(SPRINGFIELD, Ore.)—In an effort to raise awareness of healthier eating and increased physical activity among teachers, faculty, and staff in the Springfield and Bethel school districts, PacificSource Health Plans is once again holding a four-week Healthy Life Schools Challenge from April 13 through May 10. Now in its fourth year, the Challenge rewards schools in each district whose faculty and staff replace the greatest number of high calorie snacks each day with servings of fresh fruits and/or vegetables.
The elementary, middle and high schools that consume the highest percentage of fruits and vegetables will each receive a $1,000 donation from PacificSource to be used to support health and wellness efforts within the school. Participants will have a head start toward achieving their goal courtesy of PacificSource, which is providing fruits and vegetables each week during the Challenge.
In addition to healthy eating, this year's Challenge incorporates a physical activity component. Bethel and Springfield school district staff members are encouraged to participate in the "Couch to 5K" training program, a four-week training plan specifically designed to help participants prepare to run or walk a 5-kilometer race. PacificSource has donated race entries to the RunTrackTown 5k and Kids Duck Dash as part of the Eugene Marathon events on Saturday, May 9 to be used by teachers, students and staff.
"Healthy eating combined with exercise is a one-two punch toward achieving fitness goals and an overall healthier lifestyle," said Alexa Shook, director of Health Promotion and Wellness for PacificSource Health Plans. "Staff from each school district will have the opportunity to eat better and move more, while inspiring their students to do the same, both during the Challenge and beyond.
Back this year is the PacificSource Healthy Life Essay Contest, in which elementary students are invited to write in their own words what it means to them to live a healthy life. The winning student will receive free admission to a weeklong Jordan Kent Skills Camp this summer.
More than 60 percent of the faculty and staff at Bethel and Springfield school districts participated in the 2014 Healthy Life Schools Challenge, consuming 23,000 servings of fruits and vegetables and replacing 6,000 unhealthy snacks.
A kickoff assembly will be held at Springfield's Thurston Elementary School on Monday, April 13 starting at 8:30 am. Former University of Oregon three-sport standout Jordan Kent will be the featured speaker.

Existing units stay operational; those approved may not be notified, land could be used for other purposes
Plagued by a series of controversies and scams, it seems, the government is finally planning to do away with the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) programme it had launched in 2006 with much fanfare.
While the existing SEZs will continue to remain operational, those approved might not be notified and developers be allowed to utilise the land for other purposes.
The commerce ministry has asked the Export Promotion Council for EoUs and SEZs (EPCES) to commission a study to Icrier to find if SEZs have met the economic objectives for which the programme was rolled out. It has been given six months for the study.
Ministry officials told Business Standard this had been done to end the turf war between the commerce and finance ministries, as the latter believed some numbers given out by the former on exports, investments and jobs in SEZs were exaggerated.
"There has always been some tension between the two ministries over the success of SEZs. So, we are doing a study by a neutral organisation on whether it has been able to measure up to its objectives. Else, we see no point in continuing with this scheme and giving them tax subsidies," said a senior commerce department official.
The objective of the study was to find if the economic goals had been met, said P C Nambiar, director of the Pune-based Serum Biopharma Park (the country's first biotech SEZ), and the chairman of EPCES. "The finance ministry feels those have not been met," he said.
It seemed the commerce ministry was also keen to do away with the policy so that it could promote the National Manufacturing and Investment Zones (NMIZ), under the National Manufacturing Policy, officials indicated.
It was the Minimum Alternate Tax, imposed on both developers and units from 2011-12 onwards, that took away the interest of companies in SEZs. Additionally, a dividend distribution tax (DDT) was imposed on developers.
However, existing SEZs were reported to be doing quite well. This raised the finance ministry's apprehensions. According to the latest data, exports from SEZs rose almost 30 per cent to $88 billion in 2012-13, from $68 billion the previous year. These were up 17 per cent in 2011-12, compared with $58 billion a year before. These are quite impressive numbers, given that the country's total exports fell 1.76 per cent to $300.6 billion in 2012-13. It means exports from SEZs accounted for 29 per cent of total exports in 2012-13.
Total investments in SEZs rose to $44 billion in 2012-13, compared with $43 billion the previous year. As of March 31, SEZs had generated 1,074,904 jobs.
The government has so far formally approved 577 SEZs, of which 389 are notified. At present, 170 operate across India.
The Parliamentary standing committees on both commerce and finance have been opposing the policy. It has often been said that SEZs have led to large-scale realty scams, offering developers the opportunity to make quick money while enjoying tax exemption.
Tax breaks: Under Section 10AA of the I-T Act, SEZ units enjoy 100% I-T exemption on export income for first five years, 50% for next five years, and 50% of ploughed-back export profit for the next five years

