The life size Mardi Gras Mask Cookies I made the last few years never did get their own complete how-to post, let alone showing the different successful techniques that progressed from simpler to more elaborate each year I made them. So here they are, even including specific Etsy shop listings for supplies that might help you, in plenty of time to make your own for Mardi Gras on March 4th this year!
I had been making small full-face mask cookies ever since the first Mardi Gras Masquerade, but in 2009 I thought of making life size stick masks! I used one of the cheap plastic masks in my Mardi Gras decor stash as a model, made a cardboard template with eyeholes in the correct place, then used my foolproof sugar cookie recipe, using a knife to cut the dough around the cardboard template. Since these are so large, they do use a lot of dough. I was only able to get 15 masks out of my full dough batch that usually yields 5 dozen small cookies. To support themselves, the life size mask cookies need to be thick and make sure they are baked completely crisp!
I knew I could use the large pretzel rods for the sticks, but I was hoping for a more elegant look that also matched the sugar cookie dough. I tried some cookies and thin breadsticks and decided to use the breadsticks the first year. Unfortunately since Mardi Gras is during the rainy season where I live, the moisture made the sticks lose structural integrity, so the other years I used the pretzel rods since they never got soggy.
The first year I used only white royal icing thinned with corn syrup as the smooth basecoat, then used food coloring sprays on some, and had green and purple royal icing for piping designs. They were fairly simple but they were still impressive since this was the very first year anyone saw them, and it was still
fun for people to decorate their own for the Best Edible Mask contest.
Since by Mardi Gras 2010 I had bought a lot of multicolored quins, sprinkles and edible pearls for the Corset Cupcakes, I made my masks more elaborate, and had plenty of extra fun supplies for guests to decorate their own. I baked the cookies thicker and used pretzel rods this time, anchored with thick blobs of royal icing, but some cookies still broke in the middle yet again due to the damp weather. At least cookies breaking while all sorts of guests were decorating them made for some funny moments! 😉
For Mardi Gras 2011 I decided the same cat-eye mask shapes were getting boring, and I had found copper pipe strapping tape I could bend into my own cookies cutters and anchor closed with metal flashing tape. I made three masks but with separate eye-hole pair cutter that could be used with any mask.
Not only do I use multiple batches of the full foolproof sugar cookie recipe (3 eggs) since I could only get about 15 full masks from one batch, but I usually need 2-3 big batches of royal icing (3 egg whites each batch) to do the basecoats for 3 dozen plus the decorating and gluing on the sticks. I roll the dough directly on a silicone mat or parchment paper so I don't have to move the cut cookies and the intricate designs stay intact. 2 bags of large pretzel rods usually have enough unbroken sticks for 36 masks.
2011 was probably my best scheduled Mardi Gras season, probably because my costume was recycled from another skirt plus purchased items, so I really enjoyed decorating the mask cookies! I used a lot of techniques, like clear piping gel or royal icing over only a section at a time then adding glitter sugar, tapping off the excess. This is just like glue and glitter, save the excess for later use, and it will only stick in the targeted areas. Piping gel doesn't dry like royal icing does, but royal icing isn't clear, so you risk the icing color showing through. As long as the glitter sugar completely covers the piping gel, you can still stack cookies without messing any designs. By adding more piping gel or icing to only one section at a time, after the previous section was glittered, you can make fun designs like this one!
This year the basecoats were white, periwinkle (I could never get my royal icing to be a vivid royal purple by mixing my gel colors – argh!), green food sprays over white basecoat, and when I ran out of white icing, I sprayed some food color directly on the cookie which gave a soft velvety texture that was interesting. The food sprays easily make shaded areas and can combine colors on the same masks, but obviously before adding any surface details. You can get even fancier by piping intricate designs even OVER glitter sugar layers, adding edible pearls, sprinkles or quins, anything you can imagine. I really liked piping different colors for the feather barbs on the spiky masks, and I loved piping freehand curlicues and spirals as a tone-on-tone brocade texture. For the decorating contest I kept buying the small decorating tubes since they were cheap and convenient for a variety of colors, however that icing never ever dries. This is fine for the decorating contest, but trying to use them for your own decorating in advance means you will not be able to stack your cookies without them sticking together and messing up your intricate designs!
Decorating the masks before adding the sticks was easier for me since they stayed flat with no risk of any pressure from piping cracking the cookie, and you didn't have a stick in the way if you needed to hold the cookie or change angles for easier piping. Of course this means your decorations must be absolutely rock hard dry before attempting to set them face down, no buttercream or purchased decorating icing! I would not recommend the melted sugar method for the sticks that I tried for 2011, since the sugar gets gooey from ambient moisture, where the royal icing stays solid. Unfortunately the royal icing takes longer to dry, so you need enough space to let them sit not stacked on top of each other until they dry. That's also why they're in facing pairs, since the opposite cookie props up the stick to the same level as the cookie it's glued to so it keeps full contact while drying. After these are completely dry, store in airtight cookie tins, facing each other so their sticks support each other. Finding large enough cookie tins to store these can be tricky, but the rectangular holiday tins of purchased cookies from Costco have worked well, so I have quite a collection now.
Year number 4 of making mask cookies meant I needed something new again! I had always wanted to make realistic edible feathers somehow, and luckily only a couple months before Mardi Gras 2012 I had bought my edible printer for the Ghoulish Gingerbread Haunted House…voila edible feathers from wafer paper! Some of my favorite Mardi Gras masks I had purchased as decor used music score paper in the designs, and I've always loved damasks and brocades, so I printed a variety of those too. I printed a whole assortment of real feathers from game birds to ostrich plumes on rice paper to decorate the edible masks! When I was cutting them out for my own masks, I noticed even though the weather hasn't been moist this week, the feathers would curl, so I left them as whole papers for the decorating table. Wafer paper will distinegrate in too much moisture, but gluing them on with a small bit of royal icing works fine. These were very popular on the entire inside table I had dedicated to mask decorating, as you can see in the party post for Mardi Gras 2012!
Now you know all the secrets of my Mardi Gras Mask Cookies so you are ready to make your own! If you would like some Edible Feathers, you can purchase these sets below from my Etsy shop:
Decorate your edible art with realistic feathers! Photos of real feathers are printed on wafer paper, then you cut them out yourself and use them however you like! Edible quills for wizards, Mardi Gras mask cookies, fancy hat cupcakes, whatever you like!

