Danceworks Announces December 17 Mad Hot Tap Competition; Expands Program to Full Year for First Time In Eleven Year History.
MILWAUKEE – Nearly 1,000 fifth grade students from 34 Milwaukee area schools will participate in the Danceworks Mad Hot Tap competition on December 17, 2016 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. Van McNeil of WISN-Channel 12 and radio station B93.3 will emcee the competition. This fun-filled and family friendly event kicks off at 9:30 a.m. with finals beginning at 11:45am. The Mad Hot Tap Competition is free and open to the public, and guests are welcome to come and go during the competition as they please.
2016 is the first year that Danceworks is offering the Mad Hot Ballroom and Tap (MHBT) program for a full school year with two competitions, tap in December and ballroom in May. Danceworks expects to serve 50 schools this spring for the ballroom portion of the program. In previous years, MHBT served 4th through 6th grade classrooms at participating schools from January to May with one competition covering both styles each May.
Modeled after the successful New York City schools program featured in the hit documentary Mad Hot Ballroom, Danceworks Mad Hot engages students in the classroom by incorporating arts education into the school day that wouldn't otherwise be available. Mad Hot promotes students' social and emotional development, while increasing their respect for self and others as well as their physical activity.
Students receive 22 hours of instruction from professional teaching artists over 11 weeks. The majority of schools are located in low-income neighborhoods of the city (please see list below).
"Danceworks Mad Hot's dance gets our city's youth stepping in the right direction—helping them become more socially and emotionally confident and more physically active during the school day," said Danceworks Executive Director Deborah Farris.
"We have found that once students dance through Danceworks Mad Hot, most discover that they're good at it and that they like it. This experience connects them to their classmates and radiates into other areas of their lives," Farris continued. "Teachers tell us that Mad Hot provides students with a venue for success, builds their self-esteem and creates teamwork within the classroom."
"Ultimately, we believe that Mad Hot helps students grow into healthy, confident individuals who have a positive impact on our community."

End of Hire
On this page
What happens at the end of the Hire Period?
What happens at the end of the Hire Period?
At the end of your hire period you must choose an ownership option and, if applicable, make another payment to take ownership of your Cyclescheme Package. Without this payment HMRC would class the agreement as hire purchase, rather than hire, and as a the tax exemption would not be available.
If Cyclescheme is handling your ownership options, you will be given the following 3 options at the end of your hire period:
- Own it now - Take ownership of your package by paying Cyclescheme the market value (e.g. for a one year old package this would be 18% or 25%* of the Certificate value in accordance with HMRC requirements).
- Own it later – Enter into an Extended Use Agreement with Cyclescheme. You pay a small refundable deposit (either 3% or 7% of your certificate value*) and continue to use the equipment for 3 years. No further regular salary payments are required during this time. At the end of this period, Cyclescheme refunds the deposit if you do not wish to keep the package. No further action or payment is required if you wish to keep the equipment.
- Return - Return the package to Cyclescheme at your own cost.
Cyclescheme recommends option 2. This allows you to participate in another scheme during this period, as the agreement is directly between yourself and Cyclescheme - your employer does nothing more.
* The lower figure is for a certificate value of less than £500 and the higher one for a certificate value of £500 or more. These figures include VAT.
To view a guide to Cyclescheme's easy End of Hire process please click here.
What happens at the end of the Extended Use Agreement?
What happens at the end of the Extended Use Agreement?
At the end of your Extended Use Agreement, Cyclescheme will contact you and ask if you would like to keep your Cyclescheme package and become the legal owner. If you do, Cyclescheme will retains your 3% or 7% fee and no further payment is required.
How do I make payment?
How do I make payment?
The Ownership Fee (either the Market Value or Extended Use Agreement) is a separate transaction to the Hire Period, and as such cannot be taken from your salary.
Cyclescheme will contact you by email or letter at the end of your Hire Period. This will contain a link to a secure payment portal from which you can select your preferred ownership option and make any payment required (alternatively you can pay by cheque or by BACS).
How is the Ownership payment calculated?
How is the Ownership payment calculated?
HMRC has published the following 'Valuation Table' to be used to calculate the market value of bikes and accessories at the end of the Hire Period.
Cyclescheme has chosen the best option for the employee. The market value is calculated as below:
Figure to which market value is applied = (Equipment value - Helmet value) - VAT
The appropriate Valuation Table percentage is then applied to this amount, and VAT is added back on.
Here's an example based on an equipment value of £550 including a £30 Helmet:
Figure to which market value is applied = (£550 - £30) = £520.00 - VAT = £433.34
£433.34 is less than £500, therefore;
12 month valuation percentage = 18%
4 year valuation percentage = 3%
4 year valuation = 433.34 * 3% = £13.00 + VAT = £15.60
Why is the Ownership process required?
Why is the Ownership process required?
In order to benefit from Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions (NIC) savings, the Hire Agreement you enter into with your employer must be for the hire of the equipment only. If the agreement allows for ownership to pass to you automatically, this would result in the agreement being classed as a Hire Purchase Agreement and a tax exemption would not be available.
To avoid your Cyclescheme package becoming taxable; any offer of ownership must be conducted as a separate transaction at the end of your hire period.
Cyclescheme can provide employers with a solution that maximises participants savings, to view this in more detail, please see "What happens at the end of the Hire Period"

