Soccer has come to an end again, for two of my children. This year I was an assistant coach to the 8 year old girls team. For the end of the season I made them soccer cookies as a treat. (I copied last year - but apparently forgot to outline the cookies) I am still happy with the way they turned out.
A few years ago I had an awesome sugar cookie recipe, then I lost it. I have been making sugar cookies for a couple years now with an alternate recipe and everyone (aka my husband and children) loves them. Then, it happened, I found my recipe!!! Way to go cupboard organization :) This recipe is the best!
I am so happy that I found it, I thought I would share it, this way I have a backup of the recipe as well!
YIELD: I will update this when I make them again, but I think I got about 32 large circles from a double batch.
Mix together first 4 ingredients until creamy. Mix in flour. Do not add too much.
Roll cookie dough. I like to put a piece of wax paper on the counter, then dough, then one more piece of wax paper. Roll the dough between the wax paper. You do not need to add flour. You may need to flip the "package" of wax paper and dough, pull up the paper and place down again. Roll dough about 1/4" thick. Use cookie cutter or knife to cut into desired shape.
Place on cookie sheet and bake in oven (400oF) for 6-8 minutes or until done. I cook mine for about 6, when done the cookies should be barely brown in a couple spots on the edge of the cookie, the bottom should be pale like the top. Let cool completely and eat as is or decorate.
I squeeze the juice from a fresh lemon, mix all ingredients in a bowl of an electric mixer and mix until desired consistency.
I find the consistency works great for outlining and I add a little water when I want to 'flood' the cookie.
I hope you enjoy! If you make the recipe let me know how they turned out.

Gov. Greg Abbott Signs $11.6 Billion School Finance Measure Into Law
By Patrick Svitek / The Texas Tribune • Jun 11, 2019
Gov. Greg Abbott, center, holds up House Bill 3, the school finance bill, after signing it into law at an Austin elementary school on June 11, 2019.
Miguel Gutierrez Jr./The Texas Tribune
Gov. Greg Abbott has signed into law one of lawmakers' biggest achievements this year, a massive overhaul of Texas' long-beleaguered school finance system.
Abbott put his signature on House Bill 3 during a triumphant ceremony Tuesday at Parmer Lane Elementary School in Austin. The governor was flanked by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, House Speaker Dennis Bonnen and several lawmakers involved in the effort.
"You could not overstate the magnitude of the law that I'm about to sign because this is a monumental moment in public education history in the state of Texas," Abbott said.
The bill's signing represented a capstone to state leaders' laser-like focus on reforming school finance and property taxes since the beginning of the 2019 legislative session session. Abbott is set to sign the priority property tax legislation, Senate Bill 2, during a ceremony Wednesday at a burger joint in Austin that says it is struggling to keep up with rising property taxes.
The $11.6 billion school finance measure includes about $6.5 billion in new public education spending, plus about $5.1 billion devoted to lowering Texans' property tax bills.
The spending will increase per-student base funding by about 20%. It includes money to give teachers raises, fund free full-day pre-K for eligible 4-year-olds and reduce the amount of money wealthy districts must spend to subsidize poor districts through the state's recapture program known as "Robin Hood."
It also, controversially, includes money for districts that want to start merit pay programs, giving bonuses of between $3,000 and $12,000 to their higher-rated teachers. And it provides money for high-needs and rural school districts that need help to incentivize teachers to work there.
Lawmakers have estimated that the bill will lower tax rates by an average of 8 cents per $100 valuation in 2020 and 13 cents in 2021. That would mean a tax cut of $200 for the owner of a $250,000 home in 2020 and $325 in 2021.

Northern Irish loyalist paramilitaries withdraw support for 1998 peace deal
Northern Irish loyalist paramilitary organizations told British Prime Minister Boris Johnson they are temporarily withdrawing support for the 1998 peace agreement due to concerns over the Brexit deal, the Belfast Telegraph reported.
The outlawed groups said in a letter from an umbrella body representing the paramilitaries that the unionist opposition to the Northern Irish Protocol - part of the Brexit divorce deal - should remain "peaceful and democratic".
Northern Ireland's 1998 peace deal, known as the Belfast or Good Friday Agreement, largely ended three decades of violence between nationalist paramilitaries fighting for a united Ireland and mainly Protestant groups who want to keep Northern Ireland British.


