Because of the hurricane, I've moved from New Orleans and have found a great home in Tampa. Although I left a city that I knew like the back of my hand, I have a new challenge of finding great places to eat in the Tampa / St. Pete area.
Because of the difficulty of search on this board, I would like to see the Chowhound favorites compiled into one thread. A similar thread was created a while back on the New Orleans board, and I will even compile all of the results into one post here.
So what are your favorites? What are the best? Make up your own categories if you like.
Best Mexican? Cuban Sandwich? Pomme Frites (I saw the earlier post)? Steak? Tapas? Fried Chicken? Wine Selection? Steamed Eel? Sushi? Burritos and Tacos? Pizza? Best date restaurant? Chinese? Grouper Sandwich?
Looking forward to the results - I will post a compilation in about a week.

Primary care data management
02 November 2017
A unique partnership in data management to support primary care.
The primary care departments of UMC Utrecht Julius Center, UMCG, and VUmc have joined forces to amass, process, and collectively manage anonymized healthcare data from a considerable number of family practices in the regions of Groningen/Drente/Friesland and the Kop van Overijssel, Utrecht, and Amsterdam/North Holland in their research databases in an identical, secure manner. This identical infrastructure and method of amassing data will make merging data from the individual databases straightforward. Hence it will be possible to obtain reliable information on such things as the prevalence of disease among various patient groups, or to chart variation between practices and regions. The three departmental heads, Prof. Henriëtte van der Horst (VUmc), Prof. Marjolein Berger (UMCG), and Prof. Niek de Wit (UMC Utrecht Julius Center) see ample opportunities: “Large databases containing lots of patients and plenty of information on those patients will enable research on relatively rare diseases and identification of such things as predictors of cancer, meaning we might be able to make a diagnosis and offer suitable treatment earlier on.”
The university medical centers are collaborating with ICT service providers Calculus/Proigia and ZorgTTP for the purposes of the assistive technology. The database system has been set up in such a way that encryption ensures data cannot be associated with a patient’s identity, yet can be linked securely and responsibly to data from other information systems operated by such parties as hospitals, laboratory organizations, or local authorities. This will yield interesting opportunities in terms of (joint) research. Researchers will only be given access to data relevant to their research question. A panel of primary care physicians and scientists will assess the quality and relevance of the research proposals prior to the researchers being given access to the data. Moreover, the system presents the possibility of generating mirror information which can be used for improving the quality of healthcare, for policy support, and for educational purposes.
The three centers signed a partnership agreement with the aforementioned ICT service providers on Thursday October 26, 2017. Other primary care departments at the university medical centers are also interested in participating in the database infrastructure.

Sometimes, by the time you realize your rabbit's sick it's too late. You might have thought he was fine, only to find him dead. It's not uncommon; rabbits don't display obvious symptoms of illness, which helps protect them as a vulnerable prey animal. Learn to read your bunny carefully so you notice subtle signs that something is amiss. It could save his life.
A rabbit that won't eat, especially if he loves snacks like fruits and veggies, is telling you something is wrong. Check his cage to see if he's been defecating. No sign of droppings is a red alert, as is any evidence of diarrhea. Rabbits don't throw up, so anything disturbing his gastrointestinal system has only one way out. If his gut isn't moving, he could be suffering from gastrointestinal stasis. The cause might be an obstruction, infection, gas, dental problems or stress; regardless, it's a veterinary emergency. Your bunny should always have fresh hay and clean water to help prevent gastrointestinal issues.
Rabbits' teeth grow continuously throughout their lives, requiring that you provide fiber and chewing objects to wear them down so they stay at a proper length. If your rabbit isn't eating or is eating only softer foods, is drooling or is grinding his teeth, check the inside of his mouth. You might also notice a bad odor. Inside his mouth, you might see overlong teeth, along with abscesses or mouth ulcers. Your vet needs to trim or "float" the teeth to get them back to normal. She can teach you how to do this so your bunny won't suffer from this problem.
Your rabbit's nose should always twitch. It's more than cute -- it's a sign of respiratory health. Upper respiratory disease in a bunny is very serious, as it can quickly turn into pneumonia. Signs of respiratory illness include difficulty breathing, fever, nasal discharge, sneezing and runny eyes. A head tilt can indicate a middle ear infection. A common rabbit bacteria, pasteurella, often referred to as snuffles, can cause upper respiratory infection and can cause abscesses to form on the bunny's neck and head.
Signs of Pain
If your bunny sits in a hunched-over position or grinds his teeth, something is hurting him. If he's generally a happy, outgoing rabbit but overnight doesn't want to have anything to do with you or hides away, he's telling you that something's not right -- he's inadvertently trying to hide the sickness. Take your bunny to the vet, even if he appears to be eating and breathing normally. Bunnies are delicate creatures; it's better to be safe than sorry.

In addition to reporting for a major newspaper chain, she has been published in "Horse News," "Suburban Classic," "Hoof Beats," "Equine Journal" and other publications. She has a Bachelor of Arts in English from New York University and an Associate of Arts from the American Academy of Dramatics Arts, New York City.


