So, just how cold does it get in Denmark, and does the weather change dramatically throughout the year? Well, it can get pretty cold in the winter months - January and February can get very icy, which is not popular among the bicyclists in Denmark :) In the summer, however, it can be just like in San Diego - nice and warm. The only thing about the summer is, that you never know....You must come prepared, even though the weather channel promised a sunny and clear sky :)
I've noticed there are a lot of amusement parks in Denmark - is there a particular reason why? Is there one you visited the most while growing up?
Hmmmmm, that's a good question. My guess is that Tivoli has inspired many, as it is the oldest (1843) and one of the most popular amusement parks in Europe. Personally, Tivoli is also my favorite - there's just something about it - It has a soul. Just walking around in there is a great way to spend time - you don't even have to spend money on rides.
What is your favorite Danish holiday?
Christmas - no doubt about it! My family has so many traditions and it's very important for us to stick with them. The day before christmas eve (Dec. 23) my mom prepares "ris a l'amande" (the dessert for christmas eve - and no, it's not french. They don't even know about this dish in France :)) This night we are mostly all gathered, waiting for the day to arrive. On the 24., it's all about the family - I go visit my closest family in the afternoon (where "the kids" always watch Disney's Christmas Show on TV), we eat homemade marcipan confections, and smell the duck or goose getting ready in the oven. And then, at six, we gather around the table, say a little thank-you-prayer (even though we're not particularly Christian), and then we eat (goose, cooked red cabbage, cooked white cabbage, tiny sugared potatoes, and of course, gravy). We eat the dessert. And then just sit and talk across the lit candles. THEN we gather around the tree to dance and sing. We typically sing 4-5 different christmas carols before we start distributing the presents underneath the tree. Around midnight, we go to midnight mass. Two days after christmas, the entire family gather for a big christmas lunch (julefrokost) with schnapps, pickled herring, rye bread, and much much more. Love it! :)
Could you tell me about your favorite Danish meal?
Hmm...that's a hard one :) One of them is my grand mothers "frikadeller" with her homemade creamy cooked white cabbage. Not healthy, but SO good! My other favorite is seedy, chewy rye bread with toppings ( what we call Smørrebrød) - my favorite topping being cooked potatoes with mayo, chives and salt and pepper, OR smoked salmon OR "leverpostej" (a kind of paté) with cucumber OR fish fillets with "remoulade" (don't know how to explain the last one, haha)
|Danish Danishes
Are the American pastries, Danishes, actually anything like authentic Danish pastries?
I'd say they are similar :) I'm no big pastry eater, but even I must admit that there's something about Danish pastries from the local bakery. Can't really explain what it is - you'll have to go and give it a taste :)
How do you feel about the recent Danish "Fat Tax"?
I think it's a good idea, but I hope people will keep buying all the great Danish cheeses - we're pretty good with cheese in Denmark. And many fear that artificial flavors will take over the food industry. SO we'll see. I just think it's too bad that it had to come to this. I would've preferred that people could figure out how to enjoy saturated fat in moderation.
What kinds of pets do Danish people tend to have? Are Great Danes really Danish?
I think the most popular dogs in Denmark are Labrador Retriever and Golden Retriever - both great family dogs. The Great Dane is supposedly Danish, some claim that it is German. It's an old breed, so it's hard to say:) But I love 'em!
|Danish monarchy
What is your view of the Danish monarchy?
Hmm, another hard one... I like the Monarchy - without them Denmark wouldn't be Denmark anymore. They have a lot of value for us. However, I think they get a litle too much of our tax money. I definitely want to support the restoration of our castles and such, but they seem to get way more than that. But I'm no expert :)
Could you describe Copenhagen a bit?
I love the fact, that if you have a bike, you can get everywhere downtown, and the public transportation is great. The lakes in central Copenhaven are beautiful and kinda keeps the city in balance - just like the many green areas. Strøget, which is the shopping street and its surrounding shopping streets make it easy to get to all the stores - you can walk from one end to another, to the third and fourth - way more charming than american malls, I must admit ;)
If you had to sum up the Danish people's outlook on life in just a few words, what would you say?
I can only speak for the people I know, of course, and generally their outlook is very positive - they work hard to balance work and family. They love seeing the world and love being inspired, but at the same time they love even more to come home :)
|Danish Rye Bread
What have you missed the most about Denmark while you've been in America?
My family! Rye bread - real rye bread! ;) Getting all over town by bike (it just doesn't feel very safe here. I've also missed that you don't have to leave a tip everywhere you go - I never got used to that here in the US - I never knew how much to leave. In Denmark the price is higher, but it also includes tips, so you don't have to worry about that. Oh, and I miss the free health care, haha.
What will you miss most about America when you go back?
That it's so cheap to eat out (despite the tipping)! Steelcut oatmeal (we don't seem to have that in Denmark). All the organic stores! - Whole Foods, Trader Joe's. We need stores like that in Denmark. I'm gonna miss the people here too - they are all so open and welcoming. It's so easy to get to know people here! And of course, I am gonna miss the weather here in San Diego - it's SO NICE, and it's great to only need to buy for one wardrobe, haha. I'm gonna miss fish tacos and fish burritos, and the America BBQs :)

Why Does My Pond Water Turn Green?
Joanne – Evans City, PA
Green water is a form of algae called planktonic algae and there are quite a few factors causing your water to be clear during the winter and green as the weather warms up. The main reason is the interruption of the nitrogen cycle.
In order for algae to grow, it needs a food source (nutrients) and sunlight. During the colder winter months of the year, nutrients within the water are less likely to increase due to the fact that the digestive systems of fish have slowed to a point where little, if any, nutrients (fish waste) are being added. Also, during the colder months, algae and aquatic plants are not as active at consuming nutrients.
As the weather warms up, fish become active, digestive systems kick back in and nutrients begin pouring in and if not held in check using aquatic plants, natural bacteria and filtration, green water will develop.
If you have chronic green water and still can't keep it in check, consider a UV or Ion clarifier.

