Easy way to make homemade fries or chips!.
1. Wash and Peel your potatoes
2. Either julienne the potatoes OR use a mandolin to slice your potatoes as thick or thin as you want (I lean towards the thinner side). We used our little hand mandolin so we didn’t have any choices in thickness. Their shape will dictate if they’re more like chips or fries. Taste wonderful either way.
3. Fry in a wok over med/med-high heat (make sure the oil is hot enough first!!). We used vegetable oil.
4. When done in batches, it takes between about 4 1/2 minutes, depending on their thickness.
5. Drain on a cookie sheet covered in paper towels. Salt to taste!

text: Oscar-winning actor Jack Palance died yesterday (10NOV06) at his home in Montecito, California. He was 87. The CITY SLICKERS star died of natural causes and was surrounded by his family when he passed away, according to his spokesperson Dick Guttman. The star delighted viewers of the 1992 Academy Award ceremony when he accepted his Oscar for best supporting actor by dropping to the stage and performing one-armed push-ups to demonstrate his physical prowess. Oscar host Billy Crystal turned the moment into a running joke and made increasingly outlandish remarks about Palance's accomplishments throughout the night's presentations. Palance appeared alongside Joan Crawford in the 1952 film noir classic SUDDEN FEAR, and the 1953 western SHANE, as evil gunslinger JACK WILSON, who toughed it out with star Alan Ladd in one of the big screen's definitive bar brawls. He was born in Hazelton, Pennsylvania to Russian-immigrant parents and arrived in Hollywood in the late 1940s with a rebuilt face after he was badly burned in World War II. Palance is survived by three children from his first marriage to actress VIRGINIA BAKER (the couple divorced in 1966), and his widow, ELAINE ROGERS (whom he married in 1987).

I don’t hold out much hope of getting to see any of her drama at all. My son left semi-angry with me yesterday.
I haven’t chosen this level of animosity between our family. I would do almost anything to make it better.
I am about to receive a therapy called EMDR. I hope it will help me with the level of emotion I’m running. Its quite sad to think that a divorce could cause this trauma….
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a rapid and effective way of treating trauma. The reason it is so effective is because it is based on a natural healing ability whereby the mind heals itself during sleep, most notably during rapid eye movement. Francine Shapiro developed EMDR in 1987 using this natural process in order to successfully treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Since then, it has been used as an effective treatment for a wide range of mental health problems.
When an individual is traumatised by an overwhelming event (e.g. an assault) or by repeatedly being subjected to distress (e.g. domestic violence), the natural coping mechanism becomes overloaded. This can result in disturbing experiences remaining frozen in the brain or being “unprocessed”.
These unprocessed memories and feelings are stored in the limbic system of your brain in a “raw” and emotional form, rather than in a verbal “story” mode. The limbic system maintains traumatic memories in an isolated memory network that is associated with emotions and physical sensations, which are disconnected from the brain’s cortex where language can be used to store memories.
The limbic system’s traumatic memories can be continually triggered when the individual then experiences situations that are similar to the original event. Often the memory itself is long forgotten, but the painful feelings such as anxiety, panic, despair, or anger are continually triggered in the present. The individual’s ability to live in the present and learn from new experiences can therefore become inhibited. EMDR works by restoring the connections between the brain’s memory networks, enabling the brain to process the traumatic memory in a very natural way.
The EMDR technique helps to change the memory in such a way that it loses its painful intensity and becomes a neutral memory of an event in the past. And, like a domino effect, other associated memories may also heal at the same time. This linking of related memories can lead to dramatic improvements in many aspects of your life. People experience EMDR as being a very empowering therapy because the new connections and insights are felt to arise quite naturally from within.
The validity and reliability of EMDR has been established by rigorous research. There are now nineteen controlled studies into EMDR making it the most thoroughly researched method used in the treatment of trauma, and it is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) as an effective treatment for PTSD.

There are so many things that go through my head in a day. One second everything is normal, I am thinking of exams or homework, and then next the reality that I am in crashes down on me. And then, the normality seems unimportant. Because everything has changed. Whether I want it to or not. Everything revolves around this terrible thing that happened. What even matters now?
My goals I feel have changed. Before, my life was going to be average. Graduate. Job. Marriage. Children. Now it feels different. I don’t know what I am meant to do. Life is short that’s all I really know. I don’t want to settle on the easiest, most convenient path. I want adventure. I want enlightenment. I want culture. And happiness. And love. I want to live life to the fullest. What am I doing right now? I am comfortable. But life should be uncomfortable. Some of the best moments in my life, were uncomfortable situations that Ryane pushed me to do. I know Ryane said to me once that she couldn’t see her future. Well, I feel that way as well. In the past year, I have realized I enjoy a lot of things. I love traveling, I love math, I love problem solving, I love teaching, I love organizing, I love advertising, I love flyer making, I love projects, the list goes on. Where do these things take me?
Ryane had so many ideas, but she was just as lost. I want to live for her as well. I am searching, just as she was. Searching for answers. Searching for my purpose. The purpose of it all.
My family this past weekend all went to my brother’s confirmation mass and dinner. I know for my confirmation it was my immediate family and my sponsor. That was it. This time my mom’s side of the family all came. It was beautiful and the dinner was amazing. We even celebrated my mom’s birthday. But why did this big party happen? It wasn’t a normal thing. No, it’s because everything is different.
We had a lantern release for Ryane. We all wrote on the lanterns, went out to the pond by my house and released them. It was beautiful, and I know she was there with us, loving it all. Other than how she can’t be there with us. Constant reminders. Everything right now is about her. How am I going to ever return to normality if she is everywhere. I know my life will never be the same as it was before that night, BUT when will I get to go through a day without spiraling into sadness or frustration by a random thought.
My new random thought of the week is the fact that I will live 4x as long as she was in my life. Pretty f-uped thought. But I can’t get it out of my head. Instead of having her in my wedding as my maid of honor or a brides-made, what do I get to do now? Have a picture of her there during the ceremony? That’s what she’s been reduced to? I don’t get to have her right next to me like she has been my WHOLE LIFE.
Everything is so wrong. But this is my life now. This is my new reality. My new norm. The thing is I don’t want to get used to it. Everything was fine before that instant in time. I was on a path. And now it is completely different. And I have no idea where I am going. A life without Ryane is like barely treading the surface. Barely surviving. Half of me is in another world. I don’t know what I even have left to give. I am still finding broken pieces of myself that I didn’t know were there. I don’t know what she took with her. I am just trying to survive. I am in somebody else’s life; this only happens in bad movies. Nope, it is real. This happens to real people, and I am that person. It doesn’t get worse than this. I am only strong enough by the grace of God. I don’t know the plan. Maybe I never will, but I am searching. Searching for my purpose. The purpose of it all.
**I would like to say Happy Birthday to my Mom, Jeanine. She is my inspiration, my role model, and who I look up to most in the world. She has made me who I am today. I am blessed to have such a strong woman in my life, someone who is so strong morally and faithfully. I love her so much. I thank God for her every day.
Thank you for everything you have done for me and the rest of our family. For all the sacrifices you have made. And all the love you give us each day.
One thought on “Searching”
I’m so sorry Nelson that you and your family are going through this most difficult time as I can’t imagine it…but I do know that your mom never ceases to amaze those who love her…she is a Woman..FULL of Grace..as I believe you are too..and it is with that Grace that God will carry you and show you the Way..my continued prayers for you💜🙏🏻

