Main Line Today selects West Chester's "Best Of"
West Chester PA -- In the July issue of Main Line Today magazine, 13 downtown businesses were recognized as the Best of. Congratulations to each of them.
"Carlino's unparalleled inventory includes deli meats, sausages, crusty breads, oil-cured olives, dried figs, sun-dried tomatoes, handmade pasta, sauces, over 40 olive oils and balsamic vinegars, sweets, and more. Take away house-made meals, or easily assemble your own. Catering is also available."
"Even as it continues to expand, Iron Hill has maintained an impressive consistence in food and service. Brewers at each location are free to focus on their favorites, which regularly leads to awards and a few pleasant surprises to keep things interesting."
"This unassumingly romantic family-owned BYOB dabbles in a delectable, though hardy eccentric, mix of Lebanese and Italian cuisines. Menu highlights include shrimp scampi, a beef kabob platter, and linguine with meat sauce. And don't even think about passing up the baklava."
"From chocolate-roasted stouts to happy IPA's, you'll always find a new beer to love at this downtown staple. The cosmopolitans are note-worthy, as are the $3 craft beers during happy hour."
"At Roots' new location, dinner is prepared three nights a week, based on what's available from CSA shares. Delicious, locally sourced dishes include a deviled-egg trio, chorizo meatballs, and smoked-trout carbonara."
"This hip new meeting spot serves smoothies, freshly squeezed juices, and hearty breakfast fare like quinoa porridge and house-made granola. There's even a walk-up window. Try the signature Baco Juice – orange and carrot juices with ginger."
"Already known for its killer margaritas and a pulsing roof deck, Mas has turned its focus on the food in recent months. The result is its new "Mexicali Fresh" concept, embodied in mixed taco trays that are perfect for sharing (or a big appetite). We've overindulged in the traditional shredded chicken – so juicy it's downright sloppy – and the battered cod topped with Baja slaw."
"Whether you want 'em "Noisy" (with Doc's cocktail sauce and Blue Point Lager), on the half shell (with cocktail sauce and mignonette) or shooter style (in a shot glass with cocktail sauce and vodka), Doc's has the remedy."
"Simmered for hours, Kooma's house-made broth is loaded with rice noodles, scallions and onions, and your choice of eye-of-round, meatballs, brisket or chicken. Experiment with a side plate of Asian basil, bean sprouts, cilantro, jalapeños and lime wedges, plus hoisin, Sriracha and chili sauces. Veggie options are also available."
"Let's face it: your wedding gown is just one of several dresses you'll need for that buildup to the big day. Then there are the engagement photos, the bridal shower, the rehearsal dinner, the honeymoon … No worries. Tish has you covered."
"This all-natural apothecary is all about creating signature scents from essential oils mixed on-site. The homemade soaps are equally intoxicating, with ingredients such as seaweed, cucumber and organic tea-tree oil."
"With so many artisanal regions represented—from Modena, Italy's smooth balsamic, to the spicy oils of Málaga, Spain – sampling is encouraged at A Taste of Olive. You'll also find seasoned sea salts, rubs and specialty foods."
"Long for a place where you can still compare notes with a workout buddy? Enter Mitch's, with its neighborly vibe and high-tech equipment laid out on factory floors. Its dedicated staff includes university graduates trained in strength development, weight loss and body toning."


Ginsburg's description of the function and nature of judges is a textbook litany of the reasons why so many misguided Americans oppose questioning judicial candidates on their positions regarding the critical issues of our day. However, questioning would-be judges is not only our option as Americans, it is our obligation, as we discussed in our last Court Watch briefing. Indeed, Reconstructionists themselves have created the need for such questions because Reconstructionists have attacked our Constitution and our culture and made the courts a white-hot center in America's culture war.
We now focus on examining the "justifications" for insulating judicial candidates from meaningful questioning of their constitutional and general philosophical positions. When we explode Ginsburg's two mythical assertions about judges' functions and nature, we undermine the larger argument that judicial candidates must not be questioned about their philosophies affecting their views of "disputed legal or political issues" of our day.
[The U. S. Supreme Court as an institution] can no longer be described with any accuracy as a court, in the customary sense. Unlike a court, its primary function is not judicial but legislative. It is a governing body in the sense that it makes the basic policy decisions of the nation, administers and executes the directions it chooses in political, social and ethical matters. It has become the major societal agency for reform.
Justice Ginsburg greatly exaggerates the difference between judicial and legislative elections. . . . This complete separation of the judiciary from the enterprise of 'representative government' might have some truth in those countries where judges neither make law themselves nor set aside the laws enacted by the legislature. It is not a true picture of the American system.
Justice Ginsberg's second erroneous assertion concerns the nature of judges: "Judges . . . are not political actors." This "fact," explains Ginsburg, has several dimensions. One is that judges "are expected to refrain from catering to particular constituencies"; "They do not sit as representatives of particular persons, communities, or parties; they serve no faction or constituency." That such forceful advocacy for judicial independence comes from the Justice who is arguably the most left-wing, Reconstructionist member of the Court is typical of the hypocritical irony of Reconstructionist tactics. Ginsburg's record of pandering to feminists, abortionists, homosexual rights proponents and other radically Humanist forces is glaringly clear.
Furthermore, judicial candidates who express their philosophies on critical constitutional and philosophical issues are not ipso facto "catering to particular constituencies." Of course, there are "groups, factions, and constituencies" who will hold the same philosophies as the judicial candidate-this is inevitable. Indeed, this clash over values is at the heart of any "political system." As pre-eminent political scientist David Easton established half a century ago, a "political system" is "those interactions through which values are authoritatively allocated for a society; this is what distinguishes a political system from other systems that may be interpreted as lying in its environment." The very essence of "government" is an inevitable governmental act — choosing of one set of values over another. Judges cannot avoid this choice, and their choices do not automatically constitute "catering to particular constituencies."
Justice Ginsburg's disingenuous attempt to shield judicial candidates from questions regarding their constitutional and general philosophical views and values fails. Her contention that judicial candidates should not be questioned as are other candidates such as legislators because "judging" and "legislating" are fundamentally different is spurious. "Judging" and "legislating" should be fundamentally different but are not in America today, primarily because of judicial usurpation of legislative powers. Americans must know, therefore, where their judges-turned-legislators stand on critical issues before judicial candidates are placed on the bench. Second, her argument that judges should not be questioned because they are not "political actors" rests on a fatally flawed definition of the "political." Deliberately representing particular constituencies, interests, etc. (Ginsburg's definition) may be "political" and avoidable for judicial candidates. But a judicial candidate's espousing views and values concerning the critical issues of our day is not automatically being "political," and is unavoidable.
Selecting judges committed to interpret the Constitution according to its original meaning is the way to reverse judicial legislating and political judging. Finding such judges requires that we ask tough, vigorous questions of judicial candidates. Justice Ginsburg is wrong (as usual): we Americans do have the right to know about our judges and what they really do and think — to know the "truth in judging," as described by Dean Forrester thirty years ago.

