2016 Lambrusco, I Calanchi, Monte delle Vigne, Colli di Parma, Emilia Romagna, Italy £16.95, reduced to £14.95 each for a case of six, Lea & Sandeman, 020-7244 0522, LeaAndSandeman.co.uk
If I said that we should all drink more Lambrusco you might think I was endeavouring to commit career suicide. As far as trends are concerned, the re-emergence of serious Lambrusco on our shelves is barely noteworthy. The problem is that I have tasted four or five good ones of late and so this cannot be simply a fluke. "Anomalies happen" is one of my favourite sayings, and so I am going to take the plunge and alert you to this insanely good Lambrusco and its jolly little brother.
Perfect with steak
First the less expensive, less technically involving and easier to swallow wine. NV Lambrusco Classico (£12.75, Lea & Sandeman) is black-cherry and liquorice-soaked, frothy and bone dry. I cannot think of anything more delicious than a cold glass of this wine with a barbecued steak on a sweltering day.
When others turn to beer, I turn to elite Lambrusco. Monte delle Vigne is located south-west of Parma at 300m altitude and the vines are organically farmed. The fruit is squeaky clean and as bright as can be.
As for my featured wine, I Calanchi, it's even more strict and searing and the snap of acidity on the finish immeasurably brightens the wine – and also manages to cut through every chargrilled, marinated, spicy and saucy flavour you can throw at it.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - Legg Mason analysts cut their rating on Mohawk Industries Inc. MHK, -0.91% to "hold" from "buy," saying margins at the flooring company will be pressured until oil prices begin to decline. "While on the one hand we hate to make a ratings change on raw material price changes, we feel we have little choice given the continuing cost escalations," Legg Mason analysts wrote. Longer-term investors should ignore the ratings change and hold the shares, the analysts said, adding the downgrade was based solely on raw materials pricing. Shares fell 36 cents Tuesday to $87.45.

On Friday 16th June Labour MP for Washington and Sunderland West, Sharon Hodgson met with our Yr 12 and a few of Yr 7 Project time students. Sharon offered to come into school to talk about her role in politics and to answer questions from the students.It was interesting to hear how and why she became an MP and to hear about the changes she has witnessed during her time in office. Sharon also met some students and spoke to them individually about their personal aspirations and plans after they leave Lord Lawson.
As part of our British Values programme our students find out about Democracy and our parliamentary system. Sharon was keen to encourage students to get involved in politics and was impressed that the the Yr 7 students had been involved in hosting our own school election on 8th June.

Some negotiations of the market can reserve twists and unexpected sudden changes. If Carlitos Tevez last week looked in the direction of Milan, now is back halfway because what could have seem something of a strong action on market of Adriano Galliani would instead be a simple and resounding bluff to force Juventus to lower the price of the real objective: Alessandro Matri.
THE SITUATION: Milan currently has in rose Balotelli, El Shaarawy, Niang, Robinho, Pazzini. On paper the owners would be the first two with Niang young and emerging and Pazzini, currently in the pits. Considering the imminent departure of Robinho and with attention to budget the operation Tevez for the Rossoneri becomes risky, while the acquisition of another kind of bomber and with minor costs would be most suitable.
MATRI-MONIO? (Marriage)? The name congenial is Alessandro Matri, in Allegri desires perfect vice Pazzini but also vice El Shaarawy or possible Balotelli companion. A player who is liked by Allegri, always has been, a player that of wage would cost less than half of Tevez.
DEVIL'S BLUFF: here then enters the idea of bluffing, helped by his friendship with the Tevez's agent. In theory, the mutual benefit would be at the expense of Juventus. In practice Tevez with the fictitious interest of AC Milan would try to get a better contract, Juventus should accelerate on the Argentine, spend more resources and in a sense it would be forced to yield to Milan, Matri, perhaps on the Rossoneri conditions.
AND JUVE? Juventus does not participate in auctions. At the risk of losing the game will continue with their strategy. The best solution: move quickly minimizing the talk and be careful because a possible transfer to AC Milan of Matri perhaps could do more damage than passing of Apache to the Rossoneri.

Bartenders around the city are taking the autumnal holiday as an excuse to invent new beverages that channel its macabre spirit. This month, trade in your red Solo cup of Pabst at a house party for a glass of one of the specialty drinks below: Midnights' Basic Witch Photo Credit: Midnights This pun-tastic frozen cocktail on Midnights' fall menu puts a boozy spin on the ever-popular pumpkin spice latte. It's made with vodka, coconut milk, fresh pumpkin, ginger and other spices, and espresso. According to the Williamsburg bar and restaurant's menu, a portion of the proceeds from the spirit used in this drink, Simple Vodka, goes toward national hunger relief programs. ($15 for a cup, $25 for a two-person serving, 149 N. 6th St., Brooklyn, 718-384-6961, midnightsbk.com) Tuck Room's Creepy Olde Fashioned Photo Credit: Tuck Room This drink is made with a fig and black walnut-infused rye, maple syrup, ice and bitters made from toasted crickets. The speakeasy is serving it at its Halloween party on Tuesday, Oct. 31. ($65 for an event ticket, 11 Fulton St., South Street Seaport, 212-776-8273, thetuckroom.com) The Crown's Frankenstein Photo Credit: The Crown This monstrous cocktail is prepared with white rum, Thai basil, pineapple and Pernod (an anise-flavored liquor). Its foamy top is garnished with orange stitches. Hotel 50 Bowery's rooftop bar will be serving it in a Champagne glass from Oct. 26 through Oct. 31. ($16, 50 Bowery, Chinatown, 212-508-8000, thecrownnyc.com) Hard Rock Cafe's Evil Eye Cocktail Photo Credit: Hard Rock Cafe Who doesn't love an eyeball in their Mason jar drink? (Especially when it's made from a lychee and a blueberry!) This one is a blend of muddled fall fruits and white and spice rums, topped with pineapple and Angostura bitters. It's on the menu at the rock and roll-themed restaurant from Oct. 26 through Nov. 1. (1501 Broadway, Times Square, 212-343-3355, hardrock.com) Graffiti Earth's Blood Roots Tequila Photo Credit: Graffiti Earth This blood-red cocktail at chef Jehangir Mehta's vegetable-focused restaurant is, not surprisingly, garnished with pickled carrots, turnips and Thai chili -- all skewered on a knife. The drink combines tequila, lime juice, jalapeño slices, pomegranate juice and Sprite. Go ahead and pretend you're Bunnicula while sipping from your champagne flute. ($14, 190 Church St., TriBeCa, 212-542-9440, graffitiearthny.com) Industry Kitchen's Crazy Clown Photo Credit: Industry Kitchen Pegged to the release of "It," the horror film based on the Stephen King novel, this cocktail is equal parts rum and peach schnapps. The mixologists at Industry Kitchen are adding orange juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, bitters and grenadine (a reddish pomegranate syrup) to give their clownish concoction bite and color. ($14, 70 South St., at Maiden Lane, South Street Seaport, 212-487-9600, industry-kitchen.com) Bistro Chat Noir's Haunted Townhouse Photo Credit: Hernan Valle The landmark townhouse-turned-French-bistro is serving a signature sip made with Kahlua, vodka and the "ghost of a vanilla bean."