Stimulating Healing in the Heart

A startup aims to repair heart damage with peptides that trigger the proliferation of heart cells
MIT Technology Review, April 19, 2010, by Emily Singer – While the human heart was once thought incapable of regeneration, growing evidence shows that even the adult heart can grow new cells, albeit slowly. Roger Hajjar, director of the Cardiovascular Research Center at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, in New York, and Bernhard Kuhn, a cardiologist at Children's Hospital Boston, aim to harness this regenerative ability to change how heart disease is treated. They cofounded a startup called CardioHeal, based in Brookline, MA, to develop peptide drugs that can spur growth of new heart muscle cells in the human body.
The scientists have identified a pair of peptides that can stimulate new cell growth and improve heart function in rodents induced to have heart attacks. Hajjar's lab at Mt. Sinai is now testing one of the peptides, periostin, in pigs induced to have heart attacks. Because these animals have hearts similar in size to humans, they provide a good model for testing new therapies prior to human clinical trials. Preliminary results show that injecting the peptide into the pericardium, the lining around the heart, seems to help. "They're not completely back to normal, but they're much better," says Hajjar.
Researchers hope the molecules will ultimately provide an alternative approach to treating heart disease. Currently, people who suffer a heart attack get medication, such as beta blockers, to make it easier for the heart to beat, and surgery to clear blocked arteries. "But none are directed at giving new heart muscle back after myocardial infarction," says Kuhn. The cardiologist says patients regularly ask him if the treatment is available for them, part of the reason he decided to found the company. "I've been getting patient requests for a couple of years, but we don't have an open trial or anticipate opening one anytime soon."
Cardioheal's approach is, to some degree, in competition with stem-cell therapy, which is already being tested in humans. Scientists are working on different ways of harvesting and delivering stem cells to patients with heart disease, and clinical trials have so far yielded mixed results. Transplanted cells appear to have difficulty surviving and integrating into their new environment. In fact, some scientists suggests that benefit of cell transplants comes from the cells ability to stimulate innate growth. Triggering this process with peptides "may be a simpler method of treatment of certain conditions such as cardiomyopathy [an enlarged heart] where the problem is lack of viable, contractile heart muscle cells," says Amish Raval, a cardiologist at the University of Wisconsin, in Madison, who is not involved with the company.
Cardioheal still has a number of questions to address before testing the peptides in patients. "What is the least invasive way of getting it to the patient's heart?" asks Hajjar. "At what point after heart attack would you deliver this–early, late, when a patient develops congestive heart failure?" Researchers say they haven't seen adverse effects in treated animals, but extensive safety testing needs to be done before human trials. "Tumor formation, noncardiac muscle tissue formation, causing dangerous arrhythmias needs to be systematically evaluated in animal models with broad dose ranges tested," says Ravel. "I would be interested in knowing whether the cardiac cells actually integrate with the environment in the heart, or just independently contract. There has to be electrical and mechanical integration for this treatment to work."
USDOD, April 19, 2010, by John Ohab – By modifying an ink jet printer and growing skin cells from a patient's body, an Army research lab has developed an amazing treatment for severe burns: printing new skin.
Once the patient's skin cells are in a sterile ink cartridge, a computer uses a three dimensional map of the wound to guide the printing.
"The bio-printer drops each type of cell precisely where it needs to go," explains Kyle Binder, a biomedical scientist at the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine's Wake Forest lab. "The wound gets filled in and then those cells become new skin."

