Long before the world had "Hamilton," Chicago had the Q Brothers and their "ad-rap-tations" of classic plays. This week's holiday Showcase features the brothers GQ and JQ, along with Jackson Doran, Postell Pringle and DJ Super Nova, all currently starring in "A Q Brothers' Christmas Carol" at Chicago Shakespeare Theater.
In the video, GQ, JQ, Doran and Pringle choose never-before-seen holiday-themed words from a stocking and freestyle on the spot. They manage to rap about Fezziwig, Kwanzaa, Cratchit and a mix of other festive words in a performance that's as C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S as N-O-T-O-R-I-O-U-S.
"A Q Brothers' Christmas Carol" brings a hip-hop beat to the story of Scrooge and his erring ways with a Marley who's more Bob than Jacob, a Lil' Tim who always has his Big Daddy Kane by his side and a Ghost of Christmas Past who's more like Kurtis Blow than any ghost at the Goodman.
"A Q Brothers' Christmas Carol" runs through Jan. 3 at Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier.

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic services are used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) care for patients of all ages, with a variety of health conditions. DCs are especially well known for their expertise in caring for patients with back pain, neck pain and headaches...particularly with their highly skilled manipulations or chiropractic adjustments. They also care for patients with a wide range of injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, involving the muscles, ligaments and joints. These painful conditions often involve or impact the nervous system, which can cause referred pain and dysfunction distant to the region of injury.
Active Release Techniques (ART)
ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.
Rock Tape
RockTape is the world's best kinesiology tape. It can be used to treat sports and non-sports injuries, including shin splints, plantar fasciitis, runner's knee and back pain.
RockTape microscopically lifts the skin away from the muscle and fascia, which decompresses the area which reduces swelling. RockTape also signals the central nervous system through the skin's nerves, which provides powerful feedback to minimize pain and cue form.
Stretchier, stickier and stronger than the competition, RockTape is preferred by athletes and medical professionals throughout the world.

November 19th, 2017 - The Rev. Sarah Quinney
A Sermon on Matthew 25:14-30 - Read the Gospel here
What has God given to you? What has God given to me?
Personally, I have a lot. And if everything is of God and comes from God then God has given me a lot.
I live in America. Let me be more specific, I was born in America. I have a great education. I have always had plenty to eat and drink, never without shelter, rarely feared for my life. I have always had health care and the ability to take care of my illnesses and get the surgeries I have needed. I take vacations. I never worry about getting back into this country. I play musical instruments and own them. I can buy gifts for people. I can donate my money. I am not afraid of the police. I do not fear being out in public. I have a car that runs well. I've never been to jail or prison, even to visit. I have a wonderful family and amazing friends. If anything were to happen to cause me to lose my home, I have several family members and friends who can take me in and help support me until I got on my feet. If one day I were to lose my job in the church, I have another career I can go to. I was raised in the Episcopal Church and always had a wonderful community of faith supporting me. I have a Masters in Divinity. I am a priest and a preacher. I have a platform every week and for the most part people listen to me.
I have been given a lot. A lot of privilege. A lot of power. The ability to influence and be heard.
These are talents that I must not bury. God has given them to me to use. To use to help our human family be the human family.
If I hoard these talents and don't use them for God's purposes, I won't need God to throw me into a pit where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. I'll do that to myself. When our lives are not serving God, and serving the needs of our sisters and brothers, for me, I am living in this outer darkness and struggling to find the light.
This weekend, some of us, drove over to Stockton, to The University of the Pacific to hear some speakers. Our Presiding Bishop was there, the Bishop of San Joaquin was there and we all listened to people share the story of their life and the struggle and the heart ache and the fear.
Before we heard from them. The Bishop of San Joaquin, David Rice told us a story. He was driving to a meeting and he saw a homeless person on the street. He gave what loose change he had to this person. And felt strongly they were all one human family, this was his sister in Christ, but then a deeper connection struck him. No this isn't a sister. This was him. He is that person. We are all one human family. When I see you, I see me?
I could be that person. In an instant, I could be the person with 10 talents, with 5 or with one.
There is no difference between us. And if I can look in the eyes of the woman, pushing all of her possessions in a shopping cart down the street, dirty, cold, and hungry and see my own mother, I will do everything in my power, using all my talents God gave me to help that woman.
In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says, who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" 49 And pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."
This is no slight to his mother, but to point us to the truth, that God made us all one human family and we are to see one another as our mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. We are to care for all just as we care for our own mother, father, brother and sister.
Jesus left us to do the work. Jesus began the work, showed us how and taught us how to do it and now it is up to us to use our talents to make God's kingdom, the dream God has for the world the reality for our human family.
In our Baptismal Covenant, we make promises that with God's help we will be the hands and feet of Christ in our neighborhood, in our place of work, in our homes, in our town, in the store, at church, at school, with our family and our friends. We will be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving
your neighbor as yourself?
I will, with God's help.
Will you strive for justice and peace among all
people, and respect the dignity of every human
I will, with God's help.
Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, black, white, Latino, native American, Asian, bi racial, documented immigrant, undocumented immigrant, gay, straight, transgender, married, single, young, old, disabled, differently abled, neighbors who speak English, speak Spanish and any other language, Muslims, Jews, people with turbans or a hijab, obese and skinny, wealthy and poor, homeless, libertarians, democrats, republicans, independents, and respect the dignity of every human being?
I will with God's help.
I am not standing here to say that this is easy. It is supposed to be easy. But fear gets in the way. The good news is that with God's help we can do it! We can overcome our fears to learn to love every single person on this earth. Every mother, father, brother and sister God has created.
We must use the position we have, the influence we have to be the voice for those who are not listened to, not heard, yet. We must spread this gospel, this good news that we can be one human family united by God's love and grace to those who do not believe this world can be healed.
We must meet the needs of our neighbors seeing Christ is all people and work for their freedoms, livelihood, joy and peace.
What does that look like? It is creating a safe space for those in fear. When a young mother is afraid to go to a store for fear of being separated from her children and deported, it is opening the kitchen in our office, making a grocery store for her to go to without fear. It is giving those in fear of going hungry, not having a special meal for their family during holidays, fear of not having money for a single present, fear of being homeless again, fear of eviction, fear that their children will lose their status as citizens, fear of not knowing the language spoken around you. It is making a safe place for our sisters and brothers and mothers and fathers to be fed, nourished, loved, to play and learn.
After this service, we will pack 30 Thanksgiving Dinners that will nourish the bodies and spirits of nearly 200 of our family in our neighborhood. We are acting out God's will.
This week, next week and for years to come our doors will remain open, we are that safe space to be loved and fed. We've got more talents. Let us not bury them. Let us not hoard them for ourselves. I wonder, how else we can use what God has given us work for justice and peace, liberty and freedom for our whole human family in this neighborhood, in Lincoln, in California, in America and in the world.
We give and use what we have, no matter how little or how big and let God do the rest. It only took 5 loaves and 2 fish for Jesus to feed over 5,000. Think then of what He will do with what you have if you give it. Amen.