That's according to a new study from Brigham Young University (BYU), which suggests that just 45 minutes of playing a squad game of PUBG, Fortnite or Halo 4 can improve productivity by up to 20 per cent.
"To see that big a jump - especially for the amount of time they played - was a little shocking," said co-author and BYU associate professor Greg Anderson. "Companies are spending thousands and thousands of dollars on team-building activities, and I'm thinking, go buy an Xbox."
The researchers recruited 352 individuals and randomly organised them into 80 teams, making sure no participants with pre-existing relationships were on the same team.
Companies are spending thousands and thousands of dollars on team-building activities, and I'm thinking, go buy an Xbox
The teams were tested before and after participating in a number of activities, including video gaming, with a competitive ‘geocaching' exercise called Findamine, which gives participants short, text-based clues to find landmarks. Contestants were given cash rewards for wins.
Geocaching is an exercise in which GPS systems are used by participants to find objects.
After a first round of Findamine, teams were randomly assigned to one of three activities - team video gaming, "quiet homework" or a "goal training" discussion on improving their geocaching skills - before they were given another geocaching exercise to see how much they may have improved.
The researchers found that while the goal-training teams reported a higher increase in team cohesion than the video-gaming teams, the video gamers increased actual performance on their second round of Findamine significantly, raising average scores from 435 to 520.
Team video gaming may truly be a viable - and perhaps even optimal - alternative for team building
"Team video gaming may truly be a viable - and perhaps even optimal - alternative for team building," said lead researcher Mark Keith, associate professor of information systems at BYU.
Furthermore, the researchers claimed that participants don't need to be keen computer gamers to see the positive effects of team gaming; they claim that video game novices established communications norms, and built working relationships, even quicker with new teammates in order to learn the nuances of the game.
Computer games like Fortnite and PUBG, especially when played in squads of two or four, rather than single-player, test people's ability to make snap decisions and to work together in an acute environment.
Players must be prepared to both give and receive clear instructions from team mates, and work together towards a common goal. They test players' judgement and their analyses of situations - as well as their reflexes.
Indeed, games like PUBG aren't purely a test of reflexes, but also often reward players who avoid combat or think their way round obstacles. Even players that have been killed off can continue to participate by acting as a second pair of eyes and providing tactical ideas and insights less filtered by the stresses of playing the game.
The study has been published in AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction.

New York’s trade mission to India off
- Adam Sichko
New York state has canceled a trade mission to India planned for next month.
State officials designed the trip to give companies in the Capital Region and across the state the chance to meet with high-level government officials in India, the world’s second-largest nation by population.
Now the state has abruptly nixed the trip, a couple weeks after starting to promote it. The trip has not yet been rescheduled.
Requests for comment from Empire State Development Corp., which organized the trade mission, were not immediately returned.
On Monday morning, about 35 business owners, attorneys, state government officials and representatives from area colleges gathered for a session on India’s economy at the Albany-Colonie Regional Chamber of Commerce.
The session was hosted by Empire State Development’s two Indian-based trade reps, who flew to New York and will travel to other parts of the state promoting export opportunities in the country. The session was also originally intended to promote the trade mission.
Growing sectors in the Indian economy include nanotechnology, alternative energy and power generation, infrastructure and aerospace. That’s according to Rohan Tibrawalla, CEO of Empire State Development’s India office.
“Small- and medium-sized companies are just starting to understand the potential,” Tibrawalla said. “It could become one of their biggest markets.”
Tibrawalla pointed to India’s buying power as the prime reason why U.S. companies should take interest in the economy. An estimated 400 million people will enter India’s middle class within the next two decades—30 percent more than the total U.S. population.

Brownie Frosting Recipe
I use this browie frosting recipe for cupcakes, cake and brownies. My mom has always called it the brownie frosting recipe and I continue to call it that even though it is suitable for more than just brownies.
6 tablespoons milk
3oz (85g) softened butter
1-1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Put milk, butter and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to the boil.
Boil for 30 seconds, stirring continuously, and then remove from the heat.
Add the chocolate and vanilla and stir until the chocolate has melted.
Allow to cool before using as frosting for cupcakes or cakes. If using for brownies, pour warm frosting over brownies as soon as they are taken from the oven.
Thanks very much for sending in your brownie frosting recipe.
I have a few similar recipes that I still call by the name I grew up calling them but the recipe has now changed and used differently!!
If this frosting sets nicely it could also be used as a chocolate filling in cakes and cupcakes.
Thanks again for sharing your recipe.

Footwear Designer Creates High Heeled Birds [Pics]
Kobi Levi's series of shoes draw inspiration from a toucan, a mallard and a swan.
Freelance designer Kobi Levi uses the shoe as his canvas for artistic footwear creations. His ‘Birds series' consists of high heels made from leather, crafted into the recognisable shape and color of a toucan, mallard and swan. All of his designs are hand-made in his studio.
The piece is a wearable sculpture. It is “alive” with/out the foot/body. Most of the inspirations are out of the “shoe-world”, and give the footwear an extreme transformation. The result is usually humoristic with a unique point of view about footwear.

THE STARTUP PLAYBOOK: SECRETS OF THE FASTEST-GROWING STARTUPS FROM THEIR FOUNDING ENTREPRENEURS
BY DAVID S. KIDDER
Entrepreneurs looking for aggregated best practices from many of the top business leaders and entrepreneurs in the world should look no further than “The Startup Playbook.” The book is chock-full of practical insights on everything from hiring and deploying capital to competition and culture, all in a readily digestible and highly engaging format. It is a great go-to manual for businesspeople at any stage.
THE E MYTH REVISITED: WHY MOST SMALL BUSINESSES DON’T WORK AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
BY MICHAEL E. GERBER
The vast majority of new business ventures in the United States fail; this book argues that it is because many entrepreneurs are unconscious of the “E myth.” According to the myth, if you are good at making pies (for example) and you like doing it, you might think it’s a good idea to start a pie business. However, there is a huge difference between what it takes to make a good pie and what it takes to build a successful pie business. This book will help clarify your thinking and get you focused on what really counts when it comes to making your business achieve success.
THE AWAKENED COMPANY
BY CATHERINE R. BELL
For those interested in more than profit (aren’t we all?), this book is an excellent primer on conscious business. With an emphasis on the requisite personal growth and development that defines a conscious business leader, this book outlines how you can build a company that is as deeply fulfilling personally as it is impactful for the world and profitable for shareholders. Where the previous two book recommendations are essential for the nuts and bolts of building a business, this one helps you see the forest beyond the trees and ensure the company you are building is something everyone can be proud of.