Printing New Human Skin
By Christen N. McCluney
Defense Media Activity
April 19, 2010 – Researchers at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research are discovering new ways to combat and prevent the spread of malaria.
"Every conflict the U.S. has been in we've been faced with malaria," said Army Col. Christian Ockenhouse, director of the U.S. Military Malaria Vaccine Program, during an April 14 interview on the Pentagon Channel podcast "Armed with Science: Research and Applications for the Modern Military.
Malaria is a parasitic disease which infects red blood cells, Ockenhouse said. It's transmitted through the bite of a female mosquito, goes to the liver to develop, and emerges after five days into the bloodstream to cause the disease.

to the full interview or read the transcript.
Most people believe malaria is a disease of the past, but it has not disappeared, he said. In sub-Saharan Africa, 3,000 children die every day from the disease, he noted, which also can target adults, including U.S. troops serving in Afghanistan, South America and Africa.
In the military, malaria impacts readiness and missions, and measures are implemented to combat the disease, Ockenhouse said. Using insect repellant and camouflage face paint with repellent in it, wearing uniforms impregnated with insecticides and employing bed nets can help to prevent malaria.
One of the important measures to prevent the disease is taking anti-malaria pills. This pill regime is one of the most effective preventative methods, Ockenhouse said, but it has to be performed daily. "Often time soldiers forget or don't take it if they don't see any symptoms," he said.
The researchers are working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in three areas to protect servicemembers and children against malaria. First, they are developing a highly safe, highly effective vaccine. A second area is to develop better diagnostics, which would allow earlier detection and treatment of the malaria parasite in the blood. Third, they are developing new anti-malarial drugs to prevent infection and treat those that have it.
The researchers also are developing a medication for severe malaria. Ockenhouse spoke of an in-house program designed not only for early-stage research and development, but also to test new drugs against malaria in late-stage clinical trials intended for FDA approval.
The group also works overseas with laboratories located in Kenya, Thailand, Tanzania, Mali, South America and Peru.
"We are ambassadors in the countries where we work. We are there to lend assistance to their public health initiatives, which includes helping these countries test malaria vaccines, drugs and diagnostics and aiding in infrastructure and capacity development."
The researchers also have assisted in the development of the world's most advanced malaria vaccine that is being tested in 16,000 infants in 11 different countries. Preliminary studies indicate that use of the vaccine can reduce malaria by 50 percent. When licensed and made available the vaccine could save hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of children's lives, Ockenhouse said.
"We are at the forefront of many endeavors in drugs and vaccines," Ockenhouse said. "The DoD should be particularly proud that it is stepping up to the plate and leading the world's efforts on this disease."
Brain Interfaces Made of Silk