($18, 22 E. 66th St., Upper East Side, 212-794-2428, bistrochatnoir.com) Slowly Shirley's Perla Negra Photo Credit: Nick Vorderman This jet-black drink for two is made with activated charcoal, a fine black powder made from bone char, coconut shells, peat, petroleum coke, coal, olive pits or sawdust processed at very high temperatures. Used as a poison antidote since the early 1800s, the ingredient is combined at Slowly Shirley with Santa Teresa 1796 rum, kalamansi juice, orange juice, honey, ginger and arrack (a South Asian spirit) and topped off with sorrel. The subterranean cocktail lounge serves it in a skull bowl. ($39, 121 W. 10th St., West Village, 212-243-2827, slowlyshirley.com) The Club Car's Inferno Photo Credit: Conor Harrigan Like the Perla Negra, this somber cocktail gets its color from activated charcoal. Bartenders at The Club Car, a supper club at the McKittrick Hotel, stir the powder into bourbon before adding other spirits, like cacao liqueur, sweet vermouth and orange bitters. They top the beverage off with edible glitter, so your tongue can sparkle the whole night through. ($17, 530 W. 27th St., Chelsea, 212-564-1662, mckittrickhotel.com) Eli's Night Shift's The Murderino Photo Credit: Eli's Night Shift This near-black cocktail made with activated charcoal takes its name from the popular true crime podcast "My Favorite Murder." Its creator, barman Nathan Gurr, mixes the charcoal with whiskey, Campari, vermouth and Bonal, an herby aperitif. He tops it with a frothy egg whites, then swirls a maraschino cherry around the glass to make it look as if it were bleeding, skewers the fruit with a toothpick and balances it on top. The drink is on Eli's regular evening menu. ($14, 189 E. 79th St., Upper East Side, 212-879-7160, elizabar.com/nightshift) Gallow Green's Witches' Brew Photo Credit: Conor Harrigan This poisonous-looking concoction at McKittrick Hotel's rooftop bar and restaurant gets its greenish hue from green tea matcha syrup and Midori, a melon liqueur. Japanese whisky is the foundation for a cocktail that gets some bite from yuzu juice and Thai bitters. Witches' Brew is garnished with a couple of Maraschino cherries. ($17, 542 W. 27th St., Chelsea, 212-564-1662, mckittrickhotel.com) Mr Chow's Fare Thee Well Photo Credit: Mr Chow Floating blood cherries and a dehydrated orange wheel amp the spook factor of this otherwise tame bourbon and lemon cocktail at the upscale Chinese restaurant chain specializing in Beijing cuisine. The drink is finished off with a touch of apricot brandy. (324 E. 57th St., Upper East Side and 121 Hudson St., TriBeCa, mrchow.com) aRoqa's Through My Sails Photo Credit: Evan Sung Served in a black cauldron befitting a potion, this cocktail blends rum, pineapple-lemongrass puree, sherry and almonds. It arrives at your table, along with your contemporary Indian meal, topped with a lime soaked in highly ignitable overproof rum (a run with an alcohol content of greater than 57 percent) and lit aflame. ($14, 206 Ninth Ave., Chelsea, 646-678-5471, aroqanyc.com) Mr. Jones' The Other Side Photo Credit: Mr. Jones Cross over to the afterlife when you order this vodka-and-beer cocktail with a color gradient. You'll get some kick from the cinnamon lime syrup and the Worcestershire sauce when you sip your drink at a bar that celebrates the jet-setting lifestyle of wealthy Americans in the '60s. The Other Side is available starting Oct. 16. ($18 every night except Oct. 26, the night of a "Hudson Scare" bar crawl, when it's $6; 246 Spring St., Hudson Square, 212-842-4566, mrjonesnyc.com) Union Bar and Kitchen's Skeleton Lake Photo Credit: Union Bar and Kitchen This is one eye-opening drink. Garnished with a fake eyeball (we have yet to determine what it's made of and whether it's edible), Skeleton Lake is prepared with chamomile-infused bourbon, oleo saccharum (a syrup packed with citrus essential oils) grapefruit and fall spice. Like The Other Side, this cocktail is available starting Oct. 16. (300 Spring St., Hudson Square, 646-791-0005, unionbarandkitchen.com) Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC's Dragon's Blood Photo Credit: Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC Beets are the starring ingredient in this maroon-colored, rye-based drink, served at the hotel's Plunge Rooftop Bar + Lounge.

With your cocktail comes a piece of holiday-themed jewelry: a spider ring that strikes us as something Morticia Addams would flaunt on her finger.