|Lana Del Rey... yay or nay?
Oh, so you're going to Splendour are you? You are in for quite the long weekend! There's a whole bunch of amazing talent lined up to perform, ensuring that the festival's return to Byron Bay will be a huge success. You've gone out and bought some new clothes that look twenty years old, Instagram has been updated on your iPhone and JB Hi-Fi has been raided for classic Smashing Pumpkins albums (to take the awful taste of Billy Corgan's new one away). All that's left is to decide on who you're going to see. Want some recommendations? No? Well you're going to get them anyway. Here are ten acts we're saying you've just gotta see at Splendour In The Grass this year. As is the custom with '10 and 1,' I'll be throwing in one act you probably shouldn't waste your time on. Got it? Good.
Azealia Banks
Can the uber-vulgar/amazing spitfire rhymes of Azealia Banks translate to a successful Australian festival debut? We say yes... yes they can. Her live performance of '212' is guaranteed to be a Splendour highlight, with the crowd finally being able to sing along to a song that drops the c-bomb approximately seven thousand times. What you gon do when she appears? Go mental.
Gypsy and The Cat
Xavier Bacash and Lionel Towers wowed us with their singles 'Time To Wander' and 'Jona Vark,' hit it big on the JJJ Hottest 100 last year and then kept it fairly quiet for the rest of 2011. With a sophomore album reportedly on the way, expect to hear mind blowing new material from Gypsy and The Cat.
Lana Del Rey
It could go either way. Now I know that's not the best reason as to why you should go see the divisive Lana Del Rey, but hear me out. Either it will be incredible, a vocal wonder that leaves you walking away wanting more or it'll be tragic. If it leans towards tragic, an Australian crowd will be extremely unsympathetic. Seeing a crowd turn on an artist at Splendour would be surreal. As a big fan of the pouty-one, I think she's had the time to overcome any big performance nerves and she'll knock it out of the park. Either way, she promises to put on a show you won't forget.
Who cares that she's played every single Australian festival in the last year (including Splendour In The Grass 2011)? No one. That's who. If you've seen Kimbra live you'll know that she will pull out all the stops to entertain her crowd. There will be cute dancing, there will be booming vocals and there will be the funnest backing back in the world today. Kimbra returns to Splendour with an Australia, UK and US #1 single to her name and a year's worth of international touring experience. She will be brilliant.
You've got to see the iconic Australian bands like Spiderbait at festivals while you have the chance, because it's highly likely they won't be back again. They'll have you rocking out to old favourites like 'Calypso' and 'Buy Me A Pony.' Then they'll play 'Black Betty' and you can leave.
It's Beth Ditto. She will sing her little heart out, you'll go crazy, she'll act all offensive, you won't be phased by it because you've already seen Azealia Banks. Gossip's 2012 LP, A Joyful Noise, hasn't made the impact it should have in Australia. Hopefully their performance at Splendour will garner it some more much deserved interest.
Emma Louise
Not so sure? READ ME!
The Medics
Looking for that up and coming Australian band that's going to make some noise by making their Splendour debut one to remember? The Medics are the band you're looking for.
Tame Imapla
Looking for that established Australian band that's going to blow your socks off the minute they hit the stage and will keep on leaving you in awe until the minute they stop? Tame Impala are the band you're looking for. Pack some extra socks.
Jack White
Well, duh.
Yeah. No.
Hope you crazy kids have an excellent festival experience! Jo will be there, providing us with our second consecutive Splendour in the Grass text review! Hilarity will definitely ensue... especially when the Smashing Pumpkins take to the stage.

Does prozac contain alprazolam?
- Asked

- Topics
- prozac, alprazolam
Responses (2)
No, they are two completely different medications. Prozac is an antidepressant and alprazolam is an anti-anxiety drug or some call it a tranquilizer. Prozac is fluoxetine and works more long term for anxiety. It can take up to 4-6 weeks for full therapeutic effects to take place. Alprazolam is a short acting anti-anxiety medication.
hello jason allen,
DzooBaby is correnct, prozac is and antideppresant and can be used for other things as well, but it doesn't have alprazalam in it for that is in a differant drug catagory called benzodiazapine which is for people with panic disorders/anxiety and so on... hope this helps...

Divorce is a very complicated endeavor, and it is made even more so by children with special needs. You need to ensure that you take particular care to resolve four key issues when it comes to your divorce. Children with special needs require extra care during a custody dispute. They typically need additional medical attention, education oversight, and transition plans to ensure that both parents continue to act in the child's best interest.
First, set down a visitation schedule and transition plan for the child to move between your home and your ex-spouse's place of residence. Second, ensure that there is a clear hierarchy to make education decisions. Third, ensure that you both understand how to resolve health and medical care matters. Finally, you need to come up with a plan to share in social and recreational opportunities.
These issues need to be settled as soon as possible because, very often, parents may disagree on how to raise their children. It is also common for one parent to reject that their child is special needs and refuse to provide additional care or treatment. Divorce means that all of those old fights you avoided with your spouse must be dealt with to ensure that your child's needs are met.
If you are engaged in a child custody dispute, then you may want to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible. If you have a special needs child, the assistance of an attorney can prove extremely beneficial. A lawyer will know to resolve all of these matters as quickly and efficiently as possible for the sake of your child.

Hasbro Profit Declines 8% On Weak 'Star Wars' Sales
Hasbro Inc. said Monday that second-quarter income declined 8% from a year-ago period that was bolstered by strong sales of "Star Wars" toys.
The nation's No.2 toy maker, whose brands range from Ants in the Pants to Zoombox, said profit fell 8% to $27.1 million, or seven cents a share, from $29.5 million, or 13 cents, in the year-earlier period. Revenue fell 7.8% to $527.8 million from $572.4 million.

ISIS stands on the verge of a welcome defeat. Following the Iraqi army's capture of Mosul, Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi felt confident enough to declare 'the end of the [ISIS] state of falsehood'. And now, a coalition of Kurdish and Arab fighters, assembled principally by the Kurds under the banner of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), looks set to strike at the one-time heart of the self-styled caliphate in Raqqa, Syria. As the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported, the SDF has 'completely encircled' the de facto capital. There are still estimated to be 2,500 ISIS militants hiding and fighting it out in Raqqa, so the fall of Raqqa won't be smooth, but the end of the Islamic State, as a quasi-state, certainly looks close.
Which is hardly a surprise. Over the past two years, ISIS has lost 60 per cent of its territory. And its revenue, which was increasingly self-generated rather than donated, has, in the same period, plummeted by 80 per cent, to just $16million a month. If the Islamic State is still a state, it's both broken and broke.
Few will mourn the demise of the faithful nihilists of the Islamic State, and rightly so. ISIS was a politically and morally repugnant force, initially answering a need for security and infrastructure from towns and cities it was then to terrorise. Yet, as welcome and deserved as the end of ISIS will be, the problems for the Middle East will continue. For a start, ISIS, although significantly diminished, will retreat and reform somewhere else. Already it is being reported that its leaders and administrative personnel have evacuated further along the Euphrates to Mayadin, a Syrian town east of Raqqa. And it still possesses strongholds on the Euphrates in Iraq, too, in Tal Afar and Huwaija.
But deeper still, it is important to remember that ISIS was not the main cause of its own rise. That is, it was not the prompt for the unravelling of the state structures, which had until the invasion of Iraq in 2003 largely maintained a degree of regional stability. That was down to Western intervention. Because with the signal act of removing Iraq's dictator, Saddam Hussein, all those years ago, the West created a space, a vacuum of authority, in which sectional and tribal interests flourished, and into which external actors, from Iran and Saudi Arabia to the US and Russia, were sucked — partially out of necessity, partially out of a desire to pursue their own territorial and regional designs.
ISIS itself, for 10 years after the fall of Saddam, was a marginal, mercurial force. Then operating as Al-Qaeda in Iraq, its fortunes ebbed and flowed with America's 'surges', the fragile, sectarian and largely illegitimate Iraqi state's attempts to assert itself, and the interests and determination of its donors in the Gulf States. What it did do was become extreme, violent, barbaric. In the heat and fire of the conflict with US forces and assorted Shia militias, Al-Qaeda in Iraq became a far more brutal organisation than Osama bin Laden's original iteration, as its apocalyptic leaders demonstrated, starting with the decapitation-loving Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, whose infamous 2006 quote about burning crusader armies still opens ISIS's glossy Dabiq magazine, and culminating in the eschatological poses of its current, possibly deceased leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who formally announced the foundation of ISIS in 2013.

