Marie's Kitchen -- A fest for Passover and Easter
Easter Sunday is April 8, and Passover is celebrated from sunset of April 6 through nightfall of April 14. Today's recipes honor both.
If you plan to have leg of lamb for Easter dinner, my recipe for Best Leg of Lamb is from Karen McAshan of Kerrville, Texas, printed in the April/May 2008 issue of Taste of Home magazine. Karen wrote: "When Julia Child visited my cousin's winery 20 years ago for a TV segment, she prepared leg of lamb using these ingredients. She didn't give the amounts, but I've come close to recreating the recipe."
I'm all about time management, so I love recipes like this one that require overnight marinating in the refrigerator to lessen the pressure on the day that you plan to cook and serve guests.
Best Leg of Lamb
? 1/3 cup minced fresh rosemary
? 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
? 2 tablespoons olive oil
? 8 garlic cloves, minced
? 1 teaspoon soy sauce
? 1/2 teaspoon salt
? 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
? 1 bone-in leg of lamb (7 to 9 pounds), trimmed
? 1 cup chicken broth
Method for Best Leg of Lamb:
In a small bowl, combine rosemary, mustard, olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, salt and pepper; rub over leg of lamb. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Place lamb, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees F., for two hours.
Add broth to pan; cover loosely with foil. Bake 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours longer, or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145 degrees; medium, 160 degrees; well-done, 170 degrees). Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Yield: 10 to 12 servings.
With leg of lamb, I always serve mashed potatoes. Recently, my husband, Jim, and I spent a lovely week in Sarasota, Fla. More than once we ate at Madfish Grill at 4059 Cattlemen Road in Sarasota. I know that many people from this area winter in the Sarasota/Bradenton area, and I highly recommend that you visit Madfish Grill. Check them out online at www.madfishgrill.com.
I raved and raved over the Frizzled Leeks that topped my grilled mahi-mahi; I could have eaten a whole bowl of them. We chatted with Miles (the owner), and he took my email address and said that his chef, Ben Gough, would be glad to send the recipe to me. And, indeed, I received the recipe the very next day. I'm a very lucky woman! If you want to make a great impression, serve your guests mashed potatoes topped or mixed with Frizzled Leeks.
Frizzled Leeks
Trim leeks, reserving the white part of the leek for your favorite potato-leek soup recipe. Julienne the green part of the leeks into thin strips about 2 inches long and 1/4-inch wide. Soak in ice-cold water. Prepare a fryer according to manufacturers' instructions or heat oil in a stock pot to 350 degrees F. Prepare a seasoned flour mix with all-purpose flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder, if desired. Drain the bulk of the water off the leeks, leaving enough for the seasoned flour mix to adhere. Dredge the leeks with the flour. Shake off excess flour and transfer to fryer. Fry until golden; remove from fryer and drain on paper towels. Use as a garnish or as an ingredient in salads, mashed potatoes, etc.
One of my favorite recipes, Asparagus with Balsamic Tomatoes, would be a colorful and simple vegetable dish to add to the Easter dinner table. The recipe is from Laura Zapalowski, Cooking Light, April 2011.
Asparagus with
Balsamic Tomatoes
? 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
? 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
? 1-1/2 cups (a 1-pint container) halved grape tomatoes
? 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
? 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
? 1/4 teaspoon salt
? 3 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
? 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Method for Asparagus
with Balsamic Tomatoes:
Cook asparagus in boiling water 2 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and garlic; cook 5 minutes; stir in vinegar; cook 3 minutes. Stir in salt. Arrange asparagus on a platter; top with tomato mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and pepper. Yield: 4 servings.
I love chocolate cake, and although I have several favorites in my files, I found a new recipe in a Daisy Brand Sour Cream magazine advertisement for Double Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake. The photo made me salivate enough to run out and purchase the ingredients to whip one up. I expected to make it for the photo in today's column, but my to-do list overwhelmed me. Stay tuned for the results. With cocoa, bittersweet chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips, it just doesn't get more chocolaty than that!
Double Chocolate
Chip Bundt Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
? 1 cup cocoa
? 6 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate
? 3/4 cup boiling water
? 1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
? 1 teaspoon salt
? 1 teaspoon baking soda
? 10 tablespoons butter (1-1/4 sticks)
? 2 cups brown sugar
? 1 tablespoon vanilla
? 5 eggs
? 1-1/2 cups Daisy Brand Sour Cream
? 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
? Powdered sugar as needed
Method for Double Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake:
Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray. Mix cocoa and chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water over chocolates and stir to melt. Let stand to cool (about 2 to 3 minutes). Meanwhile, combine flour, salt and baking soda. Cream butter, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add eggs to the butter mixture. Fold the sour cream into the cooled chocolate mixture. Add the flour mixture and the sour cream chocolate mixture to the butter mixture and blend. Add chocolate chips and stir to incorporate. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 55 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly before removing from pan. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve. May be served with whipped cream.
Last year, my husband, Jim, and I were privileged to participate in a family Seder meal held at my brother-in-law Steve Waehler's home in Sparta, N.J.; several members of our family are Jewish. It was not my first Seder meal, but sharing it with family was a moving experience. The Seder is the joyful family dinner and worship service which is held in Jewish homes on Passover.
Brisket is a traditional dish served during Passover. This recipe also must be marinated overnight and, in fact, if you marinate it, cook it ahead of time and refrigerate again, it's even better. Just reheat before finally serving it.
? 1 (5 to 7 pound) brisket (called No. 3 cut in Israel)
? 1/2 cup oil
? 1/2 cup dry red wine
? 1/4 cup cola
? 1/4 cup honey
? 4 tablespoons ketchup
? 2 onions
? 1 teaspoon paprika
Method for Brisket:
Wash and drain meat. Mix seasonings; pour over meat. Marinate overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and bake until done (about 2-1/2 to 4 hours). When cool, use an electric knife to thinly slice against the grain. If the meat is not cut against the grain, it will be chewy and tough to eat. It if is cut thinly against the grain, it's delicious. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
Another traditional dish served not only during Passover but often at the Seder meal, as well, is Haroset (sometimes spelled Charoset). Try the following recipe for Dad's Best Haroset from Allrecipes.com, submitted by email from CityGirlTurnedChef.
My thanks to Karen at Banks Wines & Spirits in Millville for guiding me through their selection of kosher red wines; I chose an Italian wine, Mevushal Kosher for Passover Vinò Sweet Red. I suggest first pouring the wine in a non-reactive bowl; then adding the cinnamon and nuts. If you save the apples until last, you can dice each one and quickly add the pieces to the wine mixture so that the apples don't turn brown.
Dad's Best Haroset
? 3 apples, peeled, cored and diced
? 1 cup walnuts, chopped
? 1 cup pecans, chopped
? 1 cup kosher red wine (such as Manischewitz)
? 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Method for Haroset:
In a large bowl, stir the apples, walnuts, pecans and wine together. Season with cinnamon; stir and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. Yield: 4 servings.
Since flour can't be used during Passover, bakers tend to use many eggs to provide the protein necessary to give holiday cakes and cookies some shape. They also rely on nuts and coconut during Passover to lend richness and flavor to desserts. Try this recipe I found online from Lauren Chattman for Coconut Macaroons using unsweetened coconut.
Coconut Macaroons
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
? 3/4 cup sugar
? 2-1/2 cups unsweetened coconut
? 2 large egg whites
? 1 teaspoon kosher-for-Passover vanilla extract (optional)
? 1/8 teaspoon salt
Method for Coconut Macaroons:
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine sugar, coconut, egg whites, vanilla (if using) and salt in a medium mixing bowl; mix with a rubber spatula.
Drop the batter by heaping tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets and press each cookie into a pyramid shape with your fingers, leaving about 1-1/2 inches between each cookie.
Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Slide parchment onto a wire rack and let cookies cool completely. Carefully peel them off parchment paper. Coconut macaroons will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Yield: About 24 cookies.

