The multinational cast of Up with People is headed to Venice FL. Up with People (UWP), which has toured to 65 countries around the world during the last 50-years, has announced that Venice FL will be a stop on their 2015 tour. On Friday and Saturday, September 11 and 12 at 7:00 p.m. Up with People will perform public shows at Venice Performing Arts Center in Venice FL. Up with People's visit is in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry and Martha Jarrett for their impact on UWP and the Venice community. The proceeds from the show ticket sales will benefit the Venice High School Foundation.
While in Venice between September 7 and 14, 2015, Up with People will spend time participating in service projects and live with local host families. Beginning in August, Up with People will be recruiting families to host international cast members during their stay in Venice. The sharing goes both ways…while families share their traditions and local attractions, the cast members share their experiences and cultures. By the end of their five-month world tour, the cast will visit dozens of communities throughout the United States, Europe and Mexico.
The international cast of 100 will also complete more than 1,000 hours of community service reaching out to and supporting many local non-profit organizations. Community members are invited to join the cast to give back to their own communities. Volunteering is not the only way to get involved, if you or someone you know is between the ages of 17 and 29, local youth can apply to travel in future programs. In recent years many Venice natives have traveled the world with Up with People, including Chuck and Cyndi Jarrett, Dennis Peterson, Cecilia Luyao and Venice resident Diana Verhulst, just to name a few!
Best known for their high-energy, upbeat, family-friendly entertainment, the cast of 110 participants representing 21 countries are participating in UWP's international global education program for young adults. For 50 years, the casts of Up with People have toured the globe performing for millions, including an unprecedented four Super Bowl halftime shows.
"The Journey will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Up with People, while acknowledging that UWP's mission is an ongoing journey, and is as relevant in 2015 as it was in 1965," explains Up with People Executive Producer Eric Lentz. "The show will feature historical highlights from throughout Up with People's existence, including pop medleys from the last 5 decades, and a medley of iconic UWP international dances. Original UWP songs will introduce timeless themes, and include messages of hope, movement, peace, and an overriding sense of motivation to go out and make a positive change in the world." Lentz added.
Up with People's visit to Venice is sponsored by the Gulf Coast Community Foundation. Venice High School Foundation is the beneficiary of the show.
Families in Venice will have the unique opportunity to bring a bit of the world into their own homes between September 7 and 14 when an international cast of Up with People arrives to Venice, a stop on their 2015 world tour.
Host families are being sought to keep one or more students from Cast B 2015, the 110-member Up with People cast, which represents 21 countries. "It is a great opportunity to experience other cultures while sharing your own," explained Angel Cancino, Promotion Representative for Up with People.
The opportunity to stay with local families during their time in each community is a centerpiece of Up with People's 22-week program. The giving goes both ways; while families share their traditions and local attractions, the cast members also share their experiences and cultures.
Local host families are asked to provide a bed, local transportation at the beginning and end of each day, as well as breakfast and most dinners. While gone during the day, participating in regional learning, community service and show preparation, most evenings cast members will be home with the family to participate in their activities and interests.
pop medleys from the last 5 decades, and a medley of iconic UWP international dances. Original UWP songs will introduce timeless themes, and include messages of hope, movement, peace, and an overriding sense of motivation to go out and make a positive change in the world.
The show will be held at the Venice Performing Arts Center on Friday and Saturday, September 11 and 12 at 7:00 p.m.
"I can honestly say that the dozens of families who have opened their homes to me during my time in Up with People is one of the most meaningful and memorable experiences I have had," said Angel Cancino, Promotion Representative for Up with People. "I still stay in contact with many of them, and I believe they will remain lifelong friends," he added.
Those with smaller children or young teens in their home often find that the Up with People cast members are wonderful role models and provide a glimpse into other countries, cultures and traditions they might not often experience in Venice, Cancino added.
Local families in the Venice area are being sought to host the cast members between September 7 to 14, 2015. Those interested in hosting are encouraged to contact Pricela Erives on the Venice Advance Team at [email protected] or by calling (520) 869-6841.
Up with People's visit to Venice in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry and Martha Jarrett is sponsored by Gulf Coast Community Foundation. Venice High School Foundation is the beneficiary of the show.
The time is here and the Up with People Advance Team has arrived! The team is made up of Angel Cancino from Chihuahua, Mexico & Pricela Erives from Tucson, AZ. They will be spending the next 6 weeks in Venice preparing for the international cast of Up with People to arrive on September 7th, 2015.
Provide a place to sleep, breakfast and dinner and limited transportation in the morning and evening from September 7 – 14.
You'll receive 2 complimentary tickets to the show for hosting!
Contact Pricela Erives at [email protected] or (520) 869 6841 with questions or for more information.
The 110-member cast is between the ages of 17 and 29 years old and represents 22 different countries. Cast members are out of the house during regular business hours, volunteering, rehearsing or taking part in educational workshops. Sunday, September 13th is a 'host family day,' you may choose to show them around your city, include them in a family event or simply relax at home.

Art People: Angela Fina | potter, 1937-2013
Last modified: Thursday, March 06, 2014
In her last two months, after the last drug trial failed to stop the spread of her ovarian cancer and there was nothing left to try, Angela Fina, a potter who lived in Amherst, asked a friend for help.
"I've got to get my things in order," she told Connie Baugh. She asked Baugh to help her organize the knowledge she'd acquired as a potter — such as the formulations for the rich glazes she was known for — so that it could be used by others.
Tape recorder in hand, "I'd go to her house every week," Baugh said. Fina, on the couch, would elaborate on the notes she'd kept about making and applying glazes, how certain colors worked together, how materials interacted.
"It was her last generous act on Earth," said Baugh, who plans to compile the information into a resource book for potters.
Fina, 76 when she died on Nov. 10, 2013, was a fixture on the local art landscape, with a reputation that spread far beyond. After her death, an essay in Studio Potter magazine noted her "consummate craftsmanship, attention to proportion and detail, and elegant, lush glazes."
She taught at workshops around the country, wrote articles for art journals, and co-edited two books about pottery. She became, as Michael Cohen, a potter who lives in Pelham, said at her memorial service, "the go-to person for all ceramic questions" who was never stingy with her know-how or her time.
Fina's accessibility, warmth, smarts and humor earned her a huge circle of friends and acquaintances. Those who loved her, and they were many, knew her as a potter — and a devoted Red Sox fan, a gardener and cook, a regular at dance performances and classical music concerts, a fierce Pictionary player, a spirited conversationalist, a compassionate friend who kept up with her friends' triumphs and reverses, no matter how small.
Her career started young. After Fina's death, Doris Fina found a box of her sister's earliest pots: It was labeled K-12. A native of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Fina studied art at Nazareth College and earned an MFA in ceramics at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Her career path took her into academia until 1977, when she left a tenured position teaching art in Canada to pursue pottery full time.
"I figured life could be short," she said in a 2010 Hampshire Life feature, "and I ought to do what I really wanted to do."
She always knew, she said, that with no spouse, no trust fund, no cushy divorce settlement to fall back on, she needed to sell enough work to survive — and she did.
In a 2008 essay for Julia Galloway's "Field Guide for Ceramic Artisans," Fina wrote, "The life of being an artist will involve a lot of compromise. But the question is, how important is being an artist to you? Are you willing to find a way, even if it's not the ideal you wish you had?"
Near the end, she told Tom White, a close friend and potter who lives in Northfield, that she wanted to make a last batch of pots, focusing on shapes and glazes she hadn't used in awhile. White fired the pieces for her — she was getting too weak to do it herself — and brought them back to her in Amherst. "She was thrilled," he said, "looking at each one." She chose one with a black glaze and gave it to White. "I'm so glad this one came out," she told him. "This was the last pot I made."
"Angela Fina, Ceramic Vessels: 1960s — 2013" is on view through Feb. 24 in a retrospective exhibit at the Salmon Falls Artisans Showroom in Shelburne Falls. A reception will be held Feb. 15, 2 to 4 p.m. at the gallery, 1 Ashfield St.