Preface: Due to misleading claims about Sathya Sai Baba, the UK Sai Youth Group and the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards, the following article relating to the British Controversy is provided for factual background information.
Queen Of England Honored Sai Youth Of UK In 2005 With Duke of Edinburgh's Award
2006 is a very special year in Great Britain, it marked the 80th Birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the 50th Anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme for young people. To celebrate both events a special Royal Garden Party was organised at Buckingham Palace on Thursday 13th July 2006.
Royal Garden Parties have been held at Buckingham Palace since the 1860's by Queen Victoria. In fact, Queen Elizabeth II has always worked hard to recognise the efforts of those people who best embody the spirit of Great Britain.
This year was no exception: approximately 8,000 invitations were sent out to various dignitaries, diplomats, ministers, famous celebrities, and ordinary people who had made a unique contribution to society.
But the most heartening fact was this – the National Youth Wing of the Sri Sathya Sai Service Organisation United Kingdom, had been chosen by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh to attend and receive a special certificate of gratitude and recognition for the outstanding contribution made by its Youth towards nation-building and promoting happiness and harmony within the community. This indeed was a great honour and further demonstrates the respect and gratitude that the country has for the humanitarian work being undertaken by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
The National U.K Youth Co-ordinator, Shitu Chudasama, had been asked to speak at Buckingham Palace during the presentation ceremony on the work of the Sai Youth and the Sri Sathya Sai Service Organisation.
This was extremely well received and all marvelled at the wonderful work being done by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. When the certificate was presented, instead of bearing the name of the Sai Organisation, the certificate instead bore the name of 'Sri Sathya Sai'.
"It was a blessing, a shower of Grace" – Mr. Shitu Chudasama
Recounting his memorable experience, Mr. Shitu Chudasama said:
As soon as Rita, my wife and I arrived at Buckingham Palace, we were escorted to a special enclosure where we were introduced to some famous Hollywood actors, actresses, and people who had received honours for doing outstanding and heroic deeds. We were extremely nervous and at this point wondering what we were doing here. However the celebrities were most kind and extremely humble. Tim Burton, a famous Hollywood director who directed famous movies such as 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', 'Planet of the Apes', and 'Batman', came up to us and started asking questions about what we did. We started talking to him about Swami and Swami's Youth and the wonderful work that is being done in United Kingdom. He straightaway said that America needs an Organisation like this – we told him that America already had one. He mentioned how some of the youth that he had come across in the movie world were so badly behaved and lacked manners. He further went on to marvel at Bhagawan's youth and how impressed he was by them.
When the time for the speeches and award ceremony came, my heart started beating very fast. What was I to say? How can one describe in a few minutes the marvellous and miraculous humanitarian projects that are undertaken by Bhagawan.
I was the last speaker called up, and suddenly a confidence, and a joy engulfed my being. I spoke about the wonderful work being done by our Sai Organisation Youth in United Kingdom. I attributed everything to our founder Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. As I spoke I watched the sea of faces, there was a look of excitement on their faces as if to say 'why have we not heard of this Organisation before?'
Suddenly the certificate was presented to me. Instead of having the name of the Sai Organisation, the certificate bore the name "Sri Sathya Sai" – I looked again, and was dumbfounded. For that split second as everyone cheered and clapped loudly, I felt the omni presence of our beloved Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba at Buckingham Palace. Then I knew that this was a gift from Bhagawan Himself. A blessing, a shower of Grace for all the Sai Youth in UK that work so hard contributing to Bhagawan's Mission of Dharmasansthapana – establishing righteousness in the world.
After the award ceremony, we were then escorted to a special section, which was lined with the Queen's guards. We were asked to wait here so that we could meet the Queen. At 4.00pm, as the National Anthem was played by the Royal Band, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, together with other members of the Royal Family emerged from the Palace and started to greet their guests.
We could not believe this remarkable Grace Swami had bestowed upon the Sai Organisation. As the Queen walked gracefully by, one noticed that there was a very special aura and energy around the Queen, something quite beautiful, enigmatic, and spiritual. The Queen had dedicated her whole life to serving her country and people.
As she walked passed, looking at all and smiling, you could not help but notice that her smile never once left her face. She was extremely patient with everyone and spent two hours greeting and welcoming everyone. All in all it was a truly memorable and uplifting event."
The award reads, as you can see from the picture, "This certificate is presented to Sri Sathya Sai on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh's award with grateful thanks from the patron … for Your invaluable contribution as a partner of the award in helping to provide an enjoyable, challenging and rewarding personal development programme for young people."
Now what is Duke of Edinburgh's award? And how and when did the Sai Organisation of UK become associated with it?
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is an international leadership in action programme established in 1956 by its Founder and Patron, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh (the husband of the Queen of England). The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is a voluntary, non-competitive programme of practical cultural and adventurous activities. It is designed to support the personal and social development of young people aged 14-25, regardless of gender, background, or ability.
Being voluntary, flexible, non-competitive, balanced, progressive, challenging and most of all enjoyable, it provides an opportunity for young people to achieve personal excellence and build self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance, self-motivation and respect for others via their involvement in service, skill, physical recreation and expedition activities.
The partnership of the Sai Organisation of UK with the Duke of Edinburgh award and the tremendous positive international contribution of the UK Sai Youth is what lead to the recent recognition award from the Queen. But the whole episode has its genesis in November 2004. 180 youth from United Kingdom embarked upon the National UK Youth Pilgrimage to Prashanti Nilayam for Bhagawan's blessings that year. The trip was both unique and multi-faceted. It was a message of love for Bhagawan that His youth in UK were ready and waiting to take up the baton of His mission. The Pilgrimage consisted of a Youth Service Camp, the UK Youth Choir, Youth Speakers and a Mini-Prashanti UK Youth Conference which were all held in Prashanti Nilayam leading up to Sathya Sai Baba's Birthday.
The Youth Service Camp was entitled "Helping Hands and Healing Hearts" and a phenomenal amount of planning, energy, goodwill and sacrifice went into the work. For over 5 days, the Youth visited 4 villages near Puttaparthi that were not easily accessible by bus or car. The Youth Service Camp was unlike anything ever attempted before by UK youth. 5 tonnes of equipment was taken from the United Kingdom consisting of medical supplies, the latest health scanners, thousands of saris, baby clothes, and toys.
The camp consisted of a plethora of service activities for the needy villagers: Narayan Seva, workshops on hygiene in the villages, the installation of toilets, the providing of water pumps and water pipelines. There was also seva directed specifically to the women of the villages: talks, medical check-ups, and counselling to improve their quality of life. For the children there was distribution of clothes, music, games and special dramas. The youth also engaged in village cleaning and maintenance, the reconstruction of a dilapidated village temple and installation of its village deities. And finally, a large scale Medical Camp which provided general medical care, eye care, paediatrics, dentistry, physiotherapy, massage, diabetes screening and cancer screening.
The entire cost and expenses of the Youth Service Camp totalling around $45,000 was solely funded by the youth, which was inspired and enabled by Swami's Ceiling on Desires Programme. During the Medical Camp Vibhuti started materialising on the badges worn by a number of our Youth. The Pilgrimage proved to be a very powerful magnet in not only empowering the youth to become leaders but also bringing out other qualities in them such as self-confidence, discipline, and compassion.
On returning to the UK, the National Youth Wing was contacted by His Royal Highness, The Duke of Edinburgh's Office, and informed that they wanted to award each of our Sai Youth the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh's Award. They had heard about the wonderful work that was done in Puttaparthi by our Sai Youth in UK .
On 9th August 2005, the Sri Sathya Sai Service Organisation (UK) formalised its partnership with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme by signing the much-coveted Operating Licence Agreement. This gives the Organisation the mandate and authority to run this famous Award scheme and to award the certificates within the structure of the UK Organisation for all youth aged between 14-25 years.
At the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Ceremony, held on Saturday 3rd September 2005 in London, all 180 youth from the National UK Youth Pilgrimage received their Duke of Edinburgh's Award certificates in front of an audience of 450 people.
Presiding over the ceremony was the Chief Executive (CEO) of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, Peter Westgarth. Peter was extremely impressed with the Sri Sathya Sai Organisation and in particular the calibre of its youth. This was truly a historic event in the history of the Sri Sathya Sai Service Organisation in UK and a befitting tribute to our Lord during His 80th year of Love in Action. The Sai Youth of UK said:
"The invitation to the Organisation to attend the Queen's Royal Garden Party and receive the award is a valuable testimony of recognition for the Sai youth in the UK. The youth of the United Kingdom are indeed grateful to Bhagawan for the wonderful Grace that He has bestowed upon them with the presentation of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Certificate."

