Thats more along the diet i thought NPF would be eating. But i guess any calorie is a good calorie in his case.
I really love the way hes added quality transfers at G in Woods and Walker to give the younger guys time to develop. We are set up to be competitive each year while still focusing on a major championship push a year or two away.
Over 20 minutes ago possibly with overtime.
Really thought Kaleb was gonna nail that 3. Gonna consider the foul on Andre a makeup call for the "kick"
Didnt know he was Ceded the BIG title. How cowardly of the Penn State squad, but i guess theyre doing something right overall.
Am I missing a joke or did you typo both names?
Love the optimism and agree we have the potential for sure. In October we will see how much of that potential is showing up on the field. I hope all we imagined now and more! Go Bucks!
I want to agree with you but i need to see it on the field first. I think the D will improve but will the offense keep up?
Couple years ago when they got a bunch of big name free agents and they were trendy SB picks. Now they are blowing that team up this year and tanking for next year. Dwayne isnt a good QB for a bad team.
Ill take a team with Lighty, Craft, and Diebs over any buckeye team i can rememeber. Let Zion get his in the paint, but lock down the perimiter and trade 3s for 2s when we can.
College Basketball big in the both of those markets though. Decent consolation prize but Maryland/Rutgers arent quite Georgetown/Syracuse either though.

Q: OptiFine is freezing fluid animations. How do I fix it? So, on OptiFine, when I pour down a bucket of water, it starts flowing, like it should. The thing is, the flowing water is not animated. In my animation settings (under video settings), Water Animated is set to ON. What is causing the water to stay still, and how do I make it animated?
(This is on OptiFine HD G9_pre16 Ultra. (1.17))
This also applies to lava and fire.

A: This is an issue that other people have had with OptiFine 1.17. It has been fixed in the newer preview.
The 1.17 version of OptiFine is still in preview, so bugs like this are expected. Just go back to the downloads page on optifine.net and download the latest preview, or if it has fully released by the time you read this, download the non-preview version.

Advancing the Legacy of Dr. ChamberlainAdministrator2020-08-11T14:21:07-04:00
Mariam K. Chamberlain Fellowship in Women and Public Policy Receives $95,000 Challenge Grant
D r. Mariam K. Chamberlain, a founding member of the Institute for Women's Policy Research and the founding president of the National Council for Research on Women, was the driving force behind the cultivation and sustainability of the women's studies field of academic research. Throughout her life, Dr. Chamberlain fought discrimination, established new roles for women, and championed the economic analysis of women's issues. She passed away on April 2, 2013, at 94, just a few weeks shy of her 95th birthday, following complications from heart surgery.
In 1950, Mariam Chamberlain received her Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University, making her one of the few women of her generation to earn a Ph.D. in the field. In 1956, Dr. Chamberlain joined the Ford Foundation, where she served as a program officer in Economic Development and Administation, and then Education and Public Policy. While at Ford, she spearheaded the funding of the academic women's research and women's studies movement; she is said to have provided nearly $10 million in support of new feminist initiatives. Her projects fostered a new analysis of women's position in society, expanded women's choices in the university, and supported the development of equality in law. After retiring from the Ford Foundation in 1982, she headed the Task Force on Women in Higher Education at the Russell Sage Foundation. The Task Force's work culminated in a published volume, Women in Academe: Progress and Prospects. She played a major role in building the academic infrastructure necessary to better understand women's experiences and inform improved policies for women. In short, she paved the way for organizations like IWPR to thrive, and stocked the research pipeline with skilled women and men who have made important contributions to the study of women and public policy.
Since 2001, IWPR has offered the Mariam K. Chamberlain Fellowship for Women in Public Policy, which prepares recent college graduates for successful careers in research. IWPR named its Fellowship to recognize the legacy of Dr. Chamberlain's tireless efforts to open doors for researchers focusing on women's issues in public policy. The Fellowship has allowed IWPR to expand its research capacity, strengthen its commitment to cultivating the next generation of leaders, and ensure a pipeline of talented researchers and policy experts with knowledge of issues affecting women. To date, 15 young women have gained valuable economic research experience as MKC Fellows at IWPR. Past Mariam K. Chamberlain Fellows currently hold research or policy positions at the U.S. Department of State, SEIU, the Ohio state legislature, and the Pew Center on the States; most pursued doctorate degrees from universities such as Columbia University, Stanford University, The George Washington University, Northwestern University and Brown University; and two will begin their PhD studies in Sociology this fall at Cornell University and the University of Illinois-Chicago. Rhiana Gunn-Wright, IWPR's 2012-2013 Fellow, was recently named a Rhodes Scholar, a first for the Fellowship.
In memory of Dr. Chamberlain and her 95th birthday this year, IWPR has received a $95,000 challenge grant from Mary Rubin and the Borrego Foundation to expand the Fellowship Fund. By contributing to the Fellowship fund this year, you not only double your gift with this matching grant, but you help sustain Dr. Chamberlain's legacy, built on the belief that relying on credible data and research, rather than anecdote and bias, leads to better policies for working women, which in turn contribute to improved long-term outcomes for their families. We are not only launching the next 25 years of making research count for women, but we are also renewing our commitment to cultivating the next generation of women policy leaders.