From the "A mistaken marriage match" series, which one should I read first?
If you can read Chinese, then read ROWG first. It's the first in the series. But also, if you're limited to the English translations, you may read first all the ROWG translated chapters, afterwards all the AGMC chapters. So sorry, for my late reply to your question. I've taken a time out checking the blog.
Both books are completed in Chinese, but not the English translations. You'll find by the way the continuation of the AGMC translation in Nutty's blog (https://nuttyisprocrasinating.wordpress.com/).

There is No "Mainstream" Conservatism - Jacobin
The line between the far right and "mainstream" conservatism is rapidly crumbling. But the two were never very far apart
"If you go by most of what you see in the media, you would think politics is governed by some strange version of Newtonian physics. "Both sides" are perennially to blame, and if there's ever dangerous excesses on one end of the political spectrum, then they must of course be evened out by the existence of equally dangerous excesses on the other end.
It's why, after George Soros was mailed a bomb, Chuck Schumer felt the need to announce that "despicable acts of violence and harassment are being carried out by radicals across the political spectrum." And why the New York Times, after more explosives were sent to individuals hated by the Trump-loving Right, decided the explosives were adding "to [a] climate of overheated partisan rancor."
Yet we're now at a moment when it's indisputable that only one of these "sides" has actually become a vehicle for dangerous, violent extremism.
I'm speaking about the quickly fading line between the far Right and "mainstream" conservatism. This isn't really a new phenomenon. The dividing line between US conservatism and fringe bigots of various kinds has always been pretty flimsy; the old, "respectable" conservatism represented by William F. Buckley and pined for by today's centrist pundits was also a deeply racist one. It's not a mystery why the Klan endorsed Ronald Reagan for president twice...."
But just consider some of the events of the past few weeks. The "theory" that the bombs sent by Trump superfan Cesar Sayoc were a "false flag" orchestrated by the Left quickly moved from far right internet message boards to being broadcast by "mainstream" conservatives, including Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Lou Dobbs, Michael Savage, various Fox News guests, and even a Republican lawmaker, Matt Gaetz. Gaetz, along with "mainstream" conservatives like Newt Gingrich, also floated the idea that the thousands of Central American migrants traveling to Mexico and the US-Mexican border were being funded by some mysterious agent of chaos. One of these conservatives was pundit and prolific conspiracy theorist Erick Erickson, who for some reason was invited this past Sunday onto Meet the Press where he play-acted as a sober moderate and lectured conservatives to drop the crazy talk.
It called to mind the recent episode in which conservative legal thinker Ed Whelan invented an alternative "explanation" for Brett Kavanaugh's alleged assault of Christine Blasey Ford that involved a Kavanaugh doppelgänger, defaming an innocent man in the process. It also calls to mind that, even now, a majority of Republicans believe Obama was born in Kenya.
This is far from the only recent instance of crossover between the far and "mainstream" Right. British far-right figure Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (a.k.a. "Tommy Robinson") was invited by Republican congressman Paul Gosar to speak to the Conservative Opportunity Society, a group of right-wing House Republicans founded by Steve King. This is only a few months after Gosar traveled to London and spoke in support of Yaxley-Lennon at a protest peopled with other far-right figures, where he called Muslim men a "scourge." The Arizona GOP said nothing.