Bitumen Market Segmented By Paving Grade, Hard Grade, Oxidized Grade, Blown Grade, Bitumen Emulsion, Polymer Modified Binders Grade Used in Road Surfacing, Waterproofing
Bitumen is composed of highly condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and is soluble in carbon disulfide. It is a mixture of organic liquids, which are viscous, black, and highly sticky.
Natural bitumen is a tar-lie form of petroleum, which is so thick, dense, and heavy that it must be heated or diluted before it will flow. Bitumen consists of sulfur and other heavy metals such as nickel, vanadium, lead, mercury, chromium, and various other toxic elements. Generally, bitumen finds its application in road surfacing, waterproofing, insulating, sealing, and others.
This global report offers our perspective on how the development of the bitumen market will unfold. The global bitumen market is projected to grow with a CAGR of ~4% by value during the forecast period and it is anticipated to grow from ~US$ 60 Bn in 2019 to ~US$ 86 Bn in 2029.
The global volume demand for the bitumen market was pegged at ~107,700 KT in 2018, which is estimated to indicate a CAGR of ~3% to reach ~153,613 ‘000 units by the end of 2029. The rapid growth in road construction activities with significant use of bitumen for paving and surfacing purposes is likely to stimulate the global bitumen market growth during the period of 2019-2029.
Due to the highly sticky and viscous nature of bitumen, it is widely used as a waterproofing agent on the roofs of residential and commercial buildings. Bituminous waterproofing is done to protect the roof from water leakage and seepage. Bitumen is used to protect roof decks from rain before installation or roofing.
It also provides an extra barrier in case of blow-offs or water penetration through roofing, ceilings or flashings. Bitumen, particularly used in waterproofing of buildings and roofs, is also called as roofing felt or tar paper, which is a sheet or a membrane made of bitumen, and is deployed to separate roof deck from the roof covering thus, providing secondary weather protection.
Bitumen is widely used as a chemical additive in several applications such as solvents and black paints. As a chemical additive, bitumen helps in improving the efficiency of paints & coatings, and also improves the viscosity of waterproofing agents. Use of chemically-modified bitumen in road construction and waterproofing as well as a candy coated chemical additive in emulsions are some other factors driving the adoption of bitumen across several industries worldwide.
When mixed with organic amines and amides, bitumen helps provide better adhesion properties and when mixed with lime and fly ash, it provides excellent and smooth road surfaces. In the paints industry, bitumen is used in the manufacturing of anti-corrosive paints and black paints. Thus, these factors are projected to boost the bitumen market during the forecast period.
Manufacturers of bitumen are developing special product grades targeted at specific end-use applications in specific conditions to provide the most suitable option for end users.
For example, different viscosity grades are preferred for road surfacing in different regions with different climatic conditions. Average road surface temperature, expected traffic loads, type of whether (hot, cold or humid), type of vehicles to be used frequently, and many such factors are being considered to design specific product grades geared towards such targeted applications.
Such product offerings are helping bitumen manufacturers carve out a niche for themselves in the market and gain supplier of choice status among end users.
The uplift in the East Asia bitumen market is backed by the rising demand for road construction activities and waterproofing applications. For instance, approximately 15% of the total bitumen used in the world was deployed for water proofing of buildings and the demand is expected to increase at healthy pace over the upcoming years. Paving grade and oxidized/blown grade bitumen are estimated to be the most desired products in the bitumen market.
The sales paving grade and oxidized/blown grade bitumen are likely to be high as compared to other products by the end of 2029. Moreover, major market participants have started entering into strategic collaborations with local or small companies to seize their market presence. Thus, contributing towards the growth by mergers and acquisitions in the bitumen market.

