After several years in elementary school, many students and their families are proud to celebrate a fifth-grade graduation. A graduation party is one way to mark this occasion. If you're hosting a fifth-grade graduation party, send each guest home with a party favor as a reminder of the event. You can make a variety of fifth-grade graduation party favors to give everyone a one-of-a-kind "thank you." Many of these favors require little more than paper and ribbon to create the personalized present.
Items you will need
- Jar
- Candy
- Ribbon
- Paper
- Hole punch
- Clay pot
- Paints
- Paint brush
- Seeds
- Computer
- Printer
Estimate how many people will be at the fifth-grade graduation party. If the event will only have a few guests, you'll probably have more time to spend making elaborate party favors than if the party will have a few dozen guests. Think about how much time you have, and what kind of materials are available before making the party favors.
Create jars of candy for each guest to take home. Start with small jars, such as clean baby food containers. Remove any labels so that guests can see the contents. Fill the jars with candies in the elementary school's colors. Tie a colorful ribbon around the top and attach a note that thanks guests for coming.
Make bookmarks for guests to remind them of the fifth-grade graduation and also the importance of reading. Start with pieces of paper that are about 2 inches wide and 5 inches long. Draw a unique design on each one, or create one design on the computer that can be printed onto each of the bookmarks. Incorporate some words that tie in the fifth graders and the graduation, such as the school's motto or a quote about the future. Make a hole in the top of each bookmark with a hole punch and tie a colorful ribbon through it.
Give each guest a potted plant that they can watch grow and blossom, just as the graduating fifth graders have grown. A few weeks before the party, decorate small clay pots with paints, coloring them the school's colors or writing on the graduation year. Fill each one with soil and place a seed of your choice inside. Water the seed as directed. By the time of the graduation, the seeds should have begun to sprout. Give one to each guest, along with care instructions for the growing plant.
Present each guest with his own small diploma to thank him for celebrating the fifth-grade graduation. Design the thank-you diploma on your computer in a word processing program. Write "Thank you for sharing our happy day," as well as other sentiments, including "Congratulations to the graduating class of (year)." Print enough of the diplomas for every guest. Roll each one up and tie it with a ribbon.

I dont understand all of the complaints. This is the best chinese food . 109singapore chow mei fun and fried dumplings is delicious.
I would have to say this is the worst Chinese food I have ever tried to eat. 1ST off there menu is completely off. I ordered the pu pu plater; is said it comes with chicken wings and they sent frozen chicken nuggets, it said it came with egg rolls and it didn't, it also said it came with spare ribs and it came with rubber on a bone.The rest of the food was cold and nasty. I called back to complain, she said I will go to the STORE and get you EGG ROLLS, and CHICKEN WINGS and have them sent to you. She did just that and twenty minutes later she send cold stuff again.Then she had the nerve to call me back NINE times and refused to give me my money back. I sent all of the food back with the driver on his FOURTH visit.What did I get for all of this you ask, WELL I GOT A $40.08 BILL...................
I dont understand all of the complaints. This is the best chinese in town. The staff are lovely and yes, they dont speak great English so you may have difficulty when ordering by phone. The restaurant itself is teeny tiny so dont plan on eating on site unless you have a small group and dont care about atmosphere because they are primarily a take-out joint. They have the best almond chicken around and everything we have had has been superb. They are super fast so if you live locally, order for delivery. They seriously will be knocking on your door in about 20 minutes. Its chinese, not thai, not japanese, not trendy asian just simple chinese fare. Not everyone appreciates the little hole-in-the-wall find but if you do, you'll love this place. Give it a try.
1st off ordering on the phone for delivery I felt like I was rushed off the phone and this has happened everytime I've called. 2nd the Mongolian beef wasn't the tinniest bit spicy and it should be called Mongolian onion with all the onion that's in this! I got like 4 pieces of meat! And the pork fried rice was a sad excuse for pork fried rice since there was no pork or anything else in it! The chicken in the chow mein tasted so bland. It was pretty much boiled chicken boiled cabbage boiled carrots and boiled celery and thats it. No spice at all! Ridiculous! All that with an ok egg roll on the side. Won't be ordering from here again. Such a waste of money! All it did was made me want something good to eat!
There aren't that many chinese restaurants around any more, was hoping this would be a good one. Unfortunately, it was kinda greasy.

