London Freeze has today announced the final acts who will be taking to the stage at Battersea Power Station from 30th October – 1st November as part of Freesports on 4 FREEZE sponsored by LG, the UK's biggest winter sports and music festival.
Aussie/Brit act Pendulum and rapper Example will be warming up the crowd for Friday night headliners Orbital, with Chase & Status and Camden three-piece Ou Est Le Swimming Pool confirmed to appear on the Sunday night.
Hailing from Australia, drum and base act Pendulum will be hitting the London Freeze stage on Friday night. This hugely popular band broke onto the UK scene in 2003, releasing their debut album Hold Your Colour in 2005 to critical acclaim and following this with In Silico in 2006. They are perhaps best known for their hit Propane Nightmares which reached number 9 in the UK Singles Chart. They have been a regular on the summer festival circuit in 2009 and are looking to finish up the festival season with a bang at Freeze.
London-based rapper Example will also be gracing the stage on the opening night of the festival. Example, aka Elliot John Gleave, signed to Mike Skinner's label The Beats in 2006 and has since been championed by Radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe, Jo Whiley and Pete Tong. Following his departure from The Beats, Example has released a new single, Watch the Sun Come Up, which reached number 20 in the UK Singles Chart.
The dance production duo Chase & Status will be performing on the final night of the festival as part of their first UK tour. Band members Saul Milton and Will Kennard have achieved three number ones in the UK Dance Chart, with their 2009 collaboration with Brit rapper Kano taking them into the UK Singles Chart.
Camden-based band Ou Est Le Swimming Pool complete the Sunday night line up, bringing their quirky brand of electro pop to the Freeze stage. Following performances at this summer's Bestival and Glastonbury festivals, the band has recently released their debut track Dance the Way I Feel, which will hit the UK charts in early October.
The new acts announced today join the electro pioneers Orbital, legendary American rock band Eagles of Death Metal and the 2009 Mercury Music Prize nominees Friendly Fires in performing at London Freeze. Orbital will be headlining Friday, Eagles of Death Metal on Saturday and Friendly Fires are confirmed for Sunday.
Appearing on the Relentless stage on Friday night will be the electric tunes of Sound of Guns, Master Shorties and The King Blues. The bands dominating the Relentless stage on Saturday will be Cosmo Jarvis, Kissy Sell out and Audio Bully. Finally the Secret Sundance will be performing on the concluding night of the Relentless stage festivities.

Snowboarding line-up
The 32m high ski-jump will accompany the iconic towers of Battersea Power Station on the London skyline once again with 500 tonnes of real snow being produced and packed onto the slope to transform the site into a winter sports village. The big air jump will form the central hub of the competition and will return as the biggest ever created in the UK. The overall length from the top of the jump to the landing strip will be 110m, with a 17m table top drop from which competitors from around the globe will be showcasing their talents.
The festival will kick off on the Friday with a Battle of Britain ski and snowboard contest with the best of British talent battling it out for the title of top dog in the UK. Brit Olympic snowboard hopefuls Ben Kilner and Dom Harrington will be jostling for the top spot, before focusing on the World Cup event later in the weekend.
The LG London Big Air event, part of the FIS LG Snowboard World Cup, will take place on the Saturday, forming the main competition for snowboarders. All riders taking part can score crucial ratings points in their quest to become World Champions, whilst also improving their chances to qualify for the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010.
This year's festival will also see a brand new addition to its sporting line up, with the Freeze Grind competition giving the ski and snowboard competitors a chance to display their skills on rails at the base of the slope.
Finally, the festival will close with a battle of the continents, with Scandinavia taking on the rest of Europe in a snowboard contest on Sunday which is guaranteed to get the audience's pulses racing.
Marcel Looze, Snowboard Race Director at the sport's official global body FIS commented: "Research showed that enjoyment of the LG Snowboard FIS World Cup Big Air was high with most wanting to come back or recommend a friend. The very special location at Battersea, the enthusiastic crowd and great performance of the riders made the first LG Snowboard FIS World Cup Big Air in London a success. FIS is proud to have London in the Calendar 2009/2010 again and give the audience another opportunity to watch World Class athletes without having to travel thousands of miles. We trust Sports Vision supported by the British Ski and Snowboard Association are able to create a great show again."
Dom Harrington – British Olympic hopeful: "It's such good news to hear that the London Freeze is returning the Battersea. Last year was such an amazing event from a Brit point of view. To be able to take on the rest of the World in our back yard really pushes us all as riders and they better watch out - we are here in force and we'll be taking them down! The UK has a massive snow scene even without having our own mountain ranges and having Freeze in the UK highlights the popularity of the sport to the public. People need to know what snowboarding is all about and if we can inspire them to try it, just once, well that's an awesome thing!"
Paul Meadows, head of brand marketing at LG Electronics UK & Ireland comments: "Freesports on 4 Freeze and the Big Air established themselves as iconic events last year and LG is delighted to be sponsoring both events for the second year running. Bringing freesports, music and the latest mobile technology such as social networking handsets together at the iconic Battersea power station, this year¹s event promises to be bigger and even more spectacular. We're sure that everyone who attends will have a truly memorable time, taking in the buzz and excitement of live action and music together with their friends and family."
Fans wishing to attend the event are advised to visit www.londonfreeze.com for further ticket information.
Tickets are priced at £35 for a day pass, £85 for a season pass (3 days), with a child's day ticket at £15 and a child's season ticket at £35.

Haggai and Zechariah 1-8
A Handbook on the Hebrew Text
By Max Rogland
Subjects: All Biblical Studies, Hebrew Bible, Hebrew Language Studies
In this volume, Max Rogland provides a foundational analysis of the Hebrew text of Haggai and Zechariah 1–8. Distinguished by the detailed yet comprehensive attention paid to the Hebrew text, Haggai and Zechariah 1–8 is a convenient pedagogical and reference tool that explains the form and syntax of the biblical text, offers guidance for deciding between competing semantic analyses, engages important text-critical debates, and addresses questions relating to the Hebrew text that are frequently overlooked or ignored by standard commentaries. Beyond serving as a succinct and accessible analytic key, Haggai and Zechariah 1–8 also reflects the most recent advances in scholarship on Hebrew grammar and linguistics. By filling the gap between popular and technical commentaries, the handbook becomes an indispensable tool for anyone committed to a deep reading of the biblical text.

