Best to you Madeline!
The model that has broken the mould and continues to defy the odds, will be walking the Runway in Beijing, China for Art Hearts Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, and Runway Dubai from October 25th to November 10th. In Beijing, Madeline will be closing for Art Hearts on October 29th. At Runway Dubai, Madeline will be opening both evening's shows on the 9th and 10th of November.
Madeline currently is traveling the globe beyond the Catwalk, making impactful and empowering appearances at schools, shows, and sporting events on her #BreakingTheMouldTour. Most recently, Maddy walked for The City Mission in Melbourne Fashion Show, and danced at their Spring Gala Ball.
Madeline is a unique 19-year-old model from Brisbane, Australia. Madeline most notably had been dubbed by the press as "the world's most famous model with Down syndrome". This incredibly courageous, beautiful, and talented young woman has had astonishing success in the short time she has been modeling, and has captured media attention both in Australia and internationally. As with many people with Down syndrome, Madeline struggled with her weight for a long time, and last year decided to get healthy and chase after her dreams. She lost over 20kg, and is now changing society's perception of people with disabilities, one photo shoot at a time.
With her fresh-faced, flame-haired natural beauty, Madeline has been the face of GlossiGirl cosmetics, becoming the first professional adult model with Down syndrome to front a cosmetic company. Madeline has also modeled in New York Fashion Week, Art Hearts Fashion Week, Style Fashion Week, and walked the catwalk for auto immune awareness. She has been featured in leading publications Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Woman's Day, Women's Weekly, New York Times, Elle, Marie Claire, People, and Cleo to name a few.
In 2016/2017 she has already booked work in Sweden, Russia, Dubai, Uganda, Lebanon, Beijing, and America. She has also been nominated for the Pride of Australia and Young Australian of the Year Award. Additionally she was awarded the prestigious 2015 Model of the Year Award at international fashion show Melange in San Francisco, whose partners include Jean Paul Gaultier, Sephora and Nicole Miller. Madeline is currently in Russia as the headline model for Caspian Fashion Week, which is a young fashion event, showcasing collections from designers all over Russia, Caspian States, and from all over the world. Caspian Fashion Week is proudly supported by the Government of Astrakhan Region and The Representative of the Regional Council Gennadiy Ordenov.
With recent calls for more diversity in international popular culture, on runways and in campaigns, Madeline is in a prime position to be an important face, representative, and contributor or voice for any product, brand, or marketing campaign.
Madeline possesses confidence and is an incredible modern-day, relevant role model in today's fast changing society. Additionally, her friendly, warm and thoughtful nature makes her immediately relatable. She has over 130,000 Instagram Followers and over 600,0000 Facebook Fans. Her core social media audience is young women aged between 18 to 28.

Maryanne Nelson of Durango, CO, knows how hard it can be to get a great underwater shot—the 60-year-old scuba enthusiast has been taking cameras on dives for decades. "You have currents pushing you, a wetsuit impeding your movement, and all that scuba gear," says the former teacher. Still, she snapped this rare photo of an open giant clam, our underwater Photo Challenge winner, on a trip to Australia, where she got married last summer.Her final stop down under was the Great Barrier Reef. "We saw groupers, lion fish, and many giant clams, all shut tight," she recalls. Then she spotted this one, just 30 feet down, in perfect light. "I swam to its side to try to sneak up on it," says Nelson. She got off two shots with her underwater-housed Canon PowerShot G9, just before her subject clammed up.—Lori Fredrickson. Maryanne Nelson

