Former controversial "Bachelor" Jason Mesnick and his wife, Molly Malaney Mesnick, are expecting their first child together in late March, according to People.
"Our family is getting a little bit bigger!" Molly Mesnick, 28, told the magazine. "I'm into my second trimester and I feel really good."
The couple met in 2009 on the 13th season of the hit ABC reality series. Jason caused a stir when, just six weeks after his on-air proposal to contestant Melissa Rycroft, he declared his love for Malaney instead. They married in February 2010.
Rycroft has since married and become a mom herself. She's also carved out a TV career as an on-air personality on shows including "Good Morning America" and as a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars."
The Mesnicks' new addition will join Jason's son, Ty, 7, from a previous marriage.
"He's always wanted to be a big brother," Jason Mesnick told People. "Molly made him a T-shirt that says 'Big Brother' on it and he's really proud. He wore it to school."
Deadline.com reports that Jodie Foster is returning to the director's chair. The Oscar-winning actress will helm "Money Monster," a drama about a successful TV financial-advice guru who is taken hostage on live television by someone who took his advice and lost everything. A media frenzy ensues, while ratings soar.
Production will start early next year. Casting will get under way immediately.
Foster most recently directed last year's "The Beaver," a dramedy starring her pal Mel Gibson that was critically acclaimed but a box-office dud. Her other feature film credits include "Home for the Holidays" and "Little Man Tate."
She co-starred last year with Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly in Roman Polanski's adaptation of "Carnage," and next appears in the futuristic thriller "Elysium," starring Matt Damon. It opens March 1.

the Pup has been a great Coyote deturrent/hunter.
The old man was one of the best bird dogs I've ever seen. He used to catch quail and bring them to the house with only a little slobber on them, never harmed.
This thread is awesome, I love looking at all the pups! Here is my loyal friend/son Gunner. He helped fill the gap while the wife and I were trying to get pregnant. Years and years of infertility were super difficult, but during that time he was my outdoor boy! Now we have adopted a baby girl, but he continues to accompany me on boys trips
Attached is a photo of him and I in a Field and Stream Magazine...pretty cool stuff
We've had Daisy since August. She doesn't do any hunting with me, but she does a great bit of scouting. I'm also working with her on blood trailing, which she has a great nose for. I'd love to let her get after squirrels but she isn't disciplined enough. We got her from the shelter so I didn't get to train her as a puppy, which means I don't trust her off leash. She's also stubborn as a mule which means training takes a long time. Plott hound/lab mix and full of energy. .
I got him from a shelter on the east coast before I moved to CO. As far as I can tell, someone had tried to bring him up to run rabbits, but he didn't do well with his previous owner. When we got him he would hide from all men and tremble, we think he was severely abused. He was found in the middle of the woods in WV abandoned. He's doing much, much better now and loves hiking. He is spoiled rotten.
I may pick up rabbit hunting for him. He sure loves to give them hell. He's normally content with sleeping on the sofa all day, but if we're on a walk and a rabbit or squirrel is nearby it's like a switch in him gets flipped.
Here are a few pictures of my new yellow lab, Huckleberry (Huck). Hes about 7 months old in these pictures. I hunted him a ton this past fall. His finally tally for the season was 74 roosters delivered to hand. I expect lots of good things to come from this little guy.
The last picture is of the entire crew of past, present, and future hunting buddies.

In order to tell my great story for April, I have to start by going back in time several months. Back to October and November, where I, like so many ERT members before me spent several bone-chillingly cold weeks trudging through knee-high snow, up some of the steepest longest hills in Missouri, climbing waterfalls, and forging rivers, all to clear perhaps one of the most challenging firelines in all ERT history. For years ERT members have been hiking, sawing, blowing, clearing and re-clearing these miles of track that is the Taum Sauk Mountain State Park burn unit fireline.
Then, fast forward in time to the fateful day of April 16, when my team leader got the same call that so many teams have gotten before us, they were ready to burn Taum Sauk and our team was on stand-by. As I mentioned earlier, we have not been the first team that has been told they were going to help burn Taum Sauk. Many teams before us have been told this, and many teams have packed up their gear and arrived at Taum Sauk ready to burn, but zero teams have ever actually burned this illusive unit, for at least the last 15 years, anyway. So we decided not to get our hopes up yet, even as we drove back to St. Louis to pick up another team member and of course, Bruce Bailey, and even as we drove to Taum Sauk, early in the morning of April 17th, and even as we drove into the park to meet up with the rest of the burn crew.
It wasn't until we were going over the JHA and the burn plan that I allowed myself to believe that we were actually going to burn Taum Sauk burn unit. And WE DID!, and it was glorious. Although the hike was intense, and my main job was suppression operations (i.e. holding line; which we all know is not the most exciting of the prescribe burn jobs) and we only burned the north half of the unit, it was still an epic day and so satisfying.
I am so happy I got to be a part of this burn that so many of my fellow ERT members, and so many Alumni before me have helped to prepare. I wish they all could have been there to help out with the burn. But I think how flawlessly the burn went is a testament to all of the hard work every one of them has done to make such a secure fireline. And I dedicate this great story to every ERT member who has worked on Taum Sauk, and who has helped to make this burn possible.