Napier, perched as it is near the southern end of Hawke's Bay, is a beach town. Okay, not in the same way as your Whangamatas or your Coromandels. But it's coastal and blessed with the kind of warm - or at least sunny - climate you associate with long, golden summers.
Still, if you're considering a cosy winter weekend away, you could do worse than the Napier seaside suburb of Ahuriri.
Like similar port towns around the country, Ahuriri's original ramshackle fisherman's cottages and run-down commercial enterprises have blossomed in recent years, and its become something of a quaint tourist nook. It's rapidly filling with cool cafes, bars, cute shops ... and, of course, all the fresh, salty sea air you can fill your lungs with.
Basing yourself in Ahuriri for a Napier weekender means the city centre is a mere five-minute drive over the city's iconic bluff or around the waterfront, or about a 40-minute walk.
There's plenty of seafront here, though it's more rocky shore than miles of golden sands; perfect if the kids are with you and they want to rummage for starfish and limpets.
Alternatively, you could follow in the footsteps of generations of Napier kids and take them fishing off the Iron Pot Wharf. Or there's the Salty Rock climbing wall at West Quay, and a great playground at Spriggs Park. But this is a grown-ups' playground, too.
Start by basing yourself at the excellent Crown Hotel on the corner of Hardinge Rd. It's in the heart of "new" Ahuriri, while still being part of the old. The original Crown building was built post-Napier earthquake in 1932, and has been beautifully restored to reflect its art deco roots. It is now home to the hotel's heritage suites, a house bar and conference facilities. Added to that more recently is a modern, four-storey complex which houses accommodation ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments, often with sea views.
Beneath those seaside rooms, the hotel's even newer restaurant, Milk and Honey, has fast become a favourite with the weekend brunch crowd. On a sunny Bay morning, it's a pretty pleasant spot to savour brekkie.
Ahuriri is also a great spot for antique hunters as it's home to the Whale's Tale, something of a Napier landmark. It's filled to bursting with antiques and curios and is a popular fossicking spot for collectors of artefacts in the city's famous art deco style.
For a more dramatic display of the architecture Napier is world-famous for, stroll through Ahuriri to the National Tobacco Company building.
Top up on Italian food supplies at the excellent Vitro food store - particularly useful if you're in a Crown self-catering apartment.
Alternatively, take a walk along the Ahuriri boardwalk, past Spriggs Park and the delicious barbecue smells emanating from Hot Chick takeaways (another local icon). From here, you can either head east toward the port and round the point to Marine Parade and the city centre, or head in the other direction through the newly landscaped area at the point of Ahuriri inlet, where the fishing boats enter to clamour around Iron Pot Wharf.
If you're feeling energetic, press on past the line-up of excellent bars, such as the Gin Trap and Thirsty Whale along West Quay, and over the estuary bridge - where there'll almost certainly be another school of kids fishing - and on to Westshore Beach.
Invigorating, to be sure - but perhaps it's time to head back and sample a little of the famous Hawke's Bay wine in one of those waterside bars ...
Getting there: Air New Zealand offers up to 11 flights a day between Auckland and Napier. You can organise your rental car or airport parking when booking from their website, by phone 0800 737 000, or by visiting an Air New Zealand Holidays store.

In July 1871 the Wilts & Glos Standard told its readers that the ‘Bank Holidays’ Act provides that Easter Monday, Whit Monday, the first Monday in August, and the 26 December if a week day, shall be kept as close holidays in all banks, in the same was as Christmas Day and Good Friday’. All banks closed for the day, and tradesmen followed suit – so giving a holiday for all. Today Bank Holidays still provide additional days for relaxation, over and above the holiday entitlement we all associate with employment.
However, in previous centuries, it was Holy-Days within the religious calendar that provided a change from daily routine. Whitsuntide is second only to Easter in the festivals of the Christian calendar, and marks the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, Pentecost being the 50th day after Easter. So being aligned with Easter the actual day varies from year to year and can fall between mid-May and mid-June. Easter itself is celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, and therefore, can fall between 21 March and 25 April. So, it’s complicated!
But early summer is a favourite time and provides the opportunity to combine religious and secular traditions in a range of open-air events to mark the holiday with Morris dancing, wakes, cheese rolling, fetes, fairs, club walks, pageants, parades, wool-sack races, and excursions.
One tradition, recorded by Samuel Rudder in 1800, is that of the ‘Whitsun Ale’. The evidence is carved in stone on Cirencester’s parish church. Although not visible from ground level, an external string-course below the parapet of the nave is decorated with a series of 39 human busts and animal heads, representing this ancient festivity. Church ales such as these combined an opportunity to raise funds for the church whilst feasting allowed all to ‘Be Merrie’.
Festivities at Whitsun, organized by church or chapel, would call for the children and adults to be dressed in their smartest frocks and suits. A service would be followed by a tea, with sports and games. And, although today supplanted by the welfare state, early Benefit Clubs and Friendly Societies, with a small annual contribution from members, provided a ‘benefit’ in times of sickness and death, with the annual club feast the social highlight of the year.
The Wilts & Glos Standard was able to report on 21 May 1864 that: ‘The Cirencester (Benefit) Clubs held their feasts, as usual, on Whit Tuesday; and having attended Divine service in the morning, assembled at their respective Inns, where each landlord had bountifully provided for them. It would be invidious to mention names, but the members of the Bull Club were particularly enthusiastic in praise of their host, Mr Blackford.’
Much later in June 1911 the same paper took a slightly different tack: ‘Another relic was the custom of the various benefit clubs to ‘walk’ from their various headquarters to a morning service at the church, returning to their respective inns for dinner and an afternoon and evening’s carouse. The term ‘walk’ was possibly applied to the morning progress because the evening locomotion might hardly with truth be so described.’
Set days have obviously changed since 1871. A century later in 1971 the Spring Bank Holiday was created to fall on the last Monday in May. This year in 2022 the day itself will be part of four days of celebration and commemoration to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II, to run from Thursday 2to Sunday 5June. It will be part of a long tradition.