General HospitalSoapbox
Spencer and Trina Just Proved That General Hospital Fans Can't Have Nice Things. Plus, Did the Show Just Tell Us When Sonny's Coming Home?
Richard Simms
ABC screenshots
Because your regular General Hospital columnist, Dustin, thinks days off are an actual thing, I'll be stepping in for him this week to discuss Spencer's creepy new girlfriend, Jason and Carly's nonsensical wedding plans, Nikolas' imminent induction into the Bad Parenting Hall of Fame and more. There's an awful lot to talk about, so we'd better dive right in.
I'm not sure why the writers felt the need to have Spencer throw a party that we never got to see. They could have told the exact same story by simply having Spencer invite his pals to Wyndemere. At one point, he explained that the whole thing was essentially done to impress Trina, but he should know by now that a smaller, more intimate gesture would have been far more effective in that regard.
Sure, the soap didn't shell out money for party guests, but they went all-in on props.
More: Could Ryan Paevey return as good-guy Nathan?
The fact that the island was overflowing with invisible teens had no impact on any aspect of the story, including Nikolas' boneheaded decision to mount a reboot of Scream with his son in the role of Hapless Teen No. 1. Perhaps Laura put it best when she asked Nikolas, "How did you think this was going to turn out?" I mean, in what universe did this sound like even a remotely good idea?
Who Invited You?
The real shocker of the week came when that creepy nurse who'd been stalking Ava showed up at Wyndemere and revealed that she was Spencer's accomplice/girlfriend. It was a decent twist, but it left me — like many other fans — throwing up my hands in frustration. Of course Spencer has a secret girlfriend (who appears to be nuttier than a fruitcake). General Hospital is bound and determined to make sure there are no happy couples on the canvas.
"Hello, my name is Esme, but you can call me roadblock."
I presented this theory to my best friend/co-worker Charlie, who was quick to try and prove me wrong.
CHARLIE: Mike and Nina seem happy.
ME: At the expense of Carly andSonny, and only until the truth comes out.
CHARLIE: Sam and Dante are cute together.
ME: And she's about to have her second husband come back from the dead.
CHARLIE: Wait, he's her second husband? What about the ones she conned?
ME: No, not her second husband. Her second to come back from the dead!
CHARLIE: Fine. What about Phyllis and…
ME: … her dead husband Lenny?
I'm pretty sure I won that particular debate.
Dial back the happy smile, dude, or you and Joss will be next!
More: Did Nikolas go too far?
As for Spencer and Trina, Esme's arrival was a double blow, because even if she wasn't his girlfriend, his conversation with her made it clear that he is the one who was stalking Ava, which means he's been lying to Trina.
At this point, I'd like to ask Spencer the same question Laura asked his dad: How, exactly, did you see this playing out? Did you plan to keep Esme busy stalking your stepmom while you wooed Trina? And how, exactly, did you keep Esme from coming to this blowout party she had to have known you were throwing?
Yeah, I've got questions.
No other current soap is as good at keeping the audience on its toes as General Hospital. But sometimes, the pacing is maddening. For what feels like ages, we've been told that the only way Jason and Carly can keep the Five Families at bay is by tying the knot. So why haven't they done it already? Shouldn't Jason's reaction to Madame Wu (whom, by the way, I kinda love) threatening to have Carly eliminated been to grab Sonny's widow and head for the Justice of the Peace?
Ah, look at the happy couple!
Instead, Carly made a big show of trying to figure out exactly when she could squeeze in a wedding. I mean, what's on he calendar, exactly? Sure, she owns the Metro Court but it's not like Olivia couldn't run the place for a day. In any case, Jason and his bride settled on September 17th as their big day… which, unless I miss my mark, means that's when we can expect to see "Mike" pop back up in Port Charles.
Who Me, Dead?
I'm kinda frustrated with soaps giving away big twists. Two weeks ago, it was Bold & Beautiful making sure everyone on the planet knew about Sheila's return rather than shocking the audience. This week, General Hospital confirmed that Cameron Mathison would be playing Drew and even showed his first scenes.
Of course, even without the advance warning we would have probably been able to guess that Sam's husband was about to be resurrected given that she and Dante were getting closer and we've already discussed GH's whole "No Happy Couples" policy. The big question is who's holding Drew hostage, although the better question might be why. If, as his guard keeps insisting, the intent is that Drew never, ever be released, then why keep him alive? You have to hire someone to watch the guy, feed him… seems like poor resource management to me.
I did, however, like that the show gave us some "flashbacks" of Drew talking to his daughter, Scout. Watching him sit in a cell talking to himself isn't particularly compelling drama, and this helped remind us of his connection to not only the canvas but Sam.
It was while flashing back to this moment that Drew realized he probably should have fought Sam on the name Scout.
• When Laura and her husband headed out to Spoon Island, didn't you assume that Spencer would mistake Kevin for his demented twin? I was sure Kevin would wind up being shot or stabbed, accidentally, by Spencer. Seems like a major missed opportunity to further illustrate just how ridiculously misguided Nikolas' attempt to have a "teaching moment" was.
• It was kinda ridiculous for Dante to suggest that Sam was considering "the unthinkable" by suggesting Drew might be alive. I mean, wouldn't the fact that she'd already had one husband come back from the dead indicate it was a possibility… especially considering how many of their friends and neighbors have also had it happen?
That's it for me this week. Dustin will be back to guide you through next week's episodes, but until then why not visit the comments section to share your General Hospital highs and lows of the week. And make sure to check out our photo-packed gallery in which we spend a little time getting to know the real-life loves of your favorite Port Charles residents.

EXTIZE was created in 2007 through the french song writer and interpret Cyb3rella. It began as a solo project. EXTIZE became a band at the end of 2007 as Cyb3rSlut (E-drums), Ionic Matrix (synthesizer and guitar) and Cyb3rc0re (sampling) joined the project. Their first club hits Poser and Hellektrostar are released in 2008 on the german well known compilations Extreme Störfrequenz 1 and Extreme Sündenfall 7. The band joined the label Trisol Music Group the same year thanks to the success of both songs.
Cyb3rc0re left the band at the beginning of the year 2010. DJ Barus took his place in the band. He was already well-known in the scene as he created the podcast "Dark E Mix", which was the most downloaded industrial podcast on Itunes. EXTIZE began its first tour at the beginning of 2010 in France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and Greece. The band played on the stage of the biggest gothic festival in the world, the Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany at the 29th May 2010.
The band released its second album Paradize 2069 the 25th February 2011. It was firstly offered as digipack edition limited on 999 exemplars. It contained 2 CDs ("Hell" and "Heaven") each one with 15 titles. Paradize 2069's concept is based on a science fiction story which the band wrote and recorded as audio book downloadable on www.paradize-2069.extize.com. This website has been specially created for the new album. The group slowed down its music style with this new album and the second CD " Heaven " which is nearer to Darkwave and Synthpop, instead of cyber and industrial. In addition, EXTIZE uploaded a small quiz which allowed the fans to download six unreleased songs (2 demos from 2007 and 4 remixes). Thanks this album became EXTIZE the best band of february of the magazine Orkus. The band released its second music video Headquake shortly after this second album. 2011, Ionic Matrix left the band and has been replaced by Jan Dysfunction at the guitar and synthesizer. The new member of the band has been officially presented on a live performance in the Crash club in Freiburg - Germany. The EXTIZE DJ Team won the Cyber-Culture Music Award 2011 (CCMA) in the category "best national DJ" in Essen - Germany. At the end of 2011, the band released a new video and made a tribute to Gala Rizzatto. The reason was that EXTIZE covered the hit Freed From Desire and offered it to their fans as free download on their website.