And one more question for Governor Perry:
The fix for a Ponzi Scheme is for administrators to take money from the scheme’s “net winners” and give it to the “net losers.” That is, if you were one of the first people into the scheme, and made out well before it collapsed, you must pay some of those ill-gotten gains to the people who came after you in the scheme and weren’t so lucky.
That’s true, even though some, perhaps all, of these “net winners” are unwitting victims of the fraud, too. To learn more about this principle, read Diana B. Henriques’s The Wizard of Lies, about the continuing clean-up after Bernie Madoff’s scheme.
It just so happens that the “net winners” from Social Security are today’s retirees — people who paid into the system when payroll tax rates were much lower, and thus are making out well in their dotage. As Brookings’s Henry J. Aaron notes:
all of the projected funding gap facing the Social Security Trust Funds — and more — results from the payment of beneﬁts to people who qualiﬁed for beneﬁts early in the life of the program. How to service the debt incurred because of payments made to people, most of whom are dead or retired, goes to the heart of the way the ﬁnancing of Social Security is framed in the public mind.
Aaron cites “perhaps the most dramatic example” of these net winners, Ida Mae Fuller, who paid $49.50 into the system and got “back” $22,888.92.
So, does Governor Perry think that some independent administrator should take money from Social Security’s current “net winners” or their estates and use those funds to bulk up the Social Security “trust fund,” so that net losers don’t lose as much?
If not, why not?
And if not, why use the Ponzi analogy (an already tired one even before Perry got to it)? Since the Ponzi remedy can’t be a solution in this case, does using the term do anything to advance the cause of fixing the program?

We all have that one person in our life who absolutely loves music. Someone who loves listening to music or entertaining a group with their lovely music or favorite artists at every gathering.

That’s why we have created this fabulous list of the best presents for people who like music.
Traditionally called a kalimba or karimba, this Zimbabwean musical tradition is a petite piano that was first made more than 3000 years ago. The tribal people used a thumb piano to tell their stories as they are lightweight and easily portable.
This emerald thumb piano is based on the traditional instrument but with a modern twist. With a smooth pine board and emerald finish, this handcrafted beauty is perfect for carrying any tune. It comes with eight numbered tines/keys that are hand-cut and rounded from tempered spring steel. An elegant and beautiful gift option for that friend who loves traditional music and instruments.

This one makes the ultimate present option for that friend who loves to travel but not without their musical instrument!

It is designed with a sound hole-free design for the ones who like their practice to be quiet and with an acoustic feel that won’t disturb others. But for the ones who like their music loud, you can buy a clip-on guitar pick separately. This folding travel guitar may not be a traditional guitar but is still pretty amazing, right?
The Loopy Lou the DJ in a Box is a fun and interesting gift option. This digital recording tool can be used to capture vocals or any other sounds and then you can change it with loops or pitch-bending playback. Sounds fun, right?

|An ink drawing from an artist's journal.
Art journals are a hot trend right now for mixed media artists, and one that I'm especially attuned to. I love art journals. They are akin to sketchbooks, but usually have a lot more finish to them–as if each page is an artwork in and of itself. I was looking around today at our sister-site, Cloth Paper Scissors, where artists and crafters gather to share their latest projects and insights on really cool materials or fun techniques, and found this informative blog about using drawing in your art journal.
We here at Artist Daily know that drawing is a crucial part of the artistic process, but it can still be a little intimidating. This article gave me great insights to how drawing can be casual, loose, and relaxed. It can also be incorporated into an artist's practice in a lot of different ways. Enjoy!