Continental Tyres Women's National League: Top-of-the-table UCD Waves wary of Champions Shelbourne Ladies
UCD Waves manager Noel Kealy leads his top-of-the-table side to Women's National League Champions Shelbourne Ladies on Saturday, admitting it will be a 'real test' of his side's title credentials.
Two wins from two games in the Women's National League, Waves have set the early season pace with a narrow 1-0 win at Galway WFC and an impressive 5-1 victory over Kilkenny United.
Kealy took over UCD Waves a number of weeks before the start of the season, taking over from previous manager Eileen Gleeson after leaving his position at Kilkenny United.
The Waves boss is delighted with the start to the campaign, stating that the quality of the training and the attitude of the players has been excellent.
Kealy said: "I'm happy with the way it has gone so far. Obviously Eileen left which made the pre-season I had with the team quite short so it was a difficult start.
"The attitude from the players has been brilliant. The quality of the training has been great. In fairness to my time down in Kilkenny, we were doing the same type of training but maybe not to the same level.
"I feel like I've had to up my game as a manager for these players and it really helps when the attitude of the players is exceptional."
UCD Waves finished second in the Continental Tyres Women's National League last season, eight points behind this weekend's opponents Shelbourne Ladies.
Despite the impressive start to the campaign, Kealy is targeting continual improvements from his side with a long way to go in the 2017 season.
He added: "We had a tough game down in Galway in the first game of the season and everyone is always a little tentative going into the first game. I was delighted with the performance and the result.
"Our fitness is excellent and we really kicked on in the game against Kilkenny United. The team really showed their quality and I think it really started our season.
"We're really focusing on ourselves this season and making sure our performance is right. The players will continue to improve as the season goes on and I'm really looking forward to seeing this team develop."
Waves face Shelbourne at Morton Stadium, with kick-off at 7pm, on Saturday and will welcome into their side Republic of Ireland internationals Aine O'Gorman, Julie Ann-Russell and Karen Duggan.
Shelbourne have only achieved one point from their opening two games but Kealy is wary of the threat from the Champions as they aim to claim silverware this season.
Kealy concluded: "Shelbourne will always be a tough game for anyone in the league. They have always got quality and I'm expecting a really good game between two good sides.
"It'll be a good test of where we are at. Like any team who is competing for the league, we want to be there at the end of the season. Sliverware has got to be the objective.
"We've got the quality and the depth in the squad to do that but we've got to continue to improve and keep refining those details as the season goes on."

Tularaemia is an infection caused by the bacteria Francisella tularensis. It is commonly found in a range of wildlife species across the northern hemisphere but, until recently, was believed to be absent from Australian wildlife.
Different subspecies of tularaemia vary in their virulence. A single case of Francisella tularensis novicida was reported in a human in the Northern Territory in 2003. In 2011, two separate cases of F. t. holarctica biovar japonica were diagnosed in two women who had a history which included being scratched and/ or bitten by common ringtail possums in western Tasmania. Testing of a small number of possums from western Tasmania and other areas did not reveal evidence of tularaemia.
In September 2016, tularaemia was detected for the first time in Australian animals, following Next Generation molecular analysis of archived samples, collected from two separate clusters of common ringtail possum deaths that had occurred in NSW in 2002 and 2003. Findings of F. t. holarctica were confirmed by PCR and were found to be genomically very similar to that found in the 2011 Australian human cases.

Zika virus is a viral disease spread by mosquitoes. It first appeared in 1947 in Africa, originating from non human primates. In humans it has caused sporadic disease in tropical areas inhabited by the mosquito vector (Aedes aegypti). In recent times, outbreaks of the disease have been seen in the Pacific and now in Brazil and other countries of South America. In humans, most infections are asymptomatic but around 20% of people may develop mild and short lived clinical signs. Recently Zika virus infection in humans has been linked to auto-immune disease and microcephaly in babies. Only a handful of imported cases have been reported in humans in Australia, although the vector mosquito occurs in parts of Queensland. There is no evidence that Australian wildlife are involved in the epidemiology of Zika virus.
For more information see the following links:
A severe mortality event involving Bellinger River Snapping Turtles (Myuchelys georgesi) was investigated after dead and dying turtles were reported in February 2015. Over 430 turtles are estimated to have been affected with clinical signs including swollen eyes, blindness, emaciation, clear nasal discharge and hind limb paresis, and a very high case fatality rate. Diagnostic investigation was conducted by multiple agencies and organisations. A wide range of potential infectious aetiologies were excluded by laboratory testing and no evidence of pesticides was found in river water samples.

Google X
Il New York Times racconta il lavoro portato avanti dal laboratorio nella Bay Area dove Google immagina il futuro.
It's a place where your refrigerator could be connected to the Internet, so it could order groceries when they ran low. Your dinner plate could post to a social network what you're eating. Your robot could go to the office while you stay home in your pajamas. And you could, perhaps, take an elevator to outer space.
These are just a few of the dreams being chased at Google X, the clandestine lab where Google is tackling a list of 100 shoot-for-the-stars ideas. In interviews, a dozen people discussed the list; some work at the lab or elsewhere at Google, and some have been briefed on the project. But none would speak for attribution because Google is so secretive about the effort that many employees do not even know the lab exists.

Great place to stay! This was our 5th trip to Blackbear resort and it never disappoints. The staff is always friendly and helpful and they have many activities to do on-site. It's a yearly tradition now for our family and the kids love it. The prices are great and I would highly recommend staying here if you want to get away from it all….

