- n. A part or decoration of the breastplate of the high priest among the ancient Jews, by which Jehovah revealed his will on certain occasions. Its nature has been the subject of conflicting conjectures.
from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- Certain objects mentioned in the Old Testament, with the thummim (Ex. xxviii. 30, etc.) or alone (Num. xxvii. 21; 1 Sam. xxviii. 6), as connected with the rational, or breastplate of the Jewish high priest, and with oracular responses given by him.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
+ '~en. ki'urim'and'thummin'~ja.tile'YAHWEH'satellite'node'zionic'reliqueing'list'
You deny him the companionship of ladies and lock him in a room with another young guy and you're just asking them to slip each other the ol' urim and thummim.
Sometimes they addressed themselves to the seer and prophet; and you may believe that the seer and prophet discovered the most hidden things, as well as the urim and thummim of the high priest.
Sometimes they went to the high priest, who immediately consulted God by the urim and thummim.
"Keeping warm, Lonya?" he asked a thin woman who roasted urim nuts on a small stove all day long.
He is our captain, our leader, our high priest, urim and thummim, our oracle, our ark, on whom the cloud of direction rests and abides for ever.
That is, the vestment of the high priest, with the urim and thummim, by which the Lord gave his oracle.
The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 09: 1 Kings The Challoner Revision
Here we shall attempt to only describe one piece of the dress of the high priest, the breast-plate (rationale); a gorget, ten inches square, made of the same sort of cloth as the ephod, and doubled so as to form a kind of pouch or bag, in which was to be put the urim and thummim, which are also mentioned as is already known.
It belonged to him also to manifest the Divine will made known to him by means of the urim and thummim, a method of consulting the Lord about which we have very little knowledge.
There was much precious gold-work and many valuable stones scattered through the numerous cases, but those wonderful twelve which made up the urim and thummim glowed and burned with a radiance which far eclipsed the others.

GEORGETOWN – Using Ramadan as a platform to get the society to do good by giving alms, an animal lover organised a programme called "#ProjekKucingGelandangan" (#HomelessCatProject) to get the society to contribute to feed stray cats.
Zeti Norin Omar, 32, said she started the project on the first day of Ramadan, being it the month of mercy and generosity.
"During the non-fasting month, many people feed these stray cats, especially at food courts, but in Ramadan, there is no food during the day for these cats.
"So, we encourage the people to sponsor a bag of food for RM50, which I will distribute to 'feeders' who will then feed the cats," she told Bernama here.
Zeti Norin said she had so far raised funds for 15 packets of cat food under the programme.
Her 'feeders' under the programme are at Bayan Baru, Relau, Balik Pulau, Batu Maung, Air Itam and Jelutong.
Their job is to feed the stray cats at least twice daily, she added.
Zeti Norin said those keen to become a feeder or contribute to the project could obtain further information at the Facebook account of Zetty Petzilla Cat KuchentaCattery.
Meanwhile, a feeder, Surena Md Daud, 43, said she was used to being called names, like "mak kucing", "gila kucing" and "meow meow", because of her love for cats.
Surena, who has a 14-year-old son, said she started becoming a cat feeder 10 years ago.
She said she prepared two to three kilogrammes of raw fish daily to be fed to stray cats at the Sri Aman Complex, Relau near here.
"I set aside about RM500 a month to buy fish and 'whiskas' (cat food) for stray cats," she added. – BERNAMA

We've seen over a hundred people come through the door now in service of the idea of re-animating the Zone and I want to thank them properly in the best way I know how. By exhibiting their artwork to big houses, full of enormously entertaining people who are enthusiastic about art and performance, rowdy motherfuckers who laugh too long and scream too loud but bring the energy to a BOIL.
In short, YOU. In the front row. Putting the EEK in our weekend!
Tickets for this magnificent beast of a show are on sale now for all performances at www.FZ6D.com or head over to www.SacredFools.org and the result shall be the same. You and your fellows will have money extracted (as if by magic!) from your private pirate accounts and entry will be permitted for a short while to the riotous pleasure and exquisite pain of the Sixth Dimension.
The work over the past many weeks with our cast, our musicians, our crew, our technical staff, our designers, and our producers and gracious director has been easily the most fun and inspirational work I've done in the happiest circumstances with the greatest amount of talent gathered under one roof in my life in art. This little clown show proves to be made of the new element Operanium, and is dementedly touching while remaining terrifyingly sexy and salaciously horrible. You all have my eternal love for your devotion to art.

Author's Blog 003
We are four days away from opening. Where does the time go?! It's doubly amazing for me considering that my script started out as a paper log of subtitle transcriptions for the black and white DVD release and has evolved into the living, breathing creature of wonder and chaos that we will loose upon the world in mere days. I am absolutely astounded at the amount of work that's been done on this show by the amazing cast and crew, Scott Leggett, all of the designers, and I can't thank Sacred Fools, Richard Elfman and Jack Murphy enough for giving me the chance to play in the 6th Dimension. I'm equal parts anxious and excited right this second, but that being said: I can't wait to see this thing in front of a live audience.