I made wings! While I was making the wings, I thought of an old high school friend who would crack me up with his saying, “Ain’t no thing but a chicken wing!” The phrase would send me in to fits of laughter every time. It wasn’t just the phrase itself that was so hilarious, but the way he would say it. Now, every time I make or eat wings, I think of him. So, naturally, I had to name this post after the very memorable and funny phrase.
These wings are baked, not fried. Don’t worry, they’re just as delicious and crispy as their fried counterparts. I made a sweet heat chipotle barbecue sauce for these wings. It’s spicy, sweet, smokey, and delicious. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. And, it’s super easy to make and way better than the bottled stuff you buy at the store.
See that mason jar in the background? It’s homemade buttermilk blue cheese dressing. It’s the perfect match for wings. They belong together.
Mmm, crispy baked wings. I baked them at 400 degrees on a baking sheet with a rack. The rack prevents the wings from sitting in their grease. They come out crispy, juicy, and succulent.
Don’t forget the celery. It helps to cool things down a little. I love to dip it in the blue cheese dressing.
Love and spicy treats,
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (it makes for easy clean up) and place a rack on the baking sheet. Line the rack with your wings. Salt and pepper the wings. I drizzled the wings with a small amount of olive oil to help with the crisping process. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the juices run clear. If you like your wings extra crispy (like me), you can place them under the broiler for a few minutes after they’re done baking.
Sweet heat chipotle bbq sauce:
1 tbs. canola oil
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 tsp. red chili flakes
2 cups ketchup
3/4 cups balsamic vinegar
3 tbs chipotle in adobo
1 1/2 tbs.worchestire sauce
1 tsp. ground mustard
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tbs. brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, add canola oil, chopped onions, chopped garlic, and red chili flakes. Cook until onion and garlic are tender, about 3 minutes. Turn down the heat and add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 2o minutes, stirring occasionally. After the sauce has simmered, use an immersion blender to smooth out the sauce a bit. If you don’t have an immersion blender, use a food processor or blender to smooth out the sauce. Feel free to leave the sauce chunky if that’s the way you prefer it. Place the hot wings in a bowl and top them with some of the bbq sauce. Stir to coat the wings. Enjoy with celery and homemade buttermilk blue cheese dressing.
Handy Kitchen Note: Place 2 cans of chipotle peppers in adobo in a food processor or blender. Pulse until the peppers are broken down and sauce is thick. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month. This way, all you have to do is take the container out of the fridge and scoop out what you need. No more chopping every time you need chipotle peppers. It has saved me a lot of time and mess.

On the evening of December 13th, Cai Wenjun, associate professor of School of Mathematical Sciences, who is studying on computational mathematics, was invited by the alliance of students majoring in mathematics of the Honors College to give a lecture on the topic of "Rambling Computational Mathematics".
Professor Cai started with the integral that students are familiar with. He pointed that not every definite integral can be solved for its specific value. At this time, students need to find out an approximate value of it. Then, Professor Cai said that although Euler's method of integration is useful in definite integrals and differential equations, it has its limitations. Based on this, he gave a follow-up explanation on the subject of computational mathematics. Finally, Professor Cai introduced other applications of computational mathematics, including applications in astrophysics, and ended the lecture with a video which simulates the solar system moving through the universe.
Professor Cai’s humorous lecture style won the students’ praise.

In today’s digital world, online gambling platforms have surged, providing gamers with a new and flexible means of indulging their betting passions. This exciting online gaming world includes diverse betting options, with online casino slots and sports betting standing out as two of the most favored choices. Both have unique appeal and offer diverse ways for enthusiasts to engage in secure, entertaining, and potentially profitable betting experiences.
Online Casino Slots
Online voj8 slots, the virtual counterparts of the traditional fruit machines found in physical casinos, are an integral part of the online gambling landscape. They’ve successfully transported the thrill and suspense of spinning reels to the digital realm, allowing players to engage from the comfort of their homes or on the go.
An online slot game utilizes a random number generator (RNG) to ensure that each spin’s outcome is entirely arbitrary, maintaining the game’s fairness and unpredictability. These games come in various themes and formats, including classic 3-reel slots, multi-line slots, and progressive slots, each offering unique gaming experiences and winning possibilities.
Several factors drive the increasing popularity of online casino slots. The sheer convenience of being able to play anytime, anywhere, is a significant plus. Moreover, online slots often offer higher return-to-player (RTP) percentages than their land-based counterparts, thus potentially yielding more significant winnings. Additionally, many online casinos provide lucrative bonuses and promotions to keep players engaged and increase their winning chances.
Online sports betting is another increasingly popular avenue of online gambling, offering a diverse range of betting markets across numerous sports. This activity allows enthusiasts to place wagers on their favorite sports events, whether football, basketball, horse racing, tennis, or any other sports discipline globally.
One of the primary appeals of sports betting is the blend of knowledge and luck it requires. Successful sports betting involves understanding the sport, the teams involved, player performances, and numerous other factors that could influence the outcome of an event. This blend of unpredictability and strategic knowledge makes sports betting a captivating and potentially rewarding venture.
The rise of online sports betting can be attributed to the ease of access, the wide variety of betting options, and the real-time, interactive nature of live betting. In-play betting allows players to place bets during the sports event, enhancing the excitement and providing a unique, engaging betting experience.
Making a Choice: Slots or Sports Betting?
When choosing between online casino slots and sports betting, several factors come into play:
- Personal Preference: Some people prefer the thrill and simplicity of online slots, while others are drawn to the strategic aspect of sports betting.
- Knowledge and Skills: Online slots require little knowledge or skill, making them ideal for beginners. On the other hand, successful sports betting typically requires a sound understanding of the sport and betting strategies.
- Variety: Online slots offer an endless variety of themes and game mechanics. Sports betting offers a wide variety of sports and betting types.
- Potential Returns: Progressive slot jackpots can reach massive amounts, but the odds of winning are low. Sports betting can offer more predictable returns with good sports knowledge and betting strategy.
Both online voj8 slots and sports betting offer unique and engaging ways to participate in online gambling. They cater to different player preferences, skill levels, and risk tolerances. As always, it is essential to gamble responsibly, understand the rules of each game, and remember that the primary aim should be to have fun.

