Uncles of India are the most astonishing creatures for a child. Uncles, lots of them, 'Bagal Wale Uncle', 'Upar wale Uncle', 'Peeche Wale Uncle' etc.etc. Not only known by geographical location but also their professions gives distant names to them like, 'Pani wale Uncle', 'Bijli wale Uncle', 'Dukaan wale Uncle'. Here's some more, 'Tofee wale uncle', 'Khadush Uncle' and more and more.
My father has a transferable job so I was exposed to all these vivid variety of Uncles, every one was unique in his own way. When we were shifted to a place, Narnaul [ A little known town in Haryana ], I encountered my first typical uncle. Bald, AH! not being so rude, almost bald, 6 feet tall, bones scratching muscles to come out, equipped with two most notorious kids of the world and a 'Good for nothing' Pomeranian. He was my 'Makaanmalik Uncle'.
On the day of our arrival in his house, he took me to a 'Mithai Wala' and fed me with the world's most delicious dessert 'Ras malai'. I was a foodie since the day my tongue started recognizing the tastes so, that 'Ras Malai' was enough to invert my introvert attitude for my 'Makaanmalik Uncle'. In the colony of screaming small monsters, i was the most silent kid. My mother never allowed me to play with those kids simply because according to her, games of those 'roaring mini giants' were life galloping so 'Makaanmalik Uncle' was the only one i befriended. He was the one I played with, and watched India Vs. Pakistan cricket matches. (I must had watched other matches too but i didn't remember.)
Transferable job of my father lived up to its promise and this time it landed us in 'Delhi'. Big city with excessive pollution, sky high buildings and an unending construction work which keeps this city always under suffocating dirt blanket, became our new home. 'Screaming Monsters' were now got replaced with the bunch of highly sophisticated city kids (I am calling them 'sophisticated' because they might not even heard of few 'desi' games like 'Gulli Dandaa', 'Kho kho' and all, where almost every game used to end up with a brawl. For these poor, video game ridden, city kids, ramming dirt on road beneath their bicycles tires is most adventurous). My father pushed me in one of the finest schools of Delhi to which most of our colony kids belonged to. This didn't help me get any fast friend either.
This time another uncle who was friend of my father became my 'Saamne Wale Uncle'. (His house was just in front of us.)
Talking about city's education, it was alright. A brilliant student of English had turned into a mediocre one. I suffered most in computers. Notepad, Paint, Word pad, these all were no less than torture for me at school but not for those butter driven kids. Firmly holding a mouse and then frequently clicking on icons to launch what they actually asked to was not challenging for those techno freaks. In my town school, I was only taught to somehow open the computer and launch C-DOS to see date, time, calender etc etc. with all the mouse work was headache of teacher. Taming computer's mouse was seeming tougher than living mouse and then 'Bagal wale Uncle' came to my rescue.
One day when I was going home with my bicycle i stood in front of a computer center noticing bike of my 'Samne wale Uncle' parked in front of it. I had heard from my father that uncle owns a computer center near my school and i took no time in guessing that it is his. I parked my bicycle too and peeped into the building. I entered into a small compound through a black door. There were almost 7 to 8 computers, much less than computers in our giant school lab. A theory class was going on a separate room. I found my uncle sitting on a chair as feathery as our school principal has had. He called as soon as his eyes got me.
"So kid, wanna play games on computer?" he asked after my few minutes stay there.
So this torture thing (computer) has something good too, I thought and nodded in reply. (Remember, i was an introvert. So a confident yes didn't sound good to me.)
He switched on a computer and clicked on an icon. No notepad, fortunately it wasn't paint too. It was 'Roadrash', the most addicted bike racing game of that time. With a proper knowledge of controls that he gave me (except those one for kicking fellow bikers) i almost learned the basics. This was enough to ignite the fuel of addiction inside me for that very same game. I inquired in my colony about 'Roadrash' and almost every one already had this game installed on their PC's. Few had completed it too. I sneaked into the house of one of my almost friend 'Mridul' to play 'Roadrash'. He didn't allowed me to touch his new P.C. and himself demonstrated the way to play.
"See, I stood first" he announced.
"It's not you. He's Head Popper who came first" i replied
"It's my name, 'Gadhe'"
"Your name is Mridul"
"Head popper is the name i had given to me as player's name, so in the game i am Head popper" He finally elaborated.
I nodded and left.
Next day while coming from school i again noticed my 'Saamne Wale Uncle's' bike. Curiosity clicked. Again i parked my bicycle and ran to that small compound. This time almost all PC's were booked, just as in our school lab where students not even let a single P.C. respire. My uncle finally made my way to a neglected computer.
First thing i did was changing my playing name aka player's name to 'Street Rocker'. (I had been thinking over the name since Mridul told me how to do so). After almost an hour , I completed my first race. It had been late for home so i paddled my bicycle with all my effort but wasn't enough to fill the void of late.
'Where were you?' my mother asked.
Wasn't intended to tell a lie, I told her the reason. To my surprise she behaved normally, the reason might be my mingling with computer which i hatred of.
Now with passing days i became regular to my uncle's computer center and i almost perfected till level 3 of 'Roadrash'. 'Street Rocker' was ramming his fellow bikers with side kicks (Yes, I learned it too) and achieving the highest feat. Only thing which kept degrading was my uncle's response. Now, he had stopped coming to my seat asking me how's all going. He had stopped patting on my back too which he used to every time when i got a rank. Might be I was uselessly using a computer which should be given to a paying student coming for his computer course there. The feel of negligence forced me to stop going to his center.
I told all this to my mom. She felt bad for a kid which now wouldn't tell her the stories of 'Street Rocker's' success. She promised me to give a new computer as soon as possible. (It isn't easy for a middle class parents to give his child a gift worth half a lakh). For me, it was never easy to pass from the front of that "Roadrash" spot, neglecting it everyday while coming from school, where I was having my finest hour of day. 'Street Rocker' was no longer ramming the fellow bikers.

