Where is the best place to stay and have fun in Solvang?
There are so many options, but recently, Keys 2 the Coast set out to explore Solvang and enjoy one night of fun, good food and a change of scenery.
Solvang, in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, is always a delightful place to visit for a quick getaway. If you want to check out the numerous wineries and tasting rooms that this region offers, you'll need to make several trips or plan an extended stay.
There is so much to see and do in the Santa Ynez Valley, which sits between the Santa Ynez Mountains to the south and the San Rafael Mountains to the north. The area is breathtaking.
Driving there is a feast for the eyes. To put a spotlight on some of the best things to do in Solvang, I would be remiss to not mention the joy of getting there. It's hard to explain such beauty, especially after it rains. The rolling hills, dotted with oak trees and surrounding mountains, are a deep verdant green, with lush swaths of bright orange and yellow poppies and purple and blue lupin, offering a display of color that you won't ever forget.
Our Keys 2 the Coast 48-hour getaway was a wine and food adventure. Once we arrived in Solvang, we spotted the Landsby Hotel at 1576 Mission Dr., which is the main road through town, aka Route 246. When we walked in to check it out, we immediately knew it was where we wanted to stay.
The Landsby has 50 charming rooms. It's one of the nicest boutique hotels that I've had the pleasure to stay in.
It is bright and spacious and has a contemporary, clean and simple, yet elegant, Scandinavian design. The decor is bright with neutral colors and lively artwork. It is interesting and unusual to see comical pictures of llamas throughout the property, created by Rachel Brown.
The hotel lobby bar is a fun place to sit, with the cast of attractive, interesting characters behind the bar making impressive signature cocktails, like their blackberry mule. You simply must try a shrub cocktail if you haven't had one. They originated in San Francisco and the Landsby introduced it to our area. It's fresh fruit, vinegar, flavored vinegars and sugar, boiled down into a shrub syrup and pour it into the drinks. Or you can do a cold saturation. It's one-third shrub, one-third spirit and one-third tonic water. It's unique and delicious. It's important to mention that they do happy hour seven days a week, which the locals love.
After a great cocktail we decided to wander around the village. There is something for everyone. Interesting shops, museums and bakeries are in abundance. The Mission Santa Ines is a nice place to visit and enjoy the beautiful garden.
For dinner, we decided to dine at the Mad & Vin Restaurant, which means food and wine in Danish, inside the Landsby. This restaurant is awesome, offering wine country-inspired dishes made with fresh, local produce and seasonal ingredients. The wine selection is immense, with a limited beer selection.
We were lucky to be in Solvang on Wednesday. We were able to check out the farmers market. Local honey, fruit and vegetables and tons of flowers can all be had for reasonable prices.
One of my favorite things about coming back to our suite after a long day of exploring, was pouring myself a glass of Sanger 2014 Tre Anelli Movedre, then sinking into the deep tub of warm water and L'Occitane bath crystals. Even if you're not a bath person, you will want to take a bath in this enormous tub that could seat six people. Ok, four people, if you've been hitting the bakeries all day.
Next step, throw on the luxurious robe and sit downstairs by the fire. What a treat it was to wake up in a big comfortable bed, in the loft at the Landsby.
At checkout, we met Barry Prescott, the general manager and he told us that he took on the challenge to totally redo the hotel and adding a restaurant and bar. The bar is so popular, that plans are underway to expand it next year.
In addition, Barry is working on a project for one of their sister properties, the Santa Ynez Inn, to redo the restaurant. Previously, it was the Vineyard House. The new restaurant, slated to open in 2020, will undergo a two million dollar renovation. Barry mentioned, "We provide an experience that is comfortable, relaxing and fun and elegant, all rolled into one." Barry has born in England and he has opened hotels, bars and restaurants in New York, Chicago and Santa Barbara. He decided to settle in Santa Barbara County. And were glad he did.
Before you leave town, you might want to treat yourself to one more delight. Stop into Chomp, at 1693 Mission Drive, and let Mattie make you the most delicious strawberry malt known to mankind.
It doesn't get any sweeter that a trip to wine, dine and explore in Solvang!

A: you can use cURL, for example
  $data = [
    'username'      => $username,
    'email'         => $email,
    'password'      => $password
];

//open connection
$ch = curl_init();

//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, count($data));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));

//So that curl_exec returns the contents of the cURL; rather than echoing it
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

//execute post
$result = curl_exec($ch);
echo $result;

"Right Hand Man" is the eighth song from Act 1 of the musical Hamilton, based on the life of Alexander Hamilton, which premiered on Broadway in 2015. Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote both the music and lyrics to the song. The song introduces then-General George Washington to the musical, and culminates with Hamilton becoming his eponymous "right-hand man".

Synopsis
At the very beginning of the American Revolutionary War, Alexander Hamilton reiterates his desire (as laid out in "My Shot") to fight in a war in order to rise up from his poor childhood. Aiming to be promoted to a position of command in the Continental Army, Hamilton hopes to get the attention of General George Washington, who had been appointed commander-in-chief at the Second Continental Congress. Aaron Burr then introduces Washington, who discusses his frustration with his forces in the fight for control of New York City. Hamilton attempts to reverse the tide of the battle by capturing British cannons that were attacking his unit in the Battery. These actions bring Hamilton to the attention of Washington, who decides to recruit an aide-de-camp after retreating from Brooklyn. Burr applies for this role, but is dismissed in favor of Hamilton, who reluctantly accepts the eponymous role at the song's conclusion.

The song contains the lyric, "Now I'm the model of a modern major general", which is adapted from the Major-General's Song from The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan. The credits of the 2020 film adaptation of Hamilton acknowledge this as the source of the lyric.

Analysis
The song serves to introduce George Washington, a role originated on Broadway by Christopher Jackson.