Q: Confused accessing delegate from WPF ui thread My apologies but I can't see what I am doing wrong / not understanding? I have declared a delegate such as:
namespace ABC
{
   public delegate void GenerateView();

   public class X
   {
      public X()
      {
         GenerateView handler = GenerateViewMethod;
      }

      public void GenerateViewMethod()
      { .... }

    }
 }

Then in the ui I call it as such:
private readonly X MyXClass;
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(MyXClass.???) //handler isn't an option?

The only method that shows is GenerateViewMethod and of course that isn't my delegate.
So obviously I am not exposing the delegate properly but I'm not clicking on what is missing.
Thank you for the assistance

Update further information
I have a WPF Ui and when the user clicks the only button I simply want to do some processing in a different thread and not lock the ui. Pretty simple little test for me as I'm learning.

A: The reason your current code doesn't work is that handler is just a local variable within the constructor.
While you could add a public property, if the point is just for external code to be able to get a delegate which calls GenerateViewMethod, you don't need anything extra for that - the other code can just use a method group conversion. For example:
Action action = MyXClass.GenerateViewMethod;
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(action);

Or:
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action) MyXClass.GenerateViewMethod);

Or if you're using DispatcherExtensions, you can simply use:
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(MyXClass.GenerateViewMethod);

The reason the DispatcherExtensions class helps here is that the methods declared by Dispatcher itself only take Delegate parameters, so the compiler needs to be told what kind of delegate to build. The extensions take the specific Action delegate, so the compiler just converts the method group to that.

The Brisbane Writer's Festival is in full swing, and I thought I would summarise some of the key points I learned from the urban fantasy panel last year: Nalini Singh, Marjorie M.Liu and Paula Weston.
1) Know where you are going with your world and how it will end.
Some of us are plotters and some are pantsers. Either way, knowing how your world will evolve and how the story will end will help you build the layers through your installments. You'll know when the time is right for the series to end.
2) Characters need to show light and dark and growth.
If there is nowhere for your character to head to or come from, readers will be less interested as they like to follow a journey.
3) Keep the tone of your series consistent.
If you start your book as one genre, readers will expect that it will stay that way – don't change it. If your series will head in a different direction, you need to set the expectations for your readers early on.
4) If you are having writer's block, make sure you don't leave it too long before you write again.
Marjorie said that she left it two weeks once, and every day she left it made it harder for her to return.
5) Create your own mythology, but keep it consistent and believable.
And when they say believable, they mean that readers need to be able to accept the mythology you have built, not that you expect to see vampires walking next to you. If you provide limitations on the paranormal aspect, then your magic system/creature will be more believable as well.
6) Don't write to a trend.
What will be the next big thing? Urban fantasy. Oh, they didn't say that? Well, I'm saying it.
A blood elf in Warcraft dancing like Napoleon Dynamite? Sure, why not? I'm open to anything. I love this dance!
My favourite author jumping genres? Wait, what? Which genre? I'm not open to everything.
When I read a book by one of my favourite authors and they've taken on a new style to fit a new genre and added elements I never agreed to, my heart sinks and I feel guilty for not feeling the love. One minute I'm tweeting reviews and retweeting other people's reviews, and then retweeting the author's retweets of other people's reviews of their books, and the next minute I'm hiding under the desk becoming uncharacteristically silent when I'm normally so vocal. I want to stick with them, I'm not completely unreasonable. Should I remain as supportive as before just because it isn't my thing?
YA to NA to Adult and back. Not a problem for me, as long as the elements and style is similar.
Some leaps are more like a shuffle, some leaps can clear huge, gaping chasms.
What leaps have you stretching with the author, bracing yourself for the journey, and what genre jumps have you pouting like a 14 year old who has had their Warcraft account cancelled by Mummy? Okay… like a 39 year old who had to cancel their Warcraft account because they are obsessive.
If you don't like the leap, are you just as supportive?
I'm not really saying what leaps are too big for me, am I?
Here's the real Napoleon Dynamite to distract you with his awesomeness.