ASTM D3539 – Standard Test Methods for Evaporation Rates of Volatile Liquids by Shell Thin-Film Evaporometer (Withdrawn 2015)
Significance and Use
The rate of evaporation of volatile liquids from a solution or dispersion is important because it affects the rate of deposition of a film and flow during deposition, and thereby controls the structure and appearance of the film. In the formulation of paints and related products, solvents are chosen based on the evaporation characteristics appropriate to the application technique and the curing temperature.
1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the rate of evaporation of volatile liquids of low viscosity using the Shell thin-film evaporometer. These test methods have been applied to a wide range of volatile liquids, including paint, varnish, and lacquer solvents and thinners to various hydrocarbons and to insecticide spray-base oils.

Westminster Expedition Trades Classrooms for a Road Trip Across the West
Aug 31, 2017On the first day of fall semester classes, history professor Jeff Nichols was wearing a tie-dye T-shirt, hooking a trailer full of camping gear to a van and splitting town. Nichols wasn’t alone. Environmental studies professor Brent Olson, 14 students and one program assistant all piled into two vans for a semester-long class on the road that explores some of the most intriguing sites across the American West. During Westminster’s inaugural Expedition class, students will delve into topics of environmental cooperation and conflict, landscape and meaning, Native nations and public lands. "The best learning happens when we are immersed in experiences,” said Jeff Nichols, Ph.D., history professor and Expedition coordinator. “Traveling to extraordinary places and talking with the people who live and work there will illuminate complex human and environmental issues.” The group will tour iconic sites like Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks as well as contentious places like Little Bighorn and Bears Ears. They will see Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. At each location, the class will meet with local residents and experts (including Native leaders), writers, scholars, activists, elected officials and government land managers. During their road trip, the class will not only study the sites, but also work on photo essays, journals, essays and research papers that they will present when they return to campus. “Today, the Western environment and our cherished public lands are threatened,” said Brent Olson, environmental studies associate professor and co-coordinator of the Expedition. “We designed the Westminster Expedition to offer each student a unique learning experience and to build a community of impassioned scholars dedicated to building a better future for the West." Students are already reporting back about Expedition with dispatches from the field submitted on Instagram.
Westminster is a private, independent, and comprehensive college in Salt Lake City, Utah. Students experience the liberal arts blended with professional programs in an atmosphere dedicated to civic engagement. With the goal of enabling its graduates to live vibrant, just, and successful lives, Westminster provides transformational learning experiences for both undergraduate and graduate students in a truly student-centered environment. Faculty focus on teaching, learning, and developing distinctive, innovative programs, while students thrive on Westminster’s urban Sugar House campus within minutes of the Rocky Mountains.

“While guys spent time in these Seg cells calling out chess moves over the walkways or doing push-ups until their veins bulged from their temples, I was in my cell pecking away trying to create a different world for myself. Some kind of way I felt I could rewrite my future.” For The New Yorker‘s Page-Turner blog, Daniel A. Gross tells the story of the Swintec Corporation, the nation’s sole supplier of clear typewriters, whose largest market is prisons. Pair with our own Bill Morris on using his Royal to write.
Author Jim Crace reflects on his final book in Abu Dhabi’s The National: “The thing is, I’ve written an appalling amount of books. … The writing life doesn’t last forever. I am fit and well, and there are plenty of other things to do that I’m excited about, which are incompatible with spending most of my life shut up in a room. So that’s what I’m going to do, write a final book, and that will be it.”
Japanese director Satoshi Kon died last Tuesday at the age of 46. His last words, a rambling text that his family uploaded to the Internet following his death, have just been translated to English: “Everyone, thank you for all the truly great memories. I loved the world I lived in.”
“It reminded me once again that we desperately lack a full-throated defense of this runt of the grammatical litter. We need an outright celebration of adverbs, and it is that celebration that I offer—stridently, boisterously, unapologetically.” Colin Dickey at Slate passionately, unabashedly defends the adverb.
At Flavorwire Jonathan Sturgeon considers what we’ve learned from Dubliners in the hundred years since it was first published and argues that “when it comes to realism, Dubliners, more than even Chekhov’s short fiction, is the model we routinely fail to live up to.” Sturgeon’s reflections on Joyce‘s free indirect discourse pair well with Jonathan Russell Clark‘s Millions essay on close writing, and his essay isn’t completely without hope: he concludes with a few books that, “on the surface, look nothing like Dubliners, but, in spirit… show that Joyce’s book still lives 100 years on.”

Tasks of the small intestine
Synonyms in a broader sense
Interstitium tenue, jejunum, ileum, duodenum
The small intestine is used for digestion. The food pulp is broken down further so that the nutrients and water can be absorbed.
Functions of the small intestinal mucosa
The lining of the small intestine (Tunica mucosa) has a variety of tasks in the human body. For one, some of their cells produce roughly per day one liter of a bicarbonate-rich secretion. These are, for example, the so-called Brunner's glands of the duodenum (Duodenum) and the epithelial cells in the indentations (=Crypts).
The Mucinwhich are responsible for the slimy consistency of the secretion are produced by the goblet cells. Of the The slime film serves as a sliding layer for the food pulp (Chyme), which can thus be transported forwards better by the undulating small intestine. also the mucus protects the lining of the small intestine before the sour pH value the food pulp, which is mainly caused by stomach acid. The mucus also protects the mucous membrane of the small intestine from digestion by various enzymes.
The bicarbonate, as a base, ensures that the food pulp does not become too acidic. The secretion of bicarbonate is then also stimulated by a drop in the pH value, as well as by various hormones from the gastrointestinal tract.
Other tasks the lining of the small intestine are those Breakdown and absorption of food as well as the Water absorption.
In addition, especially in the duodenum (Duodenum) and jejunum (Jejunum) numerous Hormones which, among other things, regulate gastric acid secretion (= endocrine feedback mechanisms). These include secretin, GIP (gastrointestinal peptide), CCK (Cholecystokinin) and VIP (vasoactive peptide).

