It's Monday evening around cocktail hour, and I'd like a gin and tonic, but first I'll write. Marley is resting on our green chair that I purchased from Joe, the guy on OKC Craig's List that likes to find, re-do, and resale mid-century-modern furniture. Harley is sprawled out on the floor by the front door. He'd be gazing out it, were it open, but the Oklahoma summer sun is in full effect at this hour, and, from where I'm sitting, blinding. It's also disgustingly hot outside come summertime in Oklahoma. We keep our door closed, perhaps in an attempt to let Summer know its heat isn't welcome here.
Jamie's at the food bar and I know he's exhausted, but he'll rarely admit to it. Or, more accurately, he doesn't give much energy to it. Work is hard right now, but rewarding in a deep, soulful way. It is what it is, and we're doing what we have to do. There have been times when I think we are crazy for choosing to do this — to run a business together. But we're finding our stride together, figuring things out; and if you put your blinders on and don't think too hard about it, it's actually quite nice. It requires a lot of focus and prioritization, which isn't so bad because I don't have time to get knocked down by the heavy hits of bad news we're waking up to in this world these days.
That isn't to say that I don't put thought into the usually-disappointing news spewing out from NPR shows — I do. But I get to do it over cooking/admin tasks, and somehow that makes it a little easier to process. My favorite thing to cook these days just so happens to also be comforting and restorative, which works out nicely. That thing would be chicken soup.
I've been making and eating this soup for most of the month of June because I'm currently very into making chicken stock. The smell that fills our house as it simmers all night on our stove is beguiling — a word, by the way, I've always wanted to use, but could never bring myself to because I wasn't fully sure I had yet experienced what it means — and it over-delivers when you consider the little amount of work that goes into making it. I can use it to lend flavor to all sorts of vegetables when I steam or sauté them, make a variety of soups, and even sip it when I'm feeling out of sorts, which, now that I'm thinking about it, isn't so often since I've been on this soup kick.
I'll first start with the base, a recipe derived from several sources that has morphed into my own over the past year.
Chicken stock
1 whole chicken
4-5 quarts of water, or enough to cover
1-2 carrots
1 yellow onion
6 cloves of garlic
1-inch chunk of ginger
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon of sea salt, plus more to taste
If the chicken is frozen, let it thaw before beginning the stock. While it's doing so, quarter the onion, roughly chop the carrot, and peel (or don't) the garlic. I've read that crushing the garlic before adding it to the stock lends more flavor, but I haven't noticed a big enough difference to commit to it.
Rinse the chicken, then place it in a deep pot with the onion, carrot, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper; cover all of it with cold water, then bring it to a simmer. Cover the pot and leave it alone for a few hours. I typically begin my stock in the early evening, a couple of hours before bed, and let it simmer all night long; however, if you want to eat the meat (it's surprisingly good), you'll want to remove it after 1.5 to 2 hours of cooking. To do this, carefully remove the chicken from the pot — letting the liquid and other items continue to simmer — and allow it to cool a little before handling. Once you've removed all the meat you'd like to eat, add the bones and carcass back to the pot, cover, and bring the mixture back to a gentle simmer. (When you're ready to eat the chicken, remember that a good amount of the chicken's flavor was given to the stock; so don't be shy when salting or peppering.)
After the stock has cooked for several hours, strain it. If you plan to freeze some of it, let it cool before tucking it away in the freezer. Otherwise, it keeps for 5-7 days in the refrigerator.
For the chicken soup, I don't follow any specific recipe, but I usually do the following:
2 quarts chicken broth, plus more for thinning, if needed
3 large carrots, cut into rounds
2 medium leeks, halved (length wise), rinsed, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 to 1/2 yellow onion, sliced thinly, length wise
2 cloves garlic, smashed and roughly chopped
1-2 pounds of shredded chicken, if you want
leaves from a few sprigs of thyme
Pour the chicken broth into a large stockpot, and add to it the carrots, leeks, onions, and 2-3 generous pinches of salt. Bring it to a boil, reduce it to a simmer, then let it stay there for 25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Add the thyme and let it cook for another 5 minutes. Then add the chicken and garlic. Let it cook for 5 more minutes. Taste for salt seasoning, and add more, if needed, plus black pepper, if you'd like.
Place into bowls and serve — it provides roughly 8 cups of soup, probably a little more, if you aren't being exact. It stores well, covered in the refrigerator, for 5 to 7 days.

There are many things you can do to manage stress and cope with change but there is one particular practice that helps many: yoga. Yoga has been practiced for at least five thousand years and it can help you manage a sea of troubles both emotional and physical.
The benefits of children learning yoga are much the same as with adults. Yoga improves flexibility, reduces stress, provides a sense of inner peace, increases concentration and muscle strength, improves balance and quality of sleep.
Miami University published in its Partners in Learning report that incorporating awakening and stimulating poses into yoga practice at the beginning of the day can cause students to become alert and focused for the day ahead. Now imagine what might happen if you did this in a work setting!
USC Dornsife's Joint Educational Project (JEP) has a program for inner city children called Little Yoginis.In Los Angeles elementary school students already experience stress at home and at school.JEP steps in and teaches these children the practice of yoga in hopes that it will positively affect their school performance.Alumna Teresa Updegraff Power has made a donation to JEP that will held them expand Little Yoginis program by training USC students to become yoga instructors — "USC Yogis" — who will teach the Little Yoginis curriculum at USC Readers Plus Partner schools.
There is an excellent blog post titled "Scientific Evidence for Yoga and Mindfulness in Schools: How and Why Does It Work?" on the Yoga 4 Classrooms Blog that has some fascinating data on the benefits of yoga for school children. You can read it here.
So now, stop reading this blog post. Push away from the screen. Inhale deeply. Stand. And begin your quest for what a small yoga and mindfulness practice might look like in your life.
For me, I have added 20 minutes of yoga to my vigorous exercise regime. The juxtaposition between hard core exercise and yoga –of me—is a perfect
blend.Please let me know what you discover.

