As licensed professional oral health clinicians and educators, dental hygienists practice as members of the dental team, using knowledge of biomedical, dental, clinical and social sciences to assist individuals and groups in achieving and maintaining optimum oral health. The hygienist provides preventive services, preliminary examinations, radiographs, sealants, nonsurgical periodontal therapy, fluoride treatments, and patient education. Depending upon individual state laws, the role of the hygienist has broadened to include procedures that are beyond this traditional scope of responsibility such as the administration of local anesthesia and nitrous oxide analgesia, and/or certain restorative procedures. As a specialist, the dental hygienist is an integral co-therapist in helping consumers prevent oral disease, arrest existing periodontal (gum) disease, and maintain oral health.

« Are You Fearful of Change? | Main | Get Energized Now! »
Is Fear of Failure Stopping You?
By Janine Fitzgerald | October 31, 2011
Winston Churchill once said,"Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm". A prime example of that is the life of Abraham Lincoln who had eight business and political failures in a row before he was elected president. So what is it about failure that is so scary, leading us to a life of unfulfilled dreams? Has the fear of failure ever stopped you from starting your own business, pursuing a new degree, or moving to a different state?
Take charge over your fear by using the following strategies to begin moving towards your desires: first, define success based on your own values. What good is it to get public recognition and respect when your in poor health due to neglecting your needs? Second, ensure that your pursuits align with your true aspirations. Often times children choose a career in order to please their parents, only to endure years of unfulfillment. Third, be willing to learn from the past and try not to label things as mistakes but rather experiences. And last, honestly ask yourself what's the worst that could happen if you're not 100% successful. I sometimes find myself worrying about the what-ifs, but when I ask myself that question, I instantly feel more calm and confident.
If you are ready to overcome your fears and would like to explore the possibilities of creating a step by step plan that is specific to your lifestyle and needs, visit my website below.

November 1st, 2011 at 1:05 pmHi There. I love this blog post. Sometimes I think fear is sparked by the 'unknown'. Many people want to be happy, thin, healthy and wealthy – but they haven't actually taken the time to imagine specifically what such a life would be like. How would you spend your mornings if you were happy, healthy, wealthy? What would you eat for dinner and what would you do with your time? In order to release fear sometimes we have to imagine happiness.

November 1st, 2011 at 3:05 pmNice post. Planning things ahead alleviates fear. Also Dale Carnegie's advice to compartementalize time; not to look at the big elephant, but just at one chunk of it at a time.