Functions of the small intestine villi
Through the Unfolding the small intestinal mucosa into large (Kerckring) Wrinkles (Plicae circulares), smaller villi (Villi intestinales) and the so-called brush border (Microvilli), is her Greatly enlarged surface. This is necessary especially for that Absorption of water. Of the 8 liters of fluid that enter the small intestine every day, about 6 liters are absorbed into the body. The rest of the way continues into the colon.
Together with the water become water-soluble vitamins such as vital minerals such as sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphate.
In addition, there are numerous enzymes in the brush border that catalyze the breakdown of the various food components.
Functions of the small intestine sections
In the duodenum (Duodenum) and in the jejunum (Jejunum) finds the Bulk of carbohydrate digestion instead of. Enzymes in the brush border break down more complex carbohydrates, which are then converted into simple sugars (Monosaccharides) are absorbed into the small intestine cells via transporters.
Also the digestion of Fats (Lipids) and the absorption of lipid breakdown products take place here with the help of enzymes from the secretion of the pancreas (pancreas) instead of. Furthermore, in the duodenum (Duodenum) Iron is absorbed.
The digestion of Proteins also takes place mainly in the duodenum and jejunum. First columns certain enzymes (so-called Oligopeptidases) the proteins into their constituent parts, then these (smaller proteins or peptides and amino acids) are transferred to the cells of the mucous membrane (Enterocytes) recorded.
In the ileum (Ileum) takes place the absorption of vitamin C as well as from Vitamin B12 with the help of the so-called Intrinsic factorsthat is formed in the stomach instead. Vitamin B12 plays an important role in blood formation, which is why damage in the ileum is often associated with anemia (anemia) accompanied.
Egg white (proteins)
Since the pH value in the duodenum is almost neutral, the enzyme pepsin, which is active in the acidic gastric juice, can no longer continue Proteins digest and split. Thus, the protein digestion in the duodenum is stopped for the time being. Now the Pancreatic juice in the duodenum. The enzymes Trypsin and Chymotrypsin from the pancreatic juice are activated in the alkaline environment of the duodenum and continue protein digestion. The peptides (shredded proteins) produced by the cleavage are then again used by other enzymes (Peptidases), which are located on the microvilli of the small intestinal mucosa, are split into smaller peptides (di and tripeptides). These small protein units can then enter the superficial intestinal cells through various molecular uptake mechanisms (Enterocytes).
Different enzymes take part in the breakdown of the different sugars (carbohydrates) that people consume. Carbohydrate digestion begins in the oral cavity, where through Ptyalin (an a-amylase) the starch already in malt sugar (Maltose) and other polysaccharides (Oligisaccharides) will split. The enzymes are then used in the small intestine Lactase, Sucrase and Maltase the sugars are broken down into their components glucose, galactose, mannose and fructose. These sugar components are then transferred to the cells of the small intestine through various molecular mechanisms (Enterocytes) recorded.
Under the influence of the enzyme Lipase from the pancreas are the triglycerides (neutral fats) in glycerin and free fatty acids split. The bile acids contained in the liver are formed, these components are built into a structure that one Micelle is called. In the micelles, these fat-soluble substances can pass through the intestinal cells, where they are introduced into a protein-fat molecule (chylomicron).
The vitamins, which are fat-soluble, are transported through the intestinal wall together with other fats in the micelles mentioned above. The water-soluble vitamins passively diffuse through the intestinal wall. A special exception is vitamin B-12, which forms a complex with the intrinsic factor formed in the stomach and can only be absorbed in the ileum through this connection.
Functions of the wall of the small intestine
The muscle layer of the small intestine wall (Tunica muscularis) serves with its undulating contraction (peristalsis) the Transportation of the food pulp. This is also well mixed and crushed. The contractions are triggered by pacemaker cells, the so-called Cajal cells. These in turn are controlled by the enteric nervous system, the "nervous system of the intestine". It comprises two nerve plexuses, of which the Auerbach plexus is primarily responsible for blood flow and motility. This can be stimulated, among other things, by stretching the wall of the small intestine and triggering the contraction of the intestinal muscles near the mouth as well as the relaxation of the intestinal muscles far from the mouth, which causes the food to move towards the large intestine. This is also called the peristaltic reflex designated.

About a month ago we told you that both the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office and Tampa Fire Rescue officials had been pushing for felony charges after their investigations into the really stupid radio station turkey fryer stunt last fall that set fire to a van and left a firefighter injured. But Hillsborough State’s Attorney Mark Ober has decided not to file charges against the people involved with M.J. Morning Show on WFLZ.
Mark Ober announced that instead of facing misdemeanor charges, Todd Schnitt, host of the “The MJ Morning Show” on WFLZ, 93.3 FM, and two other members of his crew will have to enter a pre-trial diversion program for first-time offenders.
Schnitt, the two other employees and station owner Clear Channel Radio will donate at least $15,000 to Tampa Bay area charities that support fire and burn victims.
They also will engage in a four-week public service campaign to support those charities. The campaign will include five recorded announcements per day voiced by members of the show and a live broadcast from an event sponsored by or benefitting such a charity that would include interviews with victims, parents, volunteers and firefighters.
The station also will provide links to charities on its website.
Each member of the show also will have to perform 10 hours of community service at one of the charities.
Despite skating on these charges and being grateful, the attorney for the radio station went on the offensive questioning whether the Tampa firefighter was actually injured at the scene. The attorney cites conflicting reports about how the injury occurred. Maybe I don’t have enough insight into this, but I am not sure how slipping and falling and pulling a hose line are mutually exclusive. But according to WTSP-TV reporter Mike Deeson, the State’s Attorney report backs the claim from the lawyer. Deeson also says at the end of the video above that Tampa Fire Rescue officials who previously had gone public with their complaints about Ober’s handling of the case have now been “muzzled”. Here’s more:
While the WFLZ radio personalities were worried about being arrested for arson the morning of the fire, State Attorney Mark Ober says while these actions were irresponsible outrageous and offensive, it does not fit the legal definition of arson. However, Ober says it does violate the Hillsborough County Ordinance for open burning without a permit, which is a second degree misdemeanor.
We asked M.J.’s attorney, John Fitzgibbons, if this had been a John Doe, would the outcome be the same? He said, “Absolutely.”
And while internal memos show the program director of the radio station said people will either laugh or die, so it will be good on TV, Fitzgibbons and the Clear Channel attorney have been saying it was a waste of time to pursue criminal charges.
However, the State Fire Marshal’s Office disagrees. John Corbett points to the fact that a Tampa firefighter was injured in the incident. Corbett says it is not a waste of time to investigate any time a public safety official is injured.
But Fitzgibbons questions whether the firefighter was really injured. He says, in one report, the firefighter indicates he was injured while pulling out the hose. Another he indicates a different injury, which is inconsistent. In addition, Fitzgibbons says there is a video that exists that indicates the firefighter wasn’t injured. The State Attorney report agrees with Fitzgibbons.
And while the report does note a history of M.J. fire-related incidents since 2002, Fitzgibbons says his client and the station did nothing wrong. He says radio stations have been engaged in stunts for years and he maintains WFLZ took precautions, but something went wrong.