text: In 1922, a wife from staid Wichita, Kansas, accompanies 15-year-old Louise Brooks to New York City where the young Louise continues studying dance. Played in The Chaperone by Elizabeth McGovern, the wife eventually returns to Wichita -- albeit in a somewhat revised version of her early-picture self. Brooks, portrayed by a vibrant Haley Lu Richardson, achieves movie stardom and a notorious reputation that turns her into an icon. Director Michael Engler sets up a familiar conflict in this fictionalized account of Brooks' teen years: Brooks' free-spirited volatility bumps against the strictures of middle-class life. Norma, who vainly tries to teach Louise propriety, has problems of her own: Her husband (Campbell Scott) has been unfaithful to her with another man. Richardson captures Brooks' unbridled energy and McGovern's character wrestles with her long-repressed impulses. Norma's desires are awakened by a handyman (Geza Rohrig) who works at the Catholic orphanage where Norma was raised and where she hopes to learn the identity of her biological mother. As the title suggests, the movie focuses mostly on the chaperone, a shame because Norma isn't interesting enough to compete with Richardsons' Brooks. Based on a novel by Laura Moriarty, Julian Fellowes' screenplay provides Norma with a dramatic arc of her own, but The Chaperone escorts us through a period piece that's often too lukewarm to simmer, much less to boil.

Right now, our state is in a housing crisis. Amid the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, Vermonters are struggling to meet their families’ basic needs.
- Roughly half of renters and over a quarter of homeowners are cost burdened – spending more than 30% of their income on housing.
- People of color and low-income households are disproportionately impacted by the high energy costs of heating substandard and energy inefficient housing.
- Increasing numbers of Vermonters are at risk of housing insecurity because of job losses related to the coronavirus pandemic.
Building weatherization and energy efficiency measures are proven strategies that not only increase housing affordability and improve the health and well being of occupants, but provide local, high quality union jobs that would stimulate our state’s economy.
Rights & Democracy and the Vermont Renews Coalition are working to advance housing justice across Vermont. We currently support an initiative, in which the state would provide green housing retrofits, including rooftop solar installation, to income qualifying homes. Updating Vermont’s aging housing stock would:
- support an equitable transition to a zero-carbon building sector by 2040;
- employ VT unionized workforce, which includes workforce development programs and training;
- prioritize households with annual incomes of less than $50,000;
- seek to create a progressive pay structure, ensuring affordable energy costs for Vermonters.
Housing is a basic need.
We are working to ensure that everyone in Vermont is guaranteed affordable, safe, equitable, and healthy housing. Please join us.

Final Vote Expected Thursday On Study Of City Hall Consultant
After an overwhelming vote on Tuesday night, it appears the La Crosse City Council will easily authorize a committee study of a budget consultant plan at its meeting on Thursday.
The Committee of the Whole amended the resolution, to remove language committing 125-thousand dollars for a consultant search. Council president Audrey Kader will be on the study committee. She defends much of the spending that city government must do every year.
Critics of the consultant plan have speculated that such an expert might be a substitute for the city administrator rejected in an April referendum...or that a consultant would recommend firing Mayor Matt Harter.

Local food pantries benefited by ‘Operation Thanksgiving’ in Missouri City
Last Saturday marked the end of Missouri City’s sixth annual “Operation Thanksgiving: Stuff the Squad Car and Fire Truck,” a three-week-long food drive which, as the name implies, brought in enough donations for local food pantries to fill 10 individual Missouri City Police cruisers, as well as one of Fire and Rescue Services’ fire trucks.
Beginning on Nov. 1, drop boxes for Operation Thanksgiving were placed in front of 10 of Missouri City’s fire stations, police department locations and other city facilities. The food drive reached its zenith at the Missouri City Public Safety Headquarters on Cartwright Road Saturday afternoon, as volunteers from the Second Mile Mission Center, Bethel Ministry and St. Vincent de Paul Holy Family Catholic Church hauled off the donations, which will be distributed to local families in need through those churches’ individual food pantries.
“It’s a warm feeling,” said Rhonda Johnson, a volunteer from the Victorious Women outreach ministry of Christian Bible Church. “It really is a good feeling to be able to feed some hungry folks for the holidays when so many people are without food. So we know that some people are going to have decent meals this Thanksgiving because of the donations.”
Operation Thanksgiving began in 2009 as an initiative led by then-Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald and Missouri City Police Detective Sonny McClamrock. “They had a vision about giving back to the community,” said Community Liaison Officer Evett Kelly.
Though Fitzgerald left the department earlier this year, incoming Police Chief Mike Berezin elected to continue the yearly food drive - which Kelly said has grown exponentially since its conception. Last year, Missouri City Fire and Rescue Services joined in on the event, upping the ante with the added challenge of filling a massive fire truck with food. This was in addition to the increasing number of MCPD squad cars that have been included in each successive year’s Operation.
“The first year, I think we filled like four or five patrol cars,” Kelly said. “Last year - six; this year - 10; so each year [Operation Thanksgiving] is getting larger and larger.”
Since Operation Thanksgiving debuted in 2009, Kelly said everyone from local residents and business owners to city staff and elected officials have participated on the event. Classic Chevrolet of Sugar Land alone donated 2,500 pieces of food this year. According to Kelly, all projections indicate that the November event will continue well into the future, in order to ensure that hardy Thanksgiving meals are available for all community members.
“This is something that we have a passion for,” Kelly said. “We enjoy doing this and giving back to our community.”