The spring in Texas is always an excellent time for weddings and engagements. This spring Tamika and I were particularly excited and a part of which had to do with the fact that we got to shoot Joesph and Samantha's beautiful island wedding at San Luis Resort in Galveston, TX. Being that it was my first time capturing a wedding in Galveston, coming in I had all kinds of ideas from other island weddings I had shot in Jamaica and the Bahamas. As always, things did not turn out as plan, but in this case, like most times, turned out better than I could have imagined.
Samantha had beautifully designed a classic chic wedding centered around her Peacock Feathered theme which she pulled together flawlessly. It was such a pleasure to be a part of their special occasion from which I am extremely excited about the images we were able to capture and share!
What we love most about each other: he says "The sweet heart I have for him." I say "you're always there for me no matter what". – Samantha
Make up – Lyzadora Beauty Consultants
Ceremony – San Luis Resort
Florals – Mainland Floral
Cake – The Cake Lady Bakery
One of the things my wife and I have always appreciated is the support that we have received from the people that have known from our past. To me it is such an honor to capture the wedding of friend that you have known for a really long time. This was the case in Troy and Ricci's outdoor wedding at Baldwin Park in downtown Houston Texas. I first met Ricci in what I think was 4th grade. So, when she informed me that she was getting married and considering me to photograph her wedding day, I was truly honored.
Troy and Ricci both live in Austin, but decided to have their wedding in Houston closer to all of their family and friends. The wedding itself was anything but typical and really complimented their personalities and reflected their appreciation for their friends and family. It was such a pleasure to capture their wedding day and we are really excited to share the images.
When Justin & Jessica first met it was during their Graduate school tenure at Uof H. I am sure at the time they did not realize that though they had started at rival universities, it would be their post graduate studies that would bring them together to form their new team as Husband and Wife. It was such an amazing experience shooting Justin and Jessica's engagement photography session at the University of Houston in Houston Texas. We literally cannot wait to be a part of their wedding this fall at the Red Oak Ball Room in City Centre.
I proposed on a random Friday. Jessica had just come home from traveling and I asked her to lunch. Before we left her apartment, I told her that we hadn't prayed in a while together and that I wanted to say a quick prayer before we left. She looked at me kind of funny because she thought something was wrong due to my very serious facial expression (I was nervous..lol). So I went through the normal prayer, praying for family, relationships, health, discipline and asked the Lord that if it were in His will that he would allow Jessica to be my wife. She literally hyperventilated because she didn't see it coming.
This year's engagement season began with my session with Julius & Cerrone engagement photography session at Rice University in Houston Texas. When I chose to shoot at that location I had no idea that it was Julius' alma mater. We really had such a great time working with Julius & Cerrone and are happy to share the images from their session!
It is difficult for me to discuss Vini & Denise's wedding without expressing my genuine affection for them as a couple! Seriously, they are an incredible couple and they had orchestrate the best wedding you would ever want to participate.
More than the flowers, decor, and other tangible items that make up the physical aspect of the wedding, there was an overwhelming feeling of love, compasion, and support that flowed through their personalities and was echoed by their family and friends that attended the wedding!
Everything about the wedding was uniquely crafted to reflect their character and values. For that reason, I considered it an incredible compliment when they chose me to document their wedding through my photography. Here are images from their wedding at St. Mark's Mehodist Church and Nouveau Art Bar.
That is the way it was in my last session of 2012 and most likely the one session that will receive the most attention all year. The reason is because this session was of my friend, colleague, and co-conspirator to take over the world of photography and her Family. She is the genius behind ChristinShootsPeople Photography and Mochakid magazine which will make its highly anticipated debut in February! If you are one of the 12,000+ fans that currently follow her facebook fanpage, then you have already been introduced to Riley, Baby Keon, and Christin's Husband Keon. And though they seem like the perfect family to hang out with on instagram, trust me when I say the images do not do it justice. Riley has a smile and a personality that steels my wife heart every time we her see her. Everyone loves to laugh and smile and for me that is all I could every ask of any family. It was such an honor and a pleasure to shoot our friends and I look forward to the next time we hangout!
I have always tried to respond to extreme negativity with extreme positivity. Not always possible, but for the most part I believe that doing so reduces the impact of negativity, even if only in my mind. For me, sharing images of people in love and families together provide a reminder of the things that are really important in life. This is why in light of recent tragedies; I felt it extremely important to share images from my recent Family Photography Session with the Morris Family. It was such a pleasurable feeling to be in the presence of such a loving family. They provided a pleasant reminder of something beautiful in the shadow of darkness and to value my own family this Holiday season.
Special Thanks to Ashley Harris of Ashley Harris Photography!
We all think about it. Having a wedding draped with palm trees, a never ending ocean backdrop, drop dead gorgeous weather, and a relaxed vacation vibe with all of our close family and friends. I get it. But the reality is only a quarter of American's have a destination wedding and less than one third of those weddings are held outside the Continental US.
So, for the small percentage of couples that choose to have their nuptials in an exotic and distant destination comes a awesome reward of rum punch filled rock glasses and aqua blue ocean water as clear as unstained and freshly cleaned window. That was the case for Damon and Adreana who managed to avoid being disappointed by Hurricane Sandy by a couple days.
The weather the day of the Wedding was absolutely amazing which was preceded by two nights of knockout punch (the name says it all), all inclusive goodness, and dancing all provided by Sandals Negril.
The whole experience was truly amazing and it was such an honor to participate in the wedding of Damon & Adreana Nash.
So, for those of you that have never visited the Alden Hotel in Houston, TX, you have yet to experience their marvelous second floor banquet space that offers the perfect hybrid of outdoor light and scenery with in door comfort. Which is awesome because to attend a outdoor wedding in Houston in the beginning of September one must prepare themselves to endure the humid heat.
Fortunately, I did not have to prepare myself for such torture to shoot James & Danielle's sophisticated wedding soriee at the Alden Hotel! The affair was as she described it, which was "Romantic Fun".
As an added bonus both Danielle and James have a great appreciation for art work, as James himself is a painter, thus both encouraged me to explore creatively as I photographed their special day. As any photographer would tell you, that was definitely a plus!
With that being said, here are a few images from their wedding. Be sure to like our Fanpage and follow us on Pinterest!
It was really awesome to be a part of Scott & Jackie's Wedding at the Hilton Americas in Houston, TX located directly across the street from Discover Green! I had never shot at the Hilton before, but I can say that it was a great experience. Scott & Jackie are an amazing couple and being a part of their wedding was an absolute pleasure!

