JERUSALEM, March 18 (UPI) -- Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's new ministers were approved by the Knesset and sworn in Monday.
Ultra-conservative orthodox lawmakers made their displeasure with Netanyahu clear by walking out on his speech, Ynetnews, The Jerusalem Post and Haaretz reported.
Israel's 33rd government was approved on a 68-48 vote with four members absent, with United Torah Judaism Knesset Member Yisrael Eichler calling out during the vote he was "opposed to the evil government," Ynetnews said. The party's members later walked out while Netanyahu spoke, returning later.
Netanyahu, who heads the government for a third time, said the job "carries the supreme responsibility of the fate of the one and only Jewish state."
"Our existence here is not self evident and our presence here is not incidental," he said, adding he has put together "an experienced team side-by-side with a fresh young group [of people] and this combination can lead to great changes in Israel, changes expected by the people, first and foremost a dramatic increase of the sharing of the national burden, dramatically reducing the cost of living, reducing the housing prices and increasing housing supply."
Opposition Chairwoman Shelly Yachimovich of the Labor Party also criticized the governing coalition.
"You are a wealthy, satiated leadership, who may physically be sitting among the people but who fails to understand the people," Yachimovich said, deriding Netanyahu and his associates as "capitalists" who "come from privileged backgrounds and have never struggled to make a living."
Haaretz reported Meretz leader Zahava Gal-On told the Knesset the new government is dominated by the right wing.
"The big winners are the settlers, who took over the economic and real estate-related decision making," she said. "They will continue to transfer government funds across the green line.
"In fact, the new government will do a lot for the settlers and not much at all for the rest of Israeli society."
Netanyahu's appointments included those of former Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz as minister of international relations, former army Chief of Staff Moshe Yaalon as defense minister, Silvan Shalom as minister of energy and Gideon Sa'ar as interior minister.
The last two appointments, about 2 a.m., were those of Steinitz and Shalom.
Steinitz, among other things, will be charged with handling nuclear issues and strategic dialogue with the United States. He also joins the country's peace negotiating team.
The appointments were reported by the Times of Israel, Yedioth Ahronoth and Ynetnews.com.
Yair Lapid will be the next finance minister, Naftali Bennet becomes minister of trade and commerce and religious affairs, Tzipi Livni will be justice minister and head negotiations with the Palestinians, Yaacov Perry will be science and technology minister, and Yair Shamir, son of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, will be minister of agriculture.

TSF, the shelhorse family
Hello and thank you for stopping by! I created TSF Designs as a way to explore the world of vinyl and creating custom designs. I have always enjoyed doing anything crafty and enjoy doing almost any type of craft project, This allows me to do something new and different each day and to save for my daughter. I became a SAHM right before my daughters first birthday (she is now five years old) and had been doing vinyl for about a year at that point, just for us, family and friends. So, later that same year we decided to open to the public, well Etsy and locally :) From there TSF, or " The Shelhorse Family" designs was born! I wanted a name that included my family, since my husband does help and my daughter tries... but this is all for her. I opened to be able to have some "mommy-time" to craft and to be able to save for her. Now she is close to five and a half years old she sits beside me while I'm "working" and she "picks vinyl & does orders". I'm sure some less intricate stuff will be done by her in the coming years :)
My family and I are truly thankful for each and every order and we hope you love each design that you purchase. Thank you for stopping by and we hope if you haven't ordered from us before that you will and that you will love your TSF Design!

Additional policies and FAQs
Step One: Clean the area thoroughly; make sure to completely dry the area after using any cleaners/rags. Even small bits of dust and debris can prevent the decal from properly bonding to the surface.
Step Two: Test fit your new decal's placement before removing the paper backing. Slowly peel the decal's paper backing away. (SLOWLY, pulling too quickly can pull off portions on the vinyl with it)
Step Three: Slowly place the decal in the area of your choosing and once the decal is stuck on the area, use a straightedge (a credit card or ID card will do) to firmly press the vinyl to the surface. Using consistent, firm pressure, run the straightedge over the decal several times. Use the straightedge to both press the vinyl to the surface and push out any air bubbles stuck under the decal. (Be careful not to press too hard to prevent creases)
Step Four: Starting from one end of the decal, peel the decal's transfer tape (clear or opaque) off of the surface. The key here is to peel very, very slowly. Be sure to peel the decal's transfer tape back at a sharp and low of an angle as possible rather than pulling the transfer tape straight up and off. Peeling back and low pulls the transfer tape off the surface without pulling the vinyl decal off with it. If the decal pulls away from the surface repeat Step 3. The vinyl decal cover will peel off easily, and it shouldn't leave any residue behind. In the event the cover leaves adhesive residue on the window surface, use a small dab of Goo-Gone to wipe it away.
* For best results do not apply decal during extreme hot or cold temperatures *

Me and my colleagues went out and "pigged out" last week. We exchanged gifts after work and ate pizza. We then decided to go to Seaside Resto - we also call it "Dampa" where we had ourselves filled with seafood delicacies! It was indeed a great treat for us! I had so much fun just laughing and chatting with my colleagues.
Here are some photos taken during that day.