Sometimes we need to look back in order to see the road forward.
Whenever I reflect on the success of California's climate policies, I like to hop in my time machine and dial it all the way back to ancient history - circa 2010 - when I was a young staffer in Washington D.C. fresh out of grad school with big policy dreams and an even bigger student debt.
For climate advocates, they were the best of times, which quickly became the worst of times. In 2010 the Senate was considering a federal climate bill to finally reign in the carbon pollution driving climate change, while jump-starting a clean energy economy to help pull us out of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Visions of hope and change ran high.
But as history goes, the bill failed. Despite different accounts of how the story went down, all agree those were some dark days for the climate movement.
I was there to see it firsthand, and as dreams of big climate policy started to crumble, many advocates held on to one thought to keep us going: "At least we have California..."
You see, at the time, California was the last-great hope to lead on climate policy. The state had beaten back the fossil fuel industry's attempt to overturn its landmark legislation known as "AB 32," which sets an ambitious goal for carbon reduction by 2020 and has as its centerpiece a carbon market to price carbon and lower emissions in the state. California set out to prove it is possible to lower carbon emissions and grow the economy at the same time. The New York Times called it "A Grand Experiment" and a prominent Harvard economist proclaimed, "The worst possible thing to happen is if it [the carbon market] fails."
The stakes were high: the state's economy was still trying to emerge from the malaise of the great recession, unemployment was in the double digits, opponents had boatloads of money, and nay-sayers were predicting certain economic doom. In 2012, full of determination, I headed back home to California to work on this climate policy and hopefully be part of something truly historic.
Now 'back to the future' in 2015, signs are showing California's climate policy, including the carbon market, is working. A report from my colleagues at Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) gives a terrific analysis of a program which has been operating steadily for two years, and now covers 85 percent of California's carbon emissions - including the transportation sector.
Since the launch of the carbon market, California's economy (GDP) has been growing - while "capped" emissions have been shrinking. Overall job growth is up (outpacing all other states), and California's clean energy economy is thriving. The program is proving that carbon pollution and economic growth can be separated and move in opposite directions (see graph).
Looking forward at the road ahead, we know this policy cannot truly be considered successful unless it works for communities in the state most overburdened by pollution, climate impacts, and economic vulnerability. In some cases, California's comeback has not been fully distributed and shared by all: income inequality is still among the highest in the nation, and unemployment, pollution, and poor public health is mostly concentrated in low-income communities of color. Worse still, impacts of climate change in the form of record heatwaves and worsened drought, are already devastating some of the state's poorest communities.
California's climate policy, ambitious as it may be, is not a proxy for all the reform needed to help address these issues - but it has been a starting place for meaningful dialogue, much needed investment, and resiliency-building for communities on the front lines of climate and pollution impacts.
So far the California carbon market has generated $2.2 billion in auction proceeds from polluters. These funds are going to be reinvested back into the state in the form of low-carbon infrastructure like clean energy projects, mass transit, and urban greening. What's more, a minimum 25 percent of the funds are dedicated to "disadvantaged communities" - or communities in the state most impacted by pollution, poverty, and poor health.
These investments are starting to come to life: solar panels on low-income homes, swapping-out gas guzzlers for clean vehicles, urban parks and gardens in park-poor neighborhoods, weatherized homes, and affordable housing near transit hubs are some of the projects already approved or, in some cases, underway. These investments will reduce pollution, create jobs, and enhance infrastructure in communities most impacted by pollution and climate change.
And finally, this is not just about California -it is also paving the way for ambitious climate policies on the state, federal, and even international scale. President Obama proposed new rules on carbon emissions from power plants that will encourage other states to design home-grown climate policies; Governor Jerry Brown has committed the state to increase renewable energy to 50 percent and cut its oil use in half by 2030; the state legislature is working to expand and extend current climate policies; and countries and states around the world are looking at taking the best elements of California's carbon market home with them.
Signs of hope and momentum in the climate movement are blossoming again. It has not always been smooth, and the work is far from over, but California is crafting and refining solutions that work for people, the economy, and the planet. These are the signs I am thrilled to see of California's steps forward on climate policy, signaling its "grand experiment" is working.

If there's only one thing Digitalism has learnt in more than seven years of making music, it's that it never hurts to ask. Take the German dance duo's most recent experience in the recording studio: as Jens ''Jence'' Moelle and his bandmate, Ismail ''Isi'' Tufekci, began laying down tracks on their just-released second album, I Love You, Dude, they realised something was missing.
''We had an early demo for the track Forrest Gump and we just felt like we wanted to try something new,'' Moelle tells S by phone from Hamburg. ''We thought, 'Hey, Julian Casablancas [of the Strokes] might like this,' only because he'd just released his solo album and it was quite electronically produced.
''So we got in touch via his manager, he sent over a 30-second recording with him on guitar and that was it, done, for him. It's funny, all it took was asking.''
The two DJs, who met while browsing vinyl in a Hamburg music store, have made it something of a habit to keep lifting their own expectations. Although Digitalism's debut album, 2007's Idealism, received critical praise and won them especially large followings in Britain and Japan, Moelle is still pinching himself that people such as Casablancas would take the time to respond to him.
After Moelle assures me he isn't ''just saying this in Australian interviews'', he adds that Sydney electro act the Presets have played a significant role in helping Digitalism boost their global exposure.
Again, Moelle and Tufekci's initial interaction with the Presets came through a random email request Moelle sent the band, asking to hear their music.
''I really loved that song Down Down Down off their first album [Beams] and I just really wanted that track,'' Moelle says with a laugh.
''So we asked them, 'Could you send it over?' and they turned out to be fans of ours and they wanted to remix us and then all of a sudden we were touring with them and more people knew about us. Everything now is just so 24/7 connected with the world. You can get in touch with everyone.''
Musicians are beginning to return the favour to Digitalism.
Sparkadia main man Alex Burnett, who co-wrote the track 2 Hearts on I Love You, Dude, approached Digitalism about collaborating with them on their new album.
''He sent us a couple of ideas over and we have only just met him recently, actually, and the ideas were absolutely amazing,'' Moelle says.
''Music seems to come out of him naturally, he has so many great ideas. In fact, we're kind of in love with Australian music. Tame Impala, Cut Copy, the Bang Gang guys … there's lots of really good music coming out of there.''
Digitalism will play Parklife on October 2 at Kippax Lake, Moore Park. See parklife.com.au for tickets and the full line-up.