This place offers the best dumplings and beef soup with Chinese noodles in town. Try the "steam pork buns" (a.k.a. soup dumplings). Wait until they are cool, then pop one in your mouth. It's a perfect soup, meatball and dumpling experience.
I love this place, I've been coming here now for over four yrs and about twice a month. Also since I've been coming here my standards too has risen for Chinese food. I have turned about four friends onto Fu Fu Cafe and they ended up coming on their own. Please try Fu Fu Cafe trust me you had worst, their "Hot Spicy Chicken" & "Chinese Broccoli & Beef w/Crispy Flat Noodle" the to die for. We're wasting your time and experience ordering "Sweet & Sour Chicken", please try real Chinese food!
Fu Fu Cafe is always packed and not over priced too. Bon Appetit has written about it, of one of the restaurants to eat in Houston. Of all the restaurants in the strip Fu Fu's at it's the "only" one full and people waiting outside the door to eat.

The soup dumplings, or "steamed pork buns," as indicated on Fu Fu's menus, are small, doughy bags of concentrated broth and meat eagerly waiting to erupt in your mouth. These meaty morsels are both amazingly delicious and amazingly hot. If you're not careful, you'll scorch your lips, tongue, gums and anything else the molten inner liquids come into contact with. But handled correctly, you would find yourself with a new addiction. More »
Fu Fu's awesome soup dumplings appear on the menu disguised as "A26 Steam Pork Bun (4) $2.50." The only way to appreciate the true genius of the soup dumpling is to burst the whole thing in your mouth. That way, the soup combines with the soft dough and the loose meatball to form a wonderfully slurpy bite of soup, meat and dough. By all means try them, but remember they come to the table extremely hot. Wait until they cool! Fu Fu's Beijing-style pan-fried pork dumplings are long rectangles... More »

Senior Stijn van Pel scored twice, and junior Kragh Delello had a goal and an assist as Oneonta High bounced back from its first Southern Tier Athletic Conference boys soccer loss since 2009 with a 5-1 victory at Seton Catholic Central on Monday.
Van Pel scored 20 goals last season in helping the Yellowjackets to a Section Four Class B title last season, but Delello's production this season is somewhat surprising. He played on the junior varsity team last season.
"He's scored in every game," OHS coach Alex Brannan said of Delello. "He's coming off the bench. When he comes off the bench, he does a good job. He's in the right spot and knows where the goal is. He's one of the reasons the JVs did so well last year. He's pushing my starters for a position."
Delello set up senior Cael McCabe's first varsity goal _ and that came with 2 ½ minutes left in the first half and gave the Yellowjackets a 1-0 lead. Delello played a ball to the far post and McCabe finished it.
"We had a lot of chances (before McCabe's goal)," Brannan said. "Their goalie (Connor Ligeikis) played well. He made a lot of saves, so to get a goal before halftime was big and we came out pretty strong in the second half."
Van Pel then scored twice in the first 16 minutes of the second half. Alex Fox set up the first four minutes into the second half.
"He was about 8 yards out and roofed it," Brannan said.
With 24 minutes left, van Pel made it 3-0.
Paul Bischoff also scored for the Yellowjackets, who received two assists from Zach Joseph.
Brannan added he was pleased with the way his squad responded to a 4-2 loss to Johnson City on Friday. That marked OHS' first STAC loss since a 2-1 setback to Owego on Sept. 11, 2009 _ a span of 37 straight league wins.
"It was good to come back with a win," he said. "We made a couple of mistakes in the JC game and I think they understand. Seton's been in most of its games. To beat them, 5-1, is impressive, so I was surprised by the score."
Oneonta (5-1, 5-1) plays host to Owego on Wednesday and then travels to Susquehanna Valley on Friday in a rematch of last year's sectional final that the Yellowjackets won, 3-2, in overtime. Van Pel scored the winner in that game.
Cooperstown 4, Mohawk 1
Michael Rowley and Liam Heneghan scored a minute apart in the first half, with each setting up the other, as visiting Cooperstown won a non-league game.
Heneghan sent a pass from the right side to the far post that Rowley finished from close range 12 minutes into play. Rowley returned the favor with a pass to the back post that Heneghan put away a minute later.
"After that, we did a lot of substituting," Cooperstown coach Frank Miosek said. "We were pretty sore from the South Kortright game (a 3-2 overtime victory Saturday in a first-round game of the Chic Walshe Tournament at Davenport). Everyone played 30-40 minutes."
Rowley, The Daily Star's Player of the Year in 2011, finished with two goals and one assist. Isaac Gomez also scored for the Redskins (5-1), who held a 25-7 advantage in shots.
Cooperstown travels to Clinton on Friday, when it will try to avenge its lone loss this season _ a 3-2 setback. The following day, Cooperstown will play Davenport in the final of the Chic Walshe Tournament.
Unatego 2, Walton 0
Phil Youngs scored two first-half goals to lead Unatego to a Midstate Athletic Conference win on the road.
Youngs received a throughball from Troy White down the right side before beating Walton goalie Dylan Walley on a breakaway 10 minutes into play.
Twenty minutes later, Youngs beat three defenders before scoring.
Walley had 14 saves for Walton (4-5, 3-4), which hosts Greene on Friday.
Morgan Bullis stuffed the stat sheet with six kills, four assists, four blocks and two aces to lead host Bainbridge-Guilford to a 25-21, 25-15, 25-21 Midstate Athletic Conference victory.
Alissa Rivera contributed six aces and four kills, and Cassie Safford had two aces.
"Her serves are so powerful," B-G coach Pam Tompkins said of Safford. "She probably had six serves girls couldn't return but because they touched them they're not aces."
Shannon McIntyre led Unadilla Valley with 11 aces and four assists. Teammate Haley Benson contributed five kills.
UV (3-2) hosts Delhi today. B-G (5-1) travels to unbeaten Harpursville today.
at Stamford GC
Mike Grant, Ben Standhart, Hunter Perry and Cole Fancher combined to shoot par on the par-35 Stamford Golf Club to lead Gilboa to victory in a three-team scramble.
Stamford's Kyle Dunning combined with three Gilboa golfers _ Phil Burger, Nick Vogiatzis and Mike Smith to finish second at 40.
Stamford hosts Davenport on Friday.