February 16, 2014 – 6th Sunday of Ordinary Time (Cycle A)
In today's Gospel we hear Jesus tell us: 'Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.'; His comment to the group listening points out how important worship is to them. The discussion is a powerful reminder to them about the importance of being prepared for worship, the necessity of proper disposition and attitude when presenting oneself to God in a Temple service – for us that would be Mass. Worship, is about interior preparation that leads to a proper disposition and actual participation.
The Vatican II fathers used the Latin phrase 'participatio actuosa'; some translate it 'active participation' others translate it 'actual participation' – both highlight important aspects of the phrase. In my view, because the English language reverses the words it removes the importance of the phrase; or rather changes the paradigm. When we define first: 'participation' we can then properly flow to the second word 'active' with a correct perspective, disposition.
Participation, in the sense of the Mass, refers to a primary action that we are part of. What is it that we are participating in? And of course it is the Eucharistic Prayer, the 'Opus Dei' (Work of God) of Christ; Jesus prayer to the Father in words and action; His Pasch, His passion death and resurrection in obedience to the Father and for our salvation.
Now, it is obvious that the true Eucharistic Sacrifice is Christ's gift of Himself to the Father; so what is our part? How do we participate? It is our prayer. To actually participate in the Mass, we need to be actively praying along with Christ. Our preparation for Mass as well as our disposition in the Mass is one of prayer; we are attaching our prayers of thanksgiving, of petition, of forgiveness, of mercy, of penance, of everything to those of Christ as He offers His whole being to the Father.
I think it bears repeating; our actual participation in the Mass, that makes us active within Christ's sacrifice to the Father, is our prayer. Now, of course there are some who are called to 'do things' in the Mass and that is laudable, or as the Church likes to phrase it 'praise worthy'; but when it comes down to it, the most important thing we do is pray. And as with any important activity we need to train ourselves; as I said earlier place ourselves in the proper disposition, so that our hearts and minds are in tune with the prayer of Christ.
Holy Mother Church recognizes this and knows that the Mass needs to facilitate our being able to place ourselves in the right frame of mind. The actions in the Mass not only reveal to us the powerful aspects of the liturgy but always help us center in on the active participation of our prayer. By coming to understand why the church has structured the Liturgy the way she does is not only a study in the history of revelation but it is a means to deepen our relation with the Holy Trinity. If someone thinks that our liturgical actions are more or less just choreography then their participation will be more of passive spectatorship. If, on the other hand, someone strives to understand why we do what do at Mass then their participation will become deeper, fuller, more active in what is actually happening; and by means of this deeper participation our personal relationship with God deepens.
I would like to point out three aspects of the Mass as examples:
1 The Altar
The Mass revolves around two centers, the Ambo where we hear proclaimed God's Word, and the Altar. You have all noticed that the clergy come up to the Altar and kiss it. Why? Because the Altar represents Jesus Christ Himself; above any other symbolism that can be given to the Altar this is preeminent. We don't reverence a table, we reference a person. It is always interesting to me to listen to people talk about the altar. One of the most telling differences in comments is when someone describes adding an altar cloth as decorating the Altar, while others describe that action as dressing the Altar. We decorate a thing, we dress a person. We should look at the Altar as the clergy do when they kiss it – they kiss Christ, they reverence our Lord who is about to perform the great Opus Dei (work of God), for us, and with us to the Father.
2 The Collect
In the Liturgy, after the greeting and the penitential rite we participate in the Collect. Most probably know it by the misleading title of 'Opening Prayer'. It is called the Collect because of what is said just prior to it. We hear Father announce 'Let us pray'. This is not an alert for the Altar Server to bring the big red book to him; it is a call for everyone to quietly gather their thoughts and prayers together to offer them along with our Lord's offering. There should be time between the call to prayer and the Collect. The Collect does what the name says – it collects the congregation's prayers and through the priest, by means of this prayer, they are offered upward to God the Father. For me, the term Opening Prayer almost sounds like Opening Act and it makes me feel like we are passive viewers whereas the term Collect calls us to active participation.
3 The Bow-less Creed
I must be honest with you, sometimes I cheat during the Creed. I look up to see how many people bow at the words 'by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man' Holy Mother Church thinks that this little action is very important, it is right there in the Missalette. The Incarnation is that important; we who are undeserving of this gift, should bow at the thought of God coming to us. But, in my peeking at you I notice that about as many don't bow as do. The idea of the bow should be spontaneous for those who have come to participate in Christ's sacrifice – we recognize our unworthiness for this gift and we humble ourselves for it.
So, three examples of aspects of the Mass that, depending on our understanding, affect our disposition and thus affect our participation; three examples out of the many aspects of the Mass that depending on our understanding can deepen our relationship with God. My prayer for all of us is that we renew our effort to come to a better understanding of the Mass so that we can then participate worthily in Christ's action to the Father for us.

And You Think Your City Is A Mess.../
There's always San Diego to show you what bureacratic absurdity is really like. Tod Leonard writes in the San Diego Union Tribune:
For the second time in 15 days, City Councilwoman Donna Frye has put the brakes on talks regarding changes to the Torrey Pines golf courses.
After learning that the city's golf operations department was planning to go to the City Council on Monday and ask for approval to soon begin moving the North Course's 18th green to make room for a new clubhouse that has yet to be approved, Frye took action. She contacted Deputy City Manager Ellen Oppenheim, who agreed to attach a memo to the item with the understanding that no work would be done on the North until a clubhouse project is approved.