As if yesterday's heavy rain did not make Interstate 95 hazardous enough, a piece of a metal joint came loose from the concrete in the southbound lanes of the highway and disabled about 25 cars near the Route 32 exit, state police said.
No one was seriously injured, and there were no crashes, said Trooper Anthony Williams of the Waterloo barracks.
Williams said a jagged shard of metal about 4 inches thick and 3 feet long came loose about 3 p.m. and projected about 6 inches into the air in the second lane from the left.
The piece of metal punctured the rear left tires of the majority of cars involved.
Many of the remaining cars were disabled after striking the metal because the vehicles' computer systems interpreted the blow as an accident and automatically cut off the fuel flowing into the engine, Williams said.
The lane was shut down for almost three hours as road crews tore out the piece of metal and replaced it with tar-like material, Williams said.

Five-star recruit enjoys hanging with Florida's All-SEC cornerback
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — From one five-star cornerback to another, Florida's Jalen Tabor made an impression this weekend on Under Armour All-American Kristian Fulton.
The first team All-SEC cornerback hosted Fulton on his official visit to UF.
"I had a good time," Fulton said of his trip. "Jalen Tabor was a great host. Chilling with him was my favorite part of the trip. He let me know everything I needed to know."
The Gators got the last crack at Fulton, the nation's No. 2-ranked cornerback, who also visited Arkansas and LSU this month. His parents joined him on his trip to Gainesville.
"My mom and dad came with me and they liked Florida," Fulton said. "I think this visit helped a lot with them."
Would his parents let him leave Louisiana for UF?
"It would be tough, but they'll be OK with it," Fulton said.
Gators coach Jim McElwain told Fulton playing time is available for him in 2016.
"There's a chance to come in and see the field," Fulton said of their conversation. "They lost quite a few players in the secondary. He knows it's not going to be easy to leave home, so he let me and my family know I'll be taken care of if I go to Florida."
The 6-foot, 177-pounder plans to announce his decision on National Signing Day.
Bro Tabor the coolest dude I met… Remind me of myself dawg that's crazy?

Chester Zoo is holding its first ever 'Ape Week' as part of a European-wide effort to conserve apes and their habitats.
The event - taking place simultaneously throughout Europe - will see our closest relations in the animal kingdom take centre stage.
The week is in support of the EAZA Ape Campaign - coordinated by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria - and aims to raise awareness of, and funds for, the conservation of the likes of gibbons, orangutans, chimpanzees and bonobos. Almost all ape species are either Endangered or Critically Endangered, according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Chester Zoo has pledged to raise at least €9,999 for the cause, which also aims to make a significant and lasting difference to the continued survival of apes.
Throughout Ape Week at Chester Zoo there will be a special opportunity to meet the Primate Keepers and learn all about the likes of gibbons, orangutans, chimpanzees and bonobos (everyday 11:00 – 11:45) and visitors will also have the chance to 'Ape Around' - with touch tables, face painting, information boards, stalls and games (14:30 - 16:00).
Ape Week takes place at Chester Zoo between Monday 18th and Friday 22nd April. Normal admission applies during opening hours 10am-6pm. Click here for more information.