The Burger Hierarchy:
Five Guys > Fuddruckers (better buns and patties) ~= Red Robin (better toppings and fries) > McDonald's/BurgerKing > Wendy's

This Princess Runs' Profile
After running numerous races in yucky, polyester costumes, I said "enough is enough" I decided to create my own running costumes that were both moisture wicking and functional, all while showing off my inner love for the characters that I love. 15 years of sewing has now allowed me to create these awesome running costumes for others who desire things like I do!.
Currently I love creating running/cycling costumes for those who enjoy dressing up for their events! I also enjoy making every day shirts for those who don't run! A current half marathoner, full time mom of 2, I fully enjoy escaping from reality by creating these masterpieces.
I focus on detail, ensuring that these outfits not only make the runner feel magical, but also keep them dry and cool! I am always inspired by new ideas and am not afraid to take on a challenge!…

There were two balconies, although we didn't use them much because of the humidity levels. The apartments are only a fairly short walk from the main street's shopping and dining facilities, as well as having two pools for relaxation and sunbathing. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and we would have been happy to stay for longer.

Episode 89: The Surprising Ubiquity of Ice in the Solar System and the Staggering Implications for Life, with David Paige
Feature Guest: David Paige There was once a time when scientists believed that beyond the Earth there lied a largely dry, barren and inhospitable solar system. But now we think there is likely to be liquid water below the surface of Jupiter's moons Ganymede and Europa, a warm salty ocean below the crust of Saturn's moon Enceladus and recently NASA confirmed that ancient lakes once flowed on Mars. As the solar system wettens, are we witnessing a paradigm shift with profound implications in our search for life. To help us answer that question today we're joined at The Star Spot by the self-described "professional ice finder" David Paige. Current in Space Did you know human beings are not the only life forms aboard the ISS. Anuj explains. Then Tony builds on last episode's description of a Tatooine-like exoplanet by introducing another Star Wars fan favourite. It seems the Kepler space telescope has discovered an object that is been dubbed the "Death Star" for while it is no battle station it may be just as destructive to nearby planets. About Our Guest

Episode 88: Two's Company: From Binary Stars to Binary Supermassive Black Holes, with Pawel Artymowicz
Feature Guest: Pawel Artymowicz Star Wars fans will be familiar with the planet Tatooine and its two suns. But as it turns out the majority of stars in the Milky Way galaxy live with a companion. And that's led scientists to study how multiple star systems form and develop, and whether they can host habitable planets. To help us understand the behaviour of binary star system and the even more fascinating domain of supermassive binary black holes, the results of merging galaxies, today we're joined at The Star Spot by Pawel Artymowicz Current in Space Anuj shares new evidence that has pushed back the origin of life by hundreds of millions of years. Tony explains what measures scientists are using to predict the likelihood that newly discovered exoplanets are in fact habitable. Dave updates us on NASA's big water on Mars discovery with new analysis which is leading us to believe the red planet was much warmer and wetter than we had thought. And The Star Spot goes to the movies... off to Mars to be exact as Denise reviews The Martian. About Our Guest Pawel Artymowicz is Professor of Physics and Astrophysics at the University of Toronto. He received his Undergraduate degree in Astronomy from the University of Warsaw and his PhD from the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Toronto he was Associate Professor of Astronomy at the University of Stockholm in Sweden. He was the most cited astronomer in Stockholm from 1994 through to 2004. He has also worked as a Research Assistant at the Space Science Telescope Institute and the Lick Observatory in Santa Cruz, California.

Feature Guest: Randy Attwood Nearly a quarter of Americans confuse astronomy with astrology. And barely half know it takes the Earth a year to go around the Sun. Yes, you read that right. Clearly, we have a lot of work to do. Today we're joined at The Star Spot by Randy Attwood. He's Executive Director of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. RASC has been engaged in astronomy education for nearly 150 years. He joins me at a live recording of The Star Spot on location in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Current in Space Evidence for flowing liquid water on Mars has never been found...until now. Then Anuj updates our coverage of what appears to be the discovery of an infant solar system. Finally Tony surveys the worlds of our solar system where we now believe water to exist, in one form or another. About Our Guest Randy Attwood is Executive Director of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada or RASC. He is the publisher of SkyNews, an astronomy periodical recently acquired by the society. Randy is a frequent guest commentator in the media, offering a thoughtful analysis of astronomy and space exploration news and events.

