Traditionally, a wide variety of terms and definitions have been used to describe various developmental defects of enamel (DDE). However, this original index turned out to be too complicated to use in practice and a modified DDE index (mDDE) was presented by FDI (1992). The modified development dental enamel (DDE) index was considered to be too time consuming and not adequate for MIH prevalence studies because the post-eruptive breakdown is a pathognomonic feature in MIH but the mDDE index does not clearly distingue PEB from enamel hypoplasia.
According to European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry seminar (EAPD) placed in Athens in 2003. (Weerheijmet al., 2003) The diagnose of MIH must be based on scores range from 0 to 10 (Table 2). (Ghanim et al., 2011) The screening of MIH must be done in children eight years of age; examination for MIH should be performed on wet teeth after removing debris with cotton roll; first permanent molars and incisors should be examined, each tooth as seen in Table 2.
Table 2. Criteria for scoring molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) according to European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry recommendations cited by GHANIM et al., 2011 (Ghanim et al., 2011).
Clinically, the enamel defects can vary from white, cream, yellow to brownish, but they always show a sharp demarcation between the affected and sound enamel. The tooth surface enamel initially develops to a normal thickness, but can chip off under masticatory forces called post eruption breakdown (PEB) (Figure 2B) PEB is characterized by poor aesthetic appearance and sensitivity to thermal and mechanical stimuli. After such PEB, the clinical pictures can resemble enamel hypoplasia. However, the margins of the disintegrated areas are irregular, whereas those in hypoplasia are smooth and rounded. The demarcated lesions in MIH should also be distinguished from the diffuse opacities typical of fluorosis. Dentitions with generalized opacities present on all teeth such as in Amelogenesis Imperfecta, rather than limited to the first permanent molars and incisors, are not considered to have MIH. Nowadays, to simplify the use of MIH scores, the severity of MIH can be determined by dividing the affected teeth in only two groups: mild defect (demarcated opacities) (Figures 4A, B) and moderate/severe defect (enamel breakdown and atypical restorations) (Lygidakis et al., 2008) (Figures 4B, C ).
Fig. 4. A to C - Mild defect opacities in right FPM (A). Atypical restorations in upper incisors (B) and in left lower FPM (C). Note the opacities in the vestibular surface of the right lower incisor (B), left upper FPM (B). Post restoration enamel fracture in lower right FPM (C).
Dental diseases have a detrimental effect on quality of life both in childhood and older age. (Moynihan & Petersen, 2004) Several authors have discussed whether developmental defects of enamel (DDE) are a public health problem. (Mathu-Muju & Wright, 2006) For a condition to be considered of public health significance, several criteria need to be reviewed, particularly the prevalence its impact on an individual in terms of symptoms, functioning, psychological and social should be considerate. (Marshman et al., 2009) Besides its clinical implications in the field of public health, MIH have taken on importance as strong predictors of dental caries. This result highlights the importance of establishing priority programs of prevention and early treatment for these groups of children both for aesthetic and functional reasons, as well as to minimize the increased risk of dental caries.

Delfina María Teresa Gálvez Bunge de Williams, (Olivos, 7 de abril de 1913 - Buenos Aires, 17 de diciembre de 2014) fue una arquitecta argentina que fuera presidenta de las Asociación Argentina de Mujeres Hispanistas hasta que cumplió 100 años.

Primeros años
Delfina Gálvez Bunge de Williams, hija de Delfina Bunge y Manuel Gálvez, fue una mujer que perteneció a ambientes progresistas y cultos del cambio de siglo en Buenos Aires. En 1931, con 18 años, entró en la Escuela de Arquitectura de la Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires —actual Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Urbanismo— donde conoció a Amancio Williams, con quien se casó en 1941, y con quien tuvieron 8 hijos.

Trayectoria
Trabajó asociada a su marido el arquitecto Amancio Williams.
En los primeros años de casados trabajaron juntos. En 1942 ambos realizaron su primer proyecto junto a Jorge Vivanco consistente en departamentos en block para la ciudad de Buenos Aires, que se llamó Viviendas en el espacio. Según Roberto Fernández

El maestro suizo posteriormente encargará a Amancio Williams el desarrollo de la casa Curutchet en La Plata.

Gálvez Bunge negó en diferentes entrevistas la autoría compartida de diversas obras, incluida la Casa del Puente en Mar del Plata, para el compositor Alberto Williams, padre de Amancio. Sin embargo, en la publicación contemporánea de Alberto Sartoris, Encyclopédie de l'architecture nouvelle, aparecen distintos proyectos de autoría compartida: Amancio Williams et Delfina G. de Williams. En este libro además de obras compartidas aparecen obras de autoría individual de Amancio Williams y otras que comparte con César Janello, Colette Boccara de Janello y Jorge Butler. Este reconocimiento de coautorías, que seguramente fue dado por el propio Williams desaparece en la mayoría de los relatos historiográficos sobre él.

La arquitecta Graciela Di Iorio, Directora de la Casa, escribió:

Las actividades de colaboración con Amancio Williams que Gálvez Bunge reconoció como propias estuvieron más ligadas a la escritura, especialmente la redacción de las cartas con arquitectos extranjeros, especialmente, en francés. En diferentes entrevistas destaca su voluntad de no querer otorgarse méritos, sin embargo, sí reconoce haber realizado especialmente proyectos de jardines y de interiores.

Ella era quien le escribía, a Amancio, las cartas en francés que este le enviaba a Le Corbusier. Una vez le pidieron a Amancio que escribiera un capítulo en una historia de la arquitectura argentina del siglo XIX y XX y lo redactó ella.

Obras
Su actividad cultural y profesional se extendió más allá de la arquitectura y siguiendo la estela de su madre, la poetisa Delfina Bunge, escribió al menos dos libros Nosotros tres, una crónica de su infancia con sus hermanos Manuel y Gabriel y Cuentos creíbles.
Escribió algunas críticas para prensa sobre exposiciones de arte. Se destacó también por la traducción al castellano de la Carta de Atenas. Fue presidenta de la Asociación Argentina de Mujeres Hispanistas hasta 2013 y perteneció a la Comisión Directiva del Patronato de la Infancia.

