Most athletes pick a number all the way back in youth league and stick to it forever. Never to be changed again. Even some NFL players have been reported as paying other teammates to gain their number from a current teammate. It gets that serious, believe me, as a former athlete myself, the number 11 was pretty near and dear to my heart. Even Big Sean thinks the 88's are eternal.
But let's get into the story, here's a visual history of greats who changed their jersey numbers and why!
1. Michael Jordan
"As fate would have it, Jay's status appears to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye. When I come back like Jordan wearing the 4-5, it ain't to play games with you."
One of my favorite athletes ever, MJ. As many of you basketball lovers know, he retired from the game of basketball in 1995. Only to land with the Chicago White Sox and his first love of baseball. In his stent with the Sox, Jordan ended up wearing the number 45. Most people don't know the original story on why though. Michael dawned the number 45 all the way back at Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. All up until the year he got on the varsity team with his older brother Larry, who wore 45 at the time for the Bucs. And anyone with an older sibling knows that you don't win wars against them, so Michael ended up switching numbers. Jordan did the math, what's a number halfway to 45? 22.5? Let's round up to 23 and there you have it.
MJ ended up coming back the NBA for the 1995-1996 season, only to win the championship. And then again in 1997 and 1998. Jordan initially rocked the 45 jersey in his first year back because of a special reason after his father's death. "When I came back, I didn't want to play in the last number that my father had seen me wear," Jordan wrote in his For the Love of the Game book. Jordan would soon change his jersey back to 23 after Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals against the Orlando Magic.
2. Kobe Bryant
I actually hated Kobe Bryant for the majority of his career. Back when he wore 8 I used to love watching him fail against the Spurs and the Suns. Back when Steve Nash was copping back-to-back MVP awards. But I'd have to say my respect and admiration for him changed as he went bald and switched to the new 24. It was like he wasn't immortal after all. Then I heard the rumor on why he changed it:
When Kobe Bryant came into the league, he couldn't cop 33 because it had just been retired by the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and 24 was taken by a current teammate on the Lakers squad so he landed on 8.
You can believe the rumor on him wanting to "1 up Jordan". MJ obviously wearing 23 and Kobe with 24, but it's a little deeper than that. Kobe Bryant had a similar high school story to Jordan, as he wore 24 in high school before switching to 33 his senior year. Kobe noticeably switched numbers soon after Shaq left the Los Angeles Lakers in 2004. Maybe Kobe wanted a fresh start?
A new season without Shaq was a new beginning and a new opportunity for a new jersey. But the question is, which jersey did he perform better in? Is it the 81-point performance? The 3-peat? Or the transcending Olympic gold medal wins in 2008 and 2012 respectively. Or his one and only MVP award?
I'd say they both need to be retired. Shouts to you g, La La land will miss you.
3. LeBron James
Do you remember where you were when LeBron made "The Decision?" , I do. It was actually the night before my birthday. I was back home in Charlotte, North Carolina and me and my brother and his friends were in the back room. I was on the floor, everybody else was on the couch, then he told the world he was taking his talents to South Beach.
Which was all good to me of course. And anybody else who wasn't from Cleveland. But as the Cavs lost their once-in-a-lifetime superstar talent, LeBron also lost his jersey number he coveted for so long. Switching from 23 to 6 out of respect for Michael Jordan.
"I feel like no NBA player should wear 23. I'm starting a petition and I've got everyone in the NBA to sign it." James said. "Now, if I'm not going to wear No. 23, then nobody else should be able to wear it."
Obviously times have changed and just like the all-mighty Michael Jordan did, LeBron switched his number back to 23 in his return from South Beach to Cleveland. And I don't blame him, it's something about that damn number and those two!
Keep striving on King James! Cleveland in 7!
Here's to more wins and less sin…

Our wedding in InstagramsMonday, June 24, 2013
Happy Monday! I am so excited to finally share a glimpse of our wedding here! These photos were all taken by guests and posted on Instagram during and after our wedding. The week before our wedding my sister kept trying to convince me that we needed to have a wedding hashtag for our guests to use. I laughed at the idea. I had heard of wedding hashtags, but since I didn't Instagram at the moment I really wasn't that concerned about it. My sister and a few friends started throwing around hashtag ideas and came up with our unofficial hashtag. I keep calling it that but, honestly, I don't know what makes a hashtag official or not. We never did tell all of our guests, but somehow the word spread and we ended up with a beautiful collection of our wedding photos under the hashtag #cubanspicedwedding. The hashtag is a play on words with Mark's family's heritage and my maiden name. Even though I scoffed at the idea at first, I have to say, I'm so glad those silly girls came up with this hashtag. Mark and I spent our train ride to NYC browsing through Instagrams of our wedding. Weeks after the wedding, guests were still sharing awesome #cubanspicedwedding photos.
^^My great-uncle married us. We had no luck in our search for a wedding officiant and ultimately decided to have someone who was very special to us do the deed. Legally speaking, we were already married since we had signed the marriage license before the actual wedding, but our ceremony on May 25th will the moment in my mind when Mark and I tied the knot. It was so special and heartfelt and even though I was freezing in the shade of those massive trees, it was absolutely perfect. ^^
^^ My brother and our little ring man had met before, but the wedding was really the first time these two stinkers had spent any time together and boy did they hit it off. Talk about double trouble.^^
^^Because of transporting issues, the cake didn't get decorated until right before the wedding when Mark & I were taking our pictures together, so I didn't get to see this beautiful creation until we arrived at our reception. It tasted just as delicious as it looks!^^
^^My sister snapped this photo of us with our adorable ring man just moments before we walked down the aisle. We, along with our families, were all hiding behind a huge boxwood hedge, waiting for our cue to walk down the aisle. Having moments like that made me so happy that we decided to see each other before the ceremony. We got to experience all the excitement of our wedding day together.^^
Our wedding day was one of the fastest days of my life, but I love all the little moments that stick out in my mind. There were so many special, hilarious, and unplanned moments that I love reliving through our photos. A lot of these aren't the best quality, but they hold amazing memories and that's what makes them special.
By the way, since the wedding I have joined the Instagram club. You can follow me at @whit_torres.

