1. To get a good picture of someone they need to be relaxed, and the best way to relax them is to plan the shoot with them.
2. Check out backgrounds together, so they feel part of the shoot.
3. Once you've decided on 2 or 3 backgrounds/locations it will help you with creative block, because you will know where you are going next. Then select clothes together based on which ones you think will work best with the backgrounds you've chosen.
4. Don't "pose" people, they will feel more nervous! Ask them to lean against this wall, or just sit on the floor however they want. Once they do that, you can look at them and decide which bits of them need moving. Or walk around them and see which angle they look best at.
5. Don't get your cameras out until you've done all of the above! People will be much more relaxed if you don't!

The use of Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) is an effective means of identifying, apprehending and prosecuting impaired drivers. Officers trained in National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) curricula-based SFSTs have gained acceptance and approval throughout the United States primarily due to their accuracy and effectiveness. The SFST Instructor Program, done solely by CHP, makes this valuable training available to agencies to train personnel in SFSTs.
The SFST Instructor Course is a comprehensive instructor course. This five-day course is designed to impart the student-instructor with the knowledge and skills for instructing the SFST Course. The 40 hours of classroom training include, but are not limited to, the following subjects:
Concepts of Adult Learning and Teaching
Standardzied Field Sobriety Testing Curriculum
Drugs That Impair Driving Curriculum
Teaching Techniques
Basic Public Speaking
Effective Classroom Presentations
Managing a Live Alcohol Workshop
Student Instructor Presentations
Students should be selected from your agency who are specifically assigned to combating the impaired driver. Students are required to have previous training in SFSTs consistent with NHTSA standards. Additionally, students should possess an active interest in instructing other officers in becoming proficient in the application of SFSTs.
Currently, there is no registration fee to attend the SFST Instructor Course and all the training materials will be provided. Students are required to wear court/business attire for classroom presentations and should bring a laptop computer (although not necessary) which has PowerPoint capabilities. For consideration, please complete a Training Request form and e-mail it to firstname.lastname@example.com, along with your current resume and SFST Certificate of Completion.

An Argentinean classic with middle eastern roots.
Foods you don't want to miss whenever you are traveling in Argentina include asado, locro, mate and exquisite empanadas.
Although the history of empanadas can be traced to middle eastern Iran, Argentina has adopted and adapted this classic filled pastry to make it its own since it colonization in the 15th century, and they are truly unique. Juicy, spicy, fried, baked… you name it, and it can describe an empanada! Every region has their own staple recipe, from juicy sweet meat Salteñas to modern caprese in Palermo, you can find it all.
Empanadas are the perfect compliment to start a pizza feast, as an appetizer for any dish, and accompanied with soup and salad can make for a light but very delish lunch. You can even do small cute empanadas to serve as finger food with a glass of wine or beer at a cocktail party.
This is a very very "easy-pleasy" recipe for empanadas. It calls for pre-made pastry and ingredients that you'll surely have at home in your fridge. They can be prepared ahead and frozen for up to 2 months, and they go straight to the oven, no need to thaw.
Cheese Soufflé Empanadas
Yield: 10 -12 empanadas
- 1 sheet puff pastry, rolled out thin
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (you can use a mixture of parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, any kind you like… you can even just use the grated parmesan cheese that you buy to eat with your pasta)
- ½ tsp garlic powder (according to taste)
- 1 ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- Black peppercorn to taste
- Salt to taste
- Lightly beat the eggs.
- Add salt, pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic and mix.
- Add the grated or shredded cheese, the mixture should still have somewhat of a liquid consistency.
- Roll out pastry thinly and cut into 12-18 cm diameter circles tracing a small plate or bowl.
- Put filling in the center making sure to pinch one side quickly in order to hold in the egg mix
- Folding (important). There are different techniques to folding your empanadas. One very simple method is to water the edges and fold over making edges meet, and then press the edges with a fork. This seals well and looks pretty. Another way (the one you can see in the pictures) is to fold and make end meet, and then you use your fingers to go pinching the edges. You can pinch them with a fork to make sure steam can come out during cooking (don't do this if you're going to fry them).
- Bake in a pre-heated oven for 10 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees F
The result: you should have a cheese soufflé like filling inside a golden crunchy pastry.
Next time I'll teach you how to make your own pastry and go really Argentine style with groundbeef filling (a couple of options from different regions).
An extra tip for perfect empanadas… very well preheated oven, and making sure you don't have any air inside when you fold your empanadas.

Suggested Wine Pairings
Thanks again to Luz for her recipe. My suggested pairings for this dish are crisp, acidic wines, like Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, or a more neutral white wine, like an Orvieto or Grechetto that has been slightly oaked. A Chardonnay that has been fermented in steel would also work nicely if you are looking for a more full-bodied wine to pair with this dish; it would also compliment the richness of the pastry.
I would probably stick to white wines with such a rich, cheesy dish, but if you are looking for a red, try a really floral Pinot Noir, and stay away from really tannic wines like Cabernet Sauvignon: the tannins will kill the more subtle flavors and textures from the souffle-like texture of the filling.
Thanks again to Luz for her recipe! We are looking forward to many more!If you like this recipe, check out the rest of our recipes HERE!