What's the condition of your classic car? Know your rating number
At a car show you may overhear somebody describing a vehicle as a "90 point car." Perhaps a collectable car ad in Hemmings says the vehicle is "Condition 5". E-Bay Motors may have a car listed as "Category 3". If you are confused, you're beginning to understand the complexity of classic car rating systems.
The two common rating systems for car collectors are the 100 point scale and the 6 category rating system. In the 100 point system, 100 is a perfect car, decreasing in points for lesser condition cars. The 6 point system goes in the opposite direction with 1 being near perfect and 6 being something you would probably mentally assess how strong your marriage is before dragging it home. I recently reviewed rating descriptions from Old Car Price Guide, NADA Collector Car Prices, Auto Trader Classics, E-Bay Motors and even Wikipedia. The numbers used as cutpoints to go from one category to another isn't consistent between sources, neither are the terms to describe catagories. "Condition" and "category" are used by different entities but mean the same thing. Pulling from all of these sources, I'll attempt to add a little clarity to both the 6 category/condition and the 100 point rating systems.
Condition 1, 90+ points : Excellent
A car in this category rarely moves. It sits in a museum or a temperature and humidity controlled 'garage.' When it does move, it goes into an enclosed trailer to a national car show, where it has a good chance of taking 1st place. Vehicles in this catagory are trailer queens and have the trophies to prove it. Unless you attend national car shows, you probably haven't seen that many Category 1 cars.
Condition 2, 80+ points: Fine
This is a near flawless car. Only a trained, experienced and somewhat anal judge can tell you what's wrong with this car, with most of us mistaking it for a Category 1. NADA Special Interest Price Guide uses the term "High Class" when rating a car in condition 1 or 2.
Condition 3, 70+ points: Very Good
This is still a show quality vehicle, perhaps an original car with minimal wear or an older professional restoration. This is the car most hobbyist collectors own. It's not perfect but it's close enought for the car enthusiasts and owner. It might have some non-original parts and upgrades but nothing that would keep it from being a #2 with some time and money invested.
Condition 4, 60+ points: Good
This is either a good amateur restoration or a seldom used, well-preserved but unrestored car, often the stereotypical car "owned by little old lady that only drove it to church on Sundays." The body will have some imperfections, noticeable on a walk around. Most of us would describe it as "a nice old car" that drives and looks nice, while recognizing it's not perfect with minor mechanical and cosmetic flaws. It might have a little rust on it ("little" as in Western car rust, not Midwest or East Coast rust!). The upholstery may show some signs of wear and age. This is a "20 foot car", looking good from 20 feet away! Most special interest cars sold on E-Bay are in this category. Out of all of these categories, the most likely cost-effective expenditure of both time and money is moving a #4 car to a #3 car.
Condition 5, 50+ points: Driver
This is a functioning car in fair condition that you could use as a daily driver. It's flawed but nothing that can't be fixed, which you will be doing on a routine basis. It's got potential and it's not too far gone. You'd never leave home in it without your cell phone, jumper cables and tool kit. If someone else were to drive it, you would need to explain its quirks in order for them to start and use it.
Condition 5, 40+ points: Restorable
This car is more or less complete but most everything needs redone, including major mechanicals, body and interior. If it does happen to run, you wouldn't risk going very far in it. It needs a complete body off restoration. If I were considering buying a car in this condition, I would first let my wife see it and only after first buying her a new piece of jewelry. Think of the ads that read "$30,000 invested, will sacrifice for $15,000". Most cases where somebody gets "upside-down" in a car, they started with a restorable Category 5 car and spent more restoring it than they can possibly get out of it. Without the talent to do a lot of the work yourself, buying a car in this category is a risk, unless you're not worried about spending more on it than it's worth at the end.
Condition 6, 39 and fewer points: Partial car
Think of your last trip to the junkyard to get a mental image of cars in this category. As the name implies, only part of the car is there. The best use of this condition vehicle is to help restore another one like it that is more complete. Only rat rodders and other far-out but talented do-it yourselfers would look at a car in this category and envision it ever being back on the road again.
sub-Condition 6, 20 points or less: Parts down to Shell
This catagory ranges from a parts car with some remaining useful parts, down to the hulk that has been picked completely clean. Remaining sheet metal left may be wrecked or pretty much rusted away. Car guys may even have a hard time telling what make and year it is. Only metal recyclers and car people that identify with Big Daddy Roth creatures can visualize what could be done with these remains. A tree may be growing from it's engine compartment.
A professional appraisal of your classic car will help zero in on your car's correct rating, which I'll be covering more in a future articles.

