Start Your Day To The Soothing Sounds Of These Astounding Final Fantasy XIV Bards
Heather Alexandra
It's not uncommon to hear bards play a tune or two in Final Fantasy XIV. Sometimes that's a light twiddling song on a flute, sometimes that means playing "Megalovania" in the middle of a crowded bar. Last night, I ran into a fantastic impromptu concert. The real world's a disaster right now. Lighten the load with some music.
Bards have been able to play music for a few years now, to the delight and dismay of players everywhere. There are incredibly skilled bards. There's that one guy playing a single "emergency note" in the middle of the market. If you're lucky, you can find full bands of traveling minstrels. That was my luck last night walking in the main square of Limsa Lominsa, one of Final Fantasy XIV's major cities. A small crowd was forming, and a group of impeccably disciplined bards began to play. It was great. Probably one of the best things I've encountered in the game so far.
It started simply with a calm song from Chrono Cross. Chrono Cross is a sequel to the beloved Chrono Trigger, but it has one of the best scores in any game ever made. Yasunori Mitsuda's a masterful composer, and this tune, the music for the alternate-reality island of Marbule, is a perfect piece to chill too. The minstrels played with outstanding coordination and the crowd began to grow accordingly.
The intensity ramped up from there with more JRPG classics. There was "Stab the Sword of Justice" from Star Ocean, and the concert really took off once the bards played "The Man With the Machine Gun" from Final Fantasy VIII. It's not uncommon to hear these songs from time to time, but the bards were the best of the best. Watch it, hear it, enjoy it.
It's a quaint notion that we can avoid the real world's issues by retreating into games. It's true to a point. You can have an adventure, fight a boss, and maybe decorate a house. You can also enjoy a concert. 2020's off to a messy start. Hopefully these tiny, badass bards will start your day right.

Ricky Gervais reveals he turned down chance to do comedy in space
Washington [US], January 13 (ANI): Comedian and host Ricky Gervais recently revealed that he had turned down a chance to become the first comedian to do a gig in space.
According to Fox News, the 59-year-old host appeared on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' and told the late-night host that he was recently pitched the new opportunity but felt it was too dangerous.
"I was offered one of these things where you go up into space for 15 minutes. And it was like a group of billionaires and they offered me the chance to be the first comedian to do a stand-up show in space. No. I'm not going to risk it," he said.
The creator of 'After Life,' then said that the whole experience would have been a waste of time for him.
"These people have paid USD 300,000 to go into space and have a look around… and then they go there and it's Ricky Gervais doing 10 minutes. They can watch me on YouTube," he jokingly said.
Fox News reported that the comic has also applied his no-nonsense attitude to the social media phenomenon that is cancel culture and its impact on the world of comedy and how difficult he finds it to make comedy in an environment where the consequences of one's words are so dire. (ANI)

YouTube Eliminates 82 Sites with Ortega Regime Propaganda
YouTube channels shut down / Confidencial
The closure of the YouTube channels occurred two days after Facebook, eliminated a "cross-government troll farm" in Nicaragua.
By Confidencial
HAVANA TIMES – Google Alphabet, YouTube's parent company, has cancelled 82 YouTube channels and three blogs, all tied to the Nicaraguan government's troll farm whose existence was disclosed on November 1st. The channels broadcast sports and information sympathetic to the Ortega regime, a spokesperson from the Tech company told the Reuters agency. The closure of the YouTube channels occurred two days after Facebook, eliminated a "cross-government troll farm" in Nicaragua.
The Google Alphabet spokesperson explained that the elimination of the channels is related to an investigation underway on coordinated influence operations tied to Nicaragua. The Facebook report mentions that YouTube was also part of the Ortega regime's network of false accounts. The Nicaraguan government strategy involved fake accounts on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, BlogSpot and Telegram as well.
The small YouTube channels had fewer than 1500 subscribers in total. They mainly "put up fraudulent contents in Spanish, regarding games and sports. A small subset put out content that supported President Ortega and the Sandinista party and criticized the United States."
"This campaign was consistent with similar findings reported by Facebook," stated the Reuters spokesperson.
Facebook uncovered the "troll farm"
Similarly, the Facebook report maintained that the pro-government "troll farm" they uncovered published "contents that presented the government in a positive light, along with negative comments about the opposition This propaganda operation utilized hundreds of fake accounts to promote these posts." In addition, the report demonstrated the involvement of several of the state institutions in the generation of digital content.
"It was primarily operated by employees of the Nicaraguan Institute of Telecommunications and the Post (TELCOR), working from the headquarters of the postal service in Managua. Additional smaller clusters of fake accounts were run from other government institutions, including the Supreme Court and the Nicaraguan Social Security Institute," the report indicates.
On October 29, several Ortega supporters were complaining on Twitter that "thousands" or "two hundred" accounts had been suspended. They termed the dismantling of the "troll farm" as an "imperialist attack", and called the massive suspension of accounts, "censorship, to create a media fence around the accounts of leftists from the continent." These sources claimed the companies had also suspended accounts from Venezuela.
However, Twitter and Facebook asserted that the cause of the suspension was "coordinated inauthentic behavior" from the Ortega-allied trolls, involving the proliferation of fake accounts. "We eliminated a network of 937 Facebook accounts, 140 pages, 24 groups and 363 Instagram accounts in Nicaragua," the tech company stated.
Members of the opposition, human rights defenders and journalists have denounced that they were victims of coordinated smear campaigns and harassment through fake profiles from "users" claiming to sympathize with the Ortega regime.