It would make sense for Terry Glenn to head to Miami and re-join Bill Parcells for a third time. Although Glenn says he has interest in Miami, he says it's not a "done deal" yet and that he is talking to "several" teams.
When he was cut, it wasn't ruled out that Glenn would be brought back. Whether it's a "done deal" with Miami or not, it now looks like there is virtually no chance Glenn will be back in Dallas.

You may recall that about 10 years ago, IPA launched a complex vitamin program to complement your patients' particular disease states. During the educational process to over 600 IPA members provided by many PhD nutritional experts, I discovered ImmuDyne and how its preventative impact affected me. I can highly recommend this product for all members, their families and their patients. Because of my experience, IPA has contracted with ImmuDyne at very special and affordable pricing. Your patients will surely appreciate your care when their resistance to seasonal illness improves."

June, 2008, Sandi DeMaster was ordained to the deaconate of the Roman Catholic Church under the auspices of Roman Catholic Women Priests. Shortly after her ordination to the deaconate, the United Methodist Church pastor in McMinnville, having read news of the ordination, offered "sanctuary" within their own facilities, McMinnville Cooperative Ministries. A small group of like-minded souls, identifying themselves as Lumen Christi, began to meet regularly for bi-weekly Eucharistic celebrations. Until Sandi was ordained to the priesthood, these first masses were facilitated in McMinnville by Toni Tortorilla, a Roman Catholic Woman Priest from Sophia Christi Catholic Community in Portland.

Insights into Imaging
, Volume 6, Issue 3, pp 295–307
First Online: 30 April 2015Received: 11 August 2014Revised: 23 December 2014Accepted: 13 January 2015
AbstractFibromuscular dysplasia FMD is an idiopathic, segmentary, non-inflammatory and non-atherosclerotic disease that can affect all layers of both small- and medium-calibre arteries. The prevalence of FMD is estimated between 4 and 6 % in the renal arteries and between 0.3 and 3 % in the cervico-encephalic arteries. FMD most frequently affects the renal, carotid and vertebral arteries, but it can theoretically affect any artery. Radiologists play an important role in the diagnosis of FMD, and good knowledge of FMD's signs will certainly help reduce the delay between the first symptoms and diagnosis. The common string-of-beads aspect is well known, but less common presentations also have to be considered. These less common imaging findings include vascular loops, fusiform vascular ectasia, arterial dissection, aneurysm and subarachnoid haemorrhage. These radiologic presentations should be known by radiologists in order to diagnose possible FMD, particularly when present in young females or when associated with personal or familial hypertension, to reduce the delay between the onset of the first symptom and the final diagnosis. The patients have to be referred to specialised FMD centres for dedicated management.
Teaching Points• Fibromuscular dysplasia is not a rare disease.
• Radiologists should recognise less common presentations to orient specific management.
• Vascular loops, fusiform vascular ectasia and a -string-of-beads- aspect are typical presentations.
• Arterial dissection, aneurysm and subarachnoid haemorrhage are less typical radiologic presentations.

Ever wonder what makes all the noise in @RogersArena? http://t.co/K0JOA53s7B
— Vancouver Canucks (@VanCanucks) August 21, 2013
@whitecapsfc – Well played, neighbour. We have those too… http://t.co/svFSahMMTx
— Vancouver Canucks (@VanCanucks) August 21, 2013
I have some thoughts on this uneven spot of Vancouver professional sports franchise #shapheat, and the awful timing of the exchange from a Canucks perspective. I'll share them with you after the jump.
On Wednesday the @VanCanucks twitter account shared a photo of the Rogers Arena sound system being installed for next season along with the harmless tagline "ever wonder what makes all the noise in Rogers Arena?" As you can see from the Tweets embedded at the start of this post, Vancouver's soccer team couldn't resist tweaking the Canucks' nose over the reputed sleepy, corporate atmosphere at Rogers Arena.
So the Whitecaps FC Twitter account owned the Canucks by contrasting Rogers Arena's sound system noise with the hollistic noise of boisterous, singing footy supporters. Y'know the type of fans that might cause a major controversy and be told to pipe down or even asked to leave if they showed up at Rogers Arena during a Canucks game…
This was a no-win exchange from the Canucks' perspective for a variety of reasons, and I find myself rather sympathetic.
Firstly, the fan culture surrounding soccer and hockey are distinct. You may prefer the fan culture that surrounds grass kick hockey (*) even if you're a massive hockey nerd, but the fact is: iced golf soccer's(*) North American fans just don't do the whole chanting and singing thing.
(*) Credit to Jon Bois for "iced golf soccer."
Now I'm a guy who loves to sing (evidence here) and if there were regulary Canucks songs that were sung by the Rogers Arena faithful during Canucks home games that would be awesome. Still, the way the Southsiders act when they attend a Whitecaps game and the way your average diehard Canucks fan acts when they attend a game has little relationship with the usual, simplistic "Canucks games are too filled with corporate stiffs showing up late and spending the whole time on their smart phones" complaints.
Fact is I've been in Rogers Arena when it was crazy loud, like during game five of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, and I've been in attendance when the Arena was embarrassingly quiet, like during regular season games against the Minnesota Wild.
I've grown up a hockey fan and I love the atmosphere at a playoff game where everyone sings the anthem and lives and dies with the on-ice outcome. I'm not nearly as big a soccer fan, but I've been to Whitecaps games and the boisterous atmosphere is cool but I'm not sure that it's necessarily better (not to my taste at least). It's just different…
Another reason this is a no-win exchange for the Canucks is that the Whitecaps can't really hold their jock as a business. But that doesn't mean the Canucks can just turn around and tweet "@whitecapsfc lol our franchise is valued at several times whats yours is, nice joke though" or "@whitecapsfc nice one, call us when you open the upper bowl for every match." If the Canucks gently mocked Whitecaps FC the way Whitecaps FC gently mocked them on Wednesday they'd be charactarized as big, bad, obnoxious bullies. Which isn't good for business when you're the unchallenged premium sports brand in the marketplace…
Finally the timing of the exchange really couldn't be worse for the Canucks as they're reportedly facing a situation where they may occupy BC Place for a game in early March to play for a good deal of fans dressed up like empty seats. Vancouver based ticket broker Kingsley Bailey told News1130 on Wednesday that the Canucks' declining fortunes, the oversaturation of outdoor hockey games this upcoming season and the inflated price point are combining to make tickets for the Vancouver hosted Heritage Classic a bit of a tough sell:
Bailey thinks you should wait to buy tickets because they are likely to drop in price.
"It's happened in the past where they have decided to drop tickets, they did it for the playoffs last year, where they dropped them 21 per cent. If they did that for the playoffs last year, I don't see it being a problem happening for the Heritage Classic," (Baily) explains.
Prices for the open-air game start at $93.00 for the first row seats. Those seats are field-level, where you won't be able to see much, with the rink at least 50 feet away.
So yeah, given the circumstances shrugging gracefully and tweeting footage of the playoff crowd at Rogers Arena was very probably the right play. Sure it's a vanilla response to a solid burn, but this was an inconvenient exchange for the Canucks and their social media team given its timing and high-profile. Sometimes there are no good options.

