We all know we should be prepared for natural disasters but somehow we never get around to really making our own emergency preparedness kit. Or we assume we have everything we need and don't even consider doing a quick checklist. As a Miami resident, my family has had its fair share of hurricane warnings, flooding and tropical storms. I also grew up in Chile, where earthquakes are totally normal and schools not only teach fire drills but also explain how to keep safe when the earth literally starts moving.
You would think that by now I would be prepared at all times. However, it's time to redo my emergency kit. It's not enough to have water, flashlights, batteries and cell phone chargers. I learned this the hard way years ago when Katrina and Wilma brought so much devastation. My youngest was a few weeks old at the time and we weren't prepared for the hurricane's aftermath. We had the basics but quickly began to run out of supplies. I was never happier to have been nursing!
Water. When estimating how much you need, take into consideration all family members and pets. The Red Cross recommends one gallon per person per day. Also consider a water purifying kit.
Flashlights. Have one for each family member.
Batteries. Have enough for flashlights, a radio and any other devices you may need to power up. Tip: have extra cell phone chargers, batteries or power banks.
Baby supplies, including diapers, diaper rash cream, wipes, baby food, bottles and formula (if needed).
Food that does not require refrigeration. Canned goods, crackers, cookies, tuna packs, dried fruit and fruit cups are great options. Plan for at least a 3-day supply. Don't forget pets if you have them!
Can opener. Sounds obvious but after my first hurricane I realized the only can opener I had was electric and I had no electricity… Yep, it was useless.
Boxed milk. Those handy cartons don't need refrigeration. I prefer the individual boxes for the kids. Even if they are more expensive, there's less waste because you don't have to throw away leftovers.
Medications. Consider not only a 7 day supply for any prescriptions, but also regular over the counter medications you and your family members might need.
First aid kit that includes at the very least bandages, splints, antibiotic ointment, tweezers, antiseptic wash and analgesics such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
Change of clothes for each family member.
Copies of important documents such as passports, birth certificates, insurance cards, homeowners insurance, and your deed or lease documents. Store them in a zippered plastic bag.
Cash. We're used to using our debit and credit cards but during natural disasters, stores might not be able to process them.
At least one blanket and large towel. I recommend one per person.
Wipes. If you have kids, you know how versatile they are.
Ponchos if you live in a rainy area. In South Florida they're a necessity.
Emergency numbers. Have them on a piece of paper and not just on your phone. If your phone dies, you won't be able to access your contacts.
A pad of paper and markers or crayons. They can come in very handy to distract kids, even if it's to play tic tac toe or hangman.
It's always better to be safe than sorry. Even if it sounds scary to be thinking of a worst-case scenario, it gives you a tremendous peace of mind. Do you have anything else you suggest including in an emergency preparedness kit?

Wonder Woman continued to use the plane for super speed, outer space, and multi-dimensional transport up until the unpowered era of Diana Prince. When Wonder Woman resumed superpowered, costumed operations in 1973, she continued to use the jet as before, but did glide on air currents for short distances. At one point, Aphrodite granted the plane the power to fly faster than the speed of light for any interstellar voyages her champion might undertake.[199] Thanks to tinkering by gremlins, the Plane even developed intelligence and the power to talk.[200] The plane proved a good friend, eager to help his "mistress" and her loved ones in any way possible. It got along especially well with Steve Trevor.[citation needed]
I can tell that this story was supposed to have a lot of pathos to it, but I just wasn't feeling it. I couldn't feel.much for Jason, he's been such a twit since he appeared, it is hard to feel for WW and her relationship with him, such as it is. The whole story was pretty meh, honestly. The art was good most of the time, and there were some really fantastic individual p ...more
Seeking answers, Wonder Woman sought out an old friend that she believed could provide the way to Themyscira: Barbara Minerva, the Cheetah.[75] Cheetah agreed to help, under the condition that Diana kill the plant-god Urzkartaga and free Barbara from her curse, which Diana agreed to do.[76] When she located Urzkartaga, however, she discovered Steve Trevor and some of his fellow soldiers had been captured by Colonel Andres Cadulo, who intended to become the embodiment of the god and sacrifice Steve in the process. Wonder Woman freed dozens of Cadulo's captives and, with the help of Cheetah and the women he had captured, succeeded in destroying Urzkartaga and freeing Barbara from the curse of the Cheetah.[77] With Barbara's help, Diana and Steve were able to find "Themyscira", though Diana was surprised to find her mother alive and well despite remembering her as dead at the hands of Hera. After removing her bracelets Diana realized that her past interactions with these representations of the Amazons and her home were in fact an illusion, and that she may have never returned home since she originally left to escort Steve to the United States.[78] Upon this realization, Diana suffered a mental breakdown.[79]

A stand-alone #0 issue was released in September which explored Diana's childhood and her tutelage under Ares, the God of War, now known most often as simply 'War'.[147] The issue was narrated in the style of a typical Silver Age comic book and saw Diana in her childhood years.[148] The main plot of the issue was Diana training under War as he thought of her being an extraordinary girl with immense potential. The issue ultimately concluded with Diana learning and experiencing the importance of mercy, which she first learned when War showed it to her during their sparring. This later translated into her refusal to kill the Minotaur – a task given to her by War; however, this show of mercy makes her a failure in War's eyes, which was actually his fault since he inadvertently "taught" her mercy and affection as his protege.[147][148][149] Later in the series, Wonder Woman is forced to kill War during a conflict with her evil half-brother, Zeus' son First Born, and herself becomes the God of War. After the Amazons are restored, she rules over them both as a warrior queen and God of War, as the ongoing conflict with First Born escalates. At the end of Azzarello's run, as part of a final conflict, Wonder Woman kills First Born, while Zeke is revealed to have been Zeus' plan for resurrection, with Zola revealed to have been a mortal shell for the goddess Athena, who gave birth to Zeus just as he once did to her. Wonder Woman pleads with Athena not to allow the Zola personality, whom she has grown to love as a friend, die with Athena's awakening. Athena leaves the site in animal form, leaving a stunned and confused Zola behind with Wonder Woman.[150]
Due to the format of most golden age comics, the majority of story arcs at the time for all characters were the same, Wonder Woman included. More accurately that is to say that there were not story arcs at all, as issues contained two to three stories, all of which started and concluded within the issue in question. There was therefore not much continuity in Wonder Woman until she reached the silver age. The few exceptions to this were in issues which contained a common theme, such as Wonder Woman meeting some leprechauns and each of the three stories dealing with that. Alternately there were some common themes for the character at the time, one of which was dealing with enemy saboteurs. These were mostly contemporary, and thus started as either the National Socialists in Germany or the Imperial Japanese. Later these became others.
Pallas Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, granted Diana great wisdom, intelligence, and military prowess. Athena's gift has enabled Diana to master over a dozen languages (including those of alien origin), multiple complex crafts, sciences and philosophies, as well as leadership, military strategy, and armed and unarmed combat. More recently, Athena bound her own eyesight to Diana's, granting her increased empathy.[181]