A Permanent Memorial For Your beloved pet That Lives On.
Our deepest condolences if you need to buy a biodegradable urn for the ashes of an animal companion that has died, our thoughts go out to you at this sad time.
Our SPIRITREE Urn and tree saplings will provide a simple, unique and permanent living memorial for you to celebrate your relationship and return them to the earth. Simply add the ashes to the urn's lower biodegradable section, and pass the roots of one of our tree saplings through the hole in the ceramic top section through to the bottom container, and then to the ground beneath, find a meaningful spot and plant the tree roots. Over a short period of time, the bottom urn container completely breaks down and the tree roots combine with the ashes giving you a living memorial that is literally being supported by your equine companion or pet.
The potential issue of the salts and high alkalinity found in ashes and their impact on a young trees roots have been addressed as over time the ashes become closer to PH neutral and the salts become beneficial to the tree.
The Spiritree Urn is an innovative product that biodegrades after several months leaving you with a discrete and personal memorial that gives something special back to the environment.


Congress, never all that well known for thoughtful deliberation with a mid-term election coming up, has voted a torrent of hush-money for a babe named Katrina. Anything to keep her quiet, anything at all. Our behind-the-curve president has asked for nearly $70 billion in a week and if it takes a hundred, the votes are there. This last outpouring of money passed the House 410 to 11 and the Senate 97 to nothing. What voice of reason can be heard in that stampede?
Everybody in Washington is on this money train. Louisiana plans to ask for billions (a hundred, two hundred?) to upgrade New Orleans levees, rebuild highways and infrastructure to lure back business. Business has been voluntarily leaving New Orleans for two decades. By 2050, the Gulf of Mexico is expected to be two to three feet higher than it now is and somebody better blow the whistle for a time-out before we find ourselves $25 billion down that hole in the ocean.
It may well be that politicians, historians and those who simply love the Crescent City's vibrant past will have no real say in its future. Insurance underwriting and development capital are likely to be unwilling to go where no Congressman fears to tread. Capital markets have no nostalgia. The difficulty is that a heap of money can be lost to infrastructure before that reality becomes clear. The very first order of business should be to test the capital markets. Not with dreams, with commitments.
It's not an opportune time to bring such things up, but I am not a politician with an election at hand and a badly bungled hurricane response. New Orleans is, for the present, mostly a ghost town. There is time and there is a deadly serious requirement to look at what we're doing and why we are doing it. The hundred miles of shipping ports along the lower Mississippi don't need New Orleans. Neither does business, as its disproportionately vacant office buildings attest.
When I was there six years ago, jazz could be found but you needed a deep breath and a guide to get past the hip-hop and techno to finally stagger into Preservation Hall. There is exquisite architecture in the wealthier neighborhoods, but the poverty and murder rates belie its reputation as a grand old city. Nostalgia is not a reason for a city to exist, even if it were possible.
There is money that must be spent and spent immediately, but not for rebuilding. Those who lost everything and have no resources must be clothed and fed, found jobs and their children educated. If all else failed, we are large enough for that, must take those responsibilities and be grateful we are able. This wide nation can easily accept two or three hundred thousand people and give them a lift.
I don't doubt that we can control to an acceptable level of theft the money that might be spent to rebuild New Orleans. That's not my point. This city, by all logical standards of measurement, is no longer economically, historically or socially viable.
The past four years of this administration have increased our national indebtedness by a factor of 50% of all the debt this nation has acquired since 1776. A three trillion dollar increase, three thousand billions shot down the pipe to our kids and grandkids. Congress, in its unconscionable dereliction of fiscal duty, has made that possible. $450 billion in 2002, $984 billion in 2003, $800 billion in 2004 and , between our undeclared and unfunded war, hurricane Katrina and the additional insanity of the Bush tax relief demands, probably another $1,000 billion this year.
With no end in sight but national bankruptcy.

Assessment of prescribing in health (the ASPRINH Project): how should we ensure health professionals are prescribe-ready?
prescribing role, and the identification of appropriate methods to demonstrate graduate prescribing competence.
(c) The development of an assessment 'toolkit' which may be used across healthcare professions to demonstrate student prescribing competence. This paper will focus on the review of existing assessment methods across five health professions.
A significant proportion of the PCF is reflected in the current learning outcomes for the five professions studied, regardless of existing prescribing status. Methods employed to assess prescribing differ according to profession. The most commonly employed assessment method is the written examination. A significant proportion of the PCF is currently addressed by individual professional practice standards/guidelines e.g. Optometry (92%) and Pharmacy (88%).
responsibility for ensuring graduates are capable of undertaking the task of prescribing where this forms part of accepted practice scope. The ASPRINH project aims to contribute to inter-professional consistency in the demonstration of prescribing competence and provide graduates with the competence and confidence to undertake this significant task.

The most button-wearing-outest moments of the year.
Obviously, it's not possible to actually pause The Force Awakens yet (unless you're a damn dirty pirate), but there was a lot of contention at year's end about whether Luke Skywalker was standing next to a gravestone on his little island when Rey came across him. It could have just been a rock, obviously, but that wouldn't be as exciting. Expect this to be a big issue once the film comes out on blu-ray and someone can prove it definitively either way.