Twenty thousand children will wake up on December 25 hungry, knowing they will not get to eat a Christmas dinner. It is a scandal which beggars belief in 21st century Britain.
So today we are asking YOU, our army of readers, to help end this shame and save Christmas for thousands of poverty-stricken families with our foodbank appeal .
Yesterday pop star Jessie J backed our campaign and vowed to visit a food bank to support the work they do.
The Price Tag singer said: "It's crazy that so many families and especially children are going hungry in the UK in this day and age.
"We are surrounded by so much wealth yet so many people are falling through the gaps. It's unacceptable that this is happening in 2013.
"At this time of the year when we are all thinking of friends and family and giving to those we love we need to take a minute to think about those who are struggling to make ends meet.
"Please join me in bringing some relief to families by donating to your local food bank."
You can join Jessie in the Sunday Mirror and our sister paper the Daily Mirror's major campaign with the Trussell Trust , which runs 400 food banks across the UK.
Throughout December we will be asking you to dig deep and support these lifeline services in a bid to Give Our Kids A Christmas.
We need people to donate cash which will help ensure food banks are able to provide meals for the record numbers of people needing their help.
And we are also hoping to distribute toys to children who otherwise would have nothing on Christmas Day.
The fight comes as a new report reveals 60,000 people face hunger this Christmas – a third of them children.
It is a disgrace which we are also taking to the door of the Prime Minister by asking readers to sign a petition demanding an emergency debate.
Yesterday Chris Mould, boss of the Trussell Trust food banks , said: "We're delighted the Sunday Mirror and Daily Mirror are on our side in a fight we simply have to win.
"The deeply distressing reality this Christmas is that thousands of families will struggle to put food on the table.
"We're already meeting parents who are choosing between eating and heating, and rising fuel prices mean that this winter is looking bleak for people on the breadline."
In the weeks ahead the Sunday Mirror and Daily Mirror will be highlighting the inspirational work food banks and their brilliant volunteers carry out .
We will also be joined in our campaign by several other household names.
Latest figures indicate one in five Britons have skipped meals in the past year because they cannot afford food.
And 40 per cent of households have seen their financial situation worsen, according to research by Tesco .
More than 350,000 needy people were given three days' emergency food by the Trussell Trust between April and September – more than the total helped in the whole of the previous year.
Strict rules stop families becoming dependent on food handouts. People can only be referred by agencies, and cannot just turn up and ask.

Metroid Prime 3: Epic, Lengthy, And FunReviewing: Nintendo Wii Metroid Prime 3: Corruption | Rating:
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is arguably the best game in the Metroid series. And that's saying a lot, especially after such gems like Super Metroid and the original Metroid Prime. The same shooter and adventure based gameplay that you've come to know and love is back, with a whole bunch of new bells and whistles to keep you entertained.
The controls in Metroid Prime 3 are amazing. Easily better than any console FPS controls, and maybe even better than a keyboard and mouse setup. To match that, the graphics look amazing as well. This is one of the Wii's best looking games, only matched by Super Mario Galaxy. And the score and soundtrack is a great accompanyment to the gameplay.
This game may not be appropriate for young kids, but teenagers and adults will love this game. Overall, it's a polished, fun game that FPS fans will love. This game is a must own for Nintendo's Wii console.

Reagan Attorney General Meese: Impeach Obama Over Guns
Ed Meese would like to impeach President Obama if he takes action on gun violence.
Meese said Congress may have to consider impeaching Obama if he were "to try to override the Second Amendment in any way" with an executive order. He did allow that there are some executive actions related to guns that Obama could take wouldn't be impeachable.
"It would be up to the Congress to take action, such as looking in to it to see if, in fact, he has really tried to override the Constitution itself," Meese told Newsmax. "In which case, it would be up to them to determine what action they should take — and perhaps even to the point of impeachment."Click here for reuse options!

Homeowners, decorators and boat owners choose teak for patio furniture, interior furniture, floors, marine decks and accents because teak is extremely durable. Teak is highly resistant to rot and insect damage. Teak stands up extremely well to harsh marine conditions and changes in weather and temperatures. Teak patio tables and chairs can be an expensive option, but because of teak's durability is certainly worth the investment. Teak will outlast any other wood option. Boat manufacturers use teak for all types of decks including swim decks along with teak fishing pole holders and storage cabinets. Again, they use teak because it will stand up to ocean or fresh water without disintegrating.
Even though teak is highly durable, stable and long lasting, it will weather. Teak begins as a rich, beautiful honey brown color. Exposure to constant changing weather conditions or exposure to ocean or fresh water will cause the teak to turn from honey brown to a silver gray color. The change in color is normal and part of the teak's aging process. The sliver gray color does not mean the wood is weak, it will remain strong and sturdy.
In some cases, over time and exposure to constantly changing weather, teak may crack if it isn't properly cared for and maintained. Cracks and splits, although rare, can be fixed. Many homeowners and boat owners don't like the silver gray color and much prefer the honey brown – silver gray teak can be restored and the color be brought back to the rich honey brown color.
Generally, teak is finished in two basic ways – oil or varnish. Typically, floors and boat decks are finished with varnish or sealer to protect the surface from stains. Patio furniture and other teak pieces in most cases will have an oil finish.
Cleaning Outdoor Teak Patio Furniture
Lightly spray the teak surface with the water from a garden hose to wash off salt residue and surface dirt. If you are cleaning patio furniture, thoroughly saturate the grass, flowers and shrubs around the area where you are cleaning the furniture to protect the greenery and flowers from the teak cleaner.
Put on eye protection and gloves.
Apply a specialized teak cleaner and restorer to a soft bristled nylon brush.
Scrub the wood surface in a circular motion beginning at an edge and working toward the opposite edge.
Thoroughly rinse the surface and let the teak dry fully.
If any stains remain on the teak, clean those areas a second time with the teak cleaner, rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry.