Did MCG spend too much for speed breakers?
The Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) paid more money for installing plastic speed breakers on the city roads then the market price.gurgaon Updated: Aug 07, 2012 02:08 IST
The Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) paid more money for installing plastic speed breakers on the city roads then the market price.
For setting up a metre of speed breaker, the civic body pays to its contractors around Rs. 3,400, which is up to three times higher than the present market price. This was revealed in the response to an RTI filed by a resident of Sector 46.
HT along with the RTI applicant, Jagjit Singh Walia, checked the price of speed breakers in the market and found that the material and labour for installation comes to only Rs. 1,100 per metre.
Walia, in his RTI application, had asked how the MCG constructed these speed breakers and how much did it cost.
The rates of MCG quoted in the RTI reply were Rs. 3,400 per metre. These were plastic speed breakers and the cost includes transportation, sales tax and VAT, loading and installation charges.
"I had doubts about MCG rates. So I decided to check the rates. I found that the company hired by the MCG seems to be fooling the authorities," Walia said.
According to Parvina Enterprises, the firm which deals in plastic speed breakers, the rate including installation was R1,100 per metre. Another firm Sidhi Vinayak Enterprises quoted the rate Rs. 1,950 including installation.
Officials deny of misuse of fund, saying the contracts have been issued as per norms.
"There are different varieties of speed breakers available in the market. Those which we have got installed are the best ones and the contractor is giving us one year of warranty. It means they are responsible for any damage. We gave them contracts by following proper tender procedure," said Rajesh Bansal, executive engineer, MCG.

GMOs are harmful for human health

|1,140 times
|Debate No:
I am new to the site by the way and so I don't know all the rules sooo please let me know if I am not doing something or doing something wrong.
Looking forward to the debate! Go!
First of all, welcome to DDO! I hope you enjoy your time here and stay a while.
As Pro I will be arguing that yes, GMOs or Genetically Modified Organisms are harmful to humans. I understand that when refferring to GMOs we will be refferring to food that humans consume in which the DNA strands have been scientifically modified.
I will post my opening arguments in R2.
Good Luck!
First, I would like to say that the burden of proof that GMOs are harmful to human health lies on the pro side. Even though I have just stated that, in an attempt to help get the debate started and to strengthen my side I will provide evidence that the scientific literature's consensus is that GMOs are not harmful to human health. Review articles are a great help in this area as they look at the literature as a whole published in many, different journals and report their findings as a whole. One such review article looks at the research performed from 2002 to 2012 and found that none of them concluded there were any significant hazards to many concerns involving GMOs, including human health (1). This is all the evidence I will provide on this for now.
Second, there is little theoretical basis for harm to come from the consumption of GMOs to begin with. How exactly are GMOs made? The basics of the process are described in this article (2). Essentially, the gene of interest it inserted into bacteria which are then used to infect a plant that then have the gene of interest inserted into their genome. The end result is a plant that contains an extra bit of DNA and then the protein ultimately produced from this gene. Therefore, the only difference between the non-GMO plant and the GMO plant is that DNA and the protein. Obviously, eating DNA poses no issues to us as almost everything we eat was alive at one point. There is no mechanism for DNA to be taken up by our cells to begin with. We would have a ton of issues if we had to worry about what DNA was present in our food. The only other option then is the protein. There is potential harm that could come from these molecules in the form of allergies. But, GMOs must go through multiple tests to ensure that they will not cause allergic reactions and no GMO to date has ever caused an allergic reaction (3). Overall, the only potential theoretical harm is the harm caused by proteins in terms of allergies. Besides this, no harm can theoretically exist.

2. http://learn.genetics.utah.edu...
3. http://www.geneticliteracyproject.org...
As my Burden of Proof in this debate is to show how GMOs harm the human body, I will cite a variety of studies and research that prove just that.
Reproductive Toxicology
In this study, 30 healthy pregnant women and 39 healthy non-pregnant women were tested for dangerous chemicals that arrive via GMOs (specifically 3-MPPA, PAGMF, and a few others) in their blood.
To our knowledge, this is the first study to highlight the presence of pesticides-associated genetically modified foods in maternal, fetal and nonpregnant women's blood. 3-MPPA and Cry1Ab toxin are clearly detectable and appear to cross the placenta to the fetus. Given the potential toxicity of these environmental pollutants and the fragility of the fetus, more studies are needed, particularly those using the placental transfer approach. [1]
As the study shows, xenobiotics (a chemical substance found in an organism that is not naturally produced, a byproduct of GMOs) is highly dangerous for the fetus, and thus the high levels available within the mother is unhealthy for the growth and development of a child.
Glyphosate's Suppression of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Amino Acid Biosynthesis by the Gut Microbiome: Pathways to Modern Diseases
About 85% of all GMO crops are herbicide-tolerant, they are designed to tolerate very high levels of herbicide, especially glyphosate. These crops are referred to as 'RoundUp Ready Crops'. [2]
(Roundup [3] is a company that makes weed killers, the main ingredient is glyphosate; a toxic chemical that is extremely effective in fighting weeds. In an effort to make GMO crops weed-resistant, they infused it them with glyphosate, hence the 'RoundUp Ready Crops'.)
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup®, is the most popular herbicide used worldwide. The industry asserts it is minimally toxic to humans, but here we argue otherwise. Residues are found in the main foods of the Western diet, comprised primarily of sugar, corn, soy and wheat. Glyphosate's inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes is an overlooked component of its toxicity to mammals. CYP enzymes play crucial roles in biology, one of which is to detoxify xenobiotics. Thus, glyphosate enhances the damaging effects of other food borne chemical residues and environmental toxins. Negative impact on the body is insidious and manifests slowly over time as inflammation damages cellular systems throughout the body. Here, we show how interference with CYP enzymes acts synergistically with disruption of the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids by gut bacteria, as well as impairment in serum sulfate transport. Consequences are most of the diseases and conditions associated with a Western diet, which include gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, autism, infertility, cancer and Alzheimer's disease. We explain the documented effects of glyphosate and its ability to induce disease, and we show that glyphosate is the "textbook example" of exogenous semiotic entropy: the disruption of homeostasis by environmental toxins. [4]
The chemical, Glyphosate is found in the GMOs that we eat, so you would expect to find the dangerous chemical in our bodies. And that's exactly what has happened.
In this study, 182 urine samples received from 18 European countries were analyzed for Glyphosate and AMPA residues using a new GC-MSMS method. With a LOQ of 0,15 µg/l, on average 44 % and 36 % of the urine samples analyzed were found to contain quantifiable levels of Glyphosate and AMPA, respectively. [5]
GMOs contain a chemical glyphosate which is extremely dangerous to humans. This toxic chemical is found in the human body. GMOs cause harm to human health. GMOs are also proven to damage the fetus, causing impairment as the child grows up.