While on yet another stroll through the grimy gardens of the latter day internet, I discovered a derailed conversation that sung the praises of Atkins diets and decried the horror that is carbohydrate. To prove their postulations participants in this conversation pointed to "research" showing the undeniable evidence that carbohydrates are the ultimate enemy of the first world over eater. Yet amid this storm, it seems to me that a few simple facts got buried, yet again, beneath the agenda of decontextualised, corporate aligned research practices.
As a cultural studies graduate the mantra of: "but by whom and for whom is the question asked and indeed what is the question being asked to produce this new knowledge". It is no secret that the lion's share of American based nutritional and agricultural research is performed with and for massive corporations who take masses of biological matter and turn it into money with little regard for the environment or human health as it functions in a whole context. So when I read about carbohydrates turning to poison in our bodies and the very reason for diabetes and obesity, I reach for my revolver.
First, some historical context. Carbohydrates, whether in the form of grains, tubers or other forms such as plantains and simple sugars are the very substances which have allowed human beings as a species to put distance between themselves and the borderlands of survival and extinction. Almost every culture on earth has utilised carbohydrates to ensure survival and eventually flourish. There are exceptions, such as the Arctic Circle indigenous people who rely on animal products to the exclusion (impossibility) of carbohydrates, but their proximity to survival/extinction is clearly indicated by the fact they have and abundance of caloric intake yet some of the shortest life spans of human beings outside of sub-Saharan Africa. Carbohydrates have provided human beings with sources of storable, portable and versatile caloric and nutritional intakes.
The opposition to carbohydrates stems mainly from first world nations, particularly in the Anglosphere where overconsumption is not only rampant but encouraged. Agricultural subsidies and other economic policies have seen carbohydrates in three main forms (grain, other, converted to sugar) become devalued to such an extent that they are now seen as adjuncts to the diet and not staples. Indeed, meat rich diets of these nations are in fact merely another form of converted grain incurring massive waste and environmental destruction. It is my argument that if we were to scale back the consumption habits of the modern affluent countries and reconfigure eating habits so that they were more in line with "whole context" approaches, we would see at worst a reduction and at best an elimination of a wide variety of lifestyle related diseases.
Why is this? The food chain is as most aspects of contemporary society dominated by economic interest rather than human well being. Arbitrary guidelines are set and are adhered to only to the extent that they do not impact on profit. After all, do we really need to eat fresh tomatoes in winter in temperate and northern climates? Is it necessary for the survival of the Australian people to grow massive amounts of rice on the Murray River, an essentially dead irrigation trough? Is our desire for hamburgers so great that we need to feed a quantity of grain and protein to cattle so that we can buy the end product at a price that does not justify the inputs? Eating closer to home and with the natural rhythms of the land would certainly reduce the availability of certain foodstuffs. But again, would this be such a bad thing anyway? After all, look where overconsumption has got us.
Are grains toxic? This question and the research around it appears to be somewhat of a wild goose chase, another instance of people chasing the dollar to questions that are asked for purposes we as consumers cannot know. It is harder to address the actual causes of illness, individual and societal than it is to create new knowledges which become through repetition and frequency new common senses which result in an continuation of lifestyle related diseases.
I feel that if we were to take into account the broader considerations of contemporary society and begin addressing fundamental questions of overconsumption and overproduction we might start to find ways in which to address illness that do not require fad diets, special chemicals or gene therapy. Consciousness and moderation, while less profitable to certain merchants are the cornerstone of happy, satisfied living. So for the time being, diets and research created in the lands of overabundance, overconsumption and overproduction will not sway me, I'll stick with my bread sticks, bowl of rice and various tubers throughout the day. You do what you want but let us just stop the noise?
Postscript.After a little scratching around, I found the homepage of Michael Greger, MD, which is essentially an encyclopaedic rebuttal of the entire Atkins' mythology. Greger's work is substantiated by literally thousands of actual academic studies from a stunningly broad range of sources as well supported by virtually all mainstream American medical and dietary organisations including: the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Dietetic Association, and the American Medical Association. Greger goes to extraordinary lengths to rebut many popular myths which have become truth through repetition throughout the internet (especially the one about "not all calories being equal").

After a rain shower this morning, the sun broke out this afternoon, providing a beautiful day for moving the cows to another pasture. We gathered the help that was handy for the job, and we found that, as usual, you get what you pay for.
Scout: free, and worth every penny.
This was Riley's first time helping us, and he may be the first country kid to emerge from an experience moving cows without being hollered at by his parents.
This little helper didn't quite earn her pay today.
She fell asleep in her mama's arms on the ride home.
Her quote of the day: "I'm a cowgirl, Mama. I got boots."