A broken system forgives sexually abusive doctors in every state
Key Excerpts from Article on Website of Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Atlanta's leading newspaper)
Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Atlanta's leading newspaper), July 6, 2016
http://doctors.ajc.com/doctors_sex_abuse/
In a national investigation, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution examined documents that described disturbing acts of physician sexual abuse in every state. Rapes by OB/GYNs, seductions by psychiatrists, fondling by anesthesiologists and ophthalmologists, and molestations by pediatricians and radiologists. A few physicians — with hundreds of victims — are among the nation's worst sex offenders. The Roman Catholic Church, the military, the Boy Scouts, colleges and universities ... have all withered under the spotlight of sexual misconduct scandals and promised that abuse will no longer be swept under the rug. The medical profession, however, has never taken on sexual misconduct as a significant priority. And layer upon layer of secrecy makes it nearly impossible for the public, or even the medical community itself, to know the extent of physician sexual abuse. The AJC launched its national investigation a year ago after reaching a surprising finding in Georgia: two-thirds of the doctors disciplined in the state for sexual misconduct were permitted to practice again. Some states are apparently more forgiving than others when disciplining doctors in sexual misconduct cases. Georgia and Kansas, for example, allowed two of every three doctors publicly disciplined for sexual misconduct to return to practice. In Minnesota, it was four of every five. Nationwide, the AJC found that of the 2,400 doctors publicly disciplined for sexual misconduct, half still have active medical licenses today.
Note: If you live in the US, see how well your state does in protecting patients from sexual abuse using this chart. For more along these lines, see concise summaries of deeply revealing news articles on sexual abuse scandals and health.

Patriots Notebook: The Bye Week
Posted by admin | Nov 17, 2018 | Patriots | 0
The Patriots are off this week, after starting the season 7-3. The Patriots have had many ups and downs. The season started slowly, but the team bounced back and rallied off six straight wins. However, their lost last week to the Titans still stings and has many wondering if the team will be able to return to Super Bowl form. During the slow bye week, Patriots fans can take advantage of NFL action around the league with some football betting. These live betting lines show the spread for each game and can help you plan your football wagering.
Brady Addresses Deion Lewis' Anti-Patriots Comments
The Patriots got taken to the woodshed by the Titans on Sunday, to the tune of a 34-10 beatdown. It was a "revenge" game of sorts, with a number of former Patriots players on the Titans roster — Dion Lewis, Malcolm Butler, (head coach) Mike Vrabel to name a few.
Lewis was critical of the Patriots after the loss, calling the team "cheap" being that they didn't offer him the new contract he was seeking, essentially allowing him to test the free-agent market (even though that's always been their business model).
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady responded to Lewis' comments during a WEEI appearance on Monday, and he didn't seem to be fazed (or surprised) by them.
"I give them credit, they beat us," Brady said. "When you win, you can say a lot of things. That is the reality of winning. We'll just take our lumps and try and learn from them. And come out here and do a lot better job the next six weeks."
That's pretty much been the formula for the Patriots over the years. They'll bury this game and move on.
Could Rob Gronkowski Retire if He Does Not Receive a New Deal?
Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has been dealing with ankle and back injuries this season, and that could impact his future in a big way.
Gronk has caught only 29 balls for 448 yards so far this season, which may affect how the team approaches him going forward. They gave him an incentive-filled deal that hasn't worked out well for him at all so far this season, and it will be more of the same next year.
As such, Gronk may not deem playing worthwhile, which makes retirement a possibility. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk shared his take.
"I think that will be a factor in his ultimate decision and the fact he had a chance to play somewhere else and didn't want to, I think there's a good chance he just walks away after this year unless the Patriots are willing to rip up the last year of that contract and give him some form of security that is not tied to being healthy and producing on the field," Florio said on NFL Sunday, which WEEI transcribed.
This isn't a huge surprise, as for awhile, it seemed like Gronk wasn't even going to come back this season, so this issue isn't going away in the future, especially as his injuries mount up.
Could the Jets Ring a Bell?
Le'Veon Bell failed to sign his franchise tender, so he won't be playing for the Steelers this season. It's safe to say he'll never be wearing a Steelers uniform again.
In fact, he won't be playing for any NFL team this year, as he rests up in anticipation for hitting the free-agent market in the spring. The Steelers are unlikely to hit him with the transition tag, as that doesn't accomplish much, and they're not going to franchise tag him a third time, paying him upwards of $25 million (average of top five NFL players' salaries).
At this point, all talk involving Bell will be about his future, specifically his potential landing spots. He was previously drawing interest from the Jets, Browns, Dolphins and 49ers, and those teams still appear to be the favorites to approach Bell with a lucrative offer, at least at this time.
And apparently, the Jets are at the top of the list. Bleacher Report insider Mike Freeman reported on Friday that it's a "foregone conclusion" Bell will land with the Jets.
According to a number of NFL scouts and front office executives, there's only one team that makes sense for the Steelers star: the New York Jets.
"I think it's a foregone conclusion," said one Steelers source.
"That's the place where most of us have him pegged to go," said one NFC scout.
The Jets do appear to be the most likely landing spot right now. The Jets have the cap space, and they're in need of a veteran running back to anchor the backfield. They have a lot of youth on the offensive side of the ball, and Sam Darnold will be entering his second year as quarterback in 2019, so adding a proven veteran such as Bell makes sense. He also likes the night life, so New York could be viewed as an attractive destination for Bell.
Most importantly, though, the Jets can afford him, and would likely offer a good deal of guaranteed money to the soon-to-be-27-year-old running back, and that's what matters.