When Rhode Island-based but nationally read blogger Jennifer Leal of Savor the Thyme and her husband were looking for a little off-season getaway, she looked no further than Newport.
"As parents of two young children, a staycation allowed us to reconnect and focus on each other rather than household chores yet we are not far from our children," she said. "Being close to home allowed us to feel less stress while being away."
The two were happily surprised to find most all of the local restaurants open and dishing up divine meal,s and learned a little bit more about Newport's history on the Viking Tours of Newport Trolley Tour. "We highly recommend the trolley tour, a number of trips up and down Ocean Drive, and to stay at one of the charming inns," she says.
The two hopped around the City from their centrally-located base camp at Mill Street Inn and enjoyed attractions like the International Tennis Hall of Fame while taking time to savor local flavor at The Mooring, Perro Salado, the Hungry Monkey and more!
Read all about Jennifer's adventures in the City-by-the-Sea on Savor the Thyme, which focuses on family-friendly, healthy food and lifestyle. "I love to share and show how one can feed their family in a healthy way that can also be easy, fun, silly, and magical," she says. "Be sure to stop by Savor the Thyme every day if you like to eat yummy, healthy food and giggle every day."

Before the term "buzz" achieved liberal usage, Asterisk already had it. French sophistication mixed with a smart Manhattan vibe, the uber-trendy lower Thames Street bar and bistro was among the first to introduce Newport to the astonishing concept of mixing espresso and vodka to create the liquid artistry known as the espresso martini. Fans flocked to Asterisk to sip, see and be seen.
But a lot has changed since 1996 when Danish-born chef/owner John Bach-Sorensen opened the restaurant in a renovated garage. Recent years have seen increasing competition in Newport from cocktail savvy players like The Fifth Element and Fluke. Others like Tallulah on Thames and the new tsk took up the farm to table charge.
So it's good to see that Bach-Sorensen and his wife Tracy have made some changes to the place over the winter. The dark burgundy walls have been painted a light beige and black and white patterned pillows propped on the banquettes add visual interest and back support. The subtle decor includes new cream-colored light fixtures and upholstery; chairs have been painted white. Only the wait staff's bright orange aprons pop with color. Other changes include a new half wall to section off the open kitchen and a chef's table by the kitchen that seats 10 people.
The new neutral palette directs focus away from the decor and toward Bach-Sorensen's unfussy European cuisine as was evident during Newport Restaurant Week. Indeed the spring version of this biannual food fest couldn't have come at a better time to show off Asterisk's renovations. Before the summer season brings the crowds to the city, locals had 10 budget-friendly days to explore the menu offerings at participating restaurants, try out the newcomers and revisit more mature establishments like Asterisk.
On restaurant week's second Friday night, my husband and I made our first visit to Asterisk in we can't remember how many years to see how things are shaping up. We found all the seats at the bar and the new chef's table full. My poor husband Larry is on crutches so we chose the end of the banquette which proved unwise as we experienced an occasional draft whenever the door was opened. One of the problems with Asterisk's configuration given its former status as a garage is the lack of an entrance foyer; it's all one big dining room. Not a big deal in the summer. Kind of a problem when it's 45 degrees out.
Bach-Sorensen's restaurant week menu offered a choice between two appetizers and two main courses and a banana tarte
tatin with salted caramel ice cream for dessert. The appetizer choices were a smoked trout with asparagus and cream brie salad and a pear and prosciutto plate with Bonny Doon verjus dressing. Larry went with the pear and proscuitto, presented with the cured meat fanned out like a lovely flower, while I went with the generous pile of smoked trout cascading over grilled bread with asparagus spears meticulously sliced in half.