How We Met: Adam and I met 3 years ago through our mutual friend, Angie! Angie was in my dietetic internship program at Saint Louis University and Angie's boyfriend was Adam's roommate at the time! Angie had told both Adam and I that she thought we would be a great match–but both of us were not sure how things would work since I was living in St. Louis and Adam was living in Pennsylvania! Adam eventually got my number from Angie and we started talking and immediately hit it off! As it turns out– although we were from two totally different states– we had so much in common. It was almost too good to be true how much we had in common and how many strange connections we had– one being that Adam's mom and I both went to Ole Miss and were in the same sorority! We talked every day for weeks and were ready to finally meet each other! We then realized that we would be in the same place at the same time a few months later– because I had a family vacation booked to Florida during my Spring break, and Adam was going to be living not far from where I was going to be vacationing, in Florida for his Spring Training. We were so excited and counting down the days until my vacation! Fast forward a few months later to when Adam and I finally got to meet in person! He picked me up on the first night of my vacation at the hotel that I was staying at with my family! We spent the night hanging out with some of Adams friends and had an absolute blast together! The next night, Adam took me on our very first date to a nice restaurant!! After that, we were pretty much inseparable for the rest of the week/ my vacation!! We have been together ever since! 🙂 My family still jokes with me about how they rarely saw me on that "family" vacation! 🙂
Our proposal: Adam proposed on my 24th birthday–and I was TOTALLY surprised! I was visiting Adam in Florida at the time (the same part of Florida where we met for the first time a few years back)! Adam told me not to worry about making any birthday plans– he had already made dinner reservations for my birthday at the same restaurant in Florida where we went on our first date! On my birthday, Adam took me to get a manicure and pedicure (one of my favorite relaxing things to do) and then we went to dinner afterwards! We had plans to go walk on the beach after dinner, but it was pouring down rain outside! I kept telling Adam that it was no big deal and that we could walk on the beach on the following day instead, but he insisted that the weather would clear up and that we would still be able to walk on the beach after dinner! Sure enough, the rain cleared up after dinner as we were driving to the beach. We parked at the hotel where I stayed when I was vacationing with my family the first time we met, got out of his truck, and held hands as we walked on this beautiful boardwalk out onto the beach. Adam had told me he wanted to take me to this particular spot on the beach because it was one of his favorite fishing spots and he wanted me to see it! The ocean view was absolutely breathtaking and there was hardly a soul on the beach since it had just been raining. Not long after we got out onto the beach, Adam turned to me and grabbed my other hand (so we were facing each other). I definitely had a "GULP" moment–I was not sure what was going on!!! Adam then started to tell me how much he has loved me since the day we first met and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me! He got down on one knee, slid a ring on my finger and asked me to marry him!! of course, I said YES and he picked me up and twirled me around! We then walked around on the beach for a little while– smiling and laughing about how he had managed to surprise me! We were SO excited– I just couldn't wait to tell our parents the news!!! As we walked back to Adam's truck, Adam suggested that we go inside the hotel I stayed at on my family vacation when we met for the first time, to have a celebratory drink and call our parents!! As we walked inside the hotel, Adam then informed me that he invited some of our friends to celebrate! I looked to my right and both sets of our parents were standing there, yelling CONGRATULATIONS! I was SO surprised and excited to see them there!!! Not only had our parents been in Florida without me having any clue, but Adams dad had been camouflaged in the palm trees on the beach, filming our entire engagement! I had no idea!! Adam and I celebrated with our parents for the rest of the evening– drinking champagne and dancing to live music. It was truly one of the best days of my life!
Planning Our Wedding: Planning our wedding together was an absolute blast! After setting a date, we decided to get married at Saint Louis University's church, St. Francis Xavier College Church. Adam and I thought it was the perfect church for us! Not too big, not too small, and absolutely stunning. After checking out many reception venues, we decided to have our reception at the Saint Louis Club! It was the perfect fit for what we were looking for– traditional, spacious and beautiful. Wedding planning was definitely challenging at times– especially since we were in a long distance relationship throughout our entire engagement! But we always managed to reach a solution together. Thankfully my sister had gotten married a few years back, so my family was all too familiar with the wedding planning process! 🙂
Our Wedding Day: Our wedding day was truly a fairytale for Adam and I! Neither of us could hardly sleep the night before our big day! With our wedding being in December, we were worried about the weather–but boy did we ever luck out! The weather was gorgeous on our wedding day–there was not a cloud in the sky and the sunset was absolutely breathtaking! Our wedding day was a blast from the minute we woke up! The morning of our wedding day, my bridesmaids and mother of the bride and groom came to my suite at the Ritz and we had our hair and makeup done, in our cute little matching robes! My mom zipped up my dress and we headed to the church around 1:30 PM (the ceremony started at 2:00 PM)! Adam got ready with his groomsmen and father of the bride and groom, and headed to the church about 30 minutes before I did (we did not want to see each other before the ceremony)! One of the best parts of our wedding day was the ceremony! Our faith is a huge part of our marriage–and nothing made us happier than being able to be surrounded by our family and friends in the Lord's presence. After the ceremony, our wedding party headed with us to Forest Park and Washington University to take pictures. We love the architecture at Washington University and the beautiful landscaping in the background of our pictures at Forest Park. While we were taking pictures, our guests were at our reception venue at the Saint Louis Club, having hor d'oeuvres and cocktails! After we were finished taking pictures, the wedding party headed to the Saint Louis Club for our reception! Adam and I got to take a peek at the Ballroom before anyone had seen it yet, and it was absolutely breathtaking! Our vendors did such an amazing job putting our dreams into a reality! The band announced the wedding party into the ballroom, Adam and I cut the cake, and we sat down and ate dinner! We listened to the best man and matron of honor speeches, had our first dance, dance with the mother of the bride, dance with the father of the bride, and danced the night away to live music with our family and friends! We had the time of our lives!
The ambiance of the wedding reception was romantic and traditional! We chose to use soft blushes and creams in our flowers and traditional gold candlesticks and candles at each table. We used large cream colored chargers as a base plate, with clear, glass gold-beaded chargers as a salad plate. Our linens were light gold and had a beautiful damask pattern! We used a traditional font for our monogram on our menu cards and on our table number cards! There were beautiful Christmas trees and decorations throughout the entire venue–including cute little gingerbread houses and train tracks running throughout. Our reception was the entire 16th floor of a building, and each room on the floor was decorated entirely different. We loved that our guests could move about during the reception, and that they were not just limited to staying in the ballroom. We had Italian cookies at each table, representing my Italian heritage and a tradition that we started at my sister's wedding!
At the end of our wedding day, we were relieved and exhausted from all of the planning and fun we had had with our family and friends!!! We felt overwhelmed with love and felt very thankful for all of our loved ones who came to celebrate our big day with us!