Rebuttal to: "Reproductive Toxicology"
First, it was mentioned that this study tested for "dangerous" chemicals in the blood of women. Below is the selected quote used from this paper:
To our knowledge, this is the first study to highlight the presence of pesticides-associated genetically modified foods in maternal, fetal and nonpregnant women's blood. 3-MPPA and Cry1Ab toxin are clearly detectable and appear to cross the placenta to the fetus. Given the potential toxicity of these environmental pollutants and the fragility of the fetus, more studies are needed, particularly those using the placental transfer approach.
There are two issues with the conclusions made by my fellow debater based upon this passage and the article as a whole. The authors of this paper never claimed that 3-MPPA and Cry1Ab are chemicals dangerous to human health anywhere in their paper. They even state "Given the POTENTIAL toxicity of these environmental pollutants" showing that there isn't any current evidence that shows these molecules are harmful to humans and they even go on to say more studies are needed which further suggests that this fact is not known. Second, even if these molecules are harmful to humans, it is all dependent upon amount. It is a well-known fact that EVERY molecule we know of is toxic to us when ingested in adequate amounts and this is a large part of the basic groundwork of toxicology (1). For example, water can kill you and has an LD50 (the amount required to kill 50% of tested animals) of 90 mL/kg of body weight (2). So, even if these molecules are harmful, this research does not demonstrate that they are present in high enough quantities to have an adverse effect.

First, I dispute your claim that 85% of all GMOs are herbicide resistant. Your source does not present the source of their information to this claim and it is not a trusted source such as a peer reviewed research paper, university website, or government agency therefore it could easily just be a made up figure.
Second, you cite no source to your claim that glyphosate is toxic and "RoundUp Ready Crops" are NOT infused with glyphosate. You have a misunderstanding of how these particular GMOs work. From Monsanto (the company that produces the crops and roundup) themselves (3):
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup agricultural herbicides, kills plants by inhibiting the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS)…… Roundup Ready corn event GA21 contains a modified epsps gene from corn (Zea mays, L.). The modified maize EPSPS (mEPSPS) protein differs from wild-type maize EPSPS by two amino acids. This results in an EPSPS protein with greater than 99.3% sequence identity to that produced naturally in corn. The mEPSPS protein has a low affinity for glyphosate compared to the wild-type EPSPS enzyme. Thus, when corn plants expressing the mEPSPS protein are treated with glyphosate, the plants are unaffected.
So essentially, the plants are normally killed by glyphosate, but because of the modified EPSPS enzyme, they are able to survive while microorganisms are killed by it because their wild type EPSPS loses it's activity from the interaction with glyphosate. This isn't very relevant to the argument as a whole, but I like to spread knowledge when I can.
Now onto the paper you have quoted. There are many issues with this paper that have been exposed by multiple sources (4, 5).
First, the researcher who wrote this paper is a computer science and artificial intelligence expert. She by no means at all has any sort of expertise in biology, chemistry, or health. Second, their claim that CYP enzymes are inhibited by glyphosate are made up as the two sources they cite for this (6, 7) say nothing about these class of enzymes at all. Lastly, their claims that it causes "gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, autism, infertility, cancer and Alzheimer's disease" are made up as they cite no studies for this at all and they come to these conclusions based on speculation.
They have actually ignored the majority of the scientific literature that says that development and reproduction are not affected by glyphosate (8), non-cancer diseases are also not caused by glyphosate (9), and cancer is not a result of glyphosate (10). It is important to note that the studies I just published are review articles that look at many studies and determine what they say as a whole which is always more reliable than relying upon just one study. It's like asking experts their opinion on something and when 99% of them say one thing, you decide that they are all wrong at that you will go with the opinion of the 1%. Except this is hard, data and not opinions.
Finally, you have only attempted to present evidence of the harm caused by RoundupReady GMOs in all of your sources. Your argument would be much better if the claim you had to backup was that RoundupReady crops are harmful to human health, but the statement is that GMOs as a whole are harmful. There are many, many more GMOs that work in very different ways than RoundupReady crops. These include "rainbow papayas" resistant to a virus, "golden rice" that contain more vitamin A for places where there is malnutrition of this vitamin, and Bt crops such as soy and cotton (11). So tell me then, what is harmful about other GMOs such as these?
In R2, Con argues two things, so I will address each separately.
1) First, Con cites a review paper that has seemingly read and analyzed every single study and research paper ever done on GMOs in the last 10 years and concludes that 'scientific research conducted so far has not detected any significant hazards directly connected with the use of GE crops'.
The fault here is that as Pro all I have to do is prove GMOs are harmful for the human health, no matter how small. If Con wanted to argue that there is no significant harm to human health from eating GMOs then he should have said so in R1, instead he said that there is no harm whatsoever by eating a GMO. All Con's evidence does is claim there is no significant hazards, yet Con's goal is to negate the fact that GMOs cause any harm whatsoever, the evidence does nothing for his case. The paper doesn't even define what they mean by significant. 'Significant hazards' could mean immediate death, Con misinterprets his evidence and tries to bend it into supporting his case.
Con also presents one review paper, assuming that it is the one golden study that is right.
So to contest Con's review paper I will cite a review paper that supports my case. [1]
The results of most studies with GM foods indicate that they may cause some common toxic effects such as hepatic, pancreatic, renal, or reproductive effects and may alter the hematological, biochemical, and immunologic parameters.
To conclude; Con has cited a review paper that says that they think there is no significant harm, ignoring the fact that there is less-significant harm caused by GMOs, and Con assumes that his paper's opinion is correct, which is contested by the review paper that I cited that says there GMOs do cause harm, completely negating the impact of Con's argument.
In the second contention, Con argues that since really all genetically modifying an organism is adding proteins and DNA, and since we eat DNA all the time in organic foods GMOs are no different, and therefore not harmful.
Con makes it sound like adding DNA to an organism is no big deal, that it is a small change. Yet ignores what changing the DNA means, you are changing the chemical makeup of the organism. This can cause unthinkable consequences. This is not an insignificant change.