Carroll Shelby. Richie Ginther. Phil Remington. These were American icons and innovators who laid the building blocks for motorsports in this country and across the world. John Fitch, who passed away shortly after we profiled him in October 2012, was a founding member of that special class. Besides serving as a WWII fighter pilot, kick-starting Corvette Racing, and driving at Le Mans, he also built this spectacular 1966 Fitch Phoenix prototype.
Soon after Chevy released the 140-hp Corsa engine option on its Corvair in 1965, Fitch began tinkering with it in his four-bay Connecticut garage. The resulting special-order fastback Sprint model became a favorite among those in the know, but it was actually his second Corvair-based project. As early as 1963, Fitch and his neighbor—legendary cartoonist Coby Whitmore—worked on a unique rear-engine prototype, intended as a super-exclusive grand touring coupe.
Using a quadruple Webber carb setup, Fitch coaxed an impressive 170 hp from the base model car's air-cooled flat-six lump. He then attached a targa-top body designed by Whitmore (and cast by a carrozzeriain Turin, Italy) to a shortened '65 Corvair chassis, hooked up Girling disc brakes, and added a staggered 6- and 7-inch front-rear wheel setup. With a curb weight of just 2150 lbs, the Fitch Phoenix could get to 60 mph in 7.5 ticks en route to a 130-mph top speed—some seriously impressive numbers for its era. Oh, it had fender-mounted spare tires, too. Fast and classy.

Roy Hill tried to kill me with an 8-second Mustang Cobra Jet
Fitch debuted his Phoenix in June 1966; not long afterward, Congress established the Highway Safety Bureau to dole out automotive safety standards. By the time these measures were enacted two years later, the Unsafe at Any Speed debacle had effectively axed the Corvair and, in the same swing, Fitch-Whitmore's GT prototype.
Of the 500 units slated for production, only one Fitch Phoenix was ever made, and it's going to auction.
This car isn't just a (gorgeous) vestige to one of America's pioneering motorsports figures—it's a tiny glimpse into a strange, alternate timeline where high-horsepower, rear-engine, special-edition GM grand touring cars are, well, things that actually exist.
And if you know anything about John Fitch, chances are the Phoenix is one hell of a drive.
Look for John Fitch's one-off 1966 Fitch Phoenix at Bonhams this Sunday, June 1.