While the Raptor has evolved into the single most capable air superiority fighter ever built, the YF-23 design—especially when combined with General Electric's YF-120 variable cycle engines —was arguably more advanced. Compared to the YF-22, the YF-23 was faster and stealthier, but many have argued that it was less maneuverable than the thrust vector controlled precursor to the Raptor. However, the difference in maneuverability between the two designs was far slimmer than many might have imagined.
disconnectedradical wrote: F-22 lost volume over YF-22 especially in rear fuselage and is also a bit shorter.
disconnectedradical wrote: F-23 is actually longer than YF-23 and looking at cross sections the fuselage volume increased especially at middle.
Hence will be much heavier.
disconnectedradical wrote: Why are you obsessed with making F-22 best at everything? It's a great aircraft but it's not magically unbeatable.
the YF-22 prototype beat the YF-23 and post above clearly says why. I'm not saying its undefeatable but it is better than than anything in service in A-A and better than a fictional F-23 variant.
F-22 and YF-22 material wise are similar, F-23 and YF-23 aren't. F-23 would be plastic plane (over 50% of plane weight would be composites). YF-23 was metal plane. So we can't use F-22 and YF-22 analogy.
YF-22 was more agile that is sure but YF-23 had much better supersonic range, this was confirmed by Northrop ATF folks, YF-23 could do whole sortie flying supersonic and F-23 would be even better because it would carry more fuel then YF-23.
Modeler used the F-23 diagrams to show what the production aircraft would've looked like.
Unlike F-22, F-23 tails are placed far back so are not blanked out even at high AOA, which is why it can reach 60 degrees AOA even without thrust vectoring. F-22 is a fine aircraft but F-23 would've been better in most cases. Shame that McDonnell Douglas dropped the ball with the manufacturing and management plan.
This debate will never die, and it's easy to see why - both are eye watering aircraft.
Whether you prefer one or the other, the fact is the US was flying not 1, but 2 stealth fighters more capable than anything flying today, almost 30 years ago!. We wound up with the F-22, without question the most capable air dominance fighter today, and likely for the next 20 years. The F-23 would have been equally capable, probably better suited to the SCS scenario but also might have been more expensive, resulting in even fewer than 187 airframes.
I do believe the F-23 would have been as maneuverable, even without the thrust vectoring. Look at the F-35, performing thrust vector like maneuvers without thrust vectoring. The F-23 had massive control surfaces and outrageously powerful engines. The very ingredients needed for such.
mixelflick wrote: I do believe the F-23 would have been as maneuverable, even without the thrust vectoring.
On the documentary about the YF-23 Even Northrop executives were quick to admit that Lockheed's design emphasized maneuverability much more than they did.
All aircraft experience a loss of control effectiveness at supersonic speeds. To generate the same maneuver supersonically as subsonically, the controls must be deflected further. This, in turn, results in a big increase in supersonic trim drag and a subsequent loss in acceleration and turn performance. The F-22 offsets this trim drag, not with the horizontal tails, which is the classic approach, but with the thrust vectoring. With a negligible change in forward thrust, the F-22 continues to have relatively low drag at supersonic maneuvering speed. . But drag is only part of the advantage gained from thrust vectoring. By using the thrust vector for pitch control during maneuvers the horizontal tails are free to be used to roll the airplane during the slow speed fight. This significantly increases roll performance and, in turn, point-and-shoot capability.
Saying that this fighter or that that fighter is more maneuverable is not as 1-dimensional as saying one fighter is faster than another. At what speed, and what altitude, and what loadout, and what maneuver? Loops? Barrel rolls? Instantaneous turn?
Both aircraft were designed to be better than anything else. Both were successful.
But to say one is better is glossing over a very complex subject.
I'm sure in a fantasy world where a yf-22 faced off against yf-23 it would be pilot versus pilot.

Thats true, but then again, it was the DOD setting the requirements. And I highly doubt they were as vague as "Make it more maneuverable than anything else".
My guess is that they were very specific in their maneuvering requirements. They want it pull X amount of Gs at X speed at X altitude with X ordnance and fuel loads. They want it to be capable of X AoA at X speed and altitude etc..
So both Northrop and Lockheed were gunning for just 1 set of requirements. Its unreasonable to think that the 2 planes will have vastly different maneuvering characteristics since the maneuvering requirements were the same.
The amount of how much they will exceed their requirements is up to the contractor. And according to the official statement both exceeded the requirement. But judging by Northrop executive statements that Lockheed focused far more on maneuverability. It leads me to believe that the YF-23 may have simply barely exceeded requirements while the YF-22 substantially exceeded them.

I can't remember where I heard or read it but someone involved in the ATF dem/eval phase said that Northrop Grumman gave the Air Force what they asked for but Lockheed Martin gave what they wanted.
Yep, the USAF got a stealthy more maneuverable F-15 which they could more easily relate to.
I think that was Paul Metz when he was invited as a guest speaker on a retirement home.
Guys the people who made the decision probably know more about air combat and are more qualified than anyone in the world at the time.
The only real obvious maneuvering advantage of YF-22 is low speed high alpha. Even then, YF-23 is designed to have 60 degrees trimmed AOA, but maybe it doesn't get to that state as fast without thrust vectoring. Also you can't compare trim drag of two different aircraft just because thrust vectoring. There are a lot of other factors like static margin and tail volume and how it moves with Mach number, stuff that you need to take aeronautical engineering courses to understand.
zero-one wrote: Thats true, but then again, it was the DOD setting the requirements. And I highly doubt they were as vague as "Make it more maneuverable than anything else".
No, if you follow the program the only maneuvering KPP is a g requirement at 30,000 ft at Mach 0.8. There may be more requirements flowed down from the TRD but that is the one measurable parameter.
zero-one wrote: I think that was Paul Metz when he was invited as a guest speaker on a retirement home.
The decision isn't entirely on technical side. When announcing the decision SecAF Donald Rice said "On balance, across the whole range of factors, we believe that this team ... offers the best value to the government". There's also the political and industrial part. At that time Northrop already had the B-2, and the Air Force can think that giving them ATF is too many eggs in one basket.
Don't get me wrong F-22 is still a great aircraft and at the time it may seem like the right decision. But now looking back seems like F-23 is more suited for how the ATF is really used.
Also, YF-23 just looks much better than YF-22.
disconnectedradical wrote: The only real obvious maneuvering advantage of YF-22 is low speed high alpha.
Paul Metz said that the F-22's TVC was essential in supersonic maneuverability because using moving control surfaces generated supersonic trim drag. I don't think the YF-23 is immune to that. Coming from the test pilot of the YF-23, I think that speaks volumes on the superiority of the F-22 over the YF-23.
disconnectedradical wrote: No, if you follow the program the only maneuvering KPP is a g requirement at 30,000 ft at Mach 0.8. There may be more requirements flowed down from the TRD but that is the one measurable parameter.
We will need declassified information to prove or disprove this.
disconnectedradical wrote: Don't get me wrong F-22 is still a great aircraft and at the time it may seem like the right decision. But now looking back seems like F-23 is more suited for how the ATF is really used.
On the flip side I think the YF-23 was a great design, but hands down the USAF made the right choice in making the F-22.
You're right that the YF-23 is more suited to what the USAF is using right now, which is just interceptions and long duration no fly zone patrols, plus the occasional bombing.
But my opinion is, once missiles start flying and you really need air dominance, the F-22 is what you'll want to fly more than the theoretical F-23. Albeit the F-23 can do the job superbly as well.
The Raptor has More missiles and better supersonic maneuverability which is essential in BVR. If you ever need to merge or if somehow someone makes it there for some reason, the F-22 will have the edge in WVR performance across the envelope.
disconnectedradical wrote: Also, YF-23 just looks much better than YF-22.
Agree, but the production F-22 looks better than the YF-23 IMO.
But hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

