Fort Assinniboine
By Gen Geda
The summer of 1879 proved to be sweltering, made hotter for those working by brick kilns, constantly firing the seemingly endless supply of brick spat from nearby molds. Soldiers, government laborers, and civilians in the tent city toiled against, not only scorching elements of the plains, but a maddening mosquito infestation, which would draw sympathy from the most hardened of Eastern Montanans to build a fortress, a home.
Construction of Fort Assinniboine began for various reasons spanning from assigning an "offensive fortress" for the protection of civilians and "landless" peoples caught between warring nations and economic growth primarily through trade routes on the Missouri River, to defending the border against the return of Native peoples that fled to Canada following the Custer battle.
In its completion Fort Assinniboine consisted of 104 buildings and rested a mere six miles southwest of the developing city of Havre (then Bullhook). Many notable Havre residents at the time, in fact, helped to develop and serve Fort Assiniboine as a mostly self-contained community; some of the men were L.K. Devlin, Simon Pepin, and Louie Shambo. In addition to the local population, the Fort housed military officers and their families, civilians, and volunteers of the area (including Native Americans), and cavalry and infantry soldiers, creating a melting-pot in the middle of nowhere. By the fall of 1879 officers' quarters, as well as other housing units were complete and unbelievably modern for the time.
In Adventure Tales of Montana's Last Frontier by Gary Wilson, a summary of diary compilations from a chaplains' wife details the everyday life of what women may have experienced in the years following the erection of Fort Assinniboine, and it may be different than what one might think. As the Fort consisted of modernized structures, many homes, like Eliza's, had bathrooms, running water, radiator heaters, and other amenities that any "modern woman" may need in her personal bailiwick. Accounts of day-to-day operations spanned from Bible studies and household chores to community efforts amongst the women, which helped in creating friendships in what was an area for many "a long way from home and civilization." One can speculate that the parties and celebrations held at any possible turn were also a way for the military families of the Fort to alleviate home sickness and the feeling of isolation on the Montana flats, as well as a way to commemorate those who had gone before them, either from rotation of military assignments or untimely deaths (most of which were caused by disease, lack of prenatal care, and surgical complications).
Though the Fort was active for many years, it eventually was abandoned in 1911, due primarily to the reassignment and shortage of soldiers during the war against Spain. In years following its desertion, multiple proposals were made to set aside portions of acreage of Fort Assinniboine for the allotment of Native American use, which was finally granted in 1915 after bands of the Chippewa and Cree resided on the military reservation for more than a year, coming to approximately 55,000 acres. This area is now known as Rocky Boy Reservation. The Department of Agriculture commanded use of the Fort in 1913, currently known as the Fort Assinniboine Experiment Station, or the Northern Agricultural Research Center through the Montana State University system. Though several of the buildings on the Fort were torn down, some are still in use by the agricultural station, which utilizes almost 7,000 acres on the main Fort facility to grazing land in the Bear Paw Mountains which allows for grazing, and crop and livestock research.
The Northern Agricultural Research Center is located at 3710 Assinniboine Road in Havre. For more information, visit agresearch.montana.edu/narc/FortAssinniboine/index.html or call (406) 265-4383.

Over the last month, I've been traveling quite a bit. I spent a week in Bali and have now been in Australia for the last two weeks. The 24 hours of flying from LA to Indonesia combined with the week in hot and humid Bali really took a toll on my body. I have been feeling pretty dehydrated and depleted and my body has definitely felt a little off. I was craving hydration and lots of greens so I took a trip to the local organic market here threw everything that sounded hydrating in my basket and shortly after new green smoothie was born!
I do have to warn you though, this smoothie is pretty sour.. but I love anything sour. As a kid Sour neon gummy worms were basically one of my main food groups.
The Cucumber, apple, and spinach are all super hydrating foods I combined them with lemon, lime and psyllium husk which help your body cleanse.
I added Hydration Inner Beauty Boost by the Beauty Chef for an added dose of hydration. This stuff is legit. Not only does it hydrate your body, it's also jam-packed with probiotics, prebiotics, electrolytes, minerals, and vitamins which support skin health and overall wellbeing.
blend with ice and water!
I hope this smoothie leaves you feeling hydrated and back on track!