US Envoy Accuses Houthis for Postponement of Yemen Peace Deal
On Thursday, the U.S. ambassador to Yemen criticized the Iran-affiliated Houthi movement for the gridlock to a U.N.-led peace accord in the main port of Hodeidah and stated that Houthi weapons pose a threat to other nations in the region.
The Saudi-backed Yemeni government and the Houthis reached a truce and troop withdrawal deal for Hodeidah that is basically under the control of the Houthis, during discussions in Sweden in December. The accord was the first big development in attempts to bring an end to Yemen's four-year war.
While the ceasefire was largely followed, the troop pullout by both parties has not transpired with each side accusing the other for lack of development. The agreement directed to avoid a full-scale attack on the port, which is a lifeline for millions of Yemenis.
Ambassador Matthew Tueller during a televised news conference from the southern port of Aden, where the internationally acknowledged government is based stated that they are greatly disappointed by what they consider as postponement and halting on the part of the Houthis in enforcing what they reached in Sweden. However, he has great trust and faith in the UN envoy and in his duty.
He stated that they are ready to work with others in order to enforce the deal that was reached in Sweden and observe if the Houthis can present a political maturity and start to act in the interest of Yemen, instead of working for those who want to cripple and destroy Yemen.
Tueller stated that he had not given up dream that the deal would be enforced in Hodeidah, where thousands of Yemeni forces supported the Saudi-led coalition is assembled on the outskirts. The United States has backed the Yemeni government against the Houthis and offered military support to the alliance headed by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which includes help with targeting for Saudi air strikes.

- For the faction, see Bards College (Faction).
The Bards College is where almost all bards found in Skyrim were trained. They will instruct the Dragonborn to inquire within or travel here if they are asked about their background.
It's a three-story building located near the Blue Palace inside the walls of Solitude. The building itself is large but contains no notable loot except for many books. There are many flutes, drums, and lutes within. Occasionally, bards at the college will have conversations or classes.
It is adjacent to Proudspire Manor.
Upon arriving at the College, the player will be able to seek admittance by speaking with the headmaster, Viarmo. He will initiate conversation shortly after the Dragonborn enters the college.
He will task the player with retrieving a book lost long ago, detailing treacheries committed by Olaf One-Eye, a former high king. The book can be found deep inside Dead Man's Respite. Once retrieved and returned to Viarmo, the player must help him fill in the gaps that are rampant in the verses of the book. Once completed, the headmaster takes the player to the Jarl to try and reinstate a festival that was disbanded.
Note: The last three quests will give you an extra level in all 18 skills.
- On the exterior there is a balcony visible as the player enters the College courtyard from the street. On this balcony are two Elven Arrows and one Potion of Plentiful Healing. The player can only access this balcony from the exterior by using the Proudspire Manor Patio before it has been uprgraded. Jump up from the Barrels (located near the stairs) onto the arches surrounding the patio. From there, jump onto the roof of Proudspire Manor and then across to the adjacent College roof.
- If the porch upgrade was purchased, the balcony can still be reached by sprinting from the main road up the sloped wall between the College and Proudspire Manor, then jumping over the balcony rail.
- 360 PS3 PC Quest items (Finn's Lute, Pantea's Flute, and Rjorn's Drum) may be not removable from the inventory after completing their associated quests. (The quest items are actually ID'd as a regular flute, drum, and lute. Console command can remove them, player.removeitem X 1, where X is the item ID.
- Drum: 000daba9
- Flute: 000daba7
- Lute: 000dabab
- If you take the quest for the College of Winterhold to retrieve a staff and retrieve Pantea's Flute at the same time, you will be unable to retrieve the flute later.
- On the second floor, in one of the lecture halls, the sounds of lessons play even if no one is around.

The popularity of Kia vehicles are growing rapidly in this country and Kia was looking to expand that popularity when it released the new Rio earlier on this year.
Having driven the previous model I was very keen to see the improvements that Kia had made with the new model.
The Rio looks great on the outside and benefits from a chrome "Schreyer" grille surround, black grille cover that extends to the head lights complete with DRL's, 15 inch alloy wheels and a rear lip spoiler.
Kia has done a lot of work on the interior of the new model and it shows as the Rio's interior is improved over the previous model, there is still a lot of hard plastics but you expect that in this price range but I really like the look and feel of the interior. The premium steering wheel, shift knob and the use of high gloss black trim accents a metallic finish dash fascia and satin silver accents on the steering wheel and door handles gives the interior a more inviting feel.
The Rio is larger than the previous generation and it shows on the inside with improved interior space, the seats are rather comfortable to sit in but could use a little more support. Rear seat has enough head and leg room for 2 adults. There is plenty of storage space with 4 bottle holders in the doors, twin cup holders in the front, map holders in the front doors and a large tray at the bottom of the centre stack which is ideal for your smart phone and perfectly placed next to the fast charging USB port, boot space is decent at 320L which expands to 980L with the rear seats folded..
Tech levels and connectivity have improved tenfold over the previous model with the addition of a 7inch touch screen, apple carplay, android auto capabilities and satnav with suna live traffic updates. The infotainment system is one of the best in class and extremely easy to use.
Android auto basically mirrors your smart phone meaning you can put your phone in the console or glove box and concentrate on driving like you should be doing. I used it a lot during the week and found it not only easy to use but the system was exceptionally easy to connect my phone too.
If you don't use car play or auto don't worry you can still live stream music via Bluetooth which still meant I was able to listen to spotify without an issue. The Satnav system with live traffic updates is not only easy to use but very welcoming on a car in this price range.
With only 74kw and 130Nm from the 1.4L 4cyl engine under the bonnet the Rio struggled a little bit on my commute specially with starting from the lights at the bottom of some of the hills. This wasn't helped by the fact it only has a 4 speed auto transmission which made it a bit frustrating to at times as it seemed like there was a bit of a flat spot in between 3 and 4th gear this car is really screaming out for more gears.
While it returns decent economy on the freeway the little engine does have to work a little more thanks once again to the 4 speed auto with the engine sitting on 2500rpm at 100kph.
On my commute it did struggle a little with the constant 0-70kph and 0-80kph accelerating and I managed just over 9L/100km for the week.
The Rio's has benefited from Kia's ongoing local suspension tuning program and while I found the suspension sprung a touch on the stiff side so it did ride a little firmer than other cars in its class that I had driven. In saying that while you do fell some of the bumps there was no bang or crashiness transmitting into the cabin and in no was it ever put off line or disturbed by the them.
The plus side to this was the handling rather good indeed with barely any lean in the corners, the steering however while feeling rather neutral and improved over the old model although I would have liked more sharpness. While it's a small car the light makes it even easier to park.
I get the feeling from it that the Rio is under powered for the chassis and could easily take extra kw's under the bonnet. I am hoping the Rio also cops the GT-line treatment in the future.
Safety wise the Rio comes standard with 6 airbags, abs brakes, electronic brakeforce distribution, emergency brake assist, electronic stability control with traction control, vehicle stability management system and hill start assist, 3 child restraint anchor points in the rear 2 of which are ISOFIX.
It gets full points for having rear parking sensors and gets bonus points for the standard fit rearview camera.
Kia has made a lot of improvements to the Rio over the previous model and it's more mature looks on the outside combined with a more inviting and comfortable interior, improved ride and handling and the one of the best infotainment system in it's class. The only thing that lets it down a little is the carry over 1.4L 4cyl engine and 4 speed auto (it needs more gears). But the good thing about that is at least it doesn't have a woeful CVT like a lot of it's competitors.
The Rio does shape up as idea car for somebody that's after small run around or something comfortable to and decent enough on petrol to commute to work in. I'm sure that you can achieve better fuel figures than I did but my commute seems to favour cars with bigger engines and/or more torque.
It's size and light steering makes it a dream to wheel around tight inner city car parks.
The Rio's pricing makes it ideal for someone after their first car or a 2nd car for the family and you get the added peace of mind of Kia's 7 year warranty.