There is yet to be a global standardised sizing system introduced for childrenswear. Even with a common system, discrepancies would occur between garments, categories, brands and makers. Add to this the many shapes and sizes of our bubs (not to mention unpredictable growth spurts!) and things can tend to get a little complicated.
Byron Babies Apparel has endeavoured to smooth these variables by introducing our own sizing guide based on designs that we supply. Please refer to height as the defining value (we find this to be the most accurate), then confirm with supplementary measurements.
If in any doubt or your child is on the cusp, we suggest you purchase one size up. Values provided are full body measurements. As a result of the smoothing process the garment you receive may have a label different to that adopted at Byron Babies Apparel.

How? Please write your experiences.
I have been. Not by other people because nobody knows, but from my family. When i came out of the hospital, i didn´ t want to take meds. Or at least i didnt like taking them. So i was trying to explain to my family member what i went trough and what my symptoms were when i was psychotic and that i dont like it that i take meds and i maybe could manage without meds. He didn´t agree with this ( i can understand this) but he said after i told him this that it now looks like he is the one who is stupid. Like stupid as having mental illness. I felt so disapointed. Coming this from a close family member really hurt. I felt disappointed, sad, put down, humiliated. I still get sad just writting about this.
And i know that he meant it this way because schizophrenia runs in our family and our close relative has schizophrenia also. And he called him stupid many times as i remember. And he is not stupid, he is very smart and educated. He just has this illness. Having mental illness is being stupid aparently.

Soccer is big time fun, and many people absolutely love the sport. How good do you want to be at this sport? Regardless of what level you are seeking, the below article will assist you. Keep reading to learn tips and tricks for improving your soccer game.
Different levels of expertise require different levels of footwear. Pick up something with plastic and synthetic materials if you are just starting out. Advanced players should steer toward screw-in metal cleats, which can be used to play on different types of terrain.
Try to avoid contact with other players when the ball is in your possession. Know where your defender will be at all times to help avoid contact. This technique helps you maintain control of the ball, as well as reducing your chances of getting injured.
As obvious as it seems, you must maintain full visual of the ball at every minute. The game of soccer is extremely fast; therefore, the ball will be quickly passed between players in an instant. Losing the ball will give your opponent the chance they need to take it to the goal and score.
Never pass up the opportunity to practice. Anytime you leave your home, bring along your soccer ball. Anytime you have free moments, practice some drills. Also, you can dribble the ball between your feet as you walk to improve your coordination.
You can throw off an opponent by dribbling opposite of the direction you are headed in. The defender will pursue and you can get them discombobulated by quickly changing what you’re doing and going in an entirely new direction. This technique is used to bypass defenders.
Make sure your team mates are on the same sheet of music as you and can anticipate your intentions. Strategies will help your team to secure more goals during the match. For instance, you could cross each ball towards the right during a couple of plays, and the third time go to the left.
It’s difficult to control lofted balls. Passes that are low are the best approach if a defender is in hot pursuit. A lofted ball is best when your teammate is in an open area that is free from the opponent.
While individual goals are important when playing soccer, always remember the goals of the team. Soccer needs an entire team of effective players, so that’s why it’s important for everyone to keep the team goals in mind.
It is not a wise idea for you to be overconfident on the field. You might be very talented, but you never know what’s going to happen on the field. Playing as if you are untouchable increases the chance of an unexpected event that will throw your game off.
Set plays should be practiced to improve the capability of decision making during games. Test out corner kicks and direct shots with other players. If you practice such plays regularly, you will know how to choose among them during game play, which is sure to help you win.
The only thing you can do about mistakes is to learn from them. If the ball is taken from you when you dribble, learn the reason why. Pay attention to players who are good at dribbling and try to imitate their moves. Go to your coach or teammates with any questions you may have.
If you play in the mud, you need well-gripping shoes that can handle slippery situations. Professional players often use removable cleats for these situations. Try getting cleats that are wider if you’re in a muddy or wet situation. On such shoes, a pair of cleats sit at the heel, while four are placed midsole.
Learn to properly kick the ball. Kicking the soccer ball requires a bit of know-how. Kick toward the ball’s bottom if you want it to go high up in the air. Wedge your foot beneath the ball and lean back.
Soccer players exhibit a wide array of emotions. You might feel those losing attempts, but also feel like a winner. Your entire team will feel a lot more confident if you focus on the positive things. Often confidence can influence the outcome of the game.
Trapping the ball is a skill that must be learned using the bottom or instep of the foot. Stopping the ball this way is something that every soccer player has to do regularly. Continued practicing of tapping will improve your overall performance in moving the ball while maintaining control.
Every single teammate should practice these three things on a daily basis: dribbling, passing, and kicking. Though some might think that’s boring, it teaches how important it is to learn the basics. Films can be viewed of famous soccer players showing how to practice these skills so that the importance is understood.
It’s important to wash goalie gloves properly. Soak the gloves in water that is warm. Add a little bit of soap and have it sit for an hour. Then, rinse them until water runs clearly. Then gently wring the glove and put the palm side facing down on the sink.
Have a direct approach to the game. One of the hardest things to overcome is hesitation. Try to keep your mind in an attack or offensive mode. Once the ball is between your feet, you need to get to the goal as fast as possible.
The information here will help you become a more well-rounded player. Tell your teammates about what you learned so you can all improve your skills. Becoming a better player is an ongoing process. Becoming a good soccer player involves continuous effort and practice.