text: Hello, I was hoping that maybe someone on this mailing list would know how to do this. I am trying to create a queue system based on the following: 1 route queue and 2 execute queues. I plan to have everyone submit jobs to the route queue (ROCIT) and have the route queue submit the jobs to the execute queues (switch1,switch2). I have done the following in PBS: # # Create queues and set their attributes. # # # Create and define queue ROCIT # create queue ROCIT set queue ROCIT queue_type = Route set queue ROCIT acl_host_enable = False set queue ROCIT acl_hosts = *.rocit.cluster set queue ROCIT route_destinations = switch1 set queue ROCIT route_destinations += switch2 set queue ROCIT enabled = True set queue ROCIT started = True # # Create and define queue switch1 # create queue switch1 set queue switch1 queue_type = Execution set queue switch1 acl_host_enable = True set queue switch1 acl_hosts = n3 set queue switch1 acl_hosts += n2 set queue switch1 enabled = True set queue switch1 started = True # # Create and define queue switch2 # create queue switch2 set queue switch2 queue_type = Execution set queue switch2 acl_host_enable = True set queue switch2 acl_hosts = n5 set queue switch2 acl_hosts += n22 set queue switch2 enabled = True set queue switch2 started = True # # Set server attributes. # set server scheduling = True set server acl_host_enable = True set server acl_hosts = *.rocit.cluster set server acl_roots = root set server managers = jraheb@*.rocit.cluster set server default_queue = ROCIT set server log_events = 511 set server mail_from = adm set server query_other_jobs = True set server resources_default.nodect = 1 set server resources_default.nodes = 1 set server scheduler_iteration = 600 set server default_node = n2 set server node_pack = False Everything above looks right to me, however, when I try to submit a job to the route queue it tells me that my job was rejected by all possible destinations. This leads me to believe that the settings in the nodes that are given to each execute queue are not correct. I have tried giving the execution queues the nicknames (n1,n2,etc..) and the full hostname (n1.rocit.cluster,...) but neither way works. Anyone know whats going on?? Please let me know...

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Abortion. When one thinks of the many dangers and threats facing Israel, abortion is not usually on the list. But it should be. Since Israel's rebirth as a nation state 63 years ago, 40,000 Israeli babies have been lost to abortion on average every year. That's well over two million unborn children terminated, more than the number of Jewish children killed in the Nazi Holocaust.
Considering population growth rates over the past six decades, had those two million unborn babies been given a chance at life, there would be an additional 10 million Israelis today. The moral argument against abortion aside, in light of the perceived demographic threat to the Jewish state it is not difficult to see why abortion is such a danger to this tiny nation.
One of the very few organizations working to reverse this trend is Messianic-run Be'ad Chaim (Hebrew for "Pro Life"). Despite the fact that those running Be'ad Chaim are unreserved believers in Yeshua, the organization enjoys a considerable level of cooperation with state authorities, enabling it to help young women with unplanned pregnancies across Israel.
While Be'ad Chaim does actively battle against the phenomenon of "abortion-on-demand" in Israel, dealing with girls in what it calls "crisis pregnancies" calls for a softer approach.
"Our goal is to show women, and men, an alternative to abortion, so that they will choose life," reads Be'ad Chaim's website. "We want them to realize God's promise to His people, Israel, as he says in Deuteronomy 30:19: 'I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessings and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your children may live.'"
To accomplish that, Be'ad Chaim has a program that provides education and counseling at centers throughout Israel. After the girls have decided to keep their baby, Be'ad Chaim goes the extra mile and provides practical assistance by purchasing strollers, baby beds, clothes, diapers and formula, and even paying rent for those who would otherwise be unable to put a roof over their baby's head.
To give just a small taste of how Be'ad Chaim is impacting lives, Israel Today spoke to two of the hundreds of girls the organization helps every year. The girls' names have been changed to protect their identity.
When she was just 20-years-old, American-born Miriam found herself living as a homeless heroin addict on the streets of Jerusalem. What's worse, she was a pregnant 20-year-old heroin addict.
"I thought about doing an abortion," she said. "After all, what kind of life could I provide a baby?"
Fortunately, before Miriam could go through with the only option she felt was open to her, a fellow new immigrant directed her to Be'ad Chaim, which promptly went to work finding Miriam an adoptive home, getting her clean and teaching her why the life growing inside her was precious.
While Miriam had been exposed to faith in Yeshua (Jesus) earlier in her life, it wasn't until her experience with Be'ad Chaim that she became a true believer. Today, Miriam is drug-free and dedicated to her faith and her baby girl, who just celebrated her first birthday.
When Dafna became pregnant with her fourth child, she likewise found herself in a desperate situation. A certified alcoholic, Dafna was ready to take help from anyone (presumably in any form). But friends told her to try Be'ad Chaim first, and she does not regret taking their advice.
"Be'ad Chaim was far more loving toward the girls asking for help, and that drew me in," said Dafna. "The support was and continues to be simply amazing."
As is clear from the testimonies of Miriam and Dafna, the work of Be'ad Chaim is twofold. It is about saving the unborn child, but it is also about exposing the downcast mothers to the love of God, a gift that they can in turn impart to their children.