Elizabeth Logan, writing for Huffington Post, considered the song to incorporate recurring motifs from the musical, such as "throwing away my shot" - a reference to My Shot. It further sows seeds of discord between Hamilton and Burr due to jealousy,  and this becomes important in Act 2 of the musical, where the two duel in Weehawken, New Jersey.

The lyric "Now I'm the model of a modern major general" is a reference to The West Wing and Gilbert and Sullivan's 1879 comic opera "The Pirates of Penzance". Lin-Manuel Miranda is known to be an avid fan of The West Wing, and this is one of several West Wing references in the musical. "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" is the first lyric in "Major-General's Song" in The Pirates of Penzance, which Aaron Sorkin references several times throughout season 2 episode 5 "And It's Surely to Their Credit". The phrase "model of a modern major general" appears in The West Wing in season 4 episode 14 "Inauguration: Part I" when President Bartlet speaks of Will Bailey's father.

The song receives a reprise later in the musical, when Washington asks Hamilton to assume the role of Secretary of the Treasury in the Cabinet of the United States.

Critical reception
BuzzFeed ranked the song as the 22nd best in the musical, while The Young Folks had it ranked 19th.

Vibe.com said that it marked a return to the initial "1990's feel" of the musical.

And the jews are planning an even greater slaughter: all Gentiles.
Thanks for the source of the quote (your comment below). I'll now move the picture into this comment and use another pic more suitable for this blog.
Thanks for the link to a partial translation of 200 Years Together. We need it in Lulu or something. Long works like the Archipelago or this one can only be properly read on paper.
Perhaps your Russian speaking readers could translate the rest and have you upload it.
Most interesting. Is there a PFD of the entire review by Devlin? A cursory view on the fragmented articles at TOQ looks like a must read.
Not the whole review but each individual part is available in pdf somewhere. If not online I believe I have them saved on my computer, I'll look later.
PDF version is actually two parts, not four.
Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin could have all been wiped out by the Russian government, along with their fellow terrorist jews, countless numbers of times, yet the Tsars let jews assassinate Russian officials with impunity. They did nothing, and then the Romanovs eventually found themselves getting murdered in a basement.
Then again, Christianity ruined the White race and made most of us incapable of doing what's necessary to end the Jewish threat once and for all. Even the National Socialists ultimately didn't have what it took. They were still too Christian and too democratic. They didn't have enough of the barbarian in them to win that war.
Why would the Russian government want to be overthrown by a bunch of psychotic Jew revolutionaries that hated their guts? That is a very naive interpretation of the Bolshevik Revolution.
And I don't think what you say about the Russians attitude about WWII is particular just to them. The same can be said about the U.S. or any number of other White countries.
As far as your third paragraph, there is not much to argue with there.
It's not that they wanted to be overthrown, it's that they were oblivious as to what was going on, and incapable of dealing with the problem effectively because they were constrained by their Christian morality.
Furthermore I never insinuated that other allied countries weren't/aren't equally stupid. I focused on Russia because this post was about Russia.
Interesting comments from the untermenschen. They all understand that Putin is their boy.
After a certain point if they would've assassinated Lenin his followers would have torn everyone in the government apart limb from limb. I don't think it was morality so much that held them back from doing this, but more likely confusion and incompetence, as you say.
On a wider scale, I see your point though. 200 Years Together (or Devlin's extensive review of it) gives a perfect example of this, of Christianity being a stumbling block to viewing the Jews in a proper way.

Show moreArthur Schnitzler's novella Fräulein Else is an inner monologue of a nineteen-year-old bourgeois woman of fin-de-siècle Vienna. This literary form allows direct access to both latent and manifest content, that is, to Else's conscious, preconscious, and unconscious thoughts. Insight into her mental data exposes psychical conflict and uncovers sexual desire. For Else, this desire creates the affect shame due to her internalization of the social code of Vienna, which denies her sexual expression. Her psychical conflict reflects inefficacious attempts to maintain the social bond by adhering to the social code and avoiding the shameful exposure of her sexuality. Else's failure to uphold the social standards regarding female sexuality in fin-de-siècle Vienna finds representation in an act of exhibitionism, which creates irrevocable shame that ultimately ends in self-destruction. This paper utilizes an amalgamation of psychoanalysis and sociological frameworks to locate the causality of Else's shame in the relationship between sexuality and society.

I have to say I like this concept quite a lot. Just looking at the mix of color up there makes me giddy! You have teeny bags of colorful micro glitter, which you can either sprinkle on your nails or mix into a bowl to for dipping your nails in. I made up a bag of color "drops" that coordinate, and they'll be great as accents!
This giveaway will run until April 18th at midnight. Widget for entering is below, so keep reading! Please click the "Terms and Conditions" link at the bottom of the Rafflecopter widget, that is where you will find the rules! Thank-you!
Thank you for tis lovely giveaway!
I prifer loose glitter to dip my nails !!!
Dip and sprinkle loose glitter.
I like the option of both, but right now I prefer placing pieces vs. dipping.
I like both, but if I had to choose I'd say placing glitter so I have more control ~ Thank you for the giveaway!


Peace operations and conflict management have been core elements of SIPRI's work since the end of the cold war. Currently, our work within peace operations and conflict management consists of three main pillars: (a) peace operations data and trends; (b) the future of peace operations in the New Geopolitics of Peace Operations Initiative; and (c) gender and peace operations and conflict management. In addition, based on its many years of experience, SIPRI has taken on many evaluation and 'lessons learned' studies, as well as consultancies regarding topical peace operations issues.
SIPRI collects annual statistics on all ongoing mulitlateral peace operations in order to identify and analyse important trends in international crisis management and peacebuilding efforts.
The initiative aims to enhance understanding about UN and non-UN peace operations and their role in dealing with non-traditional security challenges.
This initiative looks at how emerging powers will shape the future of peace operations.
SIPRI conducts applied research on various dimensions and dynamics of police in peace operations.