Now that construction is over and the 2010San Francisco Decorator Showcase is officially open, it's time for the fancy parties to be begin. Gregg and I had a fantastic time at the Sponsors Gala on Thursday, April 29th. We got to hob-knob with the Press, members of the design community, as well as supporters of San Francisco University High School and the Showcase. We also discovered that you can cram about 15 people into our little bathroom before it gets really interesting. Who knew it would be such a great party space?


Fall is officially here; bring on the pumpkins, caramel apples, and (hopefully) cooler weather! Across the nation, the leaves are starting to change color and there's a crisp coolness creeping into the air, but as all Floridians know, our palm trees will stay green and the temperatures won't be dropping like they are in northern states. But, that doesn't mean that fall is any less fun in Florida! One great way to get into the spirit of autumn is to put up some festive, cheery decorations. Another fantastic way to welcome the change of the seasons is to spend some quality family time – and why not combine both of these things? Here at Island Tile, we have put together a list of some creative DIY fall décor projects that you can do with your family. Read on!
If you're a fan of interior design, you probably watch HGTV, read real estate magazines, and use Pinterest for home design inspiration. You've also probably noticed that marble is gaining popularity – it's all the rage, and we don't have to wonder why! Marble comes in a variety of beautiful colors and patterns, and whether it's used as a countertop surface, a floor surface or wall surface, marble can make a room feel elegant and expensive. If you're considering marble for your own home, there are plenty of things to take into consideration. Arguably the biggest decision – should you go with real marble or opt for marble-look tile? Let's explore the differences, the pros, and the cons, of marble vs. marble-look tile.

Jan. 6 hearing: Trump 'chose not to act' as mob hit Capitol
Updated: 10:17 PM CDT Jul 21, 2022
By MARY CLARE JALONICK
We obtained the never before seen raw footage of the president recording his address to the nation that day on January seven, more than 24 hours after the last time he had addressed the nation from the rose garden. Let's take *** look whenever you're ready, sir. Yeah, Yeah. I would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack yesterday and to those who broke the law, you will pay, you do not represent our movement, You do not represent our country. And if you broke the law, you can't say that. I'm not gonna. You already said you will pay the demonstrators who infiltrated the capitol have defied the seat of dust. It's defiled. Right. See, I can't see it very well. Okay. I'll do this. I'm gonna do this. Let's go. But this election is now over. Congress has certified the results. I don't want to say the election's over. I just want to say Congress has certified the results without saying the election's over. Okay. But congress is certain. Yeah, I didn't say over. So let's let mission. Don't go to the paragraph before. Okay. I would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack yesterday. Yesterday is *** hard word for me. Uh good take the word yesterday because it doesn't work with heinous attack in our country. Say on our country. I want to say that. My only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote. My only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote on january 7th one day after he incited an insurrection based on *** lie. President trump. Still could not say that the election was over.
Despite desperate pleas from aides, allies, Republican congressional leaders and even his family, Donald Trump refused to call off the Jan. 6 mob attack on the Capitol, instead "pouring gasoline on the fire" by aggressively tweeting his false claims of a stolen election and telling the crowd of supporters in a video address how special they were.The next day, he declared anew, "I don't want to say the election is over." That was in a previously unaired outtake of a speech he was to give, shown at Thursday night's prime-time hearing of the House investigating committee.The committee documented how for some 187 minutes, from the time Trump left a rally stage sending his supporters to the Capitol to the time he ultimately appeared in the Rose Garden video, nothing could move the defeated president, who watched the violence unfold on TV.Even a statement prepared for Trump to deliver — which said, "I am asking you to leave the Capitol Hill region NOW and go home in a peaceful way." — could not be delivered as written, without Trump editing it to repeat his baseless claims of voter fraud that sparked the deadly assault. "So go home," he did say, adding, "We love you. You're very special. ... I know how you feel."He also had wanted to include language about pardoning the rioters in that speech, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified previously."President Trump didn't fail to act," said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a fellow Republican but frequent Trump critic who flew fighter jets in Iraq and Afghanistan. "He chose not to act."Plunging into its second prime-time hearing on the Capitol attack, the committee aimed to show a "minute by minute" accounting of Trump's actions that fateful day, how he summoned the crowd to Washington with his false claims of a stolen election and then dispatched them to fight for his presidency.With the Capitol siege raging, Trump poured "gasoline on the fire" by tweeting condemnation of Mike Pence's refusal to go along with his plan to stop the certification of Joe Biden's victory, former aides told the Jan. 6 investigating committee in a prime-time hearing Thursday night.Two Trump aides resigned on the spot."I thought that Jan. 6 2021, was one of the darkest days in our nation's history," said former White House aide Sarah Matthews testifying before the panel. "And President Trump was treating it as a celebratory occasion. So it just further cemented my decision to resign."Video below: Matthews testified that Ivanka Trump offered to include 'stay peaceful' in Donald Trump's message to riotersThe committee played audio of Gen.