How a Father's Experience Fueled His Daughter's Dreams
With the help of a program supported by JPMorgan Chase, Angela Mendoza Rico is pursuing her dream to become an immigration lawyer—a career path inspired by her father's story and a passion for helping those in need.
For Angela Mendoza Rico, high school was a balancing act. Like many of her peers, she juggled classes, extracurricular activities, and a part-time job. But Rico, who graduated from what is now known as Northeast Early College in Denver, Colorado in May, wasn't just spreading her time thin for herself—she was also doing it for her family.
Rico's father emigrated from Mexico to the US when he was very young. At the age of 14, when his family needed financial support to stay together, he dropped out of school and began working. He was able to remain in the US and raised four children—including Angela—encouraging them to stay in school so that they could have an easier path forward than he did.
"My dad always told me, 'High school is important. You need the education from this point on and beyond to be somebody, to contribute to the world,'" says Rico. "He always encouraged me to become someone who will help people."
A Chance to Get Ahead
With her father's words in mind, Angela jumped at an opportunity to get involved with CareerConnect, a program supported by JPMorgan Chase that gives Denver students early exposure to a wide variety of career options. CareerConnect allows students to spend half their normal classroom time out of school and at a paid job in a high impact industry.
The program begins by supporting students in the classroom—teaching them entrepreneurial, professional, interpersonal, leadership, and even technical skills—and leading them to real-life work experience via paid apprenticeships. CareerConnect has program coordinators across most Denver public schools, one of whom Angela worked with after her business teacher suggested she get involved with the program. She enrolled in the business-focused pathway, one of CareerConnect's nine "career clusters" that students can choose from.
With the support of CareerConnect and in partnership with CareerWise Colorado, Rico landed an apprenticeship in the legal department at an insurance company based in Denver. "I've been able to learn about the legal systems behind a business," she says. "It's an experience I would have never been afforded without the help of CareerConnect."
First Step to a Dream Job
Rico's job fits with her career goals—becoming an immigration lawyer. "It's all inspired by my father's story," she says. "I want to help keep families together. All I've ever cared about is helping people—no matter who they are."
Rico is now juggling additional classes to receive an Associate's Degree in business, and has already landed a scholarship to Johnson & Wales University. She hopes to secure a full-time offer at her current job before pursuing her law studies—and the next step toward her future.
"I'm so grateful I got into CareerConnect," Rico said. "I don't know where I'd be without [the program's] support. I have more experience, more knowledge, and more confidence than I would ever had without the opportunities it has given me these past few years."

"Love's What I Want"
"Love's What I Want," written by Andy Partridge and featuring Bobby Hart on Vox organ, was produced by Andrew Sandoval during sessions for Good Times! It will be included as a bonus track on the Japanese CD release of the new album, and will also be available as a 7" (b/w "A Better World") when purchasing Good Times! on vinyl at Barnes & Noble this August.

Do we have the musician credits for this one yet?
Monkees Live Almanac
Micky Dolenz: Lead Vocal
Bobby Hart: VOX Organ
Andrew Sandoval: Guitar
Peter Thomas (of Elvis Costello & The Attractions): Drums
Erik Paparozzi: Bass
That's right! Pete Thomas--one of my favorite drummers of all time. And playing on a song written by one of my favorite songwriters of all time. How can you lose?
Elizabeth Baclayon
Fantastic song! I purchased a Good Times CD but will now search for another one that includes this song (and A Better World). I teach an elective class to middle school students called Anne Frank Lessons from the Holocaust and after hearing this song (and A Better World), I will definitely play & include both songs in my lesson plans for when my students wrap up our semester-long study by reflecting upon how each of us can make "a better world" through love and tolerance. Thank you!
Wonderful story, Elizabeth. Thanks for sharing! And good luck.
Guy Smiley
Wonderful track, but a total shame that this track is not available on CD (or even a download) in the U.S. Those of us who aren't vinyl buyers, and don't even have a way to play vinyl anymore, are left out in the cold on this one.
Honestly, the "deluxe edition" of Good Times should've been ALL FOUR bonus tracks on a CD for a few bucks more. Make it an exclusive for one particular retailer if you had to, Rhino, but that's how it should've been done if you had to go this route.
B smithy
On the wiki (always right of course), it says
Vocals: dolenz
Guitar: nez
Keys and guitar: tork
Drums: Pete Thomas
That Wikipedia information is incorrect.
figured - does that mean Mike didn't play on the Davy Jones track either?
Michael is not credited on "Love to Love."
However, there are some omissions in the session credits of the "Good Times!" booklet (http://www.monkeeslivealmanac.com/blog/john-hughes-comments-on-omissions-in-good-times-session-credits).
But from everything that has been said so far, it appears it's only Micky and Peter doing the backing vocals on "Love to Love."


Assignment- Recycling, Reducing, and Reusing, where you will physically review the recyclables you have collected over one week, and use your research to identify all materials that can be recycled from what you would normally throw away in a week's time.
•	Identify the recycling services available in your community.
• Determine whether your community offers a recycling program, and if so, what types of material they recycle. For example, do they take compost, steel cans, and such other material?
• Find out how recycling materials need to be separated and the dates and times of recycling pickup in your area. If you do not have recycling in your area, select a nearby community that offers recycling and use their information to guide your assignment.
In addition, you were asked to select either Module 2 or Module 3 to collect items to be recycled and log a journal of these items.
If you have not yet collected these recyclable items, be sure to begin in Module 3. Ensure that you rinse the recyclable items in order to deter bugs. Save all your recyclables in a container that is separate from your actual trash. You can use another trash bag or a paper bag. Suggested items to separate and recycle include plastics, paper, cans, glass, aluminum, and other recyclable items.
As you collect this data-the recyclables-keep a record of the material you are recycling. This recycling journal needs to be a rough estimate for each day.
What do you think about the concept of negative punishment where an unwanted behavior is decreased because of removing something good like privileges?