Locked Out, Uptown Suburbia, Anne's Bag, Ally's Bag
By Raine Lipscher
The meaning behind the bag drawings started as a sort of parody of my friends and what they would carry if they had their purses spilled out everywhere. I sort of stretched what would actually be in their bags, but I wanted to exaggerate their personalities. I was inspired by "Carry this book" by Abbi Jacobson.
The houses piece I drew was just me trying to get out of my comfort zone as an artist and draw things I felt I had never really paid much attention to. I think buildings and landscapes can be really beautiful, especially suburbia. I find suburban neighborhoods so unique, as each house carries a different person with a different story in it.
The last piece I drew was sort of a collage, and it was inspired by my favorite song from my favorite band -- "locked out" by daddy issues. I felt like I had a personal connection to the song, as I am also an angry teenage girl who will occasionally get treated poorly by men... I didn't really know where I was going with the drawing but I mainly wanted to capture the emotion and the images in my head that I felt while listening to the song.

Haven't had a lot of time to post lately, but it's not for lack of interest. Was discussing the Nnamdi signing with Unk today, and we got to thinking that if you selectively go back in time to late December when the Raiders had two games remaining, it's been a pretty good run. Won the two games, JaMarcus played very well, kept the coach who put it together, assembled a reasonable (experienced) staff, signed Chris Johnson, signed Shane Lechler, signed Nnamdi.
Not bad.
I'm rooting for Cable. Sure, it's in my own self interest given that Sundays will be miserable for me if he fails, but I found his enthusiasm for the Raiders at his press conference endearing. He's a lifetime Raider fan, which counts for something. And the fact that all our big free agents are returning (recognizing that money is involved here) means that guys want to play for him.
Obviously I'm thrilled with the signings. I'm not sure it's even worth discussing. Sure, a remarkable amount of money and cap space was spent, but for two guys considered the best at their positions (per All Pro selections), pay them. Mr. Mackey is discussing Nnamdi's signing on ESPN's NFL Live right now, and just watching the Nnamdi highlights has me fired up for next season.
Came across this interesting Schefter blog entry. I was wondering how long it would take for Porter to come back after stealing a bunch of Jacksonville's money. If he returns and the Raiders draft a WR early, we could end up with a record number of #2 / #3 WRs: Walker, Carter, Higgins, Schilens, Porter, and a developing rookie.
Fittingly, John Clayton is now discussing the inevitable release of Marvin Harrison.

Bad financial moves by the Raiders no doubt, but you just have love the loyalty that Davis continues to show his best players. Lechler and Asomugha may be Hall members when it is all said and done but with no rings.

a jort, a decent heel (not too high), a tee and a statement earring is my summer lewk.
new vintage cotton tee (so many colors) / floral earrings / contrast denim shorts (buying these for sure) / ankle cuff sandals
salut tee / pineapple earrings / perfect jean short langdon wash / peep toe ankle boots
i am pretty much comfortable wearing this formula to get coffee or to the grocery store as i am a night out with friends. it just works.
likewise noteworthy- i bought this shirt about a month or so ago and i love it. it's soft (like a good sheet), washes well (air dry it) and it works with just about everything. i've worn it with cut offs and high waisted skinny jeans (front tucked in) and with these pants all with great success.

Pacific Northwest startup and small business leaders met with Washington Senator Maria Cantwell on Sunday, May 6th, 2018, to throw their weight behind the upcoming congressional push to defend net neutrality. The controversial December 2017 decision in Congress' sights is the FCC's rollback of rules forbidding internet service providers from discriminating against content by way of throttling, blocking, or instituting "pay-to-play" policies. 50 senators have agreed to back legislation overturning the FCC's decision. They hope to employ what's called a "Congressional Review Act," which allows such overturns to happen; the first step in the process begins today, May 9th, when the Senators in favor will attempt to force a vote on the issue.
Invited to speak at Sunday's press conference alongside the Senator were Deja vu Security CEO Adam Cecchetti, DroneSeed CEO Grant Canary, Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman, and Techstars Seattle Managing Director Chris DeVore. Each spoke briefly on the importance of protecting net neutrality not only for their own companies, but also for all the future startups and small businesses that will rely on an open internet for growth and innovation.
Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman started the conference by conceding that Redfin is large enough that it could pay tolls internet service providers mandated for access – but that it was beside the point: When Redfin started, they relied on a free and open internet to make their innovation of map-based real estate a reality. Kelman warned that if the FCC's new rollback stands, the next innovators may never have the same chance they did. "[The internet] is one of the great innovations in America. We don't need to do much to protect it, but we need to do this."
DroneSeed provides drone-powered tree-planting and fertilization services, making reforestation scalable. CEO Grant Canary explained that for every 100 acres DroneSeed services, they require about 100 gigs of data. DroneSeed hopes to continue to grow, someday reaching millions of acres – but if there's a tollbooth to the data they need, it not only impacts their business, but also the potential growth of high-paying, clean-tech jobs in rural areas.
Techstars Seattle is an accelerator that provides funding and other resources to tech startups. Managing Director Chris DeVore works with Seattle startups and the community writ large to foster innovation and success in the Pacific Northwest, and as someone with his finger on the pulse of general economic development in the region, said, "Small firms – firms less than five years old – provide most of the new job growth in our economy," adding that the rollback of net neutrality is a "national policy that's impairing our entrepreneurial and economic dynamism nationally."
Next to speak was Deja vu Security CEO Adam Cecchetti. Deja is a cybersecurity firm that works with both local and international tech giants to secure their networks, products, and services. Cecchetti spoke both on the impacts of a lack of net neutrality on the future of cybersecurity, as well as on the future of technology in general, reminding us that a free and open internet is what enabled the biggest tech companies we have today to exist and build their companies. He also talked about how cybersecurity depends upon the ability to connect with anyone, anywhere, to collaborate on the protection of their goods and services. "Our story is a shared story. Our growth is a shared growth…Removal of net neutrality fundamentally erodes the premise of the internet, the ability to build, the ability to share and grow, and also prevents us from building a better America and a better future."
Washington Senator Maria Cantwell spoke last, calling on the public to contact their representatives and senators about next week's congressional push. Tech makes up approximately 13% of Washington state's GDP, and "Our internet economy needs innovation, and innovation is based on having an open internet…We want to make sure that the tech economy continues to grow." On the importance of net neutrality for cybersecurity, she added, "The threats of cybersecurity are so large…We need every tool possible and every company that is going to help us."
Net neutrality affects us all – consumers and businesses – and the future of technological innovation, economic growth, and security depend on maintaining a free and open internet. One important action you can take is contacting your individual House Representative or Senator; an easy, relatively automated way to do so is by using the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Democracy.io tool.