You're really reaching here to try to paint that quote as Metz saying that F-22 is superior to the YF-23. All aircraft experience trim drag, including YF-23, F-22, etc but trim drag is one component. Also because YF-23 is unstable it is less affected by the increasing static margin when you go supersonic, same applies to F-16 which is why it is less affected by trim drag when supersonic. There is also lift induced drag, parasitic drag, wave drag. You can't just use one part of drag and say it's superior. Especially in supersonic, the most important part of drag is wave drag.
Also, if you really want to hear Metz talking about the YF-23 and F-22 here is what he has to say.
You take Metz's words seriously, so why start to doubt him when he clearly say what F-23 should do?
zero-one wrote: On the flip side I think the YF-23 was a great design, but hands down the USAF made the right choice in making the F-22.
There's nothing saying F-22 has better supersonic maneuverability. Only that with TVC it can have lower trim drag, but that is only one part of drag so how can you say that it just means better supersonic maneuverability? I don't know why you're so obsessed about saying F-22 will have advantage in WVR or maneuvering. It probably does have advantage in some parts but you're pulling things out of your a$$ if you're claiming somehow it got the edge across the envelope without any documentation.
Also you're going to judge one better than the other based just on WVR?
Also, with depth of the F-23 bay, it's much more adapted to vertical stacking of missiles with a pallet system. Even without that it's a difference of one missile and the bigger volume of F-23 bays let it carries stuff that F-22 can't.
I get you like F-22 but you keep trying to say how it's technically superior to F-23 with really shoddy "analysis". No offense but you lack understanding of aircraft design and engineering (i.e. only using trim drag to declare maneuvering superiority of an aircraft).
If you will continue to attack me personally then lets stop this.
You're really reaching here to try to paint that quote as Metz saying that F-22 is superior to the YF-23.
Its not just that, Northrop also said that Lockheed's design focused more on maneuverability than they did.
Watch the documentary, Blackwidow declassified.
Since we are only working with bits and pieces of information which can be interpreted in a number of ways, everything should be taken with grains of salt. To me it is Northrop saying, the YF-22 is more maneuverable Which is already common belief anyway. But thats just my opinion.
disconnectedradical wrote: There is also lift induced drag, parasitic drag, wave drag.
But I think they both have 0 parasitic drag due to internal bays.
I don't know why you're so obsessed about saying F-22 will have advantage in WVR or maneuvering. It probably does have advantage in some parts but you're pulling things out of your a$$ if you're claiming somehow it got the edge across the envelope without any documentation.
Northrop executive statements about the YF-22's focus on maneuverability carries a lot of weight for me. Again thats just me.

No, Better supsersonic maneuverability (if true) and more missiles (which is what the YF-22 could carry without modifications) are both BVR attributes.
And both are already unbeatable BVR. Its in WVR where they are vulnerable so yes if your weakness is stronger than the other guys weakness, then isn't that worth considering.
You ALWAYS have parasitic drag, that's basic fluid dynamics. Stealth fighters has 0 ADDITIONAL parasitic drag from weapons because they carry them inside.
Since both aircraft have complex fuselage shapes and very low AR (less than 3) it's hard to eyeball parasitic drag. Induced drag is also hard to compare because of low AR and we don't know their airfoils. On the other hand wave drag is easier to compare because YF-23 is longer while fuselage waists near the wingtips which reduces max cross section area, both means greater fineness ratio than YF-22. There's also area ruling but that's harder to compare without cross section diagrams. Either way wave drag is the most important when supersonic and YF-23's better wave drag is shown since the supercruise speed is higher.

Why assume they're equal in everything except for WVR? F-23 proposal has better RCS, so good that Air Force at first didn't believe it and thought Northrop didn't model control surface gaps in their testing until an engineer drove the Air Force to the test range so they can see for themselves.
What makes you think YF-22 has better maneuverability across the board? Better in what aspect? Energy? Angles? Everything?
AGAIN, if you look at F-23 diagrams and the model you'll see it's different from YF-23. The AIM-9 bay is in front of the main bay.


After impressive double debut on Sähkö's sublabel Keys Of Life, Finnish producer Niko Pettersen aka Teersom quickly set up his own label Basement Grey Records, which has now brought out a new solo release from the Turku native.
By the sound palette, three tracks conceived during hardware trials in the studio are closer to the 2013 debut than to Basement Grey's first release and simultaneously "Forms: Groove EP" proves the ongoing emergence of the original Sound of Teersom, because it's not easy to identify sources of inspiration feeding the artist's mind. Teersom's personal way is to put out a compound of stone-cold, mechanical tracks that in this occasion cherish, as the title suggests, the groovy side of electronic music.
Filling about eight minutes of the A-side, "Block6" indicates Teersom's floor ambitions in a complex track built on metallic, refracted sequences where we can intercept broken Morse codes. The B1 track "Pitch Blackness" goes over 130 BPM and is a maze of abstract signals, hi-hats and random horn stabs, everything tending at deliberate cacophony. Teersom's captivating techno journey concludes with "Where's The Sun Pt. 2", which is exposed to the particle shower with acidic pings and weighty bass support.


Openings, closings, and changes are all part of the Bloomington Normal Restaurant Scene and are what Larry Carius writes about on Facebook. In this conversation with Charlie Schlenker, Carius starts by marking a couple anniversaries, the first one, on the west side of Bloomington.
Bloomington-Normal is ranked 80th in the U.S. by Nielsen as one of the best places in the country to open a restaurant, in part because of disposable income and our proclivity to dine out. According to Nielsen, Bloomington is also ranked 9th in sales per restaurant, with establishments raking in nearly 1.2 million dollars on average. The nearly 400 restaurants in Bloomington-Normal, in addition to those in other McLean County communities are inspected twice or more per year by the McLean County Health Department and now those inspections are online.
The local foods movement has come a long way in a short time with a bigger network of suppliers, making it easier for restaurants to source food within a 100-mile radius. Now in its ninth year, a local flavors farm-to-fork series kicks off this month at The Garlic Press, an Uptown Normal restaurant that was on the forefront of keeping it local.
Portillo's hot dogs will open a restaurant in Normal in 2017. The Oak Brook based restaurant chain is not yet announcing a location or opening date.


This is an area where anyone having done a project after our courses, should send me photos. Now that I can update the site myself they WILL get on there. Apologies for any misplaced , I could not load on the old site!