Liam Cooper bemoaned Leeds United's misfortune but focused on a "performance to build on" after a post denied him an injury-time equaliser in yesterday's FA Cup defeat at Sunderland.
Cooper claimed United's display at the Stadium of Light would act as a badly-needed shot in the arm, despite the club's FA Cup campaign ending in a 1-0 loss.
A deadly Patrick van Aanholt finish midway through the first half saw Gus Poyet's side safely into the fourth round but the Premier League outfit pushed their luck after half-time, surviving a strong penalty appeal and a last-gasp chance which fell to Cooper.
United's stand-in captain looked set to force a replay at the very end of a competitive tie but his glancing header came back off Sunderland goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon's right-hand post.
A disappointed Cooper said he thought the "header was in" but the centre-back – a replacement as skipper for the injured Stephen Warnock – drew encouragement from United's display ahead of a crucial spell of league fixtures.
Leeds are in the thick of a relegation battle in the Championship and head coach Neil Redfearn made seven changes to his team for yesterday's FA Cup tie.
Cooper said: "Sunderland are a great team and they were always going to have most of the possession but especially in the second half I thought we took the game to them and created a few chances. They didn't go in but hopefully we can take a lot from this into our next league game which is very important. It was a good performance to build on. It'll certainly put us on track. We gave a good account of ourselves."
Cooper's chance arrived during four minutes of stoppage time, created by a hanging cross from Luke Murphy. Van Aanholt's earlier goal had found the net with the help of Leeds goalkeeper Marco Silvestri's far post.
"I thought my header was in, although it was always going away from the goal," Cooper said.
"It's just one of those things: their goal hit the post and went in, ours hit the post and came out. But I'm a big believer in earning your own luck in this game."
Redfearn, meanwhile, disputed referee Mike Dean's decision to award a free-kick for a foul by Sebastian Larsson on United's left-back Charlie Taylor early in the second half.
United's players appealed en masse for a penalty but Dean ruled that the tackle had been made just outside Sunderland's box. The decision and a save by Pantilimon from Adryan helped Poyet's side, who had dominated the first half, to ride a concerted period of pressure.
"It looked like a penalty to me but the referee's made his decision," Redfearn said. "You've got to abide by it but that came on the back of quite a weight of pressure from us. A goal at that time to make it 1-1 – I think we'd have gone on and won.
"We hit the post, we had Adryan's chance and the penalty appeal as well. We could have had more than one goal."
The changes to Redfearn's line-up led to a change of formation at the Stadium of Light, with United's boss adopting a 4-2-3-1 system after persisting with a midfield diamond throughout December.
"We changed the shape around and the lads who came in have done themselves no harm at all," Redfearn said. "I thought the shape looked a lot better. We defended with more width and we attacked with more width.
"But we've had no luck and none in the league. A couple of our performances recently were poor but in general they've been good.
"We've been performing well, we've had no luck and we've been on the wrong side of some results. The more you get the performance right, the more you get results right. The times when we've had results – and I'm the only person who's got results at Leeds this season – is when the performances have been right too. In the second half I thought we were the better team.
"We were unlucky."

Michael Malenitza was called up to the microphone on the outside terrace adjacent to the Santa Ana Country Club Golf Course this week.
A field of 120 golfers and another 120 guests gathered at gingham-covered tables at dusk Monday enjoying a dinner of barbecue chicken and ribs after a full day on the greens to support the fourth annual Eric Pepys Memorial Golf Tournament.
"My siblings and I were taken from our parents because of their drug abuse", Malenitza said. "I was 6 years old. We were separated and assigned to different foster homes. Sometime later we were returned to our parents and about a year after that, both our mother and father died of a drug overdose."
Malenitza shared the details of a life in foster care with the audience who had come to raise vital funding for scholarships supporting former foster youth seeking advanced study degrees.
The tournament is aligned with the work of the Orangewood Children's Foundation, a local nonprofit founded in 1981 to provide innovative services for abused and neglected children with a special focus on educational assistance and support for youth transitioning out of foster care into adulthood.

✨ Recommended destinations
This is an algorithmic recommendation based on @hakimelekk's trips history to find places people they haven't been to yet that other people with similar travels as them also went.
One of the most well known cities, few will be surprised by what they see and experience. Very high cost of living can make it tough for many nomads. A lot of things to see and do but most of that costs money. Can feel overwhelming and oppressively business oriented (ie, full of very serious yuppies and places catering to them), especially in Manhattan south of Harlem. Ton of single people, which is good on paper but means everyone you date will get distracted by another person, or multiple, unless you are extremely exceptional, before you have a chance to meet again, never ends. Weather sucks hard from July to August and January to March/April. It's an okay city if you're a biker and varies a lot. Some areas are quite protected, others have no bike lanes. In general, it can be dangerous if you want to commute by bike, it's not Amsterdam. Friendliness of the people varies a lot. I think income/wealth, where they grew up, where they live within NYC, their job, etc. can often give you an idea of what to expect. Service at stores is usually pretty unhelpful and unfriendly but, again, it varies, even within the same store. Internet is fast for the most part. Great selection of food, just a bit pricey besides some of the cheaper pizza slices. Transportation system is good, no need for a car. However, the subway lines are notorious for having issues during rush hour and are usually jam packed. Also, the stations look decrepit and are way out of date. It's pretty safe. Street scams are more prevalent in tourist areas, pick-pocketing and random phone snatching isn't really anything most people worry about. Can be very noisy depending on where you live. You may wake up to extremely loud construction every morning.