Football: Westerville North Warriors fall in Division I, Region 3 playoff opener
The end of the season felt all too familiar for the Westerville North football team.
After a three-game winning streak gave the Warriors hope of recording their second consecutive winning season, they lost six in a row to finish the year, including a 63-21 setback at fourth-seeded New Albany on Oct. 29 in the first round of the Division I, Region 3 playoffs.
Much as in the first meeting this season, a 35-14 loss to the Eagles on Aug. 27, 13th-seeded North hung in for a while. Senior quarterback Wyatt Buxton completed touchdown passes of 36 and 70 yards to senior wide receiver James McCreery and junior receiver Daniel Johnson, respectively, and the latter made it 28-14 midway through the second quarter.
But three touchdowns for the undefeated Eagles in a span of 1 minute, 37 seconds turned the game into a blowout.
“Plays kind of snowballed on us,” coach Bryan Johnson said. “We had chances to make it a different game. We were in it but it got away from us.”
Buxton completed 20 of 35 passes for 266 yards and three scores but was intercepted twice, with one returned for a touchdown. McCreery finished with eight catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns.
“Westerville North has some excellent athletes and they can be hard to defend when they’re throwing the ball well,” New Albany coach Bubba Kidwell said. “We were leading but it wasn’t a comfortable lead at all.”
The Warriors also lost to New Albany 34-3 in the first round last year, although they played three additional regular-season games after that because of COVID-19 pandemic-related schedule changes.
North finished 6-4 in 2020 but started this season 0-2, losing 14-7 to visiting Westerville Central on Aug. 20 and then falling at New Albany. The Warriors used a better second half against the Eagles to kick-start their best stretch of the season, in which they defeated Watkins Memorial 49-16 on Sept. 3, Washington Court House 48-14 on Sept. 10 and Delaware 42-7 on Sept. 17 to begin OCC-Capital Division play.
The Washington Court House game replaced North’s originally scheduled league opener at Franklin Heights. That game was canceled because of COVID-19 cases within the Falcons’ program.
North lost its next five games after the win over Delaware, falling 62-21 at Westerville South on Sept. 24, 35-21 to Canal Winchester on Oct. 1, 42-7 at undefeated Big Walnut on Oct. 8, 29-18 at Worthington Kilbourne on Oct. 15 and 34-26 at Dublin Scioto to finish the regular season Oct. 22.
“We had some injuries and some COVID in the program. Everything hit us right in the middle,” Johnson said. “This is an extremely tough league. We are trying to get to that upper level.”
Buxton completed 165 of 301 passes for 2,205 yards with 22 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
Senior Chris Campbell led all running backs with 719 yards and six touchdowns on 124 carries. Junior running back Stanley Jackson Jr. added 109 carries for 389 yards and a team-high nine touchdowns while also playing considerable time at linebacker, where he made 32 tackles during the regular season.
McCreery was Buxton’s top target, leading the Warriors in catches (57) and yards (920) with seven touchdowns. Johnson had a team-high eight receiving touchdowns, with 40 catches for 575 yards.
Senior tight end Donovan Varney had 37 catches for 390 yards and four scores.
Junior linebacker Carson Bopp had a team-leading 63 tackles through 10 games. Sophomore defensive back Austin Baker had two interceptions, and McCreery, Varney and junior linebacker Corey Howlett each added one.
“One of the toughest speeches is to talk to the seniors at the end of the season, but it’s getting easier and easier because our kids are such good kids,” Johnson said. “They understand the big picture.”
•Record: 3-8 overall
•OCC-Capital standings: Big Walnut (7-0), South (6-1), Dublin Scioto (5-2), Canal Winchester (4-3), Worthington Kilbourne (3-4), North (1-5), Delaware (1-6), Franklin Heights (0-6)
•Seniors lost: Jack Bichsel, Wyatt Buxton, Chris Campbell, Nathan Dunfee, Jackson Hammel, Alex Hendon, Johnathan Henry, Zach Holzapfel, Pasha Krantz, Tommy Lindsey, James McCreery, Mason Montgomery, Darrel Nzzegge, Dylan Penny, Zac Taylor, Donovan Varney, Connor Warthman, Ethan Weaver, Edwin White and Kaleb Yuusuf
•Key returnees: Austin Baker, Carson Bopp, Corey Howlett, Stanley Jackson Jr., Daniel Johnson and Jakob Puster
•Recap: North will graduate the first class to play under coach Bryan Johnson for four years, a stretch that included the Warriors’ first playoff appearance in 21 years. Last year’s 6-4 record was the team’s first winning season since 2004, and the Warriors started 3-2 this year before various injuries and illnesses made an impact and led to a six-game losing streak.
Buxton and Dunfee, a quarterback and center, respectively, helped anchor the offense throughout the last three years.
Jackson Jr., a junior, should be among the team’s leaders both at running back and linebacker next season, along with Bopp, another junior.
•Quotable: “Just the maturation of the program and what they stood for, doing the right things, set the tone for the entire team this season. We were in a tough league and had some tough losses, but we never hung our heads. We always bounced back.” — coach Johnson