RIP Dwight Clark
I'm heartbroken to tell you that today I lost my best friend and husband. He passed peacefully surrounded by many of the people he loved most. I am thankful for all of Dwight's friends, teammates and 49ers fans who have sent their love during his battle with ALS. Kelly Clark.
— Dwight Clark (@DwightC87) June 4, 2018
One of the most memorable plays in @NFLHistory.
The Catch.
Rest In Peace, Dwight Clark. pic.twitter.com/BhVwwv1xYR

Dwight Clark; the man who made The Catch is dead at the age 61 after a battle with ALS.
It doesn't seem like too long that we found out the former 49er WR was battling this horrid disease. That's because it wasn't that long ago. Clark publicly announced his diagnosis in March of 2017. A little over a year later he's gone. Although he did first begin to show symptoms in late 2015 according to yahoo. That's how quick this can happen. It's amazing to see people like Steve Gleason battle this disease for over a decade. There are countless more people afflicted by this disease but he's one of my personal heroes from how he's attacked ALS. I feel Dwight Clark's family, I'm sure they're very sad but at the same time in some sort of peace. Nobody wants to see a loved one suffer like how this disease makes you suffer, I'm glad he's out of pain now but it's just a really sad situation, only 61 years old.
What else can really be said? ALS bums me the fuck out. Of all the diseases it is my least favorite and nobody I personally know has ever been affected by it. It breaks my heart whenever I hear about it. Seeing a man who made one of the most important catches in NFL history be stripped of his ability to move or speak and just have to helplessly take it is tragic, nobody should have to go through that.
Last season against the Cowboys the 49ers had a Dwight Clark Day where the fans and former players got to collectively say goodbye. One of the more touching forgotten moments from last season.
Rest In Peace Dwight Clark.
January 8th, 1957-June 4th, 2018.
Love you bro Dwight Clark!! RIP

Really saddened by the loss of Dwight Clark. He was so much more than a football player. He was so kind and happy. Such a pure human spirit. Our hearts are with his family.

HomeWorld NewsUnited States NewsWall Street CEOs funding China's military and human rights abuses. Here's why
Wall Street CEOs funding China's military and human rights abuses. Here's why
Wall Street wants everyone to think they care about socially and morally responsible investing. They hope the latest "ESG" craze – which stands for Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) – will fool lawmakers and the American people into believing that they care more about responsible investing than greedily making a profit.
There's just one problem: It's a farce.
If Wall Street really cared about "ESG," they wouldn't turn a blind eye to China's human rights abuses, genocide, and military aggression – just to make a profit.
Two of the biggest culprits are BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon. Their two Wall Street firms publicly advertise "sustainable investing" efforts. And in recent years, they've revamped billions of dollars in investments into ESG funds. According to Morningstar, the value of these ESG funds has increased to nearly $300 billion since 2017.
Also read: U.S 'Actively' Working On Brittney Griner, Paul Whelan Release From Russia #U.S
In complete contrast to their public ESG rhetoric, however, BlackRock recommended last year that investors triple their investment in China because it "represents a significant opportunity to help meet the long-term goals of investors in China." In other words, BlackRock is willing to help the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) meet its goals in exchange for profit.
It's time for Congress and the American people to see this charade for what it really is – funneling money to the CCP. That enables China to build a more modern, lethal military to threaten Taiwan, undermine U.S. national security, and subvert efforts for America to reduce its dependence on Chinese supply chains.
BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has invested billions in China. And JPMorgan alone holds an estimated $20 billion worth of investments in China. However, the American people would certainly be disturbed to learn that many of these investment products are actually funneling U.S. investment to companies helping Beijing modernize its military.
For example, CSSC Holdings Ltd. (CSSC) – China's largest builder of naval vessels – is listed in several major investment indices that contain literally trillions of dollars of assets. In fact, Beijing's efforts to raise funds through capital markets have greatly benefited CSSC. The shipbuilding giant was able to raise $8.63 billion from debt markets by 2015 and has now launched China's new warship – the "Fujian" aircraft carrier – intended to rival America's largest and most advanced aircraft carrier.

Much of this came to light during a recent congressional hearing. Dimon was specifically asked about his firm's ties to China and what JPMorgan would do if China invaded Taiwan. Dimon and other CEOs eventually acknowledged that their companies would do as the U.S. government instructed if China attacked Taiwan – even if that meant halting business with Beijing.
The question, however, is why these firms would even want to do business with an authoritarian regime that has expressed an intention to invade Taiwan. And if that's not troubling enough, China also continues to use slave labor in the Xinjiang region of Western China. In fact, it's estimated that more than 80,000 ethnic Uyghurs were transferred out of Xinjiang to forced labor in factories across China between 2017 and 2019 alone.
Despite pressure from the Chinese government not to publish it, the United Nations recently released a report on China's well-documented human rights abuses, including physical and mental torture, slave labor, rape, and forced sterilization. These crimes against humanity were a key focus of the recent congressional hearing with Wall Street CEOs. However, when pressed to condemn China's human rights abuses, Jane Fraser, CEO of Citigroup, simply admitted to being "distressed" by China's actions, saying that condemn "is a very strong word."
The bottom line here is profit. Wall Street's pursuit of the short-term gain comes at the expense of America's future security. Congress should immediately require transparency and disclosure from index providers and fund managers – and prohibit sanctioned and bad-actor Chinese companies from being included in investment products such as Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and mutual funds.
Also read: Idaho Murders: Major Rumors Police Have Swatted Down
Tens of millions of American retail investors hold the stocks and bonds of thousands of Chinese companies, primarily in ETFs and mutual funds. These include companies that have been sanctioned by the U.S. government for egregious human rights abuses and national security concerns, as well as companies that are aiding and abetting genocide, trafficking in slave labor, equipping concentration camps in Xinjiang, militarizing illegal islands in the South China Sea, constructing aircraft carriers, developing hypersonic glide vehicles, and manufacturing other advanced weapons systems for China's military.
This massive investment is actively aiding the CCP's efforts to undermine our nation. Putting a stop to this is common sense. Wall Street's self-serving profit motive should no longer jeopardize America's national security.