Something I really miss about living in the city is taking in beautiful scenes of God's creation. I miss long drives on country roads, the blaze of a star filled sky, and the dance of trees on a windy afternoon. We miss the sounds of the outdoors and the crisp clean air. Last weekend we got away on a camping trip and got to breath in all the beauties of the earth. It was magical and majestic, it was beautiful and breathtaking.
We discovered that with only an hour drive we could experience all those things we had been missing. We entered Angeles National Forest and we entered a different world. We had no idea some place so beautiful set so close to the busy, hustle and bustle city streets we spent our everydays on.
The drive into the forest left me awestruck, such beauty. Mountain scapes painted across the skies, tree painted mountain sides and as we drove we were nestled under the protection of the roadside trees. The drive itself is an experience and worth every minute.
Each day was filled with something beautiful. Small details of natures touch, large breath taking views, and hikes along the mountain side. We found a place that felt like home, we always seem to feel at home in the mountains nestled under the trees. Where are places that you get away? xo. Samantha

Many of these works created within this framework, creates a physical form for something previously intangible and mutable.
Using myself as starting point, I look at my own tendencies towards digital material production and desire for coproduction through my engagement with E-commerce websites and social media.

According to the late bible teacher, Derek Prince, death and hades are persons. Below are excerpts from the book The Spirit-filled Believer's Handbook.
Just what is the true nature of Death and Hades as revealed in the New Testament? John's famous vision of the four horsemen sheds light on this question. Concerning the fourth horseman, John says:
And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him (Rev. 6:8).
It is obvious from this account that both Death and Hades were revealed to John as being persons. Only a person could sit on a horse, and only another person could follow along with this first one. This passage therefore casts light on the nature of Death and Hades as revealed in the Scriptures.
In one sense death is a state or condition. It is the cessation of life, the experience which results in the separation of the spirit from the body. However, Death is also a person. Death is the dark angel, the minister of Satan who claims the spirit of every unrighteous person that is separated from his body when he dies.
A similar truth applies also to Hades. In one sense Hades is a place of confinement for departed spirits. In another sense, however, Hades is a person. Hades, like Death, is a dark angel, a minister of Satan, following close upon the heels of Death. Hades takes charge of the spirits of the unrighteous which have been claimed by Death and conducts them to the realm of departed spirits from which he receives his name – that is, Hades.
Thus Death and Hades are both dark angels, ministers of Satan's infernal kingdom. But the difference between them is this: Death first claims the departing spirits of all who die in unrighteousness; Hades receives them from Death and conducts them to their appointed place of imprisonment. For this reason John saw them moving among men in that order: first Death, claiming the departing spirits, then Hades, taking them to their prison in the lower world.
This scene from Revelation casts light on the words of Jesus.
Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death (John 8:51). ·
Jesus does not say here that the believer will not experience physical death. He says that the believer will not "see death." He is not referring to the physical condition of death which results from the separation of the spirit from the body. When He speaks of "seeing death," He is referring to the person of the dark angel whose name is Death, and to the other dark angel, his companion, whose name is Hades.
Jesus means that the spirit of the true believer, on departing from the body, will never come under the dominion of these two dark angels, Death and Hades. Rather, like the poor beggar Lazarus, the departing spirit of the true believer will be met by God's angels – the angels of light – and by them be escorted to Paradise.
With this in mind, too, we can understand Paul's statement that "the last enemy that will be destroyed is death" (1 Cor. 15:26); and also John's statement that "then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire" (Rev. 20:14).
In each of these passages the primary reference is to Death and Hades as persons, as dark angels, ministers of Satan and enemies of God and the human race. The last of all God's enemies to receive the judgment due him will be Death. Together with Hades he will be cast into the lake of fire, there to join their master, Satan, and all the rest of Satan's servants and followers both angelic and human.
By this final act of judgment, the last of God's enemies will forever have been banished from His presence.

The FAA is not going to meet its deadline of September 30 for introducing legislation regarding commercial drone usage.

HARRISBURG, Pa.–Police are looking for a person of interest following a multi-vehicle crash which injured nine people in Harrisburg earlier this month.
Quran Brown, who formerly resided in Lower Paxton Township, is wanted for questioning, according to police reports.
The crash happened just before 6 p.m. on Nov. 18 near 13th and Derry Streets. Investigators say a person driving at a high rate of speed hit a car along Derry Street. That vehicle became air born and hit eight other vehicles. Nine people were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries.
The driver who caused the initial crash fled the scene, which covered half a city block, police said.
Anyone with information on Brown's whereabouts is asked to call police at 717-315-4581.

Coney Island USA
New York City
Coney Island USA is a non-profit organization that creates innovative exhibitions and performances rooted in the unique traditions of Coney Island. CIUSA operates the Coney Island Museum and Circus Sideshow and produces the popular annual Mermaid Parade. The sideshow theater, bar, gift shop, and museum currently share tight quarters in CIUSA's existing 1920s landmark building, a former Child's Restaurant, on Surf Avenue.
Our master plan devised a strategy for future expansion of CIUSA's facilities and programs. Phase One transforms the adjacent ice cream shop into flexible event space with connections to the landmark building. Phase Two includes HVAC work, sprinkler upgrades, and ADA access. Phase Three uses air transfer rights to develop a hybrid tower with a dedicated Circus Sideshow theater; rehearsal space; an artist residency program; workshops; entrepreneur incubators; gift shop; and on the top floors, a bar and restaurant with views of Coney Island and the Atlantic Ocean.
The design of the tower is inspired by iconic structures in the Coney Island Amusement District including the Cyclone and Parachute Jump and the now lost but not forgotten Dreamland and colossal Elephant Hotel.