Greenville group to hold 'Rally for Solidarity'
A diverse group of activists, ministers, and community leaders want it known that all people are valued, regardless of who they are or how they worship.
This compelled the group to unite in a grassroots coalition known as “From the Ground Up.”
On January 8, From the Ground Up will rally to show that “the Greenville community is an inclusive one and one that values all people,” said Chris Fedalei, a U.S. Congressional candidate.
"We Stand Together - A Rally for Solidarity” is scheduled for 3 p.m., at the intersection of Main and Broad streets in downtown Greenville.
Participants will include local clergy of various faith communities, Greenville’s African-American, Hispanic, Muslim, Jewish, LGBTQ, and immigrant communities; political leaders, educators, and students; non-profit leaders, creatives, business owners, and healthcare providers; parents, grandparents, children, and neighbors, a flier said.
The event will feature speakers such as Lissette Treanor, an advocate for the Hispanic community; Jalen Elrod, president of the Greenville Young Democrats and a civil rights advocate; Will McCorkle, From the Ground Up co-founder; and Akan Malici, a Furman political science professor.
From the Ground Up was founded to address the needs and concerns of refugees and undocumented immigrants; racial, ethnic, and religious minorities; members of the LGBTQ community; people with disabilities and adverse health conditions; people affected by unemployment, poverty, and homelessness; and all who feel isolated or vulnerable, a flier said.
Fedalai said the coalition was formed during a time where the concept that all people are valued seemed to need affirmation.
“We especially decided to unite and organize in the wake of increased incidences of acts of intolerance towards people, particularly certain marginalized groups around the country and also in the Upstate,” Fedalei said. “We wanted to make a statement as a group, as a community, and say that these incidents are not reflective of what we stand for in the community of Greenville.”
The core members of the group are people who are already active in the community, he said.
Malici came to the United States nearly 20 years ago from Germany. His mother is a native of Turkey. His father is from Macedonia.
He said the idea of America has to do with acceptance, openness, diversity, inclusion and such like.
That idea is not always the reality America, he said.
From the Ground Up, for Malici, is about making the idea of America a reality for everyone.
“I think that’s the task of us as citizens in a democracy, all of us being co-authors in this book of America,” he said. “It’s up to us to write the next chapter in this book of America. The next chapter should always be more beautiful than the preceding chapter.”
The rally is a prelude to bringing a lot of people together to “find strength in each other and together, as we’re committed to this idea of America,” Malici said.
Elrod believes that change comes not from any particular politician or any individual, but from “the people demanding it, people mobilizing and galvanizing themselves in order to create a better tomorrow.”
“There are people who are willing to stand up for the bereaved, the disenfranchised, and the marginalized,” Elrod said.
“I think (the rally) represents that hope that we all have burning inside of us, that America doesn't have to be great again. It’s already great and it' not great because of any individual leader. It’s not great because of any policy. It's great because of its people,” he said.
Others who will speak at the rally include Adela Mendoza (Hispanic community advocate), Deb Richardson-Moore (Triune Mercy Center), Sarah Cooper (Clemson University-based advocate for LGTBQ rights), Alejandro Mejía (Parroquia Nuestro Salvador), Traci Fant (Freedom Fighters), and Rabbi Jeremy Master.
Elrod’s hope is that those who attend the rally will hear that passion and the drive each speaker has to change the country for the better.
He hopes that attendants will be inspired and “try to find their own way to contribute to the movement.”
The event will also involve music and light refreshments.

Barely six weeks to the Edo State governorship election, coalition of Community-Based Organizations, All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign team and the former National Chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole have again traded blame over the alleged plans to cause mayhem and violence during the election.
Recall that the campaign council of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and that of the APC had on July 25, 2020 traded blame over those behind the attack on PDP governors and its members at the Oba’s palace during the flag-off of the party’s campaign in Benin City.
More than a week after the incident, the coalition of Community-Based Organizations, All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign team and the former National Chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole are again at each others throat over the alleged plans to cause mayhem and violence during the election.
At a press conference in Benin City, the spokesperson of the coalition, made up of Midwest Progressives Forum (MPF), Afenmai Peace Initiative, Edo Youths United for Justice and Democracy and Niger Delta Professionals Alliance, Andrew Emwanta alleged that the APC governorship candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu had given a marching order to suspected thugs to move around all the 192 wards and thousands of units across the 18 local government to cause mayhem and violence during the election.
Emwanta, who also questioned the locus standi of the former national chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole to campaign for the party’s governorship candidate alleged that his involvement was geared towards inciting people against the state governor, Godwin Obaseki and his party, the People’s Democratic Party.
“Oshiomhole as we speak is busy going from local government to local government inciting the people. He met with some traditional rulers in the state inciting them against the governor. This is the same person that in 2016 described Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu as unfit to be governor of the state.
“He is now presenting the same person as a saint. He also said last year that the moment you join APC your sins have been forgiven, even if you are an armed robber.
“In what capacity is he campaigning because the court of appeal said having been suspended as the national chairman of the party, he can no longer act as its chairman nor its member?
“Oshiomhole’s motives of going from community to community to campaign is all clear that it is about inciting violence and inviting thugs against the state government”, he said.
While calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to rein in on Oshiomhole, he however, noted that the country already has a deadly pandemic which has claimed the lives of thousands of persons.
He said the coalition will not allow the virus of political violence to snatch the lives of innocent Nigerian citizens living in Edo state.
Reacting, John Mayaki, Chairman, Edo State APC Media Campaign Council described the allegations as mere propagandist by individual working for the state government.
“The People’s Democratic Party, alongside its unfortunate candidate, has continued the shameful lamentation typical of their propagandist electoral campaign.
“In a campaign season that has seen the unpopular party fumbling and struggling to provide solid, issue-based campaign and a catalogue of achievements, the PDP has resorted to baseless mudslinging, conspiracy twigging, and dishonorable falsehoods spewed to gain public pity. Unfortunately, while pity may temporarily attract emotional concern, it does not stand the fiery check of facts and logic.
On his part, Adams Oshiomhole, erstwhile National Chairman of APC said PDP is using the allegation to distract people from their failing campaign.
Victor Oshioke, APC chieftain and an ally of Adams Oshiomhole while denying the allegations said, the former national chairman of APC had never preached violence.
“Oshiomhole has never preached violence but governor Obaseki has been the one preaching violence in every statement he makes. It is his boys that are destroying APC posters across the state while PDP campaign posters are in display.
“So those introducing violence are Obaseki, Shaibu and their supporters”,he added.

Modern views on the Nazi-Soviet pactBreaking News
In recent years, the tone and content of disagreements between Russia and the West over interpretations of World War II have seemed reminiscent of the Cold War.
The original German-language copy of the secret protocol to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact on the Nazi-Soviet division of Europe was seized by Soviet troops in 1945 and removed to Moscow.
The Soviet government understood why the document could have a devastating effect on the image of the USSR as the nation that had done - and suffered - the most for the defeat of the Nazi curse.
The teaching of history developed by the Soviet authorities in the post-war decades instead chose to portray the pact as a masterstroke of Soviet diplomacy, one that prevented an alliance between Nazi Germany and Western capitalist nations against the USSR.