Feature Guest: Wendy Freedman A long long time ago in every place at once, all of this began. But when exactly did the universe begin? And how quickly did it expand into the structure we see around us? Those numbers are more difficult to nail down than we had thought, yet more critical to our understanding of the nature of the cosmos, of dark matter and dark energy, than we could have ever imagined. Today we're joined at The Star Spot by cosmologist Wendy Freedman who recently stepped down after 12 years heading up the development of the Giant Magellan Telescope. Current in Space Anuj wonders if magnetic worm holes will one day transport us to the far reaches of space. And with Pluto data analysis just getting underway, Tony provides the new targets for the New Horizons spacecraft. About Our Guest Wendy Freedman is Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago. Among the world's most influential astronomers, Freedman served as co-leader of the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project and is former director of the Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena, California. She served 12 years as chair of the Board of Directors for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) Project, an optical telescope with a primary mirror 80 feet in diameter scheduled to begin operations in 2021. Freedman is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. She is a recipient of the 2009 Gruber Prize for Cosmology.

Feature Guest: Chris Gainor This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope, which has forever changed the way we look at the cosmos. To help us understand how Hubble proved to be transformational, and for a brief history of the ups and down of our space program, today we're joined at The Star Spot by historian of science and technology Chris Gainor. Current in Space Anuj shares new insights into the emergence of the first galaxies in the universe. And Dave pushes the limits with discovery of a new exoplanet that if you were standing on it might feel a lot like home. About Our Guest Chris Gainor received his PhD in the history of technology from the University of Alberta, and has taught history at the University of Victoria. Chris worked for many years as a journalist, winning a National Newspaper Award. He is the author of four books, including Arrows to the Moon: Avro's Engineers and the Space Race, Canada in Space and Who Killed the Avro Arrow?

"The present legal tender acts were war measures, and while the repeal of those provisions which made the United States notes lawful money is not now recommended, the Secretary is of the opinion that they ought not to remain in force one day longer than shall be necessary to enable the people to prepare for a return to the constitutional currency. It is not supposed that it was the intention of Congress, by these acts, to introduce a standard of value, in times of peace, lower than the coin standard, much less to perpetuate the discredit which must attach to a great nation which dishonors its own obligations by unnecessarily keeping in circulation an unredeemable paper currency. It has not in past times been regarded as the province of Congress to furnish the people directly with money in any form. Their authority is "to coin money and fix the value thereof;" and, inasmuch as a mixed currency, consisting of paper and specie, has been found to be a commercial necessity, it would seem, also, to be their duty to provide, as has been done by the National Currency Act, that this paper currency should be secured beyond any reasonable contingency. To go beyond this, however, and issue government obligations, making them by statute a legal tender for all debts, public and private, is not believed to be, under ordinary circumstances, within the scope of their duties or constitutional powers." — From the "Annual Report of the Secretary of the Treasury," Dec. 4, 1865

About a million passengers who already had bought tickets, and many others who had planned to fly British Airways over the Christmas and New Year holidays, evidently have a reprieve.
A British court, agreeing with British Airways that the strike vote by the union representing more than 13,000 BA flight attendants had "irregularities," issued an injunction barring the strike, which was set to begin next Tuesday and continue through Jan. 2. The union, obviously, is not happy with having the court step in.
Meanwhile, Gatwick, Luton and other airports in Britain are a mess today (and Heathrow operations are slowed). It snowed a little overnight.