Now who wouldn't say WOW when they open the card and see all these butterflies zooming around? Even my dear, sweet husband said WOW when he opened the card and he looks at my stuff all the time with a sideways glance. I created this card as part of a demonstrator challenge. I had a lot of fun making the card and have to say that I'll be making more! The inside "spring" was made but taking the 1 3/4 inch circle punch, punching it out and then cutting it around and around. Then you glue it into your card base. The one thing I found out when making the card is that you have to make sure your springs are too close to the edge and the items you put on the springs aren't too close to the edge or they want to escape out the side. I hope you'll create your own WOW spring card. If you do, post it in the comments as I'd love to see it! Here's the details on my this card. All products from Stampin' Up!
No, I would've said wow on seeing the front of the card - really really pretty - but indeed what a fabulous idea to make the butterflies spring out - I love this - and using a circle to make this happen - wow!! Thanks for sharing!!

Q: Hello, how do I pass the value of a controller variable to a visualforce component? I want to test on "if" if the value inside bemSize is greater than 1, but salesforce does not recognize the bemSize variable, in the code it is simpler to understand, thanks for any help /o/
Controller:
global with sharing class CoberturasOrcamentoController  {
    private List<BemSegurado__c> bemSegurado2;
    public Integer bemSize;
    private Boolean varLMI;
    private BemSegurado__c bemSeguradoUniq;
    private BemSegurado__c lmiuni;
 }

public List <BemSegurado__c> getBemSegurado2(){
        if(bemSegurado2==null){
        bemSegurado2 = [
            SELECT Id, Name, NomeProprietario__c, ValorRisco__c, CPFCNPJ__c, TipoConstrucao__c, CEP__c, LocalRisco__c, ClasseBonusAnterior__c, Ocupacao__c,
            QuantidadeSinistros__c, Identificacao__c, InformacoesComplementares__c, CodigoFrota__c, CI__c, NovaClasseBonus__c,
            ValorMercado__c, RecordType.DeveloperName, Nome__c, NomeBem__c, Marca__c, Modelo__c, Combustivel__c, AnoFabricacao__c, AnoModelo__c, Cor__c,
            Placa_UF__c, TabelaFIPE__c, LotacaoMaxima__c, Chassi__c, Renavam__c, Rastreador__c, Sexo__c, DataNascimento__c, IdentificacaoMatricula__c,
            Certificado__c, SalarioBase__c,LMI_Unico__c
            FROM BemSegurado__c
            WHERE Oportunidade__c =: opportunityId
            ];
            bemSize = bemSegurado2.size();//here the variable receives the size of the list

        }
        return bemSegurado2;
    }

 public Boolean getvarLMI(){
       lmiuni = getbemSeguradoUniq();
        if(lmiuni == null){
            varLMI = false;
            return false;
        } else {
            varLMI = true;
            return true;
        }

    }

VFC:
<apex:component access="global" controller="CoberturasOrcamentoController">
    <apex:attribute name="quoteIdValue" type="String" description="This is the Id of the quote" assignTo="{!quoteId}" access="global" />
    <apex:attribute name="accountIdValue" type="String" description="This is the Id of the Account related to this quote" assignTo="{!accountId}" access="global" />
    <apex:attribute name="opportunityIdValue" type="String" description="This is the Id of the Opportunity related to this quote" assignTo="{!opportunityId}" access="global" />

<apex:outputPanel rendered="{!if(varLMI==false && bemSize>1 , true ,false)}">
                        <apex:repeat value="{!Cobertura}" var="cob">

                                {!cob.BemSegurado__r.Identificacao__c}
                                {!cob.Opcoes_de_Coberturas__r.Name}

                        </apex:repeat>
                     </apex:outputPanel>

the mistake:
Unknown property 'CoberturasOrcamentoController.bemSize'