Why pearls? Did you ever play Pretty Pretty Princess as a kid? I was not a very "girly" little girl but I did play this game occasionally. To win, you try to get all the pieces of jewelry plus the crown (avoid that black ring). Man, I was big stuff with all my bedazzlement. In my grown-up life, I wear my pearls for big events, church and when I need a pick-me-up. They are a reminder to me that I'm "big stuff" even when life around me is crazy and I don't feel so awesome.
This blog and topics will hopefully be pearls to you. My mission is to make it a platform for empowering you, promoting self-care & wellness and relaying information so you don't have to come to my office when you are a hot mess. Sure, we all are hot messes at times (I say, "Sweats and a messy bun, yes please!"). But I want to tackle issues that concern you and offer help. I hope to give a meaningful perspective from all the roles I play: doctor, mom, wife, etc. I promise to give you the real truth with the facts.
Though you may have stumbled upon this blog by accident or come to it for a reason, please join me. My hope is that you leave refreshed, educated and ready to take on the chaos.
Be Well!

Hello, everyone – I hope this finds you all happy and healthy and ready for Spring. This past Thursday marks the end of one of my two science classes this semester. It was a class condensed into half a semester and, although it was not a difficult class for me, I'm glad to finally have a little bit of wiggle room in my schedule and taking that final was a load off my mind, literally.
Also, I seem to have made it past the most difficult part of my biology class. The first half of this semester felt like trying to run through pea soup. Today, it's rainy and windy and flowers are blooming…all those little signs of Spring are recharging my batteries and the world feels less oppressive and serious.
There haven't been many opportunities to get outside with my camera, so I've been clicking with my iPhone on the run, which is the source of all the pictures I'm sharing today. The tulips are especially exciting because I planted them this winter just so I would see them during the semester when I don't have time to garden. Turns out, I did the right thing and I'd like to thank myself for the forethought. Thank you, self!
One of the most wonderful things that happened turned out to be a very quiet personal moment in the middle of a difficult biology exam last week. We have been mired in chemistry for the last few weeks and I was getting lost in the details and hadn't been outside in what seemed like forever. I missed gardening and it felt like I would have my nose in a textbook forever and ever…So one of the test questions was to write out in great detail the process of photosynthesis, paying special attention to the part when energy from the sun is transformed into chemical energy in a plant. I took a deep breath and began…."A photon of light from the sun is captured by a complex of light-absorbing pigments embedded in the thylakoid membrane of a chloroplast located in the cell of a leaf." Somewhere in the middle of writing that sentence, I heard the poetry. I suddenly remembered why I was there in the first place and what all the work was for. The rest of the answer flowed out of me like the lyrics to a favorite song. It was one of the happiest moments EVER! The section on photosynthesis is over and we're moving on to genetics, but that brief moment of deep and nerdy bliss in the middle of a test was all it took to put the fragments of 'me' back into a cohesive whole. It was a good day. I came home and planted seeds to celebrate and while I was out there, I took the following photo…a million photons of light showering my tulips with magic.

"Tell a wise person, or else keep silent,
because the mass man will mock it right away.
I praise what is truly alive,
what longs to be burned to death.
In the calm water of the love-nights,
where you were begotten, where you have begotten,
a strange feeling comes over you,
when you see the silent candle burning.
Now you are no longer caught
in the obsession with darkness,
and a desire for higher love-making
sweeps you upward.
Distance does not make you falter.
Now, arriving in magic, flying,
and finally, insane for the light,
you are the butterfly and you are gone.
And so long as you haven't experienced
this: to die and so to grow,
you are only a troubled guest
on the dark earth."
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Ladies and Gentlemen, please help me welcome back our dear friend and talented poet, Ruth Bavetta. Her poem "Autumn Sacrifice", which originally appeared in Spillway, is the perfect way to show off the first pomegranate to come from my fledgling tree. Thank you again Ruth, for sharing your talent.
Autumn Sacrifice
~ By Ruth Bavetta
When I bring the pomegranates into the kitchen,
already my hands are stained with red.
The bruised globes, with their gaping wounds,
ooze crimson onto the white tiles.
The hard dry skins resist my knife.
A slip, and my blood mingles with the fruit's.
Cooked with sugar, thickened, poured into jars,
the jelly is both sweet and bitter.

It's one of those rainy winter weekends when I get to catch up on those garden tasks that do not require my presence in the great outdoors. So yesterday, I sat and pulled my black Hollyhock seeds out of their capsules. There are quite a few! So, I'm going to share them with you. How awesome would it be if next Summer my little flowers, which originally came from Andrea, were spread about the country making someone else happy?! If you'd like to try some in your own garden, please make a comment here with your address in it and I'll mail you an envelope of Alcea rosea seeds – most likely 'Nigra' or 'Watchman' cultivars. All comments are approved by me before going public, so I'll just keep it our little secret and then let everyone know when I run out. Not to worry though, because next fall there will be more, that's the beauty of plants and seeds.

Hello. I hope this brief post finds you all happy and well. Things have been a bit intense lately, at work and school and especially in my head. There is a team presentation due in class today and another test on Thursday. After that, maybe I can breathe a little bit for a couple of days and think about something else. In the meantime, I wanted to share some photos with you. These were taken in the canyon just North of our home on Sunday. It had been raining and the canyon was beautiful, all the leaves are turning too. Funny, Tom and I wouldn't have gone on that hike, but I needed some photos of poison oak for the class presentation and it forced us out there. We were both so happy and vowed to go again this coming Sunday. Enjoy:
It stopped raining just long enough for our hike, and the blue sky was beautiful.
We found some juicy looking mushrooms growing on an oak tree.
I really really LOVE Sycamore trees.
This one is surround by a carpet of Poison Oak, which is also growing up the trunk – beautiful and very itchy.
Sometimes, when I'm in this canyon, I forget that it's right next to the highway.
Dear Future Self…