Validating a Nutrition Ranking System for Food Pantries Using the Healthy Eating Index-2015
By Lauren Dawson
The overall goal of this study is to develop a Healthy Charitable Foods Index that can be used by food banks to translate the pounds by category values into a value that corresponds meaningfully to the USDA's Healthy Eating Index (HEI) scores. The subrecipient will compare a set of foods in the charitable food system More
USDA Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Vendor Criteria: An Examination of US Administrative Agency Variations
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), administered by the United States Department of Agriculture, is associated with improved healthy food and beverage access due to its requirement for minimum stock of healthy foods and beverages in WIC-eligible stores. The selection and authorization criteria used to authorize WIC vendors varies widely More
Food Bank Donations in the United States: A Landscape Review of Federal Policies
Rates of food insecurity have increased substantially in the United States (US), and more families are turning to the charitable food system to help meet their needs. Prior studies have examined the nutritional quality of foods offered through food banks, but little is known about what government policies may shape the healthy food donation landscape. More
Retail Strategies to Support Healthy Eating
Healthy Eating Research (HER), Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and The Food Trust have developed the first national research agenda focused on healthy food retail. The research agenda is the result of a multi-step process, including commissioned research and a Healthy Retail Research convening, which More

Healthy Eating Research Nutrition Guidelines for the Charitable Food System
Federal food programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) are the first line of defense against food insecurity in the United States. However, these benefits are often not sufficient to meet all of the food needs of people living in food insecure More
Assessing Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program families' online food purchasing behaviors to inform policies targeting expansion of SNAP benefits
Online grocery services may be a promising strategy to increase food access by creating systems that increase the self-reliance of communities to meet their food needs; however, there may be unintended consequences that should be considered. Despite the potential to increase healthier choices, individuals may purchase more soft drinks and juices online than fresh produce. More

Frontier Electric of WA – We bring light to your plans.
We are expanding! We are in the permitting process for our new Frontier Electric Building. Look for the construction coming here soon!
Our Heroes Place - New Apartment Complex for downtown Vancouver.
We provide fast and affordable services for your Commercial projects.
For the almost 12 years that I have led Koelsch Construction, Frontier Electric has been our primary "go to" electrical contractor for the many new Koelsch projects that we have developed, as well as the numerous remodel projects that we have undertaken on our existing buildings to keep them fresh and up to date. Even prior to my leading Koelsch Construction, I have partnered with Larry and his team going back some 25 years, and it has always been a positive experience.
Frontier Electric realizes that phones and data are critical components of our business. They have always been prompt and reliable with our maintenance and service needs.
Frontier Electric is a company which champions integrity and complete, honest workmanship. For 16 years I have called upon Frontier Electric for all of my electrical needs. Be it low voltage control applications or high voltage field wiring, Frontier has always provided me with fast reliable service.
I have only been working for Frontier Electric for a short time, however I have gotten to see how much Larry cares for his employees and clients. His character and ethic are rare in an industry that is willing to do anything to make a buck.
From the beginning we decided that being independent would help us to be better workers. We incorporate profit sharing for all our workers to help everybody stay motivated and to provide good quality of work to you, our customer.
Frontier Electric only does commercial projects. Because we only do commercial, we can focus in on what is needed for those types of jobs. We have done everything from just the design of projects to seeing a project through from beginning to end. We stay at our size because we want you to get great customer service, no matter what job you send to us.
We want you to be successful. It is our top priority to run our business successfully while still caring for you, which is rare in our industry. We treat you how we want to be treated, which has distinguished us as a company that others prefer to work with, time and time again.
Larry began Frontier Electric of WA over 30 years ago with the goal of starting a company and be independent. He has kept that up by staying independent of unions and growing the company to where it is at. He has since incorporated profit sharing and has goals of helping his workers to have a good retirement. One of Larry's biggest goals in life is to give back to his workers, his community and his community of faith.
We bring light to your plans.