What's a Redd?
Salmon Hatchery Page Content - Salmon
Female Building a Redd
Each species of salmon shows different preferences in terms of optimum spawning habitat. This ensures that available habitat is used efficiently with a minimum of competition.
The redd is the general location selected by a female for laying eggs. Within that site, she may dig several nests and deposit eggs in them over a period of several days. The female begins by "nosing," an act in which she tests the gravel by probing, while cruising slowly over the bottom in the redd area. Having identified a suitable site, she turns on her side and begins flexing her body violently, slapping the gravel with her tail. This process dislodges gravel, which is lifted and carried slightly downstream by the current. After a series of digging motions, she swims to repeat the process. Sometimes the movements include tight circling or swimming over the nest in figure eights. Eventually, this produces a cone-shaped hollow varying in depth from just a few to as much as 15 inches (38 cm), depending on gravel composition and fish species.
The act of digging attracts males, who compete for the privilege of courtship. As a male manages to successfully ward off competitors, he joins the female in the nest in a series of movements that lead to egg and sperm release. The first of these movements is a "quiver," in which the male moves alongside the female and his body undulates slightly. He may follow this by "crossing over" the female near the base of her tail. As the nest develops, the female begins "probing" the gravel with her tail. Gradually, the probing increases and the circling decreases. The female settles lower in the nest for longer periods. As this occurs, the male continues to quiver and frequently opens his mouth in a "gape."
As the female nears egg deposition, she begins to "crouch," a position much like the probe, but with mouth agape. By opening her mouth, she increases her resistance to the current, which forces her deeper into the nest cavity. When the female assumes the crouch, the male quickly moves alongside. Both rapidly vibrate their tails and the eggs and sperm are released. The eggs emerge from the female one or two at a time into water clouded by the sperm, or milt. As this occurs, other males stationed outside of the nest may rush in to try to fertilize the eggs themselves. If the dominant male makes chase, another male may try to occupy the nest.

Han var assistent vid Lantbrukshögskolan 1935–1938 och blev avdelningsföreståndare och förädlingsledare vid Weibullsholms växtförädlingsanstalt 1939, där han var chef under tiden 1958–1964.

Han nådde värdefulla resultat när det gäller växtförädling av lusern, ärter, rybs och havre samt mot trådmask resistent rödklöver. Han var styrelseledamot av Statens växtskyddsanstalt och blev ledamot av Kungliga Skogs- och Lantbruksakademien 1959. Gelin författade skrifter i botanik, botanisk genetik och växtodling.

Gelin gifte sig 1928 med Inga Bergfeldt (1904–1969). De fick två barn: kiropraktor Jan Gelin (1937–1984) och fotomodellen Ulla Gelin (född 1939), som är änka efter Nils Petter Sundgren.

Americans for Prosperity is a free-market, free-trade, limited government advocacy group according to the non-partisan Factcheck.org. Much of this is due to its founder, David Koch. Koch, along with his brother, Charles, runs Koch Industries, the second-largest private company in the United States. According to Politico, the Koch brothers' network planned to spend $889 million during the 2016 election cycle, double the amount the Republican National Committee spent in the 2012 presidential election cycle. The Kochs distribute money directly to candidates and through a network of super PACs and 501(c)(4)s. The Kochs' political philosophy tends to lean toward the libertarian, as do the causes and candidates they support.
Americans for Prosperity targets Democratic presidential candidates as well as Democrats in Senate and House races who vote against its free-market philosophy. The organization has run ads in tight races to boost Republican candidates, making the most of its knowledge of the FEC's "reporting windows" according to The Center for Responsive Politics. Americans for Prosperity has also been credited with helping to turn the Tea Party into a political force. In 2012, the group spent $33.5 million opposing incumbent Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. The group has not yet endorsed a candidate in the 2016 presidential campaign.
Wellspring Committee gave $1.65 million in 2008; the Center to Protect Patient Rights donated $13.8 million from 2009-2011, and Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce donated $51.36 million from 2012-2014. According to The Washington Post and Mother Jones, all three groups have received money from the Koch donor network and distributing it to other like-minded conservative 501(c)4s or PACs.


During the elections, the photographer Guillaume Herbaut and the journalist Philippe Trétiack go through the whole of France from North to South, taking snapshots of the lives of the electorate.