No. 22 Men's Basketball Pushes Past Portland St., 69-63
Jan 15, 2003
By ANDREW HINKELMAN
Associated Press Writer
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - No. 22 Oregon has a glaring weakness, and when a bottom-feeding Big Sky team can exploit it for a near upset, it's a full-fledged problem.
Luke Jackson scored 21 points and Ian Crosswhite added 17 as the struggling Ducks survived a scare from Portland State for a 69-63 victory Wednesday night at Memorial Coliseum.
Luke Ridnour had 15 points for the Ducks (11-4), who again struggled with their interior defense. Oregon lost three of its first four Pac-10 Conference games.
'We came out in the second half and played sloppy,' Jackson said. 'PSU had a good game plan, they utilized their post moves and battled hard.'
Said Oregon coach Ernie Kent: '(Jackson) needs to shoot the ball well, and he did tonight. We told him to start taking his jumper and he did.'
Kent declined to criticize his team's defensive effort, instead focusing on positive aspects of the game.
We're trying to get back in sync. It feels good to get a win on the road.
Seth Scott led the Vikings (3-13) with a career-high 25 points and 11 rebounds, while Kevin Briggs added 13 points and Brandon Haughton had 11.
Portland State scored 36 points in the paint - 32 in the first 25 minutes of the game - and got within 42-41 before the Ducks went to a two-center lineup of Crosswhite and Jay Anderson to clog up the middle.
'We're trying to get back in sync,' Crosswhite said. 'It feels good to get a win on the road. Portland State played tough and Scott played well against us. I give them a lot of credit.'
Bringing in the two centers coincided with a 12-2 Oregon run to put some distance between the teams.
'Our kids had a lot of heart and fought tonight,' Vikings coach Heath Schroyer said. 'I told them at every timeout we can play with this team if we follow our game plan.'
The scrappy Vikings fought back with a 7-1 run down the stretch keyed by seven points from Scott over the final 3:37 that kept the crowd in the game.
'The word potential has been thrown around Seth a lot,' Schroyer said. 'Tonight he realized some of that. He's really been picking up the mental part of the game. I'm really proud of the way he played.'
Ridnour knifed through the lane for a running scoop shot high off the glass with 54 seconds left to put the game out of reach.
'We feel like we're comfortable but we need to work at getting better in our halfcourt offense,' Jackson said. 'We worked on the little things tonight.'
The Vikings were able to make a game of it in the first half despite falling behind big early.
A 13-2 run gave Oregon a 22-10 lead with 9:47 left in the half, and the Ducks would lead by as many as 14 before Portland State put together an 11-2 run to get back into contention.
The Vikings closed within five points twice and trailed 40-33 at halftime.
Oregon had 11 turnovers in the first half and was only ahead by seven because it shot 65.2 percent.
'It's tough playing in-state rivals that you're supposed to beat,' Kent said. 'If you look across the country, most teams don't do that.'
The second half was a reversal of the first for Oregon, as the Ducks turned the ball over just four times but shot 38.5 percent.
Portland State fell to 2-32 versus Pac-10 teams. The Vikings beat Oregon in 1997 and Arizona State last season.

It drives me absolutely bonkers when people conflate accommodations for disabilities with helicoptering or snowplowing to remove every possible obstacle from in front of a totally capable NT kid. They. Are. Not. The. Same. No matter how many accommodations they have, kids with disabilities still face plenty obstacles, and will do so for the rest of their lives. If anything, the kids I know with LDs are some of the most hard-working, resilient, pick-themselves-up-and-keep-going people I've ever met. It pisses me off to no end when people look down on those with accommodations like they're just immature, coddled snowflakes who can't handle real life. Try walking a freaking mile in their shoes and see how easy their lives are! for those on the spectrum (especially girls) they do a lot of masking, and unless people know what to look for, they don't see the signs they're on the spectrum/neurodiverse. I'm most likely on the spectrum (I have two formally diagnosed). I was once lectured by a women for not being patient with someone who may (or may not) have had a disability because "she's disabled" - never mind her initiated interactions with me were triggering mine (caused stress, and I was masking). - and I was trying to handle my being triggered. I just found it ironic. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When we first built Photoswarm's photo hosting websites we anticipated that people would generally want to just put a handful of images in each of their albums. We never dreamed that you might like to squeeze hundreds of images into a single album!
The problem with having so many images in an single album is that it can take a long time to completely load a page. People viewing an album would then experience a delay before they could see the full-size images (at the geek level – there's only a single thread for loading content). Clearly we needed to do something about this.
Enter the Photoswarm Lazy Loader. The job of this sweet little addition is to ensure that content that is out of view is only loaded when required. So for example the thumbnails further down an album page will only load as you scroll down that page. In general it should look far enough ahead so that you won't really see this happening but you should definitely feel the improvement in performance on big albums.
We've also rolled this feature out to admin sections of the photo websites to keep them nice and nippy too.

I was compensated a 3 month subscription for feature
With the school year about halfway through you would know by now how much help your child may need in math at school no matter what grade level. Smartick is an engaging online math game for ages 4-14. Even if your child is not struggling at math but is unmotivated Smartick has a system just right for them too.
I set up an account for my son who is in grade 3. He does very well in some aspects in Math and ok in other areas. Even though he is not behind, I use this to motivate him to get extra practice. How? By installing incentives via the parent control panel.
There are 2 ways to log in- child and parent. In parent mode you can see your child's progress, create incentives per number of ticks you set, and get performance reports. For various activities like completing without errors, playing multiple days in a row, completing sections and more they get ticks. These ticks can be used in their virtual world to buy items and upgrade their world. They can buy a home, add to it and other fun world items with their Avatar they can personalize. As a parent, you can set tick rewards, like movie time or choice of dinner after so many ticks as incentive.
In child mode they do 15 minute daily sessions. First they will take a placement test. It is a bit difficult by design to really guage the level of your child and create an accurate profile of games for them. Each day they come back for a 15 minute session. That is enough time to get some practice in yet not too long that they become bored or frustrated.
- 94% of Smartick students improve their mental calculation and agility
- 83% of Smartick students improve their grade in math, and half improve in other subjects
You can start a 15 day free trial right now at Smartick

The Marathon Continues -Nipsey Hussle
May 10, 2019
"My thing is that I don't give no person that much power over my path that I'm walking. Not one person can make or break what I'm doing, except me or God."
Nipsey Hussle
Ermias Asghedom, famously known as Nipsey Hussle, born on August 15, 1985 was a rapper, humanitarian, advocate, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and an overall influence to everyone around him. On March 31, 2019, a mother and father lost their son, a brother and sister lost their brother, a wife lost her husband, and children lost their father. Beyond the loss that the whole world felt, Hussle's legacy is something that will resonate for a very long time. Nipsey Hussle was more than just a rapper who started off selling mixtapes on the streets. Crenshaw and Slauson was the intersection that Hussle spent a lot of his time as which has recently been renamed in honor of Hussle to "Nipsey Hussle Square." A transformation from gangs and violence to an empire. Nipsey Hussle built his life based off of everything everyone told him he could not do, eventually, he did everything and more.
Nipsey Hussle was the definition of a self-made man. To many, he was an influence to the culture and remained as open-minded as could be. He expanded views, spoke his beliefs, and did his research with books and face to face interactions. Nipsey Hussle gave back to his community in many effective ways. Hussle created a business called "Marathon Clothing." The location that he opened his store at is the same location where he used to sell mixtapes at, Hussle ended up buying the property and opening his own store in the complex he now owns. In a partnership with Vector90, Hussle launched a program called "Too Big To Fail," which holds STEM opportunities for the minority youth. Hussle's intentions for this program was to give the same opportunities to the minority youth that the more fortunate youth get. Hussle believed in the potential of his community and always represented where he came from. He wanted to build and create a safer environment for the youth. Although Hussle was gang affiliated, he spoke out in hopes to reduce gang violence in order to gain better alternatives for the youth and invest in the dreams of the youth.
Nipsey Hussle did so much for the music community and his community. The loss of Hussle was a universal hurt that many felt. This loss has brought many people together to remember the great Nipsey Hussle. Hussle owned everything he did, and he served the people he loved the most. He had love for everyone and saw the good in everyone. The amount of giving back that he did is so much more than what is known. A legacy that will forever be carried on, giving back and creating excellence. The Marathon Continues.