Healthy Open Faced Breakfast Biscuit
Every morning I eat some type of eggs for breakfast but have run out of ways to make them after a while. It really takes a lot of creativity to keep getting enough protein in our bodies as ladies. I used to love boiled eggs, simply sliced in half, with salt, pepper and dipped in maple syrup. Try it! It's pretty tasty…
But after about a week of eating boiled eggs every day you may not want to see another boiled egg. Eggs are a healthy source of protein. Protein helps our bodies have a stronger immune system, build and repair cells, move nutrients and develop hormones.
Really healthy or "complete" proteins are in eggs, fish, dairy, meats and poultry. The protein found in eggs are also lower in carbohydrates.
I always get free range or organic eggs to avoid the chemicals found in animals who are squeezed together in unhealthy conditions or fed antibiotics that seep into our systems when we eat. This same "rule" can be used when getting chicken, beef or any other type of meat (look for free range, organic meats, it will say it on the package.)
Now that all of that health stuff is covered, I wanted to share a recipe that my friend Laurin has created.
She's one of the classiest women I know, a great teacher and a great cook!
She's going to be sharing more of her recipes with us to give us quick, simple healthy meal ideas we can make for ourselves, friends and families. Thanks Laurin!
The wheat biscuit recipe is from here: http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2010/04/08/super-easy-recipe-whole-wheat-biscuits/
Ok, one more health fact: Whole wheat and whole grains are really good for you! Did you know that there are other whole grain alternatives as well like brown rice, millet, spelt, quinoa, buckwheat and spelt? I cook with them all of the time and will share recipes that can get you started eating more whole grains.
They are packed with nutrients like Vitamin B (really good for women of childbearing age, good for women who want to get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy one day), Antioxidants (protect cells, protect and repair tissue), and fiber (cleanses the colon, helps with digestion).
Here are a few organic or all natural brands you can begin to experiment with (I'll add more fun, simple recipes soon):
And if none of that really makes you want to eat whole grains, guess what else? They help you lose weight! They don't stick to you like regular old flour!
According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people who ate mainly whole grains were 49% less likely to gain weight whereas people eating refined grains were more likely to put on the pounds. This is a way to enjoy those "breads" and stay nice and fit!
You can replace your pancakes, biscuits, bread, muffins, cereal, soups, stews and pasta with whole grain options that are less "weighty."
Here's a quick and simple way to make a whole grain, fried egg sandwich that you can take with you on the run (skipping the fast food temptation we often crave lol). No more excuses ladies let's get in shape!
- 2 cups organic whole wheat flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold organic butter
- 1 cup milk (I used almond milk but you can use any kind)
- 2 eggs
- 1-2 organic turkey slices
- Green bell pepper
- Red bell pepper
- 1/2 tbsp butter
- Garlic salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Instructions: (Biscuits)
- In a medium sized bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well with a fork.
- Cut the butter into little pea sized pieces and then mix the pieces into the flour mixture.
- Cut in butter to the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. You may use a fork to mash the butter into the flour.It may resemble pea-sized butter pieces covered in flour.
- Then pour in the milk and mix it all together. Knead the dough with your hands 8 to 10 times and then turn out onto a lightly floured counter or cutting board.
- Pat it out flat with your hands until the dough is a somewhat even ¾-inch thickness (or you may roll it out with a rolling pin).
- Using a cookie cutter or turning a drinking glass upside down, cut out biscuit rounds.
- Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 10 – 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Instructions: (Fried Eggs)
- While biscuits are baking, warm a medium skillet with about 1/2 tsp butter. Once butter has melted, crack eggs directly onto skillet (keeping yoke in tack).
- Add garlic salt to taste. Cook to desired firmness.
- Biscuits should be just about done by this time. In the meantime, slice several slivers of both the green and red peppers. If desired, warm turkey slices on skillet.
- Once the biscuits are complete, slice one in half. Place slice of turkey on each. Then top each with fried egg.
- To complete, garnish eggs with peppers and black pepper.
- Enjoy!

Martin Hengel on Biblical Theology
"From this [Jesus as Messiah] flow consequences for theological reflection as well; for, as the messianic bringer of salvation, he is the fundamental of our faith, who fulfilled the Old Covenant, and breathed the breath of life into the New. His person and work charge us with the task of a 'whole' biblical theology that above all fully realizes its Jewish heritage, a biblical theology that does not eradicate the lines between the Old and New, but properly defines them. I could also express this in the words of Paul with which I began: the Jew, Jesus of Nazareth, became the Messiah of Israel in order to fulfil the promises made to the fathers, and he became for us, who have come afterwrad from all nations of the earth, 'the author of our salvation', because we experience in him what the love of God is, that we might, for the sake of such grace, praise as our Father, the God of Israel and Father of Jesus Christ."
- Martin Hengel, "Jesus, the Messiah of Israel", Studies in Early Christology (Edinburgh: T&T Clark, 1995), p. 72.

Inception. What a movie. Also, there will be sssspoilerssss.
It's got the action, the music, the visuals, the mind-blowing possibility. Every time I watch it, I am wound up, wound down, riddled by doubt and inspired. That's something, considering how many times I've seen it—that, or I'm just crazy—and it's the characters that keep bringing me back. The great performances, establishing quirks and sharp interactions dwarf all else, elevating what could have been just a bloated action flick into a deeply human foray through despair, betrayal, regret and hope.
And I would argue that, incredibly, the most important character is one we never meet: Cobb's late wife, Mal. Her exquisite, malevolent, dream-scape doppelganger is as disarmingly tender as she is ruthless, a walking maelstrom of Cobb's unrealized desire and bottomless guilt. We never see Mal as she truly was, even in his claustrophobically preserved memories. And yet, by the end, I felt that I both knew real-Mal and wanted to know her better.
But how?
How many times have we seen movies where the main character is driven by the death of a loved one? So many. How many times have we seen the loved one, alive and well, before the life-ending disaster? Almost as many. We're used to that set up—almost desensitized to its commonness. But there are far fewer movies where the main character is believably driven by the death of a loved one, who never actually or accurately appears in the story, whether in the present moment or a memory. So how do you make viewers care about a wife who died before the events of the movie, whose memory-fueled avatar is entirely corrupted? Why do I care about Cobb's guilt and barely bated misery? Why on earth do I care about Mal?
I can point to a single moment.
When Arthur and Eriadne study the use of paradox in a clean, high-tech building dream-scape, Eriadne learns that Mal is dead. Her shock is followed by a tender question—what was Mal like in real life? Simply and sadly, Arthur says,
"She was lovely."
It seems innocuous. But that line told me all I needed to know, in order to feel the absence of real-Mal acutely; to sense that something great and truly beautiful had been lost, long before the depiction of her death and before I learned the story behind it. The dream-Mal never says a word that Cobb's guilt-ridden self-conscious doesn't say again and again, or that he didn't say to her when she was alive. So how can Arthur—someone who was less intimately connected to her—deliver so much truth about real-Mal?
Joseph Gordon Levitt's tender acting is powerful and there is always weight in having another character remember the person in question, but his word choice is key. Marion Cotilliard and her gorgeous wardrobe are an intentionally stunning combination, so we already know by now that Mal was physically attractive, meaning there is so much more to Arthur's choice of the word "lovely." He doesn't mean she was lovely to look at—she was Lovely. Her external appearance was lit by an even deeper beauty. Only this explains the suffering-feedback-loop to which Cobb willingly subjects himself, in his effort to keep her memory alive.
She was [truly, deeply, imperfectly] lovely.
Now, that's a gut punch.
As someone who writes first from an emotion then uses that momentum to drive my plots, I am ever looking for new ways to get great feeling across with little effort. This is a movie moment I like to watch over and over, because of how it shows a partial puzzle of a key character, the missing pieces of which you will never find. It makes you wonder about the character's power in life, if they can cause such upheaval in death. It has power in its silence, in the quiet left behind by three words. It leaves you to fill in the blanks. It begs the question, Who was she?
And I write for that.