The Bench Factory
One in four kids say they've experienced bullying at school, and more than 3.2 million kids are victimized by bullies each year.
But, here is some good news: There are many kind kids out there who are looking for proactive and inclusive ways to make schools safer and happier for everyone. One way they are doing this through "buddy benches," a simple but incredibly meaningful way for kids to make friends.
What is a buddy bench? It's much more than just a place to sit.
A message on the Girl Scouts Instagram page reads: "Ariana used the money she raised selling cookies to buy a buddy bench and donate it to her school. What is a Buddy Bench, you ask? Children can decide to sit on a Buddy Bench during playtime, which signals to other children that they would like someone to talk to or play with. It's a piece of playground furniture that has the power to promote inclusion and empathy.
Ariana, we💚you!"

What a sweet idea! This bench is a way for even shy students to announce that they are feeling lonely and want to play with a friend. Even as adults, it can be easy to just stick in your headphones and not talk to anyone on your way to work or at the gym. But kids are clearly leading the charge on making the world a friendlier place, one bench at a time.
Buddy benches are becoming popular across the country, and companies such as The Bench Factory make versions that are moveable or permanent for around $500. Although relatively new to America, the idea has been used in schools in other countries, including Germany. In fact, it was while looking at schools in Germany that an American first-grader first got the idea to bring a buddy bench to his school.
When his family was planning for a possible move to Germany, Christian Bucks was looking at German schools online when he came across a buddy bench for the first time.
"I didn't like to see kids lonely at recess when everyone is just playing with their friends," Christian told the Washington Post. His family did not end up moving to Germany but instead brought the idea of a buddy bench to his own hometown in Pennsylvania.
In the years since, many schools across the country have embraced the idea of buddy benches. Recently, students in District 58 of Downers Grove, Illinois, received 11 new buddy benches courtesy of the Downers Grove Junior Woman's Club. And Girl Scout Troop 850 in Bangor, Maine, donated two buddy benches to their playground at Fruit Street School in May.
Meanwhile, Walgreens is recycling red noses from their annual Red Nose Day, an initiative that fights child poverty, to turn them into buddy benches. The noses are purchased to support kids in need, but now these noses can be returned and recycled for buddy benches.
"We're saving the noses from being in the landfill, because they're not biodegradable so we're kind of helping in multiple facets with that," Walgreens Store Manager Brandi Dux told KDLT in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Talk about a win-win!

While Primark does not offer an official 2018 clothing catalogue either in print or online, this page features great pictures and links for clothing and accessories that are currently on sale, or just past season. While you cannot buy any of these items from the company's official site (there's no way to officially shop Primark online) many of the items you see below can be found on various resale websites and auction listings.
The store is really missing an to provide customers with an easy way to browse and buy online, but it does not seem that the company is hurting for sales or customers, either. In the meantime, below are curated links to Primark products you can purchase from unofficial online vendors.
Ready to make do with old and new photos from various sites? Even if you can't buy a particular item depicted here, these photos will give you some idea of what the store has to offer men, women, and children.
Make a list of the items you most desire, then pop into a store near you and let the hunt begin. Fans of the brand are often able to pick up similar pieces through auction sites and other non-official vendors.
Take a walk on the wild side with this snakeskin print pump. The two-inch heel will provide a boost in height but not kill your poor feet. The closed toe makes it a good choice for an upscale office, but the cheeky material will take you into evening festivities. If you take care of this shoe, it will last for years. Not too trendy to be seen again and again, and if animal prints have proven anything over the past twenty plus years, it's that they are extremely resilient when it comes to holding up with the times and trends.
Next, we have a statement shoe that will be the attention grabber of your outfit. This neon-yellow coloured wedge sandal has a platform base and ankle straps in the same colour as the main shoe. This pop of colour will get noticed. Don't sweat what to pair it with, you'll surprise yourself with this shoe's versatility. Watch where you walk, though; such a light and bright fabric will easily pick up grass stains and city dirt. A little bit of fabric protector spray would go a long way in keeping these looking cheeky all summer long.
How's this for attractive? This peep-toe pump brings the va-va-voom with its leopard print toe and sleek coral racing stripe sides. The criss-cross straps in skin-tone colors will have a slimming and lengthening effect on ankles, and the three inch heel is sure to catch the male glance. It blends in a touch of the print that can be seen so readily on the shelves of boutiques and big box stores alike.
Need to maximize your shoe-purchasing budget but balk at neutrals? The next Primark shoe to the right is a wear with anything that is anything but boring. A black and cream geometric pattern is woven onto the wedge base and foot strap, while all other straps remain black. This shoe will be more comfortable than a pump, while still offering the benefit to the appearance of your legs. Petite women and those with large ankles should opt for a different style,however. A black ankle strap blocks the sweep of the eye, truncating and widening the lower legs and ankles.
This blue slip-on flat has a nautical flair. Part boat-shoe and part loafer, it is easy to imagine keeping these nearby as a go-to cute and comfortable shoes. The white trim really contrasts with the blue patent. These are likely light and skinny enough to be slipped into your bag to serve as a back-up shoe when you start getting blisters.
These red, white, and black wedges have quite a bit going on. First there is the black and white woven pattern at the base. This is topped by a red patent material covering the wedge. Hemp rope detailing speaks of summer. The toe strap and ankle strap are both black but seem to be made of different materials. The toe portion is a clear black plastic. I'm thinking this is a recipe for sweaty slipping and fogging. Eeewww. This is one of my less favorite pairs of Primark shoes, but I know there are women out there who will love them and make them look great.
What's not to love about this outfit? The accordion pleating and the longer length of the skirt offer an early 1920's vibe, but in that tangerine colour, the skirt is very "now." The high-necked, cream blouse is sheer with a flounced hem. A perfect flowy top to be paired with the lady-like romance of the skirt. This outfit does not show much skin, but there is no denying that it is all female. The neutral wedges add to the femininity without trying to fight the bright skirt for attention. Beautiful!
Moving from the 20s to the 60s, Primark offers a sunny yellow eyelet blouse and skirt combination. The blouse has a retro Peter Pan collar and A-line construction. The skirt is also A-line and hits at the knee. I like both these pieces, but I would be more likely to buy one or the other and pair with a solid color. I really like the blouse and can see it with white capri pants and white wedges. Ready for a day at the shore with bottles of Coca-Cola and a red-checked picnic blanket. Such a throwback!
A bright pink, flowing skirt and a crisp white blouse make this outfit a great pick for summer. The white top has a contrasting neckline in tan and cap sleeves. The pink skirt is made from a sheer material but offers a built-in lining to the knee. This means your underthings stay private, while your legs stay cool. This combination is one of my favourites from from the Primark Spring collection.
The zig-zag patterns on this dress make it perfectly suited for a fun day shopping on the square with friends. It features a shoulder-less design that makes moving around as easy and breezy as the fabric itself. Hugging the waist closely, this outfit is a quick and cute ensemble for any girl looking to add a touch of color to their look. This is one of the items debuted on the store's official website.
I would like to see more variety of the things that they sell in stores online. Also I would like a larger variety of backpacks.
Thank you for reading and I hope you take my comment in.
I know it's asking for a lot, but I would love it if there as actually a way to find online shopping capabilities here. Any luck for anyone else?
I am curious as to whether this store sells undergarments for men. Do they have a wide selection in this area?
What's the best page on this site to see pictures of what's for sale in 2012? Is there a consolidated catalogue?
Crazily good stuff! Love the fake nails! Wearing them right now!!!