Produced by Oren Peli of the Paranormal Activity film series, The River follows a crew of documentarians into the wilds of the Amazon, as they search for the missing cast and crew of a popular nature show. Shot partially in over-the-shoulder documentary style, ABC's new Thursday-night show traces the adventures of the search party as it navigates through a haunted jungle—almost like a choose-your-own-adventure book. It made this recapper wonder: which path would I choose?
In comes the "Bad-Decision Timeline." On a scale of -10 to 10, we'll grade the major events of each episode, dissecting how, when, and why the search party invariably went astray. But first, a brief intro to the cast.
Dr. Emmet Cole: Our story's MacGuffin. Once the host of The Undiscovered Country, a popular nature show, Emmet went missing some six months before the show begins. He may also be a magician.
Lincoln Cole: The protagonist. A recent med-school graduate with an apparent chip on his shoulder, Lincoln leaves in search of his father at the request of his mother. May or may not be magical to some degree.
Tess Cole: The mother. Once the co-host of The Undiscovered Country, Tess manages to secure funding to search for her husband by selling both herself and her son as a reality show. Definitely not magical.
Lena Landry: The eye candy. Lincoln's childhood friend and the only other child who sailed on the Undiscovered Country ship—she also appears to have been the closest person with Emmet right before his disappearance. Definitely a magician along the lines of Emmet . . . she just doesn't know it yet.
Clark Quietly: The one you're supposed to hate, but kind of end up liking. As the former producer of The Undiscovered Country, Clark is funding and filming the rescue mission. Not magical in the slightest.
Kurt Brynildson: The muscle. Guns, guns, and more guns—this summarizes everything the gruff, practical Kurt has brought with him on the expedition.
Emilio Valenzuela: The mechanic. A crew member on the original ship, Emilio can fix basically anything.
A.J. Poulain: The overzealous go-getter. As a cameraman, A.J. will do literally anything to get "the shot"—sacrificing not only himself, but others.
Jahel Valenzuela: The creepy kid. As the daughter of superstitious mechanic Emilio, Jahel has the ability to talk to ghosts and the inability to speak any English whatsoever. As someone well versed in creepy superstitions, Jahel is likely to be the bearer of all ominous catchphrases throughout the show.
Sammy: The cannon fodder.
The Timeline:
Episode One: "Magus"
Tess convinces Emmet to leave in the first five minutes (-3): While a bad idea for the obvious reason that it almost immediately puts the entire cast in the middle of a magical jungle full of things out to get them, it's also a negative because it happens a bit too easily. Emmet is forced to quit his newly acquired residency to join in what will in all likelihood be a dead-end search for his father. While there is some conceivable hope that Dr. Cole would have known enough about the Amazon to survive with his crew for six months, the chances are slim at best and a little bit more screen time spent convincing Emmet would have made it more believable.
Tess finds Emmet's beacon underwater, in a shattered steel cage, and decides to keep looking for him. (-6): I'm no expert, but the last time I checked, nothing remotely close to human has brute strength to pry apart a steel diving cage. Sure, the party is already in the jungle, and sure, they're clinging on to hope, but with their only lead being that the original ship, the Magus, was at some point on the Amazon river, it would have been a much better decision to call it quits right here.
The gang resupplies in a village and adds new cast (+6): One point for making the good (and realistic) decision to stop in a local village and resupply, and five points for the arrival of Lena. Not only is she the show's much-needed eye candy but she comes with useful leads on where to go and boating experience. As tempted as I was to give this decision a 10, when everyone subsequently ignores Jahel's ominous warning that the boat is in the Boiúna—what appears to be the Bermuda Triangle of the Amazon—my hand was forced.
The teams finds the rusted Magus and boards it (-7): Not only is the boat barely seaworthy when they finally find it, when the crew hears what can only be described as "ominous growling" from within it, they decide to check it out and venture deeper! Without even bringing ghosts into the equation, this is the Amazon. If you hear something that sounds like it can eat you, the chances are it's not your missing father but something that will in fact eat you.
The crew opens the panic room (-7): If a panic room is welded shut from the outside, chances are that who/whatever is inside didn't do the metalwork. Whoever welded the door shut was trying to keep something in the room, not out . . . and as no one on the crew of the Magus seems like the kind of person who would seal their good friends into a metal box to die, whatever is in there definitely isn't a missing nature host. (Spoiler alert: it's a blood-drinking spirit cast out of hell called a Corpo Seco. And it's hungry.)
Lena finds and shares the secret tapes (+10): Lena has proven to be hands-down the most useful person of the episode. Not only does she find secret tapes that show us that Dr. Cole, a magician who can walk on water, conjure fire, control dragonflies, and trap evil souls in wooden containers, but she has the good sense to share these tidbits with the group rather than destroy them as Dr. Cole—who we find out had been in contact with Lena until the day of his disappearance—had ordered her to. Finally, the search party knows what it's up against.
Sammy goes on deck to film a rampaging evil spirit that's attacking the Magus (-10): While Emilio and Jahel's managing to repair the rusted wreck of an engine was a quite a feat, it is over-shadowed by Sammy's hotheaded decision to head on deck. If something is powerful enough to literally rock a moving boat and break through steel, it definitely packs enough of a punch to take out a cameraman. R.I.P., Sammy, you will be missed.
Lincoln traps the demon (+3): While stopping the rampaging Corpo Seco from eating everyone on board is most definitely praise-worthy (with extra kudos for figuring out how his father's ghost trap worked), Lincoln's triumph is more than a little marred by his mother's attempts to delay her son from trapping the man-eating hell-spawn so she can have a chat with it. Sure, finding Emmet is important—after all, it's the reason everyone is out there—but you have to be alive to find him. This is a lesson no one seems to be learning.
Kurt, the bodyguard, is planning to kill Emmet if they find him (+6): I have to say, when this plot twist was revealed, it caught me completely off guard. Who is he talking to on his satellite phone? What is the Source they're talking about? And why does it need to stay secret? Obviously Kurt knows something about the magical happenings in the Amazon, but exactly what does he know? Ten points for awesomeness, but negative four points for the decision to kill what will likely be their only chance for survival throughout their journey (anyone who can make fire appear out of thin air is useful in my book).
Total episode score: -8
Total season score: -8
Episode Two: "Marbeley"
The gang establishes a video timeline (+4): If you insist on continuing your journey after a blood-drinking demon tries to eat your entire party, you might as well have as clear a view as possible of what you'll come up against, and organizing the video journals of the only magician you know is a good start. Using Lena's knowledge that Emmet had an infected bug bite on his hand, the crew is able to get a vague idea of when each video was filmed, and where the missing cast and crew of The Undiscovered Country were before they disappeared.
Everyone ignores the possessed girl (-10): If the spirit of your missing husband possesses the clairvoyant daughter of your mechanic and tells you to run away, you should listen. Period.
The group finds, and then camps out in, a graveyard full of disfigured dolls. (+1): While credit is due to the group for at least attempting to not spend the night in the haunted jungle dollhouse, they really should have tried harder.
In a flashback, Lincoln accepts a magic necklace (+3): Sure, this was back in 1989, and Lincoln no longer actually has the necklace. But there's a nice scene where Emmet tells his son that nothing truly important is ever really lost, which suggests that the neckpiece will make a reappearance. It also hints that Lincoln might have some sort of magical ability of his own.
A.J. wanders the camp taunting the ghost of a lost child (-4): You would think that after being attacked just hours ago by an angry spirit, A.J. would have the good sense to not taunt another one . . . sadly, this is not the case. In his endless quest as a cameraman to "get the shot," A.J. goads the ghost in to attacking Lincoln, which starts a domino affect of bad decisions.
The group flees the ghost child through the jungle (-3): While being camped near an angry ghost trying to drag people into the water is obviously not an ideal situation, running blindly through the jungle in the middle of the night just makes things worse. Light a fire and stick it out till morning, then run like hell.
Jahel forces the spirit of Emmet to continue possessing her (0): While Jahel should know better than to force a ghost's hand (especially as it's revealed that her mother was lost after being possessed) it is an act preformed out of necessity, and does confirm that Emmet is in fact alive.
Lincoln steals a teddy bear and then tries to give it back (-11): I know the lowest score is technically a -10, but when is stealing a doll that was meant to appease an angry spirit ever a good idea?
Lincoln figures out how to appease the spirit (+7): Turns out it was as simple as connecting the ghost child to his nearby ghost mother. Obvious, maybe, but it's hard to think when your own mother has been dragged down to murky depths. Lincoln is starting to work his way up the ladder to episode MVP.
Lincoln retrieves the magic necklace (+8): As things continue to get stranger and more deadly, this can only be a beneficial move in terms of party survival.
Turns out the group is traveling with a "chosen one." (+7): Turns out the magic necklace probably wasn't meant for Lincoln after all, but rather Lena, who has a birthmark that matches the symbol on it. Chosen children always make good travel buddies.
Total episode score: 2
Total season score: -6