There's plenty of hurt in this world to go around. We have an opportunity to do something about it.
Foster Adoptive Care: Because Sometimes You Need a Mulligan as Much As They Do
Have you ever wished you could go back and do something over again? Maybe make some different decisions, shuffle priorities, or handle situations more appropriately? In some ways, foster and adoptive care gives the opportunity to apply what the Lord has taught you as you age. Perhaps with enough repetitions, we'll get it right one day.
3 Reasons It's 'OK' for Foster Care to Rip Out Your Soul
Beauty for Ashes
Just over a week ago a new foster placement came to our home. He is five. It feels weird to call a child a "placement," but that is the term. He is small and lovable. As I stated in last week's post, each new face brings to mind the heaviness of a world broken since that fateful act of disobedience in the garden. However, from time to time, out of the ashes of abuse and neglect we are privileged … no, blessed and humbled … to see a flower of life and redemption sprout where once there was only desolation.
Then There Were Seven
Expectations and Perspective
If there is one thing I have learned as a foster / adoptive parent it is that my perspective is often wrong, or at least different. By often I mean almost always, it seems. As we prepared to go on a short little vacation with our boys, we started noticing strange questions, packing sequences that didn't make sense, and other oddities. It didn't take long to realize that once again, our perspective was off. I'll explain what I mean by sharing some conversations we had before and during our vacation.
Adoption and the Lord's Supper
They Don't Even Know ...
I Once Had A Dream
A little over a year ago we started on the journey to adopt. How we got started was sort of unfair. You see, a couple of families in our church were fostering and Tammy and I had talked about adopting for years, so we were mildly interested. Rewind a few years ... I once had a dream. About 6 years ago, when I was new to our church, I had a group from the Faith Based side of DFPS come to the church. They had discovered, through a study mind you, that children placed with families of faith tended to do better in the long run. (Ya think?)
At any rate, we had the meeting, they came out … Tammy and I were the only ones that showed up. I once had a dream of our church getting on board and providing homes for children who didn't have them. I guess that wasn't going to happen. Fast forward a few years ….
These families in our church who were fostering needed help and I remembered this program. We were invited to an "Informational Meeting" for prospective foster / adoptive families in Tyler with one of these families and some other prospective ones. I was there to see what we, as a church, could do to support foster / adoptive families; build beds, collect diapers, you know, real missional type stuff. That's when it happened.
They. Showed. Us. Pictures. Game. Over.
Pictures of little faces that said to me, "I just want a family". I had always taken for granted that family was forever and for real. My dad's parents were married when he died. My mom's parents are still married and devoted to one another. My dad and mom are still together. We sat around the table and ate dinner at night, they went to my ballgames and supported me in whatever I did. I thought everyone was kind of like that to some degree. I was terribly wrong. Terribly.
These faces longed for what I had taken for granted. The lady doing the meeting asked questions and we talked, but by the end of it, I was asking, "how many can we have?". I felt anger, sadness, hurt and all of what goes with it. I have watched families in our church foster / adopt and foster again. We, ourselves are finally on the final stages of our first adoptive placement. All along this road we have heard things like, "I just couldn't do it", "You guys are awesome and amazing", or "It would scare me to death" or like the attached article, "I would get too attached".
I agree with the author of this article when he asserts you and I should stop praying about whether or not we should be involved in orphan care. He's right. Out of all the things that the Scriptures command and encourage us to do, taking care of orphans is one of the most explicit. To say, "I don't think God is calling me to orphan ministry" is like saying, "Yeah, that baptism thing, I just don't know, I am so afraid of water." Or, "I like widows and all, but I just don't think caring for them is my thing".
Another thing happened to us at that meeting … they showed us the statistics. I have updated some of them and shared them here.
According to Focus on the Family, census data from 2012 indicated that over 13,000 children were ready to be adopted. That was almost three years ago. As of August 2014, there are 16,307 kids in foster care … in the state of Texas alone. Yes, in our state. Alone. Over 16,000 kids. Not all of these 16,000 are ready for adoption, as some of them are in the process of being reconciled with their parents, but many are.
While I am not naïve enough to think that every home is a good fit for fostering or adopting, every home who claims to know, love and follow Jesus has a stake in participating in ministry to orphans. That might mean being a foster parent. It might mean being an adoptive parent. It might mean building bunk beds for foster families. It might mean paying to help other families become licensed. It might mean taking CPR, getting a TB test and being respite care for someone who is already fostering and desperately needs a weekend away with their wife. It might mean prayer, it might mean a million things, but one thing it does NOT mean is that you aren't called to it. In some way, some form, all of us are called to care about the future and well-being of the least of these among us.
Here is my challenge to you if you think God hasn't "called" you. I challenge you to:
1. Think Biblically about orphan ministry. You might be surprised what you find. (I will let you do the digging)
2. Watch the YouTube video ReMoved
3. Read two articles, here and here
4. Stop praying about it and get involved. Get involved somehow, someway but not someday. Do it now.
Also indicated in the Focus on the Family article, in 2012 there were 27,505 churches in the state of Texas. I did some independent research and found that this number has actually inccreased since then, best I can tell. You do the math. If every congregation in the state of Texas adopted 1 … ONE … child, the statistics drop to ZERO overnight. With room to spare. One. Child. Per. Church.
My intent is to raise awareness that Jesus has called us to something, something big and something special; something close to His heart. We cannot claim to be followers of Jesus and deny the very tenets of what He teaches.
Caring for orphans is:
- Biblical. Period.
- Needed
- Possible
- Part of what it means to be a disciple
- Gut wrenching
- Hard
- Worth every moment
- Rewarding above measure
- Pleasing to the Lord
We honestly can't wait to meet our hopeful new family member. We also can't wait to start fostering ourselves after he is settled. I once had a dream that I tried to make come true. God had other plans. I suppose He wanted to build that dream Himself.