Searching for a Functional Cure for HIV
by Lindsay Hock
August 3, 2015
In 2014, more than 1.2 million people in the U.S. were noted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as living with HIV infection. Almost one in eight, or 12.8%, are unaware of their infection. The CDC estimates that 1,218,400 person aged 13 and older are living with HIV infection, including 156,300 who are unaware of their infection. Over the past decade, the number of people living with HIV has increased, while the annual number for new HIV infections has remained stable.
For those HIV-infected patients that are aware of their illness, antiretroviral therapy (ART) is available to suppress the virus. These patients will remain on ART for life, because the virus survives over the long-term in infected dormant cells. Interruption of current ART results in a rebound of the virus and clinical progression to AIDS.
So far, approximately 26 drugs are available as ART. These drugs include compounds that block the entry of the virus, reverse transcription, integration and maturation of the virus. There are still many unknowns in HIV research, but what researchers do know is that used in combination, ART cocktails can reduce the viral plasma load of an infected individual to below the level of detection. "The current drugs have transformed HIV disease more into a chronic disease rather than a death sentence," says Susana Valente, associate professor at the Scripps Research Institute in an exclusive interview with R&D Magazine. "They have truly been amazing to reducing the replication of the virus."
The difficulty behind HIV vaccines and drugs
While there are many ART options approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), drugs to cure HIV and vaccines have failed in previous trials, such as the Thai trial. The reason for this: the HIV virus mutates and evolves at a fast pace.
The difficulty of developing a vaccine for HIV is based on the envelope of the virus. The envelope of the virus changes fast and is covered in carbohydrates and it hides itself from broadly neutralizing antibodies. "Essentially, the virus evolves in a way to keep away from neutralization," says Valente. "And, although there are some broadly neutralizing antibodies that do block the virus, therapies taking advantage of these are still in the works."
In terms of drug development, much work focuses on the suppression of the virus. Although current drugs suppress the virus, the virus is still integrated into the host genome. "Once it's there, it's hard to eliminate the virus," says Valente. "Besides, another feature of this virus is that it goes into a state of dormancy or latency." If the virus isn't showing signs of itself, it's hard to find strategies to eliminate it.
A new hope
HIV latency is a global issue, but now there's new hope to reduce the HIV reactivation rate due to latency. Scientists from the Florida campus of the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have shown that, unlike other ART therapies, a natural compound called Cortistatin A reduces residual levels of virus from infected dormant cells, establishing a near-permanent state of latency and greatly diminishing the virus' capacity for reactivation.
"Cortistatin A is a natural product isolated from a marine sponge found in Southeast Asia," says Valente. Initially there was interest in this molecule because it has anti-angiogenic properties, and this triggered the development by several synthetic chemists of the product via a synthetic route because there wasn't a lot of it available in nature. "So, we are working with an analog of the natural product which is called didehydro-Cortistatin A (dCA), which is similar in structure and has the same activity," says Valente.
dCA inhibits Tat, an important protein in the lifecycle of the HIV virus that is responsible for viral amplification and replication. "If you don't have Tat, the virus is much weaker and it can't sustain a productive infection for long," says Valente.
In TSRI's research, dCA has shown to inhibit replication in HIV-infected cells by significantly reducing levels of viral messenger RNA—the blueprints for producing proteins and more infection. In fact, in latently infected primary T cells isolated from HIV subjects treated with ART drugs, dCA reduced viral reactivation by 92.3%. These results suggest an alternative to the "shock and kill" strategy, a widely studied strategy for eradication of latent HIV, which tries to purge viral reservoirs by shocking them out of their latency with reversing agents, while stopping new rounds of infection with ART. The expectation is that infected cells will die from excessive viral replication or be killed by the immune system effects, explains Valente.
"Our approach is the exact opposite of the 'shock and kill' strategy," says Valente. "We are suppressing the cell that's infected to such low levels that there's no viral production and no events of re-expression. And, basically with time, we are expecting there will be turnover of these infected cells; and with time, without replenishing the system, we will reduce the size of the reservoir." Essentially, it's putting the virus to sleep instead of reactivation.
There are currently no other drugs in the pipeline or on the market that target the Tat protein.
Clinical studies
TSRI researchers are currently doing tests in humanized mice. They will be starting testing in non-human primates next year.
"We are in the process of using the available animal models to test this idea of suppressing the reservoir with our Tat inhibitor to assess long-term results of reducing the reactivation of the virus," says Valente.
The team still must research the molecular mechanisms behind the non-reactivation of the virus in the presence of dCA. And they must also understand how the drug can be used in patients. Should it be added to ART treatment or used alone after the virus has been dramatically suppressed? The results so far seem promising. The researchers hypothesize that if taken in conjunction with ART drugs, patients may be able to take a break from the costly medication with multiple side effects for a period of time without immediate viral rebound.
"Another interesting tidbit is Tat is also responsible for neurotoxic activities in the brain," says Valente. About 50% of HIV-infected individuals will experience some neuro-impairment. Most of these cases are mild, yet effects can range up to dementia.
"We have initiated studies on the activity of this compound in reducing neurotoxicity, and the results seem promising" says Valente. So, the drug compound has several benefits for HIV-infected individuals.
This is just one more step to eradicating the virus, should the compound pass all clinical studies and regulations set by the FDA.

About►Code Name: Wolverine
► Real name: Logan Howlett
► Age: Unknown
► Birthday: Unknown
► Under the clothing: 100% man
► Sexuality: Straight as a pool stick
► Affiliation: X-Men
► Mutant Abilities: Wolverine has regenerative powers that work with virtually any wound, no matter to what degree of severity it is. From the minorest cut, to the most fatal looking of wounds, his body heals itself. The length of time can vary depending on how bad it is, and sometimes, the most severe wounds temporarily disables him. In these times, it is as if he dies for a few seconds to a few minutes before the wound can heal completely. This ability grants him immunity to most toxins, and a higher tolerance for pain than most other people or even mutants. He has keen senses such as smell that allows him to hunt and sniff out virtually anyone he wishes to seek, as well as keen eyesight and hearing.
Aside from his regenerative abilities, his mutation is in his hands. The skeletal stucture of his hands sprouts claws from between his fingers that he has had since birth, which was altered when he later on accepted Stryker's offer to join the Weapon X program. His whole skeletal structure fused with adamantium, the most strongest metal known to man, which made him nearly invincible. The claws that sprout from his hands are encased with this metal, making him a powerful weapon.
►Bio of Old man Logan:
The End.
It all started one terrible night. Simply put, the bad guys finally won. All by turning one of the greatest heroes into the most brutal of murderers again.
Through machinations of Mysterio, Logan attacked his friends in both the X-Men and the Avengers, murdering them one by one, believing them all to be some of the world's most deadly villains.
With the deaths of his closest allies, the great Mysterio unveiled his and the other villains plan: have the most effective killing machine in the Marvel Universe stain his hands with the blood of those he loved most, breaking him as a hero. As a warrior. As a man.
With that revelation, Logan decided to attempt the impossible: kill himself. While not dying, his legend and reputation did. The former hero was a shadow of himself, a coward. Alive with the knowledge of his actions, he became a humble man in the new America, ruled by the most fearsome villains. Logan became a pacifist, living with his wife, Maureen. His two kids, Jade and Scotty in Sacramento, California. That part of land was over-run by Bruce Banner's decedents. Logan was forced to pay them monthly. Until one day, when he didn't have enough money to pay, he was beaten by the eldest son of Bruce and Jen Banner. However, after a slow recovery, Logan was visited later that day by Hawk-eye, who was blind. He and Clint Barton set out on a quest, Logan had him navigate across the country and deliver a secret package, possibly illegal. Further into their quest, they came across Red Skull, dressed up as Captain America. He and Logan dueled, shortly prior to his defeat, Red Skull claims that Logan didn't have the guts to kill. Logan replied to this by depcaptitating Red Skull using the Cap's shield. After, taking Iron man's suit back to his farm, he recieved horrible news that his family was murdered by the Hulk Gang. His neighbor, Donovan believesd that Logan should bury his family's bodies, as he saw it as the right thing to do. Logan, however, responded by saying...
"The name isn't Logan, bub...it's Wolverine."
...and then popped his claws for the first time in fifty years.
Logan managed to kill off all of the hulk gang, including Banner. But, I'm sure you guys wouldn't want to know how he did.
►P E R S O N A L I T Y . .xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A lot of people tend to believe I am pure muscle and no brain. That is furthest from the truth. Sure, I have a mean temper and I don't talk much, but I am a quick study. I learn and understand things easily. I read every day; don't tell anybody or I'll rip your wind pipe out. I prefer to be alone, and like to do things for myself. It is better that way. And I don't like to follow authority; I'm my own man. But if I am needed, I'll be right there. I'll lend a listening ear, or help out wherever I can. Don't think just because I seem or look like an a** that I am one. At least not all the time, anyway. And I know I'm a smartass, but only I can say that about myself. Just one thing: don't call me short-tempered.
Things I like:
☑Smokes, namely cigars
☑Reading. Again, don't tell anybody.
☑The forests of Canada
☑For some reason, the moon
Things I don't like:
☒Victor Creed
☒Adamantium alloy fused to my bones, though it's gotten me out of trouble.
☒Being played
For those who don't know who the hell I am, look it up, bub.