Comedian Tig Notaro Plays Not My Job
In 2012, comedian Louis C.K. tweeted: "In 27 years doing this, I've seen a handful of truly great, masterful standup sets. One was Tig Notaro last night at Largo." The set C.K. was referring to was Notaro's performance the day she was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. That set became "Tig Notaro: Live," which is now out now on iTunes.
We've invited Notaro to play a game called "Tig, meet Tug." Frank Edwin McGraw, known as Tug, was one of the great relief pitchers in baseball, or at least the most colorful. We'll ask Notaro three questions about her near-namesake.
And now the game where we ask accomplished people to do something that barely registers as an accomplishment. Last year, the comedian Louis C.K. tweeted: "In 27 years doing this, I've seen a handful of truly great, masterful standup sets, and one was Tig Notaro last night," unquote. That set became "Tig Notaro: Live." The album is now out now on iTunes, and we're very excited to have her with us today. Tig Notaro welcome to WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!
TIG NOTARO: Thank you.
SAGAL: So you're a standup and have been doing it for years, but you got into it relatively late for a standup, in your late 20s, is that right?
NOTARO: Yeah, I think I was maybe 26 or 27.
SAGAL: And were you one of those people, were you like when you graduated high school, were you like class clown because you were always cracking people up in high school?
NOTARO: Oh, I failed three grades and dropped out of high school.
SAGAL: You failed?
NOTARO: I wasn't - I wasn't voted anything except probably least likely.
SAGAL: Really? You seem like a talented, intelligent, accomplished person. How did you flunk out of high school?
NOTARO: I guess I just wasn't interested. I didn't do work. I - yeah, it was pretty easy.
SAGAL: I guess it actually doesn't take that much, really.
NOTARO: Yeah, it takes very little.
SAGAL: Hey, obviously we want to talk about your record, which has been out for a while, called "Live," it's not called "Live," although it's spelled that way, even though it is live. And it became, I'd go so far as to say, the most talked about comedy act, well, in years. I can't remember the last time a single comedy act got this much attention. Can you tell us about the circumstance of it for people that don't know?
NOTARO: Well, yeah, I had a really horrible four months of time. I had pneumonia, and then I took antibiotics that caused me to contract this thing called C. diff, which is where this bacteria was eating my digestive tract. And I was hospitalized. And then when I was released from the hospital a few days later, my mother tripped and hit her head and died.
And then I went through a breakup a few weeks after that, and then a few weeks after the breakup, I was diagnosed with cancer. And I went onstage, and I talked about everything I had been through. And it went way better than I imagined.
SAGAL: I feel like I should assure everybody listening at this point, it's really funny.
SAGAL: It's one of - I mean, it's one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time because it's kind of raw. Let's play a little bit of "Tig Notaro: Live," so everybody can hear what it's like.
NOTARO: But you know what's nice about all of this is that you can always rest assured that God never gives you more than you can handle. Never.
NOTARO: Never. When you've had it, God goes all right, that's it. I just keep picturing God going, you know what, I think she can take a little more.
NOTARO: And then the angels are standing back going, God, what are you doing?
NOTARO: You are out of your mind. And God was like, no, no, no, I really think she can handle this.
SAGAL: Did you have to do the thing that comedians do, which is I'm going to write some jokes about cancer, here we go?
NOTARO: Yeah, I mean, I was diagnosed on July 25th, and the show was August 3rd. And so I didn't find anything funny from, you know, from my hospitalization and my mother's death and my breakup. I just wasn't in a lighthearted mood, really. And then once I was diagnosed with cancer, it was like, OK, everything became hilarious to me.
NOTARO: It just was so...
SAGAL: A lot has happened. I mean, I have to say this getting cancer thing was like one of the best things that's happened to you professionally.
NOTARO: It really is.
SAGAL: I mean, are other comedians out there going damn, why can't I get cancer? Because...
NOTARO: I know, when people ask how'd you do it, what do you suggest in comedy, and I'm like just, just get cancer and every other possible thing, you know, that you can get, and then book a show at Largo and get Louis C.K. on the show.
SAGAL: It's worked for you. And I have to ask: How's your health?
NOTARO: I'm in remission.
SAGAL: Yay.
NOTARO: And I'm feeling good, yeah.
SAGAL: Yeah, awesome. I want to ask you: Has anything strange happened to you now that you've become known, God forbid, that this is continuing, as like the cancer comedian, the comedian who did the thing about cancer?
NOTARO: Not - you know, the weirdest thing is that nothing weird has really happened. And, you know, I feel like strangers think they know me but in a very kind way, and they know so much personal stuff about me. And I always tell this story about when I was in New York this last time, and I was going across the street, and this woman came up, and she said, I know you have trouble with your digestive tract, and you have some food issues, but this restaurant right across the street is just absolutely wonderful. You should check it out.
NOTARO: And then she just wandered off. It's like thank you, thank you.
FAITH SALIE: So you're kind of known for creating awkward moments when you're onstage.
NOTARO: Sure, yeah.
SALIE: Like you'll push a chair around for two minutes.
NOTARO: Yeah, ideally longer than two minutes.
SAGAL: Yeah, two minutes is for amateurs. She goes for the half-hour.
SALIE: But are you just not like the rest of us? Like are you totally cool with awkwardness? Are you great on first dates?
NOTARO: I'm horrible on first through 100, the first 100 dates, I'm really not good.
SALIE: How? How are you bad on a date?
NOTARO: I'm very - I'm awkward in not a fun way.
NOTARO: I've gone out with somebody where they couldn't believe I was a comedian. They were just looking at me so confused.
SAGAL: Really?
NOTARO: So that's - yeah, I'm awkward like that. But then in comedy I feel very comfortable when the awkwardness follows me onstage. That's my element, where I'm like oh, this is - this feels right.
SAGAL: So in those moments where any other comedian, as Faith says, were all kind of nervous, are standing there looking in the audience, and they think oh my God, nothing is happening, I feel like killing myself, you're like this is right.
NOTARO: Oh, yeah, if I was onstage and nothing was happening, I would feel like I had made it finally.
SAGAL: Really?
SAGAL: OK, Tig Notaro, we've asked you here to play a game we're calling...
CARL KASELL: Tig, Meet Tug.
SAGAL: Frank Edwin McGraw, known as Tug McGraw, was one of the great relief pitchers in baseball, or at least one of the most colorful. We're going to ask you three questions about your near namesake, Tug McGraw. If you get two right, you'll win our prize for one of our listeners, Carl's voice on their voicemail. Carl, who is comedian Tig Notaro playing for?
KASELL: Tig is playing for Jeremy Meyer of Tempe, Arizona.
SAGAL: Ready to go?
NOTARO: Yeah, and if matters at all, I know who Tug McGraw is.
SAGAL: That's great. OK, here we go. How did Tug McGraw get his nickname? Was it: A, as a boy, he liked to pull larger boys through the playground, like a tugboat; B, it was compromise between his mother's choice of name, Tim, and his father's, Doug; or C, his mother nicknamed him Tug because of his aggressive breastfeeding.
NOTARO: I'm going to go with the first option.
SAGAL: He liked to pull larger boys through the playground like a tugboat? The answer is C, the breastfeeding, at least that's the story that Tug liked to tell later in life.
NOTARO: I feel like I would have been a weirdo if I would have chosen that.
SAGAL: Yeah, don't worry about your reputation. Just go for your instincts.
NOTARO: That is such a weird story. I can't even move on.
SAGAL: I know. All right, next question. After recording the final out in the 1980 World Series as a pitcher for the Phillies, Tug McGraw said what: A, you guys are happy we won a world championship, but I'm happy I just made another 25 grand; B, isn't all sport, indeed all human endeavor, pointless in the face of eternity; or C, New York can take this championship and stick it.
NOTARO: I'm going to say the first choice again.
SAGAL: You guys are happy we won a world championship, but I'm happy I just made another 25 grand? The audience says...
NOTARO: When you repeat it back to me, it makes me feel like I've picked another wrong answer.
SAGAL: Did you pick up that tone of condemnation in my voice? Because...
NOTARO: Yeah, it was just like Tig, the more I talk to you, the more I'm realizing how you failed three grades and dropped out of high school.
SAGAL: So you're not going to pick the first one?
NOTARO: OK, the third one.
SAGAL: New York can take this championship and stick it?
NOTARO: Yes.
SAGAL: You're right, that's what he said.
SAGAL: He later said he regretted that comment. He had played for some years for the New York Mets and felt bad about it. All right, last question, if you get this one right, you win. As a young player, Tug had a relationship with a waitress and was intimate with her, he says, just one time. But that single night in the late '60s resulted in what: A, a lifelong habit of over-tipping; B, a vow of celibacy; or C, the country music star Tim McGraw.
NOTARO: C, Tim McGraw.
SAGAL: You are right.
SAGAL: Tug took off. The waitress later found out she was pregnant, and Tug never acknowledged that her son Tim was his until many years later. Carl, how did Tig Notaro do on our quiz?
KASELL: Tig, you had two correct answers, so you win for Jeremy Meyer.
SAGAL: Well done.
SAGAL: "Tig Notaro: Live" is available on iTunes, her podcast is "Professor Blastoff." Tig Notaro, thank you so much for joining us on WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!.
NOTARO: Thank you.
SAGAL: Thanks, Tig, bye-bye.