A Newbury businessman has returned home this Christmas after a global business adventure which kicked off earlier this year.
Sam Lee is the founder of The Creative Donut, which is a web design and digital marketing start up company launched in June 2015.
Mr Lee caught a flight back to spend Christmas with his family on Wednesday, December 9.
Find out out how other start up businesses from Berkshire have got on here.
He said: "The company is going from strength to strength. Each new project brings its own challenges, both technically and creatively - and I love it!"
He travelled around Australia and the US, getting involved with tech startups in Melbourne, Sydney, Texas, New York and San Francisco's Silicon Valley.
Despite the travelling life being "extremely freeing", Mr Lee returned to home to spend more time with his family in May 2015.
In particular, his nephew Harlow Lee is a big part of what he misses when he is half way across the globe.
Mr Lee said: "I love my family deeply - and have always maintained that there is no better place to be at Christmas than at home in Berkshire playing with my nephew.
"Being away for extended periods of time is difficult. Everyone I meet is introduced to pictures of my nephew almost instantly - when he travels he's probably already gained friends globally through his crazy uncle!"
Mr Lee came home to job interviews for roles within tech design and marketing but going back to the 9-to-5 schedule was not enough for the entrepreneur.
Mr Lee received backing, in August, from the Government's New Enterprise Allowance scheme after signing on at his Job Centre.
The New Enterprise Allowance gave Mr Lee a small allowance for 26 weeks, access to low-rate business loans and a mentor who was able to advise him and introduce him to their connections.
After five months of trading, The Creative Donut had completed multiple projects for companies in Newbury and as far afield as New Zealand. This is where Mr Lee took a different journey.
He said: "With traditional businesses you are usually restricted to trading in a specific town, region, country and it may take years to trade internationally.
"However with a business such as The Creative Donut all of the work takes place online and customer interaction is possible via Skype or email."
This change of thought sparked the entrepreneur to pack a bag and work from San Francisco to trial the wanderlust idea.
After a month he had worked from coffee shops, hostels and country lodges. Whilst in his spare time he hiked in Marin County, took sunrise pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge, made new friends and explored the city.
A cancelled climbing and coding trip to Yosemite prompted Mr Lee's last minute flight to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Wednesday, November 11. With the pound being so strong against the Brazilian Reais, it was cheaper for Sam to live and work online in Rio than return to the UK.
Mr Lee said: "From a young age my grandfather instilled a belief in me that travel and experiences are one of the most fulfilling things you can do in your life.
"Creating a company that gives me location independence has been my dream for many years. If you love what you do, 12 hour days, seven days a week will not stress you.
"Especially as when you do take time off you're somewhere new and exciting to explore."
Mr Lee will be jetting off on his next adventure on a flight to Brazil on Tuesday, January 26. The Creative Donut will be open for business from early February next year. This is Mr Lee's second office on a global scale - his other office is in Australia.