Almost 3 years ago to the day, I met Mason's big brother for his newborn session. Since then I have kept up with this family for milestone sessions, and was thrilled to hear that baby #2 was on the way! On a rainy day earlier this month, I went to their Chicago home for their in home newborn session. Little Mason was such good little model for his newborn session, and didn't make a peep! Just snoozed away.
Welcome little one, I know that you have many adventures ahead of you with your big brother!!

Five ways to change the world
29 Nov
Unintentionally, my most recent articles for the Nonprofit Quarterly Newswire share a common theme: what it takes to change the world. Here's a preview:
- Challenge motivation
- Challenge assumptions
- Challenge organization
- Challenge authority
- Challenge ourselves
Links to the articles are below:
- Want to live long and prosper? Donate more! There's a growing body of research indicating that generosity makes people happier, more popular and more likely to live longer. Would it be tacky to appeal directly to this quite selfish reason for giving?
- New Research Shows Digital Divide Still Persists in the U.S. Though social media and internet communications have become ubiquitous tools for much of the nonprofit sector, it's important to remember that significant population groups in the United States still don't have access to high speed (broadband) internet at home.
- Can Nonprofit Status Strengthen Community Voice of Public Access Television Station? In suburban Portland, Oregon, the already blurred boundaries between nonprofits and public entities are showing up in a new way, as leaders of a publicly owned community television station seek to reorganize as a nonprofit in order to survive.
- Leadership Roles in a Leaderless Movement: Insights from Rural and Urban "Occupy" Experiences: While organizers stress common goals, rural and urban Occupy demonstrations reflect differences between small and large communities. These different community environments also influence leadership dynamics even for a self-described leaderless movement.
- These young people know how to change the world: To paraphrase a hit song from the 1970's, we better "believe the children are our future". The courage of these International Children's Peace Prize finalists should inspire anyone of any age who's trying to make positive change around big social issues.

We Rent Tsukumogami – Ep. 2
Oddly enough, I enjoyed We Rent Tsukumogami a lot more the second time around. The dialogue still drones but I found this episode's case to be pretty enjoyable. You have an antique owner who finds all his historical paintings messed up every morning and Okou and Senji task their tskumogami to investigate. They solve the case pretty quickly — just some male tskumogami competing for the intention of a female one — but resolving the conflict was still very interesting. It cleverly incorporates some thinking outside the box from Okou and Senji as well as the backstory of one of our lead tsukumogami, Tsukuyomi (geez, those names are similar). There's also a surprisingly good sense of continuity as the story follows up on the premiere's case. All things considered, I'm actually inclined to stick with the show for a bit longer.
Something that'll make We Rent Tsukumogami an acquired taste for many Western viewers is how "Japanese" its story is. It's heavily rooted in its Edo period as well as Japanese history and folklore. I personally like seeing anime with those kind of affectations but it could create a slight barrier of entry for people who want to enjoy anime right off the bat.
Phantom in the Twilight – Ep. 4
I wouldn't call Phantom in the Twilight an amazing show but it's shaped up to be a decent one and by Chinese co-production standards, that's currently a blessing.
Simply put, I like the characters. They're hardly the best Fumiaki Maruto has written for (no one's at Megumi Kato God tier if you ask me) but I've enjoyed the chemistry they've developed. This episode particularly focuses on Toryu who has become a sort of butler for Ton as he finds her 21st century fashion sense and mannerisms very unlike Rijan. It's a pretty entertaining dynamic as Ton has to remind Toryu that she neither is a child nor she is the same person Rijan was. Still, it does seem like apple didn't fell far from the tree. When Toryu loses his talisman and goes berserk, Ton successfully understands that her great grandmother created a talisman to give the jiangshi a heart, not seal him like some powerful weapon. There's an effective dichotomy here as Ton is her own person but she nevertheless carries the legacy of her ancestor.
The most promising moment in Phantom's fourth episode comes at the very end where the Twilights have unanimously decided to make Ton their new manager. I'm hoping that'll produce some compelling one-off stories where she runs into all sorts of different Umbras. It's about the time this show moves past its setup.
Angolmois: Record of Mongol Invasion – Ep. 4
This is probably it as far as coverage for Angolmois goes. Part of that is me needing to bump another show to Filler for time but I have been losing interest in this show.
Once again, I think this show bears a cast too large for its own good. There's a handful I can readily recognize but some characters flat out vanished and others are so forgettable that I had to remind myself that they've been introduced. To make matters worse, Angolmois introduces even more people this episode and good luck remembering who any of them are. Even if the names did stick, a lot of these people seem relegated to standard archetypes. You got the mysterious ninja leader and you got the war hungry bad guy and that's kind of it with them right now.
It's a shame since I think this show has done a good job fleshing out its two main protagonists. Even then, I have to admit that Kuchii and Teruhi aren't the most original characters. And in the case of Teruhi, I'm starting to think that Angolmois is still figuring out what to do with her. There's potential in making her an efficient leader but so far, she got in the front lines once and immediately needed to step down due to an injury. After that, she just sits around, smiles, and asks how the fighting went. Things might change now that we discover the capital of Tsushima has been invaded. I hope so because Teruhi being so indirectly involved in the story is getting pretty frustrating.
I'll keep watching the show until at least the Summer midseason but let me make it clear that the novelty of there being a new military period piece anime is starting to wear off for me.
Thanks for reading!