You've got an assault going on on the Capitol of the United States of America. And there's Nothing? No call? Nothing Zero?" he said.Earlier, an irate Trump demanded to be taken to the Capitol after his supporters had stormed the building, well aware of the deadly attack, but then returned to the White House and did nothing to call off the violence, despite appeals from family and close adviser, witnesses testified.At the Capitol, the mob was chanting "Hang Mike Pence," testified Matt Pottinger, a deputy national security adviser for Trump, as Trump tweeted his condemnation of his vice president.Meanwhile, recordings of Secret Service radio transmissions revealed agents asking for messages to be relayed telling their families goodbye.Video below: Members of VP's security detail feared for their lives as rioters entered the capitol, official saysPottinger said that when he saw Trump's tweet he immediately decided to resign, as did former White House aide Matthews, who said she was a lifelong Republican but could not go along with what was going on. She was the witness who called the tweet "pouring gasoline on the fire."The hearing aimed to show a "minute by minute" accounting of Trump's actions that day and how rather than stop the violence, he watched it all unfold on television at the White House."He refused to do what every American president must," said Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the panel's Republican vice chair."And for hours, Donald Trump chose not to answer the pleas from Congress, from his own party and from all across our nation, to do what is required," she said.Video below: Liz Cheney: Trump 'dangerous and irrational'An irate Trump demanded to be taken to the Capitol after the supporters he sent laid siege, well aware of the deadly attack and that some in the mob were armed but refusing to call it off as they fought to reverse his election defeat, witnesses told the committee.Trump had dispatched the crowd to Capitol Hill in heated rally remarks at the Ellipse behind the White House, and "within 15 minutes of leaving the stage, President Trump knew that the Capitol was besieged and under attack," said committee member Elaine Luria, D-Va.She said the panel had received testimony confirming the powerful previous account of former White House aide Hutchinson of an altercation involving Trump as he insisted the Secret Service drive him to the Capitol.Among the witnesses testifying Thursday in a recorded video was retired District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department Sgt. Mark Robinson who told the committee that Trump was well aware of the number of weapons in the crowd of his supporters but wanted to go regardless."The only description that I received was that the president was upset, and that he was adamant about going to the Capitol and that there was a heated discussion about that," Robinson said.Chairman Bennie Thompson, appearing virtually as he self-isolates with COVID-19, opened Thursday's hearing saying Trump as president did "everything in his power to overturn the election" he lost to Joe Biden, including before and during the deadly Capitol attack."He lied, he bullied, he betrayed his oath," charged Thompson, D-Miss.Video below: Rep. Bennie Thompson: Donald Trump 'could not be moved'After months of work and weeks of hearings, Cheney said "the dam has begun to break" on revealing what happened that day, at the White House as well as in the violence at the Capitol.This was probably the last hearing of the summer, but the panel said they will resume in September as more witnesses and information emerges."Our investigation goes forward," said Thompson testifying remotely as he isolates after testing positive for COVID-19. "There needs to be accountability."The hearing room was packed, including with several police officers who fought off the mob that day. The panel is arguing that the defeated president's lies about a stolen election and attempts to overturn Biden's election victory fueled the attack and have left the United States facing enduring questions about the resiliency of its democracy.Ahead of the hearing, the committee released a video of four former White House aides -- press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, security aide Gen.

Trump Played A Low-Key Role In Weekend Shutdown Negotiations
By Scott Horsley
It is the first weekday of the partial government shutdown. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill worked through the weekend, trying to find some kind of compromise to reopen the government. President Trump also stuck close to his office. He canceled plans to travel to his Mar-a-Lago resort this weekend. Instead, he stayed behind at the White House during those negotiations. For more, we're joined by White House correspondent, NPR's Scott Horsley. Hey, Scott.
SCOTT HORSLEY, BYLINE: Good morning, Rachel.
MARTIN: What do we know specifically about the role that the president played in negotiations over the weekend?
HORSLEY: Well, we know it was a low-key role. He stayed largely out of sight during the weekend. The president did spend some time on the phone with the No. 2 Republicans in the Senate and the House, John Cornyn and Kevin McCarthy. His chief of staff was on the phone with Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader. And Marc Short at the White House legislative liaison was also on Capitol Hill last evening. But there was no big, you know, White House summit where he brought all the players together to sort of knock some heads, as Chuck Schumer had suggested he do at the end of the last week. This was a case where the guy whose face is on the cover of "The Art Of The Deal" apparently left the deal making to others.
MARTIN: So we know he was on the phone. We know that because the White House tweeted out this picture of the president at his desk in the Oval Office on the phone. The president, though, was pretty quiet on Twitter, which is extraordinary. So do we imagine that this was intentional to keep the president quiet?
HORSLEY: It's always risky, I think, to try to assign strategy to the president's Twitter feed. But, you know, you heard Senator Chris Coons talk earlier in the hour about the lack of trust. And this is a case where the negotiations are in a delicate stage. You could say this shutdown happened because of a lack of trust. Ending this shutdown is going to take some trust rebuilding, and it may be that the less the president is seen, the easier that is. The White House was also busy dealing with the mechanics of the shutdown over the weekend. For example, there was a flurry of activity over getting the sports channel on Armed Forces Network restarted so that men and women in uniform around the world could watch the NFL playoffs.
MARTIN: Right. Both Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer and Republican Lindsey Graham suggested that the president has not been a reliable negotiating partner and more specifically that the president's aides have been interfering in talks, especially when it comes to immigration - Senator Graham in particular calling out White House adviser Stephen Miller. Can you explain what his role has been in all this?
HORSLEY: That's right. Miller is a policy aide and a speechwriter for the president. And he used to be an aide to now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions when Sessions was in the Senate. Sessions and Miller are both hard-liners on immigration. Graham described Miller as an outlier for years. That was certainly true back in 2013 when they torpedoed a bipartisan immigration compromise. But it may be that the center of gravity in the GOP has moved in Miller's direction.