OC Weekly's Description
Like the magma-like house salsa, Taco Adobe's impressive gourmet platters emerge from a seemingly mundane menu. The camarones con chipotle are butterflied, grilled and slathered with a creamy, sweet chipotle sauce that complements the beautiful pungency of the shrimp. The hefty Adobe burritos could stand proudly against anything rolled in the Mission District and feature three types of cheese within their flour tortilla wrappers. They even experiment successfully with the Adobe pasta platter, linguine sauteed with garlic and that wonderful chipotle cream sauce of the camarones con chipotle.
Tips from foursquare
Get the Secret Beer-Battered Fish Burrito! Only problem: it's not on the menu. But if you ask owner Patricio Dillón for it, he'll gladly oblige, and I'm sure the other servers will, as well. Yummy!
You have to try their Blackened Salmon Burrito. It's the most amazing burrito I've ever eaten.
Ask for the homemade habanero sauce. Use with caution.
the blackend mahi mahi tacos are legit, lovely with a negro modelo
Best salsa in town! Add a bit of tapatio and you are in heaven.

Rolling Like Thunder Movie Story
Before street art became mainstream, the anonymous outlaws of "freight writing" put graffiti on the map. One of the most extreme and risky iterations of the art form, freight train graffiti culture has a rich history, laden with myth-like artists, remarkable romances and competitive graffiti crews. Delving into the underground subculture reveals the deep connection between graffiti and the American landscape, as well as the artists' obsession with putting life and limb on the line to make their voices heard.

Addicted to Scrabble-like mobile app "Words With Friends"? You may get even more hooked when you play it on another addictive platform, Facebook.
Zynga, the social gaming producer, has announced an upcoming version of "Words With Friends" for Facebook. This marks the first time Zynga, maker of the ever-popular (or annoying, depending on how you look at it) "FarmVille" franchise, is bringing a mobile game to the social networking site.
The upcoming Facebook version of the game will let players challenge any of their Facebook friends to a war of words. Players will also be able to sync previous games played through their iOS or Android apps to the Facebook version. In the past, iOS and Android users could not play with one another.
Another unique feature in the Facebook version is the ability to smack talk on a friend's Facebook wall when you're playing the game. Want to be notified of the launch? Zynga recommends people log onto their Facebook mobile version so that when the game launches, existing "Words With Friends" games will carry over automatically. Furthermore, "liking" its Facebook page will send you a notification when the game launches.
Zynga, known for its acquisition-based growth strategy, snapped up the creators of "Words With Friends," Newtoy, last December.
In early July Zynga filed for an IPO with the aim of raising at least $1 billion. Two weeks later it filed an addendum to its S-1 filing that highlighted its co-dependent relationship with Facebook. For instance, the filing disclosed a 2010 agreement for Zynga to exclusively use Facebook credits for five years. Furthermore, Zynga is not allowed to release new games on an undisclosed list of social networks, which presumably doesn't include Pengyou.
Zynga also broke into mainland China last month through a joint venture with Sina.com, a local online gaming portal.