Does anyone else out there crave Taco Bell from time to time? I dig their nachos. On Friday night, rather than "make a run for the border" I decided to imitate Nachos Bell Grande in my kitchen...only I served mine on a plate instead of in a little cardboard box.
I started by browning some lean ground beef and then using a taco seasoning packet and following the directions to make "standard taco meat".
Here are the other nacho toppings: nacho cheese or salsa con queso, sour cream, taco sauce, refried beans, chopped tomatoes and green onions. I heated the beans on the stovetop. I added some beef broth to thin the beans so that I could pour them over the chips. The queso was heated in the microwave. Oh, and I shredded some lettuce too.
To assemble: I made a bed of shredded lettuce on a plate, then arranged a handful or two of chips on top. Then in no particular order I topped the chips with beans, cheese, taco meat and taco sauce. Then I added more chips and topped with more beans, cheese, taco meat, and sauce. Next, I dumped on the chopped tomato. I crowned my knock-off nachos with a generous dollop of light sour cream and sprinkled with the green onions. Ta-dah! Nachos Bell Grande Ala Krista! You might wonder if they really tasted like the Taco Bell version. According to my husband: "Yes, but better!"
They didn't last long, that's for sure!
3/4 lb - 1 lb ground beef prepared with taco seasoning packet
nacho cheese or salsa con queso
1 medium tomato, diced
1 green onion, sliced
light sour cream
Brown ground beef and prepare according to taco seasoning packet directions. Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan. Add a little broth or water to thin them to a "pourable" state. Heat cheese in the microwave.
Place shredded lettuce on a serving plate. Top with 1/2 of chips. Add desired amount of beef, cheese, beans, and taco sauce. Top with the rest of your chips. Repeat the beef, bean, cheese, taco sauce layer. Sprinkle with diced tomato. Top with sour cream and green onions.

In this article on transform your thinking, transform your life, I am going to review some of the more practical aspects of being able to make significant changes in the areas you most desire. Much has been written on this topic over the years, but in comparison, very little has been applied on a consistent, long-term basis which has resulted in significant results.
By querying any well-known personal development teacher or guru about the percentage of people who actually apply what they teach and get results, you may be surprised to discover that the percentages are “extremely” low. This does not mean that their instruction and materials are of low quality, it just means that the message is not getting through sufficiently to their students for them to transfer that knowledge into real-world results.
It Does Come Down to “Thought”
All teachings down through the ages that intended to improve the well-being of their fellow companions on this planet centered around a change of thought of some kind. Whether it is medical advice, political leanings, spiritual growth, religious affiliation, business growth, relationship training, or just an increase in overall joy and happiness, it all begin with a single thought which is expanded upon from there.
When we slow down enough to “pause and reflect” a bit, we are able to observe many of our thoughts which are flying through our minds on a moment-to-moment basis. Because of past conditioning, many of these thoughts are the same and continue to repeat themselves.
Because we do not often slow down enough to actually consciously “think” about the topic of our current interest, we fail to generate “original” thought on the subject and are left with the remains of “borrowed thinking”, which we have previously picked up from many sources (not all were reliable by any means) along the path of our journey through life. We are basically stuck on a merry-go-round of thoughts that are not even our own but are still the “main influencers” of our lives.
Just waking up to this point of view of how and what we have been thinking, puts us in the enviable position to “consciously choose” what we desire to think by improving how we think. This is a tremendously powerful concept of real and lasting change. The power of our thought already exists as is reflected in our current circumstances. Learning “how” to take hold of the steering wheel and direct that power is what will make the changes we desire become reality.
Undoing the Mess
The journey of consciously directing the power of our thought is primarily a matter of letting stuff go which is no longer useful or just gets in the way. It is an “undoing process”. It would be much easier if we were starting with a blank slate, but that is definitely not the case. We have many ideas, perceptions, opinions, thoughts, and beliefs about ourselves, the world, and other people that may not be as accurate as we currently think.
Since this is the case, we need to create a practical way to make this clear to us so that we can see and understand what is going on. It is only by us experiencing this so that it makes sense to us, will we ever agree to the possibility that what we see and believe may not be so.
The only reason for doing all this questioning of our beliefs is because we are not satisfied with our current results. That being said, we must really desire to break through our self-imposed barriers to proceed, or we will not be willing to dig deep and explore enough to make a significant change. We have a lot invested in the beliefs we currently hold. In our minds, they reinforce our very existence and protect us in many ways (past hurts and trauma), whether or not they are serving our overall best interests.
By proceeding with this process of “undoing” and cleaning up the mess, we will have to have a firm commitment. If we do, we can move through the inevitable resistance, fear, and uncertainly in order to let the light shine in. At this point, the cloud covering is rather thick.
Allowing the Light to Shine Through
Breaking through the cloud cover of misinformation is not an easy process, but it is very doable and worthwhile. The light of our true selves has been shining all the time, but we have blocked it by our focus on the illusions of how we think things are. We are so invested in our current belief structure that we are willing to die for those very beliefs in one way or another, whether through war, disease, broken relationships, poverty, etc.
This is a journey few choose to take on a sustained basis. Being willing to see and experience peace, love, abundance, kindness, and joy, when seeing evidence without its opposite, is quite too much for most with which to deal. It is much easier to acquiesce to the current state of affairs.
But there are a few brave souls such as the protagonist in the book by Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Jonathan did not fall in line with the survival tactics of the other seagulls. He created a path of his own to follow in spite of all the scorn and derision he received from his fellow birds. For those who have read the book or seen the movie, you know what I am talking about. He did what was necessary to have the light shine through which led to a much more harmonious and abundant existence for Jonathan.
The following quote sums things up nicely:
“To learn how to think is to learn how to live, for our thoughts go into a medium that is Infinite in Its ability to do and to be. Man, by thinking, can bring into his experience whatsoever he desires—if he thinks correctly, and becomes a living embodiment of his thoughts.”
Now for some Practical Steps
As we may be aware, that reading about this stuff may all sound good, but finding a practical way to make things happen for our benefit, where we actually see real-world results is quite another thing. Ask any self-development “searcher for truth” who has been pursuing this for many years with only mediocre results, if the road is challenging or not. On the other hand, there must be a way for us to proceed and get some results that we can feel good about.
Whatever we have gained in our growth so far is significant. All that we have done to get to where we are right now means something. It has prepared us for this very moment.
Let’s outline a few ideas of how to proceed from here in the most advantageous way so that we be of benefit not only to ourselves but to all those who may be fortunate enough to pass our way moving forward.
1) Pause and Reflect — the first step in this process is to slow down enough so that we can catch a glimpse of what thoughts are flying by, so we can determine whether they are good for us or not. Just the mere awareness of them will dissipate their intensity and flow a bit.
2) Understanding their Impact — just by getting a clear vision of how these thoughts are affecting our lives is a “wake-up call” to some extent. Not having realized what we have been saying to ourselves all this time can be a real eye-opener for sure.
3) Realize We Have the Power — “choice” in this lifetime is our inherent quality which we can use for our benefit. The thoughts and beliefs which are currently in place and influencing our results are merely just that, thoughts, and beliefs. It is our choice if we desire to leave them in place, or let a few go which are not serving us, and replacing them with more empowering symbols of our greatness.
4) Relax and Keep Things Simple — at this point the last thing we want to do is complicate things by making this into a long-drawn-out process. Relax, let go, and observe. It’s time to “remember”.
5) Remembering What It was Like — this is a crucial part of the process because it is actually a combination of “forgetting” as well as “remembering”. We must allow ourselves to let go and forget the ideas we have accepted which no longer make sense to us based on our current observations from Step One (1). The first step in this process sets us up to be able to make constructive and meaningful changes in our thinking, and subsequently in our lives. We need to Observe the Truth of What is actually Going On, and stop lying to ourselves in any way. We now are positioned to remember what it was like to just “Be”. We allow our childhood memories to reemerge so that we can “experience” the feelings and gratitude of just being alive, where each ordinary moment is actually quite extraordinary.
6) Use this Awakened State to Choose Wisely — we have now positioned ourselves to see clearly, and thus choose wisely based on our overall goals and purpose in life. With an understanding that anything is possible, we can select exactly how and what to think to get our creative engine started and in gear to transport ourselves wherever we desire to go.
7) The Final Step — based on our newly awakened state we now create our very own Life Design based on the thoughts and beliefs we desire to possess. We let go of the old, and embrace the new. Write out your very own Life Design Statement and don’t hold back. This is the “New You” based on your “conscious choices” in an awakened state of being. Don’t shortchange yourself here as you now realize anything is possible. Read this statement two (2) to five (5) times per day when feeling relaxed, and continue to do so until your inner vision has transferred itself into your physical reality.
Let’s Sum Things Up a Bit
Okay, we have covered quite a bit in a few short paragraphs. Meaningful life changes are not complex. When we keep things simple like, “Is this really what we want?”, our entire being responds to our authenticity. Lying to ourselves just to get by and avoid the pain and struggle of change, only works short-term before we see some undesirable symptoms and side effects emerge in our lives.
When living the truth we can never go wrong. There is a part of ourselves, who some call the “conscience”, which will constantly remind us when we are off track. There is nowhere to go or hide from our true selves. No matter how much misinformation we may have accepted along our life journey, the intrinsic powers we possess for joy, love, and happiness have always been there.
It is now time to reassess and reframe some of our former ideas of who we are and of what we are capable. There is a world out there in need of our unique gifts and inner strengths. It is time to leave the world of benumbed adults who are only interested in fitting in and accepting the ordinary, and to move beyond the mindset of scarcity and limitation, and embrace our “true genius” in order to create a truly miraculous life which is of value to all.
Let us move forward together in transforming our thinking and our lives to not only increase our personal success but to influence others in life-changing ways. Money and success are merely the inevitable by-products of living a life of generosity, value, and service.
“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” — Albert Einstein —
To your inevitable Success,