Even in the offseason, Jim Harbaugh is a lightning rod.
He has everyone talking, talking about his top-five recruiting class, talking about his unorthodox methods — from sleeping over at recruits' homes to attending classes with them to sending one a homemade cake to climbing a tree to impress another — and talking, according to some critics, about his bailing on early commitments because better players became available.
"He's one of the preeminent personalities in college football," Scout.com recruiting analyst Brian Dohn said in a phone interview.
Approaching his first full recruiting cycle, Harbaugh has Michigan close to the top of most lists, with highly rated prospects expected to put pen to paper on Wednesday, National Signing Day, from one coast to the other.
Of late, the 52-year-old Harbaugh has been criticized for the amount of players — five — who have decommitted in the last week. There is only one day a prospect can sign. Verbal commitments are non-binding, for players and coaches. Kids will often continue to take visits, despite committing to a school. One of the players who decommitted, three-star defensive tackle Rashad Weaver of Florida, said in a statement on Twitter on Monday, the staff stopped reaching out to him and he was told by Harbaugh there was a 50/50 chance he would have a scholarship for him on signing day.
Around that time, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio and recruiting coordinator Curtis Blackwell both tweeted: "The righteous shall prevail," though Dantonio quickly deleted it.
Harbaugh talked to Michigan reporters this week, saying "it's a meritocracy," meaning early commits have to continue to perform on the field and in the classroom to validate their scholarship.
"I don't hide from that at all and I won't," Harbaugh said. "That's what we demand."
Dohn and Mike Farrell, Rivals.com's national recruiting analyst, said the system needs to be fixed by creating an early signing period, as exists in college basketball. After all, this has been going on for years, at a number of different schools.
"Pete Carroll ran kids off. Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher [did too]," Farrell said. "Every great coach has had to back off a commitment — whether for academic reasons, character reasons, injury reasons, they weren't developing properly. I've seen 50 percent of classes wind up elsewhere. It's all coming at the end of the cycle, which is leading to criticism. It's the timing.
"But everybody pays attention to recruiting the last three weeks [before signing day]. Coaches can't comment on a kid, so you're only going to hear one side of the story."
Harbaugh's recruiting style also has come into question. He went to class with California four-star defensive tackle Boss Tagaloa, and slept over at Arizona four-star defensive end Connor Murphy's home. Neither player has committed to Michigan, however, or is expected to sign with the Wolverines. Harbaugh also spent the night with Quinn Nordin, the top-ranked kicker in the country, and slept in the guest room. They talked until 2 a.m., and had pancakes the next morning with the entire family. Harbaugh wanted to go sledding in the Nordin's backyard, but they didn't have time before getting to school.
"He's willing to do anything to get a recruit on board," said Nordin, who has decommitted from Penn State and has Michigan in his final five. "He wants to win and that's what it's about.
"It got to show me who he was a person and what his core values are."
Some feel uncomfortable with the practice of middle-aged football coach staying over a recruit's home. One college coach, speaking on a condition of anonymity, said he never would do it, and doesn't expect any others to follow.
Farrell said he thinks "it's ridiculous," and said he believes the NCAA will put a stop to it. If that doesn't happen, however, Dohn expects other coaches to mimic Harbaugh, whether it is staying over a player's home or joining them in class.
"To me, he's setting the bar for people," Dohn said. "He's creative. These are kids who are impressionable. Kids are thinking, 'This is how much this guy wants me to play at his school.' Everybody looks at it as going to class or sleeping over. It's building a relationship. He's doing it in a way people haven't done it before."
Harbaugh's staff has done its best work in New Jersey, already securing four of the state's top-eight prospects — highlighted by early enrollee Kareem Walker of DePaul Catholic, the sixth-ranked running back in the country, according to Rivals.com, who was once committed to Ohio State — and could wind up with the nation's No. 1 overall prospect, defensive tackle Rashan Gary of Paramus Catholic.
There are a variety of reasons for his success in the Garden State, from the presence of former Paramus Catholic coach Chris Partridge, Michigan's linebackers coach, to rising junior defensive back Jabrill Peppers, a two-time state champion who grew up with Walker and attended the same high school as Gary.
"They're like bulldogs," DePaul Catholic associate head coach Brian Murray said. "They want a guy, they're coming after him. If you're working 20 hours a week, they're working 24."
The biggest takeaway, to those who have come across Harbaugh, is how personable he is. He has been to the highest level of football — playing in an AFC Championship game and coaching in a Super Bowl — and yet, he is able to connect with kids, coaches and their parents. The day after getting the job, Harbaugh placed a phone call to Brad Hawkins Sr., whose son Brad Jr. of Camden High School is one of New Jersey's top wide receivers and will sign with Michigan on Wednesday.
"We were on the phone for exactly 27 minutes. For 22 minutes, he talked to me about life and school, didn't mention football at all," Hawkins Sr. said. "Everything about the conversations with him was just different [from other coaches]."
Lost among his quirky recruiting practices and whether or not he has run kids off for more talented ones is what he already has accomplished at Michigan in a little bit over a year. On the field, he turned the program from a laughingstock the season before his arrival into one of the best teams in the Big Ten, and now he may be adding the No. 1 recruiting class in the country.
So far, he has been worth every bit of the seven-year contract that pays him roughly $5 million annually — even when games aren't being played.

William is particularly concerned that children, and parents, learn the right answers early on, so they can form great and long-lasting habits. A knowledgeable cyclist always gets the most out of his or her bicycle, safely. In this video, William shares a few quick tips on how to stay safe while cycling in your community.
Quick Tips to Remember:
- Your bicycle is a vehicle - respect other vehicles on the road.
- Obey the rules of the road - obey road signs and stop at red lights.
- Ride in a straight line on the right hand side of the road.
- Look straight ahead when riding; anticipate danger.
- Ride in the same direction as traffic, usually one metre from the curb or from parked cars.
- Always signal properly, look both ways, and do a shoulder check before turning or moving out from a stopped position.
- Stay relaxed but keep pedalling.
- Wear your helmet every time you ride. It's the law for those under eighteen years of age. Change your helmet every two to three years. Fifty dollars is a small investment for your head.
- Also required by law: reflector tape, a horn or bell, and lights and reflectors.
- Use a rack or basket, a water bottle and cage, and footwear that protects your toes.
- Buy a bike that fits you.
- Always check your bike before you ride: tires, brakes, handlebars, chain and crank, and your wheels' quick release.
Young Cyclist Guide
Check out this Ministry of Transportation guide, published in cooperation with the Ontario Cycling Association, for great information and tips on cycling safety.
CAA Bike Assist
CAA has introduced CAA Bike Assist which is roadside assistance for your bicycle. If you run into a problem that cannot be fixed on the spot, CAA will transport you and your bicycle to wherever you need to go. It is available as part of your membership 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
If you have any specific questions about your bike and particular safety concerns, ask William and he will make sure you return to the road with the right answers.