Proprietors of Distilled Spirits Plants, Bonded Wine Cellars, Taxpaid Wine Bottling Houses, Brewers, Importers, Wholesale Malt Beverage Dealers, Wholesale Liquor Dealers, and Others Concerned:
PURPOSE. This circular is to advise members of the regulated industries of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) position concerning "tied house" arrangements and "commercial bribery" transactions under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act), 27 U.S.C. sections 205(b) and (c). The circular is issued in light of Foremost Sales Promotions, Inc. v. Director, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 860 F.2d 229 (7th Cir. 1988).
BACKGROUND. The Foremost case arose after an enforcement action by ATF against an industry member for making advertising payments to Foremost Sales Promotions, Inc. (Foremost). Foremost is a marketing company and a loosely fabricated franchise which, for a fee, provides advertising for suppliers' products and independent retail franchisees.
Foremost required payments from suppliers for featured advertising of the suppliers' products and for associated promotional services. While the Foremost retailers neither had control over the products to be advertised nor were obligated to either carry or price the products as advertised, ATF determined that the Foremost retailers regularly honored the advertised prices and stocked most or all of the advertised products, to the partial exclusion of nonfeatured products offered for sale by other suppliers. ATF accepted an offer in compromise in 1981 from a supplier who used the services of Foremost. The offer in compromise was to settle the violations by that industry member of 27 U.S.C. sections 205(b)(4) and (c)(2).
Subsequently, Foremost filed an action in Federal District Court seeking both an injunction preventing the Bureau from taking similar actions against other suppliers and a declaratory judgment that the advertising payments by suppliers to Foremost did not violate the cited provisions of the FAA Act. The court did not issue the injunction.
With respect to the declaratory judgment, the district court ruled in favor of Foremost, and ATF appealed. On appeal, the Seventh Circuit addressed the legal standard for violating sections 205(b)(4) and (c)(2), and concluded that based on the history and purpose of the FAA Act, it should not be interpreted literally. Specifically, the court held that transactions between suppliers and retailers do not "induce" the "exclusion in whole or in part" of competing suppliers' products unless "their purpose or potential effect is to lead to substantial control by the supplier over ostensibly independent purchasers."
DISCUSSION. ATF enforcement policy has been, and will continue to be, based upon the literal statutory language. Section 205 does not, on its face, call for an independent evaluation of either the purpose or the potential effect of any particular trade practice. Further, in accordance with the legislative history of the FAA Act, and in consideration of its purpose, it is our view that Congress, by design, made a judgment and identified in Section 205, those trade practices which would have a detrimental effect on fair competition. Congress, therefore, made such trade practices unlawful where an interstate commerce nexus is present, provided that such practice results in even partial exclusion of any competitor's product(s).
The Court of Appeals decision in Foremost reflects a substantial departure from over 50 years of consistent enforcement of the FAA Act based upon this literal interpretation of both the statute and the elements of an offense. ATF believes the decision is incorrect, and its enforcement policy outside the Seventh Circuit will not change. Within the Seventh Circuit (which consists of the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana), ATF will limit consideration of the Foremost decision to cases under sections 205(b) and (c), the tied house and commercial bribery provisions. We do not interpret the decision as establishing any new standard with respect to exclusive outlet or consignment sale cases under sections 205(a) or (d).
It is not possible to describe how Foremost will affect ATF enforcement policies in cases which would be subject to review by the Seventh Circuit. Both the analysis utilized and the standard established by the court will necessitate a case by case approach. On the one hand, the new standard established by the Foremost case would not bar every type of enforcement action which ATF might bring under the traditional interpretation of the FAA Act. For example, the Foremost decision cites, with approval, the Ninth Circuit decision in Stein Distributing Co. v. Department of Treasury, 779 F.2d 1409 (9th Cir. 1986), where ATF suspended the permit of a wholesaler who supplied retailers with both the diagrams and the labor necessary to restock shelves. However, this new threshold requirement obviously makes it less likely that practices which involve only indirect intrusion into a retailer's operations, such as the cooperative advertising arrangement at issue in Foremost, could be found to violate the FAA Act.
INQUIRIES. Inquiries concerning this circular should refer to its number and be addresses to the Associate Director, (Compliance Operations), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20226.