What's On The Menu – Pasture Raised Chicken: Is It Worth It?
I, like many of you, am faced with a variety of chicken choices when I go to the grocery store each week. Do I buy organic, free-range, pasture raised or conventionally raised? The choices seem to be growing by the year, but is one superior to the other?
Much like beef, I believe that chickens raised in a way that closely resembles the lives their wild ancestors live (e.g. 24/7 access to open pastures & ability to forge for insects and other food sources) provides a better animal welfare situation than that of birds caged in confined quarters.
When looking into potential environmental impacts of pasture raised chickens, the research is mixed. Some individuals contend that pasture raised chickens take more resources to produce (source) while other cite the facts that these chickens eliminate the need for fertilizer and their food sources don't require any herbicides to produce (source).
Those aspects are important to consider when purchasing your chicken, but the main goal of this week's menu spotlight is to determine if pasture raised chicken is nutritionally superiority to its conventional counterpart.
Let's take a quick look at the macronutrients contained in both pasture & conventionally raised chicken. One cup of a roasted chicken breast contains 231 calories, 43 grams (g) of protein, 5 g of fat and 0 g of carbs. It should be noted that different parts of the chicken, skin-on or skin-off, contain different nutritional values. No matter what part of the chicken you prefer, they all contain a substantial amount of protein.
To determine which one is nutritional superior, were going to have to look at their respective micronutrients. Luckily, the American Pastured Poultry Producers Association (APPPA) performed a study in 2013 comparing the micronutritional difference between pasture raised and non-pasture raised chickens. The results of their study showed that pasture raised chickens were higher in vitamin D3 and E, both of which are important to mitigating auto immune diseases.
The APPPA study also discovered that the pasture raised chicken contained an omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acid ratio of 5:1 while the standard 6:3 ratio for conventionally raised chicken is 15:1 (source). This is important because recent research suggest that foods containing large amounts of omega 6's (e.g. vegetable oils & fast food) could lead to inflammatory disease like cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer, and more (source).
After looking at the preliminary evidence, I have reached a verdict: pasture raised chicken is nutritional superior. Yes, a pasture raised chicken from the store or a local farmer could cost 2-3 times more than a conventionally raised chicken, but like the old saying goes "You get what you pay for." If chicken is one of your primary protein sources, and you are interested in optimizing your nutrition, you may want to think about forking over the extra dough.
If you're a regular consumer of pasture raised chicken, I'd love to hear some of your go to recipes. One of my favorite recipes that uses chicken, pasture raised or not, is chicken pot pie soup (recipe link). I skip the pie crust and do my best to use gluten-free ingredients, but I highly recommed you do yourself a favor and make it tonight! Feel free to send a pic of your delicious chicken recipe to us on social media (Facebook, Instagram or Twitter) or you can email it to elementaltampa@gmail.com.