So, last night I'm in the grocery store, pushing my cart toward the exit. In walks this little old lady. When I say little, I mean tiny. Five feet tall...when wearing heels...and less than a hundred pounds. Itty bitty. Anyway, I notice her because I see this large curler peeking out from under her scarf.
You know the curler I'm talking about. Those older sticky ones that your grandmother used to put in her hair at night so her bangs would be curled the next morning. Of course I immediately thought of my own Nana. I couldn't help but smile. Memories of watching my Nana brush her hair and show me how to pin the curler so it wouldn't fall out in her sleep played in my head.
Nostalgia is a strong catalyst. I could even smell the flowery scent of my Nana's lotion.
Until the little old lady in the grocery store walked past me. I'm not sure if she washed her hair in a tub full of alcohol or drank the bath liquor, but holy WOW! I got a buzz from the fumes wafting off her. Thankfully, she kept moving and I could finally breathe again. I turned, not sure if I'd imagined the whole thing.
Than, as she made her way through the produce section, I watched other people smile when they spotted her...then cover their mouth as they choked on the alcohol fumes. Yep. Little old lady was plastered. And walking just fine. Which brought a scary realization: she drove to the store. Didn't see that one coming!

By the time they reached Tian Monastery, Hadakha had grown tired of the charade. Well, if he was honest with himself, he was tired of Jiang. While she had been fantastic at extracting information from people, especially Jessha, she was constantly talking. Once the shock of the massacre at Garrosh'ar Point had worn off, her natural, exuberant, chatty personality had reasserted itself, and he was longing for a respite. After the jade serpent temple, he'd taken to letting the women go into the towns without him, all for a blessed night of peace. Alone.
Of course, Jiang loved every minute of those nights too, as he heard in excruciating detail the next day. She would have liked to stay longer, especially in the large town of Dawn's Blossom, and he suspected she would have if not for Jessha, who was impatient to reach her brother. When they were on the road, she described all she had learned, and then when she was finished with that, she talked about whatever Jessha had said, and when that topic was exhausted, she talked about whatever came to mind, usually her home and family. She never took offense at his frequent departures to scout the area, simply resuming where she had left off when he returned. He forced himself to pay attention to it all, no matter how banal, because there was something to learn from every little detail. Plus, his Pandaren was improving enormously, thanks to her. She had a knack for sensing which words or phrases he didn't understand, and went out of her way to indicate the Orcish equivalent. She was a brilliant teacher, he had to admit.
Jessha took control as they entered the monastery gates. Speaking briefly to a guard, she beckoned to Jiang and set off in the direction he'd indicated. The guard eyed Hadakha uneasily, but made no move to stop him as they followed the jinyu woman. They passed through courtyards, some empty and some full of people exercising and practising fighting moves, and along beautifully decorated paths, finally reaching a great hall with huge, intricately carved doors. Jessha slowed, took a deep breath, and went to a side door with a small bell above it. She pulled the rope attached and waited. After a short time the door cracked open, and Jessha bowed, saying something to the person inside. The door opened wider, and the jinyu turned back to her companions. "Wait here," she said, "the Master will summon you." Then she disappeared inside.
Hadakha and Jiang moved to the main doors, studying the worn, weather-beaten carvings with fascination. The door was divided into eight tall panels, four across. The top row featured carvings of four animals: a tiger, some kind of bird, an ox, and a cloud serpent. Beneath each one was carved a....monster. The same monster? It was hard to tell. It looked vaguely similar to the energy beings from the Alliance massacre. Could it be related? There was writing on the right side of each panel. Jiang reached out a hand and stroked one carved pictogram reverently. "This is old, Mr. Hadakha," she whispered in awe. "I've not seen anything like these before. I'm not even sure I can read them all." She stepped back to survey the whole door. "The four lower panels are easy enough, they simply say fear, anger, despair and doubt. The upper ones, though..." Squinting in thought, her mouth moved silently as she tried to make sense of the words. "I...I haven't seen these words before, Mr. Hadakha. They might be an old dialect that never made it to the Wandering Isle. Or...they could be names?" Pointing to each one in turn, she sounded them out. "Niuzao. Xuen. Chi-Ji. Yu'lon."
"It is sad that Liu Lang's people have forgotten this. How much more has faded from memory, I wonder?" They whirled at the voice. An older pandaren man stood calmly beneath the side door bell, his hands hidden together in the sleeves of his plain robe. He bowed his head slightly to Jiang, then gestured to the opening. "High Elder Cloudfall will see you now." Hadakha expected protest when he followed Jiang through the door, but the man showed no reaction as he trotted past, as if he had expected them to remain together. A shiver of warning ran through him, his instincts demanding caution.
He looked around the big hall appraisingly as they entered. It was mostly empty, a few altars occupying alcoves along the walls, incense sticks stuck in sand bowls in front of them. At one end sat an elderly Pandaren, and Jessha knelt on a cushion facing him, conversing in low voices. As Jiang and Hadakha approached the pair, the monk said something and Jessha turned to watch them. "Welcome to Tian Monastery!" he said with a broad smile. "Please, come and sit. Will you take tea?" He indicated the two empty cushions before him. Hadakha noticed a tray with intricately decorated cups and a strange-looking teapot sitting beside him.
Jiang stopped at her cushion and bowed deeply. "I am honoured to be in your presence, High Elder," she said solemnly. "Thank you for seeing us." She knelt down on her cushion, then smiled shyly. "I am a little thirsty." she admitted. Hadakha sat behind and between the two women as the monk chuckled and handed Jiang a steaming, fragrant cup. He then looked Hadakha in the eye. "Will you not join us, friend?" he said amiably. Hadakha's companions looked at each other in surprise, then at him. He remained still, confident that his bluff would hold, as it had countless times in the past. Jiang stared at him imploringly, silently begging for a sign of what to do. Jessha turned to the monk in confusion. "Mr. Hadakha is Jiang's pet, High Elder...surely you do not mean to include it in our discussion?"
"Pet?" the monk replied, still holding Hadakha's gaze. "Pets are owned, Jessha. People who are owned, are slaves. I do not think Hadakha is a slave. What do you think, Jiang? Is Hadakha a slave?"
Jiang's face turned to horror. "What?! No! I -" She was interrupted by Hadakha's loud sigh. It looked like his bluff had been called. He shifted back to his tauren form, sending Jessha scuttling back in alarm. "It's ok, Jiang." he said. "Our game is over." Turning to the jinyu, he bowed deeply. "I am sorry for deceiving you, Jessha. I needed a guide, and I was afraid that my true form would frighten you away." His mouth twisted wryly. "Looks like I was right. Be assured, I mean you no harm."
Finally, he bowed to the monk, who was studying him with delight. "Greetings, High Elder Cloudfall. My name is Hadakha Treewalker. I represent the Cenarion Circle, and I am new to this land – as is my friend Jiang. I would very much like to learn about you and your culture, your history and your peoples. It is an honour to meet you."
He lowered his large body awkwardly onto the small cushion. "I believe you mentioned tea?" he said with a smile.