For the main course, we both went with the roasted nori wrapped salmon with celery mash, wasabi butter and mizuna salad over the rib eye steak option. The moist and flavorful salmon came with crispy skin and I thought the nori wrap was especially creative and added a nice salty crunch.
As for the tasty dessert, neither of us could finish it. Gourmet vanilla bean ice cream in caramel sauce topped the roasted bananas over the pastry shell, and rasberries artfully lined the rim of the plate. One banana tarte tatin to split would have been fine. But then restaurant week participants aim to please in both quality and quantity.
Asterisk certainly accomplished both these objectives, with colorful and creative dishes. Bach-Sorensen says he's planning a menu revamp to highlight simple but elegant food. A new approach in the kitchen combined with the new, lighter look will go a long way to win back old fans and invite newcomers to enjoy a satisfying dining experience at this old but still good fixture on lower Thames Street.

This past Monday, I had the wonderful opportunity to dine at Leo's Ristorante for Newport Restaurant Week. Located on historic Hope Street in Bristol, Leo's is a family style restaurant that has been a Bristol tradition since 1948. Their menu is a mix of traditional American fare, Greek, Mediterranean, seafood, vegetarian and more. Breakfast is also served on the weekends.
For my $16 prix fixe lunch I chose a salad and lobster club, which also came with dessert. The portions were large and the quality was superb. The Mixed Field Greens Salad was topped with pine nuts, sprouts and slices of avocado that added a very special touch to a starter salad.
Whenever I dine out, if a lobster roll is on the menu, that's what I order! But their Lobster Club (pictured above) was made in a way I have never tried before: with Swiss cheese and sauerkraut on rye bread. It was so delicious and so filling; served with a very generous portion of french fries.
From the desserts that were offered, I chose a very large piece of Lemon Berry Mascarpone Cake served with whipped cream and chocolate covered strawberries. Oh my! At this point I was very full, but there was no way I could pass this up! The cheese, the berries and the whipped cream were a perfect medley of delectable delight!
Needless to say, I am very happy with my restaurant choice during Newport Restaurant Week! With over 45 participating restaurants to choose from, it's a great chance try something new!

Shrimp dish pictured above from Trafford in Warren, RI, a Newport Restaurant Week participant!
We were delighted to wake up bring and early to be on The Rhode Show to share a signature Irish dish and libation to fete St. Patrick's Day this Saturday, and build the excitement for the upcoming Newport Restaurant Week, March 23-April 1, 2012. Chef Eric Steinhauer (or "O'Steinhauer," this morning!) from Fathoms at the Newport Marriott whipped up some Kinsale Irish Seafood Stew, which smelled and tasted out of this world, and The Rhode Show hosts agreed! here's how you can master this dish at home:
2 large potatoes (peeled and diced)
1 tbsp. tomato puree'
3/4 quart of stock (I use 2 cups fish stock and 2 cups chicken stock for richer flavor)
¼ c. of Jameson Irish Whiskey
a pinch of saffron strands
2 stalks of celery small dice
1/3 c. button mushrooms
3 tomatoes, cut into medium dice
1 large onion (peeled and diced)
1 1/2c. cups heavy cream
2 TBSP butter
salt and pepper to taste
3/4-1 tsp chopped thyme
2 tsp chopped parsley
1/2 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/2 lb bay scallops
1 lb. mixed fresh filets of salmon, cod, swordfish.
1. Peel and dice potatoes and put them in the stock with saffron strands and bring to a boil.
2. Heat oil in separate pan add the onions, celery and mushrooms and sauté, deglaze with Pernod and add to the potatoes in the stock. (Potatoes are ready when you can bite into them, but they are still firm.)
3. Add tomatoes, and tomato puree' to stock.
4. Add the butter, thyme and parsley to the stock.
5. Next add all of the seafood to the chowder. It should not be boiling, just simmering lightly. Simmer until seafood is almost cooked thru. You don't want to overcook the seafood.
6. Add the cream, season with salt and pepper, and just heat until the cream is heated through, don't boil.
7. Serve in warm bowls with brown bread.