Teak Patio Furniture Repair
Inspect the tables and chairs for loose screws or nails. Fit the appropriate screwdriver into the screw head and drive screws back into place. Hammer nails back in place.
Look at all of the joinery on leg, arms and backs. If any of the joinery is loose – tighten it.
Examine all of the wood surfaces for cracks. If you should find any cracks, rub the crack and surround wood with bronze wool to remove any splinters.
Mix a two part, marine grade epoxy repair putty on a disposable plastic plate or in a small plastic cup. Marine grade epoxy repair putty holds up better to changing weather conditions and will allow the wood to expand and contract without splitting or letting go from the edges of the cracks.
Amazon Price: Too low to display Buy Now
(price as of May 24, 2016)
Scoop up the repair putty on a flexible, plastic putty knife.
Press the epoxy putty deep into the cracks. Apply several thin layers of epoxy putty to buildup the repair so it sits slightly higher than the teak surface.
Let the epoxy repair putty dry for three to four hours.
Wrap a sheet of 220 grit sandpaper around a sanding block.
Sand the surface of the repair putty, following the direction of the surrounding wood grain. Never sand against the grain or perpendicular to it because the wood will become fuzzy. If the surface of the teak table or chairs is rough, sand all of the wood surfaces to smooth them.
Sweep away any sanding dust from the wood surface. Wipe the patio furniture with a tack rag to pick up remaining bits of dust.
Wrap 320 grit sandpaper around the sanding block and sand the teak repair or entire surface a second time.
Clean off all sanding dust and wipe the surface with a tack rag.
Finishing and Protecting the Teak Patio Furniture Surface
Pour teak oil into a small bucket or shallow tray.
Amazon Price: $12.68 Buy Now
(price as of May 24, 2016)
Place a clean soft rag into the teak oil to saturate it.
With rubber gloves on and eye protection on – pick up the rag and wring out the teak oil so the rag remains very wet but no longer dripping.
Fold the rag in half and in half again to create a flat pad.
Place the teak oil soaked rag at the edge of the wood surface and move it over the wood in a straight line. Turn the rag over when the rag stops depositing oil onto the wood surface.
Continue to submerge the rag into the teak oil, gently wring out the rag and apply teak oil until all surfaces of the patio furniture are covered in oil.
Wait five minutes and apply a second coat of teak oil to all surfaces of the patio furniture.
Continue to saturate the rag with teak oil, wring it out slightly, apply the oil to the wood and wait fie minutes until the teak no longer accepts more oil. You will know when the wood is saturated with oil when the wood surface looks shiny, slick and oily.
Teak Patio Furniture Cleaning, Care and Maintenance Tips
Keep the patio furniture oiled to maintain the rich honey brown color.
Clean the wood surfaces often with a gentle spray from a garden hose.
Perform a deep and thorough cleaning in the spring.
Clean up spills as soon as they happen to prevent staining, although well oiled teak patio furniture won't absorb stains as readily as untreated wood surfaces – it's better to be safe than sorry.

Schoolgirl left red-faced after being voted 'most likely to appear on Jeremy Kyle'
A GIRL was presented with a school certificate which dubbed her "the most likely to appear on the Jeremy Kyle Show".
Abbie-Jade Newbold, 16, was left red-faced on her final day at secondary school.
Her dad Craig said: "Abbie was embarrassed, it was in front of the whole group.
"People have taken photos and now it's all over Facebook and Instagram. We have no idea why she got the award.
"People like a laugh but this is unfair and embarrassing for the family too. She's just not that type of person."
"This is unfair and embarrassing for the family too"Craig Newbold
Craig said teachers at Bishopsgarth School in Stockton-on-Tees, Co Durham, "laughed about it", but he asked: "What sort of teaching is that?"
Abbie's certificate reads: "Bishopsgarth's most prestigious Awards 2016: Most likely to appear on Jeremy Kyle."
Abbie, who is planning to study hair and beauty at college, said two students – one boy and one girl – were given a certificate labelling them "most likely to become a nun".
Other students were dubbed "the smartest" or "the quietest".
Craig said headteacher Mike Henderson told him it was all just a "bit of fun" after he complained, but he added: "It's not funny to me."
The school made no comment despite being contacted numerous times.

Question. I'm about to build the welded aluminium shell for my feather, but I have a choice between either '5083 O' or '6082 T6' ally. Which one would be the better option?
From what I understand, 6082 T6 is stronger as a material but weakens significantly by welding, I'm just not sure whether it reaches a point where it becomes weaker than 5083 O.

Anyway. My wife and I were shopping for a VCR to DVD conversion package and my youngest son wanted an MP3 player like his older brother. Looking online, Frys had an MP3 player - 1 gb, white - for $20. My youngest had saved up his money and he had just that amount. So off we went.
Frys Failure #1: Poor Inventory Management. We found the VCR / DVD Conversion packages in the software department. Usually these packages have a hardware component that sits between your VCR and PC, plus software. That's exactly what we were looking for. Unfortunately I kept looking and found more packages - different packages - in the graphics card section of hardware. Same type of hardware / software solutions located in two different departments.
It gets better.
We collected the packages that looked like they may do the trick and asked an employee for help. Did this package have all the cables? DId that package have a certain type of cable? [Insert sounds of crickets. Hello?!?] We asked if they had a computer that had Net access so we could look up the specs. "Sure," they said, "in the Service Department." So off went to the Service Department.
The Service Department is incorrectly named because it's the last thing you'll get there. The person helping us said that they did have a computer with Net access - the one right behind him. But because some of the packages we wanted to look up were from the software department we'd have to get an employee from that department to stand with us while we used that machine.
Frys Failure #2: Clueless Customer Service Read that last paragraph again. The Service Department employee wanted us to get another employee to come stand with us while we looked online for a review?!? Un - freaking - believable.
Scrap getting the conversion package until we do more homework. Now for the Mp3 player and I have to say right off that my youngest kid showed the heart of a lion. As I will soon relate, he got disappointed not once but thrice and proved the better between us.
As I mentioned earlier we had found online an MP3 player - 1 gb, white - $20. We found it in stock in the flash drive hardware aisle, for $30. Same exact item - $10 more. That was the first disappointment. An employee came to help and I asked about the pricing discrepancy, he said that the online prices differed from the store prices because when you buy online you have to return it online instead of to a store. Huh?!?
Frys Failure #3: Poor Business Model Between Store and Online - that's all I'll say about that.
We noted that directly above the plethora of the $30 MP3 players the exact same model in black for $20, except they were out. The employee went to the back to see if they had any more but no. Sold out and no more expected, and - no - he couldn't sell us the white model for $20. My kid did the big eyes and quivering lips but to no avail. Second disappointment yet with a barb back. My kid said loudly that he'll find what he wants online from another store.
Frys Failure #4: Powerless Employees.
My wife had wandered off. She was in the radio aisle where she found - lo! and behold - MP3 players. On sale they had a 2 gb MP3 player/flash drive for $20. My kid was thrilled.
Frys Failure #5: Employees Who Don't Know What's On Sale. It's bad enough when you have the same items in two different departments but the problem gets compounded when your employees don't know that much less what's on sale.
We got the MP3 player and plugged it into the computer to download songs. Uh-oh! Norton says there's a virus on it but that it's been quarantined. Still, it comes right up as a flash drive and we copy some MP3s to it. Now insert a new battery and...nothing. It won't play or light up. Try another new battery and same result. Insert it back into the computer and nothing. Piece of junk and the final disappointment for my brave-hearted kid.
So today after work I suffered the hell that is the Frys Return. Honestly it wasn't too bad a wait but when I mentioned that I really wanted the $30 MP3 player and explained the whole scenario, I could hear those crickets chirping. I asked about whether they price match (they do) but they won't match their own online prices.
What an aggravating, pain-in-the-ass store. I was there when they opened in Woodland Hills. They had horrible service then and they still have horrible service.
Hello Frys! It's more than having the employees smile, it's about doing the right thing by the customer, about having your inventory ass-ets together, about getting past the nonsensical and illogical policies. You may be profitable but how much more so if you only had your collective crap together.
Meanwhile there's a disappointed 8-year boy who smiled throughout the ordeal. He will be shopping elsewhere.