A lovely 5 day solo road trip through Scotland by rental car. I got to see puffins in the wild, and not just one but hundreds! 😀
Cruachan B&B, Appin
I spent three nights in the lovely Cruachan Bed & Breakfast in a tranquil area by a loch. It was a good base for a hike in Glencoe, and a daytrip to the Treshnish Isles from nearby Oban. And they serve an excellent, filling breakfast. They even offer the option to poach your egg (or boil, bake or scramble).
Hiking the Devil's Staircase
Issy of the Cruachan B&B took me on a nice hike on 'The Devil's Staircase' near Glencoe. We had lovely views of various snowcapped mountains, including Ben Nevin.
Seeing puffins on the Isle of Lunga!
A major highlight of my Scotland trip, and in fact of all my travels: seeing puffins from up close in the wild!
Lunga is one of the 'Treshnish Isles' and a 2 hour visit was part of the trip from Oban.
They are such beautiful and cute birds, walking in their clumsy way and making funny purring noises, but quite humbling when you know how well they can swim and fly.
It was amazing how close they let you come, up until about 3 yards / meters. Some were a bit more shy and had their nests up on the hill, but many others had it right along the footpath. Apparently the proximity of humans protect puffins from attacks by other birds who don't like humans.
In 2007 I had been looking for puffins in Iceland but they hadn't come back from their many months out at sea yet. So I was very pleased that my trip to Scotland happened to coincide with the puffins' nesting time! (And also before the midges start pestering humans, from June onwards.)
Lunga also has a big colony of razorbills, who somehow like to cluster together on one big rock and make a huge racket of noise and poo smell. 🙂
Lunga is one of the Treshnish Isles and you can book tours through agencies in Oban. I booked through Staffa Tours but the ticket eventually said Bowman's Tours… I guess it's all the same. Basically you buy a number of tickets and you make your own way on the ferries and buses.
Volcanic basalt columns on Staffa island
We stopped for about half an hour on the pretty little island of Staffa, made of volcanic basalt columns. Nature showing its diversity!
Iona island
We had a couple of hours on Iona island to explore the village, the abbey, the old nunnery… I sat in a nice garden and had coffee in the sun. And I went and took a walk to see some lambs and baby cows.
Back on the mainland! I saw Oban only after getting back from the 12 hour boats and islands trip, so after a lovely dinner I left to go back to my B&B. Oban seemed like a nice enough town to visit though.
Looking for a foresty area I went to Strathyre, stopping along the way at Loch Awe, and driving all the way around Loch Earn just for fun.
The town of Strathyre seemed to be a bit over its peak. I did a walk but that was quite boring over a paved road, perhaps I took a boring route and there might be nicer ones.
The B&B was lovely, and I took my time to relax, read in the nice garden, and watch some films later at night.
The following day on my way back to Glasgow I stopped in Callander which was a nice little town despite comments about it being overrun with tourists (I guess in summer it is, but it was quiet now). I spent an hour reading and having coffee in a pretty little cafe frequented by locals.
Doune castle (Monty Python!)
I also stopped at Doune Castle where some scenes of Monty Python and the Holy Grail were taped! I preferred visiting a low-key castle instead of the completely renovated one in Stirling.
I did stop in Stirling to have an early dinner but it was quite a disappointing city. I walked around a bit after a sandwich, saw a few nice buildings… but then left for Glasgow, the end of my trip!