Top Ten 'Conspiracy Theories' That Were Proven True In 2017
December 23, 2017 Sean Adl-Tabatabai Conspiracies 4
Twitter14FacebookLinkedInEmailRedditTelegram
2017 will be remembered as the year where conspiracy theorists were vindicated as the mainstream media narrative completely collapsed.
To show just how vindicated we are, below is a list of the top 10 conspiracy theories that were proven to be true in 2017.
Thefreethoughtproject.com reports:
1. Hollywood and the political elite have been exposed for their rampant and horrifying sex abuse against men, women, and children alike
Just last year, as good people tried to point out that although Pizzagate may not have taken place in some restaurant in DC, the idea of sex abuse among the elite was no laughing matter. However, anyone who mentioned sex abuse among the elite was scoffed at and ridiculed by those in the mainstream.
This ridicule was in spite of the fact that the former speaker of the house admitted to raping multiple little boys and was sentenced to prison last year. This ridicule was also in spite of the fact that whistleblowers have been shouting from the mountain tops about the rampant abuse—for decades—only to have their cries fall on deaf ears.
This year, however, it was different. With Harvey Weinstein as the catalyst, former victims came forward and began publicly naming their abusers and even getting the police involved. The American people also learned that their ostensible representation in D.C. was spending millions to silence the victims of their apparent uncontrollable sex abuse.
No longer will companies like Disney be able to hire convicted pedophiles as the world looks the other way—nor will sicko politicians be allowed the immunity to rape and pillage as they see fit. 2017 will be known as the year the victims fought back.
2. Weather modification just jumped from "chemtrail" conspiracy theory into mainstream reality, as Congress began holding hearings on geoengineering
Geoengineering is finally going mainstream as the U.S. House Subcommittee on Environment and Subcommittee on Energy Hearing, in November, held the first House hearing about the science that until now has generally been considered a "conspiracy theory" and relegated to the fringes of society by the Praetorian Guard mainstream media — controlled by the ruling power-elite oligarchy.
The controversial subject of climate engineering or weather modification – which was popularized, and oversimplified with the term "chem-trails" – is stepping from the shadows and into the light of public scrutiny for the first time.
The congressional hearing, titled "Geoengineering: Innovation, Research, and Technology," was attended by members of the House committees as well as representatives of think tanks, academics, and researcher scientists to discuss the future of geoengineering research.
During the first hearing, the potential need to set up a regulatory structure within which experiments would be allowed, at a set scale, was discussed. Now, those who deny the fact that government is involved in geoengineering will be the conspiracy theorists.
3. 20,000 documents were released in August proving the EPA conspired with chemical companies to unleash deadly toxic substances on the public
Highly toxic chemical compounds made by Dow, Monsanto, DuPont and other companies were being developed and marketed in ever greater quantities, and federal agencies were rubber-stamping their approval based on fraudulent safety testing.
The Poison Papers reveal that, instead of acting to protect the public and reassess the chemicals, EPA held a secret meeting with chemical companies to assure them that their products would continue being sold.
The secret meeting between EPA and chemical companies is the most poignant example of a long history of collusion at the expense of human and environmental health.
4. US media giant Sally Quinn admitted she practiced the occult to murder people—and she was praised for it
Although her husband Ben Bradlee died in 2014—who was good friends with former President John F. Kennedy, and executive editor of the Washington Post from 1968 to 1991—Quinn has since taken the time to give insight into the glamorous life lived by the media's royal couple. Some of the practices she describes are ones that would normally be written off as crazy conspiracy theories by outlets such as their beloved Washington Post.
However, WaPost actually praised it.
In her latest publication titled, Finding Magic: A Spiritual Memoir, Quinn reveals that she believes she has killed at least three people in her lifetime. She claims that while she did not harm anyone physically, she believes strongly in the occult, and has used hexes on people who got on her bad side.
5. Mainstream media finally admitted the United States has been aiding terrorists in Syria
In November, the BBC released a bombshell report confirming that the US and Syrian Defense Forces knowingly aided thousands of ISIS fighters.
According to the bombshell BBC report:
The BBC has uncovered details of a secret deal that let hundreds of Islamic State fighters and their families escape from Raqqa, under the gaze of the US and British-led coalition and Kurdish-led forces who control the city. A convoy included some of IS's most notorious members and – despite reassurances – dozens of foreign fighters. Some of those have spread out across Syria, even making it as far as Turkey.
Then in December, an investigation concluded that 97 percent of the weapons used by the Islamic State were supplied illegally by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
The weapons and ammunition were originally purchased by the United States and Saudi Arabia and then distributed to rebel groups. While the U.S. claimed to be fighting ISIS, the fact is that ISIS was one of the Syrian rebel groups opposing Assad, and as the report noted, nearly all of their weapons came from those purchased by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
6. The Federal Reserve bank was exposed in June to be a working arm of US Intelligence
Confidential accounts within the Federal Reserve have been used by the U.S. Treasury and other departments "several times a year to analyze the asset holdings of the central banks of Russia, China, Iraq, Turkey, Yemen, Libya and others," according to a report from Reuters that cites more than a dozen current and former senior U.S. officials.
The U.S. central bank keeps a tight lid on information contained in these accounts. But according to the officials interviewed by Reuters, U.S. authorities regularly use a 'need to know' confidentiality exception in the Fed's service contracts with foreign central banks.
7. Declassified document proved the conspiracy that the CIA planned and carried out the 1953 Iranian Coup
The newly declassified documents, titled "Foreign Relations of the United States, 1952-1954, Iran, 1951–1954," provide a notable difference from the State Department's 1989 version of the coup, which left out any involvement from American and British intelligence.
A memorandum from Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles to President Eisenhower, dated March 1, 1953, serves as a reminder that internally, "the elimination of Mossadeq by assassination or otherwise," was used as a method in repairing ties with Iran, restoring oil negotiations, and stopping a "Communist takeover."
8. Billionaire elitists openly admit to Ingesting the blood of young children
Once the talk of conspiracy theorists — the rich ingesting the blood of the young to foster longevity — is now a reality and an actual business in the United States. Not only is it a business but billionaires are actually admitting their interest in it.
As Vanity Fair reports, Ambrosia, which buys its blood from blood banks, now has about 100 paying customers. Some are Silicon Valley technologists—like Peter Thiel, the billionaire co-founder of PayPal and adviser to Donald Trump.
9. CIA drug trafficking conspiracy was blown wide open in an explosive History Channel series
A&E Networks addressed the government's role in the drug war in a four-part documentary series on the History Channel, titled, "America's War on Drugs."
"America's War on Drugs" is an immersive trip through the last five decades, uncovering how the CIA, obsessed with keeping America safe in the fight against communism, allied itself with the mafia and foreign drug traffickers. In exchange for support against foreign enemies, the groups were allowed to grow their drug trade in the United States.
10. Mainstream science showed Vitamin C's ability to fight cancer
According to researchers from the University of Iowa, ascorbate, derived from Vitamin C, was successfully observed increasing hydrogen peroxide levels in cancer cells, which in turn had a toxic result with cancer cells, killing the cancer cells in lab rats yet not damaging normal cells in the process. The researchers concluded that Vitamin C might, indeed, be lethal to some cancers.
According to the scientists, "These results indicate that an in vivo measurement of catalase activity in tumors may predict which cancers will respond to pharmacological ascorbate therapy." Once the exact cancers are identified, which are killed by vitamin C, the researchers concluded, "this information can also be used in finding combination therapies that may increase the efficacy of treatment for those tumors with higher catalase activities." In other words, extremely high doses of the Vitamin C derivative may potentially be added to conventional cancer therapies to help kill more cancer cells.
In 2017, the world has learned that truth is indeed stranger than fiction as the light continues to shine into the darkness. With all the proven conspiracies in 2017, we can't help but remain optimistic for 2018 to become the year the world begins to wake up.