"This past week proves once and for all that some of America's most elite journalists are infected with the dreaded disease "Bush Derangement Syndrome."
Sadly, BDS has swept through the Washington press corps and caused even the most elite reporters' minds to melt into a boiling stew of bile, intent on beating the president's legacy to a pulp.
Their over-the-top arguments only make me want to defend him that much more.
So today I will write about the single issue on which liberals have claimed George W. Bush's presidency will be judged: Iraq.
Twenty years from now, historians will not rate the president for the mistakes made in 2003. They will place him in the history books based on how Iraq and the Middle East play out.
While we can't predict the future in that chaotic region, we can look at the last two years as a guide.
After Democrats took control of Congress in 2006, George Bush took a tragic situation in Iraq and turned it around. . .
Foreign policy experts tell me daily that Iraq is not Barack Obama's greatest challenge anymore. It is Afghanistan.
And liberals? They just try to change the subject.
We shouldn't let them.
Instead, we should focus on what George W. Bush did right as a lesson to future presidents.
Mr. Bush's greatest insight was understanding Americans should not settle for ties in wars. Our failures in Korea and Vietnam haunted U.S. policy makers for years. And allowing terrorists to run American troops out of Iraq would have empowered al-Qaida and brought about horrific consequences.
So while his generals were begging him to retreat, Bush fought back.
Bob Woodward's latest work on the Iraq War unwittingly paints the president as a courageous leader who stood alone and saved Iraq from failure."
My reply:
"$10+ T national debt, $1.2 T deficit this year, 2.6 M jobs lost in the last year swelling the ranks of the unemployed to more than 11 million people, failing economy, mortgage crisis, incompetent leadership, overstretched military, an unnecessary and disastrous war, politicized government, torture as government policy, Chinese ascension, Russian resurgence, oil addiction (did I miss anything) - it's not reality, it's all my imagination, here called the Bush Derangement Syndrome.
It is true that Bush saved Iraq from 'failure,' but he was responsible for that 'failure.' Would a man who set a house on fire be praised for putting the fire out? I think not.
Bush's record as a student, a military man, a businessman and the so-called 'leader' (I thought he was the Decider) of the free world is one of constant failure."
I wonder how Joe might vote in the poll. Email and ask him.

Freshly minted with most of the technical Oscars going, and a Best Director win for Alfonso Cuaron, too, Gravity's Blu-Ray release is perfectly timed for audience to work out whether it is deserving of all the praise it has had heaped upon it. The answer is mostly yes.
Technically, Gravity is an astonishing achievement, a visually breath-taking trip into space that chooses long, measured takes that allow you to bask in the beauty of earth and space instead of the fast cutting that is usually preferred by Blockbuster directors. It's almost a game of how long the editor can hold on before cutting away, and the result is a far more immersive experience than the more frantic, ADD editing of Hollywood. Such long takes are to be expected from a languorous arthouse film, but here they are employed to depict an exciting, action-packed thriller that dares critics into rollercoaster-based clichés.
Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, cast off into the nothingness of space, have to fight decreasing oxygen, imprecise movement and bullet-paced debris that has an incredibly destructive impact on space stations and shuttles. It's a fight for survival unlike anything you've seen before, with some of the most spectacular sequences of last year that – thankfully – don't lose much impact on a decent sized TV or on Blu-Ray. Get this in the highest definition you can. As a survival thriller set in space, this is as exciting as it gets, and at only 90 minutes long, it's also refreshingly flab-free, the leanness contributing to the escalating tension. In a world where everything needs an origin story and at least half an hour's set up, Gravity throws you straight into the action and benefits hugely from it. From start to finish, you are guaranteed not to be bored.
It's not, as some may have you believe, a perfect film however. Hyperbole abounded upon the film's cinematic release, arguably as a response to just how different Gravity was to the glut of bloated, boring Blockbusters regularly churned out of the studio system. Just because it does most things right, however, doesn't mean everyone should launch into declarations of 'Film of the Decade' or even throw about meaningless phrases like 'masterpiece.' The fact remains that the script is painfully trite, with the backstory spelled out in capital letters to the point of being perfunctory. Beyond her being a human, it's difficult to care about Sandra Bullock's Ryan Stone because she feels so much like a character that only exists in films, or a mere symbol round which the Cuarons can build their often painfully obvious imagery. Not only that but the score – which is actually excellent – is played far too loudly in the mix, becoming egregiously invasive; it's an odd choice for a film that champions the silence of space.
Extras: Surely the best reason to invest in the Gravity Blu-Ray is to find out how they made it, and the extras don't skimp on the details. Fascinating tidbits revealed include that every visor in the film is CGI and that the lighting and camera movements were performed by robots. The chat about the screenplay is a little trite though – telling us what the themes are is a redundant exercise in a film when they are so obvious anyway. Includes Jonas Cuaron's short film about that radio transmission near the end and a documentary about rubbish in space. Overall, an essential insight into the most technically complicated film of the year, and will leave you in awe of the craftsmen behind it.

Introduction: DIY: Hershey Kiss Easter Egg
Hello everyone and welcome back to TrendingSeasons! The Easter Bunny is coming! To give you the opportunity to eat even more chocolate this time of year, I'm going to show you how to make a Hershey Kiss Easter egg.
Let's get started!
You are going to need:
-A 6 in. styrofoam egg
-Spring colored Hershey Kisses (3 packs)
-Pins (3 packs)
-A candle stand
-And Easter basket grass
1. Cut off the bottom of the Styrofoam egg so that it can stand on it's own. (Note: cut off less than an inch!)
2. On a plate, take one Hershey Kiss and attach it to the bottom of the Styrofoam egg using a pin. The pin will go through the top of the Hershey Kiss' foil.
3. Make sure it's secure. Be very carful handling the pins.
4. Choosing a different colored kiss, repeat the previous step. Pin it to the egg's bottom.
5. Continue the process around the bottom of the egg. (Choose random colors or follow a pattern.)
6. Once you've made it around the bottom with kisses, start a new layer. Work your way up the egg.
7. On a plate, place the egg on a candle stand.
8. Add Easter basket grass around its base. (I also added some sparkly Easter eggs to add to the burst of SPRING colors!)
This works really well for an Easter centerpiece! And the best part is, it's edible! Just make sure the pins are removed when eating a Hershey kiss!
(Disclaimer: TrendingSeasons is not responsible for any minor injuries that may occur with pin usage. Please execute caution!)
Thanks for dropping by! Please be sure to give my video a "thumbs up," comment, and SUBSCRIBE!
Until next time loves! XO!