Posted on 2 October 2017 14 February 2017
Language family: CELTIC
Alphabet: ROMAN
Scottish Gaelic, Gàidhlig, is an Insular Celtic dialect belonging to the Goidelic group, which also includes Irish and Manx.
It has similarities with Irish, Breton and, like other Celtic languages, is an Indo-European language.
There are two main dialects of Gaelic, the northern and southern, which are geographically distinct. The southern dialect is closer to Irish than the northern, and is more inflected.
Gaelic is now spoken in Scotland by around 70,000 people, the majority of whom live in the Hebrides (particularly the Outer Hebrides), in some areas of the West Highlands and in some urban communities, for example in Glasgow.
Surprisingly, Gaelic and not English is the language which has been spoken in Scotland for the longest uninterrupted period of time.
It had its golden age in the early Middle Ages. In subsequent centuries, English pushed it back into the rural areas, until it was eventually spoken only in the Highlands. Following the depopulation of the countryside, however, significant Gaelic speaking communities settled in the cities. It was these communities that gave birth to the "Gaelic revival" at the start of this century. This has led to the foundation of university departments, publication of books and newspapers and, most recently, new media including radio, TV and websites. Gaelic must be taught to young people if it is to survive: to meet this need, there are now bi-lingual classes in elementary schools.
Does Gaelic use any special characters which there might be problems displaying?
No, the language uses the Roman alphabet and there are no problems in displaying it.

Das Pinguinenkap (, in Argentinien ) ist eine Landspitze im Zentrum der Südküste der Seymour-Insel vor der nördlichen Ostküste der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Es liegt südöstlich der James-Ross-Insel am Südrand des Erebus-und-Terror-Golfs.

Wahrscheinlich sichteten Teilnehmer der britischen Antarktisexpedition (1839–1843) unter der Leitung James Clark Ross' die Landspitze erstmals. Eine grobe Kartierung nahm der Norweger Carl Anton Larsen bei seiner Antarktisfahrt mit der Jason (1892–1894) vor. Eine neuerliche Kartierung erfolgte bei der schwedischen Antarktisexpedition (1901–1903) unter der Leitung Otto Nordenskjölds. Dieser benannte die Landspitze nach der hier ansässigen Kolonie von Adeliepinguinen. Im antarktischen Sommer 2009/2010 wurde die Anzahl der Brutpaare auf 16.000 geschätzt, weshalb BirdLife International das Pinguinenkap als Important Bird Area (AQ070) ausweist.

Home / World War II / Air Offensive Against Germany
VOICES IN FLIGHT: RAF NIGHT OPERATIONS
A series of stories from the sharp end of the Second World War in the air conducted at night. The accounts collected by historian Martin Bowman range from how it felt to be on the receiving end of the Blitz in Britain to transcripts of BBC broadcasts from bombers as they carried out retaliatory raids on Germany. Moving and exciting.
VOICES IN FLIGHT: RAF NIGHT OPERATIONS quantity
'The Navy can lose us the war, but only the Air Force can win it. Therefore our supreme effort must be to gain overwhelming mastery in the air. The Fighters are our salvation but the Bombers alone provide the means of victory…'
So said Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the War Cabinet on the first anniversary of the outbreak of war. But when Britain declared war on Germany in September 1939 her bombers were predominantly twin-engined types like the Wellington, Whitley and the Hampden which after suffering carnage during the day were soon switched to night operations.
Wartime speeches alone cannot begin to describe the misery and fortitude, desperation and terror endured by the civilian population during the 'Blitz Nights' in Coventry, the London docklands and the East End as night after night bombs and incendiaries rained down on them. Their personal experiences and those of war correspondents like James Negley Farson are as vivid, poignant and descriptive as those of the bomber crews carrying the war to the enemy in the early night bomber offensive. These too are mostly recounted at first hand, sometimes in BBC broadcasts to the nation; and they include 'The Unanswerable Double'; 'Winged Words'; 'German Defences'; 'Getting Frightened'; 'Jump For It!'; 'The Night The Fuel Ran Out'; 'Flames, Flares and Fires'; 'Busted Flush'; 'The Tail Gunner's Story' and 'Hampden and 'Wimpy' Ops'. They tell just what it was like to fly in a heavy bomber over occupied Europe.

Q: Could not help but xxx-Time tense I am an English learner. I am stuck with the usage of "could not help but xxx"
What would be a proper time tense used after the "but"?
Should we always use the Original Form or use the respective forms (e.g. did when referring events happened in the past)
So which is correct?
I could not help but laugh at her yesterday.
I could not help but laughed at her yesterday.
Thanks in advance!

A: The phrase you have provided is what's known as a negative polarity item (NPI) - a phrase that only appears in negative contexts - and uses the form:

*

*"I could not help but to [infinitive]..."

*"I could not help but [infinitive]..."

2 is just a shortened version of 1, and tends to be more commonly used.
...so to use your example:

I could not help but laugh at her yesterday.

That being said, we tend to write "I could not help but laugh" - when speaking, the contracted form "I couldn't help but laugh" is more natural usage of the expression.