Former Germantown Cricket Club regular Greg Park extended his Graham Company Cup title record with his fifth on St. Patrick's Day, after rekindling a partnership with John Russell for their second event this season.
Having spent two seasons together nearly seven years ago, Russell & Park reunited ahead of the David C. Johnson Jr. Memorial last month. In Brooklyn, Russell & Park put together a successful semifinal run as the three seeds.
In Philadelphia, Russell & Park once again entered the draw as the three seeds, but this time went one better. Like Brooklyn, Russell & Park opened up their tournament with a difficult five-setter, holding off a comeback from Adam Bews & Hamed Anvari 15-13, 15-7, 7-15, 3-15, 15-10. Russell & Park then edged two seeds Robin Clark & Scott Alexander in a close semifinal 15-13, 15-13, 13-15, 15-12.
The top half of the draw saw Canadian four seeds Will Mariani & Thomas Brinkman upset top seeds Bernardo Samper & Chris Callis–the new world No. 1 this month–15-9 in the fifth to reach the final.
In the final, the SDA veterans pulled through to clinch the title 15-10, 15-9, 8-15, 15-12.
While Russell adds his name to the Graham Company Cup winners list for the first time, Park marks his fifth, following up his 2014 title with Jonny Smith, 2012 and 2010 titles with Imran Khan and 2007 title with Shane Coleman. Coleman is second on the winners list having won three titles from 2004-2007.
Russell's second title of the season came just days before his fortieth birthday on Wednesday, March 20.
The Graham Company Cup may be the end of his established SDA Pro Tour career, Park admits. At thirty-six years old, Park–the 2012 and 2013 U.S. National Doubles champion and 2011 ISDA Rookie of the Year–played eight events this season.

Malta Sport For All new Full member of the IFSC federation
The XVI Plenary Assembly of the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) opened today with a video message from International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach. In his message, the IOC President congratulated the IFSC and its delegates for overcoming the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and their ability to organise a virtual congress. "We have seen over the past weeks and months that whether in sport or in life, we are always stronger together. This is why we are happy to have such reliable partners, like the IFSC, at our side," Bach told the more than 60 National Federations gathered virtually for the annual congress.
IOC President Thomas Bach addressed the National Federations that attended the XVI IFSC Plenary Assembly
The XVI Plenary Assembly was originally scheduled to be held in Limassol (CYP) on March 13 and 14 but was moved online as a result of the pandemic. A Plenary Assembly in writing took place on May 29 — also in the form of a teleconference — for the approval of the 2019 audit and financial reports, and 2020 budget. IFSC WELCOMES SIX NEW MEMBER FEDERATIONS The Assembly ratified the Executive Board decision to include six new Member Federations into the IFSC. The Federation welcomed two continental members — Sport Climbing Fiji (SCF) and the Uganda Sport Climbing Federation (USCF) — and four full members:
Malta Sport for All (MSFA);
Mauritius Sport Climbing Federation (MSCF);
Nepal Climbing Sport Association (NCSA);
Saudi Climbing and Hiking Federation (SACHF).
The International Federation of Sport Climbing is the international governing body of Sport Climbing. It was founded on January 27, 2007 as a continuation of the International Council for Competition Climbing, which was founded 10 years earlier, in 1997. As a non-profit organisation, the objectives of the IFSC are the direction, regulation, promotion and development of Sport Climbing competitions all around the world.
Sport Climbing will make its Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020, and it's been provisionally included in the programme of Paris 2024. In 2018, two medal events in Sport Climbing were contested at the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games.

Onward and upward! Round 1, Match 2 voting is open through midnight tonight, and it's a tight race between Flicka and Artax, so make sure you cast your vote!
Interesting matchup here – two fictional horses based clearly in historical circumstances! Other than that, these two are pretty different.
Both do come from books – Hidalgo is based on the writings of Frank Hopkins, which may or may not be mostly made up. Joey is the main character of the YA book War Horse. Both horses have extraordinary journeys, and are much the worse for the wear at various points. Both are eventually reunited with their owners.
Hidalgo, though, is a mustang; Joey is (presumably) a decently bred English saddle horse. And though they both got big budget Hollywood films, Hidalgo's was arguably better. It definitely had a hotter protagonist.
Joey is much more of an everyman horse, and his job is to show us our humanity as we learn about his troubles. His story is arguably more textured, and the acclaimed stage show shows some of that texture: it's a relatable story set amidst the horror of war, about larger forces out of anyone's control.
Neither of these are my favorites, but the War Horse movie was SO BAD and the book wasn't much better so I'm going for Hidalgo.
Hidalgo all the way in this one!
I will buck the trend and vote for Joey!

Q: How do I stop 2 buttons doing the same job? In this case, they both scroll to the top I have 2 buttons that are placed on top of each other on my website. One is opens up a model and the other is used to scroll to the top.
I have one piece of code that does scroll to the top, fade in and fade out.
However, both buttons seem to scroll to the top and I do not want this.
I have tried removing fade in, fade out, hide and show sections. How can I edit this piece of code to allow only the back to top button to scroll to the top, and both buttons to fade out when at the top and fade back in when I'm scrolling through the page.
$(document).ready(function(){
 $(window).scroll(function () {
        if ($(this).scrollTop() > 50) {
            $('#back-to-top').fadeIn();
            $('#poll').fadeIn();
        } else {
            $('#back-to-top').fadeOut();
            $('#poll').fadeOut();
        }
    });
    // scroll body to 0px on click
    $('#back-to-top').click(function () {
        $('#back-to-top').tooltip('hide');
        $('#poll').tooltip('hide');

        $('body,html').animate({
            scrollTop: 0
        }, 800);
        return false;
    });

    $('#back-to-top').tooltip('show');
    $('#poll').tooltip('show');

});

A: make sure that two buttons have different names and ids.
<button name="b1" id="id1">
<button name="b2" id="id2">

That distinguish html for javascript usually.