by contracts with the Skagit Climate Consortium (SC2) and between SC2 and the University of Washington (UW). This project utilized data products from the Integrated Scenarios of the Future Northwest Environment project, which identified a core set of 10 global climate models (GCMs) of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5; Mote et al., 2015) as the best performing models based on comparisons of observed 20th century climate of the Pacific Northwest. To simulate streamflow, we used the Distributed Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model (DHSVM) – a coupled glacio-hydrology model. The model domain included the entire Skagit River basin at 150m digital elevation model (DEM) resolution, with nested models of 50m resolution of selected subbasins (Thunder Creek and Cascade Creek) that have the major glacier ice cover at their high elevations. The modeling steps included: (a) spin up of the glacier model to develop realistic glacier cover in the glaciated uplands prior to watershed hydrology and streamflow predictions; (b) calibration of DHSVM using select model parameters and climate forcing bias correction in select subbasins; (c) model validation using historical streamflow observations; (d) projections of streamflow into the future using CMIP5 models; (e) bias-corrections of modeled streamflow to match observations based on monthly mean and (f) low-flow corrections of modeled streamflow to match 90% exceedance probability flows in summer months. The glacio-hydrology model was calibrated using historical meteorological data and observed ice extent using the time frame of 1960-2010.Validation and corrections to the glacio-hydrology model were conducted using empirical data (collected by North Cascades National Park), naturalized flows at reservoir locations (three reservoirs), and observed stream gauges (where and when available at 16 Skagit River tributaries).Future projections were calculated using GCMs for multiple thirty year periods starting from 2010 to 2099.


I saw a link to this german election blog a couple of months ago, but forgot to bookmark it, and have been trying to find it since then.
Almost the most interesting thing about it is how shockingly bad the interface is. Apparently someone at this institute built a primitive blog of his own rather tahn using blogger or typepad. What were they thinking?