Atlanta almost scored as many runs Monday as it had in its previous four games combined. But might an outburst like that just set the Braves up for a fade Tuesday night?
Dodgers-Braves Tuesday Betting Odds
In the early betting the best line we could find on LA and Brett Anderson was the -135 offered at YouWager, while Atlanta and fellow lefty Alex Wood were getting +128 at GT Bets. And every shop on our MLB odds board was listing a total on tonight's game of 7.5 runs, with most of the grease leaning toward the UNDER.
The Situation
Atlanta took the opener of this series Monday night 7-5. The Braves led early 4-0, allowed LA to tie the score at 4-4, then pulled away with a run in the bottom of the fifth and two in the sixth.
The Dodgers put guys on first and second with nobody out in the top of the eighth, but Atlanta LF Eury Perez threw out Adrian Gonzalez at the plate to stifle that rally. LA then loaded the bases with none out in the ninth, but Howie Kendrick hit into a double play.
The Braves are now 25-19 at home this season, while Los Angeles is 20-24 on the road.
Big-picture, at 44-49 Atlanta sits seven games back in the NL East race, and six games back in the battle for the second National League wild-card spot.
At 53-41 LA leads the NL West by 3.5 games over second-place San Francisco.
These teams have split four games this season, with three of those games playing OVER.
Tuesday's Twirlers
Wood (6-6, 3.76), by our strict standards, is just six-for-18 on quality starts this season, and 0 for his last two. Nine days ago he got bombed by Colorado for seven runs in less than six innings, and that was working on eight days rest, after leaving his previous start after just two pitches, due to rain. For the season Wood has allowed 123 hits through 105 innings, walked 30 and struck out 80.
Atlanta is 7-11 in Wood's starts, with the totals leaning OVER by a 9-7 margin.
In two career starts against Los Angeles, including a winning effort back in May, Wood held them to two runs through 14 innings; the Braves split those two games, while both games played UNDER.
Anderson (5-5, 3.17) is nine-for-18 on quality starts, and five for his last six. Nine days ago he held Milwaukee to three runs through seven innings, and over his last six starts he's allowed 11 earned runs through 40 innings (2.48 ERA). On the season Anderson has allowed 112 hits through 108 innings, walked 28 and struck out 77.
The Dodgers are 10-8 in Anderson's starts, with the totals leaning UNDER 10-8.
In his only career start against Atlanta, back in May, Anderson held them to two runs through seven innings of a 6-3 Los Angeles victory.
Tuesday's Batting Splits
Los Angeles ranks 13th in the Majors this season against left-handed pitching with a .251 team batting average, and sixth with a .326 team on-base percentage.
Atlanta, meanwhile, ranks 26th against lefties with a .231 average and 23rd with a .303 team OBP.
Ballpark Totals Factor
Games played at Turner Field are 23-18 on the OVERS this season, averaging 8.1 runs.
Injury Update
Atlanta is playing without 1B Freddie Freeman (12 HR, .367 OBP), who's on the DL with a bad wrist, and recently lost closer Jason Grilli (24 saves) for the season to a torn Achilles.
LA, meanwhile, just placed catcher AJ Ellis on the DL with a sore ankle.
Dodgers-Braves Tuesday Free Picks
We'll give Anderson the check mark in the pitching match-up, and LA also owns edges with the sticks and in the bullpen. We like the Dodgers for tonight. And because we like to take chances we'll take the visitors on the run line. Also, we could easily see this game getting to 5-3, so we're thinking OVER.
MLB Picks: Los Angeles +125 on the run line at Just Bet and OVER 7.5 runs (+102) at Pinnacle