Because of the complexity and verbosity of Java, "Java tooling" has always implied the use of truly Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) like Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA: extensive code completion, refactoring, class hierarchy visualization, and other features aren't just niceties, they are hard requirements for most Java programmers. In contrast, dynamic programming languages (including Python and Ruby) generally demand only a capable text editor and a command prompt. Most Clojure programmers hew closer to the latter model,[313] with one key difference: while a capable text editor is a must, having access to a Clojure REPL—preferably well-integrated into one's editor and other facilities—is at least as important, if not more so.
Thankfully, accomplishing this is a straightforward task, and so reasonable Clojure support is available for a variety of popular editors (like Emacs, vim, TextMate, jEdit, and so on) as well as IDEs (like Eclipse, Intellij IDEA, and NetBeans). Getting started with any of these options is fairly easy;[314] all other things being equal, we recommend using the tools you're already most comfortable with and that fit best into your existing style and workflow.[315] To give you some starting point for comparison, we'll briefly give an overview of the Clojure support provided by the two most popular tools used in the community that each represent orthogonal approaches to Clojure tooling (and tooling in general, perhaps): Eclipse and Emacs.

The main attraction in Pisa, Italy, is no longer Europe's only iconic leaning tower.
London's Big Ben is one and a half feet off perpendicular, according to a recent study, and getting worse every year. The tower is now tilting enough to be seen with the naked eye.
The problem is due to work done on Ben's base back in the 19th century. And engineers say that it's causing walls to crack inside the House of Commons.
While the most significant finding in the study was that the rate of the tower's tipping has increased since 2003, officials needn't worry about it toppling onto the streets of London anytime soon. If it continues at this pace, it'll take roughly four millennia to be as crooked as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, according to The Telegraph.

In a close battle for title with fantastic young irish Blessing Awodibu; the Finnish star Mika Sihvonen won the IFBB World Ranking Elite and made history, winning the first edition of this Circuit that has raised the amateur Bodybuilding to a new level, beside the main check valued in 15.000 euros.
Mika Sihvonen, who has been undefeated in Finland since his second competition and one of the most awarded athletes in Europe, won several titles during the year (as the Diamond Cup Portugal and Ben Weider Legacy Cup Lahti), reaching a total of 28 points. With his barely 80 kg, his main challenger has been the huge Blessing Awodibu (106 kg) who took in his hand to be the winner but, placing 2nd. in the World Championships, only reached 12 points; scoring a total of 26 points, not enough to defeat Sihvonen.
For 2018, both competitors could offer a new great battle, either in the World Ranking or in the Elite Pro Circuit as, for the moment, no one of them confirmed where they will continue with his sport careers.
1) Mika Sihvonen (Finland) 28 points 15.000 €
2) Blessing Awodibu (Ireland) 26 points 9.000 €
3) Dorj Gansukh (Mongolia) 23 points 5.000 €
4) Mahdi Heydari (Iran) 21 points 4.000 €
5) Mohsen Samadi (Iran) 21 points 3.000 €
6) Volodymyr Byruk (Ukraine) 21 points 2.500 €
7) Ben Abdellah A. (Algeria) 21 points 2.000 €
8) Zoheir Mihoubi (Algeria) 21 points 1.500 €
9) Usman Bathily (Spain) 18 points 1.000 €
10) Reza Rezaei (Iran) 18 points 750 €