The storyline "The Circle" was focused on the revelation of a failed assassination attempt on Diana when she was a baby, by four rogue Amazons.[120] These Amazons – Myrto, Charis, Philomela and Alkyone, collectively referred to as The Circle – were Hippolyta's personal guards and were extremely loyal and devoted to her.[121] However, when Hippolyta decided to raise a daughter, The Circle was horrified and considered the baby ill-fate, one who would ruin their entire race.[122] Thus, after Diana was sculpted out of clay and brought to life, The Circle decided to assassinate the baby. Their attempt was foiled however, and the four Amazons were imprisoned.[123] After years, the Circle escaped their prisons with the help of Captain Nazi, and decided to accomplish their previously failed mission and kill Diana. Diana defeated Myrto, Charis, Philomela and then approached Alkyone, who runs off and succumbs to her death by falling into the ocean. The other three Amazons return to their prisons.[123][124]
And while I will always love, admire and thank Linda Carter for being my Wonder Woman growing up... Gal Gadot was so FANTASTIC, I loved her and this movie! I love that a whole new generation of girls and boys have been given this gift of a powerful, courageous, graceful, amazing and yes, sexy new Wonder Woman! I am beyond thrilled I get to feel like a kid again and as an adult woman, celebrate this ground breaking character all over again! Thank you DC Comics, Warner Bros., Creator - William Moulton Marston, Director - Patty Jenkins, all the AMAZING Actresses and Actors. Especially Chris Pine and the real woman herself, Gal Gadot! ♡

This pizza is wildly delicious!
Most days I crave pizza and all it takes is for me to see a recipe for pizza to want one for a meal. The other day I was online and I saw this recipe for BBQ chicken pizza and it looked so delicious. So I knew that I had to make one for lunch. Now if you know me by now, I don't eat chicken and I have a dairy allergy. So that means I have to do pizza differently. I have only been dairy-free for 6 months but eliminating dairy from my diet has made a big difference in my health. My asthma is under control and I have been able to discontinue my allergy medicines. I am also sleeping better as I have not had any sleep apnea issues either. So as hard as it is, I have to avoid all dairy. I would do anything for a slice of gooey cheese pizza but for now, I use dairy-free cheese on my pizza. Since I don't eat chicken, I decided to try Wild SkipJack tuna on my pizza. This sustainably pole and line caught 100% pure tuna has a great texture and I knew that the barbecue sauce would give it great flavor.
I also keep my freezer stocked with these amazing gluten-free pizza crusts so I can make a dairy-free pizza anytime I crave a pizza. I don't have to eat gluten-free but I prefer Caulipower crusts as they have an amazing taste and they are so easy to top with my favorite toppings.
I always have a pantry stocked with Wild Planet products as they are so delicious and loaded with healthy omegas! I like that their seafood products are sustainable and so fresh. If you are a sardine fan, you have to try their Wild Sardines. The Wild Sardines are packed in extra virgin olive oil for great flavor and I am known to eat the whole can by myself. My husband loves Wild Planet's Organic Roasted Chicken Breast for his work lunches. It may be chicken in a can but he says it has great taste and he likes that he doesn't have to cook it.
I was amazed at the taste of my BBQ Pineapple Tuna Pizza as the flavors blended so well. The barbecue sauce made the tuna taste great and the pizza did not a fishy taste like I expected. So wild tuna makes a great substitute for chicken and I loved that I was getting 230mg EPA & DHA Omega 3 per serving. You have got to make this pizza to understand how delicious it is.
If you've tried Wild Planet, you know what I mean.
Place the gluten-free pizza crust on a baking stone or sheet. Spread the barbecue sauce over the crust and then top with the pineapple slices. Break the wild tuna into pieces and place evenly on the pizza crust. Sprinkle on the dairy-free cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is slightly melted.
Note: Dairy-free cheese has a tendency to not melt so I would take the pizza out once your crust starts to brown.
I am still yet to try cauliflower pizza crust - I must try soon. This sounds like a delicious combination of flavours!
I have to tell you these pizzas are really super hyper brave with this kind of ingredients ... beautiful fantasy!
I really need to try cauliflower pizza, never thought of tuna and pineapple but I would love to try it out.
I need to try this for sure. I'm pretty sure everyone in the house would like it. We've always liked tuna.
Tuna and pineapple is really good for us. That Dairy-Free & Gluten-Free BBQ Pineapple Tuna Pizza sounds really healthy. I think my son would love this.
OK now this sounds amazing! I am loving the sound of the mix of flavours and I completely admit I love a good pizza.
That looks so delicious! I have a friend that eats gluten free, I will make this for her as a surprise!
The pizza looks deliiiicious and is so healthy wow, will bake me some soon for sure. Thanks a lot for the recipe.
All this mix of flavours has definitely got me curious. I need to try this for myself.
SO bold to try all those ingredients together on a pizza! tuna and pineapple! i would not have thought of it!
Such a great thing to make and eat a healthy pizza. Looks quite tempting.
I would love to try the cauliflower crust! now u got me craving for pizza!
I'm not a fan of pineapple pizza. I've also never had tuna pizza. But I do love a good cauliflower crust.
I'm always looking for great gluten free recipes. Keep them coming! I've never heard of tuna on pizza. I'll have to give it a try.
You had me at gluten-free! I'll have to omit the tuna because I'm allergic to fish but the rest sounds incredible!
Wow..this looks delicious! I will try this definitely because I love pie apple very much.
I love the combination - bbq, pineapple and tuna! I'll try this one of these days.
Lots of new things for me on this dish, cauliflower crust and tuna! I have never thought of that before, I'll give it a try.