Gentler, softer electrodes wrap around the folds of the brain to take higher-resolution measurements
MIT Technology Review, April 19, 2010, by Katherine Bourzac – Doctors can put arrays of electrodes on the surface of the brain to pinpoint the source of epileptic seizures; patients can use such electrodes to control a computer cursor. But it's still not safe to leave these devices in the brain over the long term, and that's a quality that needs to be developed before researchers can develop better brain-computer interfaces.
Now a group of researchers is building biocompatible electronics on thin, flexible substrates. The group hopes to create neural interfaces that take higher-resolution measurements than what's available today without irritating or scarring brain tissue.
"Biocompatibility is a major challenge for new generations of medical implants," says Brian Litt, professor of neurology and bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. "We wanted to make devices that are ultrathin and can be inserted into the brain through small holes in the skull, and be made out of materials that are biocompatible," he says. Litt is working with researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who are building high-performance flexible electronics from silicon and other conventional materials on substrates of biodegradable, mechanically strong silk films provided by researchers at Tufts University.
This week in the journal Nature Materials, the team reports using a silk electrode device to measure electrical activity from the surface of the brain in cats. Silk is mechanically strong–that means the films can be rolled up and inserted through a small hole in the skull–yet can dissolve into harmless biomolecules over time. When it's placed on brain tissue and wetted with saline, a silk film will shrink-wrap around the surface of the brain, bringing electrodes with it into the wrinkles of the tissue. Conventional surface electrode arrays can't reach these crevices, which make up a large amount of the brain's surface area.
"A device like this would completely open up new avenues in all of neuroscience and clinical applications," says Gerwin Schalk, a researcher at the Wadsworth Center in Albany, NY, who is not affiliated with the silk electrode group. "What I foresee is placing a silk-based device all around the brain and getting a continuous image of brain function for weeks, months, or years, at high spatial and temporal resolution."
The advantage of surface electrodes over implanted ones is that they don't cause scarring, says Andrew Schwartz, professor of neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh. In 2008, Schwartz demonstrated that a monkey with an electrode in its brain can control a prosthetic arm to feed itself. "This design is even better because it has a relatively small feature size and is flexible–it could make these implants less traumatic," he says. "What would really be nice is if you could amplify the signal near where you pick it up to reduce noise, and multiplex the signal to cut down on the number of wires needed," says Schwartz.
The silk electronics researchers say this is their next step, and one of the major promises of the technology. They've already demonstrated thin, flexible silicon transistor arrays built on silk, and tested them in animals–just not in the brain yet. Schwartz says other groups have recognized the importance of multiplexing and signal amplification, but have been working with rigid circuit boards that are not as biocompatible. Adding these active components would reduce the number of wires needed in these implants, which today require one wire per sensor. And active devices could respond to brain activity to provide electrical stimuli, or release drugs. (One of the collaborators on the silk project, David Kaplan at Tufts University, has demonstrated that silk devices implanted in the brain in small animals can deliver anti-epilepsy drugs.)
Adding transistors to the electronics is currently a design challenge, says John Rogers, professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The electrode-array design his group found to be most compatible with brain tissue is a mesh–solid sheets won't wrap around brain tissue as effectively. And adding silicon transistors to the mesh is more difficult than doing so on a solid substrate. Still, says Rogers, all the major pieces are in place and just need to be integrated. With further development and testing to prove the devices are safe, says Rogers, "we hope this will be the foundation for new higher quality brain-machine interfaces."

Throughout the world there are a wide variety of diverse and fascinating cultures to discover. Travelling in these countries under your own steam on two wheels helps you to get under the skin of a country, to visit the main attractions as well as finding time to ply lesser known quiet back routes away from the crowds that allow you a glimpse of everyday life. The sight of a visitor on a bike, particularly in far flung destinations, is a curiosity to many local people and helps to break down barriers, encourage local interaction and generate an even warmer welcome.
When cycling in Cuba or cycling in Vietnam the bicycle remains an important and common form of transport, so you may be sharing the routes with local commuters who share an affinity with the bike. In European countries such as Germany, France or Italy there is a healthy respect for cycling both as a sport and pastime. A cultural cycling holiday is an active and healthy way to explore the natural beauty of a country along its customs, traditions and history.
The distances that can be travelled by bike with relative ease means that your surroundings are constantly changing. Depending on your personal level of fitness you can choose between cycle tours with grades ranging from easy to tough, combining the cultural interest with the level of exercise or challenge that suits you best.
The rest stops away from the bike add another layer of interest and could be anything from a visit to the temple complex at Angkor in when cycling in Cambodia, eating an Indian Thali lunch served on a banana leaf, wine tasting in a Slovenian vineyard or truffle tasting in Italy. Certainly when it comes to food, time spent in the saddle helps you build up a healthy appetite and appreciate the food even more. Wherever the cycle holiday is in the world, the routes are deliberately chosen to be as quiet as possible and away from local traffic.

SANATA CLARA, Cuba - The night starts with a stop by the Camilo Theater, inside the tallest building in Santa Clara, Cuba, in what's known as the Santa Clara Libre Hotel. Inside one of the rooms that used to be a movie theater, a popular cover band plays the Beatles songs– in the early years of the Cuban revolution, that such music was banned. Outside the theater, in Parque Vidal, couples dance to the merengue and salsa. The main square is packed with hundreds of people, mostly teens.