We were so excited David Rutkowski, Sous Chef at the Hyatt Regency Newport's Windward Restaurant, joined The Rhode Show this morning to share one of the dishes the restaurant will be featuring during the Kinsale Festival of Fine Food, this March 8-11 (click here for details). David showed co-hosts Mary Larsen, Will Gilbert and Michaela Johnson how to imitate the Windward's Filet of Pork Wellington with Calvados Jus, an entree on their Kinsale-inspired menu designed for the festival. Below you'll find the recipe, and be sure to celebrate the Kinsale Festival of Fine Food by dining at one of the four participating restaurants (see below) or CLICK HERE. Filet of Pork Wellington with Calvados JusINGREDIENTS 1 whole egg1 tablespoon water1 ounces of whole butter3 ounces of wild mushrooms1 ounces of bread crumbs1 whole pork tenderloin, approximately 1 pound4 1/2 ounces thinly slice prosciutto 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves1 teaspoon all-purpose flour1 sheet puff pastry, thawed completely1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
STEPSPlace a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat to 400 degrees F.Whisk the egg and water in a small bowl and set aside. Place a sauté pan over medium heat. Melt butter; add mushrooms, and cook till tender. Once tender add bread crumbs and season with salt and pepper. Take mixture and pulse in a food processor to a semi loose consistency. Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin. Slice the tenderloin down the middle lengthwise, creating 2 separate pieces. Lay the tenderloin pieces next to each other head to tail, so when laid back together they are the same size at the ends.Lay out a 12 by 16-inch piece of parchment paper on the counter and arrange the pieces of prosciutto in the center, overlapping them enough to create solid layer that is as long as the tenderloin. Top with a second piece of parchment, and using a rolling pin, roll over the prosciutto to help adhere the pieces to each other.Remove the parchment paper and sprinkle the prosciutto with the salt, pepper, and thyme. Set the tenderloin down the middle of the prosciutto. Spread the mushroom mixture in between the 2 pieces of tenderloin and push back together so the mushrooms are held between them. Using the parchment paper to assist, wrap the prosciutto around the tenderloin to completely enclose in a package.Sprinkle the counter with flour and roll out the pastry to 12 by 14 inches. Spread the mustard thinly in the center of pastry and lay the prosciutto wrapped tenderloin in the center of the pastry on the mustard. Fold the puff pastry up and over the top of the tenderloin, then roll to completely enclose, brushing the edges of the pastry with the egg wash in order to seal. Turn the tenderloin over so the side of the tenderloin with the double thickness of pastry is underneath. Pinch the ends of the pastry to seal.Brush the entire pastry with the egg wash. Place the tenderloin on a parchment lined half sheet pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 140 degrees F.Remove the tenderloin from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Shema Yisrael (or Sh'ma Yisroel or just Shema) are the first two words of a section of the Torah (Hebrew Bible) that is used as a centerpiece of all morning and evening Jewish prayer services and closely echoes the monotheistic message of Judaism. It is considered the most important prayer in Judaism, and its twice-daily recitation is a mitzvah (religious commandment).
Its main content is loving the one God with all one's heart, soul and might, and the rewards that come with this.
Hamsa - An alternative Jewish name for Hamsa is the Hand of Miriam, in reference to Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron as well as the Hamesh Hand. It serves as an ancient talismanic way of averting and getting protection from the evil eye, or more generally of providing a "protecting hand" or "Hand of God".