What Have We Learned? (Graphing and Measurement)
Lesson 18 of 18
Objective: Students will be able to show their knowledge of graphing and measurement.
Big Idea: After completing a unit on graphing and measurement, a summative assessment is given to gain information about what the students have learned! Assessing in small groups helps students focus and do their best on the assessment!
Problem of the Day
I start each math lesson with a Problem of the Day. I use the procedures outlined here on Problem of the Day Procedures.
Today's Problem of the Day:
Look at these caterpillars. Compare their lengths.
For this Problem of the Day, I include two pictures of caterpillars. The caterpillars are movable.
I have one student answer this question, and explain his or her thinking. If the student does not do it, I encourage the student to move the caterpilars to ensure that he or she has enough information to compare the length of the two caterpillars. I am looking for the student to line up the caterpillars on the left side so that the difference in length is easily seen. I am also looking for students to use the words longer and shorter as the comparison of length is explained.
Resources (3)
After the Problem of the Day, I prepare the students to take the Test. "Today we are going to take another math test. This is how I know how much you learned about graphing and measurement."
I quickly go over the rules and procedures for taking a math test. Most of the students have done this several times now, so I do not take too much time on this. I have the students turn and face the back of the room, towards the small group table. I hold up the dividers that I will be using to separate the students during the test.
"I will be calling a few of you up at a time to take the test. You will come sit at my table just like you do during small group time, but these dividers will be between you and your friends. You need to keep your eyes on your own paper. That way I will see what you know on your paper and what your friends know on their papers."
I set up the dividers so the students can see how the table is going to look. I then walk back to the front of the room by the students to tell them what they will be doing.
"While I am calling people back to take the test, you will be working on your center activity. This will be almost like a regular day of centers, but we need to remember to be extra quiet so that our friends can pay attention and do their very best on the their tests!"
Resources (2)
Taking the Test and Centers
I call one student up to get the center for the table.
This week's centers are:
- Measuring Abe's Hat (from Teachers Pay Teachers)
- Measure the Room (from Teachers Pay Teachers)
- Valentine's Day Measurment Center (Teacher Created Resource- Use candy hearts)
- Teen Numbers with Ten Frames (from Teachers Pay Teachers)
- SMARTBoard (2D and 3D Shapes from Starfall)
I quickly circulate to make sure students are engaged and do not have any questions about how to complete the centers. I call several students back at a time to take the test. Between groups, I check in with the students doing centers and remind them to stay quiet while they work.
After about 20 minutes, I count down from 5 and have the students freeze. I have them put their materials back in the center tray, but keep it on their table. I switch the centers so that each table gets a new center to complete. I quickly circulate again to make sure that students do not have any questions about their new center. I then continue with the tests.
Prior to clean up, I check in with each table to see how the centers are going. I turn on Tidy Up by Dr. Jean. Students clean up and return to their seats. I continue centers and testing until the very end of our math time to get in as many tests as possible.
To take the test, I have the students come back to my small group table where I have test partitions already in place. I call students back in groups of 4 students. I try to pull groups that are at similar abilities levels and work at about the same pace. This makes it easier as I read the directions and move through the test.

The Sports Xchange
MLB Team Report - Chicago White Sox - INSIDE PITCH
It was a weekend of milestones for the White Sox, but not all of them were ones that left the team very excited.
The Sports Xchange
MLB Team Report - Chicago White Sox - INSIDE PITCH
It was a weekend of milestones for the White Sox, but not all of them were ones that left the team very excited.
The Sox were swept for just the second time this season, as Kansas City beat them 5-2. With the Royals getting the win, it was also the first time in 21 years that Kansas City has now beat the Sox five straight times, and their record at Kauffman Stadium is now 8-18 since July 4, 2009.
"It's frustrating, it's brutal," catcher A.J. Pierzynski said of the latest loss on Sunday. "We got to play better than that, myself included."
Not that the Sox weren't up against the wall the past few days. Center fielder Alejandro De Aza was held out of the lineup again Sunday with back stiffness, missing his second consecutive game. The hope is De Aza will be able to return on Monday, when the Sox host New York for a three-game series.
On top of De Aza being sidelined, the Sox were without Kevin Youkilis, one game after he reached the 1,000-hit milestone in Saturday's loss.
The Sox have been carrying 13 pitchers, so that obviously handcuffed manager Robin Ventura in what he could do late in the game.
"When you take that step to go with the extra pitcher, you're a little limited on what you can do," Ventura said. "But that's what we need right now, being able to have those extra arms."
Ventura said that the Thursday off day will give the Sox a chance to rethink the makeup of the roster and see if they wanted to make one more change.
With Youkilis out, that meant Ray Olmedo got the starting nod at third base.
"It's one of those things where you try to give (Youkilis) a day off when you can," Ventura said. "We'll let (trainer) Herm (Schneider) mess with him."
Lost in the lost weekend was Youkilis' milestone hit and Adam Dunn connecting on career homer No. 400.
"It's pretty cool for the family and friends," Youkilis said. "But for me, I would tell you I should have gotten 1,000 hits a long time ago by playing better. It's nice to have a number, but I hope it goes way higher than that."
MLB Team Report - Chicago White Sox - NOTES, QUOTES
--CF Alejandro De Aza missed his second consecutive game with the same sore back that made him a late scratch before Saturday's loss. That meant Dewayne Wise was back in De Aza's place, both in the field and the lineup, and that means the concerns for De Aza are now growing. The injury was suffered on Friday, when he slid into second base and felt something between his back and left oblique. He came out of that game in the eighth, and it didn't improve by Saturday. De Aza said it was very painful, while manager Robin Ventura isn't going to get overly concerned just yet. "It was something that was cramping up on him," Ventura said. "I think it's more of being on the turf in Toronto. Dewayne's filled in great, so we'll give him a couple of days. It could be a combination of things, but he was starting to get that with the turf. (Trainer) Herm (Schneider) is working on him, so trust that." De Aza was hitting .281 with 21 stolen bases and 73 runs scored.
--LHP Jose Quintana was back on the mound Sunday, getting the no-decision in the finale against the Royals, and while his value as the fill-in for injured LHP John Danks has been huge this season, the real test is yet to come for the rookie. Quintana sets up as the third starter in a postseason series right now, following LHP Chris Sale and RHP Jake Peavy. And while his stuff is not lights out, it's effective. "You see a ball that's 90 (mph), but it's a sneaky 90," bullpen coach Juan Nieves said. "And it's well-located. He has the luxury of getting away with stuff because of the way he hides the ball and locates it. There are some guys who throw 90 that look like 95, and there are 95s that look like 90. He doesn't have stuff like (young LHPs) David Price or Matt Moore, but a lefty who throws 90-plus who can spin it and throw strikes to both sides of the plate, I'll take it."
--DH/1B Adam Dunn wanted his 400th career homer to be something special, and for a second it seemed that way. The slugger followed up Kevin Youkilis' 1,000th career hit in Saturday's game in Kansas City with the milestone blast that traveled 428 feet and brought the Sox to within a run with momentum. But the Royals ended up blowing the game open, making it a homer that Dunn wasn't really throwing his arms around. "It's hard to enjoy," Dunn said. "Obviously, getting it in a win would have been a lot better." Big picture is Dunn became the 50th major leaguer to reach the 400-homer milestone, and along with Paul Konerko -- who reached 400 in April -- they are the first two teammates to reach it in the same season.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
For the crisp: Mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender, 2 knives or a food processor, cut in the butter. Stir in the oats.
For the fruit: Toss the fruit with the cornstarch, granulated sugar as needed and the lemon zest if using.
Transfer the fruit mixture to a baking dish and top with the crisp mixture. Bake until the middle is warmed through and the top is crispy and golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes.
The ratio of crisp to fruit is fairly flexible--use more or less based on your preference. Larger batches of the crisp may take more time to bake, while smaller batches may take less time. Watch closely and adjust the baking time accordingly.