The Learning Process
hosted by
San Diego Figure Skating Communications
a non-profit educational organization
Transfer of SkillsTransfer of Muscle Memory
When a movement is repeated over time, the muscles remember the specific muscle tasks that are associated. The process starts as short term memory and then is transfered to the brain and stored as long-term memory. This allows the brain to trigger the muscles to perform specific tasks without conscious effort. This process decreases the need for conscious attention and creates maximum efficiency within the motor and memory systems.
Most motor skills
are thought to be acquired through practice; however,
many individuals can learn skills just from their observation of
the skill being performed or demonstrated. The retention of
acquired motor skills are
stored in the brain as memory and can be accessed even if someone had
not performed these skills in an extended period of time.
The process of
storing memories in the brain is referred to as "muscle memory
encoding". Motor memory has two stages:
The stimuli sent to the
brain are encoded within milliseconds; however the long-term
consolidation of memories can take a few minutes, days, or even
years to become a stable memory that is more resistant
to change. Thus the importance of taking the time to reduce or
eliminate the acquistition of short term muscle errors. Once a error
has been assimulated into long term memory, the amount of time and
energy to replace the error in the subcouncious mind will have
quadrupled since the initial effort to acquire the skill.
Transfer of Knowledge and
Muscle Memory
Sometimes the ice rink's schedule
and the
skater's availability are not ideal matches. The skater's
schedule can diminish the best practice/training conditions recommended
by test and competition coaches.
There also is a high rate of skill transfer between general exercising programs; however, higher level physical skills between dissimilar sports does not transfer, or if a transfer occurs it is marginal.
The principle of training transfer should be applied to optimize exercise sessions:
If your child is doing the assigned homework and you observe that he/she doesn't know how to explain the process of arriving at the answers, it is a good indication that there is a problem and a learning assessment is required.
Note: Most schools have specific criteria that triggers a professional assessment to occur at the districts expense. It is also possible to engage the services of a professional, but the expense
can be a deterrent. If a local college or university is nearby, make inquiries to see if they can
provide testing for free as part of classroom training.
A Learning Needs Assessment (LNA) helps parents, teachers, and students identify the status of the student's knowledge, skills and competencies. It also helps to establish where they should be so a set of learning goals can be established. The learning assessment can identify what will help to fill in the learning gaps, course content, schedules, etc..
A needs assessment requires providing answers to the following questions:
Recommendation for Tutoring
It can be tricky to suggest to a child that they can benefit from tutoring because of the stigma that occurs when peers make embarrassing comments causing the individual to become self conscious. It is very important to take the time to provide sufficient information so they understanding the reason for tutoring. Hopefully this allow the student to become comfortable with the idea. Success requires that the student buys into the process. A negative attitude will cause the effort to be counter productive.
Tutoring can occur at home in one to one sessions or at a business location using a classroom with small groups of fellow students. Finding a good tutor can prove to be difficult and frustrating experience; however, it is helpful to start a search by contacting the school counselor. They can steer you in the right directions, thus speeding up the search and resulting in multiple, viable options.
Aside from finding someone with the proper qualifications, the tutor must be someone whose personality will mesh well with the child. Start with a few trial lessons and don 't be pressured into signing a contract!
Professional Diagnosis and Solutions
Remember that physical problems, such as needing glasses and/or a hearing aid, may be at the root cause of the problem. Sometimes there may be serious information processing problems that require testing by a professional to recommend a plan to solve or mitigate the root problem.

Developing Course Materials
Games approach helps tennis players transfer skills learned in practice to matches Coaches create scenarios on the tennis court in which players have to use their technical skills in match/game situations, forcing them to make decisions that simulate the choices they will have to make in a match. These skills, called tactical skills, are the bridge between practice performance and match performance. Although the proper execution of technical skills is necessary for success, the tactical skills (i.e., the ability to make the appropriate decisions) are the key to having everything come together when it counts - in the match.
Defining and Classifying Skill in Sport Motor skills form the basis of all sports. Transfer of skills - The learning of one skill may help in the learning of another skill, sometimes in a different activity.
Transferable Skills The most commonly cited transferable skills for athletes are: 1. Tthe ability to perform. 2, To achieve an efficient transfer of skills from sport to work.

Madonna and the Breakfast Club will document the queen of pop's early years as a drummer
A docudrama about Madonna's early days before her breakthrough as a modern pop icon is set to be released this year.
Written and directed by Guy Guido, Madonna and the Breakfast Club delves into Madonna's past as a drummer for the Breakfast Club, a band she formed with ex-lover Dan Gilroy in the late 70s. Featuring interviews with the former bandmates, which includes Gilroy and his brother Ed as guitarists and Angie Smit on bass, the film is based on videos, tapes and love letters that Gilroy has preserved through the years.
Madonna and the Breakfast Club sees actress Jamie Auld taking on the role of a young Madonna, beginning in 1979 in Queens, and reaching its climax on the cusp of her megastardom, leaving the band in 1981 to form new outfit Emmy and the Emmys, and to ultimately pursue her solo career. We see her dominating stages at iconic venues like Max's Kansas City in New York, and the evolution of her style and musical ability – the empassioned determination and intense ambition of the Ray of Light singer is emphasised.
It's still unknown whether Madonna is supportive of the film, but it's very unlikely given the way she disavowed Blonde Ambition, a biopic on her life that was voted the best of Hollywood's unproduced scripts in 2016.
"Nobody knows what I know and what I have seen. Only I can tell my story. Anyone else who tries is a charlatan and a fool," read Madonna's Instagram, as the biopic made headlines last year, "looking for instant gratification without doing the work. This is a disease in our society."
Watch the trailer below, and check out more of Madonna's 80s candid photos here.