In the past, I have had the privilege of consuming some expensive spirits. Sometimes offered by friends while smoking cigars, sometimes purchased at exotic bars (a shot of Louis XIII in the Caymans). For scotch lovers that don't drive expensive cars (RUSTO), I have a great choice for you tonight.
I was turned on to Johnnie Walker Double Black just over a year ago. Back then, it was very hard to find on the shelves of liquor stores, as the product would sell out very quickly. It was no secret that, unlike it's big brother Blue, this bottle of liquid sunshine and sex was a great bang for the buck.
I recently picked up a fresh bottle for a mere $45 from the local
alcoholics liquor store and immediately poured it into a very nice crystal decanter. This is so that I feel more sophisticated when I pour a glass.
The price of the 750mL bottle is deceiving. An uninitiated soul might think that it's just some gimmick to sell regular Black Label, but it's not. The aroma immediately defines it as different. The taste has a hint of vanilla and smokiness about it, with a hint of char from the barrels it aged in. It's smooth, but not quite baby's ass/Blue Label smooth. As someone who can take a shot of Jäger/tequila/turpentine without wincing, I actually appreciate a small bite to my alcohol. You probably won't mind it either.
The best compliment I can actually give this fine example of distilled grain is that it is priced as a bargain. Really, $45 isn't pocket change for most people, but it's ridiculously inexpensive for what it is. And if you'd like a second opinion, read this.
Verdict: A fine scotch that might be outclassed by big bro Blue Label, but holds it's own against any contenders within $50 of it's price point.

The playoffs continued as November began with the second leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinals fast approaching.
In the buildup, talk of injuries to key pieces – Drew Moor and Victor Vazquez – proved unfounded, as both were ready when the whistle blew on November 5.
Emotion was running high, tensions boiled over on the pitch and carried on into the tunnel, where all men entered and two fewer returned.
Come the second half, the New York Red Bulls would find the goal they desired, a harmless long-range effort deflecting to elude Alex Bono in the Toronto FC goal to tie the series on aggregate. It was the last goal Bono would concede.
The TFC keeper burst off his line to deny Bradley Wright-Phillips from turning the tide. And though both Jonathan Osorio and Victor Vazquez were denied insurance for one excuse or another, it mattered not, as victory was sealed in defeat.
A 1-0 loss to the Red Bulls at BMO Field saw TFC advance on away goals following a 2-2 aggregate series score.
In the end, it was Sebastian Giovinco's free-kick prowess that proved the difference; determination key to Toronto outlasting.
But come the start of the next round, TFC would be without his services, as well as those of Jozy Altidore, leaving Tosaint Ricketts to deputize, hunting out that one chance.
Lessons learned on keeping cool, adapt and advance the rallying cry, respect for a difficult opponent was front of mind. The Battle of the Two Greg(g)s was set to kick off with TFC backed up by their travelling fans, as Michael Bradley braced for a decisive midfield battle with Wil Trapp and Federico Higuain.
The Eastern Conference Championship got underway on November 21, the opening leg on the road, as TFC squared off against Trillium Cup rivals, Columbus Crew SC.
The last road match of the season, whatever may come, Bono was again at the centre of the action, coming up big on Harrison Afful, with a little help from Raheem Edwards' block, to keep the tie delicately balanced 0-0 after 90 minutes.
Before play resumed, on November 27 Greg Vanney was named 2017 MLS Coach of the Year.
The Gregfather reigns supreme— Toronto FC (@torontofc) November 27, 2017
Let's hear it for your 2017 MLS Coach of the Year, Greg Vanney!
📰: https://t.co/Mry9l1AKQ1 pic.twitter.com/o6A3gP1e8C
Seba and Jozy back, their long layoffs finally over, fears of rust were brushed aside, as TFC entered the second leg at BMO Field on November 29, confident that their future rested exactly where they wanted it.
Bradley was a man-possessed, eating up ground to put in a game-saving tackle on Justin Meram.
Never. Give. Up.#TFCLive | #TORvCLB | 0-0 pic.twitter.com/1yvvfUT81S— Toronto FC (@torontofc) November 30, 2017
Vazquez had another trophy on his boot, only for Columbus keeper Zack Steffen to prove equal to the task at hand.
Cue the drama, as an Afful challenge on Altidore, however inadvertent, hobbled the big man in the 49th minute.
His race having, seemingly, come to an end. Toronto down to 10 men for much of the 11 minutes left in Altidore's night. When the chance came, Altidore was ready, bursting down the side of the area to score the only goal needed on the night.
It's been quite a journey for @JozyAltidore 💪. #MLSCup pic.twitter.com/t6ERDeURW8— Major League Soccer (@MLS) December 10, 2017
Keyser Jozy, as so often this season, the hero once more.
There were momentary scares as Columbus pushed to equalize, but they could not prevent a celebration worthy of a year long wait as the 1-0 win, on the night and in the series, sealed Toronto's return to the game their hearts desired.
The Eastern Conference Championship trophy was held high. Now, the MLS Cup awaits.