October 2014
The Merry Weather Garden Club met on Thursday, October 30, 2014 at the home of Carla Snider in Imlac. Guests and members were treated to hors d'oeuvres with an Italian twist like bruschetta, garlic bread, and antipasto.
Carla was assisted in her "Italian Feast" by friends Mary Beth Tsoukalis who did the antipasto, Italian leafy salad, chicken Florentine, penne salad, and limoncello; Carla added an entrée of lasagna; Phyllis Daniel made the decorations, rum cake, lemon ricotta cookies and garlic bread; and Patti Acheson brought the cannoli. Each place setting had a card with a map of Italy and the luncheon menu that Carla's daughter Anne created. The table decorations were carved loaves of bread that held flowers.
Guests of honor, Walter and Chris Citterio, praised the delicious meal and enjoyed the club's camaraderie. Walter, who grew up in Northern Italy, is a chef renowned for his simple, healthy, and incredibly delicious recipes. His program on cooking with herbs was filled with tips by a true connoisseur who both grows his produce, cooks, and enjoys fine food.
Citterio began by explaining how important a garden is to Italian families. There are always flowers for the house and for the cemetery. Italian cemeteries are colorful and blooming with fresh flowers year around.
Citterio explained there are eighteen regions of Italy and every region differs so that favored herbs in Rome are not the favored ones in his boyhood home of Como. Italy's history is one of invasion and the Mediterranean cuisine was influenced by invaders with the southern portion having Arab influences and the northern areas more French flavors.
The basic six herbs used most often are parsley, basil, bay leaves, rosemary, sage, and thyme. Citterio uses rosemary to flavor the oil. When he roasts meat, he puts the stripped rosemary leaves in the oil and then takes them out after they have flavored the oil. He cooks the meat and then adds rosemary again at the end. Too browned or overcooked herbs can ruin flavor instead of enhance it.
He recommends bay leaves for stews, a good chicken broth, and cooking venison. Bay is strong and can easily overpower food and you want its delicate flavor. Citterio recommends a marinade of sage, bay, and thyme for a good venison loin.
The two thymes, the common and lemon varieties, add flavor to foods. Citterio recommends using lemon thyme in seafood recipes. Parsley is also a favorite with seafood. He roasts a large fish with garlic and parsley and uses the two ingredients with shrimp and clam sauces.
Citterio explained that shrimp scampi is an American invention. "Shrimp is shrimp, and scampi is scampi," he said. Scampi is a baby lobster-important to know if ordering a meal in Europe.
Small basil leaves he uses for pesto. He processes and freezes them in ice cube trays then pops them in freezer bags to have when the growing season precludes fresh leaves.
Citterio uses tarragon in béarnaise sauces, as a dry rub for chicken, and chopped fresh into salads. Dill is stripped with the fingers because cutting it with a knife makes the herb dark. Citterio displayed beautiful, fresh, healthy herbs from his garden as he discussed how he uses them in his meals. Chives he uses in fish and soup stock, potato salad, and chopped to finish a dish. He reminded cooks never to use oregano in the cooking process-it is always added at the end or sprinkled on salads and bruschetta.
Many Italian dishes begin with a basic tomato sauce and Citterio shared his: crushed garlic is added to olive oil, then basil is added and then Citterio puts the lid on and lets the ingredients sizzle. He adds the tomatoes and salt and pepper and simmers it.
Nutritious leafy vegetables he highly recommends are dandelions which he boils or steams and adds oil and lemon juice before serving; spinach, endive, kale and broccoli rabe. He often steams the broccoli rabe with pine nuts, raisins, and serves with pasta. His goal is to always maintain the natural flavor and keep dishes simple.
Garden club members inquired how he grew such green, perfect, and leafy herbs, and he explained he had no extraordinary tips. He made his garden in what was his bocce field because he had no one to play bocce with. To fend off insects he uses soapy water.
The delicious meal served at Carla's Italian Feast plus Citterio's inspiring talk on cooking with herbs made for a perfectly delightful club meeting.