Powered by 6th gen Intel core i5-6200u processor and 6GB DDR3L RAM, HP 15AY067NR is fast enough for regular computing tasks like working with office programs, web browsing, emailing/skype etc. It also supports streaming videos and movies and casual gaming. You can run photo and video editing programs like Adobe Photoshop and Blender on this laptop. 3D modelling programs like AutoCAD and Solidworks can also be run on this laptop but more memory, faster storage and full HD display are preferable for such applications. You can also consider Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG which is an inexpensive gaming laptop coming with Intel core i5-6200u processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM and 256GB Solid State Drive. It also comes with full HD display (1920 X 1080) which produces more accurate color than standard 1366 X 768 display. The Acer laptop comes with dedicated NVIDIA Geforce 940MX graphics with 2GB DDR5 video memory. So, you will get much better gaming experience with Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG compared to Model: HP 15AY067NR. The Acer laptop comes with backlit keyboard as well which is missing in HP 15AY067NR. Both the laptops come with inbuilt CD/DVD drive. None of these laptops are touchscreen laptop, but you don't really need a touchscreen laptop with Windows 10 operating system. Here is a brief review about specifications and performance of HP 15AY067NR.
Intel core i5-6200u is a 6th generation processor, operating with 2.3GHz of base frequency while the requency can rise up to 2.8GHz. It has 3MB of cache. HP 15AY067NR comes with integrated Intel HD 520 graphics which supports many latest games but all games are not playable at highest setting. For instance, you can play Lego games and Minecraft smoothly on this machine but you will be required to reduce resolution and settings to play XCOM2, Fifa 17 and The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. You can't upgrade graphics. You can consider Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG for your gaming requirements as it comes with Solid Discrete graphics.
HP 15AY067NR come with 6GB DDR3L 1600MHz RAM. There are two memory slots, populated with 4GB and 2GB memory stick. The laptop has 1TB 5400 rpm hard drive which is preloaded with Windows 10 64 bit operating system. The laptop doesn't offer Full version of Microsoft office. You can replace hard drive with Solid State Drive, if you want to speed up things. You can also consider HP 15-ay013nr which offers Intel core i5-6200u processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM and 128GB Solid State Drive. It also has Full HD display (1920 X 1080). Thus, watching movies will be a pleasurable experience in this machine. The laptop costs you little extra but it is worth every penny.
The 15.6" display of HP 15AY067NR offers max resolution of 1366 X 768 pixels and supports 720p content playback but not 1080p. However, with the help of HDMI you can watch Full HD content on external monitor or HDTV
Besides HDMI, it offers 1 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0, 1 HDMI, 1 RJ-45 and 1 headphone/microphone combo. It has a webcam as well. The keyboard comes with dedicated numeric keypad. However, Acer E5-575G-53VG comes with 2 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 3.1 Type C port. It also has one USB 2.0 port. As mentioned earlier, HP 15AY067NR doesn't come with backlit keyboard while Acer comes with backlit keyboard.
HP 15AY067NR offers both wireless and wired network connectivity. Wireless connectivity is supported by wireless ac and Bluetooth while wired connectivity is supported by 10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN. The battery offers up to 5 hours (approx.) of battery backup, depending upon usage.
Final thoughts
HP 15AY067NR is a decent laptop for regular computing. You can use this machine for editing photo and videos and gaming. However, it is not a gaming laptop. Again, it comes with slower hard drive and standard display. If you are looking for something more useful at budget price, which can help in increasing productivity, then Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG could be a better option.

Messi on brink of cracking La Liga's top 3 goalscorer list
A single game was enough for Leo Messi to put the fans back in dreamland and hush the critics. Gone are the suggestions that he is out of form. Now the talk is about him possibly breaking into the top three of La Liga's all-time goalscoring charts this very week.
Messi has racked up 225 goals in 262 appearances since making his debut in 2004, putting him just two behind Di Stéfano (227 in 329) and three behind Raúl (228 in 329). Considering the Argentine's bent for bagging hat-tricks, it wouldn't be much of a surprise were he to surpass the two Real Madrid legends this coming weekend. That would leave him adrift of only Hugo Sánchez and Telmo Zarra, who scored 234 and 251 times respectively.
There is a widespread acceptance that Messi will smash these marks sooner or later and the only question is whether he will jump to the top of the list this campaign or not. The Barça man currently lies 26 goals behind the Basqueman, who plundered his haul at an incredible rate of 0.91 goals a game across 15 seasons at Athletic de Bilbao.
Messi has scored a paltry - for his standards - 11 league goals this term, on top of six in the Champions League and four in the Spanish Cup.