Guitarist - Composer - Arranger
La casita de mis viejos
Making sense of the lyrics...
This month we've been talking about Juan Carlos Cobián, the dapper pianist/composer nicknamed 'The Tango Aristocrat.' Cobián's melodies and harmonies were lush – he was one of the creators of the tango romanza style – and with his movie-star image he was the perfect for the 1920's. Tango was at the height of its glamour, transformed from lower-class music into the latest trend for the upper crust in Buenos Aires and Paris.
In addition to being a beautiful composition and one of tango's big hits, 'La casita de mis viejos' has the curious distinction of being biographical in content. The lyricist Enrique Cadicamo was Cobián's writing partner – the two of them created hit after hit, writing tangos like 'Los mareados,' 'Nostalgias,' and 'Nieblas del Riachuelo.' Cadícamo was also Cobián's confidant, and one day the 'Aristocrat' confessed that after leaving his home in Bahía Blanca at age 18 he had not been back to visit for twenty years.
This story inspired 'La casita de mis viejos,' whose protagonist travels far and wide seeking fame and fortune (much like Cobián, who moved to New York twice). The final line of the chorus is the kicker: it seems the narrator's appearance has changed so much that the family servant (also old at this point) doesn't recognize him until he hears his voice.
Tango 1932
Music: Juan Carlos Cobián
Lyrics: Enrique Cadícamo

OJ Simpson has been found guilty and sentenced on 12 charges of armed robbery, conspiracy to kidnap and assault with a deadly weapon by a court in the US city of Las Vegas. The former US football star and actor was accused of robbing two sports memorabilia dealers a year ago. The armed robbery charges carry a mandatory jail sentence, and kidnapping carries a possible life term. Simpson, 61, who denied the charges, was acquitted of murder in 1995 in what was dubbed "the trial of the century".

Kanye West performs "Heartless" From 808's & Heartbreak Album LIVE


Mwingi central MP commonly referred as Tsunami is calling upon all Kenyan leaders to rally behind President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto in their efforts of fighting graft following the ongoing graft allegations facing public officer in the National Youth Service and the ministry of Agriculture.
On an interview with journalists at Mwingi, Dr Mulyungi said that it's now time that people take personal responsibility for crimes they have committed, hence the president should not hesitate in taking stern action against those people who have continued to embezzle public funds at the expense of poor Kenyans.
The legislator called upon all elected leaders to rally behind the president in ensuring that corrupt people in the government are brought to book.
On the stance of the Wiper party on joining the government, Dr Mulyungi differed with his party chair Kivutha Kibwana following his earlier claims that the wiper party was warming up to work with the government.
The legislator said that remarks by Mr Kibwana was just but personal opinion but not the stance of the Wiper Party as the executive council is yet to meet in order to chat the way forward for the party.
Mulyungi said that the position of the party currently is just to sit on the fence and weigh their options properly before deciding which side to join for a better alignment come 2022.

Fifty-four tracks by 43 artists, and 60 pages of in-depth commentary and analysis: Lost Sounds is a monumental achievement that stretches back to the faint beginnings of commercial recordings and travels to the brink of the Jazz Age to trace the contributions of black artists on American records. Sometimes noisy and raucous, sometimes quiet and austere, these recordings demonstrate the deep involvement and lasting influence of African Americans in the nascent recording industry. Read more
Waxing the Gospel: Mass Evangelism and the Phonograph, 1890-1900
Before the 20th century, the "sacred" songs of Protestant camp meetings and revivals were as catchy, memorable and personal as the pop songs of that or any other time. Bringing you more recordings from the 1890s than any other historical album to date, Waxing the Gospel is a landmark collection of 102 tracks on three CDs in a 408-page beautifully illustrated hardback book. Commercial recordings go back to 1890 and feature pioneer artists Emile Berliner, Thomas Bott, J. W. Myers, Len Spencer, Steve Porter, and J. J. Fisher—as well as stunning instrumental performances by Baldwin's Cadet Band, Holding's Parlor Orchestra, and the U. S. Marine Band. Celebrity recordings by star evangelists include Ira D. Sankey, Dwight L. Moody, and Prof. John R. Sweney. And vernacular recordings taken in the field are by historic evangelical figures such as Fanny Crosby reading one of her poems, Winfield Weeden singing his original songs, and the "Golden Minstrel" of the Salvation Army, Edward Taylor, who accompanies himself on the guitar. It's a great listen, a fascinating story, a book for the coffee table, and a resource you'll want to have nearby. Read more

The oil price is taking a breather today after racking up seven consecutive days of gains and some believe the rally is poised to continue as we enter the 2nd half of the year.
The first half of the year is a time that bullish oil traders would like to forget with the price putting in its worst fist six month start in nearly 20 years as the US ramped up production and countries such as Libya and Nigeria greatly increased output.
"You are going to see crude oil inventories globally and domestically begin to decline month after month. That will support crude oil prices, boosting the entire sector," he added.
Oil may also receive a boost after news released showed a decline in U.S. drilling activity for the 2nd time this year which has raised speculation that an oil price around $45 is not profitable enough for more oil rigs to come on board in the US.
"The decline signals that U.S. oil supply struggles to remain profitable between $40 and $45 a barrel," said Vivek Dhar, a commodities strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia.


The clothes in the stalls are limited to the choices of other people and you may not find exactly what you need. This necessitates seeking custom knitted pieces as they reflect your personality and are designed to suit your preferences. You need to conduct proper research to secure the best Custom Knitting from the numerous firms in town. To make a smart decision, you should take the following points into consideration.
Customers should opt for knitters with considerable longevity in this field. They are capable of handling jobs of diverse sizes and can thus handle bulk orders within a reasonable time. They are highly skilled and can thus create eye catching and quality designs hence you are certain of getting the exact attributes you seek. They also have a long track record which you can use to determine whether they are a valuable choice.
Excellent customer service is vital for a knitting firm as this assures you of a smooth process. The chosen experts should return your messages promptly and give you clear details regarding your design preferences. They must give you full attention when discussing the end results you expect. Good communication is paramount in ensuring you get outfits that are in line with your expectations.
References reflect the firsthand experience of past clients and are thus useful in making an educated choice. You can talk to friends and peers who have worked with custom knitters as they can offer useful recommendations. This helps to narrow your options hence easing your search. You may also request for lists of past customers from a given firm and contact them as they can provide useful opinions.
The cost incurred in getting quality custom clothes should be within your financial means while upholding the desired standards. You should get quotes from multiple firms and check their details to pick an affordable option. This ensures you get what you need without straining your finances. You need to check the quality of materials used and ask on the duration of knitting to make certain of getting the best value for your money.
It is essential to evaluate the quality assured by a given knitter to decide whether they are a valuable option. They should be capable of working the latest fashion to meet customer satisfaction excellently. They must have excellent work processes to ensure attention is given to every detail. You can request to see samples to have a glimpse of what to anticipate.
It is paramount to assess the convenience of chosen experts to determine whether they are a good fit. Their websites should allow you to upload images of the design you prefer and place an order without having to travel to their premises. Their practices must be efficient hence you are subjected to minimal waiting duration upon placing an order. Quick turnaround times ought to be guaranteed.
Customers should reflect on the size of the preferred knitting firm. Large firms offer a wide variety of services including repair of the custom products but may not offer individualized attention to every customer. Small firms, on the other hand, have limited resources but have a lower customer base and thus offer much individual attention.
Those who are interested in custom knitting can refer to the following website for info. Enjoy your favorite hobby with the help of this source at http://www.cmodesignerknits.com/about-me.