A: Visualforce (well, the renderer that converts your Visualforce into HTML that ends up getting sent to your browser) doesn't have a way to access the variables of a class directly. Instead, Visualforce accesses things by calling a method.
Most times (except for methods given in the action parameter of things like <apex:page> and <apex:pageButton>), Salesforce will try to call a method whose name stars with "get". This is an example of "convention instead of configuration". In your example, you used bemSize in your merge expression, so Salesforce is looking for a method called getbemSize() in your controller to call.
A class variable with a "getter" (and/or a setter) method makes it a property. Since you have no getbemSize() method, Salesforce gives you the error that it can't find a property named bemSize.
The solution here is to make bemSize a property by defining a getter. You could write that by hand, but Salesforce gives us a shortcut. By simply including {get; set;} (or, minimally, {get;}) in the declaraction of bemSize, Salesforce will automatically create the appropriate getter/setter behind the scenes.
So change from
public Integer bemSize;

to
public Integer bemSize {get; set;}

You should also look through Apex Properties for a more thorough explanation.

A: You need to add get ; set; in order to access apex class members on the client side. This could be similar to what you're already doing with varLMI. You defined a getter getvarLMI that returns the value of varLMI.
or you can simply mark the property as get set.
Update line #3 to
public Integer bemSize{ get; set; }

Turmeric root powder has been widely used as a culinary spice in many cuisines, and it's also used in teas. Many of its healing benefits have been attributed to curcumin, a group of antioxidant compounds found in the rhizome. Turmeric as a whole herb stays in the digestive tract longer than curcumin, releasing antioxidant curcumin along with other beneficial substances.
Too much turmeric used for extended periods of time may cause stomach distress.
Women trying to conceive should limit their consumption and avoid entirely during pregnancy. Excessive use of turmeric should also be avoided in people with congestive heart failure.

On behalf of Heymann & Fletcher posted in Family Law on Thursday, August 17, 2017.
Young people today have a vastly different experience of life than their parents or grandparents enjoyed. Advancements in technology have forever altered the way that we live, work and interact with one another. When young people in New Jersey prepare to marry, they have a unique set of family legal issues that need to be addressed. To that end, the prenuptial agreements that they create are very different from those used in decades past.
Prenups of old were primarily focused on matters of inheritance. They were drafted to protect the spouse who expected to inherit property, often at the insistence of the generation who currently held the property in question. Overwhelmingly, they were written to favor the moneyed spouse.
Today, however, prenups are often used to protect the intellectual property of one or both parties. Younger couples want to make the best possible financial decisions for their future, and that includes ensuring that the eventual fruits of their innovation and ingenuity are protected. Today's couples are also less likely to allow prenup negotiations to become a source of contention in their relationship.
Another set of family legal issues that New Jersey couples address in their prenup involves debt. Determining how debt would be divided in the event of a divorce is important. That is especially true for couples where one party has accumulated high levels of debt building a business or perfecting a product. In this way, a prenup can be viewed as a means of protecting each other from taking on a debt burden that is not directly tied to their own entrepreneurial efforts.

Two veterans received brand-new cars today in West Palm Beach through the Progressive Insurance Keys to Progress program. The national company gives away 100 cars to deserving veterans across the country each year. Tony Griffin was one of the recipients this year and received a brand-new Volkswagen Jetta. "It's definitely going to lessen the burden of trying to get around," Griffin said. Griffin served in the U.S. Army in 1983 and became a supply specialist. He was stationed in Kansas and later Hawaii. In 1990, Griffin moved back to his native Chicago and later married. Last year, he and his wife Earline moved to South Florida for health reasons, but did not have a car. Griffin said he has three job interviews lined up and the car will be a big help. Jerome Vickers also received a new vehicle. He was given a shiny black Honda Accord sedan. "It's unbelievable and overwhelming," Vickers said. Vickers was born in Newark, New Jersey. He joined the Army in 1982 and spent six years as a communications specialist. Vickers moved to Palm Beach County five years ago to work toward getting his doctorate degree in education. He said when he arrived, his car broke down and was not repairable. Vickers said shortly after that, he became homeless, but still stayed in school. Three years later, he graduated.Vickers now works as a substitute teacher. He said the new car will help him achieve his goal of a becoming a college professor. "Just to be able to get around, not only to get a permanent job, but just to run errands and get back and forth," Vickers said. Both men received help through the Faith, love, hope charity. Along with the cars, Vickers and Griffin are getting their car insurance paid for six months, and had their tag, title and tax fees paid through donations. They also each received $300 in gas cards. Michael Weil of Progressive Insurance said he loves this program because it's all locally sourced from about 20-30 businesses. "The cars we get are from here in Florida, we use local charities, we use body shops, so it's really local efforts," Weil said.