Delano South Beach Hosts Exclusive Olive Oils From Spain Miami Launch Event
Haute Scene, News
Photo Credit: World Red Eye
The Olive Oils from Spain Global Tour has landed in Miami at none other than the iconic Delano Hotel in South Beach to celebrate the occasion. The promotional brand of the Spanish Olive Oil Interprofessional, in collaboration with the European Union, hosted an exclusive soiree at the hotel's Beach Club for an evening of exotic, Spanish Olive Oil-influenced cuisine and libations.
Mr. Candido Creis Estrada, Teresa Perez, Chef Seams Mullen, Enrique Cordoba, & Maripaz Pereira Cordoba
Guests were invited to join award-winning chef, author and health & wellness expert, Seamus Mullen, to kick off the second stop of the global tour in Miami. The tour is the brand's three-year marketing campaign to introduce international travelers and cooking enthusiasts to the brand and adopt the healthy Mediterranean diet and lifestyle—and there's no better ingredient to truly taste it than with Spanish olive oil.
Invitees got to try unique dishes highlighted by Spanish Olive Oil and created by Chef Seamus throughout the evening and pair the flavorful bites with creative olive oil-infused cocktails crafted by the award-winning bar team from Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Co. Cocktails included a tequila-based olive oil margarita that highlighted the light Mediterranean bites perfectly with a sweet zest, as well as a refreshing sherry & olive oil cocktail in addition to a wonderful selection of Spanish wines.
After a demonstration from the guests of honor on how to enhance your culinary creations with olive oil and learning about the versatility, health benefits and gastronomic pleasures of the ingredient, the group took an olive-oil based shot to toast the spectacular evening.
Chef Seams Mullen & Gabby Fernandez
As part of the Miami launch, Olive Oils from Spain is partnering with Miami International Airport to launch a month-long pop-up olive oil lounge in the airport inside the North Terminal. Travelers will have the opportunity to taste the best olive oils in the world with their express tastings and unwind in the lounge's relaxation area, which is also equipped with a kids' space, WiFi hotspots and more. The lounge will remain open in the airport from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. from September 28th, 2018-October 25th, 2018.
"Given the city's rich cultural diversity and the exciting position the city holds as one of the nation's finest culinary headquarters, it was only natural that our next campaign stop on the Olive Oil World Tour would be Miami," says Teresa Perez, manager of the Interprofessional of Spanish Olive Oil. "In the first half of 2018, Florida has welcomed more than 65 million tourists from all across the globe. Here in Miami, we are achieving a global impact that extends far beyond the city and the United States. We must not forget that we Spaniards have a very special bond with this wonderful place."

First things first and the first place Mr. Vang went to look for his wallet was the meeting-room but it wasn't there and when he asked around about it, all he heard was that no one had seen his wallet. Mr. Vang didn't waste much time worrying and he thought of checking his car for the same but he had to go to his desk first to pick up his car keys. That's what stress can do to you. He was trying hard to stay calm but the amount of money he had been carrying was quite significant and the very thought of losing it was agonizing for him.
Mr. Vang picked up his car keys hoping for the best and headed straight up to the parking. It was the last place where he could have possibly kept his wallet or dropped it and if his wallet wasn't there then only God knows where else it could be!He checked every corner of his car in an effort to find his wallet but as it transpired, he had actually lost it.
The wallet was nowhere to be found and the man was now worried sick. He had lost his wallet that contained $1500 cash, an amount that meant a lot to him. I would say that losing $1500 of hard earned money can put anyone in distress and the cash wasn't the only thing he had lost along with his wallet. He had lost his identification documents, ATM card and his credit cards which he kept in his wallet.
While losing his wallet was already bad enough, Mr. Vang started imagining the worst of the consequences after realizing that he had misplaced his wallet. The first thing he assumed was what if his wallet ends up in bad hands and his cards get misused? He had already lost a lot of money and he couldn't afford to lose more and end up being indebted. Was there anything he could do to make things any better? Probably not, but he could save the situation from getting any worse by doing a simple thing.
Mr. Vang did what every individual who has lost their wallet should do first. He did the smart thing from his end and immediately blocked all his credit cards so they couldn't be misused. Most of the people take too long in doing so and there are times when their cards are misused by malicious people. Not only that, but he also decided to get it reported in the police station after finishing his office hours so that his Id's don't get misused as well.
After realizing the harsh reality of losing his wallet, Mr. Vang was worried as he had been carrying those $1500 for a special purpose and he hadn't told his wife about it yet. So he decided not to call his wife and tell her that he had lost his wallet that had $1500 of cash stashed in it. He didn't want to grow Melissa's worry but she would soon get the news in the most unexpected way ever.

Cambuslang's Midge returns for tour
CAMBUSLANG singer Midge Ure is returning to Glasgow as part of his new tour with Ultravox.
Kenny Smith
Updated 18:32, 25 OCT 2013
Get the latest top news stories sent straight to your inbox with our daily newsletter
The band will follow the release of their forthcoming new album – Brilliant – with a UK tour, starting in Bristol and playing Glasgow's Clyde Auditorium on Sunday, October 7.
This will be the first time the band have played live since their Return To Eden reformation shows of 2009.
Midge explained: "It's always such an important part for us – the presentation of the live show – building the environment to play the music in.
"We want to make our take on it as individual and memorable as possible so that when you walk out of the venue and you put the record on in six months time it takes you right back to the moment you saw it live on stage."
Ultravox were formed in 1979 after Ure and Billy Currie formed a close bond playing together in Visage.
The pair decided to resurrect Currie's former group, the synthpop band Ultravox, which had been presumed defunct since guitarist Robin Simon quit and lead singer John Foxx left to pursue a solo career.
Ure joined the band as singer and guitarist to complete what has become known as the 'classic' Ultravox line-up of Currie (keyboards, violin), Chris Cross (bass) and Warren Cann (drums). The album, Vienna, was recorded in 1980, and although it was the band's fourth album, it was the first one to chart and was only a minor success upon first release. However, when the title track, Vienna, was released as a single in early 1981, it became a huge hit and spent four weeks at number two in the UK chart.
It was kept off the number one slot by John Lennon's Woman for a week, and then Joe Dolce's novelty hit, Shaddap You Face, for a further three weeks.
Vienna did sell more copies than either of these records and ranked as the fifth best selling UK single for 1981. It also won Single of the Year at the 1981 Brit Awards. After working with Bob Geldof for Band Aid in 1984, and Live Aid the following year, Ure's successful debut solo album came in 1985, and the fifth and final Ultravox album with Ure – U-Vox – was released in 1986.
Although another Top 10 hit, the album and singles fared less well than their earlier releases.
In 2009 Midge and the other members reformed Ultravox for the Return to Eden tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Vienna album, followed up the next year with a second round of the tour.
The Brilliant tour will feature brand new material from the album alongside classic tracks from the band's hugely influential back catalogue.
Midge added: "We're cherry picking what will work in the context of a set. There'll be a good element of the Brilliant album and we're looking forward to taking these songs on the road."
Tickets priced £32.50 go on sale at 9am on Friday, May 18, from ticketSOUP.com or 0844 395 4000.
The new album Brilliant is released on May 28.