The Seventh International Workshop in Diagnostic Immunohistochemistry
in collaboration with NordiQC
The workshop had been postponed until March 2021
Home / Faculty / Michael Walsh
BSc, PhD, FFSc (Research) (RCPA)
Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology,
Special Practice Responsibilities
Consultant overseeing Immunohistochemistry Laboratory
Gastrointestinal and gynaecological cancers, familial cancer syndromes
Dr Michael Walsh is a postdoctoral scientist based at Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology, Brisbane. A graduate of The University of Queensland, he has spent the majority of his working career as a research scientist with the University of Queensland and The QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute. He gained Fellowship of the Faculty of Science (Research) of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia in 2013 on the strength of his contribution to research in the field of histopathology, having published nearly 120 peer-reviewed articles.
In 2010, Dr Walsh took up a scientific consultant position at Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology tasked with overseeing the restructuring and expansion of the immunohistochemistry/Special Stains laboratory within the Histopathology Department. This included leading the external quality assurance programmes, staff training, continuing education and mentoring, as well as acting as the liaison between Histopathology and the Molecular Pathology and Cytogenetics departments. Recently, he has overseen the evaluation of whole-slide imaging/digital pathology platforms and the subsequent roll-out of the technology. SNP has now moved to digitised IHC and special stain preparations to improve turnaround times for regional pathologists. The technology is also being used to enhance case presentations at multi-
disciplinary team meetings.
Prior to taking up his appointment at Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology, Dr Walsh was for 15 years an investigator on the Australian Colorectal Cancer Family Registry, one of the centres in the multinational Colon Cancer Family Registry (Colon CFR) funded by the National Institute of Health (USA).

Scientists Just Discovered The Most Earth-Like Planet Ever
NASA announced the discovery of eight Earth-like planets outside of our solar system, and one of them has perhaps the best chance scientists have found yet for harboring extraterrestrial life. And it's getting more exciting.
An artist's rendering of Kepler 186f, one of 1,000 Earth-like planets the Kepler spacecraft has uncovered.
Kepler 438b is believed to be 12% larger than Earth and lies within its sun's "Goldilocks zone"—meaning its distance from the star is just right for potentially containing liquid water on its surface. It's 475 lightyears away from us, which is quite close in the grand scheme of the universe but still very, very far away.
Launched in 2009, NASA's $600 million Kepler spacecraft surveys the Milky Way for Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. To date, they've found 1,000 of them, and that's only in our galaxy. Who knows how many untold cousins of Earth there are elsewhere in our galaxy and beyond?
It works, essentially, by observing the brightness of stars in a fixed view. Analysts on Earth then look for instances when an extrasolar planet crosses in front of its star, causing the brightness to dim.
That might seem rather primitive, but a lot can be gleaned from that dimming. It can tell us the size of the planet, the shape of its orbit, its distance from the star—and can give us a fairly educated guess at what its composition is like. That said, these planets are too far away for us to directly observe or measure things like atmosphere.
Astronomers at the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics confirmed the existence of these new planets, using a computer program called BLENDER to rule out the possibility of false positives caused by stars crossing the view of other stars. They published their findings in the Astrophysical Journal.
The search for alien life will be boosted by the TESS satellite, launching in 2017, and the James Webb Telescope—Hubble's replacement—which will be put into orbit in 2019.

HUD Makes More than $37M Available to Combat Housing Discrimination
HUD recently announced that it's making $37.3 million available to fight housing discrimination under HUD's 2016 Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). This year's three funding notices support a variety of important fair housing activities, including fair housing testing in the rental and sales market, public education efforts, capacity building, and education and outreach activities.
Each year, HUD makes funding available to support organizations interested in the enforcement of fair housing laws and policies as well as educating the public, housing providers, and local governments about their rights and responsibilities under the Fair Housing Act.
The categories of grants announced are:
Education and Outreach Initiative grants (EOI) – $7,450,000 available. HUD awards these to groups that educate the public and housing providers about their rights and responsibilities under federal law or state and local fair housing laws that are equivalent to the Fair Housing Act. This year's funds include $1,250,000 toward a national media campaign; $250,000 toward tester coordinator training; and the rest for general regional, local and community-based programs.
Fair Housing Organizations Initiative (FHOI) – $500,000 available. HUD awards these to help build the capacity and effectiveness of non-profit fair housing organizations, particularly organizations that focus on the rights and needs of underserved groups, such as rural and immigrant populations.
Private Enforcement Initiative grants (PEI) – Total PEI multi-year funding is $29,375,000. However, $22,452,542 has already been reserved for FY 2014 and FY 2015 multi-year grantees, making $6,922,458 available for FY 2016 new awardees. This year's PEI funds also include $975,000 to address lending discrimination.
Applicants who are interested in applying for funding under the NOFAs should go to http://www.Grants.gov and search for the three "FHIP" NOFAs, forms, instructions, and other application material. Applications must be received by June 23, 2016.