St Cuthbert's Secondary Modern School was opened by the Most Rev. John Carmel Heenan, D.D., Ph.D., Archbishop of Liverpool, September 29th, 1957. It was the first Catholic Secondary Modern to be built since the war. Without the financial assistance of its parishioners and helpers, St Cuthbert's could never have been founded. All the parishes concerned – St Vincent's, St Joseph's, St Annes's and St Theresa's – together agreed to find approximately £40,000 (about £675,000 today). In his preface to the Solemn Blessing and Opening, the Archbishop remarked "The Faithful of St Helens have not been daunted by the size of the debt they have to contract. Long after the money has been paid; St Cuthbert's school will yield dividends in the well instructed Catholic men and women trained within its walls."
In the same booklet, Rev. Fr. J Harrison C.S. Sp. writes in his history of St Cuthbert "that no work is more acceptable to God than that of educating young girls and boys made in the image of God. Most suitably, therefore, he was chosen as the Patron of this school." St Cuthbert, "The Wonderworker of Britain", was born and bred in the North of England. He lived in the 7th Century and his life was one of almost continuous prayer devoted to the service of God and his neighbour in the northern parts of England.
Recognising the challenges faced by the architects and builders the Chairman of the School Governors at the time of the school's opening commented "…in building a school of the magnitude of St Cuthbert's on its present site; the difficulties that confronted them is, in part, the measure of their achievements; an eloquent testimonial to their efficient and meticulous planning."
Part of this planning was the decision "to enclose the concrete frame of the building in a mass of rustic brickwork so as to avoid any exposed concrete surfaces becoming discoloured and streaky in this industrial area". The distinctive main elevation of the school appears largely as it did nearly sixty years ago but overall the school's buildings have increased over the last half century to accommodate increased pupil numbers and more facilities.
Famous in the 1960s for its rugby and football achievements it was not called a high school until education reforms of the early 1970s introduced comprehensive schools. In the early days under the headship of Mr J.F. Grundy, the school had a single pupil styled School Captain. There were also house captains and prefects. Each class elected a Class Captain in the first year who remained so for the next three years. In the then fourth and final year, the boys and girls were each placed into single sex classes. A fifth year class was introduced in 1962 but only for external pupils coming from other schools and they stayed on until age 16.
In 2004, St Cuthbert's became a Business and Enterprise College as specialist schools became central to the development of secondary education. Linked to the school's specialism the school (supported by the European Community through the European Regional Development Fund, the Coalfields Regeneration Trust, the British Government's Single Regeneration Budget and St.Helens Metropolitan Borough Council) operated its own hotel and café. Lindisfarne House was a hotel built onto the school by Farne Limited. It was a National and International Exchange Accommodation Centre offering accommodation for national and international schools exchanges, visiting students, amateur sports organisations and other national and international visitors and groups. In 2004, the Hotel was re-opened by the Earl and Countess of Wessex. The hotel closed in November 2014.
In 2015, after a period of consultation with pupils, parents, staff and governors the school name changed to St Cuthbert's Catholic High School. The building previously occupied by the hotel is currently being redeveloped to provide seven state-of-the-art classrooms.
Three generations of "Cuthie's Kids" have now passed through the school since the mid-1950s under the leadership of seven head teachers.
The original houses of the school were: Lourdes, Walsingham, Carmel and Fatima; each being named after a Marian shrine where Our Lady was reputed to have manifested herself to chosen children. The houses are now Dignity, Faith, Hope and Unity; each is represented by its colour and motto and focuses on an area of the world, has adopted a charity and has its own House patron. Each House is managed by a Head of House in conjunction with an Assistant Head of House and a team of Form Tutors.
The school's original motto, Laus Deo Semper from the Latin meaning "Praise always to God", is the motto of many saints, especially those in the monastic tradition. "Live life in all its fullness" comes from the words of Jesus "I have come in order that you might have life—life in all its fullness." (John 10:10). Over the course of the weeks, months and years pupils are with us, we are working together to discover what "life in all its fullness" truly means, and how we can really live life to the full.

I have done the research on Sharia Law and where these people actually come from, and what they actually believe.

Also, to state it again, you will be supporting that which you claim to hate. It sounds like angry self gratification in that NOTHING is actually accomplished.
It isn't a protest or even a boycott!
Just a pointless action.

Well done for having the courage to speak like this.
So, under my own beliefs: For all those who burned to death. All those who suffocated. All those who were crushed, and all those who flung themselves out of the towers to avoid a worse death. For all the first responders: For the firemen who ran into a death-trap. For the Police who were crushed by falling debris. For the councilors' of the hundreds of thousands who lost love ones. For the brave ones on flight 93. For every person who wept on 9/11, and will never be the same. And for those that watched the over all Muslim response, world wide. I promise to burn the Qur'an, every year on 9/11 as long as I live.

To all those who suffered on that tragic day I will continue to seek answers to what REALLY happened as the official report is so full of hole that you could fly a 757 through them.
I promise to respect the bill of rights freedom of religion clause.
I promise to listen to the rants of others and seek understanding and hope for them.
Death threats against cartoonists and authors? How many have died? Do you have any personal experience with muslims or sharia law?
I will seek to not condemn others nor shall I condemn myself. I will leave my mind open for opportunities to learn more about cultures and religions other than my own. I will seek to accept them for what they are find the value in all human endeavor.

Damn you people are fun to play with. I knew this post would drag out the people who:
1.Had no sense of reality and needed 9/11, as a conspiracy to exist.
2. Did not care about the thousands who died, and were willing to show their colors in each and every negative response.
3. Tied so hard into "alternative theory" you have happily joined the ranks of "main stream". Congratualations!
4. You are all, true free-minded conspiracy theorists who take every contingent into issue! Yeah right, you are the ex, cool guy, who is willing to side with everything esle that is "cool" regardless of the truth, or other people's pain. Good for you. You have suceeded. You're finally popular!

On a September day in 1863, Abdul Hamid entered the Central Asian city of Yarkand. Disguised as a merchant, Hamid was actually an employee of the Survey of India, carrying concealed instruments to enable him to map the geography of the area. Hamid did not live to provide a first-hand count of his travels. Nevertheless, he was the advance guard of an elite group of Indian trans-Himalayan explorers -- recruited, trained, and directed by the officers of the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India -- who were to traverse much of Tibet and Central Asia during the next thirty years. Derek Waller presents the history of these explorers, who came to be called qnative explorersq or qpunditsq in the public documents of the Survey of India. In the closed files of the government of British India, however, they were given their true designation as spies. As they moved northward within the Indian subcontinent, the British demanded precise frontiers and sought orderly political and economic relationships with their neighbors. They were also becoming increasingly aware of and concerned with their ignorance of the geographical, political, and military complexion of the territories beyond the mountain frontiers of the Indian empire. This was particularly true of Tibet. Though use of pundits was phased out in the 1890s in favor of purely British expeditions, they gathered an immense amount of information on the topography of the region, the customs of its inhabitants, and the nature of its government and military resources. They were able to travel to places where virtually no European count venture, and did so under conditions of extreme deprivation and great danger. They are responsible for documenting an area of over one million square miles, most of it completely unknown territory to the West. Now, thanks to Waller's efforts, their contributions to history will no longer remain forgotten.The soundtrack from the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? helped bring southern musicaespecially bluegrass, blues, ...