Pretty Little Liars Recap: "Hoedown?" More Like a Slowdown
TeamPLL, I don't know about you, but this week's show felt a little lackluster to me. Not because the writing was weaker than usual this season (it wasn't), but because I'm used to the Pretty Little Liars' tricks. By the end of last night's episode "Bring the Hoe Down," it was revealed that CeCe is probably Red Coat and possibly working on team "A." But as history has shown us, any time someone is obviously shown to be evil, it turns out they're not "A." Furthermore, now it's looking like we're supposed to think Mrs. DiLaurentis is shady, but my spidey senses are tingling like a triangle at an eighth-grade music recital and telling me that for a few episodes, we're led to believe she's "A," but, that's right, she's not. Even when we're given "answers," we all know that they're just going to be proven false—so all we're left with are more questions than before. So, I'm walking away from this ep knowing that I know nothing and hoping that the promo for next week's summer finale delivers on the promise of "one bombshell after another" being revealed. Until then, let's discuss what we know for certain went down
By Phoebe Robinson
TeamPLL, I don't know about you, but this week's show felt a little lackluster to me. Not because the writing was weaker than usual this season (it wasn't), but because I'm used to the Pretty Little Liars' tricks. By the end of last night's episode "Bring the Hoe Down," it was revealed that CeCe is probably Red Coat and possibly working on team "A." But as history has shown us, any time someone is obviously shown to be evil, it turns out they're not "A." Furthermore, now it's looking like we're supposed to think Mrs. DiLaurentis is shady, but my spidey senses are tingling like a triangle at an eighth-grade music recital and telling me that for a few episodes, we're led to believe she's "A," but, that's right, she's not. Even when we're given "answers," we all know that they're just going to be proven false—so all we're left with are more questions than before. So, I'm walking away from this ep knowing that I know nothing and hoping that the promo for next week's summer finale delivers on the promise of "one bombshell after another" being revealed. Until then, let's discuss what we know for certain went down last night:
Spencer, Emily, and Toby hope to find some clues about CeCe.
As the Little Liars are discussing the likelihood of CeCe living in Mrs. D's crawl space, Spence gives useful advice about the holes in the floor: Wear underwear at all times:
Um, isn't that what they always do? Anyway, Hanna arrives and tells them that she and her mom are having trouble finding a good lawyer. Just then, Lieutenant Tanner shows up and says she didn't find out who drove the car into Em's house, but instead found a muddy shoe that was at Wilden's crime scene (Mama Marin's shoe) amongst the rubble. Hanna nervously heads to the bathroom while Tanner says, "Oops, hope I didn't ruin anyone's lunch." I respond to the Lieutenant's smart-ass comment the way I do when someone points out a typo in my Facebook status and then says they were just kidding:
Once Tanner leaves, the Little Liars decide that they're going into Mrs. D's crawl space to find some evidence on CeCe in the hopes of getting the Lieutenant off their back. Even though I know this is a potentially dangerous plan, part of me is like:
Side note: There's going to be a school hoedown for some reason. Is this Happy Days? Oh, no it's 2013, so why in country-fiddle hell is this happening?
Back to the action: The girls leave and Hanna cries against a soda machine while a Mystery Dude stares at her:
She notices him and walks away.
Paige asks Em if they're still going to the hoedown. Em responds with a maybe and shows Paige the recommendation letter that Zoe wrote. Paige implies that Zoe is into Em, and Em gets pissed and leaves. Look, I totally get it. Em has legs for days and hair for weeks (I don't get that either, but just go with me), but why does everyone on this show have to ring the alarm because their crotches are on fire after being around her? Yes, she is pretty, but
And act like they've been around someone who has chesticles and a Bed, Bath, and Beyond gift card in their purse. It's. Not. That. Deep, PLL writers.
Jake sees Aria and gives her the contact info for a lawyer. She asks him if he wants to go to the hoedown with her:
Em asks Ezra for his opinion on the recommendation letter. He snaps at her because he's sad and tells her that he's just having "one of them days," and plays the Monica song and does an interpretive dance to it. J/K. He tells her about the Maggie and Malcolm sitch (but leaves out the he's-not-the-father part). Em's like:
Haleb are hanging out, and he wants Hanna to come to the hoedown. CAN EVERYONE STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS DAMN HOEDOWN LIKE IT'S ACTUALLY COOL?
After Caleb leaves, Hanna opens her locker. Inside is an envelope full of cash. She sees the Mystery Guy staring at her, and I'm looking at him the same way I do at my teammate when I have no idea what she's acting out during a game of charades:
Spoby get in his car and turns on the radio. "Any Time," sung by his mother is playing. Aaaaaaaand cue the water works. He ejects the CD, and on it is a note from "A," which convinces him to try and contact Dr. Palmer again:
Seriously, when will this wack story line be over? Not soon enough because Spence tells him that if he reaches out to the doc, it will be by himself because she's supposed to meet Aria and Em at Mrs. D's crawl space.
Hanna is at The Brew. Mystery Guy walks in. She approaches him and gives him a piece of her mind. I'm like:
Aria and Em are in the crawl space. Em tells Aria that she should call Ez, but won't say why. As they find a button, they hear rustling. Just Spence entering. Then they hear footsteps and get anxious because Mrs. D is supposed to be shopping with Hanna, so Em checks in with Hanna and she confirms that Mrs. D is with her. Aria looks through the holes in the floorboard and a sharp object pokes through. I'm scared—but I'm trying to stop screaming during the show so as not to disturb my neighbors. So instead of a yelp, I say this:
Em and Aria tell Hanna about what happened, and Em tells Spence that she wants to move into her house tonight. Spence hesitates. The Liars ask Spence what's going on and why she's always sneaking off to take phone calls. Spence finally breaks down and tells them that "A" is giving Toby gifts and his mom might have been murdered. Oooooh, when Toby finds out she spilled the beans, he's going to be like:
Meanwhile, Toby is trying to get Palmer on the phone, but to no avail. He hangs up and gets picture via text of a car:
Aria is at The Brew and sees Ez. He walks over, but then Jake shows up. Ez introduces himself to Jake and awkwardly leaves. Once they're alone, Jake gives Aria a present: cowboy boots...
Seriously, this mess is making me go insane. Why are the boots a hideous aqua green color? Why does Aria look like she's tearing up over such a banal gift? Has she never effin' heard of Zappos? The shoes probably cost $29.99, so why in free shipping and handling hell is she acting like he just put a ring on it? Please calm down and remember it's only been three dates and y'all have not slept together yet, 'kay? Moving on.
Em is packing to stay at Spence's, but stops when she spies Ali's nail polish on the nightstand and has a flashback. Ali is painting Em's toenails and tells her to break up with Ben. She even offers to do it since she has done it before and casually drops that a guy once pulled a gun on her for doing such a thing:
Em thinks that maybe CeCe was dating Wilden and had Ali dump him—and he was the guy who pulled the gun on her.
We see CeCe on the phone, leaving a message. She says she's not going back to Rosewood. The camera pans over to a chair. There's a red coat on it. Cue the reaction of most people on Tumblr at this reveal:
While I was like:
Yeah, I mean, I don't get why CeCe being Red Coat qualifies as a reveal since I thought it was pretty clear that she was being set up to be Red Coat a couple of episodes ago.
At the hoedown, Haleb show up. Caleb gets her a drink, and Mystery Guy arrives. His name is Travis. He tells her that he knows her mom is innocent and he put that envelope of cash in her locker. He claims he was at the lake that night and saw MM drive off before he heard gunshots. Next, he saw someone run off in the woods but isn't sure who it is other than that it was a woman:
Spoby and Em show up. Em sees Paige. It's awkward:
Hanna asks Travis to go to the police, but he doesn't want to say anything because his dad also had bad blood with Wilden. He thinks that the police might then assume his dad murdered him:
But seriously, that doesn't even make sense. Did I miss something because I don't get why the police would automatically assume Travis' dad had something to do with the murder unless his dad was shady. Chances are the show will give me an clarification on this issue: none. So I'm moving on.
Jake, Aria, and a bunch of classmates start line dancing. I react to this the way I do when right before I make out with my boyfriend, I answer a phone call from a friend who promises that she has a quick question about "this boy thing," but it's been 30 minutes:
This scene lasting too long is only useful for one reason: Jake sees Ezra looking at him and Aria, so he later confronts him and tells Ez to back off.
Hanna tells Caleb Travis' story. Caleb is doubtful of it, but she says she's going to trust him anyway:
Toby goes outside and looks at his phone. It's a pic of the car again. Turns out it's Dr. Palmer's old car and there's an address where the car is located. Spence comes over and asks him to dance. He puts the phone away and does. While dancing, he tells her about the car. She's scared this might blow up in his face and that everyone is concerned. He's like, "Everyone?" Mad that she told the Liars about his situation, he storms off:
Look, I'm not even affected by this because they belong together, and I know they're going to make up. Anyhoo, Spence goes to Caleb and asks him to chase after Toby. He does.
Em is watching Paige when Aria comes up to her. Em spills the beans to Aria about Ez's drama. Aria, concerned, goes to look for him. During this time, Paige disappears, but Em sees Red Coat on the balcony:
Hanna tracks down Travis and convinces him to go to the police. He does and talks to Tanner:
Em tells Spence that she thinks she saw Red Coat. RC reappears. They chase after her and attempt to steal a pickup truck full of hay to chase after her down the road, but Spence can't get it to start. At that very moment, RC jumps in the back of the truck. Spence texts Aria for help, then she and Em get out of the vehicle. Em grabs a hoe:
and starts hitting the mess out of where RC is. Nothing. Just the coat; no body.
Aria goes up to Ez and apologizes for not trying to get back in touch with him, but Ez leaves:
Caleb finds Toby at Dr. Palmer's car. Seconds later, a police car shows up and the two run away:
Em finds Paige and asks her to dance. They do:
Aria and Ez are at his place, and she asks him to tell her everything. Outside his apartment, we see CeCe in a black hoodie eavesdropping:
I mean, at this point, we all know that she's not "A." Now I'm doubting that she's even Red Coat. Again, this "reveal" really does nothing for me. I need CeCe to actually be doing something villainous in order for me to get worked up. Finally, we cut to "A" knitting a toy sweater and arranging five dolls (one in a black hoodie, like the kind Mona and CeCe wear) and stabbing one of them with a knitting needle (Mrs. D is the only person on the show who knits):
Alrighty, what did you think of this episode? Do you think I'm being jaded about CeCe and Mrs. DiLaurentis, or do you agree?