If business corporations are the most dominant institutions on Earth today, then what is their nature? This question animates The Corporation, now playing in four Canadian theatres
Published: Sunday 29 February 2004
The Corporation Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott, Canada
If business corporations are the most dominant institutions on Earth today, then what is their nature? This question animates The Corporation, now playing in four Canadian theatres. And the answer that emerges -- from interviews with ceos, shots of sweatshops, news conferences, corporate ad campaigns and training films of the 1940s and 1950s -- is a hard-hitting one: a corporation is a clinical psychopath.
In law, today's corporations are treated like a person. They can buy and sell property, have the right to free expression and most other rights that individuals have. This is due to the consistent use of the Fourteenth Amendment to the us Constitution -- designed to protect black people after the 19th century Civil War in the us -- by us companies to proclaim that corporations should be treated as "persons".
The documentary shows four examples of corporations at work -- including garment sweatshops in Honduras and Indonesia. It so demonstrates that this "legal person" is inherently amoral, callous and deceitful. The corporation, it is shown, ignores any social and legal standards to get its way, and does not suffer from guilt even as it mimics qualities such as empathy, caring and altruism. Based on diagnostic criteria of the World Health Organization, the documentary suggests, a person with these character traits would have to be categorised as a psychopath.

From the 1st of July you must carry an unused Breathalyzer in your car or motorbike/scooter - but not mopeds while driving in France.
However - isn't there always - though the law as passed in November and comes into force on the 1st July they "say" there will be no prosecutions until 1st November.
It must be a French NF-Approved Digital Breathalyzer or Breathalyzer Kit.
The French Police are suggesting vehicles carry at least two, so that if one is used to check the driver, a second remains for inspection but the law requires either an NF Approved digital breathalyzer or one unused breathalyzer kit.
The regulation was passed into law on the 28th February and will be effective from 1st July - however while it won't be enforced until November, stocks are so short that drivers are being advised to order NOW to ensure delivery before the November deadline.