After a painful breakup, Clementine undergoes a procedure to erase memories of her former boyfriend Joel from her mind. When Joel discovers that Clementine is going to extremes to forget their relationship, he undergoes the same procedure and slowly starts to erase the woman he once loved. But there is a twist—it will be set in the year 2052 instead of 2003. These are selected props from the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind that I designed for the movie if it were to be set in the future instead of contemporary times.
Lacuna is the company that the two main characters (Joel and Clementine) use to erase their memories. In the film the company sends out a letter to Joel's friends stating that his ex-girlfriend Clementine has erased her memory of him and not to mention their relationship to her again.
This is a gift that Joel buys for Clementine when he tries to apoligize after she erased her memory. Once Joel realizes she has erased her memory, he decides to erase his too. An employee of Lacuna, named Patrick, uses all the information about Clementine that he recieved from Joel and pursues her after Joel's procedure. He uses this gift he stole from Joel to try and win Clementine over more because it's a necklace that's just her taste.
Montauk is the setting of the first date between Joel and Clementine. It signifies the begining of their relationship and is the first place that establishes a consistent theme throughout the movie, The theme of trying to escape.

Matters of the heart are always on the mind around Valentine's Day, but what about matters about your heart? February is American Heart Month, and it's a great time to reevaluate how you're taking care of your ticker. One of the best ways to keep your heart as healthy as possible is by sticking to a diet packed with healthy fats and antioxidants like those found in this super easy Roasted Salmon with Mango-Strawberry Salsa.
If you're afraid to cook fish, don't be! It doesn't get much easier or faster than a filet of roasted salmon. Depending on the thickness of your fish, this dinner can be done, start to finish, in as little as 15 minutes. Add a side of quinoa cooked in veggie broth to fill out the meal and get a nice dose of healthy fiber (also great for heart health), and you've got a winner-dinner.
This salmon is paired up with a fruity and tangy Mango-Strawberry Salsa. If you're salmon-adverse, serving it up with some fruit salsa might just be the ticket to getting the Omega-3 packed fish on your menu regularly. The sweetness of the salsa helps cut some of the fishiness of salmon. Sounds like a weird combo, but trust me, it works!
For the best heart-health impact, make sure to take a close look at the kind of salmon you buy. Wild-caught salmon is pricier, but it also provides a bigger nutritional punch. Farmed salmon has a tendency to be fattier (and not with good Omega-3 fatty acids) and is often linked to unsustainable farming practices. You can read more about the health and environmental impact of the fish you buy and eat through the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch. Many supermarkets carry wild-caught salmon in fresh filets and frozen packages (which are often more affordable). To your heart!
Preheat oven to 400°. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon filets skin-side-down onto the parchment. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
Roast in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes for a filet under 1″ thick. You'll want to start checking for doneness around the 10-minute mark (overcooked salmon = not good). You know the salmon is done when it looks opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is roasting, combine the diced mango, strawberries, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium-size mixing bowl. Toss to combine.
Serve salmon hot with salsa on the side. Garnish with additional lime wedges and chopped cilantro, if desired.


The lead engineer behind the Toyota 86, Tetsuya Tada, has revealed a goal to create a performance brand rival to challenge Audi's quattro GmbH, BMW's M and Mercedes-Benz's Mercedes-AMG divisions, while personally dreaming of not only a Toyota Supra successor but also a new version of the iconic Celica GT-Four.
Continuing on that line, Tada-san reveals that if he had his own way, he'd love to see a modern-day production-car successor to the globally successful rally beast that was the Celica GT-Four.
Teaming a turbocharged 2.0-litre 3S-GTE four-cylinder with a five-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive, outputs were in the realm of 180kW of power and 300Nm of torque (depending on year, specification and market sold).
"I would prefer a new Celica GT4 – turbo, four-wheel drive. [It's a] really fun car and really fast. And [it was fast on] every type of road.
Apparently they want the World Rally Vitz to be a thing.
I've just seen a magazine article here that says they may make the S-FR into a wider, more powerful car so they can sell it globally, but that would set the release date back to 2021.