The Flash recap: 'Untouchable'
Team Flash races against the clock to save Iris' life
The Flash's hot streak continues in tonight's episode, "Untouchable," which finds Team Flash racing against the clock to save Iris from dying via a metahuman's deadly touch. Although said meta's overall motivation for evil was rather lame (revenge is very boring), that didn't cause too much harm to the episode, which was firing on almost all cylinders on the character front. Without giving in to the show's recent Sturm und Drang tendencies, "Untouchable" brings several of this season's plots to a head in a way that's very satisfying and leaves me excited to see what comes next.
So, let's just jump into the episode!
Tonight's episode opens with The Flash and Kid Flash's latest training session, which takes the form of a race. While the two speedsters race around the city, H.R., Cisco, Caitlin, and Iris are back at S.T.A.R. Labs watching the contest and taking bets. Iris and Caitlin put money down on Barry, but H.R. goes all in on Wally. Although Wally is almost as fast as Barry, he doesn't have all of his skills, so Barry ends up winning by phasing. It's a fun and energetic opening scene that gets the episode off on the right foot.
In "Untouchable," we find Barry essentially becoming the Harrison Wells to Wally's Kid Flash, since he's trying his hardest to get Wally ready for his eventual confrontation with Savitar. And the show even swerves into the Harrison Wells comparisons during a later training session, which finds Wally struggling to master the art of phasing. Barry wonders how Wells managed to teach him how to do it, and Cisco points out that Wells had 15 years to prepare.
A couple of murders around Central City call Barry away from his training sessions with Wally. In each instance, the victim died because their bodies started decomposing at alarmingly accelerated rate, which doesn't sound like a fun way to go. The first victim, a chef, sets off alarms because the chef's death means the restaurant will close, which is one of the news items Barry and Cisco saw in the future. Iris confronts Barry about this since it's clear that the future still isn't changing, but Barry says she shouldn't be worried. "I'm scared, Barry," says Iris through tears, revealing that everything is not all right. Yeah, sure she's driven to pursue dangerous assignments at work, but that doesn't mean she's not still freaking about the future. Revealing a new side to Iris in this manner adds some much needed shading to the character.
While the first murder was worrisome because of what it meant for the future, the second one is more terrifying because of its implications on the present. After examining the second victim, Barry realizes there's a connection between the victims: They were both cops in the Flashpoint timeline. Julian runs tests one of the bodies and realizes that he created the murderer — Clive Yorkin, whose touch causes anyone and anything to rapidly desiccate and disintegrate — when he was Doctor Alchemy. This epiphany sends Julian into a mini guilt spiral that cause him to say some insensitive things to Caitlin, who is only trying to help him get through it.
NEXT: Iris finally tells the truth
Barry suggests Joe keep a low profile since Clive is targeting CCPD officers who arrested him in the Flashpoint timeline, but Joe throws caution to the wind because Cecile's daughter is in town, and he really wants his family and her family to share coffee together. It's very sweet seeing Joe in love and thinking about long term plans with his new girlfriend. They all meet at Jitters, and Cecile's daughter doesn't waste any time revealing that she's a big Kid Flash fan, sparking a little hint of jealousy in Barry. Unfortunately, Clive shows up at Jitters looking for Joe and ruins the family fun time. Wally wades into battle to fight him but quickly realizes he can't touch Clive without turning into a corpse. From the sidelines, Barry tells him to use his tornado arms, which works.
For some reason, this latest brush with Clive and his death touch hasn't scared Joe, who refuses to hide out at S.T.A.R. Labs because he wants to check on Cecile. Seeing no other option, Iris decides to come clean about her death in the future to convince him to actually give a damn about his life — and ugh, this entire scene is devastating because of Jesse L. Martin's incredibly moving performance. His eyes fill with tears as he processes the bombshell Iris just dropped on him and realizes that they've all been keeping this a secret. Joe feels especially betrayed by Barry since Barry knows just how much Iris means to him. Honestly, I just wanted to jump through the screen and give Joe a hug.
Obviously, the situation only continues to escalate from here. After failing to kill Joe, Clive sets his sights on Iris and attacks her. Unfortunately, Wally isn't fast enough to stop him from touching her. Once he gets Iris back to S.T.A.R. Labs, Barry lashes out at Wally for not calling him to save Iris, and the rest of the team realizes that the only way to slow the necrosis is to freeze Iris' arm. Although she's scare she'll lose control, Caitlin agrees to user her powers to keep Iris' arm frozen.
Realizing he was in the wrong, Barry goes to find Wally and apologizes for lashing out at him. Furthermore, Barry apologizes for being a bad teacher: He's been relying way too much on Wally's raw talent and hasn't put enough effort in inspiring Wally to be the best he can be. It's a pretty mature moment for Barry, who, if we're being honest, hasn't been the easiest guy to root for this season. Cisco and H.R. interrupt this cute teacher-student moment with an idea on how to catch Clive: Cisco needs to vibe to an alternate universe where Flashpoint is still a thing and figure out who Clive plans on targeting next. The plan works. Laura Stone, who is a private investigator in this universe, is the next victim.
NEXT: A blast from an alternate Earth
Meanwhile, Julian — whose guilt over giving Clive his powers as Doctor Alchemy caused him to lash out at Caitlin — is hard at work on finding a way to stop Clive. Barry and Julian put their heads together and figure out Barry's blood, because of its reconstructive properties, will counteract Clive's blood. At that moment, an alarm goes off. The decay has started spreading up Iris' arm and Caitlin is starting to lose control and turn into Killer Frost. Julian is able to talk Caitlin down by apologizing for the nasty things he said earlier and telling her she's the strongest person he knows, and it works. (Enjoying this scene meant ignoring the fact that I still don't quite understand how Caitlin's powers turn her evil.)
Now, Barry and Wally have to turn their attention back to Clive, because he's decided to make his move against the Flashpoint cop, who just so happens to be on a train with Joe at the moment. Clive uses his powers to destroy a structure of some sort that causes debris to fall on the tracks. Unfortunately, the train is moving too quickly to stop, and the only solution Barry can come up with is to vibrate the train quickly enough to phase through the debris. Obviously it works, because science! ("Holy Kardashian!" says H.R., watching it happen back in the lab. "Holy Kardashian" is my new "Sweet Christmas." Sorry, Luke Cage.) However, the save leaves Barry pretty weak, which means Wally will have to phase Clive on his own. Barry tells him he needs to inject Clive with his blood to by phasing through him. Inspired by Barry's recent first, Wally succeeds and neutralizes Clive.
With the day, and Iris' life, saved, it's time for wrap-up: Joe makes everyone promise complete honesty going forward, because they all need to be on the same page if they're going to have any hope of defeating Savitar. Caitlin thanks Julian, who is now determined to find the last husk metahuman he created, for talking her off the ledge earlier and asks him out for a drink. (How foolish is it for us to be optimistic that Caitlin's latest romantic endeavor won't result in tragedy?) Finally, Iris opens up to Barry about the fact that, until now, knowing he's the Flash hasn't be as comforting as you'd expect, because she hadn't gotten a chance to see his heroic side. But their recent brush with death rid her of those worries.
They may have defeated Clive, but Team Flash has a far bigger challenge ahead — literally. A frantic Jessie Quick runs over to our Earth to inform Wally that Grodd has kidnapped her father. Gorilla City, here we come!
Overall, I thought this was particularly strong episode. It found a way to bring to seamlessly bring several of this season's ongoing stories to a head: Joe finding out about Iris dying in the future; Barry and Wally's mentor-mentee relationship; and Julian and Caitlin's budding connection and the guilt they each feel for their past actions. The episode didn't crumble from juggling all of these storylines because they were all held together naturally, and without too much fuss, by the case of the week. I'm starting to look forward to the rest of the season.
Wall of Weird:
- This is the second week in a row that The Flash has made a meaningful reference to Harrison Wells. Is the show priming us a for a twist coming later in the season?
- Plot hole: How did Clive manage to get ahead of the train even though he left the train station after it took off?
- It shouldn't come as a surprise that caffeine addict H.R. Wells also loves gambling.