Leaders of Tomorrow Award Given to Evaluna Smith '19 and Julia Check '20

Evaluna Smithgartner '20 (left) and Julia Check '21 (right) proudly hold up their awards.
"On your mark, get set, go!" yelled the starter firing the pistol. The twenty-fourth annual U.S. Hispanic Games were held at The Armory's New Balance Track and Field Center in Washington Heights on January 6, 2018. Being one of the most renowned meets of the PSAL Indoor Track & Field season with thousands of high school athletes in attendance, it was an incredible feat for two of the eleven competing Bronx Science students, Julia Check '20 and Evaluna Smithgartner '19, to receive the Leader of Tomorrow Award for demonstrating academic excellence in school and leading their community.
"When I got this award, I was beyond excited."
As a junior, Smithgartner has been part of the Outdoor Track and Field Team for a year and the Indoor Track Team for the past three years. Being a recipient for this award motivated her to strive harder and to lead her community.
"When I got this award, I was beyond excited. I knew that my coach had nominated me, but I wasn't expecting to receive it," she said. "I was especially happy because my teammate Julia also received the award, and we were both so happy to have an opportunity to be recognized by the Armory track," Smithgartner said.
Check has always been an active member in both her community and in athletics. She is constantly practicing and running both inside and outside of school to improve her times as well as spreading positivity throughout her team.
"I felt very honored to receive this award, and I think it is very important to recognize those who are always positively contributing to their teams," Check said. After being recognized by her coach and the armory, Check wants to maintain her positive outlook for the team.
Both Check and Smithgartner believe that being on the track team has been one of the most unforgettable experiences in their time at Bronx Science. The recognition that they gained from receiving this award proved that all the work and effort they put into attending practice every day and endless competitions was worth it.
"I come to practice basically every time we have it, and I have made friends with people in many different grades on the team, so track has been a very positive experience for me," Check said. The team always has had a familial bond that encourages them to cheer each other on and motivate one another to work harder in order to improve their individual times.
Both athletes have high expectations for themselves for the current Spring 2018 Track & Field season. They wish to continue to work hard both in school and for their community.
"I hope to continue to lead my community and be successful in my future endeavors," said Smithgartner.


Party décor by Italian Center of Stamford.
If you haven't decided between a casual, activity-focused affair, and a refined, elegant event for your child's bat mitzvah, consider a venue that offers both. Speak with one of the coordinators at the Italian Center in Stamford and they can help you decide. It is, after all, Fairfield County's premier banquet facility.
The Italian Center, made up of 28-private acres of manicured grounds, offers you the choice of an outdoor or indoor event. The Center has you covered, whichever way you lean. You can rest assured that you're in good hands with the this facility that has been operating since 1909.
There is a tented picnic area for outdoor events with many amenities including a swimming pool, softball field, and volleyball, tennis, and bocce courts. If your child's birthday lands in the summer, this may be a good option.
A grand ballroom serves for indoor events and seats up to 600 guests. It makes for a fantasy-like setting for any bat mitzvah with its grand architecture and customizable decor.
The staff is also happy to provide referrals for bands, DJs, and entertainers, if needed, but parents are welcome to use outside vendors for entertainment. If you're going with a kosher menu, you can use an offsite caterer, with certain restrictions.
One of the benefits of using the Italian Center as the venue for your child's bar mitzvah is that you can supply your own alcohol. A bartender is provided and distributors can be recommended. Either way, you incur a huge savings because there's no mark up and you can return unopened bottles, resulting in huge savings.
Choose from various delicious food menus at every price point. Choices include butler-passed hors d'oeuvres. Thinking of going casual? The Center offers a young person's buffet service that includes a taco bar, burgers, pizza, chicken fingers, fries, and more.
If you haven't decided on the cake yet, the Italian Center can also help with that. It offers a custom-made Torah cake and ice cream bars.
The Center's friendly and knowledgeable staff is ready and able to help you decide on what your best options are.


Your thermostat is a huge factor in how much you're paying on your utility bills. Merely programming your thermostat for periods when you're sleeping or away can make a big impact without harming your comfort levels. Depending on the model of your thermostat, you can do a whole lot more to make an even bigger impact.
At PWA Heating & Cooling Inc, we've got a selection of programmable thermostats to meet your needs—from the most basic models to the most modern learning thermostats. How can you know what is best for your space? First, research the difference between basic programmable thermostats and advanced learning models. Either of these can help you save energy and money, but you'll need to select which features are most important to you.
All programmable thermostats will allow you to schedule your days to control temperatures when you're usually there and not at home. Depending on the model you select, you could be able to record one schedule, which you may end up overriding on weekends or other days you're home. Some models will let you program your weekdays on one schedule and your weekends on a different one. You'll also want to review the number of periods you can set up during the day. For instance, will you want the temps different when you sleep, when you wake up, when you're at work and when you are home in the evening? Be sure the thermostat you pick can accommodate your needs.
For some people, being able to arrange a regular schedule (or two) and override it when needed is plenty. But if you want additional flexibility, it's probably time to consider a smart thermostat. A smart thermostat will let you completely customize a heating and cooling schedule for every day of the week.
Smart thermostats don't just add more flexibility, but they're also Wi-Fi enabled so you can manage your home's temperature no matter where you are. Some types of smart thermostats take innovation even further—these are called "learning thermostats." Learning thermostats do everything a regular smart thermostat can do, but they can also learn from your behaviors and adjust your heating and cooling schedules based on your actual daily activity. Some models don't even need to be programmed—you just turn them on and give them time to figure everything out on their own over the span of a few days.
So, no matter what your heating and cooling desires are, PWA Heating & Cooling Inc will help you find the most appropriate thermostat for your home and budget. You'll end up with ultimate home comfort with potential energy savings. Give us a call at 815-410-1231 to find out more, or arrange an appointment with us online.