Vancouver star Ludi Lin says 'Mortal Kombat' is an 'apt metaphor' for world divisions
TORONTO — "Mortal Kombat" may be based on a hit video-game franchise, but Vancouver-raised star Ludi Lin says it serves as an "apt metaphor" for divisions in the world.
The action film about an ancient battle between two realms arrives Friday in available theatres and premium video on demand platforms, providing blockbuster Asian onscreen representation at a time of rising anti-Asian racism.
"If you compare different nations now, compared to 100 years ago, of course each nation is doing better: higher quality of life, more economic success, and everyone's making progress and getting stronger. But I feel like we're getting stronger individually as nations and behind walls just to fight each other," Lin said from Vancouver where he's shooting the new CW series "Kung Fu."
"And the only result that's going to come from that is the apocalypse, like in 'Mortal Kombat' where this unknown shadowy force is going to invade unless humans realize that we're all champions of humanity and we need to band together so we don't get destroyed eventually."
The alum of the University of British Columbia's theatre program plays martial arts master Liu Kang in "Mortal Kombat," alongside Lewis Tan as protagonist Cole Young.
Cole is a gifted mixed martial arts fighter who finds out he's a descendant of a ninja hero and must join Liu Kang and other warriors in fighting the Outworld enemies for control of the universe.
Simon McQuoid directed the screenplay by Greg Russo and Dave Callaham.
Filmmakers tried to be as authentic as possible and show an array of Asian ethnic groups, said Lin, who spoke at a rally denouncing Asian hate in Vancouver last month.
"It's very important to let people know that 'Asian' isn't just one big-box category — for them to become familiar with different aspects of Asian culture and how meaningful that is, and how interesting, and what that can bring to a culture as diverse as Canada where there's literally Asians from probably hundreds of countries around the world," said Lin, whose other credits include the 2017 "Power Rangers" film.
"People don't really realize that the world is 60 per cent Asian. And 'minority' is defined in a very small and specific context. So in this case, in 'Mortal Kombat,' we get to show Asians from China, from Japan, from all areas of the world."
Lin was a natural fit for "Mortal Kombat," having trained in martial arts since he finished high school. He also previously worked with one of its producers, James Wan, on 2018's "Aquaman."
An accident on the way to his audition for the film may have also inadvertently helped his chances of getting the part.
"On the way there I got rammed off my skateboard by a car, so I was limping, could hardly walk," Lin said, noting he prefers to skateboard around Los Angeles to get around traffic.
"Maybe that helped with the character, because there's a lot of fighting, a lot of getting beaten up and also beating up people. So then (Wan) told me I nailed it."
The actor's affinity for "Mortal Kombat" started as a child, when he looked to video games for companionship while his family moved around to different countries.
Born in Fuzhou, China, he moved to Hong Kong with his family as a toddler and later lived in Vancouver, Australia and the United States before returning to China.
"I think Canada provided the foundation for, first of all, my acting training, and then second of all, my perspective into a whole different world of pop culture," said Lin.
"Also it grounded me in the Canadian dream, which is a multicultural tapestry where everyone fits in. And not just fit in — everyone belongs. That's still a dream that is going to be a lifelong journey to realize, but it's there as a goal. It's a worthy goal to aim at."
Video games, and "Mortal Kombat" in particular, provided diverse characters he could identify with while living in regions where he didn't speak the language.
"I saw people that looked like me," he said. "Liu Kang and Sub-Zero were favourite characters and they were both Asian."
Lin was further inspired when he saw how Robin Shou, who was also born in China and grew up overseas, portrayed Kang "in such a heroic and charismatic way" in the 1995 "Mortal Kombat" film.
"It really left an indelible mark on my childhood memory," Lin said, noting he even consulted with Shou about how to portray Kang before filming "Mortal Kombat."
"So to be able to do this, it's like an homage to my inner child that, 'This is for you. Time wasn't wasted, and it meant something.' And I hope for people who grew up with it, they feel the same thing."

"Humraaz" (2002) starring Bobby Deol, Akshaye Khanna, & Ameesha Patel
February 4, 2020 March 9, 2020 EmmaLeave a comment
…a look into the dark side of ambition. Each character has questionable motives, and the human drama alone kept me riveted through the film. The acting is convincing and the plot has many surprising twists and turns.
The plot was sneaky. You didn't know what was going to happen next. I was totally shocked with the ending. They put a lot of work into the dancing, and it showed.
Abbas Mustan [the directing duo] lay pretty heavy emphasis on the villains in their films, and this film is no exception.
This is the Bollywood remake (or re-imagining) of A Perfect Murder (1998) starring Michael Douglas, Gwenyth Paltrow, and Viggo Mortensen. It was also somewhat influenced by Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder (1954). The title of Humraaz ("soulmate") refers to "someone who knows your secret or someone whom you have shared your secret with." You can't skip the songs here, b/c every great playback singer of that era sung in this movie! Karan (Akshaye Khanna), the head of a dance troupe and his girlfriend, Priya (Ameesha Patel), are two 20-somethings who have energy, passion, and talent. They audition to perform on a cruise ship owned by young industrialist, Raj Singhania (Bobby Deol).
They get the cruise job and put on a fun number (Bardaasht Nahin Kar Sakta sung by KK and Sunidhi Chuahan). Raj can't keep his eyes off Priya. He sends her flowers, invites her to a fancy dinner, and they dance under the stars. Raj is quickly developing feelings for Priya; they go sightseeing in Malaysia (Dil Ne Kar Liya sung by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik, my favorite Bollywood duo). Priya didn't want to go out, b/c she vowed to walk barefoot all day (since the troupe had become "permanent status" on the cruise line). Raj decides to go barefoot also; he finds her beautiful, charming, and innocent (basically the girl of his dreams)!
On her birthday, Raj throws a big bash, and asks Karan for a "special song" (Piyar Kar sung by Udit Narayan, Shaan, and Kavita Krishnamurthy). The lyrics fit very well w/ the story. Later on deck, Raj offers Priya a ring. For a brief moment, Priya looks conflicted, but then puts it on, saying "some dreams do come true!" Priya reveals to Karan that she's engaged. At first, Karan looks shocked, but then smiles and hugs her, exclaiming "I can't believe it happened so fast." It was their plan all along- get Raj to marry Priya! One of the guys in their troupe watches from afar, wondering what is up.
Raj takes Priya to his family estate in Jaipur. Dadi (Raj's grandma w/ whom he shares a close bond) declares the couple will be married ASAP. The family and guests celebrate w/ a sweet/hopeful song (Life Ban Jaayige sung by Sonu Nigam and Jaspinder Narula). On their wedding night, Priya tells Raj that she took a vow of celibacy for one month (b/c destiny had brought them together, as she'd prayed). Raj is surprised, but then says he respects her decision.
Raj and Priya hold a reception at their house; Karan comes to congratulate them. Raj describes his new life and the many emotions w/in him (Tune Zindagi Mein by Udit Narayan). This song starts off as pretty innocent, but we get some lines where Raj talks about jealousy (foreshadowing). More drama (life-altering) ensues. We see more of the violent side of Karan (as in the opener). One morning, Priya realizes that she does love her husband! We get the title song (Sanam Mere Humraaz sung by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik). From here on (the last 45 mins or so), the movie takes dark turns (w/ scenes that are guaranteed to shock some viewers)!
Are you missing the (loud/colorful) hair and fashions of the '90s? FYI: Khanna is wearing a hairpiece (as he started losing his hair before his mid-20s). Do you get a kick out of seeing (old) technology? Then this may be the movie for you! It's around 3 hrs long (no joke), so it could take 2 days to watch. The first 90 mins go pretty quickly, thanks mainly to the musical numbers. The dancers here are also supporting actors (which is rare for Bollywood). I'm a fan of Khanna; his older brother (Rahul Khanna) is also actor. Rahul is seen in indies and TV shows (in both the US and India). I recently came across an article re: Patel (who is now 44); she celebrated 20 yrs of working in Bollywood. She still looks youthful and fit; she is producing movies now.
The comedic supporting characters are mostly one-note; they are present to serve the larger story. Raj's loyal personal assistant, Mr. Darshan (Johnny Lever) is a veteran of Bollywood. In one scene w/ Karan, Darshan (who is always worried re: "what ifs") sums up the entire story! After leaving school (lack of funds) as teen, Lever worked on the streets (selling small items) and copied famous actors. He worked at Lever's soap factory in Mumbai, where he entertained co-workers and earned the nickname "Johnny Lever." Eventually, he studied comedy and toured in variety shows. In the '80s, he met Amitabh Bachchan and started getting small roles in movies. Lever is short, stocky, curly-haired, and dark-skinned. He is from Andra Pradesh; Telegu was his first language, not Hindi. In Bollywood, there are few actors like him who have become a success.