If your child is between the ages of 11 and 15 years of age and has not yet seen an orthodontist in Tampa or Brandon, FL, now is the time!
Typically, most people will have lost all of their baby teeth, and all of their permanent teeth will have erupted by age 13. Once all the permanent teeth have erupted, any orthodontic problems – such as poor bite, crooked teeth, or abnormal spacing – can be easily detected. Orthodontic problems will not correct themselves, so by this age an orthodontist's intervention is essential!
At your initial consultation, Dr.Turke will evaluate your teen for the following issues:
Should your teen require orthodontic treatment, Dr.Turke will devise a treatment plan in his or her best interest. He uses the latest in orthodontic technology to treat your teen, including metal braces, clear braces, or Invisalign Teen. Ask Dr.Turke which is the best type of braces or orthodontics for your child's new smile!

Hi, I'm Jennifer and I'm keeping the blog warm over here today. Usually,you can find me at Toast on the Ceiling or contributing for BlissfullyDomestic.
When Christine said she needed guest bloggers to help out while she moved, I jumped on it. I'm totally thrilled she picked me. When she said I could write about anything I wanted, I knew I had a story to share (and hope her move does not end this way).
I'm talking about our move to the house we live in now.
Back in May, 2001 it was James and I. No kids, no pets (this was a blessing with everything that happened). We loved the townhouse we lived in, but no one wanted to visit us, it was at least a 30 minute drive. Add to that a condo association that thought they were God and wacky neighbors (one guy washed his car in the garage), we did what everyone else was doing.
We decided to move. Back to my hometown.
After we found the best house (it isn't perfect), we had to list our house. We thought it was a blessing we had "sold" it in a week and we would move in a little over a month.
The first couple weeks after it sold was no problem. We packed, cleaned and got things in order.
The next couple weeks turned into a nightmare. Thankfully, we had a lawyer. The people who were to buy the townhouse had some problems with their credit. The loan looked like it wasn't going to be approved. The closing was on, the closing was off.
Every day brought different news.
Finally we got to the day before the closing and I had left work early to come home and finish packing. There was a call from our lawyer. Basically, it looked like the closing was off, the financing would not go through for the buyers, but come anyway to the closing. So I cancelled the movers and we packed some more, but didn't think this was going to work.
Which meant we would lose the new house and we were staying with the crazy neighbors and the condo board from hell. The day of closing we got up, cleaned and went to the title company. We met our lawyer, signed what we could without the buyers, and sat in a conference room for 45 minutes before the buyers showed up with their lawyer. The loan had been a go at the last minute, with changed terms. Half a page into the loan paperwork, the husband was arguing with the lawyer.
We were shooed out of the conference room to wait in a cubicle while the husband's lawyer argued with the loan company. We had to hunt down movers from the phone book since it looked to be a go. After several phone calls, we found someone who would charge 4x as much as we budgeted, but they could be there. We were supposed to be out of the house already and the buyers were not happy we were still there.
Finally, after half an hour, the husband had releneted and would take the loan. We were called back into the room and they went over the terms with the husband. 11.5% interest, pre-payment penalty, the list went on of restrictions and penalties. I sat at the table thinking any second the deal would be bust. The husband signed paper after paper, not the wife.
Finally, they got to a document the wife had to sign stating she understood the financial implications of not being on the title. She flatly refused. For religious reasons. So, add another 10 minutes while two lawyers tried to convince her to sign the paper. I think she finally did, but it was like pulling teeth.
Then there was the issue we were not out of the house which was totally the buyers fault. We had to give them a $1000 check guaranteeing we would be out by 9pm (which was sent back uncashed a week later). We said no problem, all was done. After almost three hours.
James and I ran out of there to get home. Well, James went home to meet my dad to finish on the packing and I had to go to the insurance company to finish the policy for the new home (which was to closed on the same day, but moved to two days later due to insurance problem with the roof of new house). Got back home to deal with the movers. They sent nine guys to our house tomove. Nine guys who had no clue or common sense. One guy tried to move the gas dryer without disconnecting it. Another dumped James' entire StarWars figure collection out of their pre-packed boxes into a wardrobe box and packed stuff on top of it. And the fun went on.
We shoved anything worth something into three cars and tried to keep the movers from packing essential items. Like my bag of clothes for the next few days. James wasn't so lucky. Before he could stop the movers, all his stuff was on the truck. We were out of the house at 7 pm. Had started at 2:30. Not too bad.
James waited for the new owners to come and get the keys. My dad and I drove back to my parent's house to unload some of the stuff since we would be staying in a hotel for a couple days. Which turned into a week, since the moving company forgot to schedule us to get the items out of storage and moved to the new house. And then stole all of James' tools and a step ladder.
This is why I will never move again.
I hope Christine's is going much better than this.