Hillary's staff selected which emails to turn over to the State Department for preservation using a series of search terms. Any email that didn't match those terms was considered private. No person reviewed the emails to insure their contents were indeed private before they were deleted.
The NY Times reported last week that Hillary's team "reviewed tens of thousands of pages of her personal emails and decided which ones to turn over to the State Department." The process her team used to select those emails was unknown until now. Time magazine's cover story this week goes a bit farther in explaining how it was done.
For more than a year after she left office in 2013, she did not transfer work-related email from her private account to the State Department. She commissioned a review of the 62,320 messages in her account only after the department–spurred by the congressional investigation–asked her to do so. And this review did not involve opening and reading each email; instead, Clinton's lawyers created a list of names and keywords related to her work and searched for those. Slightly more than half the total cache–31,830 emails–did not contain any of the search terms, according to Clinton's staff, so they were deemed to be "private, personal records."
As Time suggests, this process seems "haphazard at best. ""I would question why lawyers for Secretary Clinton would use keyword searching, a method known to be fraught with limitations, to determine which of the emails with a non-.gov address pertained to government business," a former lawyer for the National Archives tells Time.
Given how this was done, it appears there is no one, not Hillary and not anyone on her staff, who can vouch for the private nature of all of the 31,830 deleted emails.

How much do you know about tax as an artist?
- February 07, 2015
- Art, Film
- 0 Comments
Yesterday I attended a course called "INCOME TAX FOR ARTIST" at LIAISON OF INDEPENDENT FILMMAKERS OF TORONTO(LIFT).
I really appreciated the instructor because instead of giving us a bunch of numbers, she taught us what is it means to be an artist. I'd love to share some of the information here. Before asking this question "How much do you know about tax as an artist?" You have to ask yourself another question first: "Am I willing to work as an independent artist/filmmaker?" Working as an artist is not just about creating; it is also about bookkeeping, selling and managing. Does this sound scary?
As a filmmaker, I once saw an article written by a famous director about what it means to be a filmmaker. As I recall, he described a director as being a psychoanalyst + hypnotist + poet+ magician + painter + dance choreographer and more. Now I'd like to add some other roles if you are a self employed filmmaker. Think about how many days you are actually shooting a film? Most of the time you are a producer and manager. You have to write your own proposal, talking with each client or distributors, or people who want to support your ideas. You have to learn how to write a grant, and then you wait for the money and spend all of it on your project.
Most importantly you have to make sure you use the money properly so that you won't lose any money after each project. Yes, it is not easy. And I always feel like I need more time than 24 hours a day, plus a super intelligent brain. However, at the end, you will know if it is worth it once you see the final project. I do at least, and I am always very excited to look forward to a new idea and the next project. It is all about self-feeding and everyone is different. Find what you are really good at and find a way to work by using those skills. You will be happy!
Now let's talk about something practical about tax. What I learned is that as a self-employed filmmaker I need to keep track of every penny I spend and every penny that I earn. The most important thing is to Keep All The Receipts! At the end of each day, put all the receipts in a pretty folder or bag that will make you happy to look at. Another really important fact is that you can write off many things as a self-employed artist. For example, if you work at home, you can write off half of the rent or even more. If you are a filmmaker, you can write off your equipment or rental fee or even some of your phone bills. To sum it up, ask yourself "what are the things you only do because of your business"? Then, when you are calculating the real cost of your business, make it reasonable. I am sure there are many things to research and experience as a self-employed artist, and progress is often tough. I am sure the more you know about yourself and your career, the better and easier it will become in the end. I hope I can provide more information in the future for all artists and filmmakers who work for what they love to do!

Coulter Calls It
Tuesday, 13 February 2018
I MADE the long journey to Roscommon on Sunday to watch Down record a fantastic victory over a much fancied Roscommon team.
The Rossies were big favourites to take full points after a good start to their Division Two League campaign but Down had other thoughts and came away with a deserved win.
Down dominated early proceedings and raced into a five point lead with some great scores from Donal O'Hare and Caolan Mooney.
The Down midfield dominated throughout the match with the platform to set up plenty of attack's and up front Donal O Hare was brilliant and hopefully that will kick-start his season.
In defence Down never really looked troubled throughout the game and with 20 minutes to go you could sense that the boys were very comfortable in seeing out the game as Roscommon just had run out of ideas and hardly even threatened the Down goal in the last ten minutes.
Kevin McStay will be extremely disappointing with how his team performed and complacency seemed to creep into the heads of some of his players which in itself is a very dangerous place to be.
Down will be absolutely delighted to come away with the two points after last weeks defeat to Cork. Down and some great performances and were full value for their five point win, which now sets them up nicely for a pursuit on trying to gain promotion to Division One and where every team wants to be.
Down should now take a lot of confidence going into the Clare game in Newry in two weeks time and really should now be looking ahead at gaining that promotion that we the supporters want to see.
Armagh had to work right to the final whistle to claim a late one point win over a dogged Longford side and Kieran McGeeney will be delighted with the two points but he would not be happy with the performance.
I expected Armagh to win this game quite easily but it wasn't to be but the main thing is the two points and they now look odds on to gain that promotion that is long overdue.
With three wins if the better teams now played you would expect that Armagh could go up with a defeat or two at this stage and the only team from here that has any hope of taking any points of them would be Fermanagh.
The National League is a brilliant competition with some brilliant matches on show. I would love the GAA to make it into three divisions with 11 teams in each and playing games every week and the finals on the twelfth week, which means the league could be run off in 12 weeks and that would set teams up nicely for the championship.