I Can't Afford a Family Lawyer: What Are My Options
Eliza Comments Off on I Can't Afford a Family Lawyer: What Are My Options
The number of unrepresented litigants is rising. Judge of the Supreme Court of Canada Richard Wagner recently told a group of students that approximately 25% to 30% of those applying for admission to the Supreme Court of Canada are unrepresented and can't afford a family lawyer.
Self-Represented Litigants: The New Normal
Unrepresented litigants are becoming more common, as people often can't afford a family lawyer. In lower courts or administrative tribunals, it is common for litigants to be self-represented. For example, people often do not have lawyers for landlord tenancy disputes. Often lower courts are designed so lawyers are not necessary.
For example, the BC Provincial Court system for family law matters and small claims is intended to be user-friendly so that people do not need to hire lawyers.
Similarly, the Civil Resolution Tribunal ("CRT") is an online process designed to be used without lawyers. The CRT can deal with small claims under $5,000 and strata disputes of any amount. There are even some restrictions on strata councils, companies, societies and co-ops being represented by lawyers at the CRT. They must request permission from the CRT to have legal representation.
The BC government is considering making similar changes to the process of disputing traffic tickets. The Attorney General of BC, David Eby, described it as an optional informal dispute resolution process that would take place without lawyers.
Even in more complex proceedings in the BC Supreme Court and BC Court of Appeal, there are often unrepresented litigants. However, being unrepresented at the Supreme Court of Canada and even the CB Court of Appeal should be rare.
Options If You Can't Afford a Lawyer
If you are involved in litigation but cannot afford legal counsel, there are the following options:
Legal Coaching
Legal coaching is a process where you have a legal professional teaching you how to be an effective self-represented litigant. Legal coaches work with their clients as a team, giving legal advice and creating a plan where the client is in control of their matter.
For more information, please check out our blog post about Legal Coaching at YLaw.
Unbundled Services /Limited Scope Retainers
Unbundled services are different than legal coaching in that you hire a lawyer for specific tasks, such as drafting pleadings, appearing for certain court cases, and providing background advice. Unbundled services can be an affordable option when you need some legal advice but you cannot afford full representation.
Legal aid coverage is based on income and assets. However, as mentioned by Justice Wagner, due to government underfunding of the legal system, there are still many people who cannot afford a lawyer but do not qualify for legal aid. Also, if family property is in dispute, that often disqualifies people for legal aid coverage.
For more information, please visit the Legal Aid BC website.
If you are in a situation where you cannot afford a lawyer, but there is family property, it is possible to apply for an interim distribution of family property to pay for legal services and other expenses related to litigation. To be successful, you have to show that you are likely to obtain at least as much as the interim distribution in the final property division. It is not uncommon for interim distribution orders in the range of $100,000 or more for legal fees.
Interim distributions do require applications to court and usually do require the assistance of a lawyer.
For an example of a case where an application for interim distribution was unsuccessful, please read Leena's Latest Case Victory: No You Can't Have $80,000 To Pay Your Lawyer!
Access Pro Bono and other organizations
Several organizations help people who can't afford a family lawyer:
If you require legal representation, legal coaching, or unbundled services, please contact our office for a consultation.

I started from office at 7.30 PM yesterday.
And spent the rest of the night going home.
The roads were so flooded, one would think one were in Venice.
And I saw for myself: the Mahindra Scorpio IS truly making waves all over! It succeeded in drenching me knee-downwards at least.
Short and sweet blog. was impressed with ur sense of humour.


Design of a new service fluid or fuel facility or updating an existing facility is a complex enterprise, and requires accuracy in both design and the components of the system so that they will meet the Technical Standards & Safety Authority (TSSA) and Ministry of the Environment and Climate Control (MOECC) regulatory requirements, as well as the municipal codes and the client's needs. The focus of the design and installation is to meet or exceed regulatory standards and guidelines to provide a quality installation.
The design of a facility begins by collaboration with the client to determine the business needs of the facility, and then to engineer a facility that is approved by the client while at the same time, meeting all regulatory requirements. Product selection is chosen based on client's needs and budget as well as products approved by the Technical Standards & Safety Authority (TSSA) Fuels Safety Branch for the Province of Ontario. Comco Canada Inc. provides a detailed installation proposal that gives our client a timeline of completion, cost and a detailed scope of the work to be completed. Once the installation proposal is approved by the client, Comco begins application processes on behalf of the client to the TSSA to obtain approval when necessary.
Once drawings are approved, installation of the system can commence. Installation of the system can be completed by Comco's trained and licensed staff of Petroleum Mechanics and Electricians or oversight can be provided of other contractors preforming the work. Inspections and engineering review during the construction process are carried out to meet client requirements.
Pressure testing of tank and product lines.
Testing of fluid measuring devices.
Testing of all components such as: STPs, piston pumps, Dispensers/pumps etc.
Comco Canada Inc.'s goal is to make the design of a new facility or upgrading of an existing fuel facility as smooth as possible for our clients. Our design and installation support provides clients with peace of mind that all construction and regulatory requirements are completed within the timeline and on budget.
Our engineering team has been designing fueling systems since 1964 and is a leader in fuel system design across Ontario.