Common running injuries include hip pain, achilles tendonitis, shinsplints, knee pain, blisters, plantar fasciitis and calf strains. Tight IT bands, runners knee and tendonitis can all cause problems and stop you running if not treated early.

Like a bird flies, rising hi above the trees
it's about time to let your love run away with me,
but bring your heart.
Every body wants me to be what they want me to be.
Said it feels so good to have somebody who loves me for me.
Said I am empty no more, love is hitting me right to the core,
here to let you know I'm feeling you for sure,
sugar don't fret (don't do it, no).
If there's a problem baby, I'll go out my way to try to fix it.
Whenever you leave to go to work by, it's your love that I'll be missing.
The kids to school fix your food

Arguing With God
"Then the Lord opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way. . . ". - Numbers 22:31
Balaam, essentially a prophet for hire, was on his way to do something that was against the will of God.
As he was riding his donkey to do what God had told him not to do, an angel of the Lord, holding a sword, intervened. Balaam didn't see the angel, but his donkey did, and she refused to go past the angel.
Here is an amazing thing: the Lord opened the donkey's mouth so she could speak. But what is more amazing to me is that Balaam responded and began arguing with the animal! I think the donkey was winning the argument, by the way.
Meanwhile, the angel was still standing there, blocking Balaam's path. Then the Lord opened Balaam's eyes, and what did he see but an angel of the Lord, standing in the road with sword drawn. Balaam fell flat on his face. Now he was ready to listen. Now he was willing to pay attention to the leading of the Lord.
We don't often realize it, and we don't have our eyes opened to see them, but angels of the Lord are around us to guide us, protect us, and to block our path when we are trying to go against the will of God.
We shouldn't argue when we should be paying attention to our Lord.

SFJAZZ founder Randall Kline announced the Season One lineup for the company's new center last week, exciting jazz fans for the grand opening in January 2013.
"After 30 years of presenting music in a variety of rented venues throughout the Bay, it is with great joy that we announce our first season in our new home, the SFJAZZ Center," wrote Kline in a release.
After raising $55 million from donors, the 30-year-old organization broke ground on a revolutionary new center last year. The concert hall will open its doors on the corner of Franklin and Fell Streets next Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 21, 2013).
The 35,000-square-foot center will accomodate up to 700 seated guests and will offer a state-of-the-art listening experience thanks to acoustician Sam Berkow and award-winning architect Mark Cavagnero.
"The Center is the first free-standing building for jazz in the country, designed, from concept to concert hall, to create an enhanced setting for creating and experiencing what the esteemed jazz writer Whitney Balliett calls 'the sound of surprise,'" said Kline.
Check out the full Season One lineup on the SFJAZZ website, and see a few special highlights in our slideshow below:

The sale is expected to result in a one-time after-tax gain of about $30 million in the third quarter.
National Intergroup said the rolling division contributed about $15.2 million in profit on sales of $204.6 million to National Aluminum in the 1989 fiscal year. National Intergroup's chairman, Howard M. Love, said selling off National Aluminum by divisions was better than selling it whole. He said National Intergroup was ''continuing to explore its options'' for National Aluminum's extrusion division in Anniston, Ala., and its 55 percent owned primary smelter in Hawesville, Ky.Continue reading the main story

A DuPage County judge today ordered a complete mental health exam for a Countryside man accused of fatally shooting three members of a family in their Darien home in March.
Judge John Kinsella ordered that Jacob Nodarse be examined for both his sanity and his fitness for trial.
Assistant State's Attorney Joseph Ruggerio and defense attorney Randy Rueckert both said there is a "bona fide doubt" as to Nodarse's fitness for trial and agreed that the mental health exam should be expanded to include the issue of his sanity. Neither would elaborate on their reasons for asking for the exam.
Nodarse, 23, is charged with murdering members of the Kramer family at the direction of Johnny Borizov, the ex-boyfriend of Angela Kramer and the mother of his child.