Watch: AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan's hate speech against Modi govt
New Delhi, Mar 2: In a fresh trouble for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), a video is doing rounds on social media, where party MLA Amanatullah Khan is seen giving hate speech against the Modi government.
AAP MLA could land in a major trouble for his alleged hate speech as he is heard using some abusive words in the video.
Khan has alleged that the government has wrongfully arrested Muslim cleric Maulana Mufti Abdus Sami Qasmi for anti-national activities.
Also read: Batla House encounter was fake, will demand probe, says AAP leader Amanatullah Khan
In the video which dates back to February 16, Khan is seen making an appeal to the crowd to gherao the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh's house in New Delhi.
"If you people decide to gherao home minister's house...Delhi has a huge Muslim population. If you start doing it, then I can assure you that the government does not have that much courage to touch your children," said Amanatullah Khan.
"They (police) have no proof against Mufti Sami. I was told by police that he is involved in influencing youths to join anti-national forces. I will very soon ask you to come and protest for the release of Sami and you have to come," Khan further said.
Also read: AAP's Amanatullah Khan and the Indian Mujahideen allegation
According to a IndianExpress report, "A Delhi-based Islamic scholar, known for his fiery speeches, has become the first cleric to be arrested in connection with the National Investigation Agency's 'open FIR' against the Islamic State. The agency, along with the Uttar Pradesh ATS, arrested Mufti Abdus Sami Qasmi from Hardoi late Friday as its 20th accused in the case."
In a statement, the NIA was quoted as saying, "A non-bailable warrant against him had earlier been issued by the NIA special court at New Delhi. He has been arrested in the case of ongoing investigation into the conspiracy to form a terror organisation and to launch terror attacks in the country."
Delhi-based Islamic scholar was sent to NIA custody for ten days.

MadnessPosted: December 13, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized 7 Comments
I know why I bought this big old glass fisherman's buoy when I saw it in the store but I am not quite sure why I chose to paint it. Utter madness! Layers of green transparency and reflection. Changing light from my window. A perfect indoor challenge for a really cold December day.
7 Comments on "Madness"
You got it!
You have touched on my ultimate.goal of learning to paint glass. Great job! I love the big strong brush stroke at the top of the big ball. I will be saving this one as a great reference.

When our children were in grade school, my husband would explain their occasional absence for family travel and skiing with this phrase: You can't make memories as a family if they're in school.
This summed it up fairly well, until they hit middle school and the burden of homework increased. Suddenly, our kids weren't as interested in missing school. So, when the opportunity arose to take a long weekend as guests of Alta Lodge, I approached our boys gingerly. "Would you consider missing a Friday to go to Alta?" I asked. The answer was a resounding "YES!"
Off we went to make some memories.
The Alta Lodge Experience
Picture this: One place, a special place, where everything you need for a family ski vacation is on site. It's not a mega-resort, but an intimate, cozy ski lodge. It's not a cookie-cutter corporate destination, but a family owned and operated inn, with large, comfortable rooms and striking mountain views.
There's a dining room serving fresh, delicious food (think of that – the only decision you have to make is what to eat, not where to eat!). For après ski fun there are two indoor hot tubs, with floor to ceiling views, a large deck room with a big screen TV, as well as comfy couches on which to read together and tables where you can play games. The main lobby has a roaring fire and upstairs, just for adults, is the classic après ski Sitzmark Club bar.
And just for kids, well, downstairs is where it happens for them. Beginning at 4:30 each afternoon, guests between the ages of 4 and 12 can meet at the Kids' Club to play supervised games, hang out, make crafts and enjoy being kids. There is even a special kids' dinner each night in the main dining room.
After dinner, the fun continues with games, ping-pong, movies and more until the program ends at 8:15 p.m. And it's all free, provided by the Lodge for the enjoyment of their youngest guests (and let's be honest, the parents like it, too!).
Come morning, the Alta Lodge provides a free shuttle to and from the ski school and Alta Childrens' Center. All mom and dad have to do is get the kids ready to go by 8:45 a.m. Then it's time to dash off for first tracks or slow down for a leisurely breakfast before heading out to ski.
Options for Everyone
The beauty of the on site Kids' Club is that it gives families options. Parents can enjoy an après ski beer in the Sitzmark, while their children make Christmas ornaments (at least during December) with Lauren, the supervisor/fun specialist. The family can reunite for dinner one night. On another night, the kids can eat and play together, while the parents have a romantic dinner together. Everyone is cared for, everyone is accommodated, everyone is happy.
This is the Alta Lodge experience: World-class skiing, top-notch accommodations, fine dining and wines and an atmosphere that is both subtly elegant and so casual that families feel totally at home.
All that's left up to you is having fun and making memories, together.
A Little History
If you haven't been to Alta, a bit of background is helpful. Alta is, simply put, a legendary ski area. This season, the mountain celebrates is 75th birthday, commemorating January 15th, 1938, the day when Utah's first chairlift began turning.
The Alta Lodge opened the next season with 12 rooms, a bar and a dining room. The Levitt Family purchased the Lodge in 1959 and their children were raised in Alta, working in the family business and enjoying the unique pleasures of growing up in a tiny, isolated town with no school building, but some of the best skiing in the world. Their father became Alta's longest serving mayor and the family continues to run the Lodge.
Make It A Tradition
The Alta Lodge has a long family tradition – both in ownership and in emphasis. Many guests have returned to Alta Lodge for decades, booking the same week year-after-year. While we were visiting, we met Naomi. Before we met her, we knew she would be special. She has her own room in the newer wing, and we saw her at most meals, pleasantly holding court with other guests, waving at newcomers and sharing her zest for skiing. When we met her, we were amazed to learn that she is 90, going on 91, and skiing almost every day. She's been coming to Alta since 1965.
We've been coming to Alta since 2007. I can only hope that when I'm 90, we will be able to meet our sons and their families for skiing, fun and memories at The Alta Lodge.
When You Go…
Children 12 and under stay and eat free at The Alta Lodge during early and late season with a four-night minimum. Take the kids out of school and go! You won't regret it.
This winter, early season runs through December 15th (that means you can go this weekend or next!). Late season is April 1-14th.
During the rest of the season, the price per child is $55 per night for ages 4-6 and $85 per night for ages 7 – 12. For older kids sharing a room with their parents, the charge is $105 per night. Children under 4 are always free.
Room choices range from large corner rooms with three beds (PERFECT for a family!) to smaller rooms in the old Lodge, and everything in between. Room rates are based on double occupancy and all guests receive a full breakfast, with cook-to-order options, afternoon tea (save room!) and a gourmet four course dinner. An à la carte lunch is also served each day.