We are trapped on a desert island. There are four of us total, but that might not be the case if Rebecca can't find any mochi ice cream. Every day Lloyd makes a roaring fire while Michayla combs the endless beach for signs of a boat. I have spent the last four days trying to make beer from insects and banana leaves to no avail.

Although in most cases Paxil withdrawal symptoms last a matter of days, in severe situations they can endure for several weeks. The period of withdrawal depends on the patient's physiology along with the dosage he was taking prior to cessation.
An article in Advances in Psychiatric Treatment reports that most former Paxil patients experience mild withdrawal symptoms of short duration. However, in a minority of cases the symptoms are extremely disruptive, uncomfortable and long-lasting.
According to an article in Psych Central, Paxil withdrawal symptoms often include flu-like symptoms, headache, faintness, gastrointestinal stress and the sensation of electric shocks in the head and extremities. These are all attributed to SSRI discontinuation syndrome or SSRI withdrawal syndrome. Paxil is one of several SSRIs, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, a handful of which are potent and quick-acting enough to cause withdrawal symptoms in those who suddenly quit taking them. In severe cases, Paxil withdrawal has caused extreme anxiety and resulted in those experiencing the symptoms visiting emergency rooms for relief.
WebMD recommends that patients who take Paxil consult with their physicians to discuss tapering down on their intake, rather abruptly discontinuing taking the medicine. Often a tapering program eliminates or significantly decreases unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

#1 Practice
Ironically, this was number one on the last Lessons post I did too. Either I haven't internalised the lesson or this is just so applicable across the board! Flipping through the various notepads and scrap paper I used to scribble on, it is so visible at a glance how my penmanship has improved. Sometimes the learning curve is jagged. Using a new brush can take me back to step zero before I learn how to use it well. Hand-lettering when I am tired has been proven to be a bad idea- I cannot hold the pen steady, I get lazy with strokes, et cetera. But on the whole, it is very fulfilling to look through these roses of yesterday and feel so very consciously how far time can take you- especially since I tend to doodle whatever is on my mind, so my state of mind and worries are very visible from the practice pages!
#2 Adventure
This is about not being afraid to try new things. I still get too crazy when I see new brushes in the stores. (This is probably bad for my wallet.) But, even with the brushes I have, I like to scroll through Pinterest and Instagram to get inspiration of new hand-lettering styles to try. Hand-lettering for a year has taught me that I do have a style I fall back on when casually doodling, but it has also taught me that my hand can learn new styles as long as my brain is up to it! Sometimes this involves practising writing a single letter differently; sometimes this involves going crazy on flourishes (which I haven't mastered yet, sadly and frustratingly); and sometimes this involves totally changing the picture and writing in completely different handwriting. Some of these adventures have incorporated themselves into my fallback style, which is fun to watch.
#3 Mistakes
I've learnt to go with the flow a lot more with hand-lettering. Sometimes, a little quiver can really make a piece! This was especially so every time I tried a new brush and wasn't used to controlling it. I'd shake a little, or apply a little less or more weight than I ought to, and the words would come out differently. But sometimes these mistakes really make the words turn out more beautifully than even I intended- and ironically, I'd try to make the mistake intentionally the next time round!
#4 Patience
Closely linked to practice, but not quite: this is more about learning to go really slow when writing. I used to rush. Sometimes I still do, when I'm frustrated, or when I've an idea in my head which I cannot wait to execute. But I have learnt (and I thank Instagram videos a lot for this) that sometimes, the best-paced pieces- those where the words fall together nicely, where there are flourishes which just flow perfectly- take time to do. Sometimes you have to lift your pen off the page and pause and reassess. Sometimes you take really long just to write one short word! And that's okay. In fact, that's great.
#5 Share
The final lesson I learnt is super important. I don't hesitate to credit a lot of my learning to Instagram users who, apart from posting really inspirational masterpieces, also were very forthcoming in answering questions and imparting advice to amateurs like myself. These ranged from the very Beginner-type questions ("what kind of brush pens would you recommend for someone just starting out?") to the community kind ("where did you find this in Singapore?"). A lot of times, it's just, "What pen are you using?" And watching others use the same instruments you have, but in wholly different and amazing ways, is crazily inspirational as well.