I saved the perfect pair of flare jeans from highschool. Even after gaining that freshmen 15...er 25...i stored them deep in my closet knowing that one day i would love them again. Sure enough, last summer i pulled them out (they fit!!!) and while i wasn't quite ready to re-embrace the flared bottom trend, i again put them to rest in my closet. During my most recent closet purge i mindlessly threw them in the "give-away" pile. In the meantime, I cannot tell you how many times i have cursed myself for doing so. So. here i am. on the hunt for a perfect pair of flared/bell bottomed jean.
A couple of options:
the dojo by seven
the ginger by seven

Have this as a short discussion point for beginning of the day. Explore how to work through anxiety, sadness, over-excitedness through modeling these thought processes
▪ Large world map poster
▪ Pernelle Ripp's blog – parents handout forms
Week 1:
▪ Create class prayer cloth

At the end of saying it they could either spin or jump etc into the future. At end of year repeat activity and they start video by jumping/spinning in and can update on how things are at end of year.
▪ How we welcome visitors/guests
▪ Appropriate classroom and school manners
▪ Appropriate technology use
▪ Inclusion (sometimes we must work in a group of three so that no one is excluded) we don't leave classmates out. What does inclusion look like? Show pictures/videos/stories. What do we do if we feel left out? Make role-plays and have students film them. These could be put on blog as examples of inclusive behaviour.
▪ How do we respond when things go wrong (eg PE is cancelled or we can't have free time today or we miss out on something fun?) we don't groan/whinge. We take some quiet deep breaths if we need, and move on. Maybe do another role-play group on this, which is filmed and put onto blog for how we respond when things go wrong.
▪ Discuss 'Chill out zone' – sometimes we need some time to relax, chill out, and keep calm. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 1 student is given 'keys' to the chill out zone and can use it for 10mins block during the day when the teacher nominates that it is open. No talking. You can read, write, draw, listen to music with headphones. These two ch'n are also responsible for keeping their chill out zone tidy.
▪ What does a tidy room look like? Explore pictures and words of a clean/tidy room. How do we clean up? (Begin at our area – desk, floor, then expand out.)
▪ The back 5 pages of each child's literacy book are for new words they have learnt to spell – have ch'n rule these pages up. (if they don't know how to spell a word they take a 'have-a-go' sheet from the box. Three attempts, circle the one they think is their best try, quietly ask a 'good speller' friend if they are correct, if the friend doesn't know then place the 'have-a-go' sheet in the 'have-a-go' tray. These are checked/corrected by the teacher at the end of day and are the child's responsibility to collect the following day. Once the ch'n have the correct spelling, they add it to the back of their literacy book and add it to the 'new words we can spell' poster.
▪ BENCH -(*B*e still, remember that *E*verybody makes poor choices sometimes, *N*ow take one minute or so to think about why you are on the bench, *C*ould you have made a better choice so that you didn't have to remove yourself from the class? *H*ave 10 slow, quiet but deep breaths in and out- this helps you feel better and to calm yourself. Your teacher will let you know when you can join the class again) if you have made a poor behaviour choice in class time you will first be given a verbal warning. If behavior continues you may be asked to remove yourself from the group and sit on the BENCH facing away from the class until the teacher thinks you are ready to join the class again. Absolutely no talking or distracting others. This is time to reflect on your behaviour choice and think of a better choice you could make next time. (Bench could be masking tape square on floor). Once teacher instructs that you are to rejoin the class, you must first quickly fill out a red warning card. These red cards are in a special tub and say 'name' 'date' and 'reason for warning.' Completed red warning cards are to be put in the warning folder. Any red cards will be discussed with the teacher at a separate time (miss out on some lunch time to discuss).
▪ We are in a 'No Whinging Workspace' (e.g – I can't draw, moaning when we are doing maths etc, if someone contributes to discussion and we put them down).
▪ Discuss breathing techniques. Have students jog on spot to get warm rate up. Discuss how they feel. Now, 10 slow, deep but quiet breaths in an out. How do they now feel? Power of breathing.
▪ morning routine (sign in, set up table, do morning job, riddle, role, class prayer)
▪ being late – sometimes it happens. When it does, this is what we do [protocol], if class prayer is on we wait at certain table until teacher invites us to join group
▪ assign class jobs (technology assistants, class tub, etc.)
▪ Explain the 'today Mr. Collins is feeling…..' board. Have this as a short discussion point for beginning of the day. Explore how to work through anxiety, sadness, over-excitedness through modeling these emotions and thought processes
▪ Explain to class that we begin the year with 5 classroom protocols (if, then): create role plays based on each one. Cover a new protocol each day and make role plays. As year progresses, protocols may need to be adjusted or more protocols may need to be added :
[if you are late then enter classroom quietly, take a late pass from the tub and fill it out, place it into folder, sign in on the name board, hand in any special notes to the teacher quietly, join the class.]
[if you are unsure how to spell a word then collect a 'have-a-go' sheet (3xtries), ask a friend if any attempts are correct, they might not know so then place it in the 'have-a-go' tray which is checked/corrected at the end of each day. You are responsible for collecting the sheet the next morning. You can only hand in one sheet a day so choose the word you want to learn carefully.]
[if you need to go to the toilet, then before you ask the teacher – did you take the time to go at recess or lunch? Is it urgent? If so, you may quietly ask the teacher "may I please go to the toilet?" You must go with your buddy, signing out on the name board before you leave. You must sign back in when you return.]
[if you are feeling an EXTREME emotion (extreme anger, over-excited, very sad, very nervous, very scared, alone, other) you may need a little break – you or your teacher may decide that you need to move to the 'calm corner' for 3 minutes. Then go to the special tub to collect a blue card. Place this blue card next to your name on the name board to show that you have chosen to take some time out to calm yourself. Here you can put on your headphones and listen to two short guided meditations or meditate in silence with the ear-muffs on for three minutes (downloaded onto CD from http://www.just-a-minute.org/resource_centre/). No one is allowed to interrupt you during this time other than your teacher. Once your time is finished, pack up, record your details in the 'calm corner' book, put the blue card back in the special tub, and re-join the class quietly. Your teacher will speak with you about your time in the 'calm corner' at another time. **If you have visited the 'calm corner' more than once every two weeks, your teacher might need to chat with you and the principal to discuss how we can manage these recurring EXTREME emotions together.]
[If you have finished your work early then flip the hexagon on your table over so that it shows orange. Answer these questions in your head before asking your teacher what to do – have you proofread your work to make it the best it can be? Can you complete a 'have-a-go' sheet for a word you aren't sure how to spell? If you are doing maths – have you double-checked your answers. Is there any other work you haven't finished yet which you could go on with? Is the table and floor around you spotlessly clean? If you have answered all these questions and have completed each one, only then is it OK to ask your teacher what you can do. If your teacher finds that you have not checked through each of these questions then you may need to fill out a warning card.]