There is a place of beauty, nature, and adventure that is unknown to most. A place where you can climb mountains, float rivers, hike various trails, and become in tune with nature. This glorious place is called Idaho, a Northwest state with a small amount of citizens and a large amount of wonder. After living here for almost eighteen years, I have become more and more appreciative of everything Idaho has to offer.
You can get your heart pumping on the rapids of Idaho's many rivers, as you take in the beautiful scenery. Afterwards, you can pull on your hiking boots and explore the Rocky Mountains, filled with ghost towns, thousands of trails, and hidden streams. Still looking for some excitement? Well, saddle up! Horseback riders are a common sight here in farm country. Tag along and view acres upon acres of flat, beautiful fields. There is something for the adventurer in all of us.
Are you looking for something more peaceful and relaxing? Don't worry, we've got some things for the calmer side of life. Grab a float tube and some sunscreen as you prepare for a simple ride down the Boise River that goes through the capital of Idaho. While you are in the beautiful capital, be sure to visit all of our animal friends at Zoo Boise. There is also plenty of shopping in the Boise area including the Boise Towne Square Mall, blocks of unique shops downtown, and if you are in luck, the weekly farmer's market.
Now, if all of these great activities weren't enough, we have more! Get a workout buddy and go take a hike to the top of Table Rock, where the final view is well worth the sweat (trust me!). Reward yourself with a giant slice of pizza from the infamous Messengers in Downtown Nampa. Don't forget to get dessert at the unique-to-Idaho coffee shop, Flying M Coffee Garage. Both of those delicious downtown eateries are perfect for date night where you will find live music and a friendly atmosphere.
Idaho has the perfect amount of city and nature. I know that no matter where you come from or what kind of person you are, you will fall in love the minute you lay eyes on Idaho. It's a place where you will explore, relax, and want to stay for awhile. So what are you waiting for? Your trip to hidden paradise is just a few steps away. We will see you soon!

San Diego, California
Designer: Omar Kakar
Project: Digital Library
Location: Downtown San Diego [Embarcadero Marina Park North]
Science fiction or science speculation? The public forum that will house all of humanity’s data. The Compendium, where the metaverse meets the built environment, a civic monolith serving as an infrastructure space of information and knowledge for society in the digital age. The current state and advancement of technology and communication has changed societies way of gathering information. Architecture has become complicit with the development of programmatic space without taking into consideration our technologically driven lifestyles.
By integrating the advancing information technology with the connectivity of the metaverse can we experimentally create a new public space. With today’s accessibility to instant data, the library is transforming into a new urban laboratory of gathering and sharing information for the future. This new “digital library” emerges, generating a different idea of an information center, a physical space for the virtual world of the computer over the physical scriptures of books and periodicals. A new performing function of life for a traditional public building, the birth of this digital library will generate a new form of social interaction and accessibility of sharing information. Becoming a compendia, collection of information, binding society with knowledge through multimedia.
Housed in a straightforward elemental form of the monolith, functioning as a cinematectonic slab of panorama information technology, a theateresque platform of viewing society’s growing visual information gallery of the human experience. The monolith, a pure and timeless form of all cultures, becomes the typology for this new space. A subtle yet iconic solution without the over-the-top arbitrary extravagance of ego driven parametric architecture. An easily recognizable building that will become a catalyst for future replication around the world as the new public space for information and communication. Transitioning society from the library, the compendium welcomes the public into our modern high-tech world that is the digital age.