The Definition of a Job Description
What a job description means? This article shows you what is the definition of a job description and describe it's objectives in more details
What is a Job Description?
A job description is a "description of the duties" of an employee or group of employees. Job description records for a longer period what is expected of an employee in that specific job. The description provides, among other things, insight into tasks, responsibilities, the most important results that must be achieved, the position within the organization and which job requirements are necessary for a successful job performance. Think of the required competencies and knowledge and experience.
The description and maintenance of functions is an ongoing process. Organizations change and the functions within the organizations too. Just like the employees who perform those functions. For this reason a function building or function book (the total of described functions) is never finished. Existing descriptions will be canceled or need to be adjusted. New descriptions are included.
By describing positions clearly and concretely, employees know what is expected of them and they are given the opportunity to manage themselves. The management possibilities of managers are also being increased. In addition, the job description process makes clear how tasks and responsibilities are divided, how reporting lines run and what results are being pursued. This is important information when setting up or adjusting an organization.
Job descriptions also have a number of other goals, namely:
- basis for the recruitment and selection of new employees
- tool for the preparation of the planning meeting
- tool for drawing up a Personal Development Plan
- aid in determining the training and development needs
- basis for job evaluation
We'll describe the other goals in more details:
1- Basis for recruitment selection
The moment a vacancy arises, the existing job description serves as the basis for the vacancy text. When recruitment agencies are used, it's a reference work for the first selection of suitable candidates.
It's also a useful tool for job interviews or selection interviews. On the basis of the description, the most important elements for the interview can be determined by the selectors. This allows candidates to be specifically targeted.
Before the job description is used, it's important that they are checked for accuracy. Are the aforementioned tasks, responsibilities and the intended results still topical? Is the role still correct within the organization? Are the required knowledge and experience still correct? Do new elements need to be added or not? If this isn't done, there is a risk that the wrong candidate will be hired.
Sometimes it happens that by discussing a job description it becomes clear that a vacancy is actually no longer a vacancy. By dividing responsibilities and duties, a vacancy that has arisen can still be resolved in an alternative way. However, this means that the other descriptions must be adjusted.
2- Tool for the preparation of the planning meeting
During the planning interviewamong other things, agreements are made about the results to be achieved and the competencies that are required for a successful job performance. The results are often derived from the organizational or departmental goals. However, the job description can also be used as a basis for this type of appointment. In addition, the job description states the competencies and knowledge required for the job. Agreements can also be made based on this.
3- Tool for drawing up a Personal Development Plan
Drawing up a Personal development planmany employees find it difficult. For inspiration, one can look at one's own job description or the job description of a job that someone aspires to. Based on the differences between the current performance and the intended function, the development need can be determined and then translated into concrete actions, such as education, on-the-job training, specific assignments or activities etc.
4- Tool for determining training and development needs
At individual level, job descriptions are an aid in determining the training and development needs. The method is the same as when the description is used with the Personal Development Plan.
Job descriptions can also provide input for determining training or development needs at group or department level. When important elements change in a job description that applies to a larger group of employees, this can cause a 'gap' between the current and desired level. Consider, for example, wanting to work in a more customer-oriented way. New responsibilities and result areas may then be added to the job description. This in turn can affect competences and knowledge. The 'gap' that has arisen between the current situation and the desired situation can lead to a group of employees having to follow training or education.
5- Basis for job evaluation
By describing all functions in a clear and transparent manner, it becomes possible to compare and evaluate the functions. The mutual comparison leads an employer to the most objective and fair ranking of positions. This ranking can then be used to introduce differences in pay.
The role of the HR department in describing functions
The HR department has an advisory and steering role in the job description process. Advising in the sense of critically questioning managers and employees about job-related matters and the way in which results and responsibilities are divided over the positions. The usefulness and necessity of a job description can also be critically monitored by HR. Is a new description necessary or can it suffice with a small modification to an existing description that makes it more widely applicable?
Guiding in the sense that HR, possibly together with an external consultancy firm, determines the model for the job descriptions and also determines and monitors the process surrounding the creation of the descriptions.
Job descriptions can be drawn up by the HR department itself. However, some experience in this matter is required. Since it's sometimes difficult to distinguish main issues from side issues. The terminology also requires some experience. By following a targeted course these problems can be solved.
Function book and function matrix
A function book is often an overview or diagram in which the described functions of the same function family are grouped together. For organizations where quite a lot the same type of job occurs at different levels, this can increase the insight into the organization and job structure and thus career opportunities.
Examples of job families are:
- Commerce / sales: head of marketing, head of sales, senior account manager, account manager, commercial manager,
marketing employee, commercial employee
- Administration / finance: head controller, head administration, head payroll administration, administrator, payroll administrator, accountant, administrative assistant
- IT: head of IT, IT team leader, IT employee, system administrator, help desk employee
- HR: HR director, head of P&O, P&O Manager, P&O Advisor, HR employee
When these job families are placed in a job matrix that takes the job levels into account, it's also referred to as a job matrix or job reference matrix. Not only the function families are visible, but also the levels to which they are classified. The levels are often linked to the salary scales. A condition for a good job matrix is that the jobs are valued.

This triptych is for Week Six of my 52 Project self-assignment. Week 6 was last week and I took these photos on a day off from work, having roof repairs done. I usually like shooting in the late afternoon because of the shadows and quality of light but these were taken around noon. All the flowers and trees looked like they were reaching for the light.
Now we're in Week Seven and I had a shoot planned for after work today so I actually left work on time, went home, changed, and got my camera but there was a huge, huge crowd and tons of traffic where I wanted to be so I left. I'll have to try again tomorrow. There shouldn't be any crowds then as my shoot was going to be occasion-oriented. It'll still work as long as I can get the shots I want…even though they won't be taken on the exact day I had in mind.

Welcome to the world of a dog that Humane Society of Weld County workers simply call Mama.
"Mom, can I have milk? Mom, let's play! Mom, he's bugging me! Mom, hey, Mom, I'd like some attention. Mom! Hey Mom, Mom, Mom!"
Ah, the miracle of life. Maybe. Mama, a shepherd mix, has 11 little miracles to take care of now. So you can see why she might be a little stressed. You can see why, when workers visit her cage, she jumps up on them, as if she were pleading for a break in addition to a comforting pat on the head.
Hey, you'd need a vacation, too, if you were cranking out milk faster than a dairy cow, and all these youngsters with thumbtacks for teeth were constantly nipping at your sensitive teats.
Mama came to the humane society just a few days ago, after county animal officers found her abandoned with seven month-old puppies near a mobile home park south of Fort Lupton, said Roger Kovar, executive director of the society.
The same day, animal officers found another litter of four pups, along with their dead mother, which had been hit by a car.
Recommended Stories For You
The four puppies, also a month old, were too young for solid food, and they would have had to be bottle-fed. So humane society workers took a chance and hoped Mama would take them in, too. Usually mothers won't take in other pups or kittens.
But Mama welcomed the two border collie mixes and two shepherd mixes with open paws. She also has huskies, a Rottweiler, a St. Bernard and a couple shepherd/Labrador combinations (all are probably mixes). Females in heat can get pregnant by more than one male and have all kinds of puppies.
"She's a real champion in her commitment to motherhood," Kovar said, "and her commitment to diversity."
Society workers wanted to wait a couple days to see if the match worked, but shelters aren't supposed to have puppies less than 8 weeks old, so Kovar took them home Wednesday night to foster care for them. They will be available for adoption in a few weeks. Mama, of course, will help Kovar care for them.
Kovar believes he owes the friendly Mama a favor, so workers will try hard to find her a good home, too. They also gave her a new name.
What do you call such a selfless, wholehearted mother? Why, you call her Lady, of course.