Ex-Fleetwood Mac guitarist dies
Bob Welch, a former member of Fleetwood Mac who went on to record several hits during a solo career, has been found dead.
Police spokesman Don Aaron said Welch's wife Wendy discovered him with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his chest at their south Nashville home yesterday.
Mr Aaron said Welch (65) apparently had recent health issues. He said a suicide note was found at the scene.
Bart Herbison, executive director of the Nashville Songwriters Association, quoted Wendy Welch as saying Welch had spinal surgery three months ago, doctors told him he would not get better and he did not want her to have to care for an invalid. The couple had no children.
Welch was a guitarist and vocalist for Fleetwood Mac from 1971 to 1974.
He formed the British rock group Paris in 1976 and had hits including Sentimental Lady in 1977 and Ebony Eyes in 1978. Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham did back-up vocals on Sentimental Lady.
Fleetwood Mac's career took off in the mid-1970s after Welch left the band. Dreams was a number one hit in 1977 and Don't Stop the same year, which later became the anthem for Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. Hold Me was a hit in 1982 and Little Lies in 1987.
Welch, a native of Los Angeles, scored his biggest hit with Sentimental Lady, which reached number eight on the Billboard chart. His other singles included Precious Love in 1979 and Hot Love, Cold World in 1978.
When Fleetwood Mac was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, Welch was not included in the group.
"It basically comes down to the fact that they don't like me anymore," he told The Plain Dealer of Cleveland at the time.
"I guess they can do what they want. I could understand it if I had been a sideman for a year. But I was an integral part of that band ... I put more of myself into that band than anything else I've ever done."
Long-time Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks said Welch's death hit her hard.
"The death of Bob Welch is devastating ... I had many great times with him after Lindsey and I joined Fleetwood Mac. He was an amazing guitar player - he was funny, sweet - and he was smart. I am so very sorry for his family and for the family of Fleetwood Mac - so, so sad," she said.
Founding member Mick Fleetwood did not immediately respond to emails for comment.
Fleetwood Mac, started in 1967 by two former members of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, became an enormously popular pop-oriented group in the late 1970s. Nicks' haunting vocals and Buckingham's distinctive guitar work helped propel the band's 1976 album Rumours to multi-platinum status.
Problems with alcohol and drugs, as well as well-publicised fights between band members, led to their break-up. But money and nostalgia helped bring the band back together, leading to successful reunion tours.
As a songwriter, Welch had his songs recorded by Kenny Rogers, Sammy Hagar, the Pointer Sisters and others. In 1999 he released a CD, Bob Welch Looks At Bop, a salute to bebop music in the 1940s.
In an interview with The Tennessean in 2003, Welch said he never dreamed he would be remembered for much.
"I just wanted to play guitar in a good band," he said. "I wanted to make the music I love. I wanted to travel the world and have adventures." Welch also said "music is disposable now. It doesn't have the emotional impact anymore. That's sad".

Lupe Says He's a "Hostage"
Lupe famously clashed with his record label, Atlantic/Warner Bros. in the run-up to his 2011 album, Lasers, as explained in this interview with the Chicago Sun Times. "I am a hostage," Fiasco said. "I gave them what they wanted. If I didn't, at the end of the day the album wasn't coming out... I was specifically told, 'Don't rap too deep on this record.' That was a specific order from the top. 'You're rapping too fast or too slow, or it's too complex.' … I'm writing about me. This is my life. It's very personal for me. So for somebody to kind of put their fingers in that and play with that, it becomes more damaging."

thought good to keep in one thread:
Manning likely to test free-agent market March 4
Bears' offer of a 3-year extension during season wasn't to liking of safety-returner
Before this season the Bears vowed to "invest'' in at safety, but they never promised to break the bank in the process. Manning was a restricted free agent last offseason and staged a mini-protest before signing a one-year, $1.176 million tender. Starting free safety Chris Harris, who has one year left on his deal, made $2 million this season after a trade from the Panthers.
It's not as simple as re-signing them all. The new CBA is expected to bring with it a salary cap, which didn't exist this year. It could be lower than the nearly $128 million it was at in 2009. Graham earned $1.101 million this season. Davis was at $935,000. Wilson was the lowest of the bunch at $545,000 as the group's salary totaled more than $4.5 million. Eventually the backups who stock special teams need to be replaced with players on their rookie contracts. Balancing experience with salary will be a challenge.
Graham doesn't want to think about just special teams, either. He estimates he got less than five plays on defense as a dime back. He started nine games in 2008 and would like that chance again.