5 points to Con (Arguments, Sources), 1 point to Pro (Conduct). Reasons for voting decision: Con cited only reputable sources while pro relied on either inconclusive or biased studies and cherry picked quotes to fit his or her argument.
[*Reason for removal*] (1) The voter doesn't examine any of the arguments given in the debate, yet he allocates argument points. RFDs that include argument points must evaluate the arguments directly, and not just evaluate the sources. While sources can make the difference, more must be done. (2) The voter doesn't specifically point to any sources of ill repute, merely claiming that many of them were "inconclusive or biased", does not explain where or how Pro "cherry picked quotes", nor does he examine Con's sources at all to show that they were superior. While these things may have happened, the voter needs to do more than just say that they happened. (3) The voter cannot afford a conduct point without any explanation. While it may seem obvious that the reason is the forfeit, the voter must state it directly.

Under this paradigm, hospitals seek to become green or "less bad" by recycling more, reducing energy, and supporting employee and patient wellness programs that reduce environmental footprints. These efforts either stand alone or run alongside operations or the executive suite. In contrast, over the past decades many businesses and corporations have not only been able to reduce their carbon footprint, but are now aspiring to do "more good" (increase human well-being). This concept is known as NET positive. This session will discuss cutting-edge sustainability concepts and make the case for a new health care business paradigm where hospitals embrace NET positivity and become leaders in delivering well-being to patients, employees, and community members.

While Dwayne Wayde's buddy and teammate LeBron James is gearing up to win gold at the 2012 London Olympics, Wayde's foot fettish is painting his toenails, most recently with Matte black paint.
Earlier this year, Wade had a huge birthday bash in Miami to celebrate his 30th birthday, with performances by Kelly Rowland, Common, T.I. and Rick Ross. Perhaps for his early midlife crisis, getting a $229K new sports car, a McLaren MP4-12C in Fire Black (a color he seems to like) is fitting. However, painting your toenails black? I know you just won a NBA championship, but really Dwayne?
Typically, when you think of black toenails in basketball players, you think of a bruised nail plate, or subungal hematoma in medical speak. The trauma of another player stepping on the toe or just your foot ramming into the end of the shoe can cause this common condition. If you have a mild case and only a small portion of your nail turns black, you stand a good chance of keeping your nail. However, if a large portion of the nail turns black, you may lose your nail. Typically, you'd lose your nail a few months after the event. Toenails take quite a big of time to grown back, plan on a year as a conservative estimate in growing from the base to the tip of the toe. If the condition is caught early enough, a podiatrist may be able to help keep the nail attached.
In my Tucson Podiatry Practice I see several black toenails. I'd say few are due to black nail polish as Dwayne Wade has been sporting lately. Most are due to either the bruising of the toe nails, very common in runners or other athletes. However, some black nails have a component of fungus. Yuck, I know! Typically, most people have poor results in treating nail fungus with topical treatments. Old school treatments involve removing the nail which can be painful, or taking a pill that can cause significant liver damage. However, there is a new treatment that you may not be aware of that involves using a laser to treat nail fungus.
To learn more, about common foot problems, get a copy of our free Got Feet? book today or schedule an appointment today. If you've got a funky looking toenail, various foot, ankle, or leg pain, contact Dr. Alan Shih at Head to Toe Healthcare, PLC. Tucson Podiatrist Dr. Shih will explain your situation to you and get you back on your feet.

New Yorker: Merger of the Century Makes a "Practical, Hardheaded Business" argument
From New Yorker Magazine:
After a week in which it looked like the Great American Way was closer to a suicide pact than a governing arrangement—with so many undemocratic choke points that the polity strangles—a whole new way of thinking about our domestic arrangements may be in order. A woman who has been held at gunpoint by her husband for a week, to suggest a situation with certain parallels, might want to get out of the relationship. Tea Party types, like abusive family members, may tend to ask whether we really think the neighbors have it any better. And so it seemed apropos when a friend passed on, the other day, a new book proposing that the answer to all of America's problems is not to blame Canada but to join it.
The book, called "Merger of the Century," is by Diane Francis, whose author bio tells us that she divides her time between Toronto, where she's a professor at Ryerson University's School of Management, and New York. Her argument isn't, as the title suggests, for a high-minded union in the name of democracy, it's for a practical, hardheaded business arrangement: "Like Google and Motorola, the US and Canada could combine to better meet competition and cope with shrinking markets … [they both] should understand that they are at the beginning of a long slow slide downward unless they change their attitudes and behavior." The U.S., she argues, though burdened by a too-big military and a too-bad health system, has remaining competitive advantages in its entrepreneurial culture and optimistic outlook—its excitability, in plain English. Canada has complementary competitive advantages in the stability of its banking system and the wealth of its resources—its unexcitability, in other words. Match American gee-whiz with Canadian let's-see, and it will produce a super country—rather like a marriage between a dull, stable person who owns a nice chunk of land and is looking for a little fun and a slightly crazed but still attractive one who needs some stability after a wild stretch.
Francis also makes the shrewd point that the two outlier regions in both countries—Quebec in Canada, and the American South—have been allowed to unduly distort the politics of both countries, with Quebec's suspicions tugging Canada hard to the left and the South's paranoias pulling the United States far to the right. The outliers, in this scheme, would be bypassed, or perhaps seduced: Quebec's tropism for America is famous, and the Quebecois might "overwhelmingly opt for the merger, as they did in 1988 with free trade, if only to get out from under English-Canadians." The South would see that the merger makes economic sense: "A major migration of Canadians would leave for America's warmer climates and lower living costs, and Canada's two million or so snowbirds would stay permanently in Florida, Arizona, California and other Sunbelt destinations if affordable health care was available." (Point hers, italics mine, and more to come on both.)