Vickers said shortly after that, he became homeless, but still stayed in school.
Three years later, he graduated.
Vickers now works as a substitute teacher.
He said the new car will help him achieve his goal of a becoming a college professor.
"Just to be able to get around, not only to get a permanent job, but just to run errands
and get back and forth," Vickers said.
Both men received help through the Faith, love, hope charity.
Along with the cars, Vickers and Griffin are getting their car insurance paid for six months, and had their tag, title and tax fees paid through donations.
They also each received $300 in gas cards.
Michael Weil of Progressive Insurance said he loves this program because it's all locally sourced from about 20-30 businesses.
"The cars we get are from here in Florida, we use local charities, we use body shops, so it's really local efforts," Weil said.

Internet Explorer continues to Find: Webstate - ie grows on desktops, chrome falls; on mobiles, android up, safari down
// published on Ars Technica // visit site
Internet Explorer continues to grow, and Mavericks already on 11 percent of Macs
Net Market Share
If nothing else, the browser and operating system numbers from October showed the huge behavioral differences between Mac users and Windows users. Both Microsoft and Apple released new versions of their desktop operating systems last month, with Windows 8.1 from Microsoft and OS X 10.9 Mavericks from Apple. In raw terms, Windows 8.1 already has many more users than Mavericks—about double—but as a proportion of the actual user base of the two platforms, it's the Apple software that's in the lead. 10.9 percent of Mac users are on the latest version of the operating system. Just 1.9 percent of PC users are on the newest Windows.
In a month that also saw Microsoft release a new version of its browser, not a great deal has changed among desktop browser preference. Internet Explorer picked up 0.42 points, Firefox gained 0.10 points, and Chrome dropped 0.54 points. Safari and Opera saw a gain of 0.07 and a loss of 0.05 points, respectively.

The Singleton of Glen Ord, kick-starts the World Whisky Day celebration through an exclusive tasting session at Co-Working Space, Colony KL. The exclusive event brought great flavours, ideas and young entrepreneurs who thrive for success together as they explore the rich and rewarding taste of the whisky.
Jeremy Lee, Brand Ambassador of Diageo Malaysia, hosted guests to share knowledge on Scotch whiskies, particularly The Singleton through its variants including the 12 Year Old, 15 Year Old and 18 Year Old. The variants won the hearts of the guests as the whiskies were praised for its rich, smooth and perfectly balanced flavours, giving them a fulfilling drinking experience as they unwind for the evening.
In conjunction with the global whisky celebration to cultivate the love for whiskies and its flavours, guests were given the opportunity to explore a new taste experience with The Singleton. The session allowed them to pair the whisky with specially Singleton-infused handmade chocolates handcrafted by Love18 Chocolatier, the Itakuja Chocolate and Japanese Nama styled Chocolate. The Japanese Nama styled Chocolates were made with Callebaut Belgium Dark chocolates, while the Itakuja Chocolates, which was showcased in Malaysia for the first time, is made of Varlhona single origin chocolates from Brazil and double fermented with passionfruit, making it one of the most priced chocolates around the world.
In efforts to continue the celebration of great taste and Scotch, whisky enthusiasts and new entrants alike can embark on the journey of taste with The Singleton throughout the month of June through Diageo's #LoveScotch platform. There will be a series of upcoming collaborations with local artisan purveyors that is set to arouse and tantalize consumers' taste buds with every sip. Consumers can also look forward to the #LoveScotch Festival that is set to celebrate an array of flavours together with The Singleton.


This document provides some exemplary use cases for service function chaining in mobile service provider networks. The objective of this draft is not to cover all conceivable service chains in detail. Rather, the intention is to localize and explain the application domain of service chaining within mobile networks as far as it is required to complement the problem statement and framework statements of the working group. Service function chains typically reside in a LAN segment which links the mobile access network to the actual application platforms located in the carrier's datacenters or somewhere else in the Internet. Service function chains ensure a fair distribution of network resources according to agreed service policies, enhance the performance of service delivery, take care of security and privacy or support application and business support platforms. General considerations and specific use cases are presented in this document to demonstrate the different technical requirements of these goals for service function chaining in mobile service provider networks. The specification of service function chaining for mobile networks must take into account an interaction between service function chains and the 3GPP Policy and Charging Control (PCC) environment.