Tucked into a pretty residential neighborhood in Massapequa, the Midshore Mothers' Center is a non-profit organization "run for moms, by moms." Moms are able to socialize and explore their interests while their children do the same.
The Midshore Mothers' Center takes up a handful of rooms rented from Our Lady of Lourdes church. Though they lease space from a church, there is no religious affiliation; families from all backgrounds are welcome.
Mothers have opportunities to hone a skill or discover a new hobby. Everything from scrapbooking and yoga to book clubs (one during the day, another at night) are offered. Childcare is available while moms attend classes, and many find it a relief to know their child is nearby. If a class desired isn't offered or a mom wants to get more involved, there are lots of opportunities to chair a committee or start a group.
Children have plenty of options to keep themselves busy. Classes for kids include Music & Me, Daddy & Me T-ball, and Art. It's unlikely that a child of any age will be bored here.
The Midshore Mothers' Center provides lower-cost Mommy and Me classes, something parents really appreciate. There are also many options for discussion groups – similar to a Professional Development program for parents, the groups give them a chance to talk and share ideas in a structured setting. All Midshore Mothers' Center newbies must take an "entry" class before enrolling in groups. The introductory class reviews how their groups work. The facilitators themselves are trained to ensure that the groups run smoothly.
The Center provides many opportunities for fun. They recently hosted "Mom's Night Out" which featured an overnight stay at the Garden City Hotel. There are parties for members and other options for adult mingling (remember those days?).
Annual membership is $40, plus the cost of whatever workshop or class a parent attends. If interested in joining, please contact them via the information below.
This year's annual charity event for the Midshore Mother Center presents a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" theme. The soiree includes a delicious dinner and a raffle. Ladies, come dressed in a black dress just like Audrey Hepburn in the movie this event is named after. Event is for adults only, reservations required. Early Bird RSVP May 20th. Deadline RSVP May 27th.
Open to any parents and their children, the Center has been holding this event for over a decade. Coaches with enthusiasm for kids and the game can also come to help out. To register, check out the Center's website after May 1st to sign up.
Age group: 3 to 5-yr-olds and a responsible grown-up (must be 3 by June 30, 2012 and 5-yr-olds should not have played little league before).


Early summer means strawberries, and Champaign-Urbana friends are in luck: we've dug up several places within roughly an hour's drive from Champaign-Urbana to pick your own strawberries. The season is short, so if you blink you might miss it.
To be sure that there are berries ripe for the picking, we recommend that you call ahead before you go to any farm (some also put up information on their Facebook pages and/or websites).
1) Be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen; sunglasses and hats are also helpful. Remember, there is no shade while berry picking.
2) Where there is fruit there is often bugs. Go early as possible; be prepared to do sunscreen and bug repellent.
3) We recommend that you bring cash to pay for berries.
5) Remember, berry season is short! Looking for other u-pick info? We've posted information on u-picks near Champaign-Urbana for blueberries, peaches, and apples.
Location: About 45 minutes from Champaign-Urbana, depending on where you live. Easy drive up I-57, exit at Paxton, go north on Route 45. Here's the map.
Notes: Open Monday thru Sunday, 8 am – 8 pm until the first week of June or so. Prices for U Pick Strawberries are $2.99 per pound, with a 5-pound minimum per person over 12 years old.
This locally owned family farm has the earliest of the area strawberry farm seasons.
Notes: Closed on Sundays. Only takes cash. Posts regular updates on its Facebook page. Has other crops all season long, including pumpkins in the fall.
The season at Braffet generally starts right before Memorial Day and lasts about four weeks. In 2018, berries probably not ready until early June, according their Facebook.
Notes: Open 7 days a week during picking season. Only takes cash or checks. Posts regular updates on its Facebook page.
Our family went to Jeffries Orchard in Springfield last summer, and you can read all about this no-frills experience on the website. Typically opens for u pick in mid-May, but like others this year, it seems the 2018 season may be later than usual due to cooler temperatures. They have a roadside stand and sell produce all summer long.
Notes: Open 7 days a week. Takes credit cards. Posts regular updates on its Facebook page. Also has blueberry and peaches on site, but season is much later in the summer.
For 2018, opening for picking expected around Memorial Day in the last week of May. Strawberry season usually lasts about a month.
Location: About 75 minutes from southwest Champaign, straight south between Mattoon and Effingham.
Notes: Open 7 days a week during picking season. Posts regular updates on its Facebook page. Also has blueberries and blackberries on site, but season is much later in the summer.
Did we miss your favorite strawberry u pick?