Another side to sharing- sharing your journey with those who are on the same page, or just starting out, too. I'm learning a lot from chatting with friends who are similarly trying out hand-lettering. And now, I'm hoping to learn more by setting down these lessons on a page.

Luke 19:23-27 King James Version (KJV)
23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

Food: *** 1/2 (3 1/2 stars)
Service: *** (3 stars)
Atmosphere: ** (2 stars)
Rob Wecker, one of the owners of the Iron Bridge Wine Company, says he thinks of his wildly successful wine bar and small-plates restaurant as a "Cheers with wine," referring to the Boston bar in the 1980s TV show of the same name. By that, he means he and his brother Steve had in mind a place reasonably enough priced that people could come three times a week, instead of waiting for a special occasion. The Iron Bridge caters to regulars, and the staff will probably greet you by name if you eat there more than occasionally.
The brothers wanted to make their wines accessible, so there are categories like "Because I'm Easy (to Drink) Reds" and an "Anything But Chardonnay" flight. The list is short and international, and you pay retail, plus a $5 corkage fee, if you open the bottle on the premises. (The Iron Bridge is also a retail shop, and shelves of wine line the walls of the lounge.)

GROTON - Aformer School Committee member said she has received threatening phone calls after her letter objecting to the Groton-Dunstable Regional High School Chamber Chorus' performance at Easter Mass at St. Anthony's Basilica in Padula, Italy, prompted its cancellation. "They say it's because I'm Jewish," said Leslie Lathrop, who filed the complaint. "I'd do the same for any religion."
Her goal was to make the school district and community understand that they cannot pick and choose which parts of the U.S. Constitution they adhere to, she said. Children are more impressionable and arranging for them to sing at a religious service, in this case the Easter Mass during a school-sponsored tour of Italy and Croatia, implies that the school endorses a religion, Lathrop said. That would violate the endorsement clause" in the First Amendment which states that government cannot endorse a religion.
"I have no objection to kids singing in a basilica," she said. But singing during a Mass is a different thing.
Her objection has a history. This is not the first time she has objected to the group singing at a Mass.
"I really think it was the district that set the kids up for disappointment, not me," Lathrop said.
After the 2014 trip, she saw the chorus had performed at a Mass in Italy and thought it was inappropriate. The then-principal agreed with her and told her it would not happen again, she said.
When she saw the 2017 performance listed on a fundraising flier this fall, she contacted both the new principal, Michael Woodlock, and then-Superintendent Kristan Rodriguez.
"I got a little frustrated," she said.
That is when she reached out to Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
In November, the Washington, D.C.-based group sent a letter and after consulting with legal counsel, the district canceled the performance.
When that happened there was a bit of suspicion that the complaint came from her, Lathrop said. "I 'fessed up to it. It was the right thing to do."
Since then, she has been forced to screen her calls and made a complaint to the Police Department about threats, she said.
"I'm very sad about the reaction of the community," she said. "It's been very nasty."
Lathrop said her Jewish faith has nothing to do with her objections. She's not a fan of any religious involvement in public life.
When an interfaith group wanted to put a Jewish sukkah, a temporary hut used during the festival of Sukkot, on the town common, she objected. It should be on private property. "Oh, you're right," they responded to her.
When the new high school was built, she advocated for a change in the mascot. The Crusader, with a cross on the shield, was religious in nature to her. Another School Committee member criticized her for this, saying something about Muslims getting killed, Lathrop said.
In what Lathrop called a baby step, the cross was removed from the logo.

The Natural Beauty of Reclaimed Wood
A common concern when designing your home can be accidentally creating The Over-Editorialized Space: you've added so many well-styled elements that it begins to read as more of a "look, don't touch" setup, rather than a comfortable home. Any easy remedy for this? Taking a more natural approach.
Reclaimed wood is kind of an interior design savior. Whenever you feel like your space is looking too cold (like after adding a lot of hard, metallic or monochromatic materials), wood brings in a touch of warmth and much-needed texture.
Aesthetics aside, swapping in reclaimed wood instead of another material is a smart and sustainable choice. Much like with vintage furniture, reclaimed goods often have character and history that you can't replicate with mass-produced materials. And yes, they still look good, because you don't need to sacrifice style to be eco-friendly.
Since no one wants to turn their home into a forest, gradual addition is key. Little things like a cutting board, knife block and wall art don't require a big purchase or style commitment, and can be easily worked into your existing decor.
You know you're committed to a look when you're ready to punch holes in the wall. Get organized (and Earth-conscious) with coat racks, wine racks and shelving all made from beautiful reclaimed wood.
These reclaimed wood pieces are as functional as they are beautiful. The bold geometric lines on this headboard, flat file and console give you all of the edge of modern design, plus a little bonus of knowing you've done your recycling duty. Mother Earth said she's proud.

As the Olympic opening ceremonies were about to begin in Rio - a time for the international community to celebrate togetherness and peace - the Lebanese team allowed regional hatred to flare. Yediot Achronot reports that the delegation from Lebanon refused to let the Israeli team ride to the ceremony on a shared bus:
The Rio 2016 Olympic Games began on a sour note for the Israeli delegation, but not one relating to the actual competition. When the delegation was ready to board the bus to the Maracana stadium in the Brazilian city, they were physically prevented from doing so by the Lebanese delegation, already aboard, according Israeli sailor Udi Gal.
"The 2016 Olympics – a disgrace!!" wrote Gal in a Facebook post. "(When) Israel's Olympic delegation got ready to board the bus for the opening ceremony, it turned out the bus was shared with the Lebanese delegation. Once the members of the Lebanese delegation realized they were (sharing the bus) with the Israeli delegation, they asked the driver to close the door, with their delegation leader heading (the effort)."
Gal claimed that the organizers tried to calm things down. "The organizers tried to split us up to different buses, something which was not possible security and representation-wise," he wrote, "I insisted and we insisted that we get on the intended bus, and if the Lebanese don't want (to ride with us), they are welcome to get off (of it). The bus driver opened the door, but this time the head of the Lebanese delegation blocked the entrance with his body. The organizers tried to prevent an international incident and sent us aside to a special (vehicle)."
Gal was surprised the organizers gave in to the pressure, writing, "How is it that they let something like this happen, and on the opening night of the Olympic Games? Isn't this the opposite of what the Olympics represent and (don't the actions by the Lebanese delegation) work against it? I cannot describe the way I feel. I'm enraged and shocked by this event."