If you've checked out the "About" section of elementaltampa.com you would know that I wasn't always as health conscious as I am right now. There was a point in my life where I didn't care about a food's nutritional content, calories and/or ingredients. My taste buds determined what I ate and that usually meant refined grains and sugar. Pasta, crackers, chips, fast food and of course CANDY! I was fortunate enough to pull up from the nutritional tailspin that I was in and now my cravings for "treats" has evolved.
I discovered that once I kicked processed foods out of my diet, my taste buds started being more appreciative of the flavor of whole foods, especially sweet items. This epiphany marks the point when my love for dark chocolate really began. I always liked chocolate, but it was mainly milk chocolate that consisted of more sugar than actual cacao. Once I modified my diet, I started gravitating more to dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao. I now enjoy Ghirardelli's 86% cacao dark chocolate, which contains less than 2 grams of sugar per 1×1 inch square. I'm trying to condition my taste buds to enjoy the highest cacao content possible not just because it contains no sugar, but because of its numerous health benefits.
Much like the previous menu "spotlights" in this blog, dark chocolate with high cacao %'s contain extremely high levels of antioxidants. These antioxidants reduce the presence of free radicals, which can be responsible for chronic diseases/syndromes like type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension and even cancer. In addition to its antioxidantive properties, dark chocolate may be one of the world's most powerful "brainfoods" (source).
A 2009 study documented an improvement in the cognitive function (e.g. problem solving, memory recall, perception, etc.) of elderly adults that consumed foods rich in flavonoids like dark chocolate. The flavonoids in dark chocolate also promote cerebral blood flow which could help individuals who suffer from dementia or strokes (source). Hopefully these health benefits will motivate you to add a few pieces of dark chocolate to those Easter baskets you may be putting together in a few weeks.
If you have a killer recipe that features dark chocolate, please send it our way. You can post it in the comment section below or email it to us at elementaltampa@gmail.com. Also, please share these blog posts with a friend. Help us spread the good word of proper nutrition.

Katie Couric interviews Ted Cruz
Global Anchor
Ted Cruz joined Yahoo global news anchor Katie Couric on Monday to discuss his campaign, his record, and his new book, "A Time for Truth." Watch a replay of the interview above.
Ted Cruz continued his verbal assault on last week's historic Supreme Court decisions on Monday, saying the justices who ruled in favor of Obamacare and gay marriage "rewrote the Constitution."
"They joined a team, they put on bright-blue Obama jerseys, and they rewrote the law," the U.S. senator from Texas told Yahoo News' Katie Couric during a live sit-down interview from Yahoo's New York City studios. "Those decisions are a threat to our democracy."
Cruz slammed Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote the majority opinion in the Obamacare case on behalf of what the 2016 Republican presidential hopeful called "five unelected lawyers."
"I think the chief justice believes somehow that by rewriting Obamacare, he's keeping the Supreme Court out of politics," Cruz said. "But sadly, these will go down in his legacy as the most political decisions he has ever made. And [they are] violating his oath of office."
The court's decision to effectively legalize same-sex marriage in every state, Cruz said, is a "profound threat to the religious liberty to millions of men and women," regardless of their faith.
The Supreme Court ruling extends to gay couples the ability to apply for and be granted state-issued marriage licenses, but some conservative religious leaders worry about being petitioned directly to take part in services or otherwise recognize marriages their faiths continue to oppose.
"Society has no right to force a Jewish rabbi to perform a Christian wedding ceremony," he said. "Society has no right to force a Muslim imam to perform a Jewish wedding ceremony."
"There's nothing in the Constitution that demands we tear down the marriage laws in every state," Cruz, a conservative Christian, continued. "I am eager to fight for religious liberty."
Couric asked Cruz whether he's out of step with public opinion on gay marriage because 60 percent of Americans believe same-sex marriages should be recognized as legal.
"I'm not at all," Cruz said, blaming "liberals" and Hollywood for pushing the gay-marriage agenda.
The 44-year-old first-term senator vowed to expose what he called the "Washington cartel" in his run for the White House.
"I think it's wrong when our elected leaders are lying to the American people and treating us like we're stupid," the first-term senator said. "People are fed up with politicians who say one thing and do another."
In Cruz's view, that includes Supreme Court justices.
"The Supreme Court represents the elites in New York and Washington, D.C.," Cruz said.