No matter how persistent your painful patterns in love have been, you have the power to manifest ecstatically happy, healthy, wholehearted love!
But what if I told you that you are—in this very moment—on the precipice of having a radical breakthrough to love?
I've had the honor and privilege of teaching many smart, successful, creative, bright and competent people—people who, like yourself, are conscious, caring individuals who have done impressive and meaningful things with their lives—yet who were initially confused as to why finding love had been so challenging for them.
That's because nearly all of them viewed their failed relationships (or lack of a relationship) as something completely outside of their control. They'd tried many things to improve their luck in love—dating sites, matchmakers, blind dates or singles events. They'd even tried not trying!
Pretending they no longer cared, secretly hoping that by letting go, love would somehow manage to find them.
That is, until they began to understand—through my trusted, 49-day Calling In "The One" process—how they, themselves, were unconsciously getting in their own way and covertly sabotaging their chances for success in love.
You see, most of the time when people are struggling to find love . . . there's a story (or stories) that we tell ourselves.
If this sounds familiar, I want you to know, you're not alone.
Nearly all of the people I've worked with to successfully manifest deep happiness in love, at first, viewed their failed relationships (or lack of a relationship) as something completely outside of their control.
Once they learned to identify and release their internal baggage, blocks and barriers to love, they were amazed at how quickly and dramatically their love lives transformed.
I've been deeply moved by the extraordinary breakthroughs and heartwarming success stories of miracles I've witnessed over the years—often by those who had the least amount of faith this process would work for them. And I'd love for you to be a Calling In "The One" success story, too.
And if it seems like examining your "junk" and making these shifts might be scary or hard, I want you to know that it actually feels AMAZING because it's what finally liberates you from your story and allows you to move into a place of peace and absolute possibility in your life.
To now get you started on your journey to deep happiness in love, I've created the Calling In "The One" Starter Kit. It's completely free, and you can start using it today.
This simple Starter Kit will support you as you begin to see how your disappointing patterns in love have been happening through you rather than just to you—and also begin to awaken your power to create an unprecedented future of happiness in love.
A Calling in "The One" Visioning Meditation that you can work with daily to help clarify your desires and make you magnetic to their fulfillment.
A podcast interview – where I explain exactly how to start shifting your core "love identity" beliefs and awaken your power to radically transform your love life for the better.
Simply fill in the simple form on this page. Then watch your inbox for your Calling In "The One" Starter Kit, which will be sent immediately.

'Scream' Hitting Loud Pitch With $36M 4-Day, 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Surging Past 'Black Panther' – Sunday AM Update
'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Roars To $932M+ Global; 'Incredibles 2' Nears $650M WW – International Box Office