Three weeks ago, several radical separatist 'Localist' legislators recently elected to Hong Kong's Legislative Council (LegCo) put on a pubertal show of utter contempt for the Hong Kong SAR and the mainland.
Youthful would-be legislators Yau Wai-ching and Sixtus "Baggio" Leung altered their parliamentary oaths to uphold Hong Kong's Basic Law with Lau saying she "(bore) true allegiance to the Hong Kong nation". When told to repeat the oath correctly, she resorted to abusing the name of the People's Republic using foul words and a derogatory war-time Japanese term for China 'Chee-na". Not to be out done, Sixtus Leung draped a banner declaring "Hong Kong is NOT China" and again uttered the disparaging word 'Chee-na'. Lau Siu-lai read her pledge in slow motion, taking 10 minutes to finish the 77-word oath while other pro-secessionists tore up prop copies of the Basic Law.
In the face of such an dispicable affront to Hong Kong dignity and Chinese sovereignty, China's National People's Congress (NPC) took the unprecedented step of blocking Ms Yau and Mr Leung from taking their oaths a second time after being initially disqualified by the LegCo President. The NPC issued an interpretation of a section of the Basic Law on oaths sworn by incoming legislators. Li Fei, deputy secretary-general of the NPC Standing committee told reporters at a subsequent Beijing news conference, "breaking 'One Country, Two Systems' is violating the law, not voicing a political view…There will be no leniency (for the perpetrators)".
Lau and Leung exemplify a new breed of radicalized Hong Kong youths who see little hope for their future just as their mainland cousins enjoy continuing improvements in their daily lives and China as a country leapfrogs over other countries in almost every facet of economy, society, and even politics. As a pro-Localist journalist wrote in hkej.com last February, "(There is) a growing sense of hopelessness engulfing Hong Kong people". Dissatisfaction with their economic plight easily translates into grievances against the Hong Kong government and the existing process for electoral democracy in the enclave.
Especially in the wake of the "Occupy Central" demonstrations that brought key thoroughfares and districts in Hong Kong to a standstill in 2014, groups with Localist sympathies have since galvanized into political parties dedicated to full-fledged Hong Kong independence either now or in the post 'One Country, Two Systems' world after 2047. They include Hong Kong Indigenous, Hong Kong National Party, and Youngspiration with the latter and Demosisto, another radical grouping, calling for a referendum on independence after "One Country, Two Systems" ends. Still others advocate a return to British rule such as the Hong Kong Independence Party and the Alliance of Resuming British Sovereignty over Hong Kong and Independence.
But, these groups represent an extremist fringe of the populace. A survey conducted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) over the summer showed only 17.4% of respondents sympathetic to the prospect of becoming independent after 2047 and a mere 3.6% stating that independence is "possible". Opponents of Hong Kong independence cite several reasons for the improbability of actual secession: For one thing, Article I of the Basic Law stipulates Hong Kong is an inalienable part of China and so advocacies for independence have no legal basis. Second, Most Hong Kongers trace their ancestry and kinship to the mainland not to mention sharing language and culture. Nathan Law Kwun-chung of Demosisto and Edward Leung of Hong Kong Indigenous, for instance, were both born on the mainland.
In practical terms, devoid of any major natural resources, Hong Kong is overwhelmingly dependent on the mainland for the basic necessities of life – food, water and electricity. In fact, the produce and meats that Hong Kongers consume are some of the most premium products exported from neighbouring Guangdong and other provinces. In terms of economic growth, Hong Kong benefits immensely from its close association with Shenzhen across the border and other manufacturing and high-tech hubs in the Pearl River Delta. The mainland is Hong Kong's largest trading partner and thus crucial to Hong Kong's continued prosperity. As China gradually supplants the US as the global superpower, movements to distance Hong Kong from the mainland can only be folly.
Most important, with memories of the Century of Humiliation still fresh in the minds of the Chinese people, no central Chinese government, whether Communist or of any other ilk, can/will tolerate any moves toward secessionism on the part of Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet or Xinjiang. In Hong Kong's case, a People's Liberation Army (PLA) garrison is stationed in the heart of the city. You can be sure with the mainland's growing political wisdom and economic might coupled with military strength and prowess, any armed rebellion, let alone referenda, for formal Hong Kong independence will be put down with prejudice.
As election night results showed a win for Donald Trump, nervous Americans considering an exit strategy apparently crashed Canada's immigration website. The site has been working intermittently throughout the night with high levels of traffic.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau entertained the idea of welcoming Americans fleeing a Trump presidency in March. But, Canadians are not keen on the idea.
A poll released Tuesday shows the overwhelming majority of the nation is opposed to easing immigration policies in the event of a Trump victory. The poll, conducted by Mainstreet Research and Postmedia Network Inc., also reveals that most Canadians would support Clinton for U.S. president.
"This election has been quite divisive south of the border and many Canadians are anxious about the outcome on Tuesday," said Quito Maggi, president of Mainstreet Research.
The "New Road for Telecoupling Global Prosperity and Ecological Sustainability" report by Michigan State University scholars states China's ambitious One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative, involving more than 100 countries and international organizations, could create routes filled with opportunity.
The authors use the new integrated telecoupling framework, which allows scientists to understand and govern the interconnections of socioeconomic and environmental issues that span the globe. The approach factors in changes that ripple across regions, accounting for what otherwise might be unforeseen and unintended consequences.
The stakes are particularly high with environmental concerns such as climate change, air and water pollution and food security demanding immediate solutions, said Jack Liu, director of the Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability (CSIS) and the Rachel Carson Chair in Sustainability at Michigan State.
"Environmental challenges like climate change; biodiversity loss; desertification; air, water, soil, and ocean pollution; and natural disasters rarely honor man-made borders, so now is the time to start building mechanisms to create environmental wins. But this also requires a sophisticated way of understanding the impacts that come with change," he said.
The report recommends roles for groups like the United Nations in climate adaptation and mitigation, poverty alleviation and other areas. The group also suggests building infrastructure to allocate people, resources and energy equitably and efficiently; boost technological transfer with cultural and religious exchanges, and so on.


Driven by the urge to unite "halal" and "gourmet," Mohamad Fakih built himself a beautiful butcher shop in Mississauga.
Actually, the Lebanese-Canadian entrepreneur built Paramount Butcher Shop for his wife Hanan after she complained about the grungy state of halal meat counters and asked him to do something about it.
Hanan yearned for an upscale shop, something like a place called Goodies that her mother-in-law takes her to in Beirut.
Mohamad, who owns the burgeoning Paramount Fine Foods restaurant chain, polled customers and discovered they all want the same three things in a halal butcher shop.
The shop should be clean. The staff should be polite and friendly. And since everyone is time-starved, there should be lots of items "marinated with Middle Eastern flavours" alongside raw product.
Mohamad visited non-halal competitors and researched fine butcher shops in London, Paris and Australia before designing his own 3,400-sq.-ft. shop.
Paramount Butcher Shop opened March 16 in Kee Square on Heritage Hills Blvd. at Eglinton Ave. W.
Help yourself to free Turkish coffee when you arrive. Take a number and a staff member will help you move from the meat counter (beef, veal and lamb) to the chicken counter (kept separate to avoid any cross-contamination) to the deli counter.
There are windows to the meat locker, where meat is dry-aged. The meat counters are left exposed at the bottom so customers can see the floors underneath. Mohamad is as proud of his meat saw as he is of the spray-foam sanitizing system for the back room floors.
It's not every butcher shop that boasts an indoor charcoal barbecue so customers (especially those living in condos) can get meat grilled to order.
Mohamad happily jumped through hoops to get the grill permit. He has charcoal grills at his four restaurants in Toronto, Thornhill, Mississauga and (any day now) London, Ont.
He bought the struggling Paramount chain in 2007 and transformed it into a vibrant and growing empire that employs 250 people, many of them young and non-Muslim.
The Middle Eastern/Mediterranean restaurants showcase freshly grilled foods and breads.
Animals should be slaughtered manually, not mechanically, by a Muslim who says the name of Allah aloud. But to Mohamad, halal is about more than just slaughter. It's about being conscientious about how animals are raised, a philosophy that dovetails nicely with the local food movement and the fact that consumers are asking more questions about what they eat.
Mohamad has lived in Canada for 13 years and got his start at Tim Hortons. Sure, his restaurants and butcher shops cater to Muslims looking for halal food, but he courts and welcomes non-Muslims.
He's already at work on a second butcher shop, set to open in Mississauga's west end this fall.

Wasan—a unique form of Japanese mathematics—was developed during the Edo period (1603–1868), a time when the entire country was isolated from the rest of the world. Mathematics was enjoyed as a form of entertainment by adults and children alike and by people of all social classes. Jinkōki, an extraordinary mathematics textbook, was used at private elementary schools called terakoya and became a bestseller that could be found in every household. Furthermore, world-class works were produced by Japanese mathematicians such as Seki Takakazu and Takebe Katahiro.