On the issue of the environment, Cruz dismissed climate change as a "pseudoscientific theory."
"Satellite data shows there has been no significant recorded warming. None," Cruz said. "When the satellites are measuring the temperature — it's not happening."
Climate change, he said, "is being driven by politicians who want more control over our lives."
On the subject of terrorism, Cruz criticized President Obama for not correctly defining the threat.
"We cannot defeat radical Islamic terrorism with a president who is unwilling to utter the words 'radical Islamic terrorism,'" Cruz said. "It matters."
The Obama administration, Cruz said, is engaging in what he calls "photo-op foreign policy" — "drop a bomb here, a missile there."
"We should be funding the Kurds and using them as boots on the ground," he said.
Republican candidate and first-term senator Ted Cruz told Yahoo global news anchor Katie Couric, "There is no stronger champion of legal immigration than I am in the Senate." (Photo: Gordon Donovan/Yahoo News)
On immigration, the Canadian-born Texan and son of a Cuban immigrant said America needs to "get serious" about securing its borders.
"There is no stronger champion of legal immigration in the Senate than I am," Cruz said.
But the Texas senator declined to answer the question of what to do with the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States.
"With respect to the people who are here illegally now, I don't think we have to solve everything at once," he said.
Speaking about his chances of winning the Republican nomination, Cruz dismissed polls that show him trailing his GOP rivals despite being the first to launch a campaign.
"I think national polls are almost entirely irrelevant," Cruz said. "I think the energy and enthusiasm we are seeing [on the campaign trail] is incredible."

What: All Issues : Making Government Work for Everyone, Not Just the Rich or Powerful : Insuring Government Has Adequate Financing to Function : HR 1. (Economic stimulus) Motion to preserve a Republican amendment that would cut economic stimulus spending and significantly bolster tax cuts and other tax relief/On the motion (2009 senate Roll Call 45)
HR 1. (Economic stimulus) Motion to preserve a Republican amendment that would cut economic stimulus spending and significantly bolster tax cuts and other tax relief/On the motion
senate Roll Call 45 Feb 05, 2009
This vote was on whether to waive a procedural objection raised against an amendment offered by John McCain, R-Ariz. The amendment was to a bill that is intended to help stimulate the flagging U.S. economy with a $900 billion cash infusion.
Dissatisfied with the Democrats' underlying stimulus bill, Republicans offered several amendments that lowered the total amount of money proposed to be spent overall and relied more on large blocs of tax breaks. This was one of those amendments.
The amendment would have allocated much less spending and instead bolstered the amount of tax breaks in the underlying bill: $421 billion in tax cuts and additional spending, including income tax reductions and corporate tax breaks. It also contained $45 billion for transportation-related infrastructure investments.
"The stimulus package would be a disaster for our children and our grandchildren. It has fundamental policy changes, and it is the biggest spending bill probably in the history of this country," McCain said. "We have legislation which creates jobs, which cuts taxes and spends on infrastructure, more on Defense and the reset, and I believe that is the best for this country. Madam President, we all know we have to stimulate this economy and create jobs. The question is how you do it: profligacy versus, I believe, a mature and responsible approach to reversing and saving our economy," McCain said.
Max Baucus, D-Mont., raised what is known as a "point of order" against the amendment. A "point of order" is a procedural motion senators may bring up when they feel a bill, amendment or other motion violates certain rules set out by Congress to govern itself. Unless senators vote to waive those rules – which usually takes 60 votes, a large margin in the Senate -- the bill, amendment or motion in question can be killed by the point of order. Baucus' point of order charged that McCain's amendment violated the rule that requires all budget-related legislation to be considered by the Senate Budget Committee, which it was not. McCain then made a motion that the rule be waived in this case, which is what this vote was on.
Baucus admitted that no one knows "exactly the precise prescription" to get the economy functioning again.
"But this underlying bill is certainly the best efforts of some of the brightest people to try to find that solution. Economists all say—all say—we need to do something like this to get us going," Baucus said. "The underlying bill is much better than the alternative. The alternative is basically: Don't do it. If we do not do it, gosh, the jobs lost—what you see now, as bad as it is, is just going to pale in comparison to what otherwise is going to happen. So I urge us to stick with the underlying bill, not adopt a substitute which has not been thought through, not aired, but, rather, let's stick with the program we think is going to work."
By a vote of 40-57, the motion to waive the rules was defeated. Every Republican present voted for the motion, while every Democrat present voted against it. The end result is that the motion to waive the rules to allow McCain's amendment to go forward was defeated, and the procedural point of order against the amendment was sustained, thus killing an amendment that would have drastically cut spending in an economic stimulus bill and replace much of what was left with tax cuts.