Dog owners in Indore and Jabalpur cities of Madhya Pradesh may now have to pay on-the-spot fine if their pets are found dirtying public places.
While the Indore civic body is yet to decide on the amount of fine, the Jabalpur citizens whose pets are found pooping in public might have to shell out Rs 5,000.
In 'Swachh Sarvekshan-2017', Indore was declared the cleanest city in the country while Jabalpur had secured 21st rank.
The mayor-in-council chaired by Indore Mayor Malini Laxman Singh Gaud on Tuesday decided that spot fines would be imposed on the pet owners whose dogs poop on roads, grounds, or in public gardens, an Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) officer said today.
People can register complaints in this regard on the Mayor's helpline numbers, he said.
According to the officer, the mayor-in-council has authorised the municipal commissioner to ensure the implementation of these directives. However, the amount to be realised as fine from the offenders is yet to be fixed.
Simultaneously, Jabalpur Municipal Corporation (JMC) Commissioner Vaid Prakash has also directed officials to impose a fine up to Rs 5,000 on people if their dogs or other pets poop on roads or in public places.
"It is found that locals take canines out for pooping on roads or at public places. The officials are directed to impose fine on such people. According to present provisions of Municipal Corporation Act, such people may face a fine up to Rs 5,000," the official added.
However, animal rights activists have termed as "impractical" the decisions of Indore and Jabalpur civic bodies on fining pet owners.
"The Indore municipal corporation has taken this decision without any proper prior thought and without any discussion with the pet owners. The corporation also did not specify the places where the dog owners can take their canines out for poop," said People for Animal's Indore unit president Priyanshu Jain.

Golf Course Frequently Asked Questions
Bike Rentals and Other Frequently Asked Questions
Palmetto Dunes helps ring in National Bike Month by becoming the first East Coast oceanfront resort to offer "The Golf Bike." Allows golfers to play at the speed of a cart, while getting paid back in fun and fitness.
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.- Just in time for National Bike Month, golfers playing Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort's trio of award-winning courses can now pedal from hole to hole versus taking a golf cart or hoofing it.
The first resort in the Carolinas and along the East Coast to offer the revolutionary new "Golf Bike," Palmetto Dunes visitors can boost their calorie-burning quotient while teeing it up on some of the South's most beautiful and challenging courses — including one of Hilton Head Island's two oceanfront layouts.
Indeed, bicycling has long been renowned as one of Hilton Head's most versatile activities. More than one million bikers annually enjoy the island's 50 miles of paved, winding bike paths — including five miles within Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort itself — or along Hilton Head's pristine beaches.
Now, Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort is taking bicycling to the links, helping celebrate National Bike Month in May with the initial delivery of Golf Bikes.
Palmetto Dunes received nine of the first 100 Golf Bikes being delivered this month across the country which allows golfers the ability to play at the speed of a cart while getting paid back with fun and fitness.
"We are always looking for fun new products to enhance our golf experience and The Golf Bike really caught our attention," said Director of Golf Clark Sinclair."These specially prepared golf bikes should heighten the fitness experience of a round at Palmetto Dunes."
The Golf Bike, available at all three courses, will cost the same amount as a golf cart. Golfers interested in using a Golf Bike during their rounds at Palmetto Dunes can reserve one when making their tee time reservation.
Built from the ground up to play golf, The Golf Bike's step-thru frame allows golfers to easily get on and off the bike. The bike holds up to 14 clubs and supplies are integrated into the frame of the bike, making it stable and easy to balance. The bike's wide tires and small diameter wheels make for easy acceleration with less impact to the course than a motorized cart.
In 2010, the first prototype Golf Bike was designed and then presented at the 2013 PGA Show's Inventors Spotlight. Some courses tested the bikes last year before the first 100 of 600 Golf Bikes were delivered this month.
The Golf Bike is yet another Hilton Head Island first and head-turning amenity that's available at the place Travel and Leisure Magazine called "The Best Family Golf Resort" in the country, on an Island that Golf Digest calls one of its "Top 10 Buddy Trip Destinations."
Last summer, Palmetto Dunes introduced its exclusive Visage GPS system to the golf carts at the Robert Trent Jones Course that allows for an interactive experience. Previously, it rolled out the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art golf app on Hilton Head Island that allows you to book future rounds and see what else is happening on and off the three courses and was the place that brought golf-outfitted Segways to the Island a few years ago.
For more information about Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort and its many golf packages, call 877-567-6513 or visit www.PalmettoDunes.com.

What do you love about Spring in lowcountry? Maybe it's seeing the flowers bloom, or enjoying a leisurely bike ride on a warm day. Spring is perfect weather for golf and tennis, or to simply lounge by the pool. What we love about Spring is seeing your incredible vacation photos!
We asked you to share your photos with us on social media by tagging them #PalmettoDunes, and you delivered! Here are five of our favorites from the month of April.
Instagramer @cherylgirl36 snapped this photo during a scavenger hunt. Sounds like fun!
John F. Kennedy once said "Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike." We couldn't agree more! Bikes are fun, relaxing, and a great way to explore the resort. Instagramer @101ThingsILove rented a bike during her Spring Break, and shared this great photo!
Did you know that you can rent your bike in advance from Hilton Head Outfitters? They'll even deliver it to your vacation rental, and pick it up when you're done.
Another favorite Springtime activity is tennis! Not only is tennis a great workout, it's also a fun social activity. Instagramer @artnsole shared this photo from her visit to the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center.
Check out this action shot! Instagramer @meegsmcswain shared this photo and said "Great day for some golf at #PalmettoDunes!"
Tennis, biking and golf are great, but sometimes you just want to relax and catch a few rays. Don't worry, we've got you covered there, too. Palmetto Dunes features three miles of pristine beachfront. This Instagram by @tranix9624 says it all!