Warwick Build

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
My First build!
Speed Steal warwick depends on attack speed and his items. Mandreds bloodrazor is one of the most important items to get for warwick due to its passive. This combined with the effect of last whisper, wits end and black cleaver warwick should be unstoppable. The reason for no ghost is that his blood scent ability will be your ghost combined with boots of mobility warwick will be sure to catch up on champions, thus rendering their ghost useless!
Blood thrister is only if the game is still going on, with it you should be able to take 2-3 champions all by yourself and also able to solo baron!
I also tend to lane with warwick and jungle til later levels if i really need money for an item that is very much needed.
Warwick works extremely well with an disable team (stuns), and should lane with an disabler.

Southern Wesleyan Hires Thompson As New Head Tennis Coach
Southern Wesleyan is excited to announce the hiring of Nathan Thompson as the new head men's and women's tennis coach for the Warriors.
"Warriors athletics is pleased to announce that Mr. Nathan Thompson will be joining our staff as the second head coach of men's and women's tennis and the first fulltime coach in our history for these programs," said Director of Athletics Chris Williams. "Coach Thompson's playing experience at the D1 level along with his five years on the professional tennis tour is really impressive; however, SWU is really impressed and excited that Coach Thompson lives his life for Christ and desires to impact students' lives through the sport of tennis. SWU and Warrior Athletics is so excited to have Coach Thompson joining our team!"
Thompson played tennis for Clemson University from 2001 to 2005 where he received several prestigious awards including All-ACC First Team and ACC Tennis Player of the Year during his senior season. Upon his graduation, Thompson played professional tennis with the Association of Tennis Professionals from 2005 to 2010. He won seven international championship titles in singles matches and eight in doubles competition. His success ranked him within the top 30 professional tennis players in the United States.
After his season as a professional tennis player concluded, Thompson became a travel coach and senior professional for the Junior Tennis Champions Center (JTCC). There he helped to coach and mentor players like Francis Tiafoe, who was at the time ranked the number one junior player in the world. His coaching expertise allowed several players to obtain Division I scholarships. While a coach, he also coordinated and facilitated outreach clinics to bring and promote tennis to many inner-city schools in Maryland.
"I am very excited to join the Southern Wesleyan family!" said Thompson. "This job is a terrific opportunity, and I look forward to the challenge of leading this program. My mission is to build these student athletes up in faith, academics, and in Tennis. I would like to thank president Dr. Todd Voss, Vice president of Student Affairs Dr. Joe Brockinton, and Athletic Director Chris Williams for showing confidence in my abilities and giving me the opportunity to lead Southern Wesleyan Men's and Women's Tennis."
Thompson his wife reside in Pendleton. He will join the team Dec. 1 as they prepare for the 2018 spring season.

2018 Consumers Survey:
Updated 08/15/2018
CLA Weight Loss Guide
Which Maximum Strength CLA Supplement Actually Works?
CLA is definitely the buzzword in weight management these days. Ever since a certain television doctor marked it as "the miracle weight loss pill" its popularity has been rising and rising. After our initial survey, we found an overwhelming amount of positive reviews from CLA users all over the country. Surprisingly, this pill seems to work.
But First, What Is CLA?CLA, which stands for "conjugated linoleic acid," is a naturally occurring trans-fatty acid that is made from the omega-6 class of essential fatty acids. This compound is typically found in meat and dairy products, but can also be extracted from natural plant sources, such as safflower oil.
- Studies have shown that CLA can reduce fat mass, while increasing lean body mass. In its extracted supplemental form, CLA can increase your metabolic rate, encourage muscle growth, help with weight management, and decrease your appetite.
Unfortunately, the rising popularity of CLA is a breeding ground for companies who want to prey upon people's desire to lose weight. They advertise supplements with claims that have not been verified or tested by a reputable independent organization, and even worse, some companies will offer a "free trial" (pay only S&H) for your first bottle, and then continue to charge your credit card month after month without your authorization.
With so many different companies and so many offers, we decided to step in and perform a comprehensive review, and share our findings here:
3 Vital Properties of a Quality CLA Supplement:
- Potent Ingredients
An effective CLA supplement should contain at least 3000 mg per serving for substantial body fat reduction, according to clinical studies.1
- Independent Testing:
This is crucial for an unbiased evaluation of the product's effectiveness. Often times you will see certain brands making outlandish claims that are unsupported. Most of these brands didn't even make it past our initial survey because they had no third-party testing to score their product's potency claim.
- Customer Satisfaction
This is an excellent way to check the brand's overall credibility. We surveyed thousands of customer reviews across the major online marketplaces to see which companies have the best feedback on their products, and to make sure the supplement actually works.
3 Warning Signs Of An Inferior CLA Supplement
Contains Cheap Fillers:avoid harmful artificial colors, flavors, and additives, such as glycerin, gelatin capsules, caramel, assorted oils, and carrageenan. These can all cause unhealthy side effects.
Disreputable CompanyIf the CLA you find isn't backed by a reputable seller with positive reviews, you should avoid purchasing from that company. It just wants to make a quick profit and most likely doesn't care about providing you with a quality product.
Poor Money-Back Guarantee:Be cautious of companies that hide their a guarantee details in their "Terms and Conditions" making it extremely difficult to receive your money back, if at all. Unfortunately, this was the case with most companies we surveyed.
The Results Are In...
After surveying over 10,000 user reviews and then being subjected to our own rigorous survey, only a handful of brands made it to the top of our list. Users reported positive results—significant weight loss—and the companies selling these products are established, reputable, and have excellent return policies and customer service.
Our top picks below, are updated every month based on the above testing and criteria:
The Top Three CLA Supplements