I'm not sure why, but I've never used RSS feeds. That's not to say that I've never set up RSS feeds, but once set up, I've never used them. I set up pageflakes. I set up Google Reader. I just never went back and read them.
Maybe they weren't integrated into my daily routine. Maybe things were hectic and they fell by the wayside. In any case, with two failed attempts under my belt, I'm trying a third time.
So, in the name of making things easy, this afternoon, I've set them up in Outlook. Outlook is not a hot rod feed reader, but per my previous post, I spend a lot of time there.
This is part of my effort to expand my PLN, so I'd love suggestions of feeds that I should add on the topics of education technology. I want to know what other people are trying in their classrooms. What Web 2.0 are they finding works well and what needs improvement? What motivates students?
Now, wish me luck and here's hoping that the third time will be the charm.

La  (littéralement « vieux vêtements » en espagnol) est une spécialité culinaire espagnole à base de viande déchiquetée, en particulier de poitrine de bœuf, un morceau particulièrement fibreux. Dans certaines régions, on ajoute des tomates et des tranches de boudin noir.

Il est surtout populaire dans la Communauté de Madrid, dans la région de Murcie, en Andalousie, aux Îles Canaries, à Cuba, au Venezuela, en Colombie, au Panama, au Mexique (aussi nommée dans ce pays ), au Costa Rica et à Porto Rico. En Colombie et au Venezuela, il est appelé  ou . Au Costa Rica, il est connu sous les noms  ou . Il existe de nombreuses façons de préparer ce plat qui a de nombreux dérivés.

Histoire
Ce plat aurait été apporté aux Amériques par des immigrants des îles Canaries et aurait été cuisiné pour la première fois à Cuba en 1857, mais il est aujourd'hui bien connu comme plat national cubain. Dans l'histoire de la cuisine espagnole, ce plat serait apparu au cours du Moyen Âge, dans la cuisine séfarade médiévale.

Variantes régionales

Dans la baie de Cadix et une partie de la province de Huelva, ce plat serait dérivé d'un autre plat, le . La viande du  effilochée est mise à mijoter avec des pommes de terre précuites, des pois chiches et des raisins secs. En Castille, la  est un plat dérivé du , le ragoût espagnol. Il est obtenu après avoir retiré le bouillon, en faisant revenir les pois chiches et la viande et les légumes avec de l'œuf. Aux Canaries, la  a gagné le statut de plat à part entière, bien qu'il soit dérivé des restes du . Il a acquis un caractère propre et il est cuisiné directement sans avoir préparé un  auparavant. À la viande et aux pois chiches, on ajoute généralement d'autres ingrédients, en particulier des pommes de terre frites découpées en dés, des piments rouges, de l'ail, de l'oignon, du laurier, du thym et des clous de girofle.

En Colombie et au Venezuela, il est préparé avec un morceau de bœuf appelé , bien qu'on puisse aussi utiliser de l'épaule ou de la bavette. Pour ce qui est des épices, la viande est cuisinée avec des herbes aromatiques (du laurier, de la coriandre, du thym et du clou de girofle). Après la cuisson, la viande est effilochée puis remise à cuire avec son bouillon comme pour un  qui peut inclure des oignons, du poivron, de l'ail, des tomates entre autres légumes généralement découpés en mirepoix.

Dave Weiderman
As Director of the Hollywood RockWalk, Dave Weiderman has arranged and supervised induction ceremonies for scores of popular music's greatest figures. A former working musician himself, he understands the special bond between artist and audience that RockWalk represents.
"When I was a young drummer, I hung out in a Chiacago music store," Weiderman recalls fondly. "I remember how I felt when one of my own heroes would come in and spend some time with us. Those were very positive experiences for me, inspiring me to pursue my own personal dreams."
That spirit of musical camaraderie surfaced again in Weiderman's life when he was managing a music store in Los Angeles during the early 80s. On a whim, he asked visiting Doors drummer John Densmore to autograph a bass drumhead and a local tradition was born; the head soon became a dense tangle of multi-colored signatures. To his pleasant surprise he found that the collection of autographs elicted much enthusiasm, from signers and admirers alike.
Impressed by that warm response and inspired by his own musical heroes, Guitar Center Chairman Ray Scherr expanded on the concept, founding The Hollywood RockWalk in 1985 and turning its day-to-day operations over to Dave Weiderman.
"Call it synchronicity, but the idea for RockWalk actually germinated at about the same time as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame," Weiderman notes. "But we were actually first, probably because we decided to start modestly and let the venue pick up momentum as it grew. Our goals have always been a little more personal; I wanted people coming to RockWalk to experience what I did as a young musician, to get that same good feeling about music and make more of a personal connection with their own musical heroes."
"After ten years the magic of RockWalk is still fresh for me, to be able to stand at one place where so many of my own heroes have been, to look around and see B.B. King, George Martin, Les Paul, Buddy Rich, James Brown, Jimmy Page, Van Halen and so many others. We're all dreamers at heart, and we always admire and respect those who've achieved their own wildest dreams. RockWalk epitomizes that lineage; it's a place where we can all find common ground."