It's been a while since I have written about any recent racial issues our family has experienced. However, sadly, it's not for lack of them happening in our lives, it's simply because I have been crazy busy. I actually have a list I could write about. As each year passes I assume we are going to have fewer and fewer racist problems arise. That is my hope, but not the reality…yet.
A couple of weeks ago we had a very disheartening letter arrive in the mail. It was addressed to our daughter and shocked us all. She just so happened to check the mail that day and was excited to receive something addressed to her. That excitement quickly turned to disbelief after she opened the letter and saw what was inside. We were with two of her friends and she looked at them with wide eyes and handed the letter to me and said, "Mama, what is this?" I read it and thought it was a joke. Then I realized it was far from being funny and was actually filled with hate. We couldn't understand why someone would send such a cruel letter to our house and to her. The hand written return address was from Las Vegas, NV and the postal stamp where the letter was mailed was from Santa Ana, CA. Someone was trying to be tricky but clearly they weren't very bright. After I read it, I handed it to her friends and they read it and said, "Who takes the time to send something like this and who still cares about what color people are?" None of us could wrap our brains around what would possess someone to send a hateful letter to our home.
After the initial shock wore off, the worry started to set in, at least for me. The fact that someone had our address and child's name totally freaked me out. My other concern was how this would affect her. I told her not to let it get her down and that the person that wrote the letter obviously doesn't know her at all because she is achieving all of her goals and then some! She said she knew that but still didn't get why someone would send something so mean.
We went on with our day and the letter hung over our heads like a small dark cloud. At the end of the day when we all got home, I shared it with her daddy. His response was, "I'm surprised it took so long for something like this to show up after all the interracial stories that have been written about our family." To him it's just the reality of our world, and to me it's so sad and has to end!
After the conversation with my husband I shared the letter on Facebook. Everyone was shocked! A police officer friend messaged me and told me to call the local police because the letter is considered hate mail. So I did. The officer came out and said that it could have been from a stranger because of all the articles about our family or it could have been from a bully that was jealous or had issues with our daughter. Either way, hate is hate. He told us to save the letter and to call them if we receive anything else. We are all hoping this was a one time incident.
The irony is, when anything racial happens in our lives it has the EXACT opposite affect that the racist wants it to have. After 20 years of dealing with things like this, our family just gets stronger and stronger. That same night, Tatiana was going to spend the night at her cousin's house and as she walked out the door she sarcastically said, "Okay, I'm leaving now and I'm going out to achieve nothing in life!" We all just laughed! I was so happy to see she was taking it all in stride and was totally confident in herself and all that she is achieving. Smiles all around!
In the end I feel sorry for someone who has so much hate inside they feel the need to send it through the mail in an anonymous letter. The energy it took to write the letter, think about the fake address and send it, all based on hate….what a horrible way to live. I don't wish that on anyone.
We are now MORE determined than ever to live in love and to continue to follow our dreams! I forgive the hate and I hope the letter writer is able to let it go and find love and happiness in their life…sooner than later. That is my dream for them.

Life can get busy. With work, kids, family commitments, friends, chores, and the general chaos of everyday life, it can be near impossible at times to sit down for a cup of tea, let alone squeeze in an hour of exercise regularly.

I recently wrote an article for The Next Family called, "Family-Friendly Films That Feature Adoption and Foster Care," that shared wonderful family films with adoption or foster care story lines. My reasoning behind doing so was because every family deserves a chance to see similar families like theirs represented in various forms of entertainment.
The same can be said of other...

FLORIDA -- Gulfstream Park wants to race all summer, rather than, as it has historically, go dark , the Miami Herald reported.
Gulfstream Park is presently waiting for approval from the state on a six year agreement with Calder Casino & Race Course, which would see a lease arrangement between the two companies, the report said.
The Stronach Group, who own the track are certainly not giving up on horse racing, because the company director Frank Stronach believes in investing in the sport, according to the Miami Herald report.