Neoregelia 'Wild Dynamo"Out of Stock
A unique new hybrid for 2016 by Chester Skotak is a cultivar of [(carolinae variegated x Hannibal Lecter) x Tiger Cub] x Tunisia. A small to medium growing plant. The plant's color is unique compared to other Neoregelias. The green leaves have cream-colored margins and variegation. A heavy veneer of magenta obscures the green and covers most of the leaves. The shape is full and compact, very nice, and this plant is a new favorite of ours!

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard a thirsty individual mention that they are going to hydrate with a soda. It gives me the same chills as fingernails on a chalk board. Are you kidding me? Do you really think pumping your body full of liquid sugar is going to quench your thirst? But whatever, it's your body and you can put whatever inside it that suits your fancy.
Did you know: 80% of Americans are chronically dehydrated*
On average, a human being can last several weeks without food, and a mere 8-14 days without water. With water playing such a crucial role in our body's functioning, why don't we make it a point to maintain a healthy level of hydration?
I get it, water is boring. That's no excuse not to drink it. Get creative. Add fun flavors such as:
- Fresh Cut Cucumbers
- Fragrant Orange Slices
- Refreshing Mint and Lime Juice
- Squeeze of Lemon Juice
Are you someone who loves the carbonation from a beverage? Try drinking LaCroix flavored sparkling waters. To make your money go a little further, purchase a soda stream. Carbonate your own water at home, and you can add splash of OJ or Cranberry juice to it which will give it pizzazz.
Water Facts and Tips:
- Moistens tissues in the body ie) mouth, nose, eyes
- Drink even when you're not thirsty. An average person loses about 90 ounces of water daily.
- Beverages containing alcohol and caffeine create an unquenchable thirst in the body. Only water truly hydrates the body and alleviates the diseases of dehydration.
- Don't misinterpret your thirst drive as hunger. Drink a glass of water and wait a minute or two. You might find you're not as hungry as you thought.
- If you don't drink enough water, your body's reaction is to retain the water it does have. This leads to poor kidney function and the accumulation of waste products.
- Proper hydration is key to long-term fat reduction.
- Helps to maintain proper muscle tone and prevents sagging skin.
- Drink 4x as much water as you consume in alcohol to help reduce the effects of a hangovers.
- A deficiency of water can alter the concentration of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and chloride which has a negative effect on the function of the brain.
- It's cheap; nearly free, and good for you.
- Dehydration reduces blood volume, creating thicker, more concentrated blood which stresses the heart. This also decreases the ability to transport oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and other living cells.
- Dehydration can be linked to impotence – via – not enough fluids to create seminal fluids. It can also be linked to hair loss – not enough fluids to carry proteins to the scalp.
I personally have a Tervis cup next to me pretty much all day to make sure I'm maintaining a healthy daily intake. Here's another fantastic way to make sure you're drinking throughout the day!
You can also print this handy "8 a day" water tally sheet.
Happy hydrating — cheers!

Viewing Day This Sunday , April 30th!
Mudville Viewing: 1-4:30pm
Reyna Viewing: 9:30am-1pm
Sauer Viewing: 1-4:30pm
Email your league directors below to register if you plan to attend.
- Sauer: Tom Russell (firstname.lastname@example.com)
- Reyna: Rob Wehmeyer (email@example.com)
- Mudville: Dermott Larkin (firstname.lastname@example.com)
The Summer Tournament baseball program is a competitive league that augments our regular season league and supports one to three teams per league starting at Sandlot (8 years) and ending at Sauer (14 years).
Summer tournament teams are a more rigorous training program for developing baseball players and require a higher level of effort, focus and commitment than the regular season. All Summer Tournament team players spend the spring playing on a regular season BYBA team. Most teams play their first tournament of the season on Memorial Day weekend and then continue throughout the summer on a regular basis after the regular season ends. Each team is run by a group of Tournament Team coaches who are appointed by the League Director. Typically, one of the teams is designated as the A team (the Red team) and one as the B team (the Blue team). Typically, the A team will seek to play in the more competitive A brackets of local tournaments. In the Mudville division, we typically form a third team of all 9U players (the White team).
The League Director of each league is responsible for forming the respective league's tournament team in late April. Tournament teams are highly selective and players are selected based on a variety of factors, including:
- Attitude, effort and ability
- Observed performance during the regular season
- Coach evaluations based on regular season play
- Viewing day performance (conducted in late April; Mudville, Reyna and Sauer only)
- Tournament season availability (families should schedule summer plans to make at least 3 of 4 or 4 of 5 tournaments)
Assessments and selections will be made by a committee of experienced tournament coaches. Not all players will be selected.
Each team participates in tournaments held in nearby towns throughout the summer, typically Memorial Day through late July or early August. Coaches and team to decide tourney schedule (~ 4 to 6 tournaments per team). Anticipate minimum of 2 practices per week (one field practice and one batting cage practice). The cost is approximately $375 – $450 per player for the summer and includes
- Uniforms (hat, jersey, socks)
- Insurance
- Field and light fees
- Equipment
- Tournament entry fees
- Fees are only due once player is selected to a team

Science Week 2015 – How Plants Grow
The Senior Infants have been celebrating Science Week 2015 with fun lessons on how plants grow – labelling parts of a plant, finding out what a seed needs to grow, the growing seasons and planting their own Spring bulbs.
The children had great fun investigating how plants 'drink'. They loved observing the celery and white carnation gradually turn red as the plants 'drank' the dyed water during the week.
Watch the video below to see how we planted our own Spring bulbs in class and we are looking forward to watching them grow over the coming months.