Bite-sized morsels positive to be successful at your subsequent brunch.
If you’re on the lookout for a candy little morsel with nostalgic attraction, look no additional than the bonbon cookie. According to the “Betty Crocker Cooky Book,” the place I found the recipe, this cookie was merely all the fashion between 1955-1960. These bite-sized cookies have the visible attraction of bonbons, however a pleasing, buttery, shortbread-like taste.
I’m pretty sure that bonbon cookies have been by no means meant to be tailored right into a cannabis-infused deal with, and that’s what makes this recipe so enjoyable. Making these cookies will make you are feeling like Donna Reed with a darkish aspect. The earthy taste of cannabutter works properly with the sweetness of the icing, making for a completely pleasurable edible expertise.

Bankrupt Pennsylvania hospital seeks cash to reopen
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, March 30, 2009
Plagued by a lack of funding and lengthy bankruptcy proceedings, Brownsville (PA) Tri-County Hospital has closed twice in the past five years. Most recently, it stopped operations on Feb. 12, after its board of directors recognized it would fall $200,000 short on payroll. Six days later, it filed a Chapter 11 petition as well, listing more than $12 million in debts to several hundred creditors, including employees who weren't paid. But now hospital representatives have sent a letter to President Barack Obama asking for federal stimulus money. They say their project perfectly meets the criteria for such funding, such as providing medical care for a rural, impoverished area.

GOSNELL Movie About Abortion Doctor Releases First Trailer
By Tess Farrand, Staff Writer
Last month Movieguide® reported that the new movie, GOSNELL: THE TRIAL OF AMERICA’S BIGGEST SERIAL KILLER, which exposes abortionist Kermit Gosnell will come to theaters in October. GOSNELL stars Dean Cain and Nick Searchy, who also directs the film and Earl Billings (THE ASSIGNMENT, SOMETHING NEW) who plays the title character Gosnell.
The trailer was released on YouTube last week and gives audiences a first look as investigators uncover the horrors of Gosnell’s abortion clinic.
Producers ultimately hoped for a PG-13 rating and got it. We’re already thankful that GOSNELL and will suggest the graphic evils of the doctor’s practice rather than outright show them.
Check back in October for the full Movieguide® review of GOSNELL.