Yes it's me, the Tito PDC, with another Phat Daily Column for this wonderful Friday. I love Fridays, as it's the only chance for me to sleep in during the week. For today's column, I will tell it like it is concerning the world of wrestling, Smackdown, and I have yet another Phat Video Game review lined up for you! Yes, that's right, two days in a row! Without anymore rambling, on to the PDC!
-Speaking of the lead pipe, did anybody notice how someone must have been at ringside to make those metalic sounds? It happened with the ring bell too, as the Rock was hitting the Dudley Boys with the back of the ring bell, and it was making a distinct bell sound. Hmmm.
-I guess maybe it's time for Tazz and Chris Jericho to tag up against Kurt Angle and Bob Backlund? Tazz? A tag partner? Eww, because Tazz always refused to tag up with anybody in ECW. Oh wait, this is the WWF, and he's not the top badass anymore! I think it's rather funny to have Bob Backlund attacking everyone who fights angle, and I wouldn't mind a Backlund vs. Tazz submission match. I'm still wondering why the WWF has Backlund siding with Kurt Angel..I mean Angle. Maybe he recognizes the 'American hero' in him, and that the fans didn't respect Angle just like they didn't for Backlund in 1995.
-I'm really loving any angle with Crash Holly right now. The Posse attacked him at a laundry mat! How funny is that? However, why was the WWF putting over Prince Albert in that Hardcore match? Why do they even think to put him over? Sure, he's a good performer, but does he draw heat? No. Does he draw cheers? NO! Why WWF why?
-Yet for all of tonight, no Wrestlemania matches have been named...well, besides Triple H and Big Show, which will definately change. It seems rather odd, because the WWF usually makes the matches way ahead of time, and drags feuds out for weeks until the Pay Per View. They aren't doing it this month, as wrestlers are just wrestling each other. After tonight, you aren't sure if Jericho is fighting Kurt Angle or not. Who are the Dudley Boys wrestling? Christian and Edge are having their problems, plus, they lost last week to X-Pac and Road Dogg. It's confusing, but with about 3 weeks to go, I guess they can build it up without losing viewer's interest.
-Since there isn't much WCW news floating around, I guess I'll just discuss the current Uncensored card, and just let it be known how the buyrate will do. First off, you have the Hogan vs. Flair match, which will be a decent one, but it's been badly hyped with Hogan's 80s promos. Hogan, however, will be at Nitro Monday, as I'm hoping that they give some kind of heat to the match. Then you have the match between Sid and Jeff Jarrett, as those two were in the last main event as well, and still couldn't draw a dime. Push someone else to be a main eventer please! Harris Brothers will be fighting the Mamalukes, which has been getting some heat, but nothing spectacular enough to buy a pay per view for. Harris Brothers will smash them anyway. Sting will fight Lex Luger in yet another poorly built up match. Sting needs to be at Nitro, as he will be Monday to hype this match up! Harlem Heat 2000 vs. Booker T and Billy Kidman. I swear, if Booker T and Kidman have to put anyone else over, I'll let WCW hear about it in this column. Terry Funk and Dustin Rhodes will fight in a match that has been build up with heat, and it could be alright. I think Dustin has overdone it on his interviews though to make this match a turn-off. Vampiro vs. Fit Finley is a match where Vampiro better smash Finley, and beat him cleanly. Brian Knobbs gets to fight 3 Count to regain his Hardcore title. It's an odd thing to cheer for 3 Count in a match.
Those are the matches, and you could be asking yourself, is it really worth buying this? Well, it's a much better lined up card than Superbrawl, but how could you get any worse than this. Besides the Vampiro match, Harlem Heat match, and the Hardcore match, this is probably the best card that WCW can put on. But where is Norman Smiley on this card? No where to be found on a WCW Pay Per View, yet he's so over with the fans.
They don't have any special intros to the game, as you are taken directly into the menu of the game. I must say that the menu is very annoying! It keeps having those pop up screens! Some of the options aren't too bad, as you can play a pay per view mode, and you have the wonderful create a wrestler. It's about like the ECW Hardcore revolution one, only with just a little bit less features. The matches are pretty good to choose from, like pin anywhere, no DQ, battle royal, and a few others. You can adjust other options, but nothing new or spectacular for options in this game. One feature that hurts this game is the long loading time! Argh, that drove me nuts! It's an N64 game for heaven's sakes, so why is there loading time? I found that ridiculous!
WCW tried to do entrances for their wrestlers, but not all of their wrestlers have their theme music. They just run down to the ring, but it is pretty cool how Mean Gene announces them coming in. The commentary on the game is very good, even though it's Tony Shiavone. Now for the gameplay. Overall, it's very easy to catch on to this game. The moves and grappling is simple and easy to do, and moves aren't countered like they are in the THQ games. In fact, the grappling is like the THQ games very much, but the moves from the grappling are performed very fast. However, the gameplay slows down when you walk through the ropes, and some of the action is a bit choppy at times.
One of the features that helped make this game noticeable was the backstage brawling feature. In fact, it was so good, that THQ had to one-up this feature for Smackdown. Anyway, it's pretty good, with weapons all around. This is probably the best feature of the game. A few other things to note before I'm done, like the character selection. From what I could see, there are a ton of hidden wrestlers! Also, you have a vast selection of WCW main eventers, midcarders, and jobbers to choose from. The graphics of this game are pretty good, as the wrestlers do look pretty lifelike..but a bit choppy too.
Last Word: Overall, this game isn't as bad as I thought it would be. If you are a hardcore WCW fan that wants the most current roster of WCW wrestlers, than this is your game. If you want stronger gameplay, then stick with WCW Revenge. Revenge is a very solid game and it just about matches the same wrestlers in Mayhem, with a few exceptions. I'll give WCW Mayhem for N64 a
Note from Tito: Many of you readers keep asking me where my "Smackdown" review is. Well, I don't have a Playstation. In fact, I'm not going to even bother to buy a Playstation now with that lovely Playstation 2 coming out, as video game companies will produce games for the Playstation 2, and not just the regular Playstation. Besides, I'd rather buy a system that can play DVD's along with video games! Therefore, the only way you'll see a review of any PSX games is if I play any of those games elsewhere.
@That's all for this Friday edition of the Phat Daily Column. Have a wonderful weekend, and I'll be back tomorrow to critique ECW on TNN, which is on at 8 pm Eastern Time on TNN. You better watch it now, because come September, ECW might be out of luck with the WWF possibly coming to TNN. Hopefully, the Pay Per View picture for ECW gets better on tonight's show.