If you have an online profile on social networking websites, such as Facebook, be aware, what you publish on the Internet for the world to see could end up sabotaging your future. Dr. Phil reminds viewers that what you may think is acceptable may not be acceptable to college recruiters, potential employers or even the police.
It's a social phenomenon: kids, students and adults are photographing their worst behaviors and posting them online for all to see. It's important to know that once you put a photo online, even if you have privacy controls, it can be copied, posted on other sites and your reputation could be tarnished. "The truth is, you can take some of these things out of context, put them all together in one place, and it paints you as a very different picture than how you live your life," Dr. Phil says. Even if you delete that photo, it could exist in the cyber world forever and may come back to haunt you when you least expect it.
Former Miss Washington, Elyse Umemoto, knows all too well the pitfalls of private photos posted online. After being crowned Miss Seattle in 2007, she posed for some pictures while celebrating with friends: Drinking while wearing her crown, making rude gestures and posing in her bra. When the snapshots were stolen from her and posted on the Internet, it landed her in the middle of a scandal. Now she worries how it will affect her future. "This could affect my graduate school plans. It could affect a potential or a future job," she says. "Or even 10, 20 years in the future, my kids are sitting on the Internet and they look up their mom. You don't want that kind of thing to be out there for your kids to find." Elyse is remorseful that her actions reflected poorly on the pageant organizations she represents. She could've lost her crown, something she worked very hard for.
Dr. Phil implores parents to take a look at their children's online profiles, should they have one, and see what they're publishing. In addition to going over online safety tips, have a conversation with your son or daughter about what is acceptable and check up on them frequently. Also, keep in mind; they could have more than one profile with different usernames and passwords. One mom was shocked to discover a photo of her 15-year-old daughter in a low-cut top with some obscene language on her profile.
Michael says oftentimes, kids will publish content not just about themselves, but about their parents. "So they say, 'Mom came home, and she didn't get her raise.' 'Dad came home, and he didn't get the promotion.' 'My parents are going to get a divorce,' or 'I want them to get a divorce,' and all of a sudden that's out in public," he says. The best thing to do is delete that content as soon as you find it. "Nip it in the bud," he says.
Brad Karsh is the president of Job Bound, a company dedicated to helping people succeed in getting a job. He says before he makes a hiring decision, he checks the applicant's MySpace and Facebook profiles as well as looking them up on Google as part of his background check. "We live in the information age, and companies want as much information on you before they make a huge commitment of time, resources and money," Brad says. If you don't want a potential employer to see something, don't post it on the Web.
Brad says pictures of you drinking make him wonder if you would show up to work drunk, be too hung over to work or go nuts at a work party. This is enough for him not to hire you. "It's not obviously the most positive impression that we want to see, and it certainly sends a bad signal," Brad says.
Even an innocent photo of you with a drink in your hand can be misinterpreted. Dr. Phil doesn't drink alcohol, but he says he learned early on to set down any beverage in his hand before posing for photos.
This is huge red flag for employers. Brad once turned down an intern because his online profile said his number-one interest was "smoking blunts with homies" and his number-two interest was "busting caps into whities." Brad says he may have been joking, but it spoke volumes about his maturity and professionalism. He also says it put a spotlight on character and judgment for putting those statements online.
Michael says, "It is like a tattoo. It is permanent. You should think, 'Will this look good in two decades?' It is like a reputation score or life score, which is more important than your credit score." He also recommends you find out your online presence by using Google. "Today, Google acts as your resumé. The first 10 results act as your resumé. That's your reputation," he says.
If you're a student, take a moment to think of the kind of career you want someday. If you're looking for a job in law enforcement, entertainment reporting or other public positions, remember that you will be representing that organization.
Lisa Bloom, legal expert, and anchor and commentator on Court TV News, tells two students, "As a homicide detective, as a reporter, you're going to be the face of your organization. You have to realize that you're not just representing yourself; you're always representing your entire organization."
Personal photos can not only cause embarrassment or ruin reputations; they can also be used as evidence in a criminal trial. On a rainy night in 2006, Jade was almost killed in a horrible car accident due to a drunk driver. Joshua was a 20-year-old college junior with a blood alcohol level more than two times the legal limit when his vehicle slammed into Jade's almost head on. Two weeks later, while Jade was clinging to life, Joshua attended a Halloween party dressed in an orange jumpsuit bearing the words "Jail Bird." He later posted photographs from the party on his Facebook profile. Prosecutors used the photos and other postings on his profile as evidence that he wasn't remorseful for the accident, and Joshua got a two-year prison sentence with eight years probation.
"I know for a fact that if those pictures from Facebook had never surfaced, Joshua would not be spending any time in jail. Those pictures are what put him away," Jade says.
Lisa says, "The hardest thing to do in criminal law is to get inside someone's mind in sentencing and say, 'Are they really remorseful?' because when you look at him in sentencing, there he is in his suit, all cleaned up, looking very contrite. Well, how do we get into someone's mind? We look into his MySpace or his Facebook page and there he is, thumbing his nose at the law, making a joke out of all of this. Judges, lawyers, prosecutors are increasingly looking at this stuff to get inside our minds."
Protect your online identity by thinking twice about what you post.