"A barrel or cask is a hollow cylindrical container, traditionally made of staves (curved wooden members) and bound with iron hoops or rope."

Ergo, a firkin *is* a barrel.

Next you're gonna be complaining that beer's not kept in bottles either, because a standard bottle holds 750mL, and beer usually turns up somewhere between a Jennie and a Clavelin.

I don't give a bollocks what size it is, just so long as sweet nourishing beer comes out of it.

John Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981 outside the Washington Hilton. Hinckley shot Reagan along with three others: press secretary James Brady — who was left paralyzed and died in 2014 due to his injuries related to the shooting — U.S. Secret Service agent Tim McCarthy and D.C. police officer Thomas Delahanty.
On Wednesday, a federal judge appointed by former President Bill Clinton ruled that Hinckley will be released from the government psychiatric hospital, St. Elizabeth's, where he's spent the last 34 years.
According to The Washington Post, U.S. District Judge Paul L Friedman wrote that 61-year-old Hinckley was no longer a danger to himself or others and as early as Aug. 5 he will be allowed to live full-time with his mother in Williamsburg, Virginia — although he will be subject to a variety of treatment and monitoring conditions.
Advertisement - story continues below
According to the order, those temporary restrictions could be lifted as soon as 12-18 months after this if Hinckley complies with them.
Hinckley was in the hospital full-time until the 1990's when he was granted supervised home visits that eventually extended to 17-day stretches at his mother's home in a gated golf course development.
TRENDING: Ben Carson's HUD Launches Serious Investigation of Facebook
Hinckley's longtime attorney, Barry Levine, said that Hinckley was no longer a threat and that fact "should give great comfort to a concerned citizenry that the mental health system and the judicial system worked and worked well."
"Mr. Hinckley recognizes that what he did was horrific," Levine added. "But it's crucial to understand that what he did was not an act of evil. It was an act caused by mental illness."
Advertisement - story continues below
Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said of the release: "Just because he hasn't acted up in a clinical environment in decades doesn't mean he does not have a proclivity to act out violently when he's out of that setting."
As The Post pointed out, this case was a huge moment in the history of this country both in terms of the attempted assassination and for the issue of mental health.
A federal jury found Hinckley not guilty by reason of insanity in 1982, angering many and setting off changes in 38 states that raised the standard of proof for an insanity defense.
Today, the country still struggles with how to handle mental health issues, and when shootings like this occur, guns are often blamed instead of a woefully inadequate system of handling the mentally ill along with ineffective mental health legislation.
Only time will tell if Judge Friedman's assessment was sound, but the sad part is that by the time we know with certainty, it could be too late.

Aren't these the cutest things you have ever seen? They are one bite Teeny Tiny Roasted Potatoes. Every time I go into Traders Joe's I come out with a treasure. I love grocery shopping, especially when I find new products! This was my treasure from Trader Joe's last week.
I am sure that everyone has made roasted potatoes before right? This is a no brainer, family favorite recipe that is an easy weeknight fix. I didn't have to slice them in half but I did cut some of the bigger ones just to make them bite sized. My kids love the combo of garlic and parmesan so that's what we went with here. Serve it with Herbed Skirt Steak and win super mom status.
This is so easy I'm not even giving you a printable recipe. You can do this, I know you can.
- preheat oven to 450°
- wash 1 lb. teeny tiny potatoes and pat dry
- slice bigger ones in half (optional)
- put in a bowl and toss with 3-4 tbsp olive oil, 3 garlic cloves (I buy the jarred ones), 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp pepper
- place on a baking sheet and cook for about 20 minutes
- sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve immediately
If you are lucky enough to have leftovers don't toss them! Use them for…
- topping for a salad
- dipped in roasted red pepper sauce or similar dip for an appetizer
- saute them with onions and scrambled eggs for breakfast
- bake them with cheese on top
- potato soup