One of the great things about a round side table is that it softens the angles of a room. Unless you live in a geodesic dome home, you know what we mean. Walls are angular, furniture is angular, even throw rugs and paintings are based on square and rectangular shapes. Perhaps that's why this round side table is such a stand out. It interrupts and challenges the eyes while adding highly prized table space to any room in your home.

A special bison destination in the 'Frontier of the Southern Tier'
by Pauline E. Burnes, PLA
You don't need to travel to Custer State Park in South Dakota to experience the incredible splendor of a large herd of bison, more commonly called buffalo. Mud Creek Bison Ranch is located in Savona, NY. The ranch is only 17 miles northwest of the Corning Museum of Glass and Rockwell Museum of Western Art and 14 miles southeast of the Village of Hammondsport and Keuka Lake wine country.

Mud Creek Bison Ranch is a family-owned operation that was established in 2013. Chris Comstock and his father established the herd that consists of the two largest species of bison in North America, the wood bison and the American Plains bison. The wood bison is the largest of North America's native land mammals and is the official National Mammal of the U.S.
The Comstocks purchased their first herd of wood bison from a ranch in Minnesota. They designed and built a specialized kneeling trailer with air bags, moveable axels and rubber mats to haul the bison, starting with 40 animals in the first load. Other bison were acquired as ranchers in other areas retired. When bison first arrive at Mud Creek, they are quarantined in a 300-foot diameter circular corral. All animals are tested for tuberculosis prior to purchase and arrival on the ranch. No animals are bought or sold at livestock auctions.
The herd size at Mud Creek has grown to 300 bison (including 13 white bison) pastured on 800 acres of reclaimed land that was once a gravel quarry. The land was cleared, graded, seeded and fenced. The bison herd currently consists of 15 breeding bulls, 164 cows, 60 calves born in 2021 and one- to two-year-old heifers and bulls. Artificial insemination is not used, and there is no crossbreeding with domestic cattle. The typical diet is grass and hay. Beets, apples and pumpkins are fed on occasion when they are available. Bison are social creatures, roaming in herds in their native habitats. Providing the bison large pastures as a herd reduces stress on the animals and provides abundant exercise. The access roads built by the Comstocks near the fenced pastures also provide safe viewing opportunities for the public.
Wood bison are the larger of the two subspecies. It's both larger and heavier, attaining a mature weight about 200 pounds, or 15% more, than the American Plains bison. Adult male wood bison are approximately six feet tall at the shoulder, 10 feet long and weigh more than 2,000 pounds. The females are smaller, weighing around 1,200 pounds. Both genders have huge, wide heads and short, black horns. Both subspecies grow a very thick winter coat and tolerate extremely cold temperatures. Both have humps that rise straight up from the neck, then slope downward to the hips. The hump of the wood bison is larger and somewhat squared; the American Plains bison is rounded. The bone structure of this giant, forward hump supports a massive muscle structure that helps them sweep their head through deep snows to access grasses underneath. Bison begin to lose their coats in early spring, and by midsummer the coat is completely shed and replaced with new hair. At Mud Creek Bison Ranch the soft, durable bison hair is collected and spun into wool products, such as yarn and felt sole boot inserts.