Predictive analytics is being touted as the best way for marketers to unearth fresh insights into their customer base using the wealth of data, technology tools and data science skills now at their disposal.
In the recent Temkin Group report Prepare for Next Generation VoC Programs, 72 per cent of respondents cited predictive analytics models and open-ended verbatims as increasingly important sources of customer insight over the next three years. Of the large companies with more than 500 staff surveyed, 26 per cent claim to be using predictive analytics software and 36 per cent use text mining software already, with the same ratio of both actively considering investment.
But without the right approach from the CMO and business support, projects can fail to deliver the significant returns they should. So what problems can predictive analytics help the CMO to solve, how do you get started, convince your executive peers of the need for such an investment, and gather the right data to achieve the right outcome?
Predictive analytics is not a marketing-specific methodology or activity, but it is gaining wider application in this sector for a couple of reasons. The first is the availability and cost-effectiveness of technologies delivering the horsepower to churn through immense amounts of data. Increased levels of automation in the marketing function, along with the push to understand consumer behaviour through insights hidden within big data, are also prompting more marketing chiefs to adopt predictive analytic solutions to drive sales and efficiency.
Well-entrenched applications of predictive analytics already exist outside the marketing sphere such as fraud detection and credit risk profiling, while regular users of the methodology include law enforcement, government and pharmaceuticals. Of course like most things, predictive analytics as a concept and intention is not new, and has its roots in data mining, response modelling and statistical regression.
Eric Siegel is founder of Predictive Analytics World and author of the book Predictive Analytics:The power to predict who will click, buy, lie and die. He whittled down predictive analytics in marketing to two main goals: Who is going to buy, and who is going to cancel. The defining characteristic of predictive analytics and what separates it from forecasting is the ability to generate predictions for each individual customer or prospect.
"It's the holy grail of marketing – to proactively pounce on every individual customer opportunity," Siegel told CMO. "Making a prediction about each individual is not such a crazy idea. You could have a business rule for customers who fit into a certain segment based on profile, purchases of a particular product, or geography. That's the 'if' part of the rule. The 'then' part of the rule might be that these customers are three times more likely than average to cancel their subscription.
Like most marketing innovations today, data lies at the heart of successful predictive analytics projects. All industries are getting excited about data because it represents experience and an aggregate recording of things that happened in the company or brand's history, Siegel claimed.
"Predictive analytics is technology or methodologies that learn from that experience and works out how to predict," he explained.
Among the applications of predictive analytics in marketing are recommendation engines for cross-selling and upselling, customer churn, and retention programs. John Elder, the founder of data mining specialist consulting group Elder Research, said text analytics is another area gaining popularity, and some companies are even starting to use link analysis to identify connections between customers and account holders.
The US-based company has customers from all industries and describes predictive analytics as a way of addressing the "needle in a haystack".
The US-based company provides collaboration and project management tools and claims 83 per cent of the Fortune 100 as customers. It has already invested in employing a third-party agency to undertake several predictive analytics projects and is now looking to invest in a software solution.
Alongside the technology improvements, Kaykas-Wolff attributed the rise in predictive analytics to a change in the way companies structure their sales capability. "Sales organisations are increasingly looking at traditional enterprise sales as being inside-sales driven," he claimed.
"The model we had in the past of expensive enterprise sales people in the field, looking for a specific buyer, doesn't make sense anymore. The dynamic today is to have groups of people inside your company looking at opportunities opening up through your website and digital channels, who then try to mine through that data about those prospects and customers and ultimately convert them.
One of the hottest applications of predictive analytics is around customer churn or attrition. A local example is American Express's global B2B marketing team, which is using predictive analytics to identify at-risk customers who otherwise look healthy in its database. Through a pilot project, the company was able to improve identification of attrition risks by 8.4 times, and arm their marketing and sales staff with more accurate lists of individuals to target with retention campaigns and communication.
Another high-profile and controversial international example of the insights that can be achieved through predictive analytics is from US retailer Target. The company successfully predicted one of its customers was pregnant before her father knew when using predictive analytics to apply a pregnancy prediction score to new parents-to-be.
Siegel estimated organisations using predictive analytics to solve a particular customer problem will increase response and/or decrease costs by 15-30 per cent.
At Mindjet, predictive analytics is being applied to inbound trials of its software and activity inside those trials. Resulting data is then fed to the sales team to direct activity.