Let the Kids Go Fishing with the ECHO Program April 18
Take the kids to Sun Valley for the ECHO After School Program. They'll get to go fishing, and you'll get to have some free time while they have fun.
Fishing at Sun Valley
The ECHO program is free for kids age 8 to 12. On April 18, the kids will get to go fishing, always a fun springtime activity. Activities begin at 6 pm and end at 7:30 pm. That gives parents plenty of time to run errands, do some shopping or just take a nice, long, quiet coffee break. You'll have opportunities to do all of that in Valley Station.
The Sun Valley Community Center is at 6505 Bethany Lane, right next to Sun Valley Park. While the kids have fun here, you can go have fun everywhere else in Valley Station.
Take a Bite of Valley Station
There are several places to eat and shop right down the road from Sun Valley. Just head to Dixie Highway, and you'll find all sorts of reasons to stop and take a look around. Don't leave Valley Station without leaving Dixie Highway, however. You don't want to come to Valley Station without seeing the homes here.
Settled on the banks of the Ohio River, Valley Station is well-known for its rich soil and comfortable family homes. You'll find homes in all sizes here, built to suit all families. Brick, stone and siding designs in traditional and contemporary styles are all over Valley Station. This neighborhood was originally built as a haven away from downtown Louisville, loved for its cool river breezes and tall shade trees. Valley Station still looks like a suburban haven to this day. The pretty homes, the wide lawns, the sidewalks and the schools all make Valley Station an ideal family neighborhood, exactly as it was intended to be.
When you see Valley Station this April, you'll see how easy it is to picture yourself living here.

Every game has the potential to be art in the sense of the word. If you looked at ALL the world of gameing has to offer, no one could even think of saying games can't be. Art is the expression of human skill and imagination. Let's first look at the word "skill". People using skill to create something. Why must we hail the skill of one with a paintbrush over a programer that can write code to create things? They're the same. Now lets look at the imagination within games. Well, imagination is the whole POINT behind every game's creation.
Video Games are interactive art. It brings many other forms of art to create an amazing experience. Now yes, some games are made for the sole reason to entertain. But so is music. We don't see people at war over weather or not music is an art. Because it is. And what does nearly every video game have? Music. For some examples to back this up. Lets see rythem games. Those exist. It's whole fuction revolves around music. THAT is art. Another form of art is through visual imagery. So let's look at games like Journey, Flow, or Flower, all made by ThatGameCompany. And those are just a few. Then there is narrative through plot. Books. To say a game that is heavy in story focus such as an RPG(or JRPG for more specifics) is not art then you are saying books are not art. But they are. Video games take all theses forms of art and bring them together for that wonderful piece of(and you never saw this coming) art. What the art is depends on the creater. It depends on them weather or not their art is good or not. Because every form of art has both good and bad art in each catagory. Video games are no different. If anything they should be hailed more in the art world. Because video games bring ALL other forms of art into one, and when that is done succesfully, we should all be overjoyed and praising it because it did something no other form of art can even possibly pull off. Video games ARE art. ALL video games ARE ART. Weather or not it's good art is your opinon. But all video games are art. And if you would like to hear an example of a game that succesfully pulled off that ultimate form of video game art, here is a few that I find to be remarkable:
The legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Xenoblade Chronicles
Bravely Default
The Legend of zelda: A link to the past
Kingdom Hearts(the whole series)
Pokemon Black and White
Now for my final note. I invite everyone to add to this list. Let people know that there is more to video games then meets the eye. And if you believe you can fully destroy or counter this argument, I invite you to do so even more.
If video games were not a form of art, then why do they hire hundreds and thousands of artists every year. People who are professionally trained in design and get college degrees in art, but somehow don't create art. Does the video game give you an aesthetic experience designed by it's creators. If yes, then it's art.
Art is simply the expression of something through media. Games are also media, and they can express and large range of ideas. Not including video games as an art would be like saying photography or abstract paintings are not art. Just because video games aren't exactly like other media doesn't mean they can't be art.
The word art can be encompassing of a lot of things. Video games do fit under the description of art in the same way that television, radio, and movies do. It is not your basic art but it is still a form of art. Perhaps the issue is the word art is too encompassing.
There may be a broad blanket of the term art that you could fit video games into but for the most part when you use just the word art video games are not included. Neither are television or movies. They may be considered a type of graphic art, but they differ too much from the general term art.
Yes art is included in the realm of video games. Video games are made with quite a bit of art and people like to see the world that the artists were able to create. Art is a big deal in video games because it can make or break the game.
Art is so subjective, but it includes different types of media. Computer animated graphics are art. Some video games are so realistically drawn. Others contain beautiful shading and depth and others vibrant colors. The art in video games has changed and evolved. The Smithsonian now has an exhibit on the art of video games, and while the topic is disputed, many can see the presence of art in these games.
According to wikipedia, The definition of art is "Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, Auditory or performing artifacts, Expressing the author's imaginative, Conceptual ideas, Or technical skill, Intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power" So obviously video games are art because it's a product of human creative expression, No different than movies of paintings.
Video games are not art because they are commercial entertainment. Their content is usually based upon violent fantasies rather than artistic expression. Although the definition of art is famously vague, no art critics judge that video games can be legitimate art. There are plenty of other forms of art for people to admire.
Video games use a lot of art because the developers have to draw like in the animated movies they have to draw every frame in the game and make amazing great art when they make the game all the characters and the backround have to be animated and drawn all the time

Dear Reader:
It has been said that God created man in His own image and likeness, then men returned the favor. If you are familiar with the Old Testament story about Job in the Holy Bible, you may remember that the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord and Satan also came among them (into the presence of God!). The Lord confronted Satan and asked him, "Have you considered my servant Job?" Right?
Since we know by faith that no one and no thing or event exists, moves, or happens without God's knowledge of it, do you think the general mentality of humanity indicates the masses have failed to consider, observe, honor and/or give due regard, respect and reverence to God Almighty and the awesome power and presence of divinity among us?