Yale professor Paul Anastas says it isn't enough to know that environmental chemicals are making us fat and sick. Anastas directs a department that is working on redesigning chemicals in our food and many products we rely on so that they do not threaten our health.
Anastas heads the Yale Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering. It is his goal, working with other researchers and corporations, to create a label system indicating which foods and products we use have been re-engineered for health.
There is research to show that many products contain what are known as "obesogens," toxic chemicals that reportedly cause obesity in a variety of ways. This avenue of inquiry was part of what Anastas worked on when he took a leave at Yale in 2009 to serve as assistant administrator at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Washington.
Listen this hour to learn how chemicals affect our health and weight control and what promising solutions are at hand. Joining Dr. Anastas, who holds the Teresa and John Heinz endowed chair at Yale, is Connecticut metabolic doctor and endocrinologist Reza Yavari.

Always in a deliberately economical aesthetic and radically sober presentation mode (without framing or any speci c setup), for his new exhibition, at Art : Concept, Pierre-Olivier Arnaud continues his re ection on the production of images. Despite the omnipresence of photography, his work is more like that of a visual artist, whose raw material is images, either shot by himself or not.
The artist brings together works created since 2015, a corpus of images (playstill) harvested from
the daily press - close-ups and details of advertising images in most cases - or during urban strolls. This hazardous parade favours photographs of shop windows and store signs. Systematically silk-screen printed in a single format (176 x 120 cm) and glued to the wall, the images conform,
at least in appearance, to their status as public images. Although never claimant, the critical dimension looms behind them like a watermark. In many respects, this approach also evokes the surrealist attitude; the practice of wandering and the place left to chance-meetings one hand, and the subject-choices of the displayed objects on the other. Modernist photography of the 1920s, with which Pierre-Olivier Arnaud's proposals share an ambivalent movement of critical fascination with the
object and merchandise, is not far away either. With this difference: That the artist's procedure - enlargement, desaturation, framing and pixilation to the extreme - annihilates any relation to reality and creates a kind of space-time impossibility, reaf rmed by the title, un autre halo (another halo), fragment of a sentence without capital letters, without beginning or end.
Within this assumed and claimed low de nition, the source object is unidenti able, unrecognizable, lost. The artist only preserves its abstract character and turns it into a pattern. A pattern that sometimes becomes repetitive. This is the case of untitled (play still_14) sort of ickering or negative constellation that spreads onto an entire exhibition wall. How to tell the original from its copy?
A legitimate, yet fruitless, interrogation. Never mind, the original is lost amidst the stages of creation. It is the very future of the photographic medium that is at stake, reproduction (paper or digital)
and declination asserting themselves as the only possibilities of survival. The artist offers us only prototypes that plunge the viewer into a suspended time, an "in between" in which everything still seems possible.

This purr-worthy, $7 million cat shelter in Chicago includes a "catfé"
During the design process, Tree House organizers sought expert advice on everything from feline behaviorists to cat style experts. Kate Benjamin, founder of Hauspanther Design, worked with the nonprofit to help design natural living spaces, and Jackson Galaxy, a cat behaviorist known from the Animal Planet TV series "My Cat From Hell" was consulted to help create a stimulating environment.A ceremonial groundbreaking is scheduled for May.
Crumbling temples, South Side landmarks, neon signs top list of Chicago's "most threatened" buildings
Architect Clarence Hatzfield's 1921 temple was built in a very different Englewood than today's. At the time, the South Side neighborhood was home to the second busiest commercial corridor in the city after downtown. Vacant for decades, the classically detailed building has an outstanding demolition permit."It's a prominent and vibrant structure that really deserves a reuse plan," said Preservation Chicago's Ward Miller. The building made their list in 2004, as well as similar watch lists from sister organization Landmarks Illinois in 2003–2004 and 2009–2010. "We really think this is the last call for the Masonic temple," Miller said. 2. Main Building, 3300 S. Federal St. This vacant, red brick structure is visible from the Dan Ryan Expressway, its 1890s splendor a unique presence on the mostly modernist campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology. IIT, which owns the Chicago landmark, has not been an absent landlord, however, renovating its interior over the years and recently putting out a request for proposals on the Romanesque revival structure. Nonetheless structural issues threaten this Patten & Fisher building that predates the 1893 Columbian Exposition. 3. A. Finkl & Sons Company Buildings, Kingsbury & The North Branch of the Chicago River Comprising 28 acres of land along the north branch of the Chicago River, this defunct industrial complex has an uncertain future. Once a symbol of Chicago's industrial might, this former manufacturing corridor churned out leather and forged steel. Now it's flanked with wealthy residential communities, its original industrial tenants gone for greener pastures. In 2014 Finkl & Sons moved their operations to Chicago's southeast side, provoking questions about the site's future that Robin Amer explored in detail for the magazine Rust Belt. 4. Agudas Achim North Shore Synagogue, 5029 N. Kenmore Ave. An historic synagogue on a residential block in Uptown, Agudas Achim boasts an unusual blend of architectural styles, mixing Spanish and Romanesque revival flourishes with Art Deco detailing. Brilliant stained glass windows and strange details in the 1922 building's 2,200-seat sanctuary shine through the building's dilapidation, which is substantial after years of vacancy. 5. Clarendon Park Community Center, 4501 N. Clarendon St.
The Clarendon Park Community Center and Field House, originally called the Clarendon Municipal Bathing Beach, is now a community center and field house. When it was built in 1916, its Mediterranean-revival, resort-style design was meant to remind Chicagoans of Lake Michigan's splendor. That meant it was also supposed to erase memories of cholera outbreaks and squalor along the shores of a rapidly industrializing, young city.
Changes to the structure, particularly in 1972, led to water infiltration and roof issues, as well as alterations to the building's historic towers and colonnades. It sits in a tax-increment financing district adjacent to another threatened building, the historic Cuneo Hospital. Miller suggested the two could be saved and redeveloped together.
6. Pioneer Arcade & New Apollo Theater, 1535-1541 N. Pulaski Rd.
Another former commercial corridor that has fallen on tough times, the area around North & Pulaski in West Humboldt Park retains several important works of 1920s architecture that include some of the city's best Spanish Colonial Revival design.
Restoring the commercial structures to their former glory may prove challenging, but Preservation Chicago hopes previous attempts to redevelop individual buildings could coalesce into a larger restoration project using national and local historic rehabilitation tax incentives.
7. Neon signs
Not a building but an essential part of the city's built environment, Chicago's de facto public art gallery of neon signs overhanging public streets is under threat. Donald Trump's sign notwithstanding, many of the commercial advertisements on Chicago streets are beloved local icons. Many are also code violations in waiting, so the challenge is to find and fix up historic signs while scrapping rusted-out, replaceable ones. DNAinfo Chicago collected a few of their readers' favorite neon signs, which you can see here.Visit Curbed Chicago for a map of city showing all seven buildings. More information on the list can be found on Preservation Chicago's website.
Chicago's Wilson CTA Station gets a $203 million makeover
The project will also include significant track and structural work that will allow for easy and convenient transfers between the Red Line and Purple Line Express; enhance the street-level environment on Broadway; and improve CTA operations. New, brighter lighting and the installation of more than 100 security cameras throughout the stations and its three entrances will help improve customer safety. Additionally, the restoration of the 1923 stationhouse facade and former clock tower (at the corner of Wilson/Broadway) would make it a viable space for future retail or business development, thus creating an anchor for revitalization and economic development in the Uptown neighborhood.It's one of the biggest (and costliest) overhauls in CTA history, and is part of the agency's $1 billion "Red Ahead" initiative to modernize the north branch of the Red and Purple Lines. CTA rebuilt the south branch last year, streamlining construction with massive closures—a strategy that angered some area residents. Elsewhere on the Red Line, 95th Street—the line's southern terminus—is getting an inspired revamp led by Parsons Brinkerhoff and Johnson & Lee, with art from Theaster Gates.