Red Cross in need of blood donations
ATKINSON, N.H. (AP) -New Hampshire is in need of blood donations, according to a spokeswoman for the American Red Cross New England Region.
Levels are low this time of year because people are on vacation, said Donna Morrissey.
"Typically we feel most comfortable with a three- to five-day supply," she said. Most hospitals are on a one-day supply for blood, she said.
The Red Cross is hosting blood drives to try to address the shortage.
Morrissey noted that all types of blood are in need, but those with Type O blood are most sought after because they are "universal donors" – their blood is generally compatible with any blood type, she said.
Karen Faria of Kingston, who recently gave blood at a blood drive in Atkinson on Friday, said she believes many people don't donate blood because they are scared, but she doesn't think there is a reason to be. She said she has donated blood every two or three months for several years.
"I thought it was something I could do to help people," she said. "But I hear a lot of people don't like to do it."
One way the Red Cross is trying to encourage people to give blood is through raffles and giveaways at their drives, Morrissey said. Those who register to give blood this summer in southern New Hampshire can enter a raffle for a one-year lease on a Porsche, among other prizes.
Restaurant gift certificates and a raffle for Red Sox tickets were part of the reason that Jeff Mceachern of Hampstead and Trent Gelo of Derry, both 17, decided to give blood.
"I'm here because it's a good cause," Mceachern said while waiting to donate Friday. "And there's lots of free stuff, too."

Five 3-hour sessions (9am – 12 noon).
From September 2014, nationally around 40 per cent of 2-3 year olds will also be eligible for government-funded hours - click here for more information.
In order to supplement this contribution from West Berkshire, a voluntary contribution of £1.45/hour for the funded hours your child or children attend is requested.
Your child is obviously welcome to attend the Pre-school for more than 15 hours per week. These extra hours are charged at £5.90 per hour (for all ages).
Parents will be asked by the Pre-school to fill in a form at the beginning of each term to state how many sessions they would like to claim, and the Pre-school will claim the grant from West Berkshire Council on their behalf. Parents will then be invoiced for the cost of other hours their child attends the Pre-school along with the supplemental hourly charge. Fees are invoiced every half-term and half a term in advance.
Please settle these fees promptly, as we rely on these fees to cover our running costs such as staff salaries and rent. If you are unable to meet the cost of fees, please speak to our Treasurer in confidence as there may be sources of help available. Refunds are not available for non-attendance, however unwanted sessions may be swapped between parents at the Lead Teacher's discretion. We require a half terms' notice in writing of your child leaving, or fees in lieu of notice will be charged.
Streatley Hill Pre-school also requests an additional per full term voluntary contribution of £35 per student (£20 per sibling). This will be billed at £17.50 per the 1/2 term billing cycle (£10 sibling).
Pre-school is open to every family wishing to use it, but we find that the core group are those who are likely to attend Streatley Primary School. Children can first attend the term after their 2nd birthday. (Attending the pre-school will have no bearing on whether your child is successful in attaining a place at Streatley School). You are invited to visit the pre-school and talk to staff and parents before you complete a registration form.
Please call 01491 875247 or email lt1streatleyhillpreschool@gmail.com for more information on registration. During the holidays and out of office hours, please leave a message or send an email and someone will contact you as soon as possible.

When Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino fired Botkin after the 2009 season, he had a chance to work at Cornell and Tulane. But his wife Rebecca's father was laid up with heart and diabetes problems in an intensive care unit in Little Rock, Ark. While talking with McClure, Botkin found out Texas High had an opening, and the school was just 145 miles from Little Rock — a perfect fit.
Botkin spent two seasons there and is now one of four new assistants who debuted at South Carolina this spring. Of the new coaches, Botkin, 41, took perhaps the most winding path to Columbia — from playing in the NFL to coaching at (and getting fired from) his alma mater to recharging himself by returning to a high school setting, where he first fell in love with football.
Botkin grew up in Baytown, Texas, just east of Houston. His father, Danny, coached some high school and mostly junior high football there for 35 years. Botkin and his brother, Keith, rode the school bus to games with the team, picked up balls and towels on the sideline and celebrated after wins by letting the players throw them and their dad into the locker room showers with their clothes on — a memory that still makes Botkin laugh.
Danny was no pushover. In the summers, he made Botkin and his brother earn money by mowing lawns and painting houses in the 100-degree heat. But the boys kept every dime.
That work ethic pushed Botkin to become an All-SEC tight end at Arkansas, and battle through knee injuries during a four-year NFL career, from 1994-97.
Botkin knew South Carolina defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward from Arkansas. Ward spent only the 2008 season there, but when he and Botkin arrived, they were randomly paired as roommates in a two-bedroom apartment while they looked for houses for their families. Botkin didn't know Ward before that, but after living together for four months and working long hours, they became good friends, and their wives did, too.
Between Botkin's trust in Ward as his boss, the chance to coach in the SEC again and Botkin's father-in-law improving, taking this next turn in his coaching career was an easy choice.
"That's really what I was looking for — to have a chance to win, but also work with good people," Botkin said.

Unbecoming by Rebecca Scherm
Published by Penguin Books
Publication date: December 1st 2015
Genres: Fiction, Mystery, Suspense
Unbecoming follows a young woman named Grace from present day Paris to New York City and even Garland, Tennessee, slipping back and forth as her story and life unspool. In Paris, she is not even Grace but calls herself Julie and works for a woman who restores antiques and pays cash. As a young girl there was no stability in her life so when she met Riley in the fourth grade she fell not only for him but for his entire boisterous, loving family. Soon she spends more time with them than her own family and when they turn eighteen she and Riley secretly marry. So much love and sunshine, but by twenty-two, she's in a dingy Paris apartment, her husband and his best friend will be getting out of prison soon for a museum heist that she planned and her already shadowy life is sliding slowly into something much darker. How did things go so wrong?
The universe would give you whatever you wanted if you twisted its arm hard enough.
Maybe because Grace wants so much. Actually, Grace covets. Covets things, covets money, covets people—starting with Riley's family. And then, maybe some of the things that remind her of them. Or a painting that she would never be able to afford on her own. Or maybe she desires most of all to be someone other than who she is. Author Rebecca Scherm teases the reader by letting Grace divulge bits and pieces of her reality through the pages and yet, with each new piece of information much is still withheld.
Grace could never have more than one friend at a time. Any more and it became harder to keep track of how they knew her, what she had told them, which pieces went where.
The core of Unbecoming is the slipperiness of identity. At first it is as innocuous as being a teenager and not knowing who you are yet, so trying on new identities to see what fits. But as the novel progresses it becomes clear that while Grace may initially seem to have been a young girl who was a victim she soon learned how to best maneuver through the world. Scherm is as shifty as she is by parsing out the details of Grace's life slowly to create maximum tension. There is a feel of The Talented Mr. Ripley in the psychology of the novel as it slides between deep and shallow- Grace believes she is unlovable so she acts that way. She says she is hard on herself but only to continue with actions she knows are not right. And her illegal and unethical acts are justified because she is only perpetrating them on bad people or people who don't care.
In her very choice of title, Scherm plays with words as the novel plays with our minds. Is it simply Grace's actions that are unbecoming or is she is constantly in the process of un-becoming?