Dear Future Self,
I hope you like the tulips I planted.
Ok, it's the time of year to plant bulbs and corms! A month ago I had decided not to plant anything until Spring, giving my soil a chance to rest and time for me to bring in a truck-load of compost. Then Tom brought me a bag of tulips and I just had to prep a bed and plant them! He also brought me a bag of compost, remembering my plans. He's just the most to say the least.
So the compost was worked in and the soil was turned over three times to a depth of, well the depth of my pitchfork blades, about 8″. Plant your tulips in a well drained area so they don't rot over the winter and put them in about 5″ deep. That should just about do it. Check back in Spring!
The Savage Garden

"Every stress leaves an indelible scar, and the organism pays for its survival after a stressful situation by becoming a little older." ~ Dr. Hans Selye
Yesterday was an awesome day. There was a big test in Botany, which was my focus for the last week. We have been studying cellular respiration, and photosynthesis. They are very similar, with one being basically the reverse of the other. That kind of fooled me into thinking I was going to memorize it without a lot of pain. I was wrong. We're talking about 100 different steps and half that number in atoms and molecules of this or that chemical, which dance around and punch each other out until they make molecules of yet more this-y and that-y chemicals. There are no generalities either. Every move, every chemical, needs dissecting and remembrance. There was no high school biology for me, so now that I've caught up a little, I find myself thoroughly humbled by the elegant and complicated brew that Mother Nature has managed to cook up. She's a bad-ass and I wish she would have imprinted this knowledge on my gray matter. Indelibly. Well, it's over for now and I can catch up on other parts of life. Like my new plant!
Sunday, Tom brought me a Pitcher Plant. A Nepenthes x mixta hybrid, most likely. These are among the easiest to care for in the carnivorous plant world. This is great because my last try at carnivorous plants did not end well. It was years ago, but I kept the book I bought for reference, since I knew I would someday have another one. The book, "The Savage Garden: Cultivating Carnivorous Plants" by Peter D'Amato is now on my reading list, especially the chapter pertaining to my species. It gets excellent reviews, and I kept it all these years for a reason.
Carnivorous plants are nothing less than utterly awe-inspiring. Their response to living for millenia in crappy soil conditions, was to modify their leaves into all sorts of contraptions like pitchers, pipes, and snapping jaws. All of this so they can lure insects, and sometimes small rodents, kill them slowly, then live on the nutrients left by the decaying bodies. Plants don't sit around and whine about the cards they were dealt or envy and get angry at the carrot living in a garden full of luscious, mineral-rich soil. They just take care of business. I have a serious respect for plants.
"Ah, but we are splendid devils, aren't we? "Hunters of the Savage Garden," I said.

Shaky hands are commonly referred to as a hand tremor. A hand tremor isn't life-threatening, but it can make daily tasks difficult. It can also be an early warning sign of some neurological and degenerative conditions. You should speak with your doctor if you experience hand tremors.
Many people associate shaky hands with Parkinson's disease, but the most common cause of shaking hands is actually essential tremor.
Essential tremor is also the most common neurologic disorder affecting adults, but it's not well-understood. It's likely caused by a disruption in the normal functioning of the cerebellum. Researchers aren't entirely sure what causes the interruption nor how to stop it. They're also unclear about whether it's a degenerative process.
People with essential tremor experience frequent shaking. The shaking can't be controlled and most often occurs in the hands, arms, head, and vocal cords.
Keep reading: Essential tremor »
By comparison, people with Parkinson's disease typically experience a hand tremor when their muscles are at rest and see a reduction in the tremor when their muscles are in use. Shaky hands can also be caused by:
- seizure
- overactive thyroid
- cerebellar disease
- Huntington's disease
- medication side effects
- caffeine overdose
- alcohol abuse or addiction
- anxiety
- low blood sugar
Not everyone with shaky hands will need treatment, but if your doctor decides you're a good candidate, you may first begin by taking prescription medication.
Commonly prescribed medications
The most commonly prescribed medications for essential tremors or shaky hands are:
- propranolol (Inderal)
- primidone (Mysoline)
- long-acting propranolol (Inderal LA)
Propranolol is a beta-blocker designed to treat arrhythmia and hypertension, while primidone is an antiseizure medication.
If these do not work for you, your doctor may recommend other medications.
Other beta-blockers
Sotalol (Betapace) and atenolol (Tenormin) are also beta-blockers that may be used to treat essential tremor. Your doctor may prescribe one of these medications if other medications don't help your tremor.
Other antiseizure medications
Gabapentin (Neurontin) and topiramate (Topamax) are other medications primarily used to treat seizures. They may be helpful for people with essential tremor.
Anxiety medication
Alprazolam (Xanax) is used to treat anxiety and panic disorders, but
Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) shows promise as a treatment for essential tremor in the hands. This medicine may cause permanent muscle weakness where injected, so be sure to talk with your doctor about the potential risks and benefits. The benefits from a successful injection can last up to three months. Subsequent injections may be needed.
Your doctor is unlikely to recommend surgery as your first treatment option. Surgical treatments are typically reserved for people who have a severely disabling tremor. Surgery may become an option as you age or if the tremor worsens.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS)
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure used to treat a tremor. During a DBS procedure, a surgeon will place an electronic device called an electrode in your brain. Once in your brain, the device emits an electronic signal that interferes with the brain activity responsible for the tremor. DBS is currently only recommended for people with advanced or severe limb tremor.
Thalamotomy is another surgical option. During this procedure, your surgeon will cut a small lesion in your brain's thalamus. This interrupts the brain's normal electrical activity and reduces or stops the tremor.
Your doctor may recommend one or more lifestyle changes as a way to possibly help ease the symptoms of essential tremor. Suggestions may include to:
- Use heavier objects. You may need to replace lightweight or delicate objects, such as glasses, silverware, or plates, with heavier versions. The extra weight may make the item easier to handle.
- Use specially designed utensils and tools. Gripping and controlling pens, pencils, garden tools, and kitchen utensils may be difficult if you have shaky hands. You may need to seek out versions of these items that are designed for individuals with grip and control issues. For example, there are many adaptive utensil options available on Amazon.com.
- Wear wrist weights. The extra weight on your arm may make control easier. Find a great selection of wrist weights here.
Treatment options will be determined by the cause of your hand tremor, though there is no cure for most tremors. If your tremor is caused by an underlying condition, treating that condition may reduce or eliminate the tremor. If caffeine, alcohol, or other stimulants affect your tremor, consider removing them from your diet. If your tremor is a side effect of medication, speak with your doctor about your options.
If your shaky hands are caused by essential tremor, there is no cure. The problem, which often begins in early adulthood, will likely worsen as you age. Treatments may offer some symptom relief. The types of treatment you use will depend on how severe the shaking is and the potential side effects of each treatment option. You and your doctor can weigh your options.
If you've experienced shaky hands or symptoms of essential tremor, make an appointment to speak with your doctor. Your doctor will likely request several medical and physical tests to rule out other possibilities before a diagnosis can be made.
Once a diagnosis has been made, you can begin to discuss treatment options. Treatment may not be necessary if the tremor is mild and doesn't interfere with day-to-day activities. If the shaking becomes too difficult to manage, you can revisit the treatment options. Finding one that works well with minimal side effects may take time. Work with your doctor and any therapists or specialists you visit to find a plan that best suits your needs.
The most common cause of shaky hands is essential tremor. This neurological disorder causes frequent, uncontrolled shaking. Other causes of shaky hands include anxiety and seizures. While there's no cure for most hand tremors, prescription medications and lifestyle changes may provide relief, depending on the cause.

Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Ashburn
As mentioned in past reviews this is a great restaurant, quality food and wine and fair pricing. However, while the service staff are good you often are left waiting. Not sure if this is by design to not rush you or they are waiting on too many tables.
Always amazing. Wine tastings, food is excellent and consistent.
Great menu options. Friendly and efficient staff. Great wines.
The lobster/crab bisque soup and wedge salad was super yummy! Definitely a top favorite place to have lunch. We will be back for sure.
We have been here a couple of times before. The food before was very nice. This time, it was too salty. The waiter was good and offered a nice wine. We wanted to buy a couple of bottles before we left but the bartender was very busy. The table next to us had trash and kid's toys on the floor from the family that was there as we arrived. I would have thought someone would have come to clean it up or even bus the table. It did not happen. We will just write this off as a bad night.
Great food, outdoor seating is really nice, great gluten-free menu. Service needs to step it up :)
Sat outside, food fantastic as usual. When our calamari appetizer was late they took it off the check. Everything else was perfect as usual. One of our favorite restaurants.
The waiter was fast to take orders, but food took almost 40 minutes to arrive and my plate was cold when served. I asked for a second glass of wine as the food was taking forever to come and that one only arrived when I was almost done with the food.
Very disorganized....
Really enjoyed the Healthy choice Salmon. The service is fantastic, nobody pushing us to drink more wine etc. Great time!
Seated at 7:20pm for 7 pm reservations.
Wait staff seemed to be new and inexperienced.
Service was inconsistent, drinks arrived at different times.
Had to send back meatballs to be reheated.
Great experience at Coopers Hawk! We celebrated birthday and anniversary with another couple. Love the red wine decanter at the table. Food is great but would be nice to have more rotation in the menu. Wedge salad is loaded with Blue cheese!!
The food took forever to come. Our waiter disappeared several times. I got very sick that night. Very disappointed.
So far we've never been disappointed eating here. Tonight I had this braised short ribs and they were delicious my husband had the piccata salmon and he loved it.
First time visitors and will definitely be back. The food was amazing as was the service. They have outside seating, a tasting room and the place is big!
First of all, I would like to thank Don for going out of his way to reseat us both because of the "noise level"--very loud when you are seated around the corner from the bar area--and also because it was quite chilly where we were originally seated. Don was not only first rate manager in accommodating our request but he also gave the four of us a glass of champagne at the conclusion of our meal in acknowledgement of both ours and the other couples "50th wedding anniversaries!" It was the first time our friends had been to Cooper's Hawk and I think they enjoyed the evening. The only negative comment I have about the food was the bruschetta which while delicious was very difficult to eat. The bread was a bit soggy and the cherry tomatoes kept falling off the slices. I finally ended up eating mine with a knife and a fork. I might suggest that the bread slices be smaller, toasted a bit more, and the tomatoes be chopped.
We went for an early dinner. Service was good and the food was very good but a bit pricey. My husband was very disappointed that they no longer have the crab beignets! That was a favorite for the family.
It was our 36th anniversary and our server Chris did a great job even though he was pretty busy. We enjoyed our meal in nice surroundings. Thank you.
Usually we like this place but our server was horrible tonight. He was extremely slow, disappeared for long periods of time. Food was good. Biggest issue was he dropped off the wrong check to us and never came back. After a long while we found a manager ourselves paid the right check and left. Really put a bad feeling overall to us about coming back.
Usually service and food are very good. We waiting over 30 minutes for a glass of wine and bread. Gnocchi arrived burned on one side. Very disappointing dinner.
I love this place. The food is excellent and they have a gluten free menu.
Coopers Hawk is always fantastic. Food is great and so is the service. We can always count on Coopers Hawk to deliver!
Love this restaurant! Great food, awesome staff and great times.
The food was absolutely amazing. The Bacon and Cheese plate was an awesome choice! It was a little loud at first but that was coming from one particularly large table having a birthday. The service was impeccable. Chris R was our server and his attention, focus, and recommendations were spot on! When we return (which we definitely will) we will make sure we request one of his tables. His knowledge and personality were great. What a fantastic evening!
My filet was delicious however my dates NY strip was average and not much taste. Our waitress was amazing.
My wife and I enjoyed our evening there and tasted very good wine.
Excellent place to eat and be with people.
This was our second time dining at Cooper's Hawk and sadly it was no better than the first. Our appetizer of southwest egg rolls was ok, but the flavor was a bit flat and unremarkable. Our entrees of surf and turf were fair at best. Tenderloin medallions were not flavorful and Parmesan topping was salty. The crab cake was made with low quality crab and had a poor flavor. Aioli was salty and not edible. The roasted vegetables were served in a heaping black pile so charred they were not recognizable. Hard to imagine why they were even served. Mashed potatoes were cold. I would say a fail all around unless you had enough wine not to care. Will not recommend or return, we will leave this one to the wine drinkers!
21st Wedding Anniversary
Great place to go with amazing wine selection and menu.
The food and service was excellent. Our wanted was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Service is always hit or miss
Went for my birthday. Always a great time at Coopers' Hawk. Service was excellent. Our server was attentive, friendly, and fantastic personality. Her recommendations were spot on. Food incredible. Wife and I enjoy the wine selection and are Monthly Wine Members, so we like trying the new monthly wine selection. . Although little disappointed this trip as they were already out of the Wine of the Month on the 2nd day of the month. Great for all occasions whether seated in the bar or in the restaurant.
Great food, great service. We will definitely return!
Great food and service. Would highly recommend.
Great wine, great food, great time.
Made a reservation through Open Table. Arrived to be told that the "kitchen was closed" and they could not accommodate us. If they knew they were closing early, why accept the reservation?
Very accommodating staff. Great food
Great food, great company, great time had by all.
We made a reservation for an outdoor table and were seated within 5 minutes of arriving at a great outdoor table. The service was excellent as well as the food and wine. Highly recommend to all!
Our experience was fantastic and more than expected. The service was great and the food was perfect. The best dinner that we've had for quite a while. Would highly recommend and we plan to return, even though we don't live near.