AIDS has become a weapon in the hands of fascists: Jack NicholsonDecember 12th, 2007 - 4:54 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Dec 12 (ANI): Oscar winner Jack Nicholson is accusing fascists of using sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS as a weapon to "repress sensuality".
The randy actor, who is said to have slept with 2000 women, believes that with the discovery of AIDS, the free world he loved so much came to an end.
"In my lifetime, from World War II on, life got freer and freer until herpes, then Aids. That was the end - ask any bar owner. Once this idea that you can die from sex got into people's heads, it became a weapon in the hands of stiff, erect, martinet father/parent fascists to repress sensuality, Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
"When you start doing that, society gets rigid, and social life as I knew it was over, fast. I loved that era, and it's gone. Everything is about infections now. Anybody under 30 has never known the freedom I knew. They're frightened. They have no idea about alternative lifestyles.
"Freedom's never been part of the air they breathe. Naturally, I reacted differently to this fear of freedom, because it's a fear of feeling. I'm not talking about being profligate with sex and drugs. Fear of freedom is a withholding of love, and it's unyielding," he added. (ANI)

YouTube Video Marketing
Employing a YouTube marketing strategy to boost profits or build your list is something more and more marketers are turning to every day.
Video marketing has become more common every single day. Countless on-line marketers have realized how valuable posting a video clip on YouTube (with a backlink to their own blog) is. Yet there are internet marketers who have rarely trying to market on YouTube.
Worse still, these online marketers have not actually thought about YouTube videos as a genuine alternative. But, no matter what your business, whatever sort of goods or services you need to promote, video marketing is one particular marketing technique that you cannot afford to disregard.
YouTube marketing and advertising is among the most effective growing means to generate income online. Plus, once you begin producing YouTube videos of your own, you can begin making money on this sizzling hot marketing method.
Need more tips and ideas about how to build your list and make money with YouTube and Videos, then go to Newbs Guide To Video Marketing which has a wide range of excellent video marketing tips and advice for video internet marketers. This video guide really opens the tricks and goes way beyond the couple of methods I have discussed here.
I create my videos in Microsoft PowerPoint with Camtasia, but you don't have to if you don't want to. You can record your self with a video clip digital camera, a web cam, or even a mobile phone. Then all you have to do is transfer them onto your computer and upload to YouTube. You might want to obtain a totally free video clip modifying device from the web so that you can edit your movies and include your web site URL at the base of the video.
Essentially, your videos should be presented to target audience and inspire them to post it on their websites. I would suggest that if you have an web based business, you can at the very least employ strategies for promoting your videos and building your list of subscribers.

i want to have sex with this guitar.. no not really but its damm cool 0_0
Fab man!
Make love not war, dudes.
Looking at your site brought to mind the Goya Rangemaster CQ I played all through the seventies. It was covered with Dutch corduroy completely covered in flowers of all sorts. It was an eye full and a great guitar. Since I sold mine in the eighties to pay for grad school I haven't seen another and days of searching the net have left a big blank except for one poor picture showing Jimi Hendrix playing one with a different design on it. I'm just dropping this message to see if anyone has ever seen one. An old Goya catalogue has a sample of the fabric pictured that is about 1'x 1'. I think if I could find one I'd buy it because it's probably my old one. Thanks
can i buy it?
wow thats an amazing guitar
i see all the info i need except the price!
ohhh my goosh can I have this guitar? please. I love her.
Where can this be purchased? I want one now..........price doesnt matter

Might be the most simple rice bowl that's only consisting 3 elements which are tender pork cutlet along with the half-cooked egg and fragrant rice. Even though the appearance not as fancy as the other, the flavor still on point. It's juicy, tender and delicious. If you order this menu, it will come together with some kind of side dishes include coleslaw and tofu. A complete meal is here.

The most healthiest rice bowl for everyone. A remarkable combination of the great amount of beef, sweet baby corn, fresh Korean bean sprouts, crunchy mixed nuts, beautifully cooked onsen egg, and semi-dried tomatoes that result in a high-end dish. If we getting insights, we will realize that this dish is really popular in Australia and they just adapt it beautifully. Just make sure to mixed every single component on that plate before you taste it. Read the full review here.

dogs on leash
nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
As of 6/3/17 The trail is closed at the west side. Start at Switzer picnic area instead of Millard Camp
Start on 6/3 The trail is closed at the west side. We tried to hit the trail at Switzer picnic area by starting at Millard camp via dawn mine and bear canyon camp. But we failed to find the route connecting bear camp to dawn mine though I saw some red ribbons there.
After turning around, we started again from switzer picnic area, camping in the bear canyon camp for the first day.
The second day we go from bear canyon camp to west fork camp. There scenery is beautiful near the redbox station. Many ladybugs are spotted on some logs. There are some fallen trees between vailey camp and west fork camp, but it is manageable.
For the third day, the section between west fork and Devore camp is a little hard to find the trail and more fallen trees. After Devore camp until spruce grove campground there are many many bugs. Bug head net is recommended.
Alltrails does not have Gabrielino Trail in its entire length??? Not if I can help it!

Faithfully discovering Christ and diligently obeying His Commision to all believers to share the Good News of Salvation for everyone. We accept the responsibility and accountability for the Gift of Salvation. We believe God has Divinely equipped every person uniquely to serve humanity and to worship God.
About Seventh-day Adventists:
Adventists believe a Trinity of three persons--the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit--make up one God. They made salvation possible when Jesus, the Son, came to earth as a baby in Bethlehem and lived a sinless life in accordance with the Father's will. When Jesus was crucified for the sins of the people of the world and arose from the dead on the third day, victory was won for everyone. As a Christian church, Seventh-day Adventists are a faith community rooted in the beliefs described by the Holy Scriptures. Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and hold certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. These beliefs, as set forth here, constitute the church's understanding and expression of the teaching of Scripture.