Syar: One in a Thousand - All Done
Underestimated? Yes. Undervalued? No. I had a lot of fun with this, hope you do too.
At 8:36PM EDT on August 18, 2005 the stat counter keeping tabs on the virtual ephemera of Radioactive Jam recorded visitor number 1000. Congratulations and thanks go to... Syar!
Since Radioactive Jam t-shirts are still dematerialized I decided to give Syar a different kind of prize.¹ Enjoy!
¹ Same for nos. 5000 and 10000? I think not.
1000 words dedicated to Syar
"This was supposed to be... an ordinary... day," Syar said, trying to catch her breath. Her mute companion briefly looked up but offered no reply.
Not the
No answer. "Right," she said. "Just another test." She lowered her eyes and slowly turned to view the snow and ice surrounding her, an unbroken expanse of near-featureless white stretching to the horizon in all directions. The scene held a terrifying beauty. With a conscious effort she pushed aside fear and resentment, and silently reaffirmed her will to survive. The sight of footprints on the snow brought a pang of guilt, and reminded her she wasn't the only one battling the elements in this frigid place. As the wind resumed its pitiless assault, Syar turned away from the stinging cloud of ice crystals and joined her silent friend near the mysterious pole.
"Any guesses, Nadia?" Syar asked. "Have you seen one of these before?" Again the penguin looked at Syar for a moment, but offered no reply. Syar smiled. Despite the relentless wind driving through her skin, that ephemeral vampire piercing her, feeding, stealing warmth and leaving ice, Syar knew her dear friend would keep her safe and lead her home.
Something seemed wrong, though. She felt the thought begin to take form, but lost it. Syar began to shiver. Trembling, teeth chattering, she tried to focus on the strange totem-like object standing before her.
An hour ago when she'd first seen the pole, she hardly noticed the cold; the wind's touch had been a silken caress. She had moved close to the pole, and had reached out to touch it when she noticed the penguin standing just beyond the pole. She took a step backward in surprise; where had the bird come from? Had it been standing behind the pole? No. Syar was sure she'd walked around the pole at least once; there was no way she'd have missed seeing the creature. She was working on this curious puzzle when she heard Nadia call her name.
"Syar?" Nadia said. "I'm here. Oh Syar, listen--"
"Nadia?" Syar shouted and whirled about, looking for her friend. "Where are you? Nadia!" Desperate and elated, Syar zig-zagged in short, frantic bursts, but soon slowed to a halt. "Where are you? Why can't I see you?"
"I'm not leaving you, Syar," said Nadia. Syar's hopes rose again, then fell; except for the pole and the still-unexplained penguin, she stood alone on this field of snow.
…The penguin? Syar almost laughed out loud. Great. I'm cracking up, she thought. Is this how the world looks when you lose your mind? Endless snow and a totem pole, with a penguin channeling your best friend? Surrendering to the absurdity, Syar shook her head, looked at the motionless penguin and said, "Why not?" Her strength drained, she sat down on the snow and leaned against the pole.
As her back touched the pole, three things happened. First, she was startled to realize the pole felt hot. Not stove-top or flame hot, but warm enough to cause her to push away from the pole and jump to her feet. Second, as she rose she heard Nadia call her name. Third, the penguin began to run, away from Syar and the pole. Feeling confused and driven by reflex, Syar started running, meaning to catch the penguin or at least keep the bird in sight.
Almost immediately sharp pains caused her to break stride. She felt as if her lungs had turned into tiny, weak balloons, filled with fire and ice instead of air. Syar slowed, stopped and stooped low, trying to catch her breath. This was not good; whether from breathing this super-chilled air or some unknown cause, her usual triathlon-capable wind and endurance were nowhere to be found. After a moment she turned and headed for the now-appealing warmth of the strange pole.
Vision is a funny sense. The visual cortex is easily fooled by persistence tricks and distorted perspectives. Sometimes the mind simply refuses to accept unexpected input. At some unconscious level Syar understood this phenomenon might explain why she continued to walk toward a nonexistent – or at least no longer visible – pole. Though it seemed much longer, in reality she'd only taken a few steps before she realized there was no pole in this direction. Assuming she was disoriented she turned a circle, then another; no pole. She noticed her penguin-friend had stopped running, and almost seemed to be waiting for Syar to follow again. After one more fruitless scan, Syar started walking toward the bird who in turn walked away from her, leading them both…somewhere. Maybe.
"Hey! Chilly Willy! Do you know where you're going, or are we just out for a stroll?" For a moment she thought she heard Nadia answer, but decided it must have been the wind.
They traveled thus together-apart, trudging through unblemished snow, the stoic penguin with the weakening girl a short distance behind. They walked for about an hour, she guessed; the accuracy of her internal clock was legendary. Or was it? She felt as though she had been forced off-course, out of her fast-moving yet familiar currents, slipping into dark, numbing pools of uncertainty and doubt. She imagined vague predators lurking, waiting for her to weaken further. Resisting the urge to give up, she continued to tread water in these pools. More than once she shouted, pinched her arm, slapped her cheek just to feel a twinge of reality-affirming pain or hear a human voice. When she finally saw the pole ahead she was at once surprised, elated, and relieved; she broke into a run. The penguin was waiting when she reached the pole. Thus she stood panting, out of breath from her brief final run.
Syar reviewed these events, trying to capture the elusive sense of something out of place, something not quite right. She told herself to relax, to look with eyes unfocused, see what seemed to resist observation. In a moment she knew the answer: this was not the same pole.
Like a diver's splash and waves fading to ripples, this initially disturbing realization quickly settled, smoothed by hopeful pragmatism in Syar's mind. "As long as it's warm like the other one," she murmured. Carefully she placed her hand against the pole; this one also emanated the warmth her body desperately needed to absorb. Syar knelt on the snow, wrapped her arms around the object and held herself against it.