#1: Essential Elements Maximum Strength CLA
Essential Elements came in first place, and it's not hard to see why. Clinical studies have shown that an average CLA serving size of 3000 mg is recommended to achieve proper weight loss results.1 Their maximum strength CLA supplement contains optimal potency, top-notch purity, and a 100% all-natural formula with no artificial ingredients whatsoever. With an 80% concentration of plant-derived CLA, Essential Elements wins our #1 top spot.See Our Complete Review > > Buy Now > >

#2: GNC Total Lean ®
While Total Lean ® has a respectable and strong 2000 mg per serving formula this isn't the daily recommended amount of 3000 mg. While there weren't many reviews, when there were, customers complained of ineffectiveness. GNC's 30-day guarantee doesn't really offer a chance to truly try the product, and it doesn't compete with much longer guarantees.See Our Complete Review > > Order Now > >
#3: Ab Cuts CLA Belly Fat Formula
Ab Cuts CLA Belly Fat Formula Softgel has a strong 2000 mg formula (but it is not the strongest dose we've seen, nor the 3000 mg daily amount proven successful through clinical trials). Although the CLA dosage was lower, we did like the fact that this product contains no fillers or artificial ingredients. However, Ab Cuts reached only a 3.8 out of 5 stars review rating on Amazon for customer satisfaction.See Our Complete Review > > Order Now > >

Please see below for a list of Weber's most frequently asked questions. We hope that you find this information helpful.
How thick does the insulation board need to be?
Boards are available in thicknesses from 40mm - 200mm, in 10mm increments. The thickness of board is determined by the U-value required. We can work this out for you, please contact Weber for more information on 08703 330070 or email technical(at)netweberco.uk->
What will the U-value be?
Weber can work out the U-value and condensation risk for you based on the whole wall build up. You can find a generic U-value calculation table in the EWI Refurbishment Guide but a full analysis is recommended. Please contact Weber for more information on 08703 330070 or email technical(at)netweberco.uk->
Can I insulate timber frame externally?
No. Timber frame requires a ventilated and drained cavity and therefore any external insulation is giving no thermal benefit.
How many fixings do I need?
The number of fixings depends on the substrate and the fixing methodolgy of the chosen system. See relevant specification sheet.->
How deep do the fixings need to go in?
The depth of the fixings is dependant on the substrate and the required pull out load. Contact our technical services department for advice quoting the project name and address, call 08703 330070 or email technical(at)netweberco.uk->
Can EWI systems be repaired?
Yes - please consult your Operating & Maintenance manual.->
How do I fix components such as a rain water pipe or signs to an EWI system?
Any fixings must be anchored back to the substrate, not the applied EWI system. Care should be taken not to compress the system and with this in mind, percussive drilling should not be used. Mastic seals should be applied so as to avoid water ingress, these should then be checked periodically to ensure the efficacy of the seal.->
What colours are available?
Please view all colour cards here.->
What type of insulation is incorporated in the system?
There are various types of insulation: webertherm EPS (expanded polystyrene) webertherm MFD (mineral wool) webertherm PHS (phenolic) and webertherm PIR (polyisocyanurate).->
What finishes are available?
You can choose from scraped texture, spray roughcast textured, light ashlar finish, synthetic finish, dry dash aggregate, brick effect or authentic brick slips.->
What temperatures can I apply the materials in?
Generally, cement based materials can be applied between 5°C and 35°C. Freshly applied materials should be protected from excessive temperature (either very low or very high), direct rain and rapid drying conditions. Common to all cementitious materials, inclement weather or long periods of dampness will encourage the phenomenon of efflorescence (commonly know as lime bloom).