The Lee Family. Once upon a time Noel and Rena got married and had 2 kids - Doris and Donald. Then one day, Doris got married to Jeremy and had her own 2 kids - Vince and Edda. We all live far apart, and keep moving around. It's hard to keep tabs on each other. Welcome to our blog.
Sunday, November 1, 2009
Jeremy spent a good part of the afternoon digging a large piece of black plastic from out under part of our yard. It was probably left there when they were building the house and then accidentally buried it with a load of dirt. We could see a few square feet of the plastic that wasn't buried - but we didn't know how large it really was.
About a year ago, I started to try and dig this piece of plastic out, but I couldn't see the end of it, so I gave up. Jeremy is much more determined than I am. He is also going to be very sore tomorrow.

Though the site has been in existence since the 13th century, the Square as we see it was opened to the public in May 1844. It was named to commemorate British victory at the Battle of Trafalgar under the command of Lord Nelson.
Today, it attracts millions of tourists all year round but especially in December when a brightly-lit Christmas tree takes center stage.
Art and History at the Square
The Square is centered around the towering Nelson Column guarded by four magnificent bronze lions. Two soothing fountains on either side of the Column feature mermaids and dolphins. The Square also boasts of several statues and busts of kings and great leaders.
Amenities in the Square
After all the basking in the English sun, if you feel a craving for a cuppa or just a bite, there is a Café on the Square (usually open 10am to 6pm). Uniformed Heritage Wardens are available 24 x 7 to guide you and assist in any way they can.
By the way, don't expect to feed pigeons here. As of 2003, it is a banned activity (although many people still do).

Another season of PBS Television's Masterpiece is in full swing with the return of Grantchester and the premier of Prime Suspect: Tennison. We've already seen the end of Downton Abbey, Indian Summers and Home Fires, the latter cancelled with yet another cliff hanger ending. Such is life in British television. Fans will no doubt eagerly await the return of Poldark, Call the Midwife and others, but for now, let's take a peek at the shows currently running as part of the PBS Sunday night line-up. I've watched them all, however there won't be any spoilers so don't fret gentle readers.
1. Prime Suspect: Tennison and Endeavour
We came to love Helen Mirren as Inspector Tennison in Prime Suspect through 7 seasons and much like the late John Thaw in Inspector Morse, fans have hungered for more. Endeavour has been a fabulous look at the shaping of young Morse, so well cast and ably acted by Shaun Evans and a cast that includes the great Roger Allam and Anton Lesser. Endeavour is my personal favorite of the newer mysteries, perhaps because I was a huge Morse fan. Inspector Lewis never quite did it for me, but I appreciated the fact it carried the Morse mythology further. How does Prime Suspect: Tennison fare?
Let's first look at a few previous BBC shows featuring young, strong female constables that preceded it. The critically acclaimed Life on Mars with John Simm and featuring Liz White as PC Annie Cartwright set the standard for a young, brilliant woman dealing with the male dominated atmosphere of the 1970s. It's sequel/spin-off "Ashes to Ashes", starring Keely Hawes, took place in the 1980s, however elevated her character to detective, but dealt with the same issues of misogyny and other issues of the day. "WPC 56", starring first Jennie Jacques as PC Gina Dawson, and Claudia Jessie as PC Annie Taylor, tackled similar issues a decade earlier in the 1950s. Tennison takes place in the 1960s, and is a much grittier turn on a similar theme. Like Endeavour's Evans as a younger Thaw, you can begin to see Mirren's character evolve in Stefanie Martini, who plays the young Jane Tennison with a quiet conviction.
What can I say about Endeavour? This is perhaps the best season yet, and faithful Morse fans will be in for a treat. Morse will face a myriad of challenges to overcome, both professionally and personally. I won't give anything away, but long time viewers may want to revisit the classic episode from the original series "Dead on Time"; as Morse encounters his ex-fiance, all while falling in love again in the midst of a homicide investigation. A truly, bitter sweet ending with Thaw turning in one of his best performances of the entire series. Endeavour will touch on the events of that episode and it's one you won't want to miss.
2. Grantchester
What can I saw about the uber talented James Norton as Sidney Chambers, the mystery-solving vicar in love with a pregnant married woman? Between the last season of Grantchester, starving fans got to see him in the brilliant new adaptation of "War and Peace" as Prince Andrei Bolkonsk, and again as he reprised his role as the maniacal Tommy Lee Royce in "Happy Valley". Robson Green is back as the flawed Chief Inspector Geordie Keating, and longtime EastEnders actress Kacey Ainsworth as his dutiful wife. So much happens in this season that to say anything other than this is perhaps the best yet should suffice.
3. My Mother and Other Strangers
Like Vanessa Redgraves in "Call the Midwife", "My Mother and Other Strangers" is narrated by Ciarian Hinds, now the full grown son who recounts his childhood and his mother's exploits back in Ireland. This is yet another World War Two era, star-crossed love vehicle that follows in the footsteps of "Home Fires", Canada's "Bomb Girls", "Land Girls", and "The Durrells in Corfu". Ironically, most of these series were cancelled before reaching a satisfying conclusion. My Mother and Other Strangers ends the season on a cliffhanger as well, so only time, the BBC, Rebecca Eaton and ratings will tell if it returns.
I highly recommend watching each of these shows, and if you are a true Masterpiece fan, you will be pining for more. Fortunately, you will also have new seasons of "Poldark", "Call the Midwife", "Victoria" and others to look forward to. More on those shows and others next time.Filed under: Arts & Entertainment

Release Date 2016
"Sure Melanie, that's great news." Maggie tried to sound as happy for her sister as she could. Judging from the look on their Father's face, he wasn't anywhere close to thinking about retirement. This was wishful thinking on the part of Maggie's Mom and sister. It was clear it was what the two of them wanted, and very clear that it wasn't what he wanted.
"Well Dad," Melanie said after a long silence, "We'd better get going. It's getting late and Mom will be worried about us. Will you be home soon?"
"No, tell her I'll be working late and may well not be in until sometime in the morning. You girls be careful, we have some strange things happening lately."
As Maggie walked out to the car with Melanie, she wondered what really was going on in their small town. There had hardly been any news, but Melanie and Mom and spoken again and again of all the sirens they'd been hearing. Were Dad and the departments covering something up? If so, what could it be?
Suddenly, fear gripped Maggie. What if? No, it couldn't be. Things started happening before she got here. Hopefully her Arizona life would stay there and wait for her return.
Each day that Maggie spent here, she took a chance. What would happen if her family, especially her Dad, knew her secret?