THE OPENING SCENE
A good screenwriter knows that the opening five minutes of a movie are the most important. This is where you have to sell the idea of your story to the audience; to tease them with questions and intrigue them with narrative puzzles that they'll want to solve.
BTTF's opening scene is a miniature story in itself, and every detail is important. It honestly amazes me that it manages to do so much hard work with mostly visuals alone. It's so packed with characterisation and foreshadowing that you might not even notice it at first, so allow me to take you through it.
(Remember: you know nothing about this film franchise. You don't know what to expect. You are discovering each character and situation for the first time.)
The first thing we get is the title. Straight away, no fanfare or theme song. Just a seemingly oxymoronic phrase: Back to the Future? What the hell does that even mean? That alone should make you go: 'Eh?'
We open with the sound of ticking, and a shot of an ordinary clock. 'Okay', you'll be thinking, This movie has something to do with time. Well done for getting this far. But then we pan back and see more clocks. Loads more. Dozens and dozens of them. The screenplay describes: "cuckoo clocks, digital clocks, grandfather clocks, and Felix the Cat with moving eyes."
So immediately we're intrigued by an incongruous image: what a fuckload of clocks! Where the hell are we? A horologists? Perhaps. But all the clocks are working properly and are set to 7.53am. If this was a clockmaker's shop, or a place of repair, surely some would be stopped, or slow, or in pieces? Why on earth would someone need so many clocks to tell the same time?
Okay, it's not exactly subtle; but admit it: you'd ask yourself those questions, second by second, if you were watching for the first time.
At the one-minute mark, the first and most sneaky instance of foreshadowing has occurred. You can see a small man hanging off the hands of one of the clocks: a reference to the same predicament that Doc will find himself in at the climax of the movie at the clocktower. Clever and nested foreshadowing is absolutely vital to what makes BTTF work, and so we're going to note every instance of it from here on out.
By 1.15 we've panned over to two newspaper clippings: one that says that a 'Brown Estate' has been sold to real estate developers, and another saying that the house has burned down. This is a reference to a line of Doc's at the Mall ("It's taken 30 years and my entire family fortune to fulfil the vision of that day") but it also gives us a setting with the 'Hill Valley Telegraph' newspapers.
We pan down from the clippings to a series of portraits of famous scientists – Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Edison – and a dank and squalid mattress, with a lot of junk food and trash strewn around it.
This is a clever bit of characterisation, and also gives us another puzzle piece. A mattress means that we're definitely not in a shop or workshop. This is someone's home. They're obviously quite untidy, and yet the arrangement of the clocks shows that this person is capable of being organised and precise. Add to that the portraits of great thinkers from history, and there's only one conclusion: whoever lives here (or at any rate sleeps here) is some kind of mad boffin.
We pan left to an alarm radio, which plays a Toyota commercial which provides more scene setting: "October is inventory time, so right now Toyota is making the best deals of the year on all 1985 model Toyotas."
We're 1.39 minutes in and we have a time, date, and place: 7.53am, Hill Valley, October 1985. The way that these things are emphasised gives us a new clue: dates are just as important as the time of day in this movie. Otherwise, the film wouldn't have gone out of its way this early on to tell us when we are. The audience's sense of space and orientation is very important to the rest of the narrative, and it needs to be established as early as possible.
Next we have a proper visual joke: a coffee machine that's spraying boiled water, since its owner has neglected to leave the pot in the right position. It's spilled quite a lot of water onto a hot pad and left a puddle, so it seems as though the person who lives here, the scruffy clock-obsessed dude who loves famous scientists, isn't around. 'Where are they and are we going to meet them?' we ask.
We pan further left: the hand of one clock turns a TV on automatically, and the news anchor mentions three things: plutonium has gone missing from a local nuclear plant, officials are denying that it's been stolen, and Libyan terrorists are involved somehow.
This is a bit of a jump: one minute we were just wondering all about whose domicile this was, and now we're being told about missing plutonium. We later learn that the plutonium powers the Delorean, and that Doc is embroiled with the terrorists … but we don't know that yet. For now, it's an incongruous detail.
Next we pan left to a shot of a complex-looking Rube-Goldberg-like device, which opens a can and then slops a dollop of dog food into a dog's bowl. We see the dog's name is 'Einstein' (more foreshadowing, as we meet him later and Einstein is vitally important for explaining to the audience how the Delorean works and why Marty shows up in this scene at all) which suggests that whoever lives here is nice enough to own a pet, and clearly has a sense of humour. The inhabitant of this house is eccentric: not insane.
Not only that, but the fact that the can-opening machine is malfunctioning (or rather, doing its job too well) tells us something important. Not only is the person who lives in this house of clocks an inventor, but their inventions don't seem to ever work as planned. This is a big (and often overlooked) part of Doc's character which will be developed later.
The door opens. We see a pair of white Nike trainer, blue jeans, and a skateboard: so obviously a teenager or young person. Is this the owner of this strange house? No, because we see him put the key to the door under the doormat, before stepping in. This is interesting: this boy doesn't live here, but he has an intimate enough relationship with the owner to know how to let himself in.
The boy calls out for 'Doc.' Okay, now we know the name of the person who lives here, even if we're still only playing detective to work out who they are. The boy whistles for Einstein, who we know is the dog who eats out of the aforementioned bowl, and so now we know why this boy is here: to check up on the owner's dog.
We have a big pay off now: the skateboard rolls forward and slides under a table, to rest against a yellow case with warning signs for radioactive material. We've just added two guns to Chekov's arsenal: the skateboard (Marty will use an improvised one to escape Biff's car) and the plutonium, (which will be used to send Marty back to 1955). But more important than that, the audience has been given its first reveal: Doc Brown, the owner of this house, who is obsessed with clocks, makes bad inventions, loves his dog, and is friends with a teenager, was the one who stole the plutonium.
Already, there's some tension. Doc Brown, who doesn't seem like the most stable of people, has got plutonium at home. That sounds dangerous. Are the clocks rigged to a bomb? It going to explode? Is this movie actually a tense thriller?
No. It's definitely a comedy, because the boy who has come to feed the dog then hooks his guitar up to a gigantic speaker, gleefully turns all the dials and knobs up to eleven, plays a single note, and then blasts himself into the wall through sheer force of sound.
Okay, so this kid seems to be even less responsible than Doc. Great.
The phone rings and the kid answers it. We hear a voice, an older man's, and the kid confirms that this is Doc Brown – the man whose identity and lifestyle we have slowly been piecing together for the last minute and a half. Doc gives our teenage protagonist a name: Marty.
That's two characters now (three if you count the absent dog) and as I will show in just a moment, we already know so much about them both. We know everything we need to know about Doc Brown already, and we haven't even seen him in person!
Marty asks Doc where he's been all week, but Doc is deliberately mysterious: to entice Marty (and us) to come meet him and find out what's going on. He tells Marty to meet him at the Twin Pines Mall at exactly 1.15am.
These are also two incredibly important details: The Twin Pines Mall later becomes the Lone Pine Mall when Marty changes the future, so establishing its name is a big deal when it comes to later showing that we're dealing with the Ray Bradbury, Sound-of-Thunder model of time travel. The time 1.15am is important because, later, Marty has to rush back to save Doc from the Libyans. Too early, and he'll disrupt his own timeline, too late and Doc will be killed.
Then there's a joke from Doc about the amp ("There's a slight possibility of overload") and all the clocks' alarms go off at once. Doc cheers because his 'experiment' apparently worked, and all the clocks are 25 minutes slow. Marty panics, realises he's late for school. Huey Lewis plays: the movie has begun.
Okay, so that was only four and a half pages of script, and only five and a half minutes of movie. But we already have so many questions, and have been given so much information. Let's break down what we know, and what we want to find out:
The movie is about time.
Doc Brown and Marty Mcfly are from Hill Valley.
It's October, 1985.
Plutonium has been stolen by Doc Brown from a nuclear power plant.
Terrorists are involved in the stolen plutonium.
Doc Brown and his dog have been missing for a week, and Marty doesn't know why.
Doc Brown is performing experiments with time.
Doc Brown needs Marty to meet him late at night for a tantalisingly-vague experiment.
Doc Brown:
He's obsessed with time (He has many clocks in his house).
He's a mad scientist (See the pictures, and the inventions).
His inventions either don't work or don't operate according to plan (See the can-opener, the toaster, and the coffee-machine)
He's nice (he owns a dog) and eccentric (who he named Einstein).
He is mysterious (Marty doesn't know where he's been or what he's been doing for a week).
He does dangerous, risky things (like stealing plutonium).
He's close to Marty (Either a friend or relative.)
Marty:
He's a cool teenager (fashionable clothes, skateboard).
He loves rock music (His guitar stunt speaks for itself).
He's kind (Taking time out of his day to feed Doc's dog).
He helps Doc out but doesn't always know the full picture. (See their phone conversation).
He uses technology or science in immature, compulsive, or irresponsible ways. (Again, the guitar stunt).
He has a real problem with punctuality (He's late for school).
He's close to Doc (Either a friend or relative.)
Why did Doc Brown steal the plutonium?
Is Marty going to find out about it?
Why does Doc own so many clocks?
Why does he have to meet Marty at exactly 1.15am?
What is the experiment he wants Marty to help him with?

Scoop's Animation Corner says:
This is really in-depth. I agree the Back to the Future movies are really good popcorn flicks. They're entertaining, but there's a lot of thought put into them
PatrickWhy says:
Agree that BTTF is a perfect movie. It's also a masterclass in story. If you take away all the science fiction elements, the heart of the story is something universal, relatable and even touching. It's about understanding who your parents are, which on some deep psychological level is probably the defining question of many people's childhoods and even lives. Then, the story asks, given the chance, could you make your parents (and by extension, yourself) happier, healthier, more well-adjusted? It's some pretty deep Freudian %^&*, really.

The Beirut Blast Recovery and Reconstruction Monitor
The catastrophic Beirut Port Blast of 4 August 2020 caused a massive loss of human life and immense destruction. It has prompted the international community to pledge significant emergency assistance to alleviate the damage and help Lebanon recover from this disaster.
In response to the significant threat of corruption and misuse of funds undermining this response, the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs (IFI) at the American University of Beirut (AUB), in collaboration with the Lebanese Transparency Association (LTA) and Transparency International (TI), are launching "The Beirut Blast Recovery and Reconstruction Monitor".
According to IFI's Director of Research and Interim Director Dr. Nasser Yassin "The Beirut Blast Recovery and Reconstruction Monitor will conduct research and collect data while focusing on transparency and accountability aspects of international aid, recovery, and reconstruction. It will have a particular focus on how assistance will be handled in the absence of a unified governmental agency or program tasked with coordinating aid efforts."
Daniel Eriksson, Managing Director of Transparency International, stressed that, "reconstruction following the devastating explosion in Beirut will involve huge sums of money. The people of Lebanon have a right to know it is being used where it is most needed and is not being misused or stolen. The Beirut Blast Reconstruction and Recovery Monitor will help ensure accountable, transparent, and independent oversight of the process".
The Monitor aims to track, monitor, and assess the transparency and effectiveness of the emergency assistance that will be received. "The Lebanese Transparency Association and Transparency International will provide guidance, expertise, and global support for transparency and accountability in the use of emergency assistance" according to Julien Courson LTA Executive Director.
This joint project is part of IFI's Lebanon Crisis Observatory that was created at the beginning of 2020 to collect data on Lebanon's multiple crises. Through the creation of an evidence database to illustrate how Lebanon's economic crisis is unfolding, the Observatory seeks to identify potential social implications of the economic crisis on Lebanon's most vulnerable populations, including vulnerable host communities and refugees, so as to inform and catalyze policy and community dialogues, as well as responses to the crisis.