Discussion in 'Official Announcements' started by Auric, May 22, 2018.
Effective August 1st 2018 black makeup can no longer be used for dark elves. The owners have voted to change the racial requirement to dark blue, grey, or dark purple makeup.
Some chapters are already offering a version of this policy at an LCO level. Also, some plot teams may be choosing to provide IG story regarding this change. Please check with your local teams regarding their plans and time frame for making the change.
Siren Aspen, Saephis, Vry_Young_Pup and 10 others like this.
Is white hair still a requirement?
If players dislike this change and want to play a new race because of it, are we allowed to do so?
So can they wear either of the colors? Are they allowed to mix? (Such as having grey skin and purple veins, etc).
The DM doesn't kill people.... oh wait, Yes, yes we do!
Thank you for adopting this nationally. I'm very excited.
Also, is there a limit to the shades of purple, blue, or grey? We don't want people to just pick a dark enough blue that it simply looks black anyways, but I don't know if you were planning on having a "colors should be within these RGB ranges" or something as part of the national race packets?
At risk of overstepping here, I would say that anyone who deliberately picks a dark enough blue/purple that it gets mistaken for black is intentionally violating the spirit of the rules specifically to start a fight over "how dark is too dark" and cause a problem for the chapter's CS team.
In that mindset, I would suggest using the rule of thumb that "if it's too dark to easily tell it's blue/purple before you apply it, it's probably too dark to wear in-game" would cover most scenarios? I doubt a lot of the player base is so set on having Dark Elves be specifically black that this wouldn't cover their needs, and those players who feel it doesn't could have their makeup choices judged BEFORE coming to game on a case-by-case basis by the logistics/CS team or the owner.
Phalaenopsis the shade tree. Also known as Phal, Nopsis, Nox, and Waldo.
Arthur the Otterkyn, Master Ritualist of the Penta of the Arcane Sanctum in the Lux Obscura.
I'm not certain what CS means (local thing?), but I suspect that Marshals would be a better go-to. At least in our area, Marshals clear racial-representation issues, though I suspect we'll be working with our owners from the onset to get a good idea of what they expect.
CS is just short for Customer Service; we have a small group of people that handle OoG complaints that can't be handled by Marshals (essentially, issues that escalate beyond simple disputes between players, such as harassment and things like that), sometimes as a sort of tribunal, sometimes one-on-one. If your Marshals handle that sort of thing normally, then that would be the equivalent in my books. I would consider that particular scenario a thing that might require them to be involved, specifically so that all players know the makeup choice was cleared for use by someone they might otherwise take that sort of thing to. It's obviously going to vary slightly by chapter and who okays it, but it should minimize complaints and theoretically stop people from starting a "how dark is too dark" argument.
Is there a ruling on using black face paint for monster NPCs? Shadow Elementals or similar types.
Are all the pictures of a Dark Elf being removed from the rulebook and the websites as well?
They will be, yes. We just need some really good replacement photos.
Players can absolutely mix tones! In fact, from some of the makeup enthusiasts I've spoken with, it looks much better!
A couple members of our team played dark elf PCs - one purple with blue highlights, the other blue with purple highlights. It looked excellent!
Draven, mythic, Samyania and 1 other person like this.
As a makeup fan, and someone wanting to learn more, I look forward to testing it out sometime.
My plot team leader mixed purple and gray at the HQ opener and in my opinion, it looked spectacular. The change actually opens up even more options for character design than we had before. Super happy excited about this change.
Even though the ruling that has been made is no black makeup can be used, only gray, blue, and purple - and that the examples I provided were within those parameters, I redact my post.
I wish you all well in finding what you're looking for.
To me, the above just looks like the original dark evles, and it's a dark enough grey that it reads black to me.
Also, when the rule was listed above, they said Dark blue, grey, and Dark Purple. To me, the double use of "dark" on the other two colors led me to believe that "dark" grey wasn't one of the colors... rather lighter colors of grey.
But again, this is why I asked in an earlier comment if there was going to be a little more clarification on what shades work? Because my biggest fear with a rule change like this is that those who didn't want the rule change are simply going to try to get as close as they can to the original rules anyways. And if people just wear dark enough colors of these to make it look black anyways, it defeats the purpose of this to begin with.

We discussed internet marketing tips for New York bars a couple weeks ago in our blog post, Social Media Marketing Tips for Bars. This week we'll take a more in depth look at one of the newest social media platforms, Pinterest.
Getting started. Make sure to feature your business name on your profile for maximum exposure. Add a paragraph about who you are, what you do, and include any relevant links.
Mix it up. Don't only repin other content- make sure to mix it up by uploading your own original images. Make sure they are all quality images- the more visually appealing, the more pins you will get. Pin a lot, and pin regularly.
What should I pin? Get creative with your pins. Your boards should feature your establishment, but it should also expand beyond that. Are you a local sports bar? Create a board with your local sports team. Have a specialty drink? Describe the ingredients or what makes it so special. Have events weekly? Post pictures of them. Whether your bar is a neighborhood pit stop or a swanky happy hour spot, make sure visitors know the atmosphere and personality right off the bat.
Interact. Pinterest is similar to other sites in that users can comment and "like" pins. Interact with your followers and other boards. Comment on pins you like, and join the discussion. Make sure to add a "Follow me on Pinterest" button to your website to cross-promote. You can also integrate your Pinterest account with Facebook and Twitter, so you post content in both places at once.
Evaluate. You can find out who has been pinning your images at http://pinterest.com/source/yoursitehere. What type of images generated the most repins? You can tack which pins resonate with users to help shape your content strategy.

Sandra Newman (Boston, Massachusetts, 6 de novembre de 1965) és una escriptora estatunidenca. Té una llicenciatura per la Polytechnic of Central London i un màster per la Universitat d'East Anglia.

La primera novel·la de Newman, The Only Good Thing Anyone Has Ever Done, es va publicar per primera vegada l'any 2002 i va rebre una nominació al premi Guardian First Book Award de 2002. La novel·la presenta una adoptada nord-americana de Guatemala anomenada Chrysalis Moffat i se centra en els esdeveniments de la seva vida i la de la seva família utilitzant un estil inusual que recorda les notes preses durant la composició de la novel·la.

La tercera novel·la de Newman, The Country of Ice Cream Star (2014), es trobava entre els vuitanta títols nominats per al Folio Prize 2015, i entre els vint treballs nominats per al Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction 2015. El relat segueix la protagonista, Ice Cream Fifteen Star, a través d'un futur distòpic dels Estats Units mentre busca una cura per a la malaltia hereditària del seu germà.

La seva quarta novel·la, The Heavens (2019), publicada per Grove Atlantic, explica la història d'una dona que viu a principis del segle XXI, però que torna cada nit en somnis a l'Anglaterra isabelina, on viu com Emilia Lanier, un poeta jueu el cercle de coneguts del qual inclou un poeta obscur anomenat William Shakespeare. The New York Times Book Review ho va anomenar "un híbrid estrany i bonic".

És autora d'una novel·la addicional, Cake (2008); una memòria, Changeling (2010); i una guia de literatura occidental, The Western Lit Survival Kit: How To Read The Classics Without Fear (2012). És coautora de How Not To Write A Novel (2008) i Read This Next (2010).

L'any 2021 s'anuncià que estava escrivint un llibre que segueix el relat de l'obra 1984 de George Orwell des de la perspectiva de la Júlia, l'amant del protagonista Winston Smith. Aquest nou projecte tingué el vistiplau de Richard Blair, patró de la fundació Orwell Society i fill de l'escriptor.