It's 2006 and I'm asking a third-year analyst at one of the bulge-bracket investment banks if they would be interested in a role within the corporate development team of one of my blue-chip clients. After a slight pause, the aspiring Master of the Universe politely suggested that I call him back when he was 40.
By that time he would have made his fortune in investment banking, bought the family home in Holland Park and be looking to spend more time with the kids (and possibly the wife). He wasn't ready to be put out to pasture, and would look ridiculous with a moustache in any case. Moving to a corporate was not à la mode.
Fast forward to 2014 and it would be relatively straightforward to put together a shortlist of junior bankers for the strategy team of a widget manufacturer in Slough. What's changed?
The cynical among us might point out that banking pay has been slashed, hours remain arduous, the most common words on deal sheets are 'aborted' and 'ongoing', and the word 'banker' tends to have the same effect as 'estate agent' (or recruitment consultant) use to have. All this adds up to a most unattractive cocktail that pushes young bankers into the arms of a provincial suitor. Conversely, if there's one positive thing the financial crisis has given us, its perspective. People have had time to step back and think about what's important to them personally.
Other factors include the cash-piles that corporates have amassed, news stories about CEOs intent to splash the cash and positive reports from their trailblazing peers who now occupy a seat somewhere near Old Street, working for the next MindCandy and sporting the now-fashionable moustache.
For those who are keen on such a move, the good news is that there is definitely a market. This will be lumpy for the individual as teams are still lean and suitability depends on a mix of criteria including level of experience, sector exposure, languages and potential willingness to relocate. But it's definitely there. Companies want to hire and shape the emerging talent they missed out on at Milkround; they need them to help spend the cash wisely and hope they will become future leaders of their businesses.
The key for any aspiring corporate development person is to consider why they want to make the move. Work/life balance may be a prime consideration, but the content of the role and career path need to be chief motivators. Employers aren't interested in refugees from investment banking; they want candidates who are making a positive move and intend to build a long-term career. Personality is key. Ambition and a hawk-like focus on getting the deal done should be tempered with the ability to get on with the entire human capital structure and the willingness to say 'no' to a deal that isn't right for the company.
Indeed, not all bankers want to make this move. Banking remains a fantastically rewarding career that gives the brightest minds the opportunity to get involved in a veritable banquet of live business situations. Banking will always be appealing to top-class graduates, and quite right too. I also wonder how attractive that widget manufacturer will be once bonuses start being measured in multiples again let's revisit in a year.

At 03:32 CEST on April 6, 2009, a major earthquake rocked the city of L'Aquila and the surrounding villages, in the center of Italy.
297 people were killed in those 20 seconds, more than a thousand were injured and around 70,000 were left homeless.
Many historic buildings collapsed in the centre of the city. This panorama was taken two and a half months after, in front of the Students Dormitory. 8 students died when part of the building collapsed; many others were pulled out from the rubble in the days following the earthquake.
The reconstruction of the city will probably take more than a decade.