HOVERCRAFT fanatics at a Wokingham school have set their sights on global domination as their team prepares for the world championships next month.
Bearwood College hovercraft team is the only team from Britain to qualify to compete in the prestigious bi-annual event in Berlin.
To raise funds for the trip, the competitors have been sponsored to walk 700 miles in relay — the same distance as from Wokingham to Berlin.
Keith Lovell, design technology teacher and organiser of the trip, said: "Bearwood College is one of only two schools in the UK that offers hovercrafting as an extra-curricular activity.
"We are so pleased that our team qualified and excited that we are attending this high profile world event.
"It is a fantastic opportunity for young hovercrafters to compete against young people from different countries.
"They will not only benefit from the experience of competing in such a high profile event, but also from the chance to forge new friendships with young people from all over the world."
The championships begin on Wednesday, September 1, and the college has entered two junior teams of four 12- to 14-year-olds, and two individuals at senior level (over-17s).
The four-day event will involve two days' timed trials and racing for three days on land and water.
But the championship itself is just the end result of months of training and fund-raising, with all nine team members completing 700 miles by marching round the 250 acres of school grounds.
Annalese Knudsen, a founder member of the hovercraft team, said: "We needed to raise funding for the event, so we came up with the idea of walking the distance it is to Berlin.
"Not only have we been walking the miles every lunchtime, we have done so while carrying a piece of hovercrafting equipment to make it more challenging for ourselves.
"It's great fun and it's really been a team effort, which is so important in this sport — I am so excited.
"We can now put all the skills we have learnt at school into practice at such a big competition."
Bearwood College in Bearwood Road has had a hovercrafting club for four years, and Mr Lovell, who is chairman of the club, is optimistic about the team's chances of success.
He said: "It's the first world championships we've been to, so realistically we hope to get placed.
"But anything can happen and with the reliability of our hovercraft we have a good chance.
"The hovercraft club offers our pupils the opportunity to develop many technical and life skills, as well as building their confidence.
"Their sense of achievement to be involved in this event is something they should all be very proud of."