O | Would you like to know what our product testers think? (Nothing but ENTHUSIASM!) Keep reading for their insights: We've used this mixer, and we love it! The Universal we've had for years has been, and still is, a terrific machine... and this one is substantially better yet! The price point is a little higher but that's how costs typically go, and in this case we're getting more for the extra dollars. The Universal Plus incorporates many features we've wanted for years, AND more that we hadn't asked for -- or even considered. Here's the rundown: |
O | New Styling: A member of the Porsche design team collaborated with Bosch on this exciting new look. It's fresh and dynamic, and one of the things we like best about it is that it retains the unique "iconographic" shape that has long distinguished the Universal from lesser machines. We think it's a big winner. |
O | Higher Capacity: The rated bowl capacity is 6.5 quarts. We'd call that its "air" capacity, though we should describe it as 5.5 quarts usable capacity. A more practical measure is that we've rated the old bowl at 12 lbs. of dough, and this one should hold 15 lbs. because its lid has much better "crown" than the old one. Also, the splash ring has four locking tabs rather than three, and it has a "holding" tab that keeps the splash ring from wiggling loose. |
O | Enhanced durability: It's surprising to be talking about a "more durable" Universal, considering that they've already seemed to last like Methuselah compared to other mixers. But accelerated load testing by Bosch shows that the motor of the Universal Plus will now last four times longer than in the past, and the transmission will last twice as long as the one in the former Universal under heavy kitchen use (the kind of use most Bosch users give their machines.) Universals have been lasting 15-20 years... multiply that times two and we seem to be looking at a machine with a drive train that virtually cannot be worn out. The extra years of life that Bosch has engineered into this machine much more than make up for its additional cost. |
O | Locking Bowl: Finally, this bowl locks onto the base of the mixer. The bowl also has a generous grab-lip. You can lock the bowl on, lift up on it, and securely lift the whole mixer into the air. But to do so, you might want to slide it off the edge of your counter, because the Universal Plus has suction feet! Between the stability that the locking bowl adds, and these nice suction feet, the days of movement on the counter should be long gone. |
O | Same Accessories Fit: Your old accessories will fit onto the Universal Plus. That goes for both the bowl attachment drive, and the blender attachment drive. So you can upgrade to the Universal Plus, and not have to replace any of your accessories. |
O | Higher Performance: The motor has been boosted from an already-strong 700 watts, up to 800 watts, but its power output has been increased even more than the 100 watt difference would seem to indicate, because it has a more efficient design. Remember, wattage really is not an absolute measure of power -- it's a measure of electric consumption. This 800 watt motor is more powerful than most motors with considerably higher wattage ratings. |
O | More Speed Choices... Plus a wider speed range. This machine has four speeds (plus pulse), rather than three speeds. And it has a slower Speed 1, and a higher top speed. |
O | Dishwasher-Safe Whip Drive: The new whip drive cap is plastic, rather than aluminum. The whip axles are still stainless and are now molded into the drive cap, so they won't pull out as could sometimes happen in the past. Washing the old aluminum version in a dishwasher would turn it dark gray very quickly, but that won't happen to the new one on the Universal Plus. |
O | Easy Cleanup: The drive shaft is removable!! In two seconds you can pop the drive shaft assembly out the bottom of the bowl! This is a big help when you need to clean up on those occasions when dough gets into the center column. |
O | New Blender: A new blender design incorporates the superior performance of the old blender, and now includes a lid safety lockout that prevents operation of the motor unless the blender lid is installed. The lid funnel is much larger, allowing big ice cubes to be added with the lid in place. When the blender is not installed, the safety cap must be installed over the high speed drive or the motor will not run. This new blender is not yet available, and we don't expect it to be available until sometime in early 2008. |
O | Hidden Cord Storage: Excess power cord now stores in a hidden cavity. |

The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook
By Joe Hall and Elaine Sullivan