Sanaa Lathan has shaven off all her hair for her new movie "Nappily Ever After." She looks absolutely stunning. The film is based off the book by Trisha R. Thomas. I read the book many years ago and it one of my favorite books. If you have not read it please go check the book out at your local library or purchase through Amazon. The book is really about the way hair often define black women and their beauty.
Lathan showed off her newly bald head on her Instagram page, and she seems to think it looks awesome as well. "Just doing my reveal", she said casually as she tilted her newly bald head into camera. "So light I feel like I can fly away," she continued before making a kissy face.
In the film, Lathan plays Violet Jones, who has a seemingly flawless life until an accident at the hair dresser causes things in her life to unravel and she begins to realize that she was living the life she thought she was supposed to live, not the one that she really wanted.
As previously reported Halle Berry was originally slated to produce and star in the film and also was going to shave her head for the part. So, its no surprise here that Lathan has chopped off all her locks. We here at The Culture Keeper can't wait to see this Netflix original movie.

The others are not lacking power. They are lacking a reason to use their power.
While the general want for sure is multi shot, Crit damge and crit chance with something like - zoom not all want them the same. Rubico prime will make better use of crit chance and damage than Lanka due to higher base crit chance and crit damage. But knowing even more you will learn that since the Rubico has increased crit damage while zoomed in farther it makes crit chance is better while the Lanka has higher crit chance when zoomed making crit damage better.
The other archwings are not lacking power, they are lacking a reason be be used.
I would be all for the first 2 points. As for the blink on all archwing that would not be necessary if other archwings get a reason to be used with railjack and open world archwing is a separate loadout selection. Giving every archwing a blink just makes them less unique. and ends up with some other factor like health or shields decide which one everyone will use.
Amezha and Odonata were useful for their own reasons in Jordis verdict. And yes I did a lot of trials and it was common to have several of both of these used in a group. Amezha made getting through the tunnels child's play while Odonata had enough shields to make it through tunnels if played decently and the shield amplifying damage against the golem made it a good option as well. Itzal on the other hand was so lacking in shields that you basically always needed shield pads or an Amezha's protection. Elytron was kinda lacking a reason over others and might need some changes or might not. It was jsut not commonly used expecially after Amezha was added making it's large shields less important. Nerfing Itzal blink is not going to make other archwings suddenly used. It is still going to be the fastest and best for things like PoE and Orb Vallis where archwing is used to get across the map in a timely manner. It is like taking Frost to a spy mission when you have Loki or Ivara. Why would you even do it when you have a more efficient option at hand. Itzal is not overpowered it is just the only one that fits into what the game has people doing. Add something like Jordas Verdict back *railjack* and other archwings will be used. As for K Drives They are never going to be as useful as archwing on open worlds unless you buff the hell out of them, make archwing so slow that they are worthless or put something that is actually requires K drives being used to get.
Don't tell him. I need that salt for the popcorn.
So Dual Energy Color and Chroma?
If they make the effects apply for both get ready for the effects to be halved. Honestly think Chroma could have the 4 types as a cycle changed when you hold down his first ability like Ivara 1 or Khora 3.
For our profile can we please have a companion shown and chose which loadout is shown?
I mainly want a headless Kavat always on display.
Since you might have fashionframe on point for some things but others you are just using at that time because they are most ideal for a situation.
This reminds me I need to sell my extra Tipedo riven.
Now that Nightwave challenges are being recycled, it can only mean 1 thing.
If you are trying to present ideas that no one will complain about you are doing it wrong.
Or just make them upset with an auction house and bidding for rivens.
Make them to interesting or somewhat challenging like 40 excavators in a single mission and people will complain about them being to hard. We literally had the 40 wave defense changed to 100 eximus last week. There is no winning over everyone.
Have it actually be bidding and both parties will get what they deserve.
In truth most rivens are not really needed and the game would not be all that different if they were gone tomorrow. Rubico prime being used by Chroma can one or two shot basically anything you would run into before 2+ hours in a mission. The only times when I would hate them disappearing is things like my Venka Riven which allowed for me to get a really good hybrid build with viral damage (it has a .50 disposition which is as low as you can go so hardly a mega powerhouse of a riven but it allowed for something I would have not been able to do otherwise) and kohm no longer being so easily to get to 100% status chance. As such having a rubico riven is a nice power boost but it is really only a bundle of stats that more often than not adds nothing strategic to a weapon. It is not like covert lethality which can turn a Sheev into the most powerful weapon in the game if you know how to use it.

