the United States.*fn2
Having thus exhausted his state remedies, petitioner filed the first of two applications for a writ of habeas corpus in federal district court. As grounds for relief he asserted that the alibi-notice statute operated to deny him a fair trial, and that his trial was prejudiced by pretrial publicity and references made at trial concerning youth gang warfare in Chicago. Petitioner's counsel filed an affidavit stating that several witnesses could verify petitioner was in a location other than where the murder occurred; that counsel had verified the existence of the alibi witnesses; and counsel believed that any attempt to offer an alibi defense without compliance with the notice of alibi statute would have been futile since the trial court denied petitioner's alternative motions to obtain discovery of the prosecution's case or have the alibi disclosure statute declared unconstitutional. The district court, the Hon. William J. Lynch presiding, granted the writ of habeas corpus, ruling that the Wardius decision was to be applied retrospectively to petitioner's case.
On appeal, this court reversed the district court's decision. The court stated:
(W)e need not consider the retroactivity of Wardius because it is clear from the state court record that petitioner was not harmed by application of the Illinois statute.
Petitioner concedes that no alibi evidence was excluded in this case, but he contends that the trial court's ruling on his motion to quash was the equivalent of such exclusion. We disagree.
Petitioner's argument to the state court on the motion to quash was directed primarily at obtaining reciprocal discovery, not only of the state's rebuttal witnesses but also grand jury minutes, police reports and other materials. Petitioner never requested a ruling that any alibi evidence would be excluded if he offered it without complying with the statute. In addition, the statute provides that the court may exclude the evidence. Illinois courts have interpreted this provision to make the decision discretionary with the trial judge. People v. Cline, supra, 8 Ill.App.3d 917 at 921, 290 N.E.2d 622. We cannot conclude, therefore, that had alibi evidence been offered at trial, it would have been excluded. For this reason, the alibi-notice statute was not unconstitutionally applied in this case.
(Emphasis added.) (Footnotes omitted.)
Because the district court did not address the prejudicial pretrial publicity claim, this court remanded the case to the district court for consideration of this cause.
On remand the district court, Judge Bernard M. Decker presiding, noted that this court limited the remand to consideration of the prejudicial publicity claim and therefore denied petitioner's motion for renewed consideration of the Wardius claim. With regard to the merits of petitioner's claim of prejudicial publicity the district court denied the writ. From this order petitioner now appeals (No. 78-1219).
Thereafter petitioner filed a second petition for a writ of habeas corpus again asserting that the right to present alibi testimony was impaired by application of the Illinois alibi-notice statute. The district court, Judge Bernard M. Decker presiding, held that a successive petition was appropriate under the unusual circumstances presented in the case. The court reasoned:
In support of this motion, the petitioner has filed an affidavit from his trial counsel supplementing the original affidavit filed before Judge Lynch, and an affidavit from counsel for his codefendant. Both affidavits essentially reiterate the belief of counsel that the court had clearly indicated that an alibi defense would not be permitted without compliance with the statute. The supplemental affidavit from Hairston's trial counsel also refers to his fear that any further attempt to present an alibi ...

text: The researchers found that arsenic continues to be a major threat to the good health of millions of Bangladeshis, almost two decades after the problem was first detected, despite a massive effort to provide safe drinking water. They also found that rice, the country's staple food, can also contain potentially dangerous levels of arsenic, if the crop is irrigated with cont*****ted water, as happens in several parts of the country. Ministers say that more research is needed on this and that people should not be alarmed. Arsenic poisoning can cause cancers, heart and lung disease. It first became a problem in Bangladesh in the 1970s after the UN dug millions of new tube wells. The water that these wells tapped was cont*****ted with arsenic, and millions were affected in what the World Health Organisation termed 'the greatest mass poisoning in history'.