The St. Thomas Aquinas College women's basketball team, ranked #22 in this week's national poll, rolled to an 86-54 triumph over Caldwell University at Aquinas Hall. The Lady Spartans remain perfect at 6-0 on the season, with Caldwell falling to 5-2. STAC had won its first five games in each of the past two seasons, but this time they were able to capture victory number six in decisive fashion.
Entering the game, the Lady Spartans were ranked #3 in the East Region in the D2SIDA weekly poll, with Caldwell coming in at #5. Defense dominated early as neither team scored until Alex Bertolino hit a jumper to give STAC the lead after more than three minutes elapsed. Julia Winnick's three-pointer highlighted a 7-0 run and Emily Preston added her first trey as the hosts gained some separation with a 20-11 lead as the end of the first quarter.
A Bertolino three opened the gap to 30-17, and St. Thomas Aquinas continued to stifle the Cougars on the defensive end, taking a commanding 42-22 lead through 20 minutes. Caldwell's offense started to get in gear after the break, but the Lady Spartans had an answer each time, with the gap never drawing closer than 18 points as STAC cruised to a dominant victory.
Contributions were abundant for the home team, with Jenna Erickson leading all scorers with 19 points. Emily Preston chipped in with 13, and Zaria Thomas, Chelsea Murphy and Adiya Henderson had eight each. Henderson also grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds to go with four blocks. Karlie O'Driscoll was the high scorer for Caldwell with 12.
The Lady Spartans will now start the East Coast Conference portion of the schedule and, in a quirk of the schedule, have played their last home game of the calendar year, with the next six contests being on the road. On Saturday, December 2, STAC travels to Roberts Wesleyan for their ECC opener, then heading to Daemen on December 8. Their travels include Saint Rose, Molloy, Southern Connecticut and Pace before a return to Aquinas Hall against Mercy College on Wednesday, January 3, 2018.

How Good-Cop, Bad-Cop Parenting Can Harm Children
By Eirian Hallinan
Anyone who has grown up in a household with two parents knows that one parent tends to be easier than the other when it comes to getting their way. This is usually the result of one parent being more comfortable as the disciplinarian than the other. While this can create a nice balance in some cases, a recent study has found that this good-cop, bad-cop parenting can have a negative impact when the difference in parenting is extreme.
The Study
A study published in the journal, Social Science and Medicine, followed 451 two-parent families of children in the seventh grade in 1989. The parents and children first filled out a series of questionnaires on the family's economic status and personalities. During a second visit which took place within 2 weeks, researchers videotaped the families while they interacted and used the information from the videos and questionnaires to rate each parent as either warm or harsh.
Researchers followed up with the children at age 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, and 20 and recorded their body mass index (BMI), and asked them about their overall physical state.
The results showed that harsh parenting led to poor physical health and a higher BMI in adolescents, which isn't really all that surprising. What was surprising was that having the warmth from the second parent didn't make a significant difference in the child's self-reported physical health or their BMI, and actually seemed to make things worse.
One guess as to why this happens is that inconsistency at home can cause children stress. Chronic stress has been linked to excess hormones and inflammation, poor health, and obesity.
Chronic Stress in Children
Stress is often perceived as an adult problem, but children, even those as young as preschool age, can suffer from chronic stress.
A yearly survey by the American Psychological Association (APA) included a survey for young people in 2010. The results of the survey were shocking and showed that many children suffer from chronic stress, many of them listing seeing their parent's stress as the reason.
Chronic stress was also found to have a significant impact on their physical and emotional health. Almost one third of children reported that they'd experienced health problems in the previous month that are often related to stress:
- 38 percent said they had trouble falling asleep or staying asleep through the night
- 33 percent reported having headaches
- 31 percent had experienced upset stomach in that time
These numbers were higher in children who were overweight.
It was also found that overweight children were more likely to report that their parents were often or always stressed in the previous month. The report also noted that overweight or obese children and adults had a tendency to feel stress more often, showing again the impact that stress can have on their weight and health.

With Apple seemingly taking its cues from the jailbreak
community for the latest update to iOS 7 coming this fall, how many people are
having second thoughts about jail breaking their respective iDevices?
I once thought long and hard about doing this myself, mainly
because I liked the idea of fully customizing my mobile experience, choosing a new icon theme seemed like a nice option to
have and adding different tweaks to make the phone function differently was tempting
as well.
Now with control center allowing me to get to certain
settings quickly, multitasking offering a full page preview, 3d wallpapers and
the whole new parallax phenomena, is this enough to keep most people from
joining the jailbreak community?
I will probably not even consider doing this now, mainly
because I like a stable OS and having experienced jail breaking an iPhone for
testing purposes, I found that the more tweaks or changes I made the more unstable
it became.
The more features we get the more and more we want,
developers out there will always be thinking up new and creative ways to get things done on our phones and tablets. While
most people I believe are content with a stock OS experience and don't mind
waiting for Apple to finish polishing their newest features, some folks will
choose to dive in early, bugs and all to experience the latest innovations.
One thing does seem to be clear with this newest version of
iOS, Apple is getting better at closing
the gap of wanted features, which the jailbreak community and other mobile
operating systems have had for a while.
Although certain things like widgets or multiple user accounts
still elude us, my hope is Apple is polishing and/or coming up with better ways
to introduce and implement these functions in the future. I'm pretty certain the newest stock version of
iOS coming this fall will please many more users than disappoint.
What say you? Let us know know in the comments below.