LANSING – While the pandemic was a time of stress for many, some women and minority entrepreneurs in the state saw it as a time of opportunity.
Michigan Women Forward, a Detroit-based organization that helps women and people of color receive business loans, has seen a "two-fold" increase in their approved loans over the last year, and currently has over 200 in progress.
"There is an increase in the number of women that are starting businesses, and part of it has to do with the pandemic," said Alexis Dishman, the organization's chief lending officer.
Michigan ranked 9th in the country for new business applications over the first years of the pandemic, according to recent research from TOP Agency, a marketing and data agency.
Business applications are filed with the IRS to establish a businesses employer identification number for tax purposes.
Dishman said the flexibility of owning one's own business is one of the main reasons behind that growth as many parents had children who were home due to school closures or unaffordable child care.
"Kids weren't in school or had different schedules, and employers weren't necessarily able to provide that (flexibility) depending on their job," she said.
While Dishman said the organization sees entrepreneurs from all business sectors, she said most are in ones with "low barriers to entry" such as child care providers, beauty care and esthetician services.
"The cost to get into them is less, so they are able to get into these industries easier and quicker," said Dishman. "I think that's partially the result of women, and people of color, not having access to capital in the same way men have."
Dishman said the pandemic shed light on systemic problems that led to women and people of color having less capital available to start a business and helped create awareness of those problems.
"There is some additional access to capital now, which I think has propelled people to consider taking their business full time," she said.
Brian Calley, the president and CEO of the state's Small Business Association, said he believes the pandemic and its flexibility have led to the rise in new business licenses as well.
"During times of economic uncertainty, the relative risk of starting a business can appear less," said Calley. "Not because starting a business is any less risky, but because the rest of the world doesn't seem so risk-free anymore."
Capri Scott, who was inspired to open her own business after over 20 years as an educator, said the issues that came to light in her school district, the Detroit Public Schools Community District, once COVID-19 hit motivated her to pursue a new career path.
"During that time I had to teach virtually, and I realized a lot of my students were not prepared to move to the fifth grade," Capri said.
This prompted her to think about how many of those students missed out on learning basic skills in kindergarten and first grade, and what she could personally do to help curb this problem.
"I was talking to my husband about not wanting to go back to the classroom and he finally said 'Capri, you have options. Why don't you think about opening your own child care center?'" said Scott. "And here I am."
Scott's center, Foundation First Childcare in Detroit, is "rooted in literacy" and foundational skill-building, and serves children from newborn to 6.
The process of getting a business license was lengthy and expensive, she said.
"All of that time I was investing my own personal capital," Scott said.
Eventually, she worked with Michigan Women Forward, which granted her a "microloan" for the business after investing over $10,000 of her own money.
"I think that is what really made them get behind me," she said.
Bianca Bennett, who opened her own business long before the pandemic, stressed the importance of having access to capital as well.
"When it comes to being a homeowner, or any type of ownership, you can't do that if you don't have the proper capital," she said.
Bennett, who registered her business, Like A King Cleaning Services, a Black-owned sanitation business in Oak Park, as an LLC in 2015, said it was a way to create "generational wealth" for her children and family.
"I could no longer trade my time for what someone else thought it was valued at," said Bennett. "It was worth more than $18 or $19 an hour."
Bennett said she thinks the pandemic let many women and minorities take stock of their work life, and that inspired them to open their own businesses.
"It was a time that if you ever thought or dreamed about it, that was the time," she said.
When asked why she thinks there's been a steady increase in women-owned businesses she said: "Women are independent, and we are fearless."

Here, seemingly acting out of the journalistic lust for controversy, he reports on the neurological, endocrinological, and genetic inquiries into why some people are homosexual. But although he regularly notes the politics involved and concludes with a chapter comparing the conflict over homosexuality with the Renaissance battle between church and science over heliocentrism, Burr concentrates on science and sends us on a modern odyssey full of intellectual adventure and revelation. He explains how one researcher discovered a possible difference between homosexual men and others in a particular neural nucleus in the brain; how the "gay gene" (actually, an allele, or alternative form of a gene) was found and how it works; and how genetic surgery (contemplated to be nonintrusive) might alter sexual orientation in adults. However far afield from the subject of sexual orientation Burr seems to stray, the side trips always reconnect with the main road. To counteract how the popular press has misrepresented certain research findings, such as that apparent gay brain difference, Burr reports what the researchers think their discoveries' significances are: the brain difference's discoverer actually claims his findings show only that further similar research holds promise for investigating sexual orientation. Burr also relays the counterarguments, many of them more persuasive, of scientists who think particular findings are either not so significant, misleading, or downright erroneous. Enthralling--unputdownable! --this may be both the gay studies book of the year and the popular-science book of the year. Ray Olson" (480-noto) .

It may even hide extra dimensions, different from anything ever imagined. A whole raft of remarkable concepts now rides atop the scientific firmament, including parallel universes, warped geometry, and threedimensional sink-holes. We understand far more about the world than we did just a few short years ago -- and yet we are more uncertain about the true nature of the universe than ever before. Have we reached a point of scientific discovery so advanced that the laws of physics as we know them are simply not sufficient? Will we all soon have to accept explanations that previously remained in the realm of science fiction? Lisa Randall is herself making these extraordinary breakthroughs, pushing back the boundaries of science in her research to answer some of the most fundamental questions posed by Nature. For example, why is the gravitational field from the entire Earth so defenseless against the small tug of a tiny magnet? Searching for answers to such seemingly irresolvable questions has led physicists to postulate extra dimensions, the presence of which may lead to unimaginable gains in scientific understanding. Randall takes us into the incredible world of warped, hidden dimensions that underpin the universe we live in, describing how we might prove their existence, while examining the questions that they still leave unanswered. Warped Passages provides an exhilarating overview that tracks the arc of discovery from early twentieth-century physics to the razor's edge of today's particle physics and string theory, unweaving the current debates about relativity, quantum mechanics, and gravity. In a highly readable style sure to entertain and elucidate, Lisa Randall demystifies the science and beguilingly unravels the mysteries of the myriad worlds that may exist just beyond the one we are only now beginning to know.  .