One clinic in Algeria which is on the cutting edge of modern dentistry is the Dental Clinic of Dr. Benlatrache Ramzi and Dr. Benzerafa Djamila, a full service dental practice offering orthodontics, surgery, preventative dentistry, teeth whitening, and other services to the public. A fully equipped surgical theater is located on the premises with highly trained staff using the most advanced techniques in modern dentistry.
Dentistry has changed a lot in recent years. Advances in materials, x-ray techniques, pain management, and computer aided prosthetic design mean that people are keeping their teeth healthy and more attractive for longer periods of time. If you haven't been to the dentist for a while, you may be surprised at some of the changes which have taken place.
Advances in polymers have meant that the veneers used to cover teeth and the bonding materials used to fill or attach crowns is much better than it was just 15 years ago. Colors are customizable, and the repairs last much longer. Thinner veneers mean that more of the original tooth is left intact. Titanium implants are also much more common, borrowing techniques developed by bone surgeons. These implants are longer lasting and easier to install than earlier implants.
The old method for finding tooth decay was to take a sharp instrument and poke it around the teeth until it hung on a soft spot or a hole. This procedure could be uncomfortable, and it wasn't always effective in finding decay between teeth. Today, modern dentists use a laser light which detects decay with a much higher degree of sensitivity. Sometimes the problem is detected early enough that a filling is unnecessary. This saves money and discomfort for the patient, and results in a healthier mouth.
Just as digital cameras have made imaging of teeth for diagnosis more accurate, so too have computer based images for the design and manufacture of crowns, bridges, and other prosthetics. Here, a three dimensional image of the affected area can be taken and transferred directly to the machine which manufactures a highly accurate implant. Time in the laboratory is reduced considerably, and the expense of taking molds and creating temporary crowns can be eliminated.
Tooth whitening is much different than just a decade ago. Having white teeth is a confidence booster for most people, but whitening treatments used to be painful and risked damaging teeth because of the acid content of the applications used. Now, high pH gels along with light therapy allows dentists to whiten teeth without the side effects.
More and more adults are wearing braces, orthodontic plates, and other devices to get the smile they always wanted. These apparatuses are much less noticeable than years ago, and advanced manufacturing and imaging techniques mentioned above mean that the devices are more effective and do not have to be worn for as long.
Imaging technology has advanced rapidly in recent years. Cameras have become digitized, and exposure to x-rays has been reduced dramatically. The new imaging technology produces more accurate pictures, takes less time to develop, and can be sent directly to a computer where it is much easier to compare with earlier and subsequent images. This means that changes in oral health are detected earlier, intervention is less invasive and less expensive, and the risk of losing teeth is reduced.
Gum disease is a serious problem often overlooked by the general public. The presence of bacteria in spaces between the gums and teeth is a major cause of tooth and jawbone problems. Modern antibacterial agents, techniques for reducing the separation between gums and teeth, improved surgical techniques for addressing bone deterioration, and biochemical solutions like protein therapy to promote tissue growth have become important tools in the dentist's fight against gum disease and its side effects.
Because of the rapid advance of technique and technology, it can be a challenge for some dentists to keep up. The dentists who embrace change, however, have the ability to deliver services faster, more effectively and more economically. Customer satisfaction improves as a result.
Patients at the Cabinet de Sante Dentaire can take advantage of purely aesthetic treatments like veneers or whitening, have dentures made, often the same day, using modern computer aided techniques, or have surgery done on premises. Some of the high tech equipment found in the office are low exposure 3 D imaging, intraoral LED cameras, and on site laser guided milling for making dentures. The doctors, nurses and support staff undergo continuous and rigorous training to make sure they are alway up to date on the latest methods for providing quality dental care.
The office is located in the beautiful and ancient city of Constantine, founded more than two thousand years ago, and the third largest city in Algeria. It is often referred to as the "city of bridges" because of its location on a promontory and partially surrounded by the Rhumel River.
Visitors to Constantine can enjoy the sites of venerable city with impressive architecture, soaring landscapes carved into the ancient rocks, and the special satisfaction of seeing an unspoiled, culturally rich place that is off the beaten path. It is well worth the trip, and while there, one should not miss the Palace of Ahmed Bey, which has been converted into a museum, allowing everyone to enjoy the splendor of a palace which caused Guy de Maupassant to exclaim that it evoked visions of the tales of a thousand and one nights. It is one of the finest examples of Ottoman era buildings anywhere.
The palace boasts no less than 250 Greek inspired marble columns, ornately carved cedar and walnut doors, and early nineteenth century murals of the Ottoman fleets. Construction was overseen by the famous Genoan engineer Schiaffino. Extending more than 5600 metres with three floors, the interior space contains a spectacular pavilion with window all round, a harem with a marble fountain, judicial courts, and a total of 22 galleries decorated with 47,000 ceramic tiles.
Another spectacular building in the city is the Mosque of Emir Abdelkader, now part of Emir Abdelkader University, the oldest modern Muslim university in the country. Its twin spires rise 107 metres above the city and the building holds more than 10,000 faithful for Friday prayers.
Constantine contains a rich mix of the venerable and the modern and is a must see destination for anyone in Algeria. Whether you live or visit Constantine, there is a modern office of professionals also ready to serve your dental needs at the Cabinet de Sante Dentaire where a commitment to quality shows in superior customer service, the latest technology and techniques, and the highest degree of professionalism in everything they do.
Because of its commitment to continuous quality improvement, Cabinet de Sante Dentaire has been selected to receive the BID International Star Award for Quality for 2015 at the convention in Geneva.
BID is a private and independent organization founded in 1984, whose primary activity is business communication orientated towards quality, excellence and innovation in management. A leader in the broadcasting of Quality Culture, BID recognizes those companies and organizations which lead the most important activities in the business world, and is considered the founding organization in the broadcasting of the Culture of Quality, Excellence and Innovation in 179 countries.
The trophy symbolizes a pledge to the principles of Quality Culture. The QC100 Total Quality Management Model, together with the Quality Mix program, media coverage of the convention and its impact on the community and business sector, create an unmatched platform for continuous improvement within the organization and awareness of the achievements of the company at an international level.
Awards are given only to those who are committed to improving their Quality Culture based on the principles of the QC100 Total Quality Management Model. Candidates are proposed by the leaders of previously awarded companies who they consider worthy of the award. Especially meritorious candidates may also be nominated. The International BID Quality Award Selection Committee then chooses the winning companies who will receive the award in New York, Paris, Geneva, Frankfurt, Madrid and London.

From the point of view of an adventure novelist (or a movie director), the escape itself is "splendid," as the title of Chapter 40 suggests. From the point of view of the escapee, however, it could have been simpler, and certainly quieter.
Tom's anonymous note results in a gathering of neighboring farmers, all of them armed and anxious to face the thieves who they think are coming to steal Silas Phelps' property. Huck is frightened at the prospect of armed men trying to interfere with the escape. Tom is thrilled and wishes there were a lot more.
When they finally do pull the escape off, two factors work very much in their favor. First, it's so dark that the farmers are firing shots randomly. And second, the dogs entrusted with tracking the thieves are family dogs, and they just run right past the boys, looking for someone more exciting.
They evade the pursuers, reach the canoe Huck has hidden, and get to the island where he left the raft. It's only then that they realize that Tom has taken a bullet in the calf, a fact that pleases him mightily.
As he bandages his wound, Tom gives orders for carrying out the rest of the escape plan. Huck and Jim ignore him and consult privately, about what to do.
Then Jim announces that nothing-including his own freedom-is more important than getting medical treatment for Tom's wound. This would be a noble sentiment under any circumstances, but it's even more so when you consider how badly Tom has treated Jim for the past three weeks. Huck sees Jim's position for what it is. "He was white inside," he says. Remember, Huck's definition of blacks as property hasn't changed. He has barely given any thought to that larger social issue. What has changed in the course of the book is his attitude toward an individual black man, who has evolved in Huck's mind from a piece of property into an admirable human being.
Huck gets a doctor, but the man won't share the tiny canoe with him. So Huck ends up back at Aunt Sally's while the doctor goes to the island to treat Tom.
Most of the rest of the chapter consists of comical comments by women of the neighborhood on the odd things that were found in the cabin after Jim escaped. They're convinced that it was the work of a crazy person, and that it must have taken a houseful of slaves four weeks to get it all done.