Brian Mooney: Waiting almost over for Leaving Cert students
New grading system and CAO points structure may cause confusion
Mon, Aug 14, 2017, 01:00
Most schools announce in advance what time they will be distributing the Leaving Cert results, in individual envelopes to each candidate. Photograph: Getty Images
The Leaving Cert results are available on Wednesday, online, by post or in schools.
External candidates who registered individually with the State Examinations Commission (SEC) had the option of receiving their results by post on Wednesday at their home address.
The SEC will make all Leaving Cert results available online from noon on Wednesday on examinations.ie.
To access the results online a student or their representative will need both their Leaving Cert examination number and an individual pin code supplied to them earlier this year by their school. Anyone missing either number can secure it through their own school .
Most schools announce in advance what time they will be distributing the results, in individual envelopes to each candidate, usually between 9-10am. At around 7am the school principal will have visited the local post office to collect the all-important envelope from the SEC.
Before the students arrive each principal, along with their deputy and guidance counsellor, will review each student's results to identify anyone whose grades may cause disappointment, upset or distress. This enables teachers to approach these particular students after they open their envelope and put the outcome of their Leaving Cert in context. They will also be able to advise any student about all options open to them.
New grading system
This year's Leaving Cert sees the introduction of a new grading system and CAO points structure.
At higher level there are seven bands of 10 per cent each, from 100 down to 30, for which CAO points are secured.
Crucially, students who secure 30 per cent on a higher paper from 2017 onwards are deemed to have met the requirement set by colleges whose entry requirements require specific subjects to be passed.
Brexit linked to sharp rise in EU students' CAO applications
College applicants 'cannot afford student accommodation'
CAO: College applicants banking on strength of Irish economy
This new regulation applies retrospectively to all previous Leaving Cert results where a students secured a grade E at higher level. At ordinary level there are six bands between 100 and 40 per cent which similarly secure CAO points.
CAO points calculations
There is likely to be some confusion in some schools on Wednesday morning as both students and teachers translate the new Leaving Cert grades into the new CAO points associated with each grade, not forgetting the 25 bonus points awarded to those who secure a minimum of 40 per cent in higher level maths, or whose LCVP (Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme) grade is among the best six the student secures.
Both students and parents need to be careful in calculating their scores. The Irish Times will include a CAO points calculation chart in a supplement in Wednesday's edition of the paper.
In previous years both students and parents have looked to the previous year's CAO points' requirement for their listed courses to speculate which course they are likely to be offered a place on next Monday, August 21st, by the CAO.
This will be somewhat of a pointless exercise in 2017 given that the new scores associated with each grade are totally different to the previous system, other than that a H1 still attracts 100 CAO points.
Offers of CAO Places in 2017
The CAO points score of the student offered the final place on each course, which determines the points score requirement which will be published in next Monday's Irish Times supplement, will probably not be too far removed from last year's number.
The level of variation from one year to the next in CAO points requirements is determined by any change in the level of demand for places on specific programmes, or by an increase in the number of places offered, which will result in a lower points requirement as more students further down the list of applicants receive offers.
The CAO has already offered places to mature applicants (over 23 years of age) in early July, and to students applying on the basis of Further Education (FE) awards on August 4th.
Although those securing offers next Monday are the third cohort of this year's 80,000-plus applicants to do so, the CAO refers to next Monday's offers as the first round because it is as such for those applicants who did the Leaving Cert in 2017.
Joy and disappointment
If I am to give one piece of advice to both parents and students prior to receiving the Leaving Cert results on Wednesday morning, it would be that there is no such thing as a bad result.
There are progression opportunities available to every Leaving Cert student. Securing a CAO place is by no means the appropriate pathway to follow for every young person. There are excellent, totally appropriate, FE options suitable for thousands of school-leavers, which in many cases will lead them back into the CAO system a year from now, academically stronger and more prepared to take on the challenges of college life.
Furthermore, there is now a whole series of new apprenticeships in insurance, accounting, ICT (information and communications technology) and financial services among others, available to school-leavers.
The options for young people are endless, so don't be disheartened whatever the result. Every student's result should be a cause for celebration.
The Irish Times will operate an online helpline service, staffed by highly qualified guidance counsellors, from Wednesday morning until the middle of next week. They will answer questions from any parent or student regarding either the consequences of an exam result or a CAO college offer or non-offer.
I will be writing advice columns daily in The Irish Times from this Thursday until the end of next week to support our readers and their sons and daughters in navigating their way through this important decision time in their lives.

Nearly twenty years ago, Dr. Marc Hedrick at Cytori Therapeutics predicted that in years to come humans would someday donate their adult stem cells from fat tissue the way blood was, and is, donated today in order to cure diseases.
Fast forward to 2019 and Dr. Jeffrey Gimble, CEO of LaCell is doing just that and more.
The company he founded, LaCell LLC, is a private firm comprised of several stem cell researchers based out of the New Orleans BioInnovation Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The seven staff members are passionate about the clinical translation of stem cell research and Regenerative Medicine, as evidenced by their extensive research and innovation.
The company specializes in the production of premium quality stem cells, testing reagents and culture media for scientific investigators in academic laboratories and for biotechnology companies worldwide, offering the highest quality premium stem cells, culture media, testing reagents, and contract research services.
"We are dedicated to improving the scientific community's knowledge about stem cells. And our research is highly cited and addresses important issues in tissue engineering, Regenerative Medicine, stem cell characterization, and even the creation of a new and improved in vitro adipocyte model," explained Dr. Gimble.
Dr. Gimble's professional career has focused on the isolation, characterization, and clinical translation of stromal/stem cells from adipose tissue, bone, and bone marrow, resulting in more than 200 published manuscripts. Together with his co-founder, Dr. Xiying Wu, he began LaCell to provide expertise to the broader academic and biotech research communities.
"Understanding the complexities of stem cell biology is crucial to knowing how to use them most effectively. We have performed several studies analyzing how donor age, protein expression, and cryopreservation affect stem cell's ability to be used therapeutically," explained Gimble.
With funding through a Small Business Innovative Research grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIH), LaCell has performed in-house discovery research that has generated "proof of principle" data documenting the potential safety and efficacy of adipose-derived cells in the treatment of pressure injuries in an accepted murine model. Pressure injuries, also known as pressure ulcers, are a common but under-studied surgical problem. Elderly nursing home patients and paraplegics/quadraplegics are at especially high risk for developing pressure injuries. The treatment of this disorder has been estimated to cost the U.S. health care economy $26.8 billion USD (2016) and accounts for up to 4% of the health care expenditures in developed nations such as the Netherlands. LaCell plans to extend its studies through an FDA approved Investigational Device Exemption clinical trial in collaboration with its strategic partner, Tissue Genesis (Houston TX and Honolulu HI).
In 1999, Dr. Gimble left a long career in academia to join Zen-Bio as its Director of Tissue Engineering. Then in 2000 he co-founded Artecel Sciences, where he served as Chief Scientific Officer and whose mission was to develop tissue engineering products based on the use of human adipose-derived stem cells. After the sale of the company in 2003, Gimble joined the Pennington Biomedical Research Center where he remained on faculty until 2013 as a tenured Professor developing methods for the isolation and characterization of adipose derived stem cells for regenerative medicine. Finally in 2010, he co-founded LaCell to deliver premium quality human stem cell products to research laboratories.
LaCell's co-founder, Dr. Xiying Wu received her M.D. from the Norman Bethun Medical University in Changchun, China. After one year of clinical training, Dr. Wu decided to pursue a research pathway, immigrated to the United States, and began working on stromal/stem cells with Dr. Gimble in 1991. Wu has worked in stromal/stem cell research in and out of academia, and has co-authored over 50 manuscripts. In 2012, she moved to a full-time position as Vice President of Research & Development at LaCell LLC. Dr. Wu plays an integral role in determining LaCell's commercial and scientific direction.
"We learned about ARMI from another Member, Nina Tandon PhD MBA, at Epibone and then had the opportunity to speak with ARMI's Chief Regulatory Officer, Dr. Richard McFarland, after which we felt we had a good synergistic fit with the mission and other Member companies," said Gimble.
LaCell has deep experience in cell culture, staining and cell differentiation protocols with over 70 years in R&D and would like to assist ARMI members with their needs.