A New Way To Connect Communities Though Sharing Food and Stories
A New Way To Connect Communities Though Sharing Food and Stories
In an atmosphere of increasing hate and intolerance, we must become a greater and proactive force for compassion and understanding. The Eat with Muslims (EWM) project is a grass-roots movement to help aggressively counter misperceptions of Muslims. We live in an age where neighbors don't get to know one another anymore, making it easy for preconceived notions to thrive. We are committed to building bridges between people of different cultures and faiths, bringing them together over delicious food and fostering dialogue. This project is designed to give the American Muslim community the chance to reach out and take charge of their narrative. We believe that eating together and sharing our stories is what will strengthen and enrich our country and our values.
Unity is Strength, Division is Weakness-Swahili Proverb
Share A Meal
Take A Journey
Share A Meal
Take A Journey
Muslims are one of the most hospitable, culturally diverse, and unique groups of people in the world, yet they face many challenges because people are afraid or stereotype them. Here in America, we rarely get a glimpse of what Muslims truly care about and what their stories look like. We are seen as different and mysterious. Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie stated "The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story."
EWM wants to work to change the "only story" that is told about Muslims and showcase our beautiful diversity. This will be done through dinners, plays, photographs and videos.We are hoping to attract a diverse audience to our project but most of all, Eat With Muslims will give Muslim Americans the chance to tell their own stories and reach out to their fellow Americans. We hope this can turn into a movement that allows people to come together, think critically, and have courageous conversations.

Within the last couple of months, I've watched bitcoin's worth increase exponentially. I didn't have any clue what bitcoin had been and never heard of crypto money a couple of months past. However, with the recent authorities and press focus crypto monies have received, they've gotten everybody's interest.
Crypto money or more only digital currency is gaining approval quickly all around the world since it makes transactions faster and more economical. With its increase in popularity and value, everybody wants a bit of this action. There are two chief approaches to earn cash with bitcoin. The first is a fairly simple way of buying the coin within an investment and also expect that its worth increases. After a trade has happened they are subsequently confirmed over the community by "miners" using complex algorithms. As a benefit for their job that they receive transaction fees or freshly stained bitcoins!
In an investment perspective, there's a major risk/reward factor because this money is relatively new and does not have any inherent value inducing volatility and large cost fluctuations. A positive truth is there's a massive sum of money spent in this and organizations are registering to use this money so we don't have any idea if its worth will return to zero!
"Mining" additionally has a major risk/reward element. At the start of bitcoin, you were in a position to "mine" having a normal laptop or home pc. However, now as more folks do it the problem and electricity required to "mine" increases. Today "miners" appearing to be rewarding need to put money into complex high technology mining rigs and there's still no guarantee they'll be rewarding or perhaps make their prices back.
There are a third party and safer choice, however. In any sudden occurring that guarantees wealth the most profitable enterprise is promoting the instrument which can help create that wealth. By way of example, at a gold rush, it is the spade and also at "mining" to get bitcoin it could be mining baits or strong graphics cards. If you may create these or perhaps get your hands on a few cheap you'd earn a substantial profit Placing them.
With people flocking to the wealth dangling in front of these scam artists are using a field day too. Read more articles, read the forums, and watch the bitcoin marketplace, and study your prices and ROI before contemplating buying something. In my view, you ought to do this for a couple weeks before putting any money into drama. This is a very volatile market and a much riskier investment.

Friday was a big day in our household as it was this Friday that Haaretz published a full page article on Delicious!, the loyal students who have contributed so much to the cooking school's success, and my aliyah story.
(To access the article go to my website at www.deliciouskitchen.weebly.com and click on Haaretz interview.)
I received an overwhelming response to this comprehensive report and much of Friday was spent responding to emails and Facebook comments....with the result that it was suddenly mid-afternoon and I hadn't yet decided what to make for dinner.
Supermarket security agreed to me dashing in for just 'a carton of milk' - they've heard THAT excuse on a Friday at closing time a million times over - and I nipped in and out within minutes after picking up the few, essential ingredients I needed to make an equally speedy dish.
Keep this recipe up your sleeve for those days when time is short which - if my experience of life in Israel is anything to go by - is pretty much always.
3 tablespoons canola oil
800 grams chicken thighs (pargiot)
2 chopped onions
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon tumeric
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 small can chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup raisins
Grated zest of one lemon
1: Heat half the oil and lightly fry the chicken in batches to seal but don't brown and arrange in a baking dish.
2: Heat the remaining oil and soften onions and garlic then add all the spices and allow to sizzle for a few minutes.
3: Add remaining ingredients apart from the lemon zest and pour over the chicken and then cover and bake at 180 C for 45 minutes.
4: Remove the cover, sprinkle over lemon zest and bake uncovered for a further 30 minutes then serve with couscous.