ENERGY EFFECT: Devon pumps positivity into area
Energy giant's move fuels San Angelo gains
Geography, geology and charm brought Devon Energy to San Angelo.
The Oklahoma City-based company, one of the top oil and gas developers and producers in the U.S., decided to put down roots in the city mostly because of its proximity to the Cline Shale, an oil-bearing formation adjacent to the Permian Basin. It lies under one corner of Tom Green County and extends into neighboring counties to the north and west.
Test wells have indicated it might hold up to 3.6 million barrels of recoverable oil per square mile ? about 30 billion barrels overall, an epic bonanza if the projections hold true.
By comparison, the Bakken Shale that transformed the economy of North Dakota is estimated to host 7.4 billion barrels. The Eagle Ford shale outside San Antonio, a find that has driven billions of dollars of development in South Texas, by recent estimates contains 7 billion to 10 billion barrels.
Devon has been a major player in the Permian Basin since the late 1980s, most recently exploring the Wolfcamp Shale ? the catalyst to the latest boom in oil field activities over the past few years. The company is among the largest lease holders in the Permian Basin region with 1.3 million net acres basin-wide in play, said Cindy Allen, Devon Energy's senior communications specialist. The company is using horizontal drilling and other technological advances to unlock the vast resource, she said.
"San Angelo seemed to be a very good place in terms of proximity and for attracting workforce who would enjoy a quality of life there," said Andy Coolidge, Devon Energy's vice president for the Permian Basin. "We just outgrew what we could handle in Midland  (office)."
Last month the San Angelo City Council approved a zoning change just off U.S. 87 between Link Road and Christoval Road in south side San Angelo to allow Devon to build a regional office and a small yard on a 17-acre plot. Earlier this month the company purchased the 17 acres.
Devon is developing a design plan for the facility, which might break ground toward the end of this year, Coolidge said. He hopes the facility will be fully functional by the first quarter of 2014. In the meantime the company is leasing office space on South Chadbourne Street and quickly running out of room. To alleviate crowding at the leased office space, the company might place temporary, portable buildings on the southside plot of land, Coolidge said.
"Currently in the San Angelo office we mainly have the folks who manage our wells to superintendents to foremen ? drilling folks. The accounting staff and that side of the business reside in Midland," Coolidge said. "One day (once the local facility is constructed) San Angelo's office will have full support."
Devon has received a warm welcome from  local leaders.
"I can't think of a better place in the world for an office, and for living and working. We (San Angelo) are the very top of the hill," San Angelo Mayor Dwain Morrison said. "We're on the edge of the Cline and Wolfcamp shales, and San Angelo's just such a great place to live that I can understand why (Devon) is coming here. This will spur economic growth, and we look forward to it."
"For the months they've been operating here, a lot of their suppliers have contacted us on a recommendation from Devon," San Angelo Chamber of Commerce President Phil Neighbors said. "They've inquired with us about what resources, housing, and companies to help them establish operations here and so forth, are available to them. The fact that Devon is so community minded has already helped us serve the needs of several other small  employers."
Since arriving in San Angelo last year, Devon already has made its presence known in the community. It has been an active member with the chamber and was a big supporter for the Premium Sale in last year's San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo, Neighbors said.
"They have been really good corporate citizens," said John Dugan, vice president of marketing and economic development for the chamber. "They've been a great resource for us as we work through what the needs are of the community in the future. They have allowed us to pick their brain, and that has been very beneficial for the community."
In the past few years, and last year in particular, the Permian Basin has been lucrative for Devon. Coolidge anticipates Devon will be around for quite a while in San Angelo as it ramps up its exploration efforts.
In 2012, Devon expanded its Permian Basin oil production 31 percent from 2011, Allen said. Permian production averaged a record 66,000 BOE (barrels of oil equivalent) per day in the fourth quarter of 2012, which was up 24 percent from the same period in 2011, she said. Also in 2012, the company entered into a joint venture agreement with Sumitomo, a Japanese industrial giant, which agreed to pay  $1.4 billion in exchange for 30 percent of Devon's interest in approximately 650,000 net acres in the Cline and Wolfcamp shales.
"Devon's Permian development plays generate some of the best returns in our portfolio," Allen said. "In 2013, Devon plans to spend $1.5 billion and drill more than 300 wells in the Permian Basin."
"This is a great opportunity, and I hope we are able to leverage it to the best of our abilities."

Things are going really well these days for "Teen Mom 2" star Chelsea Houska. She is expecting a new baby and planning her wedding and she has been relishing all of the good things happening by sharing plenty of updates with her fans via social media. What's the latest from Chelsea?
What updates has Houska shared about her wedding and pregnancy?
Chelsea Houska and fiance Cole DeBoer are expecting a baby together and she recently posted via Instagram that she is now 20 weeks into the pregnancy. The "Teen Mom 2" star has not revealed the gender of the baby, and she recently scoffed on Twitter at the notion that she was planning to do a gender reveal at her wedding.
It doesn't look like Houska is dealing with much in the way of pre-wedding jitters, as she just posted a photo of flowers on Instagram and noted that they were from DeBoer. Chelsea says that she doesn't know what she did to deserve Cole, but she's thankful every day and she cannot wait to call him her husband.
Is DeBoer having any pre-wedding jitters?
It is clear from Cole's Instagram posts that he is quite anxious to marry Chelsea and build a future together with her, her daughter Aubree, and their new baby.
He posts lots of pictures with Aubree and was excited to share their recent baby announcement. DeBoer also has posted about how anxious he is to marry Chelsea and as "Radar Online" notes, that big day is right around the corner.
Chelsea and Cole are reportedly getting married on October 1 in South Dakota. "Teen Mom OG" star Maci Bookout will have MTV cameras at her October 7 wedding to Taylor McKinney, with all but one of her co-stars invited.
However, it seems that Houska and DeBoer have decided not to have their nuptials filmed. Fans of the show would love to get to be a part of the big day, especially since the proposal wasn't filmed either, but the couple has decided to go a more private route.
Despite not having cameras at the wedding, it seems certain that "Teen Mom 2" fans can expect to see plenty of updates of the big day via social media once it's taken place.
Things have been exciting and crazy this year for Chelsea Houska with her engagement, pregnancy, and upcoming wedding to Cole DeBoer, and fans are thrilled to see her so happy.