We work to enhance Jewish life in Silicon Valley, and to provide social, cultural, educational and recreational services for the entire community.
We always welcome feedback and would like to hear from you. Please contact us at info@svjcc.org or 408.358.3636 with your questions or suggestions.
Want to receive regular updates on what's happening at the JCC? Subscribe to our mailing list.
Where did the JCC come from? It all started back in the 1850s when the first Jewish community centers were founded as cultural centers for Jewish immigrants. In the early 1900s, JCCs added athletic programs, and later in the century they began to offer summer camps, preschool, informal education, services for the aged, and all the services JCCs are known for today. As Jews became accepted into the mainstream of American life, JCCs began to serve the entire community and today, JCCs welcome people of all faiths.
Our JCC was founded in San Jose in 1973, and received official nonprofit status in 1974. In 1984 we moved to our current 9-acre campus in Los Gatos on the site of the old Berry School. A grant from Arnie and Cookie Addison helped purchase the campus. Mrs. Addison's maiden name was Penzak, hence we became the Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center of Silicon Valley.
The current building opened in 2005. Funds for construction came from Gloria and Ken Levy, Eli Reinhard, and many other donors whose names can be seen on the donor wall in our main lobby. Thank you to everyone in the community who has worked so hard to make the JCC what it is today.
The Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center of Silicon Valley is dedicated to the enhancement of Jewish life by providing for the social, cultural, educational, recreational, health and wellness needs of our community. We provide a common meeting place and extend these services as a resource for the entire Jewish and general community in the town of Los Gatos and greater Silicon Valley.

Although very similar equipment is used for shearing both alpacas and sheep, the animals are handled in very different ways. With a sheep, the shearer will usually sit the animal down between his (or occasionally her) legs. With an alpaca, however, the size of the animal and particularly the length of the neck would make this very difficult. Consequently, the usual approach is to lie the animal on its side, tethering or holding the feet so that it cannot move. Either an assistant then holds the head or (more usually) a soft weight is placed on the alpaca's neck to restrain it. The majority of animals, once restrained in this fashion, will lie quietly while the shearer goes to work. The photograph below shows the shearing process in Peru.

Ken Bishop said it was the desire of the committee's leadership to replace him with a more "compliant" treasurer.
STRATFORD — The man who has been treasurer of the Democratic Town Committee for eight years said this week that he was forced to resign over disagreements on how campaigns were financed.
It is a charge that others on the committee denied.
Bishop was quick to say that the committee has complied with all campaign regulations "under my watch," but he added that the DTC's executive board was unhappy with his insistence that "creative" funding schemes not be used, particularly during the recent special election for the 120th House seat, a cliffhanger won by Democrat Phil Young.
In particular, Bishop questioned the way that the DTC had wanted to attribute ads on Facebook.
Philips said that Young's campaign was entirely above-board.
Some in the party's leadership, who asked not to be identified, said that Bishop was unwilling to adopt new, quicker ways of doing things, such as using text messages to communicate with campaign workers. They also said that he didn't respond swiftly enough in the hectic weeks and days that preceded elections and primaries.
"He always wanted to do things at his own speed," the source said.
Bishop was replaced by Immacula Cann, who has been a part of the DTC for years and ran unsuccessfully for the Planning Commission and the Board of Education. Her husband, Gregory, is the District 5 Democrat on the Town Council. Immacula Cann will be the interim treasurer; party officials said that a search is underway to find a permanent treasurer.