Little Porkys Marinade
experimenting with a wide variety
of flavor combinations.
no words could describe the absolute amazing flavor
packed into one bottle.
Little Porky's is a line of six flavors of marinades and four rubs made in Long Island. Little Porky is the creator, George Santiago, who acquired his nickname when he was born at a weight of 13.4 lbs.
"Cooking is something I've always had a passion for and everyone seemed to love my food." "My friends were over every weekend. I was always cooking". I wouldn't give my recipes to anyone, so they asked him to bottle the secret sauce so they could use it in their own homes.
Those friends' favorite dish was the steak he made with the marinade that would become his Original flavor once he followed his friends' advice and put it in a bottle. "Whatever you marinate in it, it's delicious."
The line grew from there after retailers advised him that he needed a range of flavors to go with his Original. "I went back to the drawing board and came up with all the other flavors," he said.
Those flavors now include Barbecue, Chimichurri, Peanut Sauce, Hot Chili Honey, Jamaican Jerk and Mango Habanero in addition to the Original. The rubs include Pork Rub, Meat Rub, Chicken Rub and Seafood Rub. "They all have a well balanced flavor," Santiago said.
"I started marketing the product at festivals, making the food with our marinades and rubs. The smell of the food while we are grilling brought people over to us asking what is that delicious smell.
The marinades and rubs are made with fresh ingredients and natural preservatives. The marinades and rubs are truly one of a kind with absolute amazing flavor packed in one bottle. We hope you get a chance to try out our amazing line of products and look forward to forming an ongoing relationship with you and all our customers. Enjoy!