I am learning that California is pleasantly diverse and geologically quite remarkable. From volcanoes - both active and ancient, to earthquake geology to fossil beds to deep blue glacial lakes, scenic rugged coastlines, natural rock columns and towering granite domes and walls, California is one place I can spend many years exploring and still not be completely satisfied that I have seen it all. Here are our explorations thus far....

The Four Toughest Games
22 days until kickoff. Thank you, Jebus.
I see a lot of predictions from national outlets dismissing Michigan's chances in the big four games this year (Florida, @PSU, @Wisky, OSU). Lots of "maybe they pick off one, but they're too young." Instead of redundant talk about how they're Harbaugh's guys and youth won't matter, why are these games being dismissed as Michigan losses so early?
Florida-inept offense for four years running. Never ranking above 70 in offensive S&P. Defense returning only a handful of starters, without the same talent replenishment from years past. 15th in recruiting two years ago, which followed a 23rd ranking. Including the 41-7 bowl loss two years ago, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, and FSU all racked up 30-plus points.
PSU-Obviously, 49-10 last year. Barkley may be elite, but he hasn't been for two years against M. Who has been able to pass the ball on Michigan in the last two years? CU, which is a quick passing spread. RB wheel routes? Connor Cook laser accuracy? It's been a tough nut to crack. Without a good PSU OL, this is a defensive slugfest. Which leads me to...
Nobody is talking about how mediocre their defense is. 42 points to Pitt. 49 against Michigan. 31 against depleted Indiana. 31 against pedestrian Wisky. 52 against USC. Why are they highly regarded?
Wisconsin-How are they going to move the ball? Defense will probably be solid, but they've lost tons of playmakers that set that defense apart (Cichy, Watt, Biegel, Shelton). The only way I see this falling apart is an Iowa-esque performance. Given our record in Big Ten West road games (Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa), that's certainly possible.
OSU-Don't talk about them until after a few games in. I have no idea what to think with the turnover and coaching changes. All I know is I don't like them.

Savory Pan-Fried Chicken with Hot Sauce
This simple recipe is a revelation: It tastes as good as the old-school, supersavory chicken you'd get in a bucket.
How to Make It
Combine chicken and egg in a shallow dish; toss to coat. Combine flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and next 3 ingredients (through red pepper) in a shallow dish; dredge chicken in flour mixture. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken; cook 5 minutes on each side or until browned and done. Drain chicken on a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; top with hot sauce.

Well, if you checked out my last blog post, you will know that Macy's already has their stores decked out for the holidays. This got me thinking about all the men I see coming into my store several days before Christmas looking for a special gift for their wives or girlfriends. This year, I'm hoping to get you all thinking about your holidays or even birthday jewelry presents early so that you can take the time to pick out a truly unique piece that your lady is sure to love.
In my previous guide, I discussed pendants. In this guide, I am switching the focus to bracelets. I am going to present to you a wide variety of options and suggestions. When look at these, try to think about what style would best suit your girlfriend or wife. If you are stumped, take a photo of some of the jewelry she usually wears and bring it in to me. That will help me figure out the style she is most likely to love.
Up until about two decades ago, pretty much the only bracelets requested by both men and women were diamond tennis bracelets. This is because the tennis bracelet was made popular, and actually named after, Chris Everett, who wore that style bracelet while playing tennis. Tennis bracelets are still very popular, but many are now made with a more modern twist. In addition, the selection of bracelets is no longer limited to diamonds. Multi-stone and two toned bracelets are becoming more and more popular. I'm going to show you a sample of the designs that are commonly requested by our customers.
- This is the traditional diamond tennis bracelet. The one pictured is 1.00ct tw and is set in 14K white gold. This is an example of the elegant and classic tennis bracelet. These are truly timeless. What women most love about them is that they can be worn with jeans or to a black tie affair. They are versatile and beautiful. I have always felt that every women should own at least one traditional diamond tennis bracelet.
- Bangle bracelets have always been a popular holiday and birthday go-to gift. They have always been a staple in most women's jewelry cases. However, over the past three years or so, there has been a trend to include stones in the bracelets as shown here. These bracelets are popular in either white gold, yellow gold, or sterling silver. The nice thing about them is they can be layered. Wearing yellow and white gold bangles together is very trendy, and the gemstone bangles are very eye catching when worn like this. The bracelet pictured has multiple gemstones in it, but bangle can be made with only one gemstone, or even no gemstones. Bangles are typically more casual bracelets, but we have created some stunning custom bangles that were certainly designed more for dressier occasions.
- This bracelet is a sort of twist on the traditional diamond tennis bracelet. It is still encircled in diamonds as you can see, but with sapphires set in it as well. Keep in mind that the stone other than diamond does not have to be sapphire. Many people choose to use their significant other's birthstone. Or, for a truly unique and custom gift, you can use the birthstones of the members of your family as the accent stones.
- Cuff bracelets truly are all the rage right now. These are dramatic pieces that can often stand alone without the need for other heavy jewelry or accessories. One thing to keep in mind with cuffs is that if your significant other is extremely petite and small boned, this style can look a little overwhelming on her. You want her to wear the jewelry, not the other way around. Some examples of cuff bracelets include this stainless steel hammered cuff on the left. After seeing this, you will likely understand what I mean about taking the size of the woman into account. I like diamond cuffs as well, as they are modern and unique and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This black and white diamond stunner is one of my favorites. It is eye catching and gives off an amazing sparkle. Finally, cuffs are being designed in more modern styles incorporating trends such as the colored gemstone. I always enjoy modern asymmetrical designs, so this one is obviously a favorite of mine.
- Cultured pearl bracelets are also very popular and come in a variety of styles. Many people don't think of pearls as a typical bracelet stone. I have had many customers tell me that pearls are something their grandmother wears. However, their opinion generally changes quickly once they get a look at some of the more modern pearl styles such as this one.
- Beaded stretch bracelets are another popular option. These are often a nice idea for a couple who is not yet engaged, but is still in a committed relationship. Stones typically used in these bracelets are called Tiger's Eye, and they come in a variety of colors. These can be worn alone or layered, making them versatile pieces.
- Link bracelets are still very popular and highly requested items. These bracelets, similar to bangles, are pretty much a staple that most women can never get enough of. There are so many variations of the link bracelet. The design shown here is a modern take on the link bracelet. Keep in mind that bracelets can be tailored to your budget and needs. This particular bracelet is sterling silver, but it still looks exceptional.
- One of my favorite new designs are the knot style bracelets such as this one. There are necklaces to match, and this classic style can be worn with casual wear or dressy wear.
I could literally go on for days about different types of bracelets. The possibilities truly are endless.
You might also consider an inscription as another way to make your holiday or birthday jewelry gift that much more special. Brad Pitt is rumored to have proposed to Angelina Jolie with a ring inscribed with something that only has meaning to the two of them. Of course, the entire world wants to know what was written, but the fact that it has special meaning for only the two of them makes the ring that much more special. We would have no problem adding an inscription to a bracelet or other jewelry, and we've had some customers come up with some very creative ideas. In my experience, inscription is a beautiful way to show the woman you love that you put extra thought into planning her gift.
As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Are there any bracelets you'd like to see more of? Which ones do you like and which can you do without? I make every effort to respond to comments quickly. If you'd like to discuss designing or buying a bracelet for an upcoming birthday or holiday gift, please call me 312-920-0075. My goal is to design a piece that both you and your significant other will love and cherish for years.