Bison destined for human consumption are sent to a USDA processing facility when they are three years old. Bison are wrangled with ATVs, which is a job that requires skill and courage. Horses are not used, as bison can hit top speeds of 40 mph and can maintain that speed for a long period.
Mud Creek Bison Ranch is a member of the National Bison Association, a nonprofit association of producers, processors, marketers and bison enthusiasts. Association members abide by a Code of Ethics which ensures the humane and sustainable raising of American bison. The association has more than 1,100 members in all 50 states and 10 foreign countries.
Educational tours and charity events are a community focus of Mud Creek Bison Ranch. Visitors include 4-H and FFA groups and preschool children. The ranch remains open during the pandemic, providing popular outdoor activities, and hosts charity events for various organizations.
As a destination in the "Frontier of the Southern Tier," Mud Creek Bison Ranch offers narrated tours of the ranch where visitors safely view the bison herd from their vehicles or as a group in a covered wagon pulled by a tractor. Afterward, visitors are encouraged to visit the retail center and gift shop. Frozen bison meat of various cuts, items made from bison such as yarn, horns and jewelry and Mud Creek Bison Ranch souvenirs are available. For more information visit the Mud Creek Bison Ranch Facebook page.

Home ECONOMY Only seven kilometers of fuel pipeline project remains to be completed
Birendra Karna Birgunj, April 8: Works of cutting down trees for making room for installing petroleum pipeline within nine kilometers stretch of the Parsa National Park are moving ahead expeditiously.
The works are being undertaken as part of the Motihari-Amlekhgunj Petroleum Pipeline Project, a priority project of the governments of Nepal and India.
The Project Office Simara said construction works are going on vigorously in the nine kilometers stretch of the total 36.2 kilometres within the national park on Nepal side. Laying down of pipeline has been completed within two kilometers of this nine kilometers stretch.
Project engineer Sharad Kumar Poudyal said petrol would be brought from India once the work of installing the pipeline, which is being carried out in an expeditious manner, completes. He said it will take maximum three months for it to complete.
Six thousand five hundred and sixty three trees have to be chopped in the seven kilometers stretch which is taking place vigorously. The work of cutting trees has started with the meeting of the Council of Ministers endorsing the same on January 17.
The federal government will pay Rs 19.5 million to the Parsa National Park as compensation for cutting down trees.
The Indian Oil Corporation has stated that works on installing the pipeline has been completed on 33.7 kilometres from Motihari to Raxaul transit point. The pipeline which is billed as "Nepal's fuel lifeline", is 70 kilometres long from Motihari to Amlekhgunj of India. The Government of India has invested Indian Rs 3.5 billion for the construction of this project.
Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi had launched the ground-breaking ceremony of the Motihari-Amlekhgunj oil project through live-streaming at Hyderabad House, New Delhi, on April 7, 2018, during the former's official visit to the southern neighbour.
The project involves laying a 10.75-inch diameter cross-country pipeline, with fuel pumping facilities at Motihari. Out of the total length, 32.7 km of pipeline will be laid in Indian territory and 36.2 km will be laid in Nepali territory. The pipeline will have the capacity to supply 200,000 litres of fuel per hour.
Nepal and India had signed the project agreement in 2015 with the target to complete it within 2017. However it got delayed due to several policy hurdles. As a result, the cost of building the Motihari-Amlekhgunj oil pipeline is expected to have gone up by at least 15 per cent compared to the initial projection owing to the inflation of construction materials required for the project like pipes, rods, cement and labour costs, among others. The project is expected to be crucial to ensure regular supply of petroleum products in Nepal and reduce fuel transportation costs.

Faith & Trust (Emunah Ubitachon) by the Chazon Ish
The classic work of the Chazon Ish -- a must-read in these uncertain times!
With all the news headlines about the financial crisis currently rocking the globe, this powerful book by the Chazon Ish, Rabbi Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz, zt"l, (1878-1953) is vital reading for every Jew. In it, the Chazon Ish explains his approach to faith and trust in G-d. In a startling fashion, he strips away much of what has been written on these subjects and presents a totally fresh view.
This edition, the first English translation ever published of this seminal work, also contains the complete vowelized Hebrew text.
"This work ... not only gives the flavour of the Chazon Ish's beautiful literary style in the original but opens a window into the hashkofoh of one of the shapers of the revival of Torah Judaism of our times."--The Jewish Tribune (UK)