BBC Trust Should Be Abolished, License Fee Replaced, U.K. Parliament Report Says
The governing body of the public broadcaster "has failed to meet expectations," while the fee on TV homes should in the medium-term be replaced by a levy on all households.
A committee of the U.K. parliament said in a report on the future of the BBC on Thursday that the BBC Trust, the public broadcaster's governing body, should be abolished and that the license fee that British TV homes pay should eventually be replaced by a levy on all households.
The BBC Trust "has failed to meet expectations and should be abolished," while the license fee must be replaced over the medium term.
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee of the House of Commons said in a summary of the report, published just after midnight, that the BBC is "still a valued and important feature of national life but in need of stronger governance and more challenging, independent oversight if it is to be held accountable." The BBC Trust is led by recently named chair Rona Fairhead.
"The BBC Trust should be abolished and new arrangements made for the governance, regulation and oversight of the BBC," the report summary said. "The BBC should have a unitary board with a non-executive chair, who would be known as the BBC chairman."
In addition, "a new rigorous and independent Public Service Broadcasting Commission (PSBC) should be established with the role of scrutinizing the BBC's strategic plan, assessing the BBC's overall performance, and determining the level of public funding allocated to the BBC and others."
The report also said that there was "no long-term future in the license fee" that TV homes must pay and set out advantages of a broadcasting levy for all households similar to the one used in Germany, but said a new funding system was only likely after 2020. "In the short-term there is currently no better alternative to the license fee but as a minimum the license fee must be amended to cover catch-up television as soon as possible," it said.
The report added: "A broadcasting levy on all households is the preferred alternative but a degree of subscription for BBC services could be a possibility in the future."
The report comes as the BBC prepares to negotiate a new royal charter to replace one that expires at the end of 2016. The charter sets out its public duties, ensures its independence and sets out the duties of the BBC Trust and the BBC executive board. The cross-parties report will play a key role in the debate over the next charter.
The parliamentary committee concluded: "There are major questions to be answered about what justifies the close to £4 billion ($6.2 billion) of public money spent on the BBC, and on what the scope and scale of its activities should be. Moreover, there is a danger that the BBC will, by accident or design, crowd out smaller rivals and inhibit their ability to prosper."
Committee chair John Whittingdale said: "Over the last few years the BBC has suffered from a succession of disasters of its own making, yet it remains a widely admired and trusted institution, and fulfills many important functions both at home and abroad. However, when an organization is in receipt of nearly £4 billion of public money, very big questions have to be asked about how that money is provided and spent, and how that organization is governed and made accountable."
He added: "In the short term, there appears to be no realistic alternative to the license fee, but that model is becoming harder and harder to justify and sustain."
The report also argued: "The BBC has tried for too long to provide 'something for everyone': it should reduce provision in areas where others are better placed to deliver excellence and better value for money, and make bigger, braver decisions on its strategy."