Sounds interesting, but perhaps not enthralling! 🙂
Cynthia Robertson says
Oh, The Talented Mr. Ripley is one of my all time favorites. Your comparison has me intrigued, Catherine. Adding this title to the list!
I'll be so interested to see what you think! I still can't quite decide if Scherm pulls it off or not quite but with your writer's skills it may be more clear.


The Miss Beauty nail polish range, exclusive to Poundworld, isn't just about nail colour, they also offer a range of toppers including gold glitter, silver glitter, blush top coat, matte top coat and a pearl top coat which changes the base colour, and all at £1.
I've teamed up Purple with Gold Speckle top coat. Purple is a gorgeous deep plum and the Gold Speckle is a clear base with fine glitter particles to give a delicate sparkle to your nails. I wore this combo to my work's Christmas party, yes I've already had my office party! The Gold Speckle will look great over lots of shades.
Miss Beauty cosmetics are exclusive to Poundworld so you guessed it, it only costs £1 and a decent size 12ml bottle. If you're on a budget or just don't want to pay over the top prices for nail polish I highly recommend this brand. Next time you're in Poundworld check out the Miss Beauty cosmetics stand and be prepared to swoon over the generous nail polish range.


Humans existed before their mastery of fire, albeit in a rather primitive state -- and yes, even Earth itself knew an age when fire itself was not only scarce, but chemically impossible. In this two-part episode of Stuff to Blow Your Mind, Robert and Joe venture back to a time before the flame and consider the curious, interconnected ascension of man and fire. In part one, explore the chemistry of a flameless Earth and the possibility of alien technology without fire.

Anomalous Origin of the Coronary Arteries: An Account of Six Cases
Laxman Dubey College of Medical Sciences and Teaching Hospital
DOI: https://doi.org/10.31729/jnma.598
Anomalous origin of coronary arteries is a rare type of congenital anomalies with a low incidence. It
is considered an incidental finding without clinical significance, however, these abnormalities may
be responsible for angina pectoris, heart failure, arrhythmias and increased risk of sudden death. In
this paper, six cases that were diagnosed with anomalous origin of coronary arteries confirmed by
coronary angiography has been described and also briefly reviewed the literature concerning current
views and therapy of this abnormality.

The much anticipated release by the Nelons has finally been released…in Part 1 and Part 2! I am still scratching my head on the thought process behind releasing 2 CDs that are very similar in feel and dynamics…but nonetheless, this review is focusing on Family Harmony. This recording features the vibrant and soaring harmonies that have been the hallmark of the Nelons sound for now 3 generations.
The recording starts off with an energetic rendition of the classic, "I JUST CAN'T MAKE IT BYSELF". With a bit of a Cajun feel to it and a really cool key change leading in to the final chorus, the Nelons definitely put their own unique spin on this fun song before slowing down as Kelly turns in an impassioned performance on, "GREATER THINGS".
The tempo picks back up for the brass infused, driving sound of "DAYS OF JERICHO", which features the soaring vocals of Amber Nelon Thompson. This driving song reminds of something the Martins would sing, before the tempo down as Autumn Nelon Thompson steps up to sing the anthem, "IMAGINE ALLELUIA". Jason steps up next to sing the classic, "SUPPERTIME", with Bill Gaither making an appearance doing the recitation. In keeping with the sentimental theme, the nostalgic "WHEN GRANDPA SANG AMAZING GRACE" follows.
Jason steps back up to sing the honest song, "DON'T GIVE UP ON ME" before the tempo picks back up for the fun novelty classic, "SONGS THAT ANSWER QUESTIONS", which feature all the members of the Nelons.
Amber closes out the recording with a phenomenal performance of the Dottie Rambo classic, "WE SHALL BEHOLD HIM".
The recording is kind of a mosaic of various styles…you have some with the more country/acoustic feel, you have the big band/pop infused numbers and big ballads topped with a bit of Cajun spice. It's like the group couldn't quite nail down a style they wanted to be identified with. It's an excellent recording featuring innovative arrangements, soaring vocals, excellent musicianship, a strong song selection and is superbly produced. I am a bit disappointed with only 9 tracks though and feel the average listener isn't getting a full bang for their buck.


#67 - What Is Toxic Masculinity?
In the wake of the recent shootings in Parkside High School, actor and comedian Michael Ian Black commented that "Deeper than the gun problem is this: boys are broken."
As we all live more and more of our lives on the Internet, we spend more time communicating through text. Texting is awesome; you've got time to think about what to say, you can proof-read things a few times to make sure you don't say anything stupid.
What do you do when it's time get a gift for your girlfriend or wife?

Q: Configurable product with multiple color variations I have one product that comes in 12 colors and 4 sizes of each color. The problem is it comes in navy blue and royal blue. The color for each of these is listed as blue, to make our layered navigation easier for the customer to use. In doing so magento won't let me attach both colors to the configurable. If I use a third option for color swatch when creating a configurable there are 3 dropdowns on the buy page where there should be 2. If I use color swatch/size to create, then the layered navigation doesn't work.
Is there another solution, maybe to make the configurables not require a unique value for color?

A: In this case the easiest way would be to create 2 color attributes. Let's say color_navigate and color_dropdown.
color_navigate would be used in the layered navigation

*

*type: Dropdown

*scope: Global

*Use To Create Configurable Product: No

*Use In Layered Navigation: Filterable (with results)

*Visible on Product View Page on Front-end: No

*Options: Blue, Red, Green (etc)

color_dropdown would be used for selecting a product to buy

*

*type: Dropdown

*scope: Global

*Use To Create Configurable Product: Yes

*Use In Layered Navigation: No

*Visible on Product View Page on Front-end: No

*Options: Royal blue, Baby blue, Dark red, Crimson Red, Army green (etc)

The only downside is that the admin needs to select a color option twice but on the frontend the result is exactly what you want

Q: Spring + Quartz, Trigger is null I'm dwelling with Quartz from days..
I need to create, the app starts, some triggers and job details..
So, this is my Job
@DisallowConcurrentExecution
public class TimeoutJob extends QuartzJobBean{

    public final String ID = "idInterruttore";

    private final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(TimeoutJob.class);

    @Autowired InterruttoreService interruttoreService;

    @Override
    protected void executeInternal(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException {

        JobDataMap dataMap = context.getJobDetail().getJobDataMap();
        int idInterruttore = dataMap.getIntFromString(ID);
        Interruttore interruttore = interruttoreService.findById(idInterruttore);
        logger.debug("Job reached for " + interruttore.getNomeInterruttore());

    }
}

Then i configure some bean in QuartzConfiguration.java
@Configuration
@ComponentScan("it.besmart")
public class QuartzConfiguration {

    @Autowired
    ApplicationContext applicationContext;

    @Bean
    public SchedulerFactoryBean scheduler() {
        SchedulerFactoryBean schedulerFactory = new SchedulerFactoryBean();
        schedulerFactory.setJobFactory(springBeanJobFactory());
        return schedulerFactory;
    }

    @Bean
    public SpringBeanJobFactory springBeanJobFactory() {
        AutoWiringSpringBeanJobFactory jobFactory = new AutoWiringSpringBeanJobFactory();
        jobFactory.setApplicationContext(applicationContext);

        return jobFactory;
    }
}

Now, I have a JobManager.class which manage jobDetails and Triggers
@Service("jobManager")
public class JobManager {

    private final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(JobManager.class);

    @Autowired
    SchedulerFactoryBean scheduler;

    @Autowired
    InterruttoreService interruttoreService;

    @PostConstruct
    public void createInitialJobs() {
        logger.debug("Start ut jobs to create");
        List<Interruttore> interruttori = interruttoreService.findAllSwitches();
        Date now = new Date();
        for (int i = 0; i < interruttori.size(); i++) {
            Interruttore interruttore = interruttori.get(i);
            if (interruttore.getTimeoutDate().after(now) && interruttore.isStato()) {
                // JobDetail and Trigger creation
                createJob(interruttore, interruttore.getTimeoutDate());
            }
        }

    }

    public void createJob(Interruttore interruttore, Date richiesta) {

        JobDetailFactoryBean jobDetail = new JobDetailFactoryBean();
        jobDetail.setJobClass(TimeoutJob.class);
        jobDetail.setName("Job detail for " + interruttore.getNomeInterruttore());
        jobDetail.setDescription("Job Description");
        jobDetail.setDurability(true);

        Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String,Integer>();
        map.put("idInterruttore", interruttore.getIdInterruttore());
        jobDetail.setJobDataAsMap(map);

        long future = richiesta.getTime() - new Date().getTime();
        logger.debug("next timeout is " + future / 1000 / 60 + " minuti for " + interruttore.getNomeInterruttore());

        //trigger creation
        SimpleTriggerFactoryBean trigger = new SimpleTriggerFactoryBean();
        trigger.setName("myTrigger"+interruttore.getNomeInterruttore());
        trigger.setGroup("timeoutTriggers");
        trigger.setJobDetail(jobDetail.getObject());
        trigger.setStartDelay(0);
        trigger.setRepeatCount(1);
        trigger.setRepeatInterval(future);
        trigger.afterPropertiesSet();
        logger.debug("Trigger for " + interruttore.getNomeInterruttore());
        logger.debug("Trigger object is :" + trigger.getObject());
        logger.debug("Next Trigger date " + trigger.getObject().getFinalFireTime());

        try {
            scheduler.getScheduler().scheduleJob(jobDetail.getObject(), trigger.getObject());
        } catch (SchedulerException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

When launching the app, the @PostConstruct method tries to create the triggers, but i'm getting an exception when creating jobManager
Application startup failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'jobManager': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException

caused by
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
    at org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SimpleTriggerFactoryBean.afterPropertiesSet(SimpleTriggerFactoryBean.java:231)
    at it.besmart.quartz.JobManager.createJob(JobManager.java:85)
    at it.besmart.quartz.JobManager.createInitialJobs(JobManager.java:54)

which is
trigger.afterPropertiesSet();

as my triggers are not created...

A: There is a bug in the spring-context-support jar 4.2.5 version.
        sti.setJobKey(this.jobDetail.getKey());

i.e. jobDetail can be null.
In the new versions it is fixed. I checked 4.3.2 version.
You can use 4.3.2 or later.
In 4.3.2 version
if (this.jobDetail != null) {
        sti.setJobKey(this.jobDetail.getKey());
    }


In addition to maintaining the outside look of your car, you also need to keep it clean on the inside. Here's how to take care of leather & car interior.
Taking care of your car interior is just as important as cleaning the exterior of your car. Most of us spend our Sunday mornings cleaning and detailing our car's exterior but we inevitably ignore the most important part of our car-the interiors.
Since you'll be staying and smelling the interior of your car, you might as well give it the lovin' it deserves. Cleaning the outside can be as simple as a trip to the car wash and having a comprehensive wax job. But maintaining the inside of your car can be tricky and it is not that easy. Here are some tips to keep your car's interior neat and clean.
Vacuuming the seats and the carpet of your car is still the best way to keep your car interiors clean and sanitary. It is not only the most efficient way to eliminate dust and dirt beneath the floor mats and on the top of your seats. It is also an effective way to remove the debris and waste which accumulates in every corner of your car.
If you really want the best outcome, use a high powered vacuum which comes with various accessories so that you can clean the hard-to-reach areas of your car. The accessories will help you to reach those tricky places and will clean out those dirty materials within a blink of an eye.
A coin operated vacuum is a good option to go for. You will find these at car washes. But even with all these instruments, when it comes to cleaning the floor mats, you will need to take out the mats from your car and give them a good shake to get rid of that excess dirt before you start vacuuming.
Vacuuming can do an excellent job in getting rid of dirt from the carpets, floor mats, and seats. But there are some places in your car that need special care with extra TLC. After you get rid of the pollutant material, it may leave some marks or spots. Sometimes it leads to the discoloration of the fabric.
To get rid of these stains, use a carpet and upholstery cleaner. These cleaners use specially formulated chemicals which go deep into your seats and carpets but without damaging them. Keep in mind that these are powerful chemicals and you would want to avoid a high amount of moisture because these chemicals encourage mold development. In case of mats, you will find high quality floor mats in the stores which are already coated with Scotchgard. In case of rubber floor mats, a good power wash will get rid of that stubborn dirt and grime from your car.
If you have spent a lot of money and bought leather seats for your car, you need to take good care of them. Keep them in their best shape. Besides looking bad, it may also significantly decrease your car's resale value. A high power vacuum is an excellent way to remove the surface dust from any seat. This is the initial step. But to take exceptional care of your precious leather seats you need to use special leather cleaner followed by a leather conditioner to add another protective layer.
You may not have noticed it as you are looking at the road while driving; your car's dashboard collects a lot of dirt and dust. So after the initial vacuuming phase you need to use a microfiber dust cloth on the dashboard to remove the dirt that may have missed by the vacuum cleaner, to give it a new shiny look.
After this, use a protectant like Armor All, straight on to the dashboard to keep it from fading, cracking and peeling. These protectants prevent sun's UV rays from damaging the color of your interior. The steering wheel is also a part of the dashboard so you need to need to put some protectant on it too.
Ever driven a car with dirty windows? It's a pain, right? The dirt and grime can block your view of the road and your side mirror. Clean windows mean greater visibility. You need to get rid of different smears, fingerprints etc. It will give you a better view of the outside as well as make your car look gorgeous.
Buy a glass cleaner that uses a water repellent formula which will wipe away water easily and give you better visibility. Just use something that won't leave any mark on the glass. But beware that glass cleaners do not work well with tinted windows; they can also damage the heating materials which de-frost and fog your windshield. Glass cleaners you use on the house windows have ammonia, which in time will make the heating materials useless.
Floor carpets and the car ceiling are the most used and the most tortured part of the interior. It attracts the most dirt and grime. To keep all of it good as new, proper cleaning at the right time is a must. After vacuuming, get hold of a soft yet sturdy brush and rub the carpet and the ceiling with an all-round cleaning solution. You can find a lot of cleaners in the market now. Work your way slowly and steadily attacking each and every corner. This will get rid of those tough stains and spots. After this cleaning process, do not forget to dry the whole area with a microfiber towel to have a clean and shiny car ceiling and carpeting.
Following the above steps can help you to get a nice, clean and tidy interior in no time! This will effectively enhance the overall appeal of your car. But to keep your car's interior in the best shape possible even after an extensive cleaning and detailing process, you need to make sure that your car is organized. An organized vehicle is easy to clean and it looks good too. If you store your items in the trunk, a trunk organizer might come in handy. The items like visor organizers and dash caddies and seat organizers help you to keep your car in top shape and cleaning dust and filth with vacuum becomes trouble-free. Subsequent cleaning processes get much easier as well.