I've been wanting to try this recipe for a long time but never did because I didn't have wasabi powder (to make the paste). Then I got the wasabi powder and forgot that I had this recipe. While making the week's meal plan, I remembered! So I decided to make it.
What a disappointment! It's not bad, but the marinade does very little to flavor the salmon, the wasabi sauce is not even noticeable and the dressing on the spinach doesn't really add much. I am sad to say we would not make it again.
Wasabi Salmon Sandwiches
Cooking Light
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup minced shallots
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger
1 Tbsp minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp wasabi paste
4 (6 oz) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick), skinned
Ginger-Garlic Mayonnaise:
2 Tbsp low-fat mayonnaise
2 Tbsp plain fat-free yogurt
1 tsp wasabi paste
3/4 tsp grated peeled fresh ginger
1/2 tsp rice vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
Remaining Ingredients:
1 Tbsp dark sesame oil
4 cups baby spinach leaves
8 (1 oz) slices ciabatta bread, toasted
1. To prepare fish, combine first 7 ingredients. Place 3/4 cup shallot mixture in a large zip-top plastic bag. Set remaining shallot mixture aside. Add fish to bag; seal and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes, turning once.
2.To prepare ginger-garlic mayonnaise combine mayonnaise and next 5 ingredients, through 1 garlic clove.
3. Preheat broiler.
4. remove fish from bag; discard shallot mixture in bag. Place fish on a broiler pan; broil 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
5. Combine the reserved shallot mixture and dark sesame oil in a large bowl. Add spinach, toss well.
6. Spread about 1 Tbsp ginger-garlic mayonnaise evenly over each of four bread slices; top each bread slice with one fillet. top each fillet with about 1 cup spinach mixture; top with remaining bread slices.
Yield: 4 servings

Using a PSM300 device with a PSM900 device and vice versaFAQ #4642
Question:Can I use a P3T transmitter with a P9R receiver? What about a P9T transmitter with a P3R receiver?
While PSM300 and PSM900 use similar companding and RF transmission schemes, we do not recommend using them in a "mixed" configuration where you are using a PSM300 transmitter with a PSM900 receiver or vice versa. This is not recommended for the following reasons:
1) The bands (i.e., tunable ranges) for PSM300 and PSM900 do not completely overlap giving the user very limited tuning range in many cases.
2) PSM300 works only on a group and channel map format and cannot be tuned manually by frequency. Also, the group and channel maps between PSM300 and PSM900 are different so finding a frequency in PSM300's group and channel map and matching that frequency with a valid PSM900 frequency may be difficult.
3) PSM300 and PSM900 both have scan-and-sync capabilities, but the sync protocols between each system is different so you cannot sync an intermix of these two systems making that key feature unavailable. This will complicate the process of scanning for open frequencies using the relevant receiver's group and channel scan features.

Five fab NYC stores
February 24, 2016 | New York, NY
Admittedly, my personal vintage clothing obsession peaked in early 2000.
But during the decade leading up to that, I scoured Pont de Vanves in Paris for silk slip dresses and authentic French camouflage; retraced as many of Kate Moss' steps as possible in London to find the perfect quilted burgundy velvet jacket; rifled through stacks of dead-stock gems at Screaming Mimi's in NYC; scored a black faux fur coat at a Harvard Square street fair that made all my Hasty Pudding Club gal-pals swoon; and plunked down $250 (on multiple occasions) for more clothing, bags and costume jewelry than I could carry at a modest, now-long-gone outpost in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.
I have purged my ever-expanding wardrobe of most of these once-beloved treasures, but this Aquascutum wool plaid cape is one of the few pieces that remains. As many of you know, I am definitely a cape girl, but there's something particularly timeless about this one, with its split personality – part genteel British schoolgirl, part wayward VOGUE fashion editor (only one of which applies to my personal history).
So why, then, a vintage post, besides wanting to celebrate my green plaid cape, procured at that tiny aforementioned shop in my Pennsylvania hometown?
Well, back in November, I was the editor of the debut issue of The Seen, a style-focused spin-off of The Village Voice, and one of our features was a guide to the five NYC vintage stores with something for everyone (written by Natasha Foo). And, since the demographic of that one-off issue is quite different from the Anchors & Sirens demographic, it seemed like the perfect gem to share with my like-minded, live-life-fabulously readers (you!), many of whom I know continue to rejoice in discovering those one-of-a-kind prizes.