Chevron Phillips to Supply Pipe to EVX Midstream
Source: www.gulfoilandgas.com 8/8/2019, Location: North America
Performance Pipe, a division of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP, announced today it is supplying EVX Midstream Partners LLC with PlatinumStripe� 1800 Series PE-RT Piping to transport produced waste water more sustainably in the Eagle Ford Basin in Texas to multiple saltwater disposal (SWD) facilities.
EVX Midstream Partners expects to expand this pipeline to a length greater than 300 miles, making it the largest SWD pipeline network carrying produced waste water in the Eagle Ford Basin.
Designed for high-temperature environments, this unique high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe will help decrease the need for heavy-haul trucks to transfer produced waste water, which will reduce traffic on public roads by an estimated 250,000 truck trips annually. In addition to saving municipalities the expense of maintenance caused by potential wear and tear on public roads, the new pipeline will reduce the carbon emissions associated with these heavy-haul rigs.
Additional benefits include:
- lower risk of produced waste water spills and improved road safety
- increased reliability and production output yielding predictable expenses for water gathering and disposal versus fluctuating costs associated with fuel prices
- reduced expense of installation and operating costs and carbon emissions associated with diesel motors used to cool standard HDPE pipes
- reduced disruption for landowners and neighboring communities
�The installation of Performance Pipe�s Platinum Stripe� 1800 Series PE-RT Piping provides numerous benefits to safety, the environment and the local community,� said Mike Zeglin, Performance Pipe�s general manager and president. �Our product helps meet the water handling requirements of shale producers in an all-around safe and reliable manner, from reducing the carbon footprint associated with saltwater disposal to creating less truck traffic and related emissions.�
At its core, the project provides a solution to the higher produced water temperatures associated with shale production in the Eagle Ford. Those often are in the 160- to 180-Fahrenheit degree range and corrode standard steel piping.
�This project is a great example of how Performance Pipe products carry significant advantages on multiple fronts, including in this case for shale production, the environment, public safety and our highway infrastructure,� said Herb Chambers IV, CEO of EVX Midstream Partners. �That is why we believe our SWD pipeline network represents a true win-win for shale producers, our company, local landowners and the Eagle Ford�s economic growth.�
The first phase of the EVX Midstream Partners� project will span 160 miles and has 30 miles of Performance Pipe�s Platinum Stripe� 1800 Series PE-RT Piping currently in service. The product will be used for the entire project.

Pleasant Bay is a picturesque fishing village located on the Northwest point of Cape Breton Island just off the Cabot Trail. The house is fully-equipped with four separate bedrooms, and direct access to Red River Beach.
The view from the Pleasant Bay Beach House is unparalelled, as it overlooks Mackenzie Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. Come for a visit, and enjoy watching the whales, bald eagles, moose and deer, or just pull up a hammock and relax!
Unwind in the sun and try to spot some of the local wildlife. The waters around Pleasant Bay are teeming with pods of whales and seals, while bald eagles nest in the rocky cliffs above. A quiet, pristine beach is just a walk down the hill from the the house. This idyllic spot joins the Atlantic Ocean with Red River, creating a perfect beach where you will rarely see another soul. As a bonus, the shallow, calm river can be a perfect spot to swim for families with young children. Definitely pack sunscreen, beach shoes, and a picnic lunch!

In the bestselling tradition of The Interestings and A Little Life, this "cleverly constructed and emotionally compelling" (Jenny Offill, Dept. of Speculation) novel follows four longtime friends as they navigate love, commitment, and forgiveness while the world around them changes beyond recognition—from the author of the "savvy, heartfelt, and utterly engaging" (Alice McDermott) Bed-Stuy Is Burning.
New York City is still regaining its balance in the years following September 11, when four twenty-somethings—Tess, Tazio, David, and Angelica—meet in a bar, each yearning for something: connection, recognition, a place in the world, a cause to believe in. Nearly fifteen years later, as their city recalibrates in the wake of the 2016 election, their bond has endured—but almost everything else has changed.
As freshmen at Cooper Union, Tess and Tazio were the ambitious, talented future of the art world—but by thirty-six, Tess is married to David, the mother of two young boys, and working as an understudy on Broadway. Kind and steady, David is everything Tess lacked in her own childhood—but a recent freak accident has left him with befuddling symptoms, and she's still adjusting to her new role as caretaker.
Meanwhile, Tazio—who once had a knack for earning the kind of attention that Cooper Union students long for—has left the art world for a career in creative branding and politics. But in December 2016, fresh off the astonishing loss of his candidate, Tazio is adrift, and not even his gorgeous and accomplished fiancée, Angelica, seems able to get through to him. With tensions rising on the national stage, the four friends are forced to face the reality of their shared histories, especially a long-ago betrayal that has shaped every aspect of their friendship.
Elegant and perceptive, "The Body Politic is a book about many things—what it means to be unwell, what it means to heal, how deep and strange friendships can be, and how hidden things never stay hidden for long" (Rachel Monroe, author of Savage Appetites).

"For anyone who looks back on the past twenty years of American life and wonders how the hell did we get here, picking up Brian Platzer's The Body Politic is a good place to start. How many times when reading this novel did I stop and say, 'Like that, it all felt a lot like that.'" —Elliot Ackerman, author of Waiting for Eden
"An inherently character-driven tale, beautifully written, and a fine example of a long, strange trip." —Library Journal
"Brian Platzer has done something marvelous — transmuted the queasy early years of the Trump presidency into a novel that's a delight to read. The Body Politic is a book about many things — what it means to be unwell, what it means to heal, how deep and strange friendships can be, and how hidden things never stay hidden for long. I was grateful for its engaging, empathetic company during these fractious times." —Rachel Monroe, author of Savage Appetites
"Brian Platzer's The Body Politic is my favorite kind of book: a novel that swings for the fences. It's smart and bold and a little bit brutal. The book it reminds me of the most is Claire Messud's The Emperor's Children—it has the same kind of expansive scope, and dark bite. Lots of people are writing books that attempt to capture the current political moment; fewer people are writing honestly about how it feels to live in it - and all the ways it's changing us." —Kristen Roupenian, author of You Know You Want This
"A cleverly constructed and emotionally compelling novel about the common disappointments and surprising consolations of middle age. The Body Politic captures the ambient dread of chronic illness with extraordinary precision and striking insight." —Jenny Offill, author of Dept. of Speculation
"Platzer's (Bed-Stuy is Burning, 2018) second novel is about four friends in their thirties in New York City. But The Body Politic is bold in other ways. Firmly set in the almost-present aftermath of the 2016 election, it's propelled by real-world headlines." —Booklist