Brooklyn, NY – January 17, 2014 – Roger That Garden Project, an iconic half-acre community garden in Crown Heights home to over 100 participants—including dozens of neighborhood children and students from local public schools—and thousands of plants, is in imminent danger of destruction as a result of a recent property sale. TYC Real Estate has purchased NYC Tax Lot 1, Block 1233, which includes the Garden and total elimination of the Garden is scheduled to be complete by next week. To save the years of dedicated work and flourishing plant community, Garden organizers must buy back the land from the purchaser or else succeed in securing additional time and a new location to safely move plants and equipment. Roger That Garden Project is urgently seeking to raise funds to support a purchase and new location to move plants temporarily or permanently. A volunteer day will be held on Sunday, January 19, from 11:00 to 4:00 to rally support for extending the life of the Garden and answer questions from press, elected officials, and community members.Roger That Garden Project, on the corner of Rogers Avenue and Park Place, opened in 2011 with three goals in mind: to cultivate food, nature, and community. The Garden is a critical neighborhood resource that produces healthy food, gives children a place to go after school, clears trash, keeps rodents away, stewards newly planted trees, and helps once-anonymous individuals become engaged community members making positive change. The Garden grew out of an effort led by the Crown Heights Youth Collective to tear down the dilapidated building formerly on the site and create a community garden to encourage neighbors to garden together in an environment affected by poverty, obesity, and food deserts. A vibrant mural to commemorate the removal of the building by the City and the replacement of urban decay with new growth and community effort was completed in 2007, and remains a visible symbol of community togetherness and partnership.Today, Roger That Garden Project is a volunteer-run, communally cared-for native plant and edible garden that has never turned away anyone who wants to interact with nature, be outdoors, and do something positive for their block. The Garden has worked with Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the NYC Department of Sanitation, the NYC Parks Department, Citizen's Committee for NYC, KickStarter.com, the GreenBelt Native Plant Center, Build It Green NYC, the Crown Heights CSA, New York Cares, GrowNYC, former gardeners from the High Line, and the Crown Heights Youth Collective to procure resources and build a sustainable, beautiful neighborhood asset.Roger That Garden project is currently in discussions with the developer about the viability of extending the Garden's life by re-purchasing the land or securing several more months to safely move the plants to a new location during the warm season. To find out more, volunteer time, or suggest a new location, please contact Emily Dinan. To donate to the purchase fund, please visit fundly.com/save-roger-that-community-garden.
Sorry, wasn't trying to be snippy, it just is a strange thought as someone who grew up here in the city. I tend to think of the parks and BBG as the goto spots for greenery.The community gardens are more about "collective" growing and events than the parks.
This is the classic argument between value and cost. It may have only cost $8 in materials to create that afghan blanket, but I will price it at $50 because that is what people will pay for it!One puts in hours of labor in transforming $8 worth of yarn into that afghan blanket. (Actually depending on how big the blanket is, the raw materials probably would cost more! )The $50 asking cost may include some of that labor. There was some labor involved in Mr. Billings's tracking down the heir to the previous owner of the lot.
The new building would hold six apartments divided across 3,990
square feet of residential space, as well as 1,140 square feet of
ground floor commercial retail. That works out to an average apartment
of only 665 square feet—almost certainly rentals, and about as small as
the zoning code allows for new buildings.
There will be one apartment on the first floor, and two each on the
second, third and fourth floors (adding up to seven apartments, not
Hmmm. My mother has dementia and would sign away her inheritance for a ham sandwich if the right person asked her. I wonder how the heirs of the plumber who sold a million dollar lot for $10 are feeling right now. Perhaps someone should ask them.Go get a POA for your mom if there isn't already one! If she's too far gone, petition for guardianship.
God forbid a garden is good for the community. Central Park and Prospect Park seemed to have worked out OK. Just narrowly interpreting the law isn't how folks get elected as judges. Eventually they're supposed to serve the greater good of the community.But within the confines of the law. They can't rewrite law even if they were to it would be shot down on appeal.

Jay Hamilton was a resident of Liberty City and was working as the cameraman for Manny Escuela in 2008.
Jay follows Manny, collecting footage for a film, although Niko Bellic breaks one of his cameras. When the film is finished, Manny complains that Jay made him look gay. Jay says that he looked metrosexual.
Jay later accompanies Manny to Elizabeta Torres' apartment to film and expose her drug related criminal activities. However, Elizabeta kills Manny and Jay in a cocaine-fueled rage, shooting him in the eye. Niko delivers the bodies to a doctor who Elizabeta knows will deal with. He and Manny can also be dumped in the river, but Niko will not earn any money if he chooses to do so.
After Jay and Manny "disappear", the documentary team that was doing the story on Manny quickly replaced it with a story about Troy, the bouncer at the Hercules night club. This is discovered in a conversation between Troy and Luis Lopez, during the events of The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Mission Appearances
- Jay Hamilton's body is still responsive and alive, as he screams when shot in the trunk, and is still looking around and blinking.
- Jay Hamilton shares his name with Neal McDonough's character from the 2004 film Walking Tall. However, this appears to be just a coincidence.

Actors : Brittany Amber, Damien West
Damien West is in for a treat. He's visiting a little, out-of-the-way spa for a massage. Brittany Amber is his accommodating host and pleasure practitioner. Damien tells her he wants the 'Full Body' massage package. This is a very new, very experimental offering for Brittany's small establishment.
She's taking it slow, using plenty of oil to ensure Damien feels relaxed. A bit deeper now, she works her fingers into Damien's well-toned, bare ass. Damien feels waves of relaxation pulse through his body with each squeeze. Brittany flips him over and notices his large, erect cock. She knows he's aching for her to touch it. She rubs around the large, pulsating dick, feeling Damien's body tremble in anticipation. Finally, she glides over the massive boner with both hands. Asking if he's ok with this, she takes the cock and begins stroking. Then she takes it in her mouth and sucks passionately. Damien's hard meat is so large, Brittany has to open her throat to get even halfway down the shaft. When Damien feels he can no longer take this foreplay, he bends her over and slides his throbbing member into Brittany and fucks her without any restraint. See this incredible stud ravage this young masseuse, right on the massage table.