My Grandfather's World War I Log Book – Part 19 – France
November 1 – 4, 1918
You could "read a newspaper" by the 3am Artillery Barrage
My comments: My grandfather was with the U.S. Army 111th Engineers battalion. In this excerpt from his Log Book, he describes a huge offensive starting in the Argonne, and he writes that he saw sights he hoped "to never see again."
Bonus #1: As I researched what was happening on November 1, 1918 in World War I, I discovered that future U.S. President Harry Truman was in the Argonne offensive near my grandfather from September 26 to early November, and was one of the artillery officers leading the barrage that my grandfather writes about. I am including several excerpts from a letter Captain Harry Truman wrote on November 1, 1918 to his sweetheart back home, Bess Wallace.
Bonus #2: I am including a humorous anecdote from the November 8, 1918 issue of "The Stars & Stripes" (official newspaper of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I).
Excerpts from Log Book*:
Saw sights in German trenches "that I hope to never see again."
"November 1st, 1918: Well, this is the day we start to raise a little hell of our own. On the hike at 2:30 A.M. Our barrage started at 3 A.M., and talk about being able to read a newspaper at night, you sure could then. Our artillery was located at Fleville and everything was being fired from a rifle to the 16″ naval gun & it was some fireworks. We reached St. George where Jerry (Germans) had their front line trench & saw some sights there that I hope to never see again."
"Worked on road between St. George & Landes Georgine morning & between St. George & St. Juvin in afternoon. Went back to Fleville for supper, our first meal today. The dutch [Germans] tried to counter-attack but it wouldn't work."

"Nov 2nd: On hike at 7:30 A.M. Worked at St. George and like all other towns we went through just a city of ruins. We worked on road toward St. Juvin all night."
"Nov 3rd: Moved to Inecourt working on road in town. Our boys sure brought a number of prisoners through. The boche [Germans] have retreated so far and fast, our boys can't find them."
"Nov 4th: Moved to Sirry and repaired road in town."

[Bonus #1: Excerpts from a letter Captain Harry Truman wrote on November 1, 1918 to his sweetheart back home, Bess Wallace." At this time, he was the Captain of Battery D of the 129th Field Artillery Regiment of the 35th Division of the U.S. Army, fighting in the Argonne offensive not far from where my grandfather was.
"Dear Bess:
"I have just finished putting 1800 shells over on the Germans in the last five hours. They don't seem to have had energy enough to come back yet. I don't think they will.
"I got a letter of Commendation, capital C, from the Commanding General of the 35th Division. The Ordnance Repair Dept. made a report to him that I had the best conditioned guns after the drive that he had seen in France. The Gen. wrote me a letter about it. My chief mechanic is to blame not me. He knows more about guns than the French themselves. As usual in such cases, the C[ommanding] O[fficer] gets the credit. I think I shall put an endorsement on the letter stating the ability of my chief mechanic and stick it in the files anyway.,I am going to keep the original letter for my own personal and private use. It will be nice to have someday if some low browed north end politician tries to remark that I wasn't in the war when I'm running for eastern judge or something. I'll have the "papers" and can shut him up. If ever I get home from this war whole (I shall), I am going to be perfectly happy to follow a mule down a corn row the balance of my days – that is always providing such an arrangement is also a pleasure to you. I think the green pastures of Grand Old Missouri are the best looking of any that I have seen in this world yet and I've seen several brands.
I love you
Harry S Truman, Capt. 129 FA, American E.F."

[Bonus #2: Humor from the November 8, 1918 issue of "The Stars & Stripes" (official publication of the American Expeditionary Forces), Paris France:
"The officer, bent over the candle-lit task of censoring letters written from the Argonne battlefield, burst into a sweat and prayed for strength to resist a great temptation.
"There before him were two letters written by one soldier. One was to a girl in Brittany, begging her to be true to him and murmuring sweet prophecies of the day when he could come for her and take her back as his bride to America.
"The other letter was to his real fiancée in Ohio. And into the mind of the censoring officer had crept the mischievous notion that it would not be a bad idea to swap envelopes.
"At last accounts, he was still struggling with the temptation."]