Leading tormented souls to succumb.
Replacing them with primative urges.
Rendering them hollow and defiled.
Who's to blame for the moral decay?
Misplacing censure to cloak parental shortcomings.
Reaping what we sow our just deserve.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it.


With a 425-horsepower, 6.1-liter HEMI engine up front and 71.6 cu. ft. of cargo space in the rear, Magnum SRT8 hauls in more ways than one.
Street and Racing Technology (SRT) engineers began with a solid foundation and successfully injected SRT DNA in order to produce a vehicle that can cover a quarter-mile in the mid-13-second range and haul home a brand new 27-inch TV.
The new 6.1-liter SRT version of the legendary HEMI engine was inspired by the original family of HEMI engines, particularly the namesake hemispherical combustion chambers that provide power and efficiency and select visual cues including the classic orange-painted cylinder block and black valve covers.

Paul Parkman, MD (inset, circa 1960), graduated first in his class at Upstate in 1957. He became a pediatrician and virologist who helped isolate the rubella virus (above, in a microscopic view), develop the first widely applicable test for rubella antibodies and the first rubella vaccine. "With the exception of safe drinking water, vaccines have been the most successful medical interventions of the 20th century," Parkman says. (Rubella vaccine photo courtesy of Sciencesourceimages. Photo of Paul Parkman courtesy of Archives and Special Collections, Upstate Medical University Health Sciences Library)
How do we know, for sure, that vaccines don't cause autism?
"Science has a funny thing about absolutes. If you ask a scientist, 'Can you say for sure?' the scientist will say, 'I can't go beyond my data. But the data, which involves multiple studies and thousands of children, convincingly shows that it's not associated. I believe it's not associated,'" says Paul Parkman, MD.
Parkman, now 86, is a Weedsport native and Upstate graduate who helped isolate the rubella virus in the early 1960s, then developed an antibody test and vaccine. He started his career as a doctor at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and served as director of the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research from 1987 to 1990.
(Hear Paul Parkman, MD, describe the frightening epidemics of childhood diseases that existed when he was working toward a vaccine for rubella in the 1960s.)
In 2005, he gave an oral history at the National Institutes of Health in which he shared his worry of people who mistrust vaccines. He told the story of rubella, also known as German measles. It was thought to be a mild childhood disease, which had to be differentiated from the more serious rash-causing diseases of measles and scarlet fever. Only later did doctors learn that rubella caused pregnant women to miscarry or to deliver babies with severe congenital deformities.
Parkman remembers the last major rubella epidemic, in 1964. If a pregnant woman developed a rash, she would worry about the potential for miscarriage and whether her doctor would recommend abortion, so she would not deliver a baby damaged by the virus. Women feared the disease, with good reason.
Parkman says some parents today mistakenly believe they don't need to have their kids immunized. Young adults today weren't alive to remember previous epidemics.
"Maybe the immunization of all the other children in your neighborhood will protect you," Parkman continues in the oral history, "but if you and the lady next door and the guy down the street decide not to be immunized, you'll have a problem again, sure enough."
Reading Parkman's words today, he seems to have predicted the growing measles epidemic with which the United States is now grappling.
When Parkman was studying rubella viruses, the epidemics seemed to come in waves, every six to nine years. So with a rubella vaccine available in 1969, government leaders at the Division of Biologics Standards of the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made some decisions that proved wise. They had to decide who got the vaccine first.
"We made the decision to use it in children 1 year of age, the first time when you really could get good antibody responses. Before that, the antibody response can be interfered with by maternal antibodies," he explains. "So, you start immunizing at one year of age up until puberty.
"If you really push hard and get all those kids immunized, you're going to stop the epidemics, because children are the ones who really spread the virus.
"And we did it. If you look at those epidemic curves, they bumped up and down every six to nine years. After 1969, no more big epidemics."
An estimated 12.5 million Americans got rubella during the epidemic from 1964 to 1965, including 11,000 pregnant women who lost their babies, according to the CDC.
Once the vaccine was in widespread use, the number of people infected with rubella dropped. Today fewer than 10 Americans are reported with rubella each year.
Protection today
The MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps and rubella. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends children receive two doses, the first between 12 and 15 months of age, and the second between 4 and 6 years of age.
Measles, mumps and rubella are contagious, viral childhood infections that can be avoided through vaccination.
Measles can be serious, even fatal. Measles outbreaks have been reported across the United States, with the majority of cases occurring in people who have not been vaccinated.
Mumps causes swelling in the glands that produce saliva, and complications can lead to hearing loss. Mumps was common in the United States until vaccination became routine.
Rubella (German measles) is usually not as severe as measles, and its symptoms are generally so mild they may be difficult to notice, especially in children. The virus can cause fetal death or serious birth defects if contracted by a woman who is pregnant. The CDC declared rubella eliminated in the United States but cautions that children need to be vaccinated to prevent its re-emergence.