A sadistic murderer who tortured and then butchered his drinking partner after he failed to settle a £20 debt has been jailed for at least 25 years.
David Knight - who had demanded a "pint on the bar" as well as payment of the loan - used a carving knife to inflict dozens of injuries on Paul Tapley during a five-mile car journey, Stafford Crown Court heard.
Jailing Knight for life and ruling that he should not be considered for parole until 2030, Mr Justice Wakerley told the 35-year-old: "I am driven to the conclusion that you are a dangerous man liable to outbursts of extreme violence to others in unpredictable circumstances."
Describing the level of violence used against the victim at his flat in Rodenhurst House, Market Drayton, Shropshire, and during the car journey as unspeakable, the judge continued: "There were 60-odd separate injuries.
"Eleven of those were the eventual fatal injuries, but a significant number of the others were controlled injuries.
"I am satisfied to the criminal standard of proof that this involved sadism."
The body of Mr Tapley, a 32-year-old who had diabetes and epilepsy, was found dumped near the A529, five miles outside Market Drayton on April 13 last year.
He had suffered several stab wounds to the neck, had been repeatedly cut about the arms and then suffered 11 fatal wounds to the chest and abdomen which pierced four of his vital organs.
Denis Desmond, prosecuting, told the court that Tapley and Knight had been overheard discussing the £20 debt during their trawl of a number of pubs in Market Drayton.
Mr Desmond added: "Knight was heard to say that that he had lent him £20, telling Mr Tapley 'Make sure this money is back here tomorrow on the bar with a pint. I could hurt you and I will hurt you'."
The court also heard that a neighbour of Mr Tapley told police he had heard bumping noises coming from the flat where the attack started and man shouting: "Give it to me, I want it."
Knight, of Burgage Close, Market Drayton, admitted murder at a previous hearing.
Paul Connelly, 35, also of Burgage Close, was jailed for five years for assisting Knight by driving the car in which Mr Tapley was terrorised.

When I attach a 4x magnifier to my 75-300 lens it won"t focus on anything.
by David Moser
When I attach a 4x magnifier to my 75-300 lens, it won't focus on anything, even a mile away.
The reason your lens will not focus correctly is most likely because it does not have enough light to do so. A 75-300 lens is normally a variable aperture lens meaning that as the lens is zoomed the largest aperture the lens can open to changes. These lenses are generally considered to be "slower" lenses meaning they require more light than a "fast" fixed aperture professional grade lens does. This is why they are not suited to shooting in lower light conditions or with lens extenders attached to them.
All cameras require a certain amount of light to focus properly. The amount of light needed for your camera to auto-focus depends on the brand and type of camera but all cameras even the high end professional models will not auto-focus without adequate light reaching the focus sensor.
Adding a teleconverter or magnifier to a lens reduces the amount of light the lens passes through to the sensor. Typically a high quality 2x extender will reduce the available light by one half. Therefore the effective aperture of your lens is decreased. For example a 3.5F aperture with a 2x teleconverter essentially becomes a 7F lens. With a 4x extender your effective aperture would be reduced to F14 which is too small to allow your camera to auto-focus.
Another drawback of using teleconverters or lens magnifiers is that another side effect is they often reduce the sharpness of the lens. The combination of not enough light and reduced sharpness of the image would be enough to cause the issues you are having with focusing when using a 4x magnifier on your lens.

It's 12.17pm. I need to vacuum and dust and make sure all the dishes are put away and maybe do some laundry and walk the dog and figure out dinner and a few other things. And I need to finish quilling a bonsai tree. I'll have to go to the hobby store for more papers first, though. This bonsai tree design is very simple but very time consuming.
In two weeks, we should be in Florida. I'm excited about this. I think. I've never been to Florida. I should be trying to get a better tan before we go but that requires being outside and the heat is NOT agreeing with me lately.
Looking at house plans bugs me. I wish for money to be no object.

The fundamental aim of this programme is to prepare students in the skills, knowledge and practices relevant to the development and maintenance of health as a public and social concern.
The particular objectives of the programme comprise:
Through the 2 years of study, students will gain a firm knowledge and understanding of key areas of health social sciences. In addition students will gain knowledge of how to apply knowledge in areas of health, health practice, education and research.
FHEQ Level 4
A firm foundation introducing basic concepts that determine the sociology of health, health policy and clinic aspects of health.
Specific areas.
FHEQ Level 5
Development of understanding to encompass knowledge of sociology of health with specific topics associated with society, microbiology and research.
Thinking and cognitive skills are expected to develop across the two years of study, preparing student to meet the expectations of Level 6 study. There is a clear progression from an emphasis on description and understanding, to demonstration of analytical and critical skills (all modules). The ability to reason, to synthesise information and data from various sources, to analyse, evaluate, problem solve and challenge perspectives will be shown.
Students will demonstrate the ability to manage their time, and to plan, conduct and report research in a variety of formats, and deal with statistical and textual analysis of data. Students will gain experience in project management consistent with practice in professional contexts, as well as knowledge of ethical standards in research. IT skills will be demonstrated across all modules.
Develop written and presentation skills across all modules, with an emphasis on moving from descriptive text to evaluative prose, using essays, reports and presentations, making effective use of information and communication technologies. Introduction to writing and referencing conventions (All modules).
Consolidation of skills used for communication. Applying a critical lens to information (all modules) with the application of conventions used for referencing.
This is a Foundation Degree programme which can be taken over two years as a full time student, or four years as a part time student. It is designed for people working, or who wish to work, in non-clinical health settings, and has a strong element of work related learning at both level 4 and level 5. All modules attract 20 credits. To be awarded the Foundation Degree, students must achieve 120 credits at both level 4 and level 5. The core disciplines represented at both levels comprise health sciences, epidemiology, research methods, sociology and social policy. At level 4 there is an inclusion of study support skills into each module to support students from non-traditional academic backgrounds and all modules include some aspect of either study skills, transferable skills and/or employability skills.
The student requires 120 credits at level 4 to progress to Level 5, and 120 credits at level 5 to achieve the Foundation Degree. Successful completion of the Foundation Degree, will allow progression onto the Level 6 provision or other related/appropriate Level 6 programmes of study.
Entry requirements are one of the following (or their equivalent):
The subject benchmarks have been developed in light of the QAA Foundation Degree qualification benchmark guidance (May, 2010), and the Skills for Health Foundation Degree Framework for the Health Sector. In particular they are designed to 'enable learners to benefit from the interpretation of ideas and the experience of practice, within the wider context of employment and one in which knowledge, understanding and skills are clearly integrated.' (QAA Foundation Degree qualification benchmarks, May 2010, p. 12)
All modules at both level 4 and 5 are designed to incorporate a range of teaching methods, in order to maximise effective learning and to respond to individual needs. The range of teaching strategies comprises:
Learning, support and stimulus materials are accessible through the electronic learning environment, and students are encouraged to access and communicate using web-based materials and applications.
Formative assessment is incorporated into all modules to enable students to monitor their own learning, and to support their growing independence as learners.
A variety of assessment methods is employed to ensure fairness to all students, and to incorporate where possible employment related skills alongside disciplinary knowledge assessment. All modules have at least two elements of assessment, sometimes but not always based on coursework and examination. Assessment methods comprise:
Students who achieve the Foundation Degree have a blend of theoretical and practical knowledge and ability to work in a range of health related settings, including health promotion and maintenance, community and crisis work, policy planning and research. They also have the capacity to continue their development either through further academic study to achieve an Honours degree or through specialised professional training.