One of Indiana's two genealogy associations, the Indiana Historical Society, will put on Midwestern Roots 2008 on the east side of Indianapolis Friday and Saturday August 15-16, with a full slate of pre-conference activities on Thursday the 14. Speakers of national renown will include Christine Rose ("Using Little-Known and Neglected Sources" and more), Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak ("Cases That Make My Brain Hurt" and more). Also I hope to hear Betty Warren on Indiana marriage laws 1791-1891, Alan January on state hospital records, and Curt Witcher on directories. Pre-conference workshops will include internet research, history lab, library resources, and preparing your family history for publication -- or you can revel in the resources of the Indiana State Archives, the genealogy division of the Indiana State Library, and the IHS's own William Henry Smith Memorial Library. This is the perfect venue for those of us who hesitate to spend the time and money to go to the week-long national extravaganzas (which I also love).

Some kids dread the first day of school, but the Hernandez family woke up at 5 a.m. Monday anxious to start classes.
Carmela Apolonia Hernandez stood in the doorway of North Philadelphia's Church of the Advocate as her kids jumped into a waiting car. She could not go with them because her ankle monitor kept buzzing.
The Hernandez family has lived in sanctuary since mid-December. That ankle device has been with the 36-year-old mother even longer. It was given to her in 2015 when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials issued a deportation order for the family.
U.S. & World
But six weeks after entering sanctuary, Hernandez is determined to give her kids the most normal life possible, which includes getting them back into the classroom despite the risk of detention.
"I don't know what's going to happen," she told NBC10. "We have a lot of support from the community."
In reality, things might not end well for the Hernandez family.
They first crossed into the United States from Mexico in 2015 fleeing gun violence that claimed the lives of their relatives. Hernandez's brother and two of her nephews were gunned down by narcotraffickers when they couldn't pay extortion fees, she said.
Hernandez feared the same fate if she remained in her hometown.
At the San Diego border, Hernandez voluntarily presented herself to border agents and begged for refuge. Instead, she and her children were arrested, detained for three days and sent to Pennsylvania to be reunited with a relative, an American citizen, pending immigration proceedings.
Recently, Hernandez's ankle monitor has begun to beep and buzz more frequently. She thinks ICE is trying to wear her down, Hernandez said.
But on Monday morning, Hernandez was flanked by local lawmakers, religious leaders and immigration advocates who would escort her kids out of the church and into greater Philadelphia.
"I'm a little nervous about what's going to happen today, but I'm also happy to be returning to school," said 13-year-old Keyri. "I missed it."
The Philadelphia School District is ready to receive the children. Superintendent Dr. William Hite, through a statement, told NBC10 that "every child has the right to access a free and public education that develops their fullest potential."
"Our schools are safe places to learn, and we welcome every child and family with open arms regardless of background," he added. "We wish our new students all the best as they begin their first day in our public schools."
ICE generally avoids enforcement at "sensitive locations," including schools, medical centers, religious institutions and ceremonies and even public demonstrations, according to immigration officials.
"In an exercise of discretion, ICE has allowed Ms. Hernandez to remain free from custody while finalizing her departure plans," immigration officials said.
She was ordered to leave the country in December.
By sending the Hernandez children to school, immigration advocates are issuing the latest in a string of snubs against immigration officials.
Last week, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner announced the appointment of a special counsel within his office who will work closely with prosecutors to reduce deportations for low-level and non-violent offenders. Meanwhile, Mayor Jim Kenney tweeted last week that he would not visit a White House that "vilifies immigrants."
And advocates with the New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia are "ready to mobilize" should ICE arrest the Hernandez children, according to community organizer Sheila Quintana. The organization has reached out to Democratic lawmakers, including Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker.
But inside the Church of the Advocate, Hernandez seemed more like a concerned mom on her children's first day of school.
"I told [my kids] to stay strong and not to worry because everything is going to be OK," she said.

Apple and Android still have Microsoft beat by a large margin when it comes to global tablet shipments, but that doesn't mean demand for Windows slates hasn't been growing—even if it is a small market. Recent statistics from Strategy Analytics show that Microsoft has seen an increase in tablet market share following Windows 8's release in late 2012.
The Redmond-based company held no stake in the tablet market during the first quarter of 2012, but those numbers jumped from 0.0 percent to 7.5 percent after Q1 2013. While Apple still remains at the helm of the tablet market, its numbers saw a sharp decrease between Q1 2012 and Q1 2013—dropping from 63.1 percent to 48.2 percent. Android was the big winner, increasing its share from 34.2 percent to 43.4 percent during the same time period.
MORE: Tablet Buyers' Guide: 5 Questions to Ask Before You Buy
Additionally, global shipments of tablets running Microsoft's Windows OS increased from zero in Q1 2012 to three million in Q1 2013. Although Microsoft seems to be gaining some traction among tablet users, the research firm cites "very limited distribution, a shortage of top tier apps and confusion in the market," as factors that are holding back shipments.
Other than its self-branded Surface and Surface Pro tablets, a wealth of manufacturers such as Lenovo, Samsung, Acer and ASUS have partnered with Microsoft to launch slates based on its new Windows OS.
While it's clear that Microsoft still has a long way to go to catch up with its rivals, Strategy Analytics' research shows some indication that there is a demand for Windows 8. The study comes just after the IDC blamed Windows 8 for one of the biggest PC sales slumps in history.
"At this point, unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed to provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to have slowed the market," Bob O'Donnell, IDC Program Vice President, Clients and Displays, said to The Wall Street Journal earlier this month.
Microsoft is expected to roll out an update to Windows 8 nicknamed "Windows Blue" that may address some of the software's criticisms, such as bringing back the operating system's Start button. The company will reveal more details at its Build conference in June.