The Seventh Sunday after Pentecost: Let us offer to God our hands, our will, our generosity - "Orthodox Moldova" | "Orthodox Moldova"
On the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost (of the Healing of two blind and one dumb men, Matt. 9: 27-35), His Eminence Metropolitan Vladimir celebrated the Divine Liturgy in the Metropolitan Nativity of the Lord Cathedral, assisted by assembly of priests and deacons of the Cathedral, and surrounded by numerous lay church-goers.
Present at the service were many parents with children, which points to the care of the Christians for the spiritual health of the coming generations. Truly the Church of Christ is the earthly mirror of the Kingdom of Heaven, with its utmost values and virtues of love and care for salvation young and innocent souls, and it is the church where children have an opportunity to experience the approaching to God, assisted by and following the example their parents who are aware of the fact that the best teaching in life is their own example.
Through these simple Gospel stories of people's healings and salvation, Our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us that strong and unshaken faith is the core of our liberation from any infirmity and illness that are nothing but consequence of sin and man's departure from God. If by doubt and sinfulness the human being falls from the Creator, then the restoration may come only through faith and cultivation of virtues. And it is only spiritual vision that can give us an opportunity to see the imprint of God's creation anywhere around us, and give glory to Him for His utmost mercy to the humanity.
This Sunday was very special for deacon Iuventin Gojan, who was ordained by Metropolitan Vladimir into priesthood and appointed to the parish of St. Archangel Michael and Gabriel in Soldanesti town. The archpastor cordially congratulated the young cleric and wished him to bear his cross of priesthood with much dignity and model Christian humility.
Following the Thanks-Giving prayers, the church-goers left the holy shrine in peace, in order to spread it wherever they go, and to return again to prayer, for the next Divine Liturgy, to replenish their spiritual forces.

Letter: Why all the Confederate Flags?
As a resident of Mantua I'm used to seeing an occasional Confederate flag. Lately, however, I am seeing them even more. I'm well versed enough to know that at the outset of the Civil War, Lincoln's administration had the primary goal of keeping the Union together at all costs, even if this meant maintaining the institution of slavery. But I also know that it was because of slavery specifically, and the type of capitalism the South espoused (agrarian aristocratic war capitalism) that conflicted with Northern industrial capitalism based on wage slavery and led to the Civil War. Karl Marx saw this internecine societal conflict festering as a correspondent for the New York Daily Tribune. Lincoln himself was particularly prescient in his House Divided Speech of 1858 when opining on the clashing civilizations occupying the United States. It was the issue of slavery spreading into the western territories that drove the war, as it was a relic of the old way of doing capitalism. Lincoln gave purpose to the mounting death toll with the Emancipation Proclamation and later, lobbying Congress to pass the 13th Amendment. So, as Northerners, why are we flying Confederate Flags?
It was the large slave owning wealthy southerners who wanted secession. These aristocrats had very much to gain from slavery spreading to the west. The poor whites of the south had nothing to gain by maintaining slavery, so the southern elites turned it into a war about state's rights. This duped whites into believing they were fighting for their states, but in reality, they fought and died for the prestige and wealth of southern aristocrats. So, why do white people of the working class claim this relic of shame as a point of pride and heritage? We know that today's racial division is being metastasized and exploited by Donald Trump. White working class Americans are turning on their black and brown working class brothers and sisters in the name of Making America Great Again. We will not accomplish this by hearkening back to an era when race based slavery was the engine of industry.
I am tired of hearing slavery apologists claim that whites and blacks were at one time slaves in America and around the world. While this is true; the enormity of the African slave trade was unparalleled in history. Over 12.5 million people of African descent were captured and shipped across the Atlantic — 2.5 million did not survive the crossing.
In Mantua, we have Revolutionary War vets buried next to Civil War vets in East Lawn Cemetery. How utterly despicable to fly a Confederate Flag, which symbolizes a rebellion predicated on the exploitation of slave labor, and the secession from the nation berthed from the ashes of the American Revolution, just down the road from buried veterans who fought in these conflicts. One that led to our nation's existence and the other to the most important Amendment to the United States Constitution, the 14th Amendment: No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
I have ancestors who fought in both wars and on the right sides at that. If the Confederate Flag is about history and heritage, it is about learning from the mistakes of the past. It is about learning that people had to die for justice to prevail. Justice is not a static thing. Justice is very much malleable and influx. Unfortunately, it can flow backwards, as it has in Trump's America. Justice is an action that is particularly powerful when practiced on the small, local level. Flying the Confederate Flag is an injustice, is a divisive gesture, and is antipodal to what America should strive for today, equality.

Alumna Kelly Jones, MBA '15, recently returned to her home in Atlanta, after getting the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience professional sport's biggest spectacle from right inside NRG Stadium at this year's Super Bowl in Houston, Texas. Thanks not only to the generosity of her employers — the NFL's Atlanta Falcons newest business partner Legends Hospitality — but also the professional guidance of Associate Professor of Management Scott Wysong. Jones credits Wysong, who also directs the Satish & Yasmin Gupta School of Business' MBA program, with helping her achieve her dreams of working in an incredibly difficult industry to enter, professional sports management.
"I am very proud of Kelly's career accomplishments. She was always an excellent student and very motivated to succeed," said Wysong.
Jones, a graduate of Vanderbilt University, is a premium sales consultant with Legends Hospitality, which manages ticket sales for the Falcons. As such she is responsible for selling personal seat licenses (PSL) inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium to those currently holding season tickets inside the Falcon's old stadium, the Georgia Dome, as well as other interested fans. PSL sales in the Falcon's new stadium have soared since the team played their way into their only second-ever Super Bowl.
"The connections I made through the MBA program at UD proved extremely valuable to my career, because, honestly, without the guidance of Scott Wysong I wouldn't be working for the Falcons today," said Jones.
While attending UD, Wysong recommended that Jones attend a career fair, which landed her at the Dallas Stars before she moved to Atlanta to work for the Falcons.
Thousands of alumni like Jones have benefitted from the wisdom and guidance of UD's engaged faculty. Learn more about the Gupta College of Business MBA program by visiting udallas.edu/mba.