Pletcher spent early Monday morning at Churchill Downs overseeing his Kentucky contingent that includes Kentucky Derby 136 winner Super Saver.
Pletcher said that Super Saver would walk one more day and then return to the track to jog Wednesday morning.
The trainer headed to New York later in the morning but said he probably would be back in Louisville on Thursday or Friday to make a decision on whether to breeze Super Saver before the Preakness or gallop him up to the race.
Super Saver is scheduled to ship to Pimlico on Wednesday, May 12.
Lukas, who has saddled a record 34 Preakness starters and is tied for second in wins with five, informed stakes coordinator Coley Blind this morning that Dublin and three other horses will run at Pimlico next weekend. Dublin ran a respectable seventh behind Super Saver in Saturday's Derby and is the only confirmed starter out of the Run for the Roses planning to test the Derby winner again in the middle jewel of racing's Triple Crown. The son of 2005 Preakness winner Afleet Alex finished a neck behind Super Saver in the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby on Apr. 10 in a three-way photo with winner Line of David.
Other Derby horses still considering the Preakness are Paddy O'Prado (third), Lookin At Lucky (sixth) and Jackson Bend (12th). Make Music for Me (fifth) and Conveyance (15th) have not totally ruled out another chance at Super Saver.
Also at Churchill this morning, Ron Anderson, agent for jockey Garrett Gomez, was showing trainer Bob Baffert a list of probable Preakness starters Monday morning when Baffert had a question.
"Hey, where's the gray horse? The gray horse isn't on there," Baffert said of Conveyance, the Kentucky Derby pacesetter. "He is looking good this morning."
Both Conveyance and Kentucky Derby favorite Lookin At Lucky walked the shedrow Monday morning.
"I am going to stay here four or five days and see how the horses are," Baffert said. "Right now, both of them have a 50-50 chance of going."
Trainer Nick Zito said Sunday that runner-up Ice Box is "doubtful" as did Kenny McPeek, who conditions fifth place finisher Noble's Promise.
More than a half-dozen new shooters are expected to test Super Saver in the Preakness, including stablemate Aikenite, who galloped at Churchill this morning and is scheduled to breeze Sunday, according to Pletcher.
Schoolyard Dreams finished ahead of Super Saver in the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Derby on Mar. 13.The son of Stephen Got Even just missed losing to Odysseus by a nose with Super Saver a half-length back in third. In his last start, trainer Derek Ryan's colt finished fourth in the Grade 1 Wood Memorial behind Eskendereya, Jackson bend and Awesome Act.
"The horse had a minor infection before the Wood," said Ryan, who saddled Musket Man to a third place finish in the 2009 Preakness. "The jock (Ramon Dominguez) told me that the hole closed up on him and he had to check out. That cost us the race and the chance to go to the Derby. It might be a blessing in disguise because he's been doing great since then."
Ryan plans to work Schoolyard Dreams Wednesday or Thursday at Monmouth Park in company with Ponzi Scheme, another 3-year-old in his stable.
Trainers Mike Machowsky (Caracortado) and Graham Motion (Turf Melody) have scheduled weekend works at Santa Anita and Pimlico in final preparation for the Preakness.
Caracortado won the first five races of his career, including the Grade 2 Robert Lewis Stakes, but finished third in the Grade 2 San Felipe and fourth in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby on Apr. 3 and did not have enough graded earnings to land a spot in the Derby.
Turf Melody has finished off the board in three starts this year, all Grade 3 races. Motion finished third in the 2008 Preakness with Icabad Crane. Motion, now based at the Fair Hill Training Center, was stabled at Laurel Park for many years.
Tony Dutrow grew up on the backside at Laurel Park where his father, the legendary Dickie Dutrow, conditioned. The 52-year-old was a top Maryland conditioner in Maryland for years before moving to the Philadelphia-Delaware region because of slots enhanced purses. A Little Warm, who has been first or second in six of seven lifetime starts, would be his first Triple Crown starter.
"We are definitely hoping to run in the Preakness," said Dutrow from his Philadelphia Park headquarters. "He just had a walk day today and will resume training tomorrow, galloping at Delaware Park. A workout is tentatively scheduled for the weekend."
Dutrow's younger brother Rick won the Preakness in 2008 with Big Brown. Dickie Dutrow, who won nine training titles at Pimlico and Laurel in the 1970's before relocating to New York, finished sixth in the 1998 Preakness with Spartan Cat.
Dutrow was impressed with Super Saver's performance.
"I thought he was a very live horse going into the Derby," added Dutrow." I think if he comes into the Preakness in the same way he's going to be a serious horse. He has been very well managed."
The first three finishers in the Derby Trial (Hurricane Ike, Aikenite and Pleasant Prince) are expected in next Saturday's Preakness.
Hurricane Ike is one of three horses Sadler is leaving at Churchill Downs from his nine-horse contingent that came in for Derby Week. The remainder of that group, including Kentucky Derby runners Sidney's Candy (17th) and Line of David (18th), are scheduled to return to California on Tuesday. The son of Graeme Hall is scheduled to work twice leading up to the Preakness, including Tuesday morning at Churchill Downs.
"He is a horse that is on the improve," Sadler said. "He is not far behind the other two. He just had some minor things happen during the Derby trail but he is a pretty nice horse."
Owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey, Pleasant Prince has five in the money finishes in nine career starts, including a second in the Grade 1 Florida Derby where he lost a bob of heads to Ice Box. The son of Indy King will train at Keeneland before shipping to Baltimore on Wednesday, May 12.
"He just doesn't want any part of a mile and the Derby Trial was almost like a workout for him, " trainer Wesley Ward said. "He got up for third just in a gallop. He has been training great at Keeneland ever since."
Ward plans on breezing the colt a sharp five-furlongs Sunday morning.
"I want to make sure of his fitness and make sure he comes out the work with everything in good order," added Ward. "He's just an easy, beautiful horse to train. He does everything right. He's really a good feeling colt when he's out on the track but he's goes back to the barn he just lays down and sleeps all day. He's just a wonderful horse to train. He doesn't have any physical issues, no problems to him."
All three Derby Trial horses will ship to Pimlico next Wednesday, May 12, on a Tex Sutton plane that will also include Super Saver.
The Preakness field may have lost a new shooter in Bushwhacked. Hall of Fame conditioner Jonathan Sheppard reports the son of Posse has a temperature of 103.
"We are going to be very cautious with him, and with a race as important as the Preakness only two weeks away, we will have to see," Sheppard said. "We are looking for improvement, but right now it appears the race is unlikely."
The Preakness field is limited to fourteen starters. If more are properly nominated by Wednesday, May 12 the day of the post position draw, the starters will be determined with the first seven horses given preference by the highest lifetime earnings in graded stakes. The next four starters will be determined by the highest lifetime earnings in all "non-restricted stakes," which means those stakes whose conditions contain no restrictions other than age or sex. The remaining three starters will be determined by the highest lifetime earnings in all races.

Collaborate with shared folders
Shared folders allow project teams to stay in sync.
All folders in Dropbox are private by default, but you can make any normal folder a shared folder. When you share a folder, its contents will only be available to Dropbox users you specifically invite. Once a user accepts your invitation, the shared folder appears in their Dropbox, just like it does in yours.
Key points:
- Shared folders are the best way to collaborate using Dropbox.
- Members of a shared folder can edit and access the same files.
- You can assign some members full edit rights and others view-only access to prevent them from adding, editing, or removing files.
- You can also set access controls to determine if users outside your Dropbox Business team are allowed to join your shared folder.
- You can invite multiple members to a shared folder all at once using groups.

All students at King's College, regardless of their individual majors, participate in the Core Curriculum. It is, as its name implies, central to all undergraduate degrees at King's College. It lays the foundation for a liberal education that will be reinforced in the major program and continued throughout life. Core courses comprise a common educational experience that seeks to develop a community of learners; enhance learning through the sharing of viewpoints and ideas; and encourage a spirit of collegiality in the pursuit, discovery, and transmission of that knowledge and truth essential to intellectual growth, moral maturity, and personal fulfillment.
Core courses are broadly based so that fundamental aspects of human experience are approached from diverse viewpoints represented by a variety of disciplines. This breadth offers students the opportunity to engage with differing methodologies in order to see continuity and connections between academic disciplines and bodies of knowledge.
King's College reinforces the coherence and integrity of knowledge in the structure of the Core Curriculum. The Core divides required courses into 3 parts and 14 categories. Each category has clear and specific liberal learning goals and objectives for all courses within it. These goals and objectives include numerous connections between categories.
The goals of the Core Curriculum at King's are as follows:
- Competence in writing, speaking, critical reading and thinking, problem solving using mathematics, and making effective use of library and information resources
- A critical understanding of history, civilization, art, and literature
- A critical understanding of the American experience
- A sophisticated awareness of global issues and a knowledge of foreign cultures
- An understanding of human behavior and social institutions through the application of the social scientific method
- A facility with the scientific method and knowledge of how it is applied to understand the natural world
- Mature, critical, informed beliefs and a facility with ethical reasoning
All of these goals are developed through a series of Core courses in several categories. Each category defines specific, measurable, objectives, students can expect to attain within each course in the category.