Prince William and Kate Middleton: The Surprising Benefit Those Affair Rumors Had on Their Marriage
It takes a big story to overshadow the media attention that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been hounded by since Meghan started dating the prince in 2016.
Prince William's cheating scandal is just that. For the past several months, tabloids have been reporting that the future king was unfaithful Kate Middleton, his wife of eight years.
The rumors are finally starting to die down, and the couple has seemed to come out of the ordeal stronger than ever. The entire family was glowing as they appeared at the queen's Trooping of the Colour. Now, a source is revealing that these rumors may have actually helped the couple's marriage.
Prince William was rumored to have an affair with one of his wife's closest friends
Royal followers shared a collective moan when they heard the rumors that Prince William was having an affair with the couple's long-time friend, Rose Hanbury. The rumors were a painful reminder of the events that surrounded his parents' marriage.
According to the tabloids, Kate Middleton and her good friend, Rose Hanbury, had a major falling out. However, the details surrounding the fall out were initially unclear. This incident was enough to spur rumors of an affair. Tabloid magazines and gossip reporters quickly jumped on the story and soon news of the so-called affair had spread.
Eventually, the palace reportedly got their lawyers involved. They stated that the rumors were untrue and were damaging to William. They also claimed that reports were illegal, as they were a violation of the couple's privacy. The rumors have never been substantiated, and they appear to have had no outward consequences to Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The rumors forced William and Kate to examine their relationship
https://www.instagram.com/p/Byc5la9Fn2A/
A source recently told US Weekly that the infidelity rumors caused the couple to pause and take a closer look at their relationship. The source said that not only did it force the couple to talk about their relationship, but it also made them realize that they should be taking the time to work on their relationship more often.
But this doesn't mean that Kate believes that there is any truth to the rumors. The source noted, "It's not unusual to have a few hiccups in a marriage, especially after eight years, and Kate and William are no different," continuing, "They're still going strong. Regardless of their ups and downs, they love each other dearly and their kids are the most important thing in their lives."
However, the rumors are not without negative consequences. The US Weekly source revealed that Kate is worried about what her children will think when they grow up and someday come across the reports.
This isn't the first time the couple has taken a hard look at their relationship
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxu4VQwFkiS/
Royal followers will remember that William and Kate broke up for a short time. In their post-engagement interview, Kate revealed that the breakup was actually good for the couple. She admitted that even though she probably wasn't happy about it at the time, that the time apart allowed both William and Kate to grow as individuals and know themselves better. This built the foundation for the strong relationship they have today.
William and Kate have had to deal with constant media attention since they first started dating. It is a fact of life that they will have to continue to cope with as William prepares to be king. But, it appears that the couple has a solid relationship. They understand what it takes to continue to make their relationship successful. As long as they continue to look inwards and keep the outside world at bay, it doesn't matter what the tabloids throw at them.

during la guelagetza in oaxaca, you are treated to non-stop fanfares, parades with giant costumes and heads, fireworks, fireworks lit from the giant heads and pretty much all around FIESTA. one thing i noticed though is that no one drinks in the street or is rambunctiously drunk. this is really a family thing. and so that's why you see 1 year olds running around unaccompanied in the street at 2am, chasing balloons and such.
so in the evening, you basically wander the streets and hope to cross paths with one of these pageants, either synchronized dances, little kids with giant sombreros or a 100 foot long dancing fish. a few guys had big papier mache turkeys and cows on their heads with round wheels on them. when you least expect it, someone runs up and lights a fuse and then, in the middle of an eager crowd you get those whiny fireworks and roman candles that make the wheels on the headpiece spin around and create fire spirals. (someone needs to explain to me how papier mache and fireworks are a good combination on someone's head). the guy continues to dance around and little firey ashes rain down on the crowd, it's madness. i think this is my favorite part of the guelagetza.
well, after the mezcal. the reason why no one is drunk on the street is because they're all around the corner at the mezcal festival. it's 15 pesos to get in and there is a live 20 person horn band playing to some of the dancing heads and costumed peoples who must have wandered in from a nearby parade. you make the rounds of the mezcal booths tasting everything from the bottom of the worm barrel to tasty reposado out of little plastic shot glasses. all for free. so it gets kinda rowdy. i thought i was hallucinating when i saw a guy in a tie and mexican wrestler mask dance with a dude with a giant bull head both holding up a large flag with a marijuana leaf on it that read something like "weed is the future." i danced with a goat. we were about to leave when we saw the oro de oaxaca booth which is known as a good mezcal. i bought a mini bottle which came with a free big mezcal sombrero. as if i don't stand out already. so rafa got one too. we were already content with our purchases and leaving but for some reason they rrrrreally wanted us to try all 37 varieties of flavored mezcal. non stop. in a row. one after the other. i felt like i was in a fraternity reality show but as a crowd gathered around it just seemed normal to down shot after shot after shot after shot after shot. kiwi flavored! yum! throw the shot glass on the ground. handed another. vanilla creme! yum! throw the shot glass on the ground. now try mango! this went on for a good 15 minutes when i realized my world was spinning while all these varieties were fighting themselves in my stomach and i just might vomit right now. i high fived a bunch of mexicans and zig zagged towards the exit. it took us 25 minutes to find our hotel which was only a block away as we took more of a spiral route, honed in by our instincts. the sad part was that at this time, it was only 9:45 pm. we hadn't even had dinner yet.
you can imagine how painful the consequent hangover is when there are 1/4 sticks of dynamite being set off outside your hotel room all night, and the drunk tuba and trumpet players that drank mezcal on my stoop and played a boozy version of la cucaracha until dawn. make it stop!

Trails, Haunted Houses, and Lake Surprise: Watchung Reservation
Heather Stephenson
By Carol Cain
On Spring days like the ones we have been enjoying lately, it's pretty hard to stay inside. Museums and movie theaters become difficult to endure, especially if you love the outdoors as much as we do. Being in NJ has made it so much easier to access countless hiking trails and nature paths.
Our most recent find: Watchung Reservation, in Union County, NJ, 2,000 acres of protected land with 13 miles of trails to discover.
My family and I started our tour of the area with a stop into the Visitor Center, which is also the area's Trailside Nature and Science Center, and a great little surprise. It showcases exhibits highlighting the wildlife that can be found in the area, as well as its history, a great place to stop into before going on the trails because we were able to point out things for our kids to keep an eye out for during our walk. You can also pick up an events list (they host several) as well as a trail map here.
We took the trail along Lake Surprise, where we climbed up large fallen tree trunks, skipped rocks, and posed for photos. We hiked up to the abandoned village of Feltville, established in 1736 by an Englishman named Peter Wilcox. The village includes eight houses, a carriage house, a church, and a general house – as well as a cemetery with the remains of the first settlers to the area. There have been tales of people seeing three ghosts who roam around the houses, though lucky for us, we didn't encounter any of them.