Chapter One
"M" go Blue: Banana Blueberry PancakesWith the summer season, The Black Dog's crew nearly doubles, adding students from across the U.S.A. and even across the pond. Some come to work just one season-others return for several summers. Each leaves memories behind with us. The name of our delicious Banana-Blues recalls a University of Michigan yell.
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour 1/4 cup buckwheat flour 1/4 cup whole wheat flour 2 tablespoons cornmeal (optional) 1 tablespoon sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 tablespoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
DRY INGREDIENTS 2 eggs 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 to 1 1/2 cups of whole milk 1 cup fresh blueberries 1 thinly sliced banana
1. Mix the dry ingredients together in a medium size bowl.
2. In a separate bowl beat the eggs with one cup of milk and the melted butter.
3. Add this wet mixture to your dry ingredients until you have a basic pancake batter. Add the additional 1/2 cup of milk if the mixture is too thick, but don't stir too much or pancakes will be tough.
4. When the batter is ready gently fold in the blueberries.
5. Heat a griddle, adding a little clarified butter or oil. Ladle a five inch circle of batter onto the griddle. Drop a few slices of banana into each circle. Cook pancakes until the tops are covered with tiny bubbles, then flip them over and finish cooking.
6. Serve hot with butter and pure maple syrup.
Favorite Variation: Rasputin's Revenge (named after one of The Black Dog's best dishwashers)
To the basic batter add: 1/2 cup sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Linguine with White Clam Sauce
More than a classic-just taste our version and you'll see why it will always be on The Black Dog menu! If you decide to add the chilis, be sure to wash your hands after mincing them-any contact with your eyes should be avoided.
28 littleneck clams, scrubbed 7 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 small hot chilis, minced (a tasty option) 1/2 cup dry white wine 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 1 to 1 1/2 pounds linguine 1 tablespoon salt freshly ground black pepper to taste
1. Bring six quarts of water to a rolling boil and add 1 tablespoon salt.
2. Open 24 of the clams over a bowl with a sieve to strain the clam liquid. Save 4 clams for garnish. Set the strained liquid aside and chop the clams into a mince.
3. Add the linguine to boiling water. The clam sauce should take the same length of time to cook as the linguine.
4. Sauté minced garlic in the olive oil over high heat, being careful not to burn it. Add the minced chilis if you like a spicy sauce.
5. Add the minced clams and sauté to heat through, then add the black pepper and white wine. Now add the reserved clam liquid.
6. Open the last four clams without detaching the clams from their shells, ad toss them into the sauce. (opening them helps the clams to cook quickly. See "How to Open Clams" on page 118.) 7. Add the parsley and basil. Lower the heat to medium.
8. When the linguine is al dente, drain it and toss it with about half of the sauce. 9. Divide the pasta onto four plates, add the remaining sauce, and garnish each plate with one of the whole clams.
Southwestern Rubbed Strip Steak
Horses always start, they never run out of gas and they will not get you greasy. - Gladiola Montana
Dry rubs-mixtures of salt and ground herbs and spices-not only add flavor to your meats, they also enhance its moisture by helping to seal in the meat juices. We've chosen strip steaks for this recipe, but you can substitute another favorite cut. This rub is also great on pork.
2 tablespoons Ancho chili powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 teaspoons onion powder 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoons cayenne pepper 2 tablespoons Spanish paprika 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon dried marjoram 1 tablespoon kosher salt 2 twelve-ounce strip steaks
1. Mix the dry ingredients together in a pie pan.
2. Dry two twelve-ounce strip steaks and lay them in the pie pan to coat both sides of the steaks with the rub mixture.
3. Broil or grill to desired level of doneness, usually about 4 to 5 minutes a side for medium rare. If Ancho chili powder is unavailable locally, you can make your own by grinding whole Ancho chilis (dry poblano) in your food processor. We serve this at The Black Dog with Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Lime & Chipotle (see recipe on page 185).

A wonderful book with interesting and delicious, easy to understand and prepare recipes. This book is a favorite gift which my friends are always delighted to receive.
I have eaten many times at the resturant. The cook book has many great recipes and good pics, my cooking looked liked the pics. My favorite is the Lemon Basil Chicken Piccata and any thing with ginger. I am enjoying the book and us it more than any of my others. I have given it as gifts . Cant wait for the next. I only wished they had their creme brulee in it.
I was given this book by a friend who had thoroughly enjoyed eating at the Black Dog Restaurant on Martha's Vineyard several years ago in its heyday. Well, as they say, it ain't what it used to be. This book is flashy and remarkably void of substance -sort of a hardcover magazine, only not as current. There were lots of pretty photos of people and places somehow related to the restaurant. There were very pedestrian tips on seafood. As for the rest, well, anyone who is able to read a package ought to be able to add fruit to pancakes or scramble what is essentially an omelet. Of the three recipes I tried only one was declared edible by my family. In short, I am underwhelmed.
This book has not only wonderful recipes but it gives detailed pictures of how to handle ceratin foods. It was extremely helpful in grilling manner. There is a recipe for a chocolate cake that is wonderful. It seems that this is a book for all people.

What the retailer says
Made from our soft drapey linen, this T-shirt is right up there with trench coats and rain boots when it comes to our favorite spring classics. And since the fabric is on the more delicate side, we recommend treating it with a little bit of care (i.e, delicate wash, lingerie bag, etc.). Slightly loose fit. Body length: 24 1/2". Linen.

Receptor with high affinity for TNFSF2/TNF-alpha and approximately 5-fold lower affinity for homotrimeric TNFSF1/lymphotoxin-alpha. The TRAF1/TRAF2 complex recruits the apoptotic suppressors BIRC2 and BIRC3 to TNFRSF1B/TNFR2. This receptor mediates most of the metabolic effects of TNF-alpha. Isoform 2 blocks TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis, which suggests that it regulates TNF-alpha function by antagonizing its biological activity.