Import cargo volume at the nation's major retail container ports is expected to see a small increase in July as merchants stock their shelves for the back-to-school season, according to the monthly Global Port Tracker report from the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates.
"Back-to-school and the holidays are the two biggest shopping seasons of the year for retailers and these numbers reflect that," said Jonathan Gold, NRF vp/supply chain and customs policy. "After a year of difficult comparisons in the wake of the West Coast ports slowdown, we're finally starting to see normal trends. Some numbers are still down from last year, but the pattern of building up toward the big seasons has returned."
Ports covered by Global Port Tracker handled 1.63 million Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units in May, up 12.8% from April and 1.1% from May 2015. One TEU is one 20-foot-long cargo container or its equivalent.
June was estimated at 1.56 million TEU, down 0.5% from the same month last year. July is forecast at 1.64 million TEU, up 1.4% from last year; August at 1.65 million TEU, down 2%; September at 1.58 million TEU, down 2.6%; October at 1.62 million TEU, up 4.4%, and November at 1.52 million TEU, up 2.8%.
The first half of 2016 is expected to total 8.99 million TEU, up 1.5% from the same period in 2015. Total volume for 2015 was 18.2 million TEU, up 5.4% from 2014.
"Trade is holding on to a small margin of growth, but this growth comes in the face of some adverse statistics as well as positive ones," said Ben Hackett, Hackett Associates founder. "The good news is that retail sales have remained positive as the consumer continues to cautiously spend. The hope is that this spending will continue."

The tungso (sometimes tongso) is a Korean notched, end-blown vertical bamboo flute used in Korean traditional music. It is similar to the danso, but longer and larger.
The instrument is parallel to the Chinese xiao and Japanese shakuhachi. A distinctive feature of the tungso, unlike other vertical flutes is that it may have a buzzing membrane, similar to that of the Korean transverse flute, the daegeum. This is especially common in the folk variety of the instrument.
The tungso is a vertical flute made of thick, aged bamboo. Until the mid-Joseon Era, tungso had been used mainly in court music, but by the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century, it became a more widely used instrument. Today, it is played in accompaniment to masked dances like the Bukcheong Sajanoreum.
Regarding the instrument's name, tong means "hole" and so refers to the notched end-blown vertical bamboo flute.