The pole's heat seemed to drive the chill from her, working from the inside out; she hardly noticed. She felt exhausted, and thought she might be able to fall asleep hugging the pole. She closed her eyes, wanting heat and rest. For some reason the penguin became quite agitated when she did this; it hopped and hooted by her side. Was it trying to get her attention? The bird's antics barely registered in Syar's mind. She briefly wondered about the mysterious poles: how did the first one vanish? Was this really a different one, or had the first one somehow moved? Thinking took more effort than she cared to muster, so she prepared to stop. "Who cares if there's more than one pole, or if the things can walk around?" Her voice was slurred, then she gave a weak laugh. "Guess a pole would hop, not walk… Whatever. Not exactly earth-shattering either way."
As the words left her mouth Syar felt a deep, rippling vibration flow through the snow beneath her legs. This sensation was followed by a powerful cracking sound then more vibration, stronger now. In a daze, she pushed herself away from the pole and looked around; everything had changed.
She heard Nadia shouting, sobbing: "It's breaking! Syar – Oh God! It's broken!" She sounded far away. Still dazed, Syar couldn't find the penguin at first; her world had indeed fractured into dozens of snow-ice masses, slowly drifting apart on a blue-black sea. Using the pole for support she stood to get a better view. She finally spotted the penguin on an "island" some distance from her own, already unreachable.
Fatalistic thoughts took form and sought control. She sat down hard a few feet away from the pole, no longer interested in trying to stay warm. Syar considered the possibility that she might soon draw her last breath in this inescapable frozen waste. She did not fear dying; she cherished life yet viewed it as a souvenir, something she would remember when her days in this temporal form came to an end. Yet she knew the ache of Things Not Done, and could not deny she wanted more days, years… more time, with her family, her friends, her inimitable posse. How deeply she would miss – she turned suddenly, her morose contemplations interrupted by several different sounds. The noise of something falling and splashing into water dominated the sudden auditory barrage.
It was Nadia the penguin, of course. But now she saw more penguins. Five? Ten? She couldn't count. They seemed to maintain constant motion: diving, surfacing, swimming, climbing. Then she realized what the other sounds were; hearing her Ragamuffins she leapt to her feet and ran to the water's edge.
Confusion, joy and sadness overwhelmed her; Syar found herself unable to speak. The only thing she wanted was the one she couldn't have: to somehow rejoin her friends. She stood at the edge of life, of relative safety and of despair. More than anything Syar hated change; she saw the grim irony of this triangle, this three-edged precipice before her. If nothing changed she would certainly despair and most likely die. There was no safe escape from all three.
"Help me, Nadia," she pleaded.
"We can't fight change, Syar. It's just no good," said Nadia. "Change always wins in the end. All we can do is stay focused on what matters most. When those things change, we'll still be able to recognize them. Then we figure out the rest."
"When did you become so wise, my friend?" Syar asked, her voice breaking. I can't bear this pain.
"What made you decide to notice?" Came the sweet, sarcastic reply. Syar had been fairly certain a penguin's facial muscles weren't capable of delivering a smile; apparently she was mistaken.
Despair reared its head. "Why did this have to happen?!" Still unwilling to accept her fate, Syar directed her bitter challenge skyward.
Nadia replied, "It had to break, Syar. There was no other way." She paused, then added softly, "But I stayed focused on you."
Syar felt a lump form in her throat, but her eyes remained dry. And suddenly she knew what she needed to do. She might not defeat change, but she could certainly fight. What's the most effective way to battle change? She asked herself. Answer: do the most unexpected thing. Syar tensed, then dove headfirst into the freezing sea.
Immediately she tried to rotate, to turn and face the surface. She wanted to see the water from her splash fall back into the whole, watch her waves fade to ripples as she slowly dropped to pain-free depths. Instead she found herself spinning, whirling like a skater or a football in a tight spiral flight. In fact she felt more like an airborne football than a sinking, drowning girl. She arched her back and felt herself begin to tumble. Trying to regain control she flailed her arms; she saw a flipper strike her feathered chest.
Syar had also been fairly certain a penguin could not scream under water; again she was mistaken. She finally righted herself and managed to swim a slow loop. Then she spotted Nadia, and the other penguins she'd recognized as friends. She decided to accept this most unexpected change, relaxed and quickly found her wings, so to speak, and swam to join the others. Syar learned the joy, grace and beauty of life as an aquatic bird. A penguin might be flightless in air, but few creatures match their ability to "fly" under water. Syar and her penguin posse rocketed up and down, dove hundreds of meters and enjoyed a sense of freedom and fulfillment of purpose unparalleled on the surface world.
It seemed like only a few moments had passed when Nadia swam beside her and said, "You need to surface now, and breathe air again." Syar understood this; a penguin can stay submerged a long time on a single "breath," but she had no need to push her physical limits. She directed her torpedo-like body toward the faint glow overhead and quickly ascended. With a final flex and thrust, Syar broke the surface…
"…her fever broke. I screamed and nurses came running. They thought she died or something. She went right to sleep, so we've still been taking turns in here." Nadia's voice.
Syar kept her eyes closed. As she "swam" back from the depths of a much-needed restful sleep, she considered her vivid memories. She could only begin to guess what must have really happened, but this did not concern her. She was right where she belonged, right now. She knew every person in the unfamiliar-feeling room, knew their names, their chattering voices, their hopes and dreams, how they appeared, even where they stood. These dear ones knew her as well, and this was as it should be. Let changes come; she and her friends would stay focused on what mattered most. With a weak smile, Syar opened her eyes.