Will India Issue a Compulsory License for an AstraZeneca Diabetes Pill?
For only the third time, an Indian drug maker is seeking to win a compulsory license in order to make and sell a generic version of a brand-name medicine. And the effort is likely to be closely watched as the global pharmaceutical industry looks for signs that the Indian government will alter its approach toward protecting patent rights.
Late last month, Lee Pharma filed an application for a license to manufacture a version of Onglyza, an AstraZeneca diabetes pill, on the grounds that the drug is not sold at an affordable price in India and that supplies are inadequate. The filing comes as the Indian government faces increasing pressure over intellectual property rights.

After objections, 'confident' Revilla now faces plunder trial
MANILA — Three years after his detention began, the P224.5-million plunder case of former Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. is finally moving to trial.
Revilla, his chief-of-staff Richard Cambe, and alleged pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles signed on Thursday, the 746-page thick pretrial order governing the presentation of evidence and witnesses.
Despite the last-ditch objections of the defense on the presentation of evidence, the Sandiganbayan First Division concluded the pretrial stage and paved the way for the trial proper to begin on June 22.
The trial was supposed to have started in January, but legal heavyweight Estelito Mendoza took over Revilla's defense that month and raised new issues regarding the relevance of certain matters such as the issue of ghost projects.
During the Thursday hearing, the anti-graft court denied the defense's last-minute move to exclude the list of evidence and witnesses from the pretrial order. This allowed the signing of the order to proceed.
The Revilla camp wanted the prosecution to rest its case first; this would allow them to prepare for additional evidence before finally submitting the list of exhibits and witnesses.
Mendoza said the defense should not be "precluded from anticipating" the prosecution's moves during the trial. "It is not fair to straitjacket the defense even before the prosecution has presened its case," he reasoned out.
Office of the Special Prosecutor Director Joefferson Toribio objected to the Revilla camp's move, because this meant taking back the pretrial brief they have submitted long ago.
When Mendoza invoked the accused's right to remain silent or "remain silent as long as he wants" on the evidence he would like to present, Toribio retorted: "They provided us the list already. They're not
silent anymore."
Revilla lawyer Reody Anthony Balisi argued that the defense could exercise the right to choose how to use the evidence. But, division chairperson Justice Efren dela Cruz said this did not mean the defense had the discretion to withdraw the evidence.
In the end, theprosecution would still know what the Revilla camp would present, but the defense still walked away with an assurance that they could submit additional evidence should the need arise later in the trial.
Mendoza also informed the court that his team would make "standing objections" during the trial, to object to the court's inclusion of the purportedly irrelevant issue of ghost projects in the trial.
The top defender said they did not mean to delay the proceedings even as they raised various questions at the pretrial stage over the past five months.
"The accused wants a speedy trial. We are confident of being acquitted," Mendoza said. "So, do not worry that we will delay the proceedings."
At the sidelines of the hearing, Revilla echoed his counsel's bravado. "I know it's gonna happen because that's the truth. And the truth will happen by the mercy of God," he told reporters in a rare interview.
Revilla also expressed relief that the trial would start on June 22. His colleague in the Senate minority during the Aquino administration and fellow detainee Jose "Jinggoy" Estrada is set to be tried on June 19, although his pretrial order has yet to be signed as of this posting. Both dates are close to the third anniversary of his June 20, 2014 detention.
"It's three years already. It seems just like yesterday, isn't it? You'd think, wow, it's three years already. We have to stay strong, don't we?" he said. "If we become disheartened, our families will be affected. [I'll] just bear it a little more."
The Philippine Daily Inquirer sought Revilla's reaction to the Duterte government's move to reopen the investigation on the pork barrel scam and include officials supposedly overlooked by the Aquino administration.
Revilla said: "Let's see. For our part, we're after the truth. Whoever is liable should be held liable. Those who were innocent, they should be freed too."
For now, he is seeking a temporary leave from detention to visit his hospitalized 90-year-old father, former Senator Ramon Revilla Sr.
In a five-page motion filed Thursday, Revilla sought two six-hour furloughs to visit his father at St. Luke's Medical Center in Taguig City on Monday, 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., and Tuesday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The motion explained that the elder Revilla is being treated for "Valvular Heart Disease, Severe Mitral Regurgitation, Congestive Heart Failure, and NYHA FC II." He would have to undergo Percutaneous Mitral Clip, a procedure to correct the heart disorder.
The court said it would soon resolve the request since the prosecution did not raise any objection.
"He needs the support, to see his children by his side before the procedure is done," Revilla told reporters. "He's pretty okay. He can still be talked to, but of course, we are asking our countrymen for
prayers for my father." SFM

My family has lived in St. Louis Park for over three generations. I'm proud of my roots here and that this is where I chose to raise my family.
Over the years, I've watched St. Louis Park grow and change. I've spent many of those years volunteering in various roles because I believe that strong, healthy communities are built by rolling your sleeves up, doing the hard work, communicating and lifting each other up.
Now, after many years of volunteer activity and service, I am excited to take the next step by applying my time, energy and leadership skills to the City Council.
Each person I have met along the way has helped me shape my vision for the future of our city. I've heard your stories of struggles and triumphs and I look forward to working with you to make St. Louis Park a better place now, and for future generations.
Many changes are taking place in St. Louis Park, including the Light Rail, which are going to bring significant changes to our community and I believe that my 15+ years as a Project Manager (certified Project Management Professional) will prove to be an asset for planning and managing the changes.
I know the importance of getting residents involved and invested in their neighborhoods, as well as respecting where people come from and the paths they've taken to call St. Louis Park home. Through collaboration, we not only come to understand our community better, but are also able to find better solutions.
I am running for City Council because we need a proven leader who will bridge together participation from all of our neighborhoods, ensuring we all have a voice in shaping the future of our city.
Join me and let's make St. Louis Park even better!
I trust Deb Brinkman. She is a leader who listens.