New Front in Charter Schools
In Massachusetts, a Pair of Democrats Push to Lift Restrictions in Some Districts
BOSTON—Massachusetts lawmakers are considering eliminating a cap on the number of charter schools that can operate in the lowest-performing school districts, including here in the capital city.
While other states also have weighed lifting caps, charter advocates point to left-leaning Massachusetts as a somewhat unlikely model for the movement. "This demonstrates that charter schools are a viable reform," said Nina Rees, president of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, a nonprofit aimed at advancing the...

A series of experiments was conducted to examine the role of glutamate in the behavioral and neurotoxic effects of methamphetamine (MA). Rats treated with MA accoding to an escalating dose schedule (2.5,5,7.5 and 10.0 mg/kg, sc, twice a day on days 1,3,5 and 7, respectively) indicated behavioral sensitization. Pretreatment with either a noncompetitive (MK-801,0.5 mg/kg, ip) or a competitive (D-CPP-ene, 20 mg/kg, ip) NMDA antagonist prior to MA administration prevented the development of behavioral sensitization.On the other hand, rats treated with four injections of MA (5.0 or 7.5 mg/kg, sc, at 2 hr intervals) caused significant decrements (40-60% of control values) in levels of DA in the striatum and 5-HT in various brain regions. These decreases in DA and 5-HT were prevented by pretreatment with MK-801 or D-CPP-ene. Microdialysis studies revealed that the toxic dose of MA significantly increased levels of glutamate in the striatum.Effects of Nitric Oxide (NO) syntase inhibition on MA-induced behavior and behavioral sensitization were also examined. Nw-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, an inhibitor of NO synthase, significantly decreased the level of locomotion and stereotypy. In addition, the inhibitor reduced the degree of sensitization to sterotypy stimulating effect of MA.These results suggest that the glutamatergic system plays an important role for MA-induced behavioral sensitization and neurotoxicity.

Golden syrup chocolate cupcakes
These cupcakes have an amazing consistency all-over: the cupcake is moist and rich, and the icing is delicious, smooth and creamy. I used the swiss-meringue buttercream for the icing, and it was a hit! :-)
Chili-walnut scrambled eggs with rucola
I was busy today with shopping and home chores, and needed something to snack on and get some energy kick. I managed to buy some chili peppers earlier today, and decided to make a savory scrambled eggs with a delicious, energetic spicy twist! :-) And oh my, that was both tasty and exciting!
Sushi-like rolls
Can you imagine, there was the time I didn't want to eat sushi, because of the raw fish?! Well, that's true, shame on me. Lots of shame. On me. Agreed...
Knowing that, I decided to make a recipe for sushi-like rolls, that look and taste close to sushi, but... are not raw! Nothing in this recipe is raw, and that also means that you can keep them safe longer at the room temperature, place in your bento, take for a picnic or just offer them as a healthy snack for people didn't discover yet the ingenuity of Japanese cuisine! ;-)
Tuna paste bento
Tuna paste is ridiculously easy to prepare and makes a great no cooking bento, cutting the preparation time to less than 20 minutes, including rice cooking time! Now, that's what I would call cooking on the go! You can also use the tuna paste for a great tasting onigiri or sushi.
Marinated beef and pasta bento
Bento is not only rice, but also other ingredients, like... pasta. This recipe came to life when I had some uncooked beef left-overs and just wondered what to do with them. Cooking them as a part of bento was a great idea!