Temperatures have fallen in the Toronto area. The days are shorter. There's a pervasive feeling that autumn is over and winter will be arriving shortly. Along with the nip in the air, there's also a festive feeling as holiday displays appear in shop windows and the malls fill with the sound of carols. There might not be any snow on the ground yet but Toronto is ready to celebrate the holidays. Parades, tree lighting ceremonies, shopping, skating, and holiday shows: there are Christmas events in Toronto for every family to enjoy.
The Santa Claus Parade
Updated for the 2017 season
The holiday season in Toronto kicks off each year with the Santa Claus Parade. The parade has been a tradition in Toronto for well over 100 years and is the longest running children's parade in the world. Animated floats, marching bands, celebrity clowns, costumed participants, and of course, Jolly Old St. Nicholas, make their way through the streets of downtown Toronto past cheering crowds. Thousands of Torontonians line the streets to watch the parade each year and the event is also televised for viewers who can't make it out in person.

Tree Lighting Ceremonies
Another celebration early in the holiday season in Toronto is the Cavalcade of Lights which includes a tree lighting ceremony for the city's official Christmas Tree in Nathan Phillips Square. In addition to the tree lighting, the festive event includes performances by musicians, a fireworks show, and an outdoor skating party at the Nathan Phillips Square ice rink outside City Hall.
Holiday Shopping
Since 2010, the European-style Toronto Christmas Market has provided Torontonians with the opportunity to experience the old-world charm of a traditional market during the weeks leading up to Christmas. The market takes place in the city's historic Distillery District and features a massive tree and magical lighting, family-friendly entertainment, delicious food and baked goods, as well as charming market stalls selling local handcrafted items.
Holiday Fair in Nathan Phillips Square, held for the first time in 2016, returns this year and is fast becoming another Toronto holiday tradition. In addition to the ever popular skating at the rink in Nathan Phillips Square, visitors can now enjoy the Holiday Fair which combines the charm of a Christmas market with the fun of a winter carnival including the Holly Jolly Midway rides. Santa Claus makes an appearance at the Fair on weekends and guests can take their own photos with him in exchange for a small donation to Epilepsy Toronto.
The One of a Kind Christmas Show and Sale is ideal for shoppers looking for unique hand-crafted Christmas gifts. The show, held at Exhibition Place late November/early December, is the largest consumer craft show in North America and features handmade designs by over 800 artisans from Canada and the United States.
Check for hotel availability in Toronto
There are several holiday entertainment options in the city for families as well. The National Ballet of Canada's production of The Nutcracker premiered in Toronto in 1995 and has been delighting audiences each year since. Nutcracker Story Time also takes place 45 minutes prior to each performance at the Four Seasons Centre and is designed to familiarize children with the story before watching the ballet.
Families looking for more rambunctious entertainment will be delighted with Ross Petty Production's English-style pantomime performed at the Elgin Theatre each year. These fractured fairy-tales are fun for everyone in the family with a blend of comedy, music, pop culture references, and audience participation.
Museums and Other Attractions
Christmas is the most magical time of the year at Toronto's Casa Loma, which is beautifully decorated throughout for the holiday season, including a festive tree that greets visitors as they enter the Great Hall. Holiday programming includes sing-alongs with live carolers, magic shows, scavenger hunts, arts and crafts, treat decorating, a dazzling light display in the gardens and more.
Historical attractions such as Black Creek Pioneer Village are fun to visit during the holidays when the 19th century village is all dressed up for Christmas and weekends are filled with festive programming. During Christmas at Black Creek, families will enjoy Christmas-themed activities such as holiday baking and chestnut roasting, learning about Christmas traditions, visits with Santa, horse-drawn wagon rides, and a Gingerbread Village contest. For three evenings in December, visitors may also experience a Victorian Christmas with live music, food, and activities in the lamp-lit village.
For more than 25 years, the Gardiner Museum in Toronto has celebrated the season with the 12 Trees of Christmas. Each of the twelve trees is designed by one of the city's top designers and will be on display at the museum. When the display is over, the trees are distributed to various charities across the city in order to spread the spirit of giving.
Look for the best hotel prices in Toronto
Outdoor Skating
For many Torontonians, celebrating the holidays means bundling up to skate outdoors and enjoying a steaming cup of hot chocolate afterward. Two of the most popular free outdoor skating venues in the city are Nathan Phillips Square and the Natrel Harbourfront Centre rink.