I don't know about y'all but it feels like lately we have been eating out more than usual and it is usually the same old haunts every time. This is probably a result of my back injury and my wife being out of town on a semi regular basis for the last few months. It is also partially my fault because I mainly eat American and Italian foods and it's easy to stick with what you know. I am not a fan of beans or rice really and try to stay away from spicy foods so it eliminates alot of options.
So to try to help spice things up, I am looking for something different than my regular haunts. Any suggestions out there? Preferably in Howard County, but anywhere in the close proximity would be fine. If you follow my blog on its somewhat regular basis, you will know that I am certainly a fan of pizza!
has anyone noticed that everyone is still texting while driving? la st year, maryland took the first steps into the giving out fines for texting while driving, but it was a secondary offense so no one really cared. now this year, back in october, the new texting law went into affect and yet everyone is still texting while driving.
on a daily basis, i see lots of people texting while driving (myself included on occasion). the most interesting person i've notice that are texting while driving is the police. all levels of police, local, state, auxiliary, etc. and all the time. i guess no one, including law enforcement, still cares about the new texting while driving law in maryland.
Drivers who are ticketed can still choose to accept guilt and pay a $70 fine (plus one point on their license). If the texting leads to an accident, accepting guilt means an automatic $110 fine and three points.
Drivers who contest the tickets and lose in court will be guilty of a misdemeanor and have to pay the full $500.
guess everyone will just plead guilty and not care about the fine/point if they get caught? i'll pass. not worth the point or the fine.
oh yeah, and don't forget to watch out for new speed cameras in Howard County! locations are listed on the police website and it's a $40 fine if caught.
But not together. Last week my wife was out of town ruling the world and doing a great job at her job. Meanwhile, I was home making the bacon as we like to joke especially since she doesn't eat bacon. Sometimes on my off Fridays I will catch an early movie and this past Friday, I caught Tower Heist. It stars Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, and a host of other characters. It's a cross between a comedy and a heist movie. The basic premise is the same as the Bernie Madoff case. The Madoff like character doesn't sell any of his assets and gets to say in his apartment on house arrest. Ben Stiller's character and his co-workers break into the apartment and the movie continues from there. It was probably a B movie. Entertaining and some what light hearted but semi serious at other times.
Meanwhile after a week of dinners out, I continued my gluttony and caught dinner at a new pizza place for me called Pazani. It was suggested here on my blog and since we all know I love pizza, I went and checked it out. It's off of Marshalee Dr. by Timbers of Troy Golf Course. The restaurant is a nice family friendly atmosphere and is like Trattoria da Enrico or many of the other local pizza places; however, they have a larger selection and a catering menu. The restaurant was a little smaller than I had expected from looking at the menu and there were about 5 or 6 other groups there, mostly with families, and they filled up the majority of the restaurant. Anyway, I got the small pizza with sausage… a standard for me. It was pretty tasty and had a nice crisp crust. It seemed a little greaser than some other places but it didn't really sway me away from going back if I am in the area.
As a lone wolf that night, I enjoyed my pizza and caught a look at what others were eating. Many people had different varieties of pasta meals which also looked good and others of course had pizza. One group had the calamari which was a generous portion and others had the cheese steak and salads. The regular menu and the catering menu had a large selection so you could go often and get something different to eat there or for a party at your house. I will definitely go back again.
Also, thanks to @howchowblog for linking to my other pizza article earlier in the week.
It's interesting living in the same community that you grew up in. Although I grew up in Ellicott City and now live in Columbia, we all visit the same places because it's essentially one in the same in Howard County.
Lately, I've seen alot of the people I grew up with. I ran into an old high school friend at Bagel Bin two weeks ago when I was grabbing breakfast randomly on my day off. Then this past Saturday I saw another old friend at the Columbia Mall and we were reminiscing about when we came to the mall as kids and it was the cool thing to do. Now it sometimes seems more like a chore. Interesting how things have changed. She also has 3 kids so things have really changed from when we middle schoolers riding the bus to school.
My mom even went to a baby shower for an old friend of mine whose wife is having their first child next month. All of our close friends' moms were there updating everyone on each others kids so in less than 2 weeks, I've gotten updates on half of the kids I grew up with. With that and my lifelong best friend living in DC, it is a small world.
Unfortunately our 10 year high school reunion got cancelled so I will just have to see all those other kids around town instead.
Are you a "to do list" person? I am not really a big one myself but know lots of people who are. With the Droid, you have the built in to do list widget and I use it mostly for notes, although it has one thing to do on it. Blog more. That's my to do list. I am not a person who needs a list to remember to fold the laundry and clean the house. Those are things that I would think that you do on a regular basis.
I don't even make a list of things I need to do at work unless something is overly important. Maybe it's too much rigor for me, I don't know but I don't feel like it fits for me.
What about you? I am going to work on mine and blog more (assuming I remember).