Life Isn't a Game
When we're little we delight in simple stories. The characters are not complex and the implicit rules are easy to grasp. The Walt Disney Corporation has made many fortunes from exploiting our desire for easy-to-grasp.
The problems begin to appear as we grow older. The Western fantasy about finding "the one" and strolling happily off into the sunset hand-in-hand do not prepare us in any way for adult interactions and in fact set us up for painful failure. Human nature is the result of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, of selection pressures that shaped our brains just as much as they shaped our bodies. Human nature is in no way reducible to a Disneyesque fantasy.
I've always been struck by the American phrase "he cheated on me." It implies that relationships are akin to a children's board game. No one likes a child who cheats at monopoly; no one likes an adult who cheats at the game of relationships.
Except of course real life isn't a children's board game and the rules are very different from what we've been told. As a result, millions of people each year experience confusion and pain instead of being able to understand what's really going on. "If she loved me enough, she wouldn't have cheated" and "if he wasn't afraid of commitment we'd have a perfect relationship" are merely two out of many false conclusions based on faulty but unquestioned assumptions.
The fact is, human behavior is dynamic and complex, capable of adapting in some degree to different circumstances and yet also quite predictable and fundamentally fixed for the most part. As we begin to understand human behavior better, the Disneyeque fairytales fall by the wayside and can be replaced with more adequate notions. And when we do this, not only do we avoid a lot of unnecessary confusion and pain but we can also expand ourselves to become more human, more humane, and more connected with one another.
Rather than write about abstractions I'm going to draw on my own personal experiences to convey a little of what I mean, because we all learn better from stories than from academic theses.
A few years back I was traveling with my second wife around Europe. We were in Venice for three nights and we spent the days walking everywhere, enjoying its splendors and all the tiny architectural details that draw the eye so unexpectedly. On the second day we had lunch in a restaurant about a kilometer from our hotel. As we left the restaurant my wife told me that when she'd gone to the toilet our tall handsome waiter had followed her in, gripped her firmly, and kissed her passionately while running his hands all over her.
"Was it exciting?" I asked.
"So why don't you go back there and see what happens?"
What happened was, she returned to the restaurant and had what turned into a two-hour adventure that was thoroughly enjoyable for both of them. And when she returned to our hotel later, we had three hours of our own very hot catch-up sex so everyone gained from the experience.
I didn't torment myself with questions about why love wasn't enough, nor obsess over whether he'd have a bigger penis or more stamina, nor believe that there was a fundamental flaw in our relationship. I simply recognized that an erotic situation had presented itself and we had a choice: run away or run towards. Growth comes from the latter. Her experiences helped her become a fuller version of herself, which in turn enabled me to enjoy her more.
When we stop thinking about relationships as a child's board game, we become capable of being so much more than stunted and fearful people trying to control our partners lest they discover "better" options elsewhere.
Of course, not everyone will either want nor have the emotional stability to be open to this kind of approach. My marriage was atypical in that we enjoyed each other greatly as people, our sex drives were compatible (even after six years of marriage we averaged three times per day), and we both had low jealousy and low insecurity. We're all different, and we need to learn by trial and error what works for us and what doesn't. There's no one-size-fits-all. Yet I do believe that we could all use a little more honesty and bravery when it comes to fashioning our adult relationships.
I read a report a few years ago that said in the USA 90% of respondents would never risk sharing their sexual fantasies with their partners lest they be judged or be thought perverted. I've always shared my fantasies and encouraged my partners to share theirs. It's how we learn and grow. Sometimes fantasies are best left as wonderful acts of imagination; sometimes it's empowering to make them come true. One of my partners liked to masturbate while fantasizing about licking my semen out of the pussy of another woman I'd just fucked. We had the opportunity to turn this into reality and she loved it even more than she'd imagined.
We also had our share of things that didn't work out as we'd hoped. We learned just as much from these experiences as from the ones that were hot and wet and provided lots of mind-blowing orgasms.
When we learn to stop being afraid we can find a much larger and safer world than we ever thought possible. The first step is to understand that we can't cheat at real life. We can just make choices.

Mobile location analytics reporting services provide aggregate insights about consumer behavior based on the collection of information from consumers' Wi Fi enabled devices. Venues such as airports, hotels and stores can use these insights to better understand and serve their customers.
When providing mobile location analytics reporting services to a business, Verizon collects MAC addresses from Wi Fi enabled devices that come into contact with that business' Wi Fi network equipment. This occurs only when a device's Wi Fi is turned on. The MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to every mobile device; it is not the device's mobile number. The MAC address identifies the make of the device (such as Samsung or Apple), but it does not reveal other information about the device or its owner. We also capture the signal strength from the device to estimate the distance between the device and Wi Fi network equipment and sensors.
Once the MAC address is collected, it is hashed and encrypted. Each MAC address translates to a unique identifier that does not identify the device from which it was obtained. This information is retained in our databases for only as long as reasonably necessary for business or legal purposes.
Verizon analyzes this information to create anonymous and aggregated reports that are then shared with the business customer. For example, reports prepared for a retail business customer might contain information such as how many people visited the store, how long they stayed, which part of the store they visited, and how often they returned. This information might be used, for example, to reduce wait times at check-out, optimize store layouts, and understand consumer shopping patterns.
Verizon participates in the Mobile location analytics Code of Conduct developed by the Future of Privacy Forum. This code requires transparency and choice for Mobile location analytics service providers. If you would like to exclude your Wi Fi-enabled device from being included in mobile location analytics reporting by companies who participate in this Code of Conduct, you can opt out at any time.