This is a statement of your rights and responsibilities for our therapeutic relationship.
The RCW 18.19.060 and WAC 246-810-031 require counselors/therapists to provide written disclosure of the following requirements to clients before counseling/therapy begins.
Therapist: Heidi Halsey, MA, LMFT
Washington State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist: 020705 LF00001125
Bachelors of Arts in Psychology, San Diego State University
Masters of Arts in Marriage, Family, Child Counseling, Chapman University
Training and Experience – I have over 34 years of experience with in and out-patient psychological treatment in areas including: sexual abuse, substance abuse, relationship dependency issues, domestic violence/Batterer's and victim's treatment, mental illness, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, anger management, domestic relationship issues, suicidal ideations/gestures/feelings/attempts, acting-out behavior, divorcing and blending families, parenting, crisis management, developmental and life cycle issues, couple issues, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, relaxation, personal growth, inner and inter-personal and relationship issues. I do counseling for counselors in training and businesses. I also do motivational and life change coaching, and dating coaching.
Methods and Techniques – I use a wide range of therapeutic interventions and perspectives as a meta-therapist, including: family systems, behavior management techniques, communication skills and supportive counseling through the assessment of individuals and families within their particular social system. I will use whatever therapeutic orientations are the best match or combination for each client. Clients set the agenda and make their goals for treatment. Problems are clarified and areas of focus are selected to develop a clear understanding of what we will accomplish together. Through the counseling, alternative views, options or skills may be presented and reading and homework assignments are common. You are responsible for making progress and setting the tone and speed of therapy. It is necessary to bring up and address anything that goes on in the therapy process that you are uncomfortable with so that I can restructure sessions or responses to make you feel more comfortable so that you can make the progress, changes or recovery that you seek.
Therapy Process and Results or Outcomes – Participation in therapy can result in a number of benefits including improving interpersonal relationships and the resolution of the specific concerns that led you to seek therapy. Working toward these benefits requires effort on your part, including honesty and openness and ownership over the progression of therapeutic involvement and process. Therapy can include discussing uncomfortable events or feelings and I may challenge some of your assumptions or perceptions or propose different ways of looking at, thinking about, or handling situations that can cause you to feel very upset, angry, depressed or disappointed – as well as other emotions. Psychotherapy may result in your making decisions about behaviors and relationships and while changes you make are with the goal of life improvement or the resolution of difficult or problematic relationships, behaviors or coping styles, some people in your life may not see your progress as positive and may view your changes as negative. Sometimes change is easy and swift while sometimes slow and even frustrating. There is no guarantee that psychotherapy will yield positive or intended results. Should you desire, I will refer you to another provider to continue therapy if my methods do not match what you would like from the therapeutic process.
Treatment Plan – I will discuss the specific goals and therapeutic objectives that you have in your pursuit of therapy. I will address possible risks and provide alternative suggestions to psychotherapy when appropriate.
Termination of Therapy – I reserve the right to discontinue therapy services if you fail to keep appointments, pay your fees incurred, be disruptive to other building tenants, be hostile, threatening or intimidating to me, my staff, other building tenants or other members of the treatment family or if I do not believe that I am qualified to assist you in reaching the goals you outline in your request for therapeutic services. Not everyone is healthy or cooperative enough to accomplish therapy. I may not do therapy with actively abusive members of a marriage, family or relationship. I will provide additional referrals if termination occurs via agreement. If you discontinue therapy on your own or leave session without completing the session, you are terminating therapy yourself and can contact your insurance company for a new referral.
Dual Relationships – Dual relationships between clients and psychotherapy providers are prohibited when they include social, financial or sexual involvement outside of the psychotherapy environment. Should we run into each other when out in the community, I will never reveal our therapeutic relationship. If we end up in the same activities or social groups without intent, we will discuss the situation and will discontinue the therapeutic process if involvement in the other environment appears to be interfering with the effectiveness of the therapeutic process.
Fees and Payment (your insurance sets what is allowable with the remainder written off by preferred providers)
___ Initial Session $ 205
___ Individual/Couple/Family Session $ 155
___ Late Cancellation/No-Show Fee $ 75/ $100
___ Telephone Calls/emails/TEXTS / hour $ 105
___ Statements after the first statement $ 5
Fees for services are expected at the time of your visit. Payment is made directly to me - preferably at the beginning of the session. I will bill your insurance company or EAP company directly for services rendered, if you so desire. If for some reason, there is an over-payment, it will be applied to your account or refunded. As a contracted provider for some insurance companies, the contracted amounts required will be reduced from the amounts charged and you will only be charged what is legally allowed per my contract with your insurance company IF I am a contracted provider for your insurance company. If for any reason other than billing mistakes, you will be responsible for the fees should your insurance company not pay what was anticipated. Disputes arising from billing associated with your counseling services should be first addressed to the billing clerk whose phone number is on your billing statement, and then with me in writing through mail or secure email through the scheduling site.
Consultations – I regularly consult with other professionals regarding clients on my caseloads. This allows me to gain other perspectives and ideas as to how to best help you reach your goals. These consultations are conducted in such a way that confidentiality is maintained.
Confidentiality – Your treatment here is confidential. Information about you can only be released if it is specifically authorized by you with a written Release of Information form. This release is valid for 90 days, and it can be revoked at any time at your request. I am required by law to release confidential information in selected cases. This can occur when there is suspected abuse or neglect of children or dependent adults, a threat or perceived threat of a danger to self or others, or the inability to meet basic personal needs. In some situations, the courts may subpoena treatment records. I also do not return emails or phone calls from friends or family members or acquaintances that attempt to contact me to provide information or request information on your behalf as this would constitute a violation of your privacy. Please be aware that your insurance company and the Washington State Department of Health have the liberty to request a complete copy of your counseling file at any time. If you choose to not have me maintain a file with notes of our visits, a separate form will be required for that request. Any complaints to the Better Business Bureau cannot be responded to as it again, would violate confidentiality.
Be aware that email and cell phone communication can be relatively easily accessed by unauthorized people and the privacy and confidentiality of such communication can be compromised. Emails, texts, faxes and voice messages will be sent to numbers you authorize for communication between us. Please see the Notice of Privacy Practices for the office of Heidi Halsey LMFT.
Health Insurance & Confidentiality – Disclosure of confidential information may be required by your health insurance carrier or HMO/PPO/MCO/EAP in order to process the claims. I have no control or knowledge regarding what your insurance company does with the information. No clinical session notes will be provided to your insurance carrier or HMO/PPO/MCO/EAP, without your additional written consent. Please be aware that the failure to provide required information to the company responsible for claims paying for your counseling may result in the company refusing to pay your claim. Please be aware that in this situation, you will be responsible for all service fees incurred.
Records Requests – We keep a record of the counseling services we provide you. You may ask us to see and copy that record. You may also ask us to correct that record. We will not disclose your record to others unless you direct us to do so or unless the law authorizes or compels us to do so. You may see your record or get more information by making request in writing via written letter mailed to my business address, or through the encrypted email service on my scheduling program. You will then need to complete our Counseling Record Request Form. There are State allowed costs for preparing and making record copies and payment must be completed prior to the record being released to you. You will also be required to pay for record copies requested when you authorize a third party to receive a copy of your counseling records. If you have counseling with any other person, both people and all people involved MUST consent to any person or agency that requests to view or receive a copy of your record, except when I am required to release records required by legal or law enforcement agencies, your insurance company or the Department of Health.
Court Proceedings and Litigation Limitations – It is the policy of this agency to not get involved in court proceedings or to make recommendations regarding parenting or mental health issues in legal proceedings except where retained and compensated as an Expert Witness PRIOR to the FIRST appointment occurring. This document details the agreement that you nor any attorney or anyone else acting on your behalf will call on me to testify in court or at any other proceeding, nor will a disclosure of the psychotherapy records be requested for any legal proceeding including but not limited to: divorce, dissolution, custody disputes, injuries, L & I, lawsuits etc. Should I be subpoenaed on your or your children's behalf in any situation, you acknowledge that I am an Expert Witness and that a retainer of $1500 will be paid with the subpoena to cover the rate of $250 per hour for case review, consultation and testimony if I am so forced.
Appointments – Most therapy appointments are scheduled to last 50 -55 minutes or as otherwise arranged between us. If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, I ask that you call to cancel at least 24 hours in advance. All no show appointments or appointments cancelled less than 24 hours in advance will be charged $ 75 and must be paid by month's end. Unfortunately, I cannot have a flexible policy that allows me to decide to not charge some people for late cancellations because of their situation and charge others with different reasons.
Contact – I do not have time to return phone calls. The quickest way to get into contact with me is to message me through the scheduling system and in emergencies or for rescheduling, via text at 253-446-9222.
Emails – All Emails must be sent using the encrypted emails through my scheduling program at WWW.TheraptAppointment.com. I do not do email therapy and I do not encourage emails. I do not schedule appointments through emails. I will not and cannot respond to emails presenting therapeutic issues, or emails updating me to your situation.
Treatment to Minors – If you are under the age of thirteen please be aware that your parent may examine your treatment records. I will attempt to work with you and your family on your behalf with the permission granted in the 'no secrets agreement' signed by all family members acknowledging that family therapy requires contact and discussion with all members in various formats, all together, some individually, some in smaller units of the family whether or not you are under or over the age of 13, so as to improve your situation individually and within your family.
Emergency Procedures – If you need to contact me between sessions, please leave a message through the secure provider scheduling website. Please additionally consider calling your primary medical health provider, 911, the Pierce County 24 hour Crisis line at 253-798-4333, or present yourself at your local emergency room. If I am out of town, instructions for contacting a provider with the equivalent counseling licensure will be provided on my office telephone answering message. In the event of an emergency, you may also call the Crisis Clinic at (206) 461 – 3222 (King County) or (253) 798 – 4333 (Pierce County), Lifeline 1-800-273-8255, Https://www.crisistextline.org, https://866teenlink.org & phone 866-833-6546, In crisis and in the US? Text HOME to 741741.
Consumer Rights/Ethical Protection – As a consumer you have certain basic rights as follows: you have the right to receive appropriate care and treatment, employing the least restrictive alternatives available; the right to choose a counselor who best suits your needs and purposes; the right to be treated with respect and dignity; the right to receive treatment which is non-discriminatory and sensitive to difference of race, culture, language, sex, age, national origin, disability, creed, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation; the right to an individualized treatment plan reflecting problems and/or needs identified with you; the right to confidentiality; the right to refuse any proposed treatment; the right to review your case record under specified conditions; the right to be free of any sexual exploitation or harassment; and the right to lodge a grievance if you feel you have been violated. Complaints about the work or ethical behavior of any counselor can be directed:
Washington State Department of Health
Health Systems Quality Assurance Complaint Intake
P.O. Box 47857 Olympia WA 98504-7857
(360) 236-4700 http://www.doh.wa.gov/hsqa/Complaint.htm
"Counselors practicing counseling for a fee must be registered or licensed with the Department of Licensing for the protection of the public health and safety. A registration of an individual with the department does not include recognition of any practice standards nor necessarily implies the effectiveness of any treatment."
I (we) voluntarily consent to mental health services provided by Heidi Halsey, LMFT and I understand and have received all policy information including information on consumer rights/ethical protection, disclosure information, confidentiality, appointments, and fees/payment policies.
I (WE) HAVE READ THE ABOVE GUIDELINES PRESENTED TO ME BY Heidi Halsey, LMFT AND AGREE TO AND UNDERSTAND THESE TERMS. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL FEES INCURRED IN COUNSELING AND THAT I AM FURTHER RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL NECESSARY COLLECTION, ATTORNEY AND LEGAL FEES INCURRED IN ATTEMPT TO COLLECT THESE FEES FOR ME, OVER AND ABOVE THE FEES CHARGED. CONFIDENTIALITY IS NOT BROKEN WHEN CLIENTS ARE REFERRED TO COLLECTION SERVICES BECAUSE ONLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION IS RELEASED. Clients assume all financial responsibility for any willful accident or accidental damage done to the property or premises and release Heidi Halsey, LMFT from liability from any physical injury sustained in an accident or during the commission of vandalism or violence.
This written policy is intended to inform you, clients in individual therapy, family therapy, couple therapy, or parents who are requesting services for their minor children, that while I, Heidi Halsey LMFT, agree to work with you, I consider the family, couple, or parent and minor child(ren) [the treatment unit] to be the patient. During the course of work with a couple or a family, I may see a smaller part of the treatment unit (e.g., an individual or two siblings) for one or more sessions. These sessions should be seen by you as a part of the work that I am doing with the family or couple, unless otherwise indicated. If you are involved in one or more of such sessions, please understand that generally these sessions are confidential in the sense that we will not release any confidential information to a third party unless we are required by law to do so or unless we have your written authorization. For instance, if there is a request for the treatment records of the individual, couple or family, I must by law, seek the authorization of all members of the treatment unit before we release confidential information to third parties. Also, if records are subpoenaed, I will assert the psychotherapist-patient privilege on behalf of the patient(s) [the treatment unit]. However, I may need to share information learned in an individual session (or a session with only a portion of the treatment unit being present) with the entire treatment unit – that is, the family, the couple or the parent(s), if I am to effectively serve the unit being treated. I will use my best judgment as to whether, when, and to what extent, I will make disclosures to the treatment unit, and will also, if appropriate, first give the individual or the smaller part of the treatment unit being seen the opportunity to make the disclosure. Thus, if you feel it necessary to talk about matters that you absolutely want to be shared with no one, you might want to consult with an individual therapist who can treat you individually.
This "no secrets" policy is intended to allow me to continue to treat the patient (the couple or family unit) by preventing, to the extent possible, a conflict of interest to arise where an individual's interests may not be consistent with the interests of the unit being treated. For instance, information learned in the course of an individual session may be relevant or even essential to the proper treatment of the couple or family. If I am not free to exercise clinical judgment regarding the need to bring this information to the family or the couple during their therapy, I might be placed in a situation where I will have to terminate treatment of the couple, the family or the minor child. This policy is intended to prevent the need for such a termination. We acknowledge by our individual signatures below, that each of us has read this policy, that we understand it, and that we have had an opportunity to discuss its contents with our therapist and that we enter therapy in agreement with this policy.