Sustainable Pre-eminence: Reforming the U.S. Military at a Time of Strategic Change

Click here to read the transcript from the May 29 live web chat with the authors of Sustainable Pre-eminence.
Maintaining the U.S. military's global pre-eminence is vital to protecting American interests and promoting American values. However, the Pentagon still has not enacted the types of reforms that are necessary to sustain that pre-eminence into the future. The reality of constrained defense budgets presents DOD with an opportunity to adopt reforms that will make the U.S. military more effective as well as less expensive.
In Sustainable Pre-eminence: Reforming the U.S. Military at a Time of Strategic Change, CNAS experts LTG David W. Barno, USA (Ret.), Dr. Nora Bensahel, Matthew Irvine and Travis Sharp argue that DOD should organize and operate America's armed forces in new ways. The report outlines how DOD should strengthen joint force integration, downsize military headquarters and reduce its civilian and contractor workforces. It then offers specific recommendations for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and special operations forces.

NY Jets 'deeply involved' in trade talks for Yannick Ngakoue
NY Jets, Yannick Ngakoue (Photo by James Gilbert/Getty Images)
The NY Jets are reportedly "deeply involved" in trade talks for star edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue.
The NY Jets could be set to make a major splash addition to their defense in the form of star pass-rusher Yannick Ngakoue, if reports are to be believed.
As reported by The Athletic's Michael Lombardi, the Jets are "deeply involved" in trade discussions for the Pro Bowl pass-rusher. Lombardi iterated that he's not sure that it will happen, but that the Jets are "trying."
This comes soon after Lombardi tweeted out that the Jacksonville Jaguars were "extremely close" to trading Ngakoue and that the team had a "firm offer in place" for what was presumed to be a second-round pick.
It appears as though that team could be the Jets.
Ngakoue is one of the better pass-rushers in the NFL recording eight or more sacks in each of his four NFL seasons so far including a 12.0-sack performance in 2017 that landed him his first Pro Bowl nod.
The former Maryland star has also totaled four or more forced fumbles in three of his four seasons. Ngakoue would immediately become the Jets' best edge rusher in years, likely since the days of John Abraham.
The star pass-rusher was franchise tagged by the Jaguars this offseason, but has iterated that he has no plans of playing another game with the organization. And he's made his intentions very clear through his words on social media.
Yannick Ngakoue would be a huge addition to the NY Jets' defense.
Nonetheless, adding Ngakoue would be massive for a Jets defense that lost its two best players in the matter of weeks. And given the barren state of the edge-rusher group, it certainly would fill a need.
At the moment, the Jets are slated to enter the 2020 season with the likes of Jordan Jenkins and Tarell Basham holding down the position. But neither is anywhere near the pass-rusher that Ngakoue is.
A third-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Ngakoue has missed just one game through four years and established himself as a cornerstone of Jacksonville's defense.
He would be needing a new contract, but for the price of a second-round pick, it's hard to argue that it wouldn't be worth it.
Despite months of a reported lack of interest, general manager Joe Douglas might be set to pull off a blockbuster trade that nobody saw coming.

If this turns out to be true, Joe Douglas is indeed a ninja.


At this time of year, I particularly enjoy making strawberry rhubarb pie, grilled or roasted asparagus, any type of salad (spring bounty chopped salad) and of course any recipe involving sweet potatoes is must! I can't wait to try these Cajun sweet potato fingers with chili mayonnaise.

This beach is a protected area not only for its natural beauty, but also because of the kind of palm tree, Phoenix Theophrasti, that you can find only here in all Europe. Until midday you will have time to enjoy yourself in the water and on the beach. Afterwards, you will visit the monastery of Toplou, which is dated back to the Venetian time.