Coral Springs Christian coach grows his family, adopts two players
Coral Springs Christian boys' basketball coach Steve Fitzgerald and his wife Teri were already stretched to the financial limit with six children when fate paid another visit to their front door.
Unsettled by the news that Fitzgerald's two Nigerian-born players Alaowei Talent and Abule Abadi were being uprooted from one host family to another, the Fitzgeralds cobbled together enough money to file adoption papers and make the 6-7 Alaowei and 6-6 Abule their newest sons.
The Fitzgeralds, rooted deep in faith, said bringing Alaowei, 16, and Abule, 15, into the fold with Dublin, Aiden, Mackenzie, Jackson, Liam and Austin — a 6-7 forward for the Crusaders — was a calling they could not ignore.
"We both just felt like it was the right thing to do," Teri Fitzgerald said. "Steve just had it on his heart to adopt Alaowei and Abule and I always wanted more children. When Steve suggested it, I just knew it was what God wanted us to do. When we sat our children down to talk about it. They were beyond excited."
The journey Alaowei and Abadi, who fare from the same Nigerian town of Otuan, took them to Coral Springs Christian and ultimately to the same family as adopted brothers.
Abadi, the son of a politician, came from a priveleged upbringing and private school background.
Alaowei, on the other hand, said his birth family is poverty stricken. Alaowei recalled the times he didn't have money for sneakers and played basketball in bare feet.
Perhaps Alaowei's first step to escape a similar hardship came when as a 12 year old, he made a two-hour trek by foot to a basketball camp hosted by former Cleveland Cavaliers forward Ejike Ugboaja.
"I don't know how life would be if I didn't make that trip,'' Alaowei said. "That day I heard that they were having a camp. We had to pay for transportation and I didn't have money so I decided to walk. Back home you don't get anything. Basically you have to fend for yourself."
Alaowei and Abule became acquaintances at the camp not knowing their paths would cross again at Coral Springs Christian.
While Abule was considered a raw post prospect at the time, Alaowei caught the eye of camp counselors with his more advanced ball-handling and shooting skills.
After Alaowei moved to Georgia and returned to Nigeria after his visa was revoked, he and Abule ultimately reunited at Coral Springs Christian three years ago.
Alaowei, a rising junior wing, and Abule, a freshman, are expected to play key roles in the Crusaders' return bid to the FHSAA Class 3A State Final Four.
Alaowei, who has made a name as a defensive stopper, will need to shoulder more of the scoring load after being a complementary offensive player last season. Abule, meanwhile, has the bulk and athleticism to fill the void left by Nura Zanna, another Nigerian born player, who led the Crusaders to the 3A state championship game last season.
Of course, feeding and outfitting four children 6-5 or taller and Steve Fitzgerald, who stands 6-7, presents challenges. Even on a tight budget Teri Fitzgerald said the weekly grocery bill averages $400.
Through it all, Steve Fitzgerald said the values and life experiences Alaowei and Abule have brought to their new family has made it all worthwhile.
"It is hard for me to remember a time now when Alaowei and Abule weren't with us," Fitzgerald said. "I really feel like they have brought just as much or more to our family. Helping our kids appreciate what they have. You think with that many kids there would be constant conflict but there isn't. Alaowei and Abule have taught how to have respect and space for each other. I can't imagine life without them."

We hosted a 4-course meal last week so I wanted to share one of the dishes I prepared. We often entertain at home and as I get busy in the kitchen, I never have time to take a pretty snapshot between the time of the preparation until the plate is ready to serve our guest. I didn't have time to take a photograph of the starter but since I love seafood, I didn't mind repeating a similar dish for today's recipe. I used pan-seared coquille Saint-Jacques (scallops) and dressed them in a healthy manner as a great way to begin the meal.
The idea behind the presentation was to find a good balance of color and texture. I made a carpaccio of dill-coated smoked salmon and radish, then also accompanied the scallops with avocado, blood oranges (yay! they're in season), Persian cucumbers, fried wasabi-flavored green peas and a sprinkle of candied walnuts.
I modified the dish I initially served last week by adding Sriracha Guacamole.
Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I've been brainstorming ideas of how to celebrate it. Little Aria is a chocolate lover and I've been showing her many ways of eating chocolate. I put up some recipe suggestions in case you're planning to cook and bake as well. Naturally you'll want to pick the dishes that your sweetie likes; Aria's favorite is a simple square of quality chocolate and chocolate mousse. Joyeuse Saint-Valentin!
In my opinion, your Valentine's essentials consist of anything with chocolate. Here's a selection of my favorite cupcakes, cookies and other romantic desserts for your sweetie.
A DIY gift will not only please your Valentine but I think it will come from the heart and show your appreciation for him/her. Plus, you can enjoy the results of your labor as well, feeding each other! Hope this helps you prepare the most magical, memorable Valentine's Day!
This type of preparation is my favorite way to go when I buy an amazing quality cut of beef, such as filet mignon. I simply seasoned both sides of the filet mignon with salt and pepper, pan-seared until a crust formed and completed the roasting in the oven.
The key to perfection was to let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing. The last step was making a sauce au poivre (whole peppercorn sauce) and placing the slices of beef on top like a fan. This was heavenly scrumptious. You can pair the meat with your favorite potato side dish, which can be found in my first cookbook, Haute Potato available from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
The main reason I baked these muffins is that I had leftover crushed pineapple from our recent Vietnamese beef fondue party. The more romantic reason I tell my husband Lulu is that I'm always thinking about him and I want to please him all the time. Given his sweet tooth, Lulu always enjoys a hot cup of fruity white tea and a few sweet treats, so I think he'll fall for it .
The muffins are flavored with pineapple, coconut and lemon chocolate chips.

Elton John In Talks To Record New Song With Beyonce For 'Lion King' Remake
Beyoncé will voice the character of Nala in the upcoming remake of The Lion King and also appear on the closing credit track of the film if Sir Elton John has it his way, according to his new interview with The Sun via NME.
John, who is reuniting with his former Lion King soundtrack collaborator, Tim Rice, will return to the studio to record a new track to close out the film. "They need to have a new end credits song," he told the publication. "There's going to be four of our songs in the film, from the original: "Can You Feel The Love Tonight," "Hakuna Matata," "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" and "Circle of Life."
"And then there will be an end, closing song, and we've been speaking to Beyoncé's people and hopefully Tim and I and her can cook up something," he continued. "That's going out in 2019 as well. And it will be great to work with her. So we will see."
Disney's live-action remake of the beloved '90s animation is set to be released in 2019 and features a string of stars. While Donald Glover is set to voice Simba, James Earl Jones will reprise his role as Mufasa. Seth Rogan, Alfre Woodard and John Oliver will also be part of the star-studded cast. In the meantime, take a walk down memory lane and spin Sir Elton John's original 1994 hit, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," for some good ol' memories.