Fresh Start Waste Services are proudly backing the United Nations' call to beat air pollution this World Environment Day.
The UK has committed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by 2050 (compared with levels in the 1990s).
In line with our vision to lead the way in waste management, we are making conscious choices to reduce how much energy we consume.
This includes maintaining our HGV fleet of wagons that are, on average, four-and-a-half years old (we are aiming to be under four years by 2020.) Many are fitted with the latest green diesel engines.
All our vehicles have received the Government's highest rating for roadworthiness following an inspection which includes tests related to emissions levels.
"Doing the right thing by the environment matters greatly to us at Fresh Start," says our Chief Executive Officer Nicola McGrath. "We are proud to collect and recycle waste right across the North West in a legal and ethical way. We also recognise that we have a duty to minimise the impact of our fleet of trucks by reducing our emissions as far as we can.
'We've taken several positive steps forward to do so and will shortly be announcing our participation in an exciting carbon capture scheme that completes the task. However, there is still more we can do with the support of our customers."
To honour the legal obligations laid out in the UK's 2008 Climate Change Act, Fresh Start will use some of the latest technology to assist with reducing road mileage.
"By driving less, we will be able to cut our emissions to levels as low as operationally possible," explains our Head of Operations Mark Walker.
"We are working with our customers to find new ways to reduce the carbon footprint and do our bit for climate change. Air pollution seems complex, but we can all play a part in reducing it."
World Environment Day takes place on Wednesday, 5 June. As a business, there are many ways to get involved – including:
• Segregation of waste to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill
• Making a pledge to use recyclable materials for your products
• Hosting a company tree planting day
• Using World Environment Day to ensure your power supply is renewable
• Considering low-emission or electric vehicles for the company fleet
• Investigating how you can reduce emissions of air pollutants from facilities and supply chains

This afternoon after getting errands done, I spent some time out back with my Remington Woodsman Bullet Knife. This is one of the limited edition Bullet Knives that Remington has been putting out since 1982. I bought it new in 1985 (the year of issue) and still have the original box and papers. I paid about $30 and after some googling, it looks like they're going for around $100 in 2007. The rest of my investments should do so well (not that I plan on ever selling it.)
When I bought it, the Remington's 440 stainless blades were butterknife dull. I suspect that not much attention was paid to putting a good edge on at the factory, since Remington figured that most of them would be safe queens for collectors. With a lot of elbow grease I put sharp edges on both blades. I touched them up a bit today before going out back.
The knife is 4.25" long closed, with one clip and one spey blade. The scales are made from Delrin. This is a good sized knife, pretty large for a folder but not too big to keep in a pocket. The spey blade is designed for castrating bulls (!) but is also very useful for skinning game. The clip is a good general purpose blade. This pattern with a clip and a spey hinged on opposite ends is sometimes called a "Moose" pattern.
One advantage of a two-bladed design like this is that you can keep one edge razor sharp in case you need a super sharp blade, and rely on the other edge for normal use. Case currently makes a similar knife with chrome vanadium steel, for those who prefer to not use a collector's item and/or who don't like stainless steel knives. I think I see one of them in my future. ;)
Combine a Woodsman or a Case Moose with a 4" or 5" fixed blade knife and a double-bitted hatchet, and you've got a "Nessmuk" combination. I'm nowhere near the woodsman that George Washington Sears was, but I'd feel very well equipped heading into the woods with the Woodsman or a Case Moose, my Victorinox SwissTool RS, Becker BK7, and my Valiant Golok. (OK, I cheated and added one more knife than Nessmuk took, and my fixed blade is longer than his. Sue me.)
The Woodsman has a good heft and feels nice in the hand. It sliced up some hardwood to make fuzz sticks, and shaved some fatwood (the small yellow curls in the center of the first picture) for tinder easily. The thin blades would handle slicing food very well.
After I had a fire going I relaxed with a bowl of Old Ironsides Latakia.
I bought the tobacco mainly because I thought the tin would make a good container for a personal survival kit. The Latakia was nice though, and I plan on going back to see if the shop has any more. The tin was vacumed sealed and to open it I had to pry open the side a little with the reamer on my Victorinox Farmer to let in some air. Neither I, my dad, nor my brother could unscrew it. I figure sealed like that, it should last damn near forever.

All the activities at Old Settlers Park on July 4 means lots of people – who, in turn, create lots of traffic. Please be patient and expect delays. The entrances to the park off of Hwy. 79 and Old Settlers Blvd. will be closed at 8:45pm before the fireworks start so that we can prepare for one-way exiting traffic.
Download the July 4th TRAFFIC Map REVISED (PDF)
- People parked North of Lakeview Pavilion will have to exit to the North.
- People parked South of the Pavilion will have to exit to the South.
- Old Settlers Blvd. will be one-way west bound from A.W. Grimes to Harrell Parkway once the fireworks begin.
- Old Settlers Blvd. from Aten Loop to Red Bud Ln. will be east bound only when the fireworks begin.
- Please be prepared for some traffic congestion at the Celebration and be patient. Plan your schedule accordingly. The City wants people to enjoy the event but some traffic congestion is inevitable. A relaxed, understanding attitude can help make everything run smoothly and safely.
- Please be on the watch for pedestrians, especially children. The Celebration is a popular event for families who will be returning to their cars or homes in the dark as motorists are trying to exit the park. Drive carefully and be alert.
- Please pay attention to Round Rock Parks and Recreation employees who will be directing traffic into the Celebration and park only in designated areas. Parking in a non-designated area may mean your car will be blocked in as traffic begins leaving or it could be towed during the Celebration.
- Please do not park on the side of the road or rubberneck to watch the fireworks. Cars on the side of road or driving slowly add to the traffic congestion and are a hazard. Car engines can ignite dry grass and cause brush fires as well.
- Please avoid reckless driving. Cutting across medians, tailgating, passing on the shoulder, etc. increase traffic congestion and endanger motorists.
- Dogs are not allowed at the Celebration. If you have a dog in your car, you will not be allowed in the park.
- No personal fireworks are allowed in the park.
- Please pay attention to officers directing traffic after the Celebration. Review the above traffic routes and be aware of where you need to go to get out. The Round Rock Police Department will have a large number of officers to help direct the exiting traffic.

Akkarakalam's façade of traditional Keralan railings and pillared verandahs was clearly intended to be approached from the water, which is still how most guests arrive here. Stepping off the hotel boat, you walk though a neat little front garden to enter a quintessentially Kuttanadi interior of red-oxide floors, white walls and dark-wood furniture.
The feel is as close to that of the original ancestral home as a small hotel can get, down to the black-and-white family photos on the walls. The waterfront location is just perfect for deeper explorations of this fascinating area by canoe, as well as nocturnal crab catching trip – or just watching the world paddle past.

In this study, the authors used 900-MHz fields that closely matched the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM). Cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were exposed to the fields at SARs of 0.13 and 1.3 W/kg to determine if the mobile phone fields had any genotoxic potential. For some experiments the exposure also included a known genotoxic compound, methyl methansulfonate. No abnormalities were detected in experiments that were designed to monitor mutation rates and genomic stability.