Spain, a country on Europe's Iberian Peninsula, includes 17 autonomous regions with diverse geography and cultures. Capital city Madrid is home to the Royal Palace and Prado museum, housing works by European masters. Segovia has a medieval castle (the Alcázar) and an intact Roman aqueduct. Catalonia's capital, Barcelona, is defined by Antoni Gaudí's whimsical modernist landmarks like the Sagrada Família church. Spanish is the official language of the entire country, and it is the right and duty of every Spaniard to know the language.
The grandeur of a caliph's palace, sybaritic sun-drenched Mediterranean beaches, the staccato stamp of a flamenco dancer's heels, the awed hush of pilgrims entering the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela after weeks of walking El Camino. You can find the soul of Spain in tourist attractions such as these, which represent the country's tumultuous history, rich culture, and enchanting natural beauty.
From the sunlight playing endlessly off the "scales" of Gehry's Guggenheim Museum and the throbbing street life of La Rambla and Plaza Mayor to the forest of columns and Moorish arches disappearing into the silent expanse of Cordoba's Great Mosque, Spain exudes a vibrant energy and a captivating blend of past and present.

Poor posture becomes a monster from the beginning of the 21st century. A person who is constantly in the position hunched-over can seriously damage their spine. because of our constant use of smart phones and other hand-held devices, many people people can spend up to four hours a day in an unnatural and damaging position.
Therefore, the bright side decided to learn how to use your phone without damaging the spine. Next is invaluable advice for all of us!
Recent studies have shown that a person posture can affect their emotional outlook. An individual who suffers from clinical depression often assumes a pose that has been dubbed iHunch. In the past, it was generally be the problem with older people, who sought medical assistance for problems in the the back, but now doctors have witnessed this problem in the young people
Main features of iHunch: stretched-out neck, sore shoulders, hands tucked in the the torso.
Assuming the right attitude all the time can lead to increased productivity at work and a higher resistance to stress.
Five simple things that can help to reduce the risk of back problems:
Occasionally move the head from side to side slowly, stretching the muscles.
Massage shoulders, lateral muscles in the neck, and the area between the shoulder blades.
Standing in the doorway, stretch out your arms and bend your chest. This will help relax the muscles that are fixed in one place for a long time when using a smart phone.
If you use the cellular for more than ten minutes, press chin to your neck and squeeze the shoulder blades together. Repeat several times this exercise, so by holding the position for ten seconds.
Every time you use a smart phone, keep in mind that the right attitude can help you avoid many health problems in the future.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
You forgot, "My birthday is either the first or third day of my week of drinking until I go to sleep every night. I hate birthdays, they remind me that death is coming."
It is just another day like any other.
It's an excuse to buy myself something extra nice for dinner.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A house fire that killed four children, their mother and their stepgrandfather began in the downstairs living room, but its cause remained unclear, a public safety official said Monday.
Alvin Henderson, chief of emergency services in Allegheny County, said crews were focusing on that room as they searched for the precise location and cause of Saturday's fire in McKeesport, about 10 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
"We have identified the area of origin as the first-floor living room in the home and are concentrating our efforts there to determine the point of origin and cause," Henderson said in a statement.
The chief declined to comment further until investigators know more, but he clarified that the living room was separate from the "first-floor living quarters" that he described Saturday as being where Ronald Egenlauf Sr., 55, was found dead.
Egenlauf used a wheelchair and had been partially paralyzed from a stroke several years ago, his sisters told The Associated Press.
The county medical examiner said Egenlauf, his daughter-in-law Hope Jordan, 27, and her four young children died of acute smoke and fume inhalation and were likely unconscious before they were burned.
Jordan married Egenlauf's 23-year-old son, Keith, last December, and he was parenting her children from past relationships, all of whom also died: Dominic Jordan, 7; Autumn Jordan, 6; Serenity Jakub, 3; and Victoria Jordan, 2.
Hope Jordan and Keith Egenlauf initially escaped the fire, which broke out about 6:45 a.m., but went back into the burning house to rescue the others. Keith Egenlauf escaped again with burns over more than half of his body and remained in critical condition Monday at UPMC Mercy hospital in Pittsburgh.
Henderson said Saturday that Jordan was found dead with her children in an upstairs bedroom.
About 250 people raised lit candles into the air and sang "Amazing Grace" at a Sunday night vigil outside the charred two-story home.
Laverne Egenlauf, the mother of Keith and wife of Ronald, told reporters at the vigil that she had recently moved out of the home. Doctors expect her son will recover after extensive burn treatments, she said.

It truly amazes me how powerful such a simple site can be. This clear, easy-to-use site presents Robert Atkinson's work with such clarity that it's hard not to love the interface. The one-page portfolio site is a modern take on a resume and, in my opinion, a much more personalized sales tool.
One thought on "Site of the Day: metaphiziks.com"

Thanks for the kind words Patrick.

Should we expect to see Aaron Rodgers again this season? And what do we make of Brett Hundley and the rest of Green Bay's skill-position guys now?
We know Odell Beckham is done for the year. But how much time will guys like Jordy Nelson, Charles Clay and Bilal Powell miss?