"I hoped coming here would be for the better. I thought it would be so exciting—a chance to make a difference." She coughed, easing the lump forming in her throat.
"It's certainly been exciting," Geena chuckled. "Can't argue with that one!"
"I didn't mean that kind of exciting! I meant good exciting, not the kind where people get killed and the animals eat you for breakfast."
"I know," Geena sighed. She pulled off her boots and waded in. "Jesus! This shit's cold."
The tip of her hunting bow caught in a branch hanging overhead. With a disgusted huff, she wiggled it free, taking a moment to smooth the taut string with loving fingers. The tracker was never without her arsenal, a fact Rachel appreciated. Throwing knives ringed the tracker's slim waist, her weapons of choice. Strapped to her leg was an abbreviated panga, for close encounters she said. Clad in a leather vest and knee length leather pants, Geena looked lethal and extremely capable. Save for the delicate features fringed by short blonde hair, she was as savage appearing as any of the men. Could kick most of their butts too!

Investors are cautioned not to invest in South African companies managed, owned or operated by politically affiliated individuals. The level of corruption is beyond control. Already we are facing Junk status, and if these companies were such good investments, the junk status would have been avoided. The level of collusion, tender rigging, price fixing and related incidents, are mostly connected to companies on the JSE. If you prefer to support these activities by investing your money with them, please click the back button on your browser.
What this country need, is a stable Microbusiness market, where small business owners provide services and products below the market rate charged by large corporate companies, who are often top heavy.
Investing in a SME is an investment in one or more individuals, not some Three letter acronymn on the Stock Exchange. Investing in people, is both a personal and humanitarian action. It carries the risk of failure, but with it is the personal interest of the individual to make it work, the dedication of families and the pride of the success.
How we handle investments
We use investments to fund the acquisition of franchises offered by the Group. A potential franchisee may not have the capital to purchase a franchise outright. In many cases, they are also unable to secure conventional capital from commercial banks. They are therefore very much depended on venture capital. The Group assists potential franchisees from the Venture Capital provided by private investors.
See our Franchising page for more information on selling prices.
Funding are made available after the potential franchisee has provided a Credit Report and Balance Sheet together with a Deed of Surety. The funds are then invested at a commercial bank and used as surety for a loan to the franchisee. We also provide assistance to the franchisee to draft a business plan.
Currently an investment of $2000 is adequate to fund a new business opportunity in South Africa.

Alabama vs.Vanderbilt
|Date: 10/2/1926
|Score: 19-7
|In this contest, the Crimson Tide defeated an always-tough Vanderbilt squad in Nashville by the score of 19-7. Vanderbilt's defense was ready to face an Alabama passing attack, but instead the Tide surprised everyone with a solid ground game that "should have been set to music" according to one columnist. After a series of fumbles and a blocked punt, the Tide recovered the football and started a drive capped by an 8 yard pass from Hoyt Winslet to Herschel Caldwell for the first score of the game. Red Barnes crossed into the endzone next with a 21 yard run around end. The second and third quarters remained scoreless and both offenses came back strong in the fourth. Vandy pulled the game to within one score early but a Caldwell to Winslett pass added the insurance score Alabama needed. The 1926 squad finished the season with a 9-0-1 record, as Southern Conference champions, and as repeat national champions for coach Wallace Wade.