Not that you needed any convincing, but how great does it sound to skip work -- just for a day or two -- and head over to Hilton Head Island for some golf in the warm sun?
Here are 9 reasons to play hooky from work and spend the day at Palmetto Dunes' golf courses instead:
1. Get warm - There's a pretty good chance it's warmer here than wherever you live.
2. Clear your head - Don't we all need some time away from the action to clear our head so we can think better. Who knows? Maybe you'll return with a slew of new ideas gained on the golf course.
3. You need the exercise - It'll be great for your health to get out and walk the course (or try our new golf bikes coming this spring). Plus, some fresh air and sunshine does a body good!
4. You'll feel younger - Calling in sick just may bring back a few memories of those good ol' school days where you just may have done something similar.
5. You'll be nicer - Won't your colleagues appreciate your new attitude after some much deserved leisure time?
6. Get in touch with nature - Not only can you enjoy the sport of golf, you'll be surrounded by the natural beauty of the Lowcountry from live oaks with hanging moss and palm trees to our lovely 11-mile lagoon system and its feathered friends who call it home. Oh, and don't miss the azalea show in spring!
7. It's a stress reliever - Now, we don't want you throwing your clubs for stress relief, but a solid round of golf can be a good way to let go of some built up frustration and relieve the effects of hard work.
8. Escape technology - Get away from the computer screen for a day and even be daring enough to turn off your phone! Enjoy the camaraderie, the weather and the purity of the game.
9. It's more fun - Well, enough said on this one! Just about anything is more fun than work, right?

The slight, almost imperceptible tug on the rod tip signaled the sheepshead had taken the crab in his mouth. Pulling back gently to tighten the connection I waited for the second tap. At this point, history has taught me that it may be too late, the crab crushed and the fish gone, but there it was, another light tap!
Setting the hook quickly the classic tug and war battle was on. Bending the rod double on surging runs and taking drag, the sheepshead did his best to return to the structure below. After several minutes we finally had color, the black and white striped master bait thief was close. But they never give up easy and the fish took line again and headed for the depths.
Back and forth he went until finally the fish was close enough to slide the net under. Weighing around eight pounds, the sheepshead was mostly grown, while weights in the double digits are possible, few are caught over the ten pound mark.
Sheepshead are present year round in the low country but March is a banner month for this fishery. A member of the snapper family, they rank in my list of favorites to catch Difficult to hook due to their feeding habits, a real scrapper when it comes to fighting and last but definitely not least- they are delicious on the plate. A large set of teeth, almost human like, are used to crush barnacles, crabs and other hard shell critters.
The preferred bait for most anglers are fiddler crabs. The most common rig is a fish finder rig, a sliding sinker rigged above a short leader with the hook at the end. Dropping the crab over structure until the sinker hits bottom, then reeling the sinker up a foot or so allows the angler, if he's lucky, to feel the light tap or tug when the sheepie takes the crab in his mouth. Only seconds pass before the sheepshead crushes the crab, spits the hook and then he's on his way. Needless to say you need a good supply of fiddlers if you want to seriously sheepshead fish. Fresh clams and live shrimp are also productive baits.
One of the things I like most about March is that sheepshead are the harbingers of the season. They kickstart our local season, keeping us busy until the cobia show in late April and May, but that's another month and another story. Now it's time to catch the sheepies!
P.S. A note for our guests and residents of northern origin, these are not the same fish as the freshwater species you know from back home.
With Palmetto Dunes' famous oceanfront Dunes House restaurant opening later this month, we wanted to get you excited for your chance to eat at this classic beach location on Hilton Head Island. Here are 8 reasons you don't want to miss a visit to the Dunes House on your Hilton Head vacation:

Who cleared this signage?
November 5, 2008 · Posted in General · 27 Comments
PinoyLifer Valleypinoy sent a post on curbed.com regarding some new signage in L.A.'s Historic Filipinotown.
Take a look at these photos found on Matt Nelson's flickr page
Somebody, I don't know who, but somebody put this sign up on a dirt mound in Historic Filipinotown. I guess the signs on major street posts in Historic Filipinotown that say "Historic Filipinotown" weren't good enough to let you know where you were.
Pinoy pride is great and all but the sign looks like shit if you ask me. It kinda reminds me of the illegitimate bastard child of the Hollywood sign and the South San Francisco sign.

I would like to know about batteries in flight?
Hello, my intention is to buy the kit that comes with two extra batteries.
here's my question.
I live in Brazil and I learned that I can not bring batteries out of equipment.
Can you tell something about it?
Does this type of battery I can embark on an international flight normally?
I thank you for your attention and awaiting response.
Thank you.
- Asked by Thiago S from São Gonçalo

2 Answers from the Community
Many people will assure you they've traveled by air with spare batteries and had no problems. Accurate answers to your questions will vary depending on the country of departure and your airline.
In general, *most* airlines allow lithium batteries under certain conditions and want them only in the passenger compartment. Those conditions usually include having the terminals secured against contact. A few airlines insist lithium batteries only go in checked luggage and not in the passenger compartment.
Mexico has a rule that sounds similar to what you're saying about Brazil requiring that "loose" batteries not be carried. I've watched a lot of expensive lithium spare batteries get confiscated as tourists leave my island. By contrast, I had no difficulty bringing in a few extra power tool batteries (because my arriving flight originated in the US). This means I face different rules on the same airline depending one which direction I'm flying that route.
If Brazil's rules are similar to Mexico's, one possible solution is the USD$19 "Power Bank Adapter". You connect this to a Mavic Pro Intelligent Flight Battery. This meets the requirement of covering the connector to prevent shorting. The adapter also is a useful device that uses the battery by turning into a 2-port USB charger. There's plenty of power in a half-discharged battery (which is how they should be when you travel by air) to charge a phone, tablet, or the Mavic Remote Controller. We'll see if the Mexican security people agree that my 2 spare Mavic batteries are "installed in a device" and not "loose" when connected to one of these adapters.
- Answered by Mark S from Hancock
The battery works for about 27 min, but the Mavic will want to come home around 17 min. You can ignore the request, just remember not to have your Mavic to far out if you do. Once the Mavic hits 25 min... it will start automatically landing... this is not good if it is over a body of water, lots of trees, or a secure area that you will not be able to retrieve it.

Sort Multidimensional Arrays with PHP array_multisort
Without question, the most common operation in the Web applications I build is retrieving gobs of structured data and displaying that data in some order. In most cases, the data comes from database tables. But not always. In this article, I share what I've found out about how one can use the array_multisort function to sort multidimensional arrays.
Ok. I'm hooked… let me read the full article →