Cranberry extract extract Sriracha Strata It's a great arrangement every day except thanksgiving holiday holiday, As the forces of Michael's tidiness and his long term disaffection with turkey collide, And he offers every leftover morsel of the bird and its padding.
He leaving the apples, However he likes them, And the cranberry extract extract sauce, Because what exactly I like. Other than these two bundles in the chiller, When dunkle Friday is upon you, You would not know there was a Thanksgiving feast at our house. No leftovers seemed a small property for 364 days of clean dishes, Any time I started making my own locations. While all of America was out shopping and heading back home to cold turkey snacks, I was grilling a turkey breast. Definite, I was always a day the bed, black friday deals But it did actually see perfectly: It led to I could make this savory turkey and cranberry strata for brunch on Saturday or Sunday. Turkey tucked into diffrent was always at ease with Michael, And turkey strata ized is around OK. A strata is various a bread pudding and a French toast casserole: Ratios, In addition strata, Of bakery, Layers of something tasty and an egg and cream(Ish) Custard to cling it all up. Might be prepped hours, If doesn't meam they are a day, Ahead and can be chilled right away. It bakes harmoniously, Completely un-mended, And delay pills work well warm or at room temperature. There's little that's easier or more readily fitted into a busy weekend. Michael's grievance about turkey is they are bland. There's not any worrying about this strata, Since it is certainly not bland. With regard to, The initial-Time I made it I went too far on the hot sauce, And previously it had completely fiery! There are numerous ways I layer my strata: First comes the bread don't very impressed that must be cinnamon raisin. black friday deals laptops It's nice to have sweet taste and spice with the heat. Then there may be a layer of baby greens spinach, Kale or arugula for a touch of out and out aggression. Until it fully gone, It's dollops of cranberry extract extract sauce(I've added in a recipe for a quick and so excellent sauce, In case you may want to any left over); Snowing conditions the rocks, Chunks or shreds of hen; And sharp cheddar what's a cookie sheet with out little gooeyness? There is a simple repeat set of layers and then more bread to cap it. Brethren custard, It's a unique mix of eggs, Half too as half as well Sriracha, Tempered all yourself taste. The strata needs a two quart baking dish may likely go from freezer or fridge to oven. It is usually 9 by 8 inch roasted pan, A square pan or maybe a round souffle dish, In which particular case you will have more layers. Whichever size it is, You'll want to wear it a lined baking sheet, As drips are inescapable. Whole berry cranberry sauce is the perfect solution here; The jellied kind is too hard-to-find. If someone makes your own, It may need less than 10 minutes. My recipe is for a cranberry sauce this may not be very sweet; Any questions add more sugar or drizzle in some honey or maple syrup. I like Sriracha internal custard, But you may your own hot sauce or chili sauce. Or mix in a smallish adobo within a can of chipotle chilies. You may add a little chopped chipotle to the cranberry sauce. Ensure that you give this a long rest in the wine cooler fridge. The bread requires to be completely condensed for the strata to be delish. You could serve this cold and warm, But I think the dish is best when it's warm or at room high cold and warm hotness. When have to see any more turkey leftovers but you're still craving this, Use roast chook very, Or morph it correct meatless strata. Wishing you all a happy and scrumptious thanksgiving holiday holiday and an equally happy and scrumptious next day and day after that, Expensive. It takes can be 10 minutes to make. For leftovers that are that adheres to that already, You're killing the adventure. The assembled strata needs to be under refrigeration for not less than 6 hours and up to overnight. Uncover and let it sit at room warm range while the oven preheats. The baked strata can be under refrigeration for approximately one 2 days. Saltless butter, During which baking dish 14 to 16 pieces sugar-Sugar-cinnamon raisin bread(About a completely 1 pound loaf of Pepperidge Farm Raisin Cinnamon Swirl) 1 based in 2(Grouped connected) Cups baby kale or baby inexperienced kale 1 to 1 1/2 cups homespun or pre-Assembled whole cranberry black friday appliances extract sauce(See to know) About 2 cups remaining roasted turkey cubes 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded brilliant cheddar 3 in 4 tbsps Sriracha(May choose a few dashes of hot sauce for lower heat) Lightly grease the medial of a 2 quart roasted pan or a deep 8 by 9 inch Pyrex baking dish with butter. Spot the pan on a baking sheet lined with parchment, Foil or a silicon boat Cut each slice of bread diagonally which you can 2 triangles, Then cut it diagonally in the other leaving 4 triangles. Position about one third of the bread on the foot of the pan, Leaving space regarding the triangles. (You lack a solid layer of bread.) Cover the bread with half of the greens and dollop on half of the cranberry extract extract sauce, Again not pores and skin a full and smooth layer. Spread half of the turkey on the greens, Then cover with gamestop black friday half through the cheese. Season nicely with salt and spice up. Repeat with extra layer of bread(Use half of the rest of the bread) And all of what's left greens, Cranberry extract extract sauce, Game hen and parmesan mozzarella dairy product. Season with salt and boost, And top the casserole with the rest of the bread triangles. Whisk made the half and half, Kids and Sriracha(To non-public preference); Season with salt and add spice to.
Little by little pour this mixture over the strata. Certainly cover the top layer of bread a infrequently messy job, Because the liquid might seep over the edges of the pan and have it trickle down evenly to the foot of the pan. Once all of mixture is in, Gently press the layers down together with spatula or fork.