A.	At the earliest stage of the Article 10 process, applicants are required to prepare and begin implementing a Public Involvement Program. In addition, to ensure that the public and interested parties are fully assisted and advised in participating in the Article 10 process, an Office of Public Information Coordinator has been created within the New York State Department of Public Service.
A.	The preliminary scoping statement must be filed no less than 90 days before the date on which the applicant files its application for an Article 10 certificate. In addition, at least three days before the preliminary scoping statement is filed, the applicant must publish a public notice and summary of the preliminary scoping statement in local newspapers in the affected area and serve a copy of the notice and summary upon public officials and all persons who requested to receive such notices.
A.	The presiding examiner will award funds on an equitable basis to participants during the pre-application phase to be used to make an effective contribution to review of the preliminary scoping statement, and thereby provide early and effective public involvement.
A.	Provided they file with the Siting Board a notice of intent to be a party, within 45 days after the date given in the published notice as the date for the filing of the application, the following parties have a right to be a party to an Article 10 proceeding merely by giving the required notice: (a) the affected municipality; (b) any individual resident of an affected municipality; (c) any non-profit corporation or association, formed in whole or in part to promote conservation or natural beauty, to protect the environment, personal health or other biological values, to preserve historical sites, to promote consumer interests, to represent commercial and industrial groups or to promote the orderly development of any area in which the facility is to be located; and (d) any other municipality or resident of such municipality located within a five mile radius of such proposed facility (their notice of intent must include an explanation of the potential environmental effects on such municipality or person). In addition, the presiding officer may for good cause shown permit a municipality or other person to become a party and to participate in all subsequent stages of the proceeding.
A.	A written transcript record is made of the hearings and of all testimony taken and the cross-examinations thereon.

The parties will also present legal briefs to the Siting Board with citations to the portions of the record they deem relevant to their positions.


My name is Elyse Banak and I am one of the Dalet Teachers. I have been teaching at TBT for 17 years. Through my years at TBT, I have taught Bet, Dalet, Hay, Vov and Zayin! I also tutor for B'nai Mitzvah and I play flute at Shir Shabbat.
In my other life, I have a degree in Electrical Engineering, and worked as an engineer for 15 years in CT. When we moved to Massachusetts, I started teaching and tutoring math and science. I now teach math and science at a private boarding high school in Natick. I enjoy tutoring all math and science high school classes privately.
I have three children who attended Temple Beth Torah's Religious School and they each had their Bat Mitzvah at TBT. My oldest daughter is now working in retail, my middle daughter is a chemical engineer and my youngest daughter is working at a tutoring center and records music (ask me about her stage name and you could listen to her music!).
I have enjoyed teaching at TBT and like the warm community that it offers!
My name is Charli Bernstein and I have been a member of Temple Beth Torah for over 27 years. In 2005, I began tutoring B'nai Mitzvah students. Starting in 2009, I began teaching the 6th grade students and for several years, also taught the 2nd grade. I am currently serving as co-chair of the Ritual Committee.
My education philosophy is to provide students with a solid foundation in Judaism; to teach our history, traditions and prayer texts and to understand the meaning of Jewish identity while helping them determine what being Jewish means to them.
Watching the students grow, develop relationships and share their thoughts and opinions brings me great pride. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing our students be called to the Torah and become a Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
My name is Laurie Canning and I am the Gimel Teacher. I have been teaching at TBT for 20 years and have loved every minute of it! I teach using discussion, games, fun, as well as hands on activities to try to appeal to all students' learning styles and strengths. I have also taught Bet, Dalet, Hay and Zayin, and was the Youth Director for many years as well.
I have a BA from Tufts University in Child Psychology and French, and a Master's in Elementary Education from Lesley University. I also enjoy teaching French at the Ben Franklin Classical Charter School in Franklin and have been working there for 23 years.
I have three children who attended Temple Beth Torah's Religious School and recently my two youngest had their B'nai Mitzvah together which was amazing. My eldest Connor is currently serving in the U.S. Air Force, my son Joshua is in 9th grade at King Philip High School and my youngest Missy is in 8th grade at King Philip Middle School.
Interestingly, I also had my Bat Mitzvah at Temple Beth Torah and grew up in Holliston. I have always been a member of the temple and I wanted my children to have the same wonderful experience I did. It is a close knit group of people with a warm, welcoming community and I have greatly enjoyed my long history being a part of this temple!
My name is Beth Ecker. My husband Dan and I have been members of Temple Beth Torah for 28 years. I have been teaching at TBT for 13 years. I taught in the nursery school a few years, then when Torah Tots began, I taught that class, then the Aleph class and now I teach the Bet class.
When I am not at TBT, I teach pre-school in Sherborn and I have been there for 13 years. I have 3 children, who all attended the religious school and were Bar and Bat Mitzvah here at TBT. My son, Max was in the first preschool class at Temple Beth Torah.
I believe every child should have a basic foundation to Judaism. I bring my sister and brother who live in Israel into my lessons and try to provide a personal experience of Israel for my students. I think children should learn about our traditions. I help children to see how their family celebrates and honors the traditions and values, and that each family may do this in a different way, but we all are part of the Jewish people. I like my students to know how special it is to be Jewish. My father was a holocaust survivor and Judaism has always been a big part of my life and I get joy from sharing stories with my students.
My name is Jane Kohuth and I teach the Hey class. My family joined Temple Beth Torah in 2017, and my son Kameron Stepansky is in the Gan/Aleph class. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY, where I graduated from the same Hebrew School as Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg! I am a graduate of Brandeis University, where I studied English and Creative Writing, Jewish Studies, and Women's Studies. I have a master's degree in Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School, where I focused on women in religion and Jewish history. I've taught various Hebrew School grades in a number of synagogues over the years, and spent two years as the Assistant Director of Education at a congregation in Northern Virginia. I've loved coming back to teaching Jewish subjects again, and am very much enjoying creating a Jewish history focused curriculum for the fifth grade.
I am also a children's book author. I've published five books for young children, including three books with Jewish themes. My picture books Estie the Mensch and Who's Got the Etrog? are both PJ Library books, so you may have received them in the mail at some point! My early reader Anne Frank's Chestnut Tree was a National Council of Social Studies Notable Trade Book for Young People. I visit classrooms in person and via video chat to teach writing workshops and have also taught creative writing classes for children and adults.
My family has found Temple Beth Torah to be warm and welcoming, and I am enjoying getting to know the community — in particular the kids, who are bright and curious and up for an intellectual challenge!
My name is Rachel Morgenstern and I teach the Torah Tots class at TBT. I love working with young kids and their families, exploring the Jewish culture and holidays, and helping them to start their own family traditions.
My family and I have been members of TBT for about 10 years. I have been married to my husband Joel for 16 years. We have two daughters, Lila, age 13, and Zoe, age 11. Lila began attending TBT when she was 3 in the Torah Tots program. She had her Bat Mitzvah in October 2018 and is currently attending the 7th grade class with Rabbi Steve. Zoe is in 5th grade and is looking forward to her Bat Mitzvah in a few years.
I have a Master's degree in Intercultural Relations from Lesley University and a Master's degree in Speech and Language Pathology from Emerson College. I have worked as an SLP with all ages ranging from Early Intervention (children birth through 3 years old), to Nursing homes to schools, specializing in the areas of feeding therapy, Augmentative and Alternative Communication, as well as general language acquisition.
I love connecting with children at this young age and getting them excited about Jewish culture and the Hebrew language, all while having fun!
My name is Karen Swartz and I teach Gan/Aleph and Dalet at Temple Beth Torah. I have been a teacher here for 19 years. My parents were founders of Temple Beth Torah and I grew up here with my family. In fact I was in the very first Gan class, then called Torah Tots! I am passionate about teaching and love seeing my students thrive and enjoy our study of Hebrew, holidays and traditions.
I work at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island as a Certified Child Life Specialist. At Hasbro, I cover Pediatric Gastroenterology, Cystic Fibrosis, Asthma/Allergy Clinics and Pediatric Sedation. I am the co-coordinator of IBD patient education group and volunteer as part of the medical team at CCF Camp Oasis. In addition, I am a member of the Medical Board of Advisors for Team IMPACT, and a Certified Educator of Infant Massage. I received both my Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from Wheelock College: a BS in Human Development with a concentration in Child Life and a MS in Child Life and Family-Centered Care.