Statehood: An electoral plank for pol parties?
By The Hills Times on	 August 13, 2017 Editorial
"The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend."
The genesis of self determination and desire for self rule was always there right from the times of the Raj in almost all the tribes in north east India. In fact Assam is very late to be in turmoil with this issue. The very nature of the composition of the population in the state and the fear of the migrants from mainland India and illegal migrants from Bangladesh have given fillip to the youth leaders of the state in the late 70s and 80s. Some have taken the path of insurgency like the ULFA and the then BSF (Bodo Security Force) and some have taken to democratic agitation like the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and Autonomous State Demand Committee (ASDC).
It is very disheartening that the Assamese youth have to fight for their won existence through the AGP in their own land and the ASDC have to agitate for the dues of the Dimasa and Karbi tribes. In Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao the seed for more autonomy, known in various times as Autonomous State, separate state and statehood, has been sown long time back. The movement for autonomy just ebbed and flowed and reached its crescendo with the Autonomous State movement of the then ASDC in Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao. The issue of autonomy or self rule or autonomous state will keep on festering like maggot infested wound if not solved. The leaders of the then ASDC may have failed in what they came out to do but they sure left an impact in the body politics of the two districts. Now, no national party worth its salt dare go into any kind of election without promising statehood or autonomous state in the two hill districts. The Congress till 2016 was vouching for separate state for Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao.
But, the Congress, when it was in power at Diphu, Dispur and Delhi did pretty little convincing on the issue. The BJP too did not want to be left behind and jumped into the autonomous state bandwagon making it the first point on its manifesto for election to the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) 2017. Before that, senior BJP leaders LK Advani promised the same at Kheroni in West Karbi Anglong and Rajnath Singh did the same at Bakaliaghat in Karbi Anglong. The Congress party while it was in power in KAAC, state and Delhi promise autonomous state and even separate state to Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao from time to time, that is, it keep the issue alive so as to keep the regional forces in check. Smarting from the defeat in the recent KAAC election the Congress leaders of Karbi Anglong and allied organisations went to Jantar Mantar to agitate for Autonomous State for Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao. But the way the Congress handled the issue made their sincerity suspect. Now that the BJP is in power at KAAC, Dispur and Delhi, it is to be seen whether it will keep its electoral promise of Autonomous State or not. If the BJP too act just as the Congress did then sooner or later the hills of Assam will be agonised again.