Mawangdui ( 马王堆; literally: "King Ma's Mound") is an archaeological site located in Changsha, China. The site consists of two saddle-shaped hills and contained the tombs of three people from the western Han dynasty (206 BC – 9 AD): Marquis Li Cang, his wife, and a male believed to have been their son.
The tombs were made of large cypress planks. The outside of the tombs were layered with white clay and charcoal. White clay layering originated with Chu burials, while charcoal layering was practiced during the early western Han dynasty in the Changsha area. The tombs contained nested lacquered coffins, a Chu burial custom. The tombs also followed the burial practices dictated by Emperor Wen of Han, containing no jade or precious metals.
The eastern tomb, Tomb no. 1, contained the remains of a woman in her fifties (Lady Dai, personal name Xin Zhui). Her mummified body was so well-preserved that researchers were able to perform an autopsy on her body, which showed that she probably died of a heart attack. Specifically, her diet was too rich in sugars and meats, and she suffered from arterial-coronary problems. Buried with her were skeletons of various food-animals, jujubes, lotus soup, grains and a complete meal including soup, rice and meat skewers on a lacquer set. Researchers found honeydew melon seeds in her stomach, inferring consumption right before death. She outlived the occupants of the other two tombs.
Xin Zhui's tomb was by far the best preserved of the three. A complete cosmetic set, lacquered pieces and finely woven silk garments with paintings are almost perfectly preserved. Her coffins were painted according to Chu customs and beliefs with whirling clouds interwoven with mystical animals and dragons. The corpse was bound tightly in layers of silk cloth and covered with a wonderfully painted T-shaped tapestry depicting the netherworld, earth and heavens with Chinese mythological characters as well as Xin Zhui. There was also a silk painting showing a variety of exercises researchers call the forerunner of Tai ji.
The western tomb, Tomb no. 2, was the burial site of the first Marquis of Dai, Li Cang (利蒼). He died in 186 BC. The Han dynasty had appointed Li Cang as the chancellor of the Kingdom of Changsha, an imperial fiefdom of Han. This tomb had been plundered several times by grave robbers.
Tomb 3 was directly south of Tomb 1, and contained the tomb of a man in his thirties who died in 168 BC. The occupant is believed to have been a relative of Li Cang and his wife. This tomb contained a rich trove of military, medical, and astronomical manuscripts written on silk.
Highly regarded artifacts in particular were the lacquered wine-bowls and cosmetic boxes, which showcased the craftsmanship of the regional lacquerware industry.

Get set for vocal fireworks – and actual ones – as the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts in Katonah once again presents its beloved summer festival.
Show-stopping soprano Angela Meade, Caramoor artist-in-residence this season, along with guitarist Jason Vieaux, will be at the heart of the Saturday, June 17 gala. She'll also be featured in the semi-staged production of Bellini's "Il Pirata," celebrating the 20th anniversary of the "Bel Canto at Caramoor" series.
Under the leadership of Director of Opera Will Crutchfield, these events will be anchored by the resident Orchestra of St. Luke's, which returns to close the season (July 30) in company with Principal Conductor Pablo Heras-Casado and pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet. The orchestra also appears under the baton of Bernard Labadie, who is, like Russian piano phenomenon Daniil Trifonov and Broadway star Sutton Foster, one of three major artists making Caramoor debuts this season.
The 72nd season ranges over the musical landscape, from world premieres of new commissions to canonical masterworks, from Argentinean tango to Independence Day bells and whistles. In addition to opera, there will be orchestral, chamber, jazz, world and American Roots music, family programs, young artist showcases and sound artwork.
The summer's chamber lineup includes cellist Edward Arron, the Escher String Quartet, and the St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble in collaboration with the New Yorker's Adam Gopnik, while the Argus Quartet serves as the 2016-17 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence, and premieres a new Caramoor commission from composer Donald Crockett. Headlined by towering jazz pianist McCoy Tyner, the annual Caramoor Jazz Festival is now in the third year of its partnership with Jazz at Lincoln Center, which additionally presents a concert by Butler, Bernstein and the Hot 9.
Rhiannon Giddens and Sarah Jarosz, 2016 Grammy Award nominees, headline the annual American Roots Music Festival, while other American Roots events include an evening with singer-songwriter John Fullbright and later a concert by country legend Emmylou Harris. Family-friendly "Dancing at Dusk" introduces music and culture from around the world, and participants and alumni from Caramoor's numerous young artist programs perform in a variety of concerts. With 90 acres of picturesque Italianate architecture and gardens – just one hour's drive from Manhattan – Caramoor gives day-trippers the perfect pastoral escape from the city, in what The New York Times dubs "bucolic, picnic-friendly settings with a programming philosophy that balances hedonism and exploration."