DIY Summer Mimosa Bar
Mionetto invited me to partner with them to create a unique mimosa bar concept featuring their Prosecco.
It is FINALLY summer. To me that means outdoor dining season, beach days, and lots of entertaining and hanging out with friends. I couldn't think of a better way to kick off the season than with a fun summery mimosa bar with three unique flavors that everyone will love. In this post, I'll tell you how to recreate the scene so that you can make one for your friends too in your own unique style! It is easy as popping a bottle of bubbly, getting a little creative with your juice selection, and hitting up that dollar section at Target!
Pop the Prosecco
Let's be honest— we all know that the prosecco is the star of the show at any mimosa bar and choosing the right one is the most important part. To create this mimosa bar, I partnered with Mionetto Prosecco. Mionetto is a brand I already knew, loved, and frequently purchase on my own. The price point is perfect for when you want to go a bit above and beyond without breaking the bank, coming in at about $20 a bottle depending on where you shop—sometimes you can find even better deals! I really enjoy using Mionetto for my mimosa bars because of the flavor profile which is crisp and dry. Since the actual prosecco is so good, I usually end up using less juice and more bubbly than the typical mimosa recipe.
Pick Your Flavors
I really wanted to do something different from your average mimosa bar to celebrate the beginning of summer. I did a bit of research online, and ultimately came up with these three options:
Orange Pineapple: a twist on the classic
The combination of orange and pineapple is familiar enough for the people at your party who love the classic mimosa, but also adds a fun twist to keep it tropical. I poured your standard OJ into a larger glass carafe, and the pineapple juice into a smaller one to display.
To make a mimosa, fill a stemless wine glass half way with Mionetto Prosecco, about 1/4 with OJ, and a splash of pineapple. I also love to let guests play around with their ratios— we all have those friends who just like a splash of juice to go with their prosecco! (that friend is me.)
Raspberry Sorbet: over the top
This is probably my new favorite flavor because you get to basically have dessert AND drinks in one delicious glass. You can really do this with any flavor of sorbet— I loved the raspberry because it was just a bit tart and it turned out SO refreshing.
To make a mimosa: Put two small scoops of sorbet into a larger glass and pour prosecco until it almost covers them. Garnish with fresh fruit of your choice, like raspberries or oranges.
Grapefruit Rosemary: something sophisticated
As much as I love classic mimosas, sometimes they are just too sweet for me. Grapefruit juice is a classic alternative that cuts down some of the sweetness, and I wanted to jazz it up a bit by using fresh rosemary (straight from my very small plant on my deck that I somehow haven't killed yet!).
To make a mimosa: Fill a classic wine glass half way with prosecco, and add grapefruit juice to taste. Garnish with a spring of fresh rosemary. Enjoy!
Set the scene
I might be slightly addicted to the dollar section at Target… I have a dedicated drawer in our (pretty small) apartment for all of the little things I pick up each and every trip that just MIGHT come in handy one day.. colorful straws, cute themed banners, giant pineapple shaped balloons… you name it, I probably have it.
I love getting decorations here because it's cost effective, and I find I can use many of the things I buy for multiple different events and themes (ok maybe not the giant pineapple balloon, but you can't win them all).
For a DIY mimosa bar, I've found you can keep it pretty simple and have it still look perfectly instagrammable. These are my staples:
- Banner
- Fun paper straws
- Different sized carafes
- Cutting boards
- Ice bucket
I sometimes use a table cloth too, depending on what kind of look I'm going for and what table you've got to work with. For this summer mimosa bar, I chose a white one for a bright, clean feel.
To set up, start with placing your biggest items, like the ice bucket and other large decor you've selected (for me it was the pineapple). Once those are in place, you can start positioning around them and filling in the space with the smaller items, like fruit, straws, and other toppings. I placed the ingredients for each different type of mimosa on their own cutting board to create cute displays that highlighted each of the different flavors.
…and ENJOY!
Create a fun playlist, invite your friends over, and focus on spending some quality time with the people you love. It will make each glass of bubbles taste that much better.
Do you have a go to twist on the classic mimosa? Let me know in the comments!

The effect of movement kinematics on predicting the timing of observed actions
- 375 Downloads
- Citations
The ability to predict the actions of other agents is vital for joint action tasks. Recent theory suggests that action prediction relies on an emulator system that permits observers to use a model of their own movement kinematics to predict the actions of other agents. If this is the case, then people should be more accurate at generating predictions about actions that are similar to their own. We tested this hypothesis in two experiments in which participants were required to predict the occurrence and timing of particular critical points in an observed action. In Experiment 1, we employed a self/other prediction paradigm in which prediction accuracy for recordings of self-generated movements was compared with prediction accuracy for recordings of other-generated movements. As expected, prediction was more accurate for recordings of self-generated actions because in this case the movement kinematics of the observer and observed stimuli are maximally similar. In Experiment 1, people were able to produce actions at their own tempo and, therefore, the results might be explained in terms of self-similarity in action production tempo rather than in terms of movement kinematics. To control for this possibility in Experiment 2, we compared prediction accuracy for stimuli that were matched in tempo but differed only in terms of kinematics. The results showed that participants were more accurate when predicting actions with a human kinematic profile than tempo-matched stimuli that moved with non-human kinematics. Finally, in Experiment 3, we confirmed that the results of Experiment 2 cannot be explained by human-like stimuli containing a slowing down phase before the critical points. Taken together, these findings provide further support for the role of motor emulation in action prediction, and they suggest that the action prediction mechanism produces output that is available rapidly and available to drive action control suggesting that it can plausibly support joint action coordination.

Week of January 4th-7th
Welcome Back!
The students did a great job getting back into the swing of things this week. Our focus was snowmen! Luckily we finally have some snow on the ground. It definitely made recess more enjoyable this week! Remember, we have recess on Mondays and Wednesdays. Please send boots, snow pants, gloves, and a hat those days. They will have to stay on the blacktop if they do not have boots and snow pants.
Reminder: For those of you that are interested, 4k Make and Take will be next Thursday from 5:30-6:30pm in the Kewaskum Elementary School cafeteria, and also Friday from 9-10am. There are 5 students from our class currently signed up. Forms were due back Thursday.
I will be sending home a field trip form on Monday. We will be taking a filed trip to the Fond du lac Children's Museum on Thursday, February 4th. Money will be due on January 14th. Chaperones are welcome. Cost is $5 per student and $5 per chaperone.
I will be doing testing next week again (similar to PALS testing) but will only be testing the students on uppercase and lowercase letters, and letter sounds as part of my classroom goal.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Stahl

WASHINGTON (CNS) — Easter is a time to remember the joy that Jesus is alive and that his resurrection can inspire hope and love in the world, said Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
It is through the resurrection that people can be alive in Christ and respect and love others, he said in an Easter message released April 1.
"Jesus lives. This is the simple message of Easter. And because Jesus lives — so does hope, so does love, and so do we. Although Christ knew the pain of the cross and the isolation of the tomb, his death and resurrection gives us the joy of the resurrection and the gift of eternal life," Cardinal DiNardo said.
Noting that a large part of today's culture "tempts us to see one another as different, dividing us into ever more polarized camps," Cardinal DiNardo added that Jesus walked the Way of the Cross for all people.
"Everyone is in need of his love, and everyone is offered his love," he said.
Christ offers the "gift of life and joy. How we choose to live that life, however, is up to us," he said. "Do we always treat one another as sisters and brothers in the eyes of God? Can we look beyond the distractions and despair of our own suffering to the hope of the world to come? Jesus endured the pain and isolation to show us the path to life."
The cardinal also called on people to "acknowledge the gift of life Christ has given us" and to "look into the empty tomb and proclaim with joy, proclaim with all our hearts and with our lives — that Jesus lives!"