With Sunday (May 19) marking the 10th anniversary of the show's pilot, we've rounded up some of our favorite episodes to help you binge-watch down memory lane and relive Glee's glory days, from the episode-length tributes to music legends to the constant turmoil students at McKinley High were thrown into while singing their way to Billboard chart success.
Ten Years Ago, One of the Biggest Forces in Billboard Hot 100 History Debuted on Primetime…
See our picks below.
(Season 1, Episode 13)
The New Directions are crowned winners at their first sectionals — but not without plenty of chaos and drama. After Finn (Cory Monteith) discovers his best friend Puck (Mark Salling) is actually the father of girlfriend Quinn's (Dianna Agron) baby, he abandons the glee club right before the big competition. The group arrives to sectionals to find out their competitors have taken their three chosen songs, leaving the club no choice but to improvise a new setlist. Finn returns and the New Directions deliver a show-stopping performance, with Rachel (Lea Michele) belting her hair-raising rendition of Barbra Streisand's Funny Girl standout "Don't Rain on My Parade" before the group's cover of the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
"The Power of Madonna"
The episode opens with cheerleading coach Sue (Jane Lynch) declaring her love for Madonna, whom she calls "the most powerful woman to ever walk the face of the earth." Sue and glee club coach Will (Matthew Morrison) challenge the cheerleading squad and the glee club respectively to channel their inner Madonna, with Will hoping to empower New Directions' female members. Madonna granted Glee full access to her catalog for the episode and the cast took full advantage; the episode is packed with hits by the Queen of Pop, including "Express Yourself," "Like a Virgin" and "Like a Prayer."
Everything We Know About Madonna's New Album 'Madame X'
"Britney/Brittany"
(Season 2, Episode 2)
Cheerleader Brittany (Heather Morris) finds herself in the spotlight for this tribute episode to Britney Spears. Brittany — who reveals her full name as Brittany S. Pierce — reveals she has lived in Spears' "shadow" her entire life and discourages the glee club from performing the pop star's music. However, after she is put under anesthesia at the dentist, Brittany experiences "Britney hallucinations" set to some of Spears' biggest hits. While the episode has been criticized for lacking in plot, there's something to be said for Brittany's killer "I'm a Slave 4 U" performance; the former Beyoncé backup dancer recreates some of Spears' most iconic dance moves and looks, and pulls them off almost too convincingly.
"Grilled Cheesus"
Glee tackles the sensitive topic of religion in this episode, as Kurt (Chris Colfer) struggles after his dad suffers a heart attack and Finn believes he's found the face of Jesus in a grilled cheese. "Grilled Cheesus" strikes the perfect balance of comedy and seriousness, portraying a wide spectrum of religious views among its cast. The episode featured seven cover songs — including "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "Only the Good Die Young" and "Losing My Religion" — which all charted on the Hot 100.
"Blame It On the Alcohol"
The episode mainly focuses on underage drinking as Rachel throws a party the same week the glee club is slated to perform at an assembly about the dangers of alcohol. At the party, Rachel and Blaine (Darren Criss) share a drunken kiss before performing a karaoke duet to The Human League's "Don't You Want Me." The next day, the hungover high schoolers attempt to feign normalcy while they attend classes and later perform Kesha's "Tik Tok" at the assembly.
Kesha's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits
"The First Time" somehow manages to weave together two very different storylines: McKinley High gearing up for its production of West Side Story and Glee's two couples — Rachel and Finn, and Blaine and Kurt — deciding to lose their virginity. The expertly crafted episode mainly features West Side Story classics like "Tonight" and "America," but also includes a catchy cover of Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" sung by the Dalton Academy Warblers.
"Dance With Somebody"
New Directions grapple with the death of Whitney Houston, opening the episode with a moving rendition of "How Will I Know" as they pass around a framed photo of Houston in the halls. The episode was shot shortly after the powerhouse singer's passing in early 2012 and paid her tribute with the glee club jamming out to "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," Rachel and Santana (Naya Rivera) delivering the high energy "So Emotional" and the group coming together onstage to close with "My Love Is Your Love."
Glee fans waited three years for the day New Directions would get their shot at Nationals and this episode delivered. The club faces off against Vocal Adrenaline and delivers some of their most spectacular musical numbers yet, earning a standing ovation and roars of applause with their last song, "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." "Nationals" might've been a little predictable, but it gave the fans everything they wanted and more; after all, who doesn't love a good underdog story?
This Week in Billboard Chart History: In 1995, Whitney Houston Led the Hot 100 With 'Exhale (Shoop…
The episode is aptly titled "The Break Up" for a reason, and few of Glee's power couples go unscathed. Finn reunites with Rachel but feels without purpose after being discharged from the army, while Blaine feels neglected by Kurt who's caught up in his new job at Vogue. In the end, both couples decide to call it quits, along with Brittany and Santana who struggle with their long-distance relationship.
"You are my first love and I want more than anything for you to be my last, but I can't do this anymore," Rachel tells Finn. The two share a last kiss, and all of the show's couples perform a heartbreaking rendition of Coldplay's "The Scientist" as flashbacks from their relationships roll. Cue the waterworks.
"The Quarterback"
Cory Monteith, who played Finn, died tragically of a drug overdose in July 2013 and "The Quarterback" was dedicated to him. The episode opens with new and old members of New Directions joining together to sing "Seasons of Love" from Rent at Finn's funeral, and follows the cast mourning his death and coping with their grief in very different ways. The characters' song tributes to Finn are heartbreaking to watch — notably, Rachel's flawless performance of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love" — but the episode is beautifully executed and fused with powerful, raw emotion.