The Pecos Eagle girls' golf team had a good round Monday, but the Andrews
and Snyder squads had great rounds on the opening day of the Region I-4A
Pecos shot a 323 Monday at Riverside Country Club in San Angelo, but find
themselves in the same place they were at the season-opening San Angelo Invitational
tournament, in fourth place, behind the Mustangs, Tigers and Southlake Carroll.
Andrews was expected to win the 36-hole tournament and hold the lead with
a 298 opening round, but Snyder stayed right with the Mustangs, and are at
303, five shots behind Andrews but 20 in front of Pecos in the race for the
second Class 4A state playoff berth.
Meanwhile, Pecos' boys were unable to cut their scores at Quicksand Golf
Course from their last trip to San Angelo and shot a 342, putting them in
12th place in the 16-team regional tournament.
Andrews and Snyder finished 1-2 at regionals a year ago, and while Pecos
placed fourth in San Angelo back in February, the Eagles did finish ahead
of the Tigers in tournament play at Big Spring a week later. But on Monday
four of Snyder's five golfers broke 80, while only Lauren Martinez, with
a 76, did the same for Pecos.
The Eagles are also 11 shots in back of Southlake Carroll for third place,
after they shot a 312 on Monday. Carroll also has the current individual
leader, Calais Gardner, who shot an opening round 68. Granbury, which placed
ahead of Pecos `A' last year at regional, is in fifth place with a 330 total.
Martinez' 76 ties her for seventh in the medallist race going into today's
final round. She was followed by Cassie Foster with an 81, Sarah McKinney
with an 82, and both Candace Hilliard and Brandi North, who shot 84s.
Pecos and Southlake Carroll were the only schools to qualify both their
`A' and `B' teams for regionals. The Eagles' `B' team currently in 12
th place, following a round of 376 on Monday. Dena Dutchover led the
`B' team with a 90, and was followed by Jennie Canon with a 93, Kristian
Aguilar with a 94, Bianca Mendoza with a 99 and Kattie Davis with a 106.
Southlake Carroll's `B' team is in 13th place with a 384 score,
and the Eagles `B' team is six strokes behind Wichita Falls Rider, which
shot a 370.
Rider and Granbury lead the boys division, after shooting 298 and 301
scores on Monday, while Southlake Carroll is at 303 and Snyder is at 304.
The Eagles' 342 total is 12 strokes behind 11th place Dumas and
eight shots in front of the 13th place team, El Paso Burges.
None of the boys were able to break 80 on Monday, with Casey Breiten turning
in the best round of the day, an 81, followed by David Bradley at 82. After
that it was Pete Vasquez with an 88, Michael Nichols with a 91 and Jake McKinney
with a 92.
Coach Kim Andrews swapped around his `A' and `B' team golfers prior to
district in order to get both squads to San Angelo, then moved them back
for regional competition. The `B' team ended up shooting a 398 on Monday
and are last among the 16 teams, 11 shots in back of El Paso Ysleta.
Individually, Jack Stickels shot an 88, Sal Nichols had a 92, Jacob Gonzales
shot a 101, Andre Varela shot a 117 and Dustin Gulihur shot a 120 for the
`B' team's opening round scores.
There were only two upsets on the opening day of the Region I-4A tennis
tournament, and unfortunately for the Pecos Eagles, none of their four regional
qualifiers were involved in either of them.
Only two seeds fell in the opening rounds of the regional tournament on
Monday at Angelo State University, and all four Pecos players entered ended
up falling to the top seeds. Singles players Trent Graham and Natalia Ornelas
won their opening round matches before losing in the second round, while
Jay Dannelley and Bobby Sotelo were beaten by the top-seeded boys doubles
team in their opening round match.
Sotelo and Dannelley lost to David Barrett and Jared King of Wichita Falls
Rider, 6-1, 6-0 in their opener, while Graham won his opening match over
El Paso Ysleta's Jacob Meils, 6-1, 6-1, then lost to Barrett and King's teammate,
No. 1 singles seed Andrew Ulrich of Rider, 6-1, 6-1 in the tournament quarterfinals.
Ornelas didn't have to face the No. 1 seed in her division, and also scored
a 6-1, 6-1 opening win, over Nura-Al Himer of Fort Worth Eastern Hills, but
was then beaten by Ashley Ellis, the No. 3 seed from Amarillo Caprock, 6-2,
6-1, in her semifinal match.
Only one of the other regional qualifiers out of District 2-4A got past
their opening round match. Clint's Alvaro Chacon and Daniel Sosa won their
opener in doubles over Miguel Torres and Robert Herrera of El Paso Bowie,
6-4, 5-7, 6-2, then lost to No.4 seeds Jay Gerber and David Thacker of Pampa,
6-0, 6-3. In the other singles matches, Martin Renteria lost a three-set
match to Dumas' Cody Crouch, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5; while top-seed Lee Hagerman of
Wichita Falls downed Fabens' Monica Andrade in girls singles, 6-0, 6-0.
In girls doubles, Cynthia Falcon and Diana Ceniceros of El Paso Mountain
View, who won their opener a year ago, fell this time to Nai Inthriath and
Kathy Vongsarath of Amarillo Palo Duro, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, while Fabens' Samirah
Ihmud and Alyse Ramos were swept, 6-0, 6-0 by Snyder's Pat Vargas and Andrea
Dunham, who upset Pampa's No. 3 seed team of Tara and Ashley Jordan in the
quarterfinals, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5.
The only other upset came on the boys' side. Crowley's Daniel Quinones
upset No. 2 seed Fernando Bernardi of Fort Worth Eastern Hills, 6-2, 3-6,
7-5, and then downed Dumas' Crouch, 6-2, 6-2.
After playing afternoon games at the same time in the El Paso area several
times in the past four years, the Pecos Eagle baseball and softball teams
will be playing evening games at the same time in Pecos for the first time
ever today, as the boys host the El Paso Mountain View Lobos while the girls
take on the Monahans Loboes, both in 7 p.m. starts.
The Eagles will be looking to win their ninth straight District 2-4A game
and their 17th straight overall when they host Mountain View,
which needs a win to keep its slim playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, Pecos'
girls not only will be getting a look at the new lights at Martinez Field
for the first time, they'll be getting a look at one of their new district
rivals next year when they face the Loboes. Monahans comes in as the champions
of District 4-3A, which Pecos will be joining beginning this August.
Today's game is a playoff warm-up game for both teams, who earned first
round playoff byes after winning their district titles. The Eagles will be
facing either San Angelo Lake View or Borger in the area round of the playoffs,
probably on May 2 or 3 in Odessa or Lubbock.
The Eagles won their fourth straight District 2-4A title this season and
went 10-0 in district for the second straight season. They've won 11 straight
games this season, the latest by a 5-3 score at San Elizario on Friday and
are 14-3 on the season. Pecos and Monahans have not faced each other so far
this season, but last year the Loboes posted a pair of shutout wins over
the Eagles, 3-0 and 5-0.
Three weeks ago Pecos almost shut out Mountain View in baseball, as Barney
Rodriguez wild pitched a run in with two outs in the seventh inning of an
eventual 9-1 Eagle victory. This past Friday, Pecos clinched its third district
title in the past four years, beating Canutillo in five innings, 13-1. It
put the Eagles at 8-0 in district and 20-4 on the season.
Mountain View is 2-5-1 with only an outside chance of catching San Elizario
or Clint in the race for the final district playoff berth. That's still miles
ahead of a year ago, when the Lobos went winless on the season, including
a 24-6 loss in Pecos to the Eagle in a game they led at one point, 6-2.
Barney Rodriguez also pitched that game, but for tonight, coach Bubba
Williams said Richard Rodriguez would probably start. The senior has won
his last three decisions following an 0-2 start, the latest a 12-4 victory
over Clint two weeks ago.
Tonight's game is the second of three straight home games for the Eagles
to close out regular season play. They'll host San Elizario on Friday to
close out their District 2-4A schedule, in a game moved up from a 7 p.m.
to a 5 p.m. start.