Bob Robinson and his wife, Sherry, moved backed to East Texas and now enjoy spending time at their lake house and with their 6-year-old grandson. However, in 2010, Bob started to feel extremely fatigued and overall less-than stellar, which led him to speak to his primary care physician. The results came back, giving him a life-changing diagnosis.
Bob was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a lifelong disease that affects the way your body handles glucose, a kind of sugar, in your blood. People with type 2 diabetes make insulin, but their cells don't use it as well as they should.
Even though he hadn’t been feeling great, the diagnosis still took Bob by surprise. “I knew something was wrong,” says Bob. “And I told my wife I thought I had diabetes, and she said, ‘Don’t be silly.’ It was a complete surprise when the doctor confirmed I had diabetes.”
After being diagnosed, Bob read up on his disease. He studied diligently and learned how to keep his health balanced. However, learning how to control his health and putting it into practice turned out to be two different things. Bob found ta physician at UT Health North Campus Tyler who was able to help get his diabetes under control.
Bob's physician worked with him throughout the years, evolving his treatment plan. He went from taking oral diabetes medications to injecting insulin, which he says “worked like a charm.” This type of adapting and personalized focus is what Bob loves about Dr. Bratcher. “Dr. Bratcher is very receptive to input. It's a give and take,” says Bob. “And I really enjoy that road.”
Even with his physician's guidance, it wasn’t until the past year and a half that Bob made significant changes to his lifestyle. “The path that I had initially taken, especially when I first went on insulin, was, ‘Well I can eat what I want if I cover it with enough insulin,’” says Bob. “By the time I decided to diet, which was at my wife's urging, I was taking about 95 units of insulin a day.” This heavy reliance on insulin changed when his diet did. Bob cut out things like desserts, pasta, bread, chips and fried food. He said his wife’s excellent cooking has made his change as easy as it could possibly be.
Bob lost 80 pounds and now takes only about 10 units of insulin per day.
In January, Bob and Sherry celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, which he got to celebrate knowing he has made his life even healthier than it was before being diagnosed. “It's like what my doctor told me,” Bob remembers. “He said ‘In all likelihood you're going to be in a lot better health than you would have been had you not had diabetes.’” I quit drinking socially. I had smoked until 2010 and I just quit. It just changed everything. I think I'm in better health than I would have been.”
Bob continues to read up on diabetes information and check in with his UT Health physician. “Wouldn't think of anything else,” Bob says of UT Health. “It's the greatest. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. And I say that to my friends and family. I don't have anything to say about it that's not good. They are really superb.”
Call (903) 877-7911 to make an appointment with UT Health North Campus Tyler diabetes experts. To learn more about diabetes care in UT Health North Campus Tyler, visit https://uthealthnorth.com/services/diabetes-care

If you need more incentive to increase your biosecurity expenditures, look no further than
That means transport biosecurity is an increasingly important issue. “The consequences of export interruption have never been higher,” says Steve Meyer, president of Paragon Economics.
He points to record levels of
Now, add in the fact that some disease issues would quickly shut down export markets, and the incentive is clear. “The big risk to the pork industry is in export interruption,” Meyer says. “We’re on track to export 4.7 billion pounds of pork in 2008. That’s over 50 percent more than a year ago and over 20 percent of our entire production.” The larger those export figures become, the more important transport biosecurity is to the pork industry.
If exports suddenly stopped, it could be financially catastrophic for the industry. Retail prices would fall about 27 percent. In the last year, retail pork prices averaged about $2.88 per pound. Without exports, prices would easily drop to $2 per pound. That may not sound like much, but it would trickle down. For example, producers have faced a 25 percent to 30 percent equity loss since last September.
“If exports ended, pork producers could face 70 percent or more in lost equity,” Meyer warns.

Record ratings for Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie” premiere last night — 1.35 million viewers — has earned the series a second season pickup.
Though the number is the combined total of its two Monday airings, that’s still better than the premiere numbers for “Weeds,” “Dexter,” “Californication” and “The Tudors.”
The season premiere of “Weeds” did pretty well too, drawing a combined 1.68 million people in its two airings. That’s a 25 percent jump over last year’s finale.
The new season of “Nurse Jackie” will start shooting later in the summer and premiere next year.
So, thoughts? Did you watch last night? Were you into the Edie Falco dramedy? Are you digging the character or do you think she’s a bit much?

One has to do some physical work as part of the Karma Yoga, also some personal work. Where is the time then to read for one’s mental development except at the cost of the time spent in meditation?
If the power to meditate long is there, a sadhak will naturally do it and care little for reading, – unless he has reached the stage when everything is part of the Yogic consciousness because that is permanent. Sadhana is the aim of a sadhak, not mental development. But if he has spare time, those who have the mental turn will naturally spend it in reading or study of some kind.
For one who wants to practise sadhana, sadhana must come first, – reading and mental development can only be subordinate things.

In Penang, 20% of customers were said to be Japanese, not Malaysian! There was a complex flavour within the soup that I was not able to fully understand or categorize.
Wait, wait, what are you talking about again? Please modify your Trip and try again.
I had a chat with my Japanese friend the other day about this product, as it seemed to be a popular drink in Japan.
An aroma similar to chicken soup with onion and garlic would fill your olfactory nose and tantalise your taste buds.
This makes sense, though, since it DOES contain minerals such as sodium and potassium as well as sugars, of which have the potential to increase water absorption and One part food, one part toy, and a whole box of fun! I have been to Ippudo restaurant in different outlets in both Malaysia and Singapore and it was interesting that this outlet serve a slightly different food.
Although, of all places, I didn't expect to find them at a 7-Eleven store! Warm and complex, yet hearty enough to be considered a good, homemade soup.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has launched a three-month programme in 31 government-run health complexes in Chittagong Hill Tracts for prevention and control the spread of Covid-19 infections.
The drive has been taken up in collaboration with the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS).
Communities across the three districts who visit these health facilities – including three District Sadar Hospitals and 22 Upazilla Health Complexes – in Rangamati, Khagrachari and Bandarban districts of will benefit from this Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) program amid the latest wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a ICRC press release.
Also read: ICRC extends support for dignified management of dead during COVID-19
The multi-layered strategy of the IPC program includes: imparting remote training to BDRCS volunteers, who in turn train existing cleaning staff of all government-run health structures while ensuring the availability of Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) and appropriate cleaning/disinfectant materials and tools.
Around 160 cleaners from these 31 health facilities will receive training on the full IPC program (personal safety, cleaning, and disinfection procedure). Materials like chlorine, gloves, face shields, protective outwear, gumboots, and masks are distributed among the health facilities as part of the donation under this program.
To avoid community transmission during the pandemic, 1200 households across the CHT region, which are being supported under other joint programs run by the ICRC and BDRCS, will also be provided with basic hygiene promotion items.