Cheers of support for the President and First Lady as they depart for Paris to participate in Bastille Day celebrations with French President Emmanuel Macron.
Cheers of support for the President and First Lady as they depart for Paris to participate in Bastille Day celebrations with French President Emmanuel Macron.
Notice that most of the MSM didn't mention the cheering crowd for POTUS and FLOTUS when they left but the above video did.
May God bless them both and keep them safe!
Pam, thank you for posting so many relevant news items — photos, tweets, fb, etc.
Godspeed Mr.President and PLOTUS. Come back safely to us. Then next week you can get involved with the Senate foot-draggers on your agenda to MAGA.
The EU signed a trade agreement with Japan for beef just before G20. Never trust the Japanese, do not give them a nuke. The Japanese are hedging their bets, knowing that they have not opened their markets to the USA. Watch out for France & China. They are all scheming, still burned up about the Paris Accord….
"JEEPA will slash Japanese tariffs on beef, pork and wine, eliminating 85% of the tariffs on agricultural food products going into Japan."
What about Mad Cow Disease that originated IN the EU???
That is why Japan banned US beef.
I gotta say, it still blows my mind that DONALD TRUMP is the President of the United States!!!!
Here he is, 30 years ago, walking out on his Auld Enemy, CNN. Enjoy!
This is a public safety announcement for Treepers. You are all banned from ogling at Melania. Stop!
Numbers 6:24-26
May The Lord bless you
and keep you, President & Melania Trump,
May the Lord make his face shine on you both
and be gracious to you;
May the Lord turn his face toward you both
and give you peace.
Thank you, MaineCoon.
The swamp is going to the mat. They are all in.
There very lives may depend on our President not going the distance.
So much fun to see what the First Lady wears on her global excursions as well as here in the USA. I find her choices to be appropriate for her age, status as FLOTUS, true to the occasions (White House lawn picnic to G20 conference) her clothes are exquisitely refined, classy and always in the best of taste.
Mrs. Trump – No scowling, beautiful clothes that fit with beautiful colors and cut, waves and smiles;
President Trump – acknowledges people, shows respect to military and others, smiles and waves, classy suits and cuff links; children who are responsible, kind, do not get into trouble like doing illegal drugs and underage drinking, and the whole family helps people
No scum bag politician and their families and the scum bag puppet masters have the integrity, morals, work ethic, class, intelligence, patriotism, kindness, and love of country, and understands the average person and cares for people like President Trump.
In Az, I believe you have hit nearly every honorable characterization of President Trump and his wonderful family. Pat on the back!
It's reported in the French papers that the Boy King Macron is going to try to help Trump "come out of his isolation" lol. You should see the stick he's getting in the comments. Look out for the Putin at Versailles style lecture he'll be giving at the Invalides. But as the commenters are pointing out, Napoleon was a dictator…
The British called Napoleon — The Monster.
It just occurred to me how blazing HOT it had to be for all those people standing outside to see off POTUS and FLOTUS. I think it was close to 100 yesterday afternoon in that area.

Adele was the big winner at the BRIT Awards 2016. She was named the Best British Female Solo Artist and also won for Best British Single and took the Global Success Award before taking the top prize for Best British Album. Adele, who is preparing to start a world tour in Belfast, Northern Ireland, next week, ended her first acceptance speech by saying: "I'd also like to take this moment to publicly support Kesha." Adele is on Columbia. Meanwhile pop star Kesha is taking action to be released from her Sony contract. The Mastercard MA -0.66% Best Album went to the U.K. singer-songwriter's third studio album 25, now back at the top of the British charts and which has now sold more than 19 million worldwide.
Adele also gave a tearful speech accepting her third award of the night: "I didn't know if I would ever come back, for you all to be so kind to me is so nice."
TV presenters Ant and Dec led cheerleading for the local music industry during the broadcast show, saying it has been "a remarkable year for British music," whose "talent was envied around the world."
Among the performances by stars from around the world,Coldplay did "Hymn for the Weekend" without Beyoncé;Justin Bieber's performance included a singalong around a fire with plenty of hot flames after that. The Weeknd, Little Mix, Jess Glynne, Rihanna and Drake, and James Bay also performed at the music-industry ceremony in London's O2 stadium.
Tributes to the late David Bowie were led by simple speeches by Annie Lennox and actor Gary Oldman followed by a medley of Bowie hits by the late star's band with New Zealander Lorde. Their "Life on Mars" resulted in a standing ovation and remarks from some record executives on how much better the song was than the more recent tunes.

Police still looking for a truck that hit a toll booth in NH and kept going
ROCHESTER — A truck traveling southbound on the Spaulding Turnpike crashed through the Rochester tolls on Sunday.
Police say around 1:30 p.m. a red truck with a blue and white lift, or "cherry picker" and had the words, "A. Richardson Trucking" on it ran through the tolls causing major damage.
The vehicle did not stop after the collision.
The toll worker was in the booth when it was hit, but they were not injured.
After the crash, two lanes of the Rochester tolls were closed for over one hour. The center lane of the Rochester tolls will remain closed for the next couple days as crews work to repair the damaged booth.