Hurricane Harvey has left thousands displaced and without homes since touching ground in southeast Texas in mid-August.
It’s left massive amounts of wreckage in its wake, as well as at least six fatalities, and it has stranded both humans and animals in a flooded swath of the Lone Star State.
The storm was expected to last four to five days, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner told residents, but the effects of the storm’s “epic and catastrophic” damage will undoubtedly last much longer, ABC News reports.
Days on the road, lost jobs, hotel and lodging bills, fuel, and food expenses await those who decide not to check into the designated evacuation facilities like the George R. Brown Convention Center. And, once home, there’s the painful work of rebuilding a life out of what remains.
Emergency crews continue to evacuate humans and their pets from areas most affected by Harvey, but the work is tireless. Area shelters and even the 9-1-1 service in southeastern Texas have been inundated and unable to extend services to those not facing life-threatening situations.
“Currently, our numbers have increased to 330 animals (169 dogs, 122 cats, and 40 more confirmed pets en route.)” Austin Pets Alive told ABC News on August 28.
“Within the next 24 hours, those numbers are expected to increase by 50 to 110 animals, depending on how navigable some roads are. Our current projection is that we will have evacuated around 1,000 animals to Austin Pets Alive by the end of the week.”
The staggering loss of those most affected by the storm cannot be measured, but even the spirits of those who have survived Harvey might be eased by hearing of the inspiring rescues that have taken place. A number of uplifting stories from the storm have emerged as the waters recede.
Here are some of the most heart-wrenching rescues from Hurricane Harvey:
6. Otis Stocks Up
Perhaps he understood the urgency of the situation, or perhaps he’s just falling back on old habits; but the image of a German shepherd mix named Otis carrying a bag of dog food across the flooded streets of Sinton, Texas;flo has been shared thousands of times since it was first posted.
The Animal Rescue Site published an account of Otis’s story on Monday. According to the dog’s owners, he’s been known to filch food and other items in the past. Otis’s preparedness may have little to do with the extreme weather, it seems.
5. Stranded pets
According to National Geographic, it’s not uncommon for dogs and cats to try to escape during extreme weather events. But what happens when the pets are still tied up?
While owners hoping to keep their pets safe may think that securing them somewhere at home is the best course of action, it’s actually putting the animals in harm’s way.
A photographer who came across a dog chained to a telephone pole in Victoria, Texas, was kind enough to free the animal to escape the rising waters, already 10 inches deep. Unfortunately, not all animals are so lucky.
4. Kittens Saved Just In Time
Another good samaritan, this time in Houston; found a litter of kittens seeking dry land on the patio of a nearby apartment.
“I heard them meowing once the water rose so I went outside and saw one try to climb a tree and another stuck in a gutter;” a woman named Tatiana, who goes by the Reddit username Naruto015, told Love Meow.
The kittens are just over a month old and are staying both dry and well-fed in a room owned by Tatiana’s neighbors on the second floor of her apartment building.
3. Attic Rescue
After Adam Brackman helped save the lives of Cindi Simpson and her 90-year-old mother who lives with Alzheimer’s disease and cancer, he quickly returned to their house to rescue their three dogs and three cats.
“I’m sitting on top of an attic with her. I’m bonding with her pets to get them to trust me so I can get them down,” Brackman told ABC News.
His courage and determination has not gone unnoticed.
Brackman, the owner of Axelrad Beer Garden in Houston, had made one rescue previous to finding Simpson and her family in an attic, collecting another family and their puppy outside their flooded home in his boat.
— ABC News (@ABC) August 28, 2017
2. Rooftop Rescue
Firefighters traveling through Houston by boat have been vigilant in locating stranded residents; but the sight of two dogs on a roof caught their attention immediately on Sunday, August 27.
While their boat was already packed with others hoping to be dropped off on dry land, NBC News reports; a sign on the home’s front door that simply read “Help” was enough to warrant a stop.
Marty Lancton, union president of the Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association, and another firefighter secured the dogs and then found their owner and brought them all aboard.
“We got all of them,” Lancton told NBC. “I have two labradors and I’ll tell you the thought of having your pet not being rescued I know is a very emotional and difficult thing.”
1. Residents Stay Behind
The collective residents of southwest Texas have been offering each other help and support in every way possible since the onset of the storm. Their efforts become more and more critical as each day passes; and those left without critical resources continue to suffer.
On Monday, August 28, a group of Houston residents found six cats trapped in the flood and delivered them safely to a local shelter. They saved lives and made sure these animals will be safely returned to their owners once the waters recede and residents are able to return home.
These stories stand out as the southeastern U.S. copes with the wreckage left by Hurricane Harvey, but there is yet so much work to be done.

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) is a Russian writer universally regarded as an all-time master. According to Mikhail Chekhov, while working upon "The Duel," Chekhov periodically met with the zoologist and writer Vladimir Wagner. The two men had extensive conversations, one of which was on the subject of the then-popular idea of "the right of the strong one," which became the basis of the philosophy of the main character of the story, named Von Koren, for whom Wagner apparently served as a basic template.
The story has been twice adapted for the screen, once in 1973 and again in 2010.
Frank Marcopolos is the in-house audiobook narrator for The Bookquarium, whose voice-work has garnered praise from listeners such as:
"You have the perfect reading voice It’s amazing!"
"My goodness! That's the best narration I have ever heard!"
"Pitch, pace, and power in your natural, conversational style... You're the best I've heard."
"Your voice is INCREDIBLE and the tone is quite captivating. Excellent reading. You're a lifesaver!"
"Bravo! Your voice is incredible and you really bring a ton of artistic energy to your readings. Thoroughly enjoyed this and love listening to your work!"
"I enjoyed your interpretation that you showed through your pauses, intonations, tones, etc. I prefer not to listen to any other audiobooks than yours. :)"
This story has been translated by Constance Garnett, and the translation and the text of the story are in the public domain.

Yesterday, we had another beautiful workshop to learn the basic principles and the techniques of raw food preparation. With a variation of local and high quality ingredients we made nutritious, light and festive dishes. People were introduced to new (healthy) ingredients and learned the basics of soaking, drying, sprouting, fermenting, blending and food combinations. Plus lots of recipes for breakfast, snack, lunch and dinner. Recipes to bring home to make it yourself!
I enjoy the sharing of this art of food so much. Every time it makes me so happy to see people being inspired to start using this way of preparing their dishes.
Soon more dates for upcoming workshops.