'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Tops $1.6B WW & Becomes Biggest Movie Ever In Mexico; 'Scream' Shouts With $49M Global Bow – International Box Office
UPDATE, WRITETHRU: Make it four in a row for Universal Pictures/Amblin Entertainment's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and its dino-might atop the international box office. In 68 markets, the JA Bayona-helmed sequel grossed $56.1M this weekend to take the overseas cume to $667.6M. That lifts the global gobble to $932.4M with the $1B milestone in stomping distance.
JWFK saw an overall 50% offshore drop in the 4th session, and in several markets is seeing similar or stronger holds compared to 2015's Jurassic World — folks just love dinosaurs, and international rollout on the classic franchise's latest entry was set across a prime piece of the calendar's real estate.
While it won't (and wasn't expected to) beat the previous film overall, JWFK in its 3rd China weekend grossed $15M to bring the Middle Kingdom total to $237.1M — topping JW's take. However, T-Rex stepped into the No. 2 position for the frame there, making way for local pic Animal World, an eccentric Manga adaptation that co-stars Michael Douglas and is coming in No. 1.
'Death On The Nile' To Set Sail For China In Close Step With Start Of Global Rollout
Local movies will take over China as the July blackout gets into full swing, but this won't preclude JWFK from crossing $1B worldwide. When it does, it will be the 3rd movie of the year to hit the milestone and the first non-Disney title.
Speaking of Disney, in a repeat of the past three weekends, Pixar's Incredibles 2 is the No. 2 movie internationally as it continues a staggered summer rollout. The long-anticipated sequel had a $44.3M session in 36 markets for an overseas total of $207.1M — that's before the superhero family lands in many of the majors. It also passed $600M global with $646.8M to see the Brad Bird-helmed return leap over the original's $633M worldwide.
Elsewhere, there were a handful of new entries at the international box office this session. They include Sicario: Day Of The Soldado which bagged $8.4M in 55 Sony and Lionsgate markets; Sony's Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation which flew into Australia, taking advantage of the start of school holidays to get a jump on rollout and landing ahead of the 2015 pic; and in India, Fox Star scored its 2nd best opening ever with Sanjay Dutt biopic Sanju at $21.6M.
Warner Bros/Village Roadshow's Ocean's 8, meanwhile, crossed $200M worldwide and is closing in on $100M offshore.
Next weekend sees Disney/Marvel's Ant-Man And The Wasp begin to buzz around the globe with a wide release outside of the European majors which come post World Cup, and sans China where it's expected in late August.
In the meantime, breakdowns on the films above and more have been updated below.
The follow-up to Denis Villeneuve's gritty 2015 Mexico-set action thriller is being released overseas by a combination of Sony and Lionsgate. The former released in 13 markets including Latin America and Spain for $2.2M on 1,800+ screens this session. In those hubs, the sequel is tracking 14% higher than the previous film at current rates.
Directed by Gomorrah's Stefano Sollima, Soldado went out via Lionsgate partners in 42 markets for $6.2M. That takes the international total to a combined $8.4M at open.
Korea was a highlight with $1.2M, a 224% rise over the first movie. Australia/New Zealand and the UK debuted to an estimated $976K and $944K, respectively.
There are several majors to come on the movie that is again scripted by Taylor Sheridan. In Josh Brolin's latest summer entry, he returns as CIA operative Matt Graver alongside Benicio Del Toro as the mysterious lawyer-turned-assassin Alejandro. The story moves from an emphasis on battling drug trafficking to human trafficking as Mexican cartels are exporting terrorists across the border.
The previous film's top plays were the UK, Australia, France, Germany and Mexico. It had debuted during the Cannes Film Festival and was rolled out in the fall; this time it's looking to act as counterprogramming for adults during a blockbuster popcorn/World Cup summer.
The return of Sony's Drac Pack began its offshore release this weekend in Australia to take advantage of the start of school holidays. The animated threequel nabbed $1.9M on 397 screens there, including previews, to bite off a start that's 5% ahead of the previous title. This is an early release ahead of expanded rollout in two weeks including Brazil, Mexico, Russia and Spain.
Sony staged a global push for HT3 — again directed by Genndy Tartakovsky and with Adam Sandler atop the voice cast — when it sailed onto the Hotel Carlton's dock a day ahead of the Cannes Film Festival. This followed similar pre-fest stunts for Angry Brids and The Emoji Movie, making smart use of a day when the world's entertainment media is a hungry, captive audience.
The previous HT movies have been winners for Sony Pictures Animation, increasing domestically and internationally. Both were released in the fall, so this is the first summer tryout. HT2 finaled at $303.5M overseas in 2015 with the UK leading, followed by Venezuela, Mexico, China and Russia. Combined, the prior two movies have made $831.6M worldwide.
This time around, the monster family boards a cruise ship where Drac begins to fall for mysterious Captain Ericka, but little do they know she's a descendant of Abraham Van Helsing, ancient nemesis to Dracula and all other monsters.
HOLDOVERS/EXPANSIONS
Universal/Amblin's return to Isla Nublar was the No. 1 movie internationally again this weekend, a fourth session in a row that points to the world's love for dinosaurs — and the film's smart placement on the calendar. It began overseas rollout ahead of the World Cup and has played through as the dominant force at offshore turnstiles with no major challenge in its path.
Given the pent-up anticipation for the previous film, this one was not expected to match its numbers, and it isn't going to. But T Rex can clap his claws as he will pass the $1B mark worldwide likely next weekend, and that will make his the 3rd movie of the year to hit the milestone, and the first non-Disney title.
The current frame was down 50% from last, with $56.1M in 68 markets. The international total is $667.6M for $932.4M global. Japan is still to open on July 13.
Most holds were similar to or above the 2015 dino-naut, including in China which has topped that movie at $237.1M to date. While it will begin to slink down the chart there as the July blackout curtain falls, it's the No. 5 movie of 2018 in the market and the No. 2 from Hollywood.
No. 1 holds included Mexico, Australia, the UK, Germany, France, Argentina, Peru, Spain, Colombia and Chile.
In the Top 5 market are China ($237.1M), Korea ($4M), the UK ($46M), Mexico ($24M) and France ($23M).
Disney/Pixar's sequel has leapt over $600M globally, fueled by a $439.7M domestic total to date, and $207.1M internationally on what is a staggered release throughout the summer. The worldwide cume is $646.8M to top the previous 2004 movie's $633M.
In its 3rd offshore session, the Brad Bird-helmed superhero family grossed $44.3M in 36 material markets which rep 51% of the international footprint. Among the markets still to come are the UK, Korea, Japan, Spain, Italy and Germany.
This weekend saw a strong opening in Brazil with $6.5M at No. 1 and the 2nd best animated launch ever, narrowly behind Despicable Me 3. School vacations start there this week, setting up the Incredibles for a good run in a hub that embraces family and superheroes. Excluding Brazil, the drop across Latin America was 30%.
In Taiwan, I2 took $3.2M for the 2nd best animated start, behind Minions this time. Across Asia, the movie was No. 1 for the 3rd frame in a row in Indonesia and the Philippines. Now playing in India for just two sessions, Incredibles 2 is the highest grossing animated release of all time ($5.9M)
China, where the movie had a healthy start last weekend, dropped by 52%. It's grossed $40.8M in 10 days, topping Finding Dory, but not finding the kind of success that Coco saw last year.
In Europe, there were No. 1 bows as schools let out in Belgium, the Netherlands and Portugal. Otherwise, it has not yet hit the majors there.
The Top 5 markets to date are China ($40.8M), Mexico ($30.1M), Australia ($19.2M), Russia ($13.1M) and Argentina ($8.6M).
Warner Bros Pictures
Warner Bros/Village Roadshow's jewel heist pic has crossed $200M at the worldwide box office and is closing in on $100M internationally. The female-fronted counterprogrammer hit the back of the net this weekend with another $13.8M in 62 markets on roughly 8,854 screens. The drop was just 46% overall. The ladies are counting $95M in offshore diamonds and $209.7M global.
In its major 2nd weekend outings, the UK, Russia and Germany all held the No. 2 slot. Sweden and Finland each opened to No. 1 with the latter's $316K besting the rest of the franchise.
The Top 5 hubs to date are Australia ($11.3M), Korea ($10.4M), the UK ($9M), Mexico ($6.1M) and Brazil ($4.9M). Spain releases this week with Italy later this month and Japan in August.
Disney/Lucasfilm's scruffed up Solo: A Star Wars Story finally landed in Japan this weekend. It was the No. 1 Hollywood movie for the weekend there, ousting Deadpool 2 which had reigned supreme for four frames. The 3-day cume is $5.9M. Japan is slow-burn, has no piracy and loves Star Wars. Unfortunately, the bad rap Solo's gotten elsewhere, despite being enjoyed by many who gave it a chance, isn't likely to do young Han any favors.
The full overseas session was $6.1M in 24 markets. The international cume is now $161.6M for $368.9M global.
Warner Bros' comedy about old friends who play a never-ending game of tag said "you're it" this session in Russia and the UK. The movie is currently in 37 markets and has taken $7.4M to date, including $3.7M this frame, its best so far. Russia gave it a $1.1M start on 1,577 screens to top most comps including Blockers (+67%) and Date Night (+69%), but slightly behind Game Night. The UK bowed at No. 4 with $584K on 495 screens. There are more hubs to come throughout the rest of the summer and September. The global cume is $48.3M on the reported $28M budget pic.