The latest phase of IPC program across the CHT region will continue until mid-September 2021.
“This phase incorporates the lessons learnt from the previous intervention, and integrates best practice while undertaking doable actions with impacts," said Massimo Russo, Water and Habitat Delegate of ICRC Bangladesh.
Earlier, between September to December 2020, the ICRC and the BDRCS implemented a first phase of the IPC program in all government health facilities of CHT districts, serving around 1.6 million people.

Delhi government to set up committee for treatment of rare diseases

New Delhi: As an important step towards expediting the process of providing treatment to rare disease patients, the Delhi state government, in the High Court, has proposed the setting up of a Technical cum Administrative Committee for rare diseases.
It will also set up a state corpus for the treatment of rare disorders. The government of India has allocated Rs. 100 crore corpus for these disorders under the national policy for rare diseases and would contribute funds towards the states in the ratio of 60:40.
One of the significant mandates of the committee include identification and accreditation of institutions which will carry out the diagnosis and treatment of rare conditions. Moreover, there will also be a Rare Disease Board and will review the patient applications and handle other technical details.
The same would then be forwarded to the state technical committee which will accordingly decide upon the funding of a particular patient. The applications which the state board will review would be submitted at a website which is being created by the central government as a part of the national policy.
Commenting on the development, Social Jurist Advocate Ashok Agarwal said, "This is a very encouraging step by the state government for ensuring that the patients receive timely treatment. What would now be done is that patients' applications would now be processed by the state level technical committee and would then be sent to the central technical committee. This way, the process would be streamlined and will result in providing the patients treatment without further loss of time."
The committee would include senior doctors from renowned institutions like AIIMS and MAMC and will be chaired by Principal Secretary (Health). With respect to the amount required for the initial corpus, the representatives from AIIMS and MAMC would provide an estimate on the basis of the current load of rare disease patients at the respective institutions.
The High Court has directed that the committee and rare disease board meet once every three months.

Selling my 2 position factory X2 that came off a v1 transition sentinel, 205x60 trunion. In great shape, no nicks on the stanchion or scratches anywhere on the body. 3 tokens currently installed, can remove or include as desired. Everything works as it should! Could use a service, so I'll either do that myself and increase the price slightly, or sell as is and leave it up to you. Let me know if you have any questions!

Sram X-sync 2 fancy aluminum CNC chainring, 32T, 6mm offset (NOT boost spacing), direct mount to work with sram cranksets. 6mm will be better for chainline for 12x148 boost rear spacing IF you have the clearance for it on your frame around your crank (my bike didn't have the clearance which is why I'm selling it). I'd be happy to trade for a 32T 3mm offset x-sync 2. Cheers!

Howdy! These reserves are in great shape, with a few scratches from normal riding but no damage. Rear wheel was recently replaced under warranty because of a bad batch of nipples so the rear hub is nearly brand new. 30mm internal, fresh stans rim tape and valve cores, 6-bolt brake mount, XD driver, DT Comp Double Butted Spokes. DT350 hubs are bomb-proof and perform fantastically! Both wheels are perfectly true and ready to roll!

text: Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) has been well described in the literature, and its pathogenesis has been elucidated. The most common presenting symptoms of EAH are confusion or severe alterations in mental status. Although rhabdomyolysis in association with hyponatremia has been described in other settings, only 1 case of EAH associated with rhabdomyolysis at presentation has been previously described. In this article, we report on the occurrence of EAH with rhabdomyolysis in 4 athletes participating in the West Highland Way Race, a 95-mile endurance foot race. The pathogenesis of this association is described with implications for therapy.

Uganda spearheaded a rigorous response to the HIV epidemic in the 1990s and early 2000s, making significant headway in the fight against HIV. But between 2005 and 2013 a resurgence of HIV infections occurred. The Ministry of Health and partners are now focused on addressing the key drivers of the epidemic among priority populations – including in the military services.
The Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program Uganda (DoD Uganda URC Project) is working with the Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF) to scale up HIV prevention and treatment to achieve and surpass the 90-90-90 UNAIDS targets (90% of people with HIV diagnosed, 90% of those diagnosed on antiretroviral treatment (ART), and 90% of those on ART virally suppressed by 2020) to reach epidemic control.
The DoD Uganda URC Project supports 28 antiretroviral-accredited military hospitals and 12 HIV testing service -only sites to:
- Scale up of HIV testing and HIV/sexually transmitted infection care and treatment services;
- Improve tuberculosis diagnostics and treatment;
- Strengthen prevention of mother-to-child transmission and voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) services;
- Improve laboratory quality management, diagnostics, and HIV clinical monitoring systems;
- Strengthen HIV impact mitigation and orphans and vulnerable children services; and
- Strengthen the institutional capacity of the UPDF to lead, plan, and monitor the HIV response.
With a comprehensive HIV program implemented through 40 military-run health facilities, including 28 ART-accredited facilities, the UPDF has a clear opportunity to reduce HIV transmission among military personnel and local civilian communities. Accomplishments to date include:
- Following the PEPFAR 3.0 data-driven approach to control the epidemic, the project is collecting and using data in a granular (disaggregating by sex, age, and site) manner to find and reach the “last troop” missing from care.
- Achieving the first 90 target (90% of people with HIV diagnosed) with revitalized screening and targeted testing, and by streamlining the supply chain for test kits to address frequent stock-outs.
- 1,541 newly identified HIV-infected persons were initiated on ART, resulting in 19,276 patients receiving care at military health facilities. These numbers were driven by a “Bring Back to Care” campaign focused on identifying and following up with patients who dropped out of care.
- The VMMC program circumcised 14,691 men in just under four months. It is estimated that VMMC reduces sexual transmission of HIV by 60%. Success was achieved by engaging military commanders in the planning and mobilization of mobile camp teams, assigning daily tracking targets to teams, implementing the “MOVE model” where each surgical table is assigned one surgeon and two assistants to improve efficiency, and intensifying community mobilization.
- Enrolling five military labs in the Stepwise Laboratory Quality Improvement Process towards Accreditation initiative to ensure quality HIV testing. There has been a 100% pass rate for lab proficiency tests conducted.