The Legacy of a Child in an Open Adoption
By Brenda Romanchick
Once there were two expectant mothers.
One carried and cared for you beneath her beating heart
She became your Birthmother.
The other carried the hope of you within her.
She became your Mom.
As the days passed, and you grew bigger and stronger,
Your Birthmother knew that she could not give you all you needed after
your birth.
Meanwhile, your Mom was ready and waiting for you.
One day your Birthmom and your Mom found each other.
They looked into each other's eyes and saw a friend.
Your Birthmom saw the life your Mom could give you.
Your Mom saw how much your Birthmom loved and cared for you.
They decided that what you needed was both kinds of love in your life.
So now you have two families,
One by birth, the other by adoption.
And you have a home where you can get:
your questions answered,
your boo boos bandaged,
your heartaches soothed,
And much needed hugs.
And a place where you can find:
answers to your questions,
your image in the mirror,
a part of yourself,
And much needed hugs.
Two different kinds of families
Two different kinds of love
Both a part of you.

I break down what was revealed about the future of DUST 514 at this years EVE FanFest. A look at the next 12 months, post 18 months and years down the line are touched upon. DUST 514 is a free-to-play PS3 exclusive which interacts with the 10 year old spaceship MMO EVE Online.
All I remember about this game when I played the PS Plus beta last year was it was hard as hell to aim in. I'm not some shooter god or anything but it just felt unpolished and hard to control. Has it gotten any better in that respect in the last year?
It's an entirely different beast than last year... no complaints from last years build are valid anymore.

Double To A Million - Step 18 - 2008 Is A Bad Year
Well not the whole year but the first Nine Days anyways.
It started right from the beginning. The Stock Market has dropped everyday, straight down and all the DTAMP stake is in a trade for the markets to go up. Very, very bad.
The first amount invested ($738.53) back in October of 2007 is down (-24.30%) as of yesterday. Ouch. A large portion of that loss has taken place in January 2008.
The second investment ($296.72), invested on January 3rd, 2008 is down (-8.63%).
But worse than that, on Tuesday while out for lunch, a bicyclist darted out in front of me and we collided. He ended up on top of the hood of my car. I don't want to go into details but after we exchanged information he started to walk away with the bike. I went after him and asked him if I could take him anywhere and he wanted me to take him to the emergency room at the hospital.
I called the police at the hospital. Hopefully everything will be OK. He seems to be uninjured. But there was a lot of shock both for him and my wife and I. It is traumatic to be in that kind of accident, for everyone. I haven't been able to sleep since.
The last thing I ever expected was to have an accident with a bicyclist in the middle of January. He came out from behind a very high snow bank and I never saw him until he was on the hood. He was fortunate that I didn't panic and hit the accelerator instead of the brake.
My insurance company contacted the bicyclist the next day and will be taking care of the ER visit and hopefully help him with repairs to his bike.
A warning to bicyclists:
(1). Never, ever, ride against the traffic, always ride with traffic. (He was on the wrong side of the road and was coming from the opposite direction the traffic was coming. I was watching the traffic coming at me at 50 mph and turning right. He came at me from the right. Had he been with traffic he would have been on the other side of the road.)
(2). Never cross in front of a car at an intersection without stopping. That car is ready to go and may not see you. (He saw me but never stopped, just cut out in front of me.)
(3). The bicyclist needs to make eye contact with the automobile driver to ensure that the driver sees the bicyclist. Do not just assume you are seen, either as a pedestrian or a bicyclist.
The police determined that it was an accident and that I was not negligent nor malicious. I did not receive a ticket.
But the front rim of the bicyclists bike was bent and I feel badly that he may be without the use of his bike for awhile while this all gets sorted out. I am just grateful that he was not seriously, or for that matter, minorly injured.
I also hope he is not a litigious person, but rather is fair, honorable and equitable.
So, so far my opinion about 2008 is that it sucks, and if it is any indication as to the rest of the year, I am just going to bed and not get up till its over.
A little good news for DTAMP this morning was received. Someone bought something from MegaSteps International and I do have a commission coming. Thank you whoever made the purchase.
I hope you all are having a better year than me.

moving packets, large purchase, new place opens
Giving away excessive amounts of coupons can really cost a company some serious profit. However, there are times when handing out significant coupons to entice a customer in to the store is a beneficial marketing strategy. Often, these coupons are only handed out once by a store, and only under specific circumstances. There are plenty of one-time places to get coupons -- you just have to know where to look!
Moving packets often contain significant discounts on services you would need around the home -- things like carpet cleaning, window cleaning, drycleaning, and house inspections. While you may not need these items when you move in -- rendering the coupons fairly useless to you -- you might need them when you've been in your home a while. Check around with friends who have moved lately to see if they've gotten a coupon package, and ask if you can use the ones you need.
When you sign up for something, such as a service or a product, the company often gives you a significant coupon for your next purchase, as a thank you for doing business with them. Though this coupon will not always be helpful, because it's often expired before you actually need the product or service again, sometimes it will be just what you need to make sure your house stays clean instead of just being clean once every five years (as an example).
After a large purchase, stores may grant you a coupon for your next visit. An example of this is what many clothing and department stores do: if you spend $50 or more, you get a coupon for $10 off your next purchase (often of $20 or more). While this does up the likelihood that you will return to do business with them again, a plus for their company, it's also a bonus for you, since you obviously shop there and would likely have gone back again anyway, coupon or not.
When a place opens, to entice in new customers, stores often put coupons in the newspaper and hold their breath for a big profits hit. You can even get freebies out of these scenarios sometimes! Watch your Sunday paper (and the weeklies, too) to see if you can spot any great deals at stores with grand openings or new location openings.
Coupons are just one aspect of the frugal lifestyle, and we cover the rest over at GarageSaleCow.com!

text: Posting on behalf of a friend here. She's got 4 adult niche domains - .co's but very good ones never the less (i.e. lesbiansluts.co etc) . She was looking to develop content on them but never got round to it and is looking to sell. Can anyone recommend the best place to advertise them - is the "items for sale" forum on here good for this kind of stuff? or would she be better using a domain brokerage service. I've never really sold any domains before so not sure what to advise her. Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