LOCAL-LANGUAGE
China's Animal World, which has a 7.5 on Douban, is an adaptation of the Japanese Manga Ultimate Survivor Kaiji and is directed by Han Yan. His Go Away, Mr Tumor was a critically-praised hit with over $80M at home in 2015. Here Han enlists Michael Douglas as villian in the story that involves a high-stakes game of rock, paper, scissors; a cruise ship named Destiny; and a badass Super Clown. The off-the-wall pic grabbed a comScore estimated $34.6M in its opening in 7 markets, although local reports put it higher in China at $37.7M. This is the first major entry into the July blackout and was No. 1 for the weekend.
Monkey Pictures
But also in China, Dying To Survive is one to watch. It's high on Chinese minds and could have breakout potential after Sunday previews of $7.6M. A black comedy headlined by Xu Zheng, it's directed by up and coming talent Wen Muye and loosely based on the true story of a Chinese leukemia patient who smuggled unapproved drugs from India to get affordably-priced medicine for himself and 1,000 others. The official release is July 6.
Fox Star's Sanju, a biopic of controversial star Sanjay Dutt, opened in India and the UK this weekend, scoring $22.2M. In India, the film starring Ranbir Kapoor was No. 1 and is Fox Star's 2nd biggest bow ever at $21.6M. Anticipation was great for the latest from PK director Rajkumar Hirani with over 53M YouTube views on the trailer released May 30. Hailing from a family of cinema legends, Dutt became a film star, and then saw dizzying heights and darkest depths including battles with various addictions, brushes with the underworld, prison terms, loss of loved ones, and the haunting speculation that he might or might not be a terrorist. Per comScore, Sanju was the No. 4 title internationally in the session, behind JFWK, Incredibles 2 and Animal World.
Warner Bros released The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion in Korea, a mystery action title that landed No. 1 with $7.3M on 1,090 screens. From director Park Hoon-jung, the story follows a young girl who escapes from a government facility and is taken in by an old couple, although she has no memory of her past. Fast-forward 10 years and her appearance on a nationally televised audition program sees strange sorts start to appear in her life. The weekend results are ahead of Korean title comps New World, VIP and The Villainess.

Last Week: Nailed It! – Friday, Saturday and Sunday were pretty much right on. Saturday a small thermal did develop, but it didn't last and was barely enough to ride for a bit in the afternoon.
Saturday: Light and variable winds. Mostly cloudy so not much chance for thermal activity either.
Sunday: Light SE to S winds with a chance of rain and mostly cloudy. Doesn't look very promising for wind, even at the points.
Well, not the greatest looking forecast for wind this weekend. At least the water is warming back up after it really had a major cool down last weekend.
Dawn patrol session this past week. Got off the water just before a small storm rolled in. Good wind though while we were out.