1/ Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil. This will make for easy cleanup!
2/ Place the vegetables on the cookie sheet. In a small bowl, whisk the maple syrup, mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper together.
3/ Pour the mixture over the vegetables and toss well. Make sure each veggie is coated with the mixture.
4/ Roast the vegetables for about 30 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Stir them occasionally to ensure even roasting.
Yum. And girlfriend, your photography skills are quite impressive!!
I love roasting vegetables in the winter. These look yummy!
This looks sooooo good! Now I'm craving this for lunch!!
You can never have too many vegetables on the Thanksgiving table and this would be a nice addition. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
looks fantastic! I love parsnips.
This is a great recipe, have made it several times. Great for a Mabon dinner. The Parsnips are like lemon-y with the sweet potatoes and carrots and the Maple Dijon Mustard sauce, excellent combination. so Yummy.

Army colonel identified as victim in HI fatal boating accident
The Army today identified the man killed in a boating accident at Waianae Boat Harbor as Col. Kirk R. Slaughter, deputy commanding officer for operations of the 9th Mission Support Command.
Slaughter, 49, had a mask and fin and a surfboard or paddleboard when a 21-foot recreational powerboat exiting the harbor ran him over Thursday morning at the mouth of the harbor, according to emergency responders.
Originally from Lyons, Neb., Slaughter was stationed at Fort Shafter and had been on leave and camping at the Pililaau Army Recreation Center, according to a news release issued today by 9th Mission Support Command.
He has been with the command for the last year, and in the Army Reserve for more than 30 years, it said.
Shayne Enright, spokeswoman for the city's Department of Emergency Services, said the call came in at 7:20 a.m. Thursday.
"He was with another person, and he was apparently run over by this boat," Enright said. "They stopped and rendered aid, along with a couple of people from another boat. It happened right at the harbor entrance."
Enright said an Ocean Safety lieutenant paddled out and helped bring the man to shore, where he was pronounced dead.
Police said he was swimming 500 feet from the harbor entrance when he was struck by the boat. Police, firefighters, lifeguards and paramedics all responded.
Police are investigating the case, which is classified as an unattended death.

Andrews eases Melbourne restrictions
October 26, 2020 afndaily News 0
Melbourne retail and hospitality businesses can finally reopen amid a major easing of the city's coronavirus restrictions.
Premier Daniel Andrews, his voice croaking with emotion, has announced a raft of changes that will come into effect from midnight on Tuesday.
There will be a maximum of 20 people seated indoors for hospitality venues, with 10 per space, and 50 outdoors.
Beauty, personal services and tattoo parlours will also reopen.
People can visit other houses with much more freedom, although details will be revealed on Tuesday.
Asked about his emotion, the Mr Andrews said: "Look, it has been a very difficult year and Victorians have given a lot."
"I am proud of every single one of them," he said.
"Why it's emotional today is because people have given a lot, people have done amazing things."
He was also asked if it might be time to "get back on the beers" – a catchphrase he has used during his daily media briefings.
"I don't know I will be drinking a beer tonight – I might go a little higher on the shelf," he replied.
It is a landmark day in Victoria's fight against the virus, with no new cases and no deaths for the first time since June 9.
A second wave shut down the state, and 807 of the nation's 915 deaths have been in Victoria.
Mr Andrews and his government has been under intense pressure to ease restrictions.
"Fundamentally, this belongs to every single Victorian, every single Victorian who has followed the rules, stayed the course, worked with me and my team, to bring this second wave to an end," Mr Andrews said.
"But it is not over. This virus is not going away … It is going to be a feature of our lives every day until a vaccine turns up. These are big steps."
Mr Andrews also announced the 25km travel limit and the "ring of steel" separating Melbourne from regional Victoria will go on November 8.
Monday's DHHS figures showed average daily diagnoses over the past fortnight down to 3.6 for Melbourne and seven mystery cases from October 10-23.
The corresponding figures for regional areas are 0.2 and zero.
Equally as important, a testing blitz confirmed an outbreak in the northern suburbs that delayed Monday's announcement by 24 hours appears to be under control.
Mr Andrews' daily media conference was delayed on Monday until mid-afternoon as the government awaited latest test results from the outbreak area.
More than 4000 tests across the affected area have all come back negative, Mr Andrews confirmed.
The Victorian government has been under intense pressure to ease restrictions.
All Victorian students are now back in the classroom, with 163,000 of them from Year 8-10 in Melbourne returning to on-site learning on Monday.