Pond Fish Food for Trophy Fish
Premium fish food makes a big difference for healthy pond fish. Grow trophy fish in ponds and lakes with high protein food. Supplemental feeding programs help to boost the growth and overall health of pond fish while maintaining good water quality.
Natural Waterscapes Game fish food is a good nutrition source for most species of pond fish. Most species of fish including bluegill, bass, perch, trout, bream, shiners, minnows, and tilapia thrive on the balanced blend of essential nutrients and minerals. Pond owners often use an automatic fish feeder such as the Texas Hunter Fish Feeder to provide consistent fish feeding on a schedule. Fish Feeding programs often target the forage fish (minnows, bream, shiners, bluegill) to improve the aquatic food chain production and benefit the sport fish at the top of the fish food chain.
Waterfowl Food for Ducks, Swans, and Geese
Whether feeding waterfowl at the local park, lake, or on your own pond, high quality food is the best choice. Biological studies show that feeding bread and other left-overs does not give ducks, geese, and swans a balanced diet and may, in fact, be harmful. The floating duck food pellets are specially formulated to provide the nutritional value that both wild and domestic waterfowl need to thrive.
A premium grade duck, goose, and swan food provides more than energy. Many key vitamins and minerals, such as Niacin, are included in the floating pellets for maximum bird health. Particularly in public areas where waterfowl have been fed a "junk food" diet, it may take a week of regular feeding for the birds to flock to the food.


Netflix’s re-release of Dawson’s Creek (1998-2003) is an ointment specially formulated for adults who were once kids in the 90s. We were close to adulthood in the ’90s, and the complexities of the teenage drama that played out on Dawson’s Creek shaped our youth. And now we have arrived, we desperately want to go back to our teenage years.
Dawson’s Creek was a time of simple politics, the beauty of youth and the innocence of virginity.
In the quaint town of Capeside, Dawson Leery (James Van Der Beek) is a typical ’90s American teenager with a passion for film and pop culture. The series traces the complexities of Dawson’s close childhood friendship groups, romantic relationships, and the anxiety problems that plague teenage lives.
When it comes to sexual tension, Dawson’s Creek flirted with everything from the virgin girl next door, Joey (Katie Holmes), to the sexually mature out-of-Tower Jen (Michelle Williams). And let’s not forget Dawson’s best friend, Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson), whose Tryst with a 36-year-old English teacher looks even creepier in retrospect.
Even so, our memories of Dawson’s Creek, like all nostalgic things, have to do with longing for a golden age that never really existed. COVID has reinforced this feeling of longing for a romanticized past: be it a golden age of baking bread or wearing “mom jeans”.
After a crisis, we often return to familiar stories. After the 9/11 attacks, American television and film emphasized strong models of masculinity and “cowboy” mythology. Americans were looking for a sense of security – a hero with steely eyes who could sneak in and fix everything.
Dawson’s Creek brings us back to innocence and simplicity. Even if it was always just a fantasy.
In the summery town of Dawson’s Creek, Cape Cod, teens are free to touch, hug, love, and roam freely. And all of these things they certainly do in spades.
À lire aussi: My end is my beginning: Why TV streaming services love to take advantage of your nostalgia
A central tension in the series is the love triangle between Dawson, Pacey and Joey. While Dawson’s Creek has all kinds of tears and diatribes, it has a microdrama that we know will eventually resolve. The only thing better than no problem is a problem that we know can be fixed.
Return to the stream
When the show streamed over the weekend, I jumped in and found Capeside exactly where I left it: in excruciatingly pristine condition. But with fresh eyes the cringe factor was astronomical.
One of the big elements of the show, which was different from others of its kind and era, was the cadence of dialogue. The writers apparently had no regard for how teenagers spoke.
In the first episode, Joey foreshadows the narrative of the coming season and tells Dawson: “[…] Our emerging hormones are designed to transform our relationship and I try to limit the effects. ”
Seeing again as an adult makes it feel just like a teenager will to sound, but is usually adorable short.
I don’t remember making any quick statements that perfectly articulated a meta-analysis of my own chaotic youth experience.
Then there’s the scene where new English teacher Tamara (Leann Hunley) meets Pacey for the first time in the video business and asks for a copy of The Graduate (1967). Obviously, the writers didn’t want to be subtle.
Re-experience teenage life
Dawson’s Creek brings with it a carnival of long-lost moments from the 1990s: the posters on Dawson’s wall refer to Spielberg films; his job in the local video store; the tapes and VHS tapes strewn around the teenagers’ bedrooms; the grunge-lite clothing.
Although our teenage years are a small part of our lives, they are often much more emotional. Psychologists suggest that this may be due to the effects of the often painful negotiations between clinging to the security of childhood and the dreams of emerging adulthood.
These negotiations mark these years with such force that they remain shaped in a way that other decades do not.
During this period there is also a critical connection between the importance of popular culture and moments of identity formation. The art with which we grow up shapes our psyche for life.
Maybe I don’t crawl so much at the show as I crawl into myself. Dawson’s Creek gives me a safe place to reconsider my teenage years. When I remember what I saw, I can remember who I was.
It’s strange to see the show, now we know how it turned out – both on-screen and off-screen. We leave the crew as they leave the creek and try to find their own feet in the world in their burgeoning adulthood.
Van Der Beek had some small successes: he was impressive in The Rules of Attraction (2002) and showed great self-referential television in Don’t Trust the B Apartment 23 (2012-13).
Holmes had some great roles but never seemed successful in her acting career, while Jackson shone in later television roles. But it was Williams who became a breakout star. As the youngest leading actress, she was nominated for four Academy Awards.

It was then that Dawson’s Creek offered us an escape – if only for a moment. And now it may have a similar function. In the turmoil of 2020, it’s comforting to return to the fantasy of the pristine community of Capeside, where the biggest problem is who Joey will choose.

Export capacity needed for the development of Saltic chemicals complex
Salalah Port Services Company is aiming to complete an expansion of its cargo terminal by the first quarter of 2014, having mobilised construction on the project, according to a senior executive at the company.
The expansion is required to provide export capacity for the planned ethylene dichloride (EDC) and caustic soda complex project being developed by the local chemicals manufacturer Saltic at a cost of more than $500m.
“Saltic needs to export all of its supply of chemicals,” said Arjan Weerstand, general manager for development and implementation at the Port of Salalah. “The project is still in the implementation stage because it cannot operate without the new berth.”
The project is designed with the capacity to produce 1,231 tonnes a day (t/d) of EDC – a chemical intermediate – and 1,000 t/d of caustic soda, which is used to produce paper, soap, detergents and bleach. It is unclear whether progress on Saltic’s project has been delayed as the company waits for Salalah’s port facilities to be expanded.
The expansion scheme will increase Salalah’s cargo handling capacity to 20 million tonnes a year (t/y) of dry bulk commodities and more than 6 million t/y of liquid products, up from a total cargo handling capacity of 6.5 million t/y during 2011.
Salalah Port Services Company is a joint venture of the Oman government, Danish shipping group AP Moller-Maersk and other Omani investors.