Why Sometimes Sparks Just Aren't Enough
Leading From The Feminine: how to go farther, faster & with much less stress
Published by coachdave at March 4, 2014
Once you strip off the mask of your "assumed identity," you may just be surprised what you find beneath…
I hope you'll pardon the slightly cryptic nature of the headline but this may be one of the most exciting blogs I've ever written. It's also potentially one of the most important ones you'll ever read. Here's why: I want to share a huge breakthrough one of my clients has had that even the experts said couldn't happen!
Let's back up for a second
I started working with my client just 7 short months ago and the change in her has been nothing short of incredible. When we first met, she firmly believed she was shy and introverted – but as we gradually revealed the woman beneath "the mask" she wore for protection…it didn't seem all that true. Once we healed and resolved some long-standing wounds from her childhood which had always held her back, an all-new woman began to emerge. Then from there, she confidently handled an old dispute with a contractor who had not completed his work before disappearing. She calmly took the lead in a family health crisis and built a consensus when the rest of her family was stressed out and worried. She stood up to a bully who was intimidating her by setting new boundaries effectively and she defused the situation. Then, as if all that that wasn't enough, she decided to leave her job and launch her own business. It has been incredibly rewarding to watch this woman give her entire life a "makeover" by stepping up with newfound confidence and faith in herself.
But That's Not Even The Best Part
While in the process of laying the groundwork for her new company, my client had an opportunity to once again use a diagnostic tool called the Meyers Briggs test. If you're not familiar with it, the Meyers Briggs test is one of the most well-known and reliable instruments we have when it comes to measuring psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.
In fact, it was a MB test many years ago that first "confirmed" her assumption that she was an introvert. Interestingly enough, it's widely believed by those who administer the test that "your basic preferences will likely not change" over the course of your lifetime. However, due to the phenomenal growth and permanent healing my client has done in our work together – her latest test NOW says she is EXTROVERTED – and by a wide margin, too! Now I'm not suggesting it's somehow "better" to be extroverted rather than introverted, however, these new characteristics have served her well as she has stepped up, handled disputes, negotiated effectively and re-created her life. It's also created all-new possibilities for her by accessing all-new skills and abilities.
New healing brings new possibilities
Can you imagine how this ONE change has affected her entire world and circumstances?!? As a supposed introvert, my client believed she was "thought" oriented when, in fact, she is "action" oriented. She thought she preferred "depth" of knowledge and influence when she actually sought "breadth" of knowledge and wide-ranging expertise. She thought she preferred more "substantial" interaction with fewer people who were close to her, when, in fact, she was actually quite comfortable (and now more experienced in) public speaking and more "frequent" interactions. She used to think she recharged her energy by spending time alone when in fact, she actually loved spending time with people. We also saw some big changes in her shift away from "judging" and always having to be rigid and organized, in favor of a new acceptance and gift for "perceiving" of where opportunities already exist. In short, she was playing kind of small because she could only go on what she thought she knew at the time…and she was hugely mistaken. Simply put, now that she was PERCEIVING her opportunities differently, she was free to handle them in all-new and more effective ways.
That's the power of "Identity"
Identity is the strongest force in the human personality because people MUST live in alignment with who they believe they are at the deepest levels – otherwise, they experience great pain. This woman was operating on some old assumptions of who she believed she was BEFORE she was healed. Once we healed the original wounds, we were able to shore up and strengthen the foundation upon which everything else rested. From there, we were able to create a new and more compelling future which was much more congruent with how she really wanted to show up on a daily basis. As a result of her new and improved identity, she was now able to access enhanced skills and capabilities that were infinitely more effective in creating the life she desired – and deserved. In other words, once she claimed her new, more empowered identity, she was also able to find the traits she needed within her.
So where are you playing small?
I didn't share this whole story just to brag about how my client has defied the experts and made such tremendous shifts in HER world in such a very short time. (Although that IS really awesome!) Actually, I shared it so you might be inspired to take a look at some of the old stories or unresolved wounds that aren't serving you. On the other side of healing lies the life and reality that you really want. That's because once you do the work, it opens up all new possibilities that weren't available to you prior. I like to tell my clients that awareness is a very powerful gift because you can never really un-ring the bell. Once you have a new awareness or see a new reality you never saw prior, you can't pretend you didn't know. Sure, you can try to ignore it…but once you know the truth…you will eventually have to shift out of your old and outdated "assumed identity." It's just too painful to stay stuck behind an old mask you've outgrown. After all, if you could assume ANY identity you want, why would you settle for one that's so far beneath what you truly deserve to have?