Step into your power....right now!
Want me to read this post to you?
So, here's the thing...
Life, this existence is messy. Our experience isn't linear. There are peaks and troughs, highs and lows. Sometimes life is simply... well, shit.
But here's the truth...
You have so much power over your life.
Each of us has incredible power to co-create, even if we can't see it yet... or right now.
With each new breath you have the power to change things. You have the power to create new thoughts, new actions, new ways of being.
You have the power to choose a new way, a different way.
You can decide to make a different choice. In any given moment, you are one choice away from a completely different life.
You can choose to believe that you are made for more. Because, and here is the real truth, you are made for more.
More joy. Freedom. Abundance. Love.
You can choose to rise above the stories you tell yourself.
You can choose to listen, really listen, to your heart. To stop playing small and higind your light. To share your voice.
You can choose to heal yourself, knowing that in your healing, others will heal too.
You can choose to take a small step every day to co-create the life you dream of. You know that you can show up daily and stay rooted in your truth.
You can choose to tune out all thenoise and tune into your internal guidance system. It knows. Always.
You can choose to let it be easy.
I'm not saying it will be smooth sailing. There will be obstacles, curveballs, difficulties. But you can choose to rise above them. To accept them for what they are, and continue to co-create your vision anyway.
Your only purpose on this earth is to live out your truth. It's not about changing who you are or becoming something else... it's all about peeling back the layers and coming home to yourself.
Choose to come home to yourself.

If you're particularly interested in the arts or sports, or if you're a typepad and/or wordpress expert, please drop us a line (blogforstanford at gmail dot com). We'd love your help in supporting and guiding our blogging community.
Finally, we are moving to a new subdomain (location) on the Stanford Web. Our new address will be tusb.stanford.edu starting September 15, and all of our previous content will be coming with us. Along with our new address (update your bookmarks!) we are planning redesigns for parts of the blog. For example, check out our new logo at the top of this post! We will be making newer and better changes as we can, and we are considering a switch from Movable Type to Word Press.

Who funds you guys? Are you completely independent or do contributors receive compensation of some sort? If not, I bet the ASSU might be willing to fund you (although this might compromise your values if you're super committed to your "unofficial" status). Great idea, guys and keep up the good work!

Speed read: Wallis Simpson the style icon
Love affair: Andrea Riseborough as Wallis Simpson in Madonna's film, W.E
Tomorrow sees the release of W.E., the film by Madonna about Thirties' style icon Wallis Simpson.
Twice divorced before falling in love with Edward VIII, who gave up the throne to marry her — Wallis was avant garde with her sartorial choices.
Designer Roland Mouret says: 'Love or hate her, the world is still obsessed by that woman.' His new collection has a gold, silk maxi dress dedicated to the socialite, and the High Street has a legion of copycat Wallis pieces.
Never one to follow the crowd, Mrs
Simpson's mantra was: 'No matter what you look like, you can dress
better than anyone else.'
The number of costume changes Andrea Riseborough, who plays
Wallis, had to make in W.E. (including three wedding dresses).
Choose strongly tailored pieces, in flattering shapes that cling to the waist.
Don't be afraid of bold prints. Simpson modelled for Vogue in 1937 in a lobster-print Salvador Dali dress.
Cover up. Elegance speaks volumes. Long, tapered sleeves and pencil skirts are often more attractive than showy cropped or backless pieces.

Leamington boss Paul Holleran admitted the play-off final was not one for the purists but said he does not care, writes Paul Okey.
Hitchin's spoiling tactics meant Leamington were, according to Holleran, "so far of it", especially in the first half.
However, Rob Thompson-Brown's penalty and a stunning strike from Courtney Baker-Richardson meant it was home fans who were celebrating after 120 minutes.
"I had a text message from Craig Shakespeare on the morning of the game and he said the only thing that is important is the result," said Holleran.
"We got it, that's the main thing and all that matters."
Holleran maintains his side over-achieved just by qualifying for the play-offs but said they are determined to defy the odds again next year when they take their place, as expected, in the Conference North.
"We'll go and have a go, like we always do and we've learned lessons from last time.
"To be honest, we were punching above our weight in the Southern League Premier to reach the play-off final two years running.
"Hayes & Yeading spend more on football than we do and they got relegated.
"It will be a test of character and we'll need to keep unearthing rough diamonds.
"Look at Courtney Baker-Richardson. Eighteen months ago everyone said don't sign him. He'd had something like six clubs in 18 months.
"But we've knocked him into shape and he's a better person off the pitch and a better player for it. You only have to see what he did for us on Monday and what he's done for us over the season.
"And we've got to keep doing that."