Grave Sins (2009)
About book: Well that was just flipping infuriating.Good story but Ms MacLaine really needs to avoid mysteries- she is not good at them. I saw this coming from the very first mention of the baddy. I think a bit more research on the part of the author into how not to make it blindingly obvious would be good.Cin is fabulous but a few distractions especially jealousy-related ones, from the 'mystery' don't work when you have an intelligent heroine. I don't for one minute believe her character wouldn't have worked it out as fast as most of the readers did! So what were the other 250 pages for? This series is just a heck of a lot of fun. In this book, we got to find more out about the intricacies of vampire society. We got to see how Cin has found her place with The Righteous, and we got to meet a vampire king and queen. And we even got to see some more of Woof. What I think I enjoyed best was seeing Cin and Michael work out their relationship. They utterly love each other, but as the newlywed-style passion wears away, they have to get down to the nitty-gritty of making a relationship - one that could literally last for eternity - work. This is something we almost never get to see in PNR / UF, and I thought it was fabulous. I really enjoyed watching 2 people who are utterly loyal to each other work through the inevitable kinks in any relationship. And this series has a cast that I just adore all-around. Devlin and Juliana are magnificent (and I wouldn't be at all opposed to books that place them more towards the center), and there are plenty of others in the supporting cast that I have really grown to love. The author seems to have a concrete end-game in mind, which she is steering towards with Morrigan. I can't wait to see what she has planned.
Love this series.....Just wish there were more of them!
I really enjoy this series and really liked this book.
Pretty good story line. Slow character development.
Awesome book! Looking forward to the next one!!

Worthing (/ˈwɜːrðɪŋ/) is a large seaside town in England, with borough status in West Sussex. It is situated at the foot of the South Downs, 10 miles (16 km) west of Brighton, and 18 miles (29 km) east of the county town of Chichester.
With an estimated population of 104,600 and an area of 12.5 square miles (32.37 km2) the borough is the second largest component of the Brighton/Worthing/Littlehampton conurbation, which makes it part of the 15th most populous urban area in the United Kingdom. Since 2010 northern parts of the borough, including the Worthing Downland Estate, have formed part of the South Downs National Park.
The area around Worthing has been populated for at least 6,000 years and contains Britain's greatest concentration of Stone Age flint mines, which are some of the earliest mines in Europe.
Lying within the borough, the Iron Age hill fort of Cissbury Ring is one of Britain's largest. Worthing means "(place of) Worth/Worō's people", from the Old English personal name Worth/Worō (the name means "valiant one, one who is noble"), and -ingas "people of" (reduced to -ing in the modern name).

New £5.2M housing scheme for Ballyclare
News • Nov 11, 2016 11:52 GMT
Communities Minister, Paul Givan, has announced a new £5.2M housing scheme in Ballyclare.
The development at the 'The Square' has been designed by RPP Architects and will provide 39 new homes for active older people and space for a social enterprise.
The scheme will be located on the site of a former department store and will be funded by £3.2M from the Northern Ireland Executive, with Choice Housing Association providing an additional £2M through private finance.
On his visit to Ballyclare to mark the announcement, the Communities Minister commented: "This year the NI Executive, through the Department for Communities, will deliver 1,600 homes for the people of Northern Ireland. This programme aims to provide housing to meet the needs of many in our society – from families with young children to our older population.
"This scheme at The Square in Ballyclare will help meet the demand in this area for accommodation for the active elderly and provide 39 homes for people on the social housing waiting list."
Mr Givan said that the housing development would give the older residents the chance to live independently and play an active role in community life.
Chief Executive of Choice Housing, Michael McDonnell, said the homes have been specifically designed to meet the demands of older residents due to their energy efficiency, accessibility and adaptability.
He commented: "There are many demands for housing in today's society and it is important that we get more homes underway. In Choice, we have an extensive new-build programme in place and are determined to do what we can to meet considerable need.
"We're working in close partnership with local communities to deliver ambitious targets and meaningful change."
The scheme should be complete in August 2018.

New Country artist Dylan Scott has been having a whirlwind year in the first half of 2018. A couple of big tours, including one with Justin Moore, has Dylan hitting the road about four days a week. As for the off days, Dylan has been happy to just spend time at home with his eight month old son, Beckett, and his wife Blair. Scott told "Taste Of Country" recently, "This year I had my first Father's Day and it was just so special."
Meanwhile new music is slowly being released from Scott and the Lousiana native is always looking for new ways to add a surpise into his setlist. No word on whether this cover of Dan + Shay's "Speechless" will make it to a future show, but it sounds pretty good.

Arkansas is a mountainous state stuck between the Midwest and the South. Bluegrass music has thrived here over the years, and you can find some lively country dancing. The Ozarks are beautiful, and there are opportunities for many different activities. You can do some great fishing and varied watersports, or explore some caves. For a simple, high-quality trip, just pitch a tent or rent a cabin in the Ozark National Forest, hike, and breathe fresh air. There are also spas you can go for some pampering in Hot Springs, Little Rock, and Eureka Springs.
In the news today, there is an actual raw restaurant in Arkansas. There's also a gastropub! These findings are something in the land of ribs and Tyson chicken. You can also get light fare like smoothies and wraps, load up on veggies at diners, or order from an organic brunch menu including tofu scrambles. There is vegetarian Indian food and celiac-friendly dim sum, and considering the growing Asian population in the state they might be somewhat authentic. Arkansas is getting closer to living up to its name, The Natural State.

A number of Fort Worth, TX police officers are being hailed as heroes after risking their lives to save an unconscious man from a burning car.
While that may not sound surprising to those who understand the risks that most police officers assume every day they go to work, the incident in Fort Worth had an added element of surprise: the man officers saved was a potentially armed robbery suspect who had just led them on a car chase.
The incident unfolded a few weeks back after officers spotted a vehicle associated to an armed robbery. After trying to stop the vehicle, it led officers on a brief chase before crashing.
Two of the occupants fled and were apprehended; however, one of the suspects was left unconscious in the vehicle.
Then the suspect car burst into flames.
Not knowing if the remaining suspect was armed, the officers nonetheless jumped into action and pulled the suspect out of the burning vehicle.
"When the officers pull him from the vehicle, you can see one of the corporals ask him if he's okay. He's unconscious," said Sgt. Marc Povero.
Turns out, weapons were located in the vehicle after all.
The suspect pulled from the vehicle was treated and booked into custody. All three men are now facing robbery charges.