You raise some food for thought Freda. There is an "Exec Summary" but the language may be similar. I'll pass your comments along to Stuart. As for 2015, that's still pretty far off. Putting aside our wishful thinking about the opposition parties co-operating (which is the most effective way for "strategic voting" to work), we learned (or re-learned) that voters and many activists don't pay much attention until the election is called. Reaching the "critical level" is very expensive. And until all the opposition parties have leaders I think it's too early to have the strategic voting discussion that go beyond assessing what we learned with the Catch 22 campaign.
Well worth the read, but would appreciate a scaled down version with shorter sentences to make it more digestible for us simple folks. I hope the centre/left parties pay attention.
My initial reaction was to note all the apparent road blocks to party cooperation. If the push to get the parties to cooperate doesn't have any results sometime soon, maybe it would be a good idea for organizations like Catch 22, Project Democracy and Leadnow to form a united front to begin working again toward a strategic voting campaign for 2015. Maybe there just needs to be critical level of effort to reach a critical mass of voters.

WHY me, Allah? Why me?
'WHY me, Allah? Why me? Why not anyone else? Was I the only one created to suffer difficulties in this life?'
I recall getting stuck in problems a few years back. The problem was really serious, and I had transgressed this time. I felt as though I had betrayed my own family and myself. It isn't easy for anyone to go through a storm, especially when you have absolutely no one by your side.
I still can't forget those painful days! As I had no one to help me, no one to talk to me, no one to listen to me and no one to stand by my side, except my family and a few friends, but the problem was something that I had to come out of myself. I was left completely alone. I felt as though even my own shadow had left me all alone. I tried many things, literally 'many' things to prevent myself from getting drowned into this problem.
I consulted my family members and few friends of mine to help me get out of this problem, but I seemed lost in the advices I received. I actually saw no real solution for my issues. I was left helpless and in vain as nothing seemed to bring me out of the trouble and give me direction of life.
When I found nothing to help me get out of the problem that I was facing, my last and final option was to call on Allah for help. I called on Him in every prayer of mine, I called on Him late at nights, I called on Him with tears falling from my eyes, I called on Him with some hope in my heart, that He might respond to my call and I called on Him with some fear in my heart, that He might not respond to my call…
It's strange, isn't it? That we, humans, call on Allah only when the road isn't smooth. We call on Him, only when we know that we can't change the problematic situation to a normal one. We call on Him when we find that things are getting worse. We call on Him when our families and friends are unable to help us. In short, we call on Allah when we find no hope of anyone's help besides His.
As Allah says in the Quran:
"And when harm touches man, he invokes Us, lying down on his side, or sitting or standing. But when We have removed his harm from him, he passes on his way as if he had never invoked Us for a harm that touched him?" (Quran 10:12)
How true! This is exactly what we tend to do in our lives. When the storm hits us we call on Allah, and when it passes away we forget Him; acting as though the storm never really touched us and we never really called on Him for help.
But before calling on Allah for help, we first try to ask our families or friends to help us, if they're unable to, we try making thousands and thousands of plans, even if these plans don't work the way we want them to, then we are left to call only upon Allah for help. As soon as Allah helps us in overcoming the difficulty that we are facing, we become ungrateful to His blessings…
As Allah says in the Quran:
"It is He who gave you life, will cause you to die, and will again give you life: Truly man is a most ungrateful creature." (Quran 22:66)
Thoughts to ponder over
Don't just call upon Allah when you are struck with calamities, trials or crises, call upon Him every day, every hour and every minute of your life.
Stop asking or begging people for help. Instead, call on Allah & InshaAllah He'll positively respond to your call.
Make Allah your best buddy! Make a habit of asking Allah for small stuff, like when you lose a pen, or any other small stuff. In this way, InshAllah you'll develop the habit of asking only Him all the time.
Never depend on anyone for help. Depend only upon ALLAH when it comes to asking for help.
When the way is cloudy, remember that Allah is your only Guide.
Remember Allah in times of ease, so that He will remember you in times of difficulty.

"And when harm touches man, he invokes Us, lying down on his side, or sitting or standing. But when We have removed his harm from him, he passes on his way as if he had never invoked Us for a harm that touched him?" (Quran 10:12)
This describes my life!!!….but I have found that God's compassion and mercy are also boundless—for though I may forget him after trouble has passed…he is there to help the next time trouble comes around. So, I try to make it a point to thank God during times of peace…..even though life gets in the way sometimes and I forget……