Author: Brooks Craig | Published: 3-30-2009
Being the child of a sports minded father, I have been exposed to many types of races in my life. I have seen car races, horse races, dog races and many track and field events, but none of these races have meant much to me. It wasn't until I saw defeat on the face of a little girl, was I moved by a race.
By the time Jenny was eight, she had already been confined to a wheelchair for three years. Up until she was five years old she was able to get around with a walker or forearm crutches, of which she taught herself to use. Realizing that, I knew she had the determination in her to allow herself to succeed in life. That attitude would show up again, just when I thought it would be too late to make a difference, in what I thought was just another race. She like myself had a father who was very sports oriented, so when she wanted to compete in the Special Olympics it came as no surprise to anyone.
Her first race was against two other wheelchair athletes, which happen to be boys. The race started the way it would end, one little boy got a quick lead and would not let it go until he won. The following year, I stood at the finish line to watch the race and cheer on the athletes. This time around there was only two competitors, Jenny and Curtis (who had won the previous year). The race started the same way as last year's race, with Curtis taking a quick lead. As his race continued the race was getting close until I saw on Jenny's face the look I thought I would never see. The race finished the same as the year before, with Curtis getting another blue ribbon.
I went to Jenny and I told her that I knew why she had lost. She looked at me as if I wasn't saying a word to her. Then she replied, "Why, was it my chair?" It broke my heart to tell her, "No, baby girl, you quit. I saw the look on your face. You saw that you were not going to catch Curtis, so you just slowed down." The conversation after that shifted to everything except the race.
Almost an entire year past without any mention of the race. About one month before the next Special Olympic, Jenny came to me and asked if there was a way that I could help her train for the next race. So for the next few weeks we practiced as much as we could on her speed, up until race day.
This race felt different from the beginning, she asked me "What can I do to make myself faster?" I made some suggestion about her chair, but mostly I told her to not stop until you know the race is over, and if you're not sure I will tell you. The race started the same way as the previous two, but as Curtis jumped out to an early lead he veered into Jenny's lane and cut her off. She got a look on her face again but this was not the same one as the last race. She had a look as if you just took the last chicken nugget from her happy meal. She then swerved into Curtis' lane and just pumped her little arms as hard as she could and she did not stop until I grabbed the back of her chair. Of course I had to run to catch up to her she had already gone about 20 meters past the finish line just as the track began to turn, when I finally got her to stop. I look at her as she gave me an inquisitive look hoping that I would tell her that she had finally beat Curtis, but I didn't want to be the one to give her the news. I just told her that we needed to go and get her ribbon. As she wheeled up to the ribbon table I could barely see her through the tears as she was handed her first place blue ribbon. After she realize that she had done it, and the scowl on her little face transformed into the biggest smile I have ever seen.
The next race was won by at least 15 feet, to even the rivalry at two wins each. Then the fifth time they raced, Jenny kept her streak alive, she beat Curtis for the third strait time. After the race, I went over to Curtis, I leaned over and put my arm around him and talked to him. After I was done talking to him I walked over to Jenny and she asked me what I said to him. I replied to her, "I told him how to beat you the next time you race." She put her hands on her hips as she loudly exclaimed, "DAD, why did you do that?!" I looked back at her with half a grin and said, "Sweetheart, he had the same look on his face that you had on yours the last time he beat you." She just looked at me and said, "He better be ready.
His body was small, and was labeled as disabled even handicapped. All along we thought we were helping him through life. But only in his parting have we realized that he was helping us. Teaching us with his smile, laughter and joy for life. Looking into his eyes you only saw how life should be lived, not the pain we all feel our life is full of. Thank you for the lessons Curtis you will always be missed and loved.

Somewhere, off in the near distant stacks, the enormous weight of several thousand letters and words fell resoundingly to the floor. My head snapped up with vertebrae breaking quickness. As I looked at the puddle of drool on my open book, I knew instantly that quitting the crew team had been the right move. I groaned at the enormous cramp in my neck, and glanced around quickly to see if anyone had noticed that I had been sleeping. Aside from the clumsiness of the book re-stacker, everyone in a two-study carol radius was similarly sacked out on various laptops, sheets of paper and books.
I checked my watch, and decided that my pillow was more comfortable than the treatise that I was supposed to be reviewing. I repacked my bag, and began to trudge back to the dorm. I walked past the darkened campus buildings, through the underpass, and past the food court in mid-week study silence. Just as I could see the half-lit windows of my ugly dorm, a thunderbolt of noise erupted.
"You, sir, are ferociously ugly!" The voice roared with more than a hint of humor behind it. I stopped, and stared in utter stupefaction at the building. It was as loud as a public announcement system. "Yes, you! I said ferociously ugly! U-G-L-Y! And are you eating flies with that open mouth? Because…" Inexplicably, it paused to think up another snappy retort. "Hey baby! Can I get off on your digits?" The last line wasn't directed at me. It was addressed to the short, startled girl who had almost ran into me because I had blocked traffic on the path by stopping conveniently in the middle. And then it hit me. The similarity was too uncanny to be a coincidence.

Every organization has values. At CRE, our values relate to our purpose in clearing the path for truth, and are delineated as follows:
The current times are strikingly similar to those described in the book of Isaiah, referring to justice being thwarted because truth has stumbled in the public square. (Isaiah 59:14). There is a direct connection between truth and justice, for you cannot have one without the other. Presently, Christians are facing unparalleled legal and governmental burdens on their ability to convey truth in the public square, keeping justice at bay. At CRE, we are dedicated to protecting the fundamental, God-given right to share truth.

*This post is sponsored by Quaker Oats.
In the summer it gets so hot so early! I often forego the usual pancakes and waffles (who wants to cook in this weather?) and do these YUMMY pops instead!
You will need:
- Quaker Granola Medleys (find them in the cereal/bar aisle of your local grocery store). I LOVE Summer Berry for this treat!
- Your favorite yogurt (I used blueberry)
- Pop molds
Start by spooning in about 2 tbs of yogurt into your mold. Add 1 tbs of Quaker Granola Medleys. Continue this until the mold is full. When all molds are full tap the tray lightly on your counter to remove air bubbles and coat the granola. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
When you are ready for a frozen pop, take them out of the freezer and enjoy! If they are hard to remove simply run warm water over the mold.
I love that Quaker has so many great products out – the latest being Instant Steel Cut Oats! If you have never had steel cut oats you NEED to try them! I was so happy to see that they came in the instant and instant flavored varieties now since the conventional method can take a while. When I want oatmeal I want it now!