Since being forced out of WeWork two years ago, Adam Neumann has stayed quiet in public about the near-collapse of the co-working empire he co-founded. But at the DealBook Online Summit on Tuesday, he admitted to regrets — and tried to revise the record about what happened.
“I have had a lot of time to think, and there have been multiple lessons and multiple regrets,” he told DealBook’s Andrew Ross Sorkin in his first public interview since leaving the company.
Among the mistakes he identified:
He conceded that WeWork’s rapid rise — at its peak in 2019, the company was valued at more than $47 billion — may have had a corrosive effect on his thinking. “It went to my head,” he said. “You lose focus on really the core of your business and why this business was what it meant to be.”
“It was never my intention not for the company to succeed,” he said, expressing regret at the employees who joined the company only to see their stock options drop deep underwater after WeWork’s valuation fell to about $9 billion.
He regretted WeWork’s overcomplicated accounting measures, such as the notorious “community-adjusted EBITDA,” which drew derision from analysts and prospective investors. “When it comes to finance, it’s better to be boring,” he said.
He even admitted to making a mistake in talking too much during a 90-minute meeting with Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, several years ago. “It made no sense,” he said. “I was not in the right place.”
But in the interview, Mr. Neumann also disputed or sought to play down some of the most eye-catching anecdotes about WeWork that circulated after his ouster:
He bristled at the criticism that he received a golden parachute after being forced out, even as the business’s valuation plunged and hundreds of employees were laid off. “This perception that as the company went from $47 billion valuation down to nine and I profited somehow while the company is going down is completely false,” he said.
He disputed the characterization of his selling the “We” trademark to the company for $5.9 million before the company sought to go public in 2019, offering a lengthy explanation of what he said happened. Ultimately, however, he said he regretted how it had played out: “I understand it sounds horrible,” he said. “If I went back and I could change time and avoid that mistake, I would.”
When asked about reports of boisterous drinking and drug use by employees at WeWork functions, Mr. Neumann said that “we had a fun culture.” He said that as the company grew, its culture should have matured as well: “I think that could’ve happened sooner.”
Still, Mr. Neumann walked away with hundreds of millions of dollars, and he retains a significant number of shares in WeWork, which went public earlier this year. (He claimed some credit for helping broker the company’s merger with a special-purpose acquisition company, or SPAC.) He has since turned to investing his personal fortune on projects including, recently, cryptocurrency initiatives.
But he also offered some advice to entrepreneurs from the mistakes he had made. “In life, sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down,” he said. Valuable lessons are learned during the low times, he said, and “you can apply that lesson and it will be a great part of your journey and will become a good thing, not a tragedy.”

iTunes or Google Play Store which is better for Movies, TV Series and Music
Hello guys, in this article of mine, i will compare the 2 giants of the entertainment and technology ecosystem, iTunes and Google Play Store. It may not be the easiest task to compare these two benchmark services, as comparing these 2 brands is like comparing 2 religions, but anyways lets give it a try!
Also this article is not about the overall comparison (which is kind of impossible), instead i’ll be focusing only on quality and quantity of the media services (Movies, TV Shows and Music), provided by these two. So lets start with the Rent or Buy Service.
Buy and Rent Movies and TV Shows
Both Google Play Store and iTunes provide their user, the convenience to buy or rent movies and TV shows, on their respective platforms. Both the services provide ample of content to their users, to select from. Lets talk about each of them separately.
The online digital library or catalog of iTunes around 40K+ movies , more than 10 thousand TV shows!!. The service provides both recent and old titles of Movies an TV shows. Some of the ongoing TV series are also available, the next day they are aired on their respective networks. So in terms of media content, iTunes is way ahead than any other service, in its niche.
You can easily purchase any movie or TV show from iTunes, by simply logging through your iTunes account. There is also an option to rent the content, which gives you the access of that particular item for 30 days, and 24 hours once you get started.
Google Play Store
When it comes to numbers, Google does not reveal the actual quantity of media content it possess, which certainly doesn’t mean it is any less (it might be slightly lesser then iTunes). Like iTunes Google Play Store also provides ample of TV shows and movies to its users. Google also showcase the latest and ongoing titles of TV shows in its library.
Likewise iTunes you can straight away buy your desired content or you can rent it and save some money, for either way, you just need to log in the portal and select your stuff. You can access you rented content within 30 days after you rent it and 48 hours, once you get started.
When it comes to price, both of the services, ask almost similar amount. Most of the standard definition (SD) movies are available for around $4 for rent and around $15 to own, on the other hand, for high definition (HD) prices go upto $5 to rent and $25 to own.
For TV shows, user have to pay and for entire series, prices may go upto $30 to 40 per season. Although the prices are not fixed, for both movies and TV shows, and they may depend upon several other factors like popularity, age etc.
Accessibility of Service and Content
Both the services comes with sleek and intuitive interface, which is quite easy to use. Google Play Store can be accessed by both, an android supporting device or a web browser, while iTunes is accessible through iTunes app only.
On more worth noticing thing is that, Android devices does not support iTunes application, as it is not available in the Google Play Store. On the other hand, Apple devices support the Google Play Movies and TV app, but there are some restrictions on this.
Apple users can only stream or watch the preexisting content which is present on their account, which means the cannot buy or rent the content with the help of Google Play Movies and TV app and in order to do so, they have to use the the web browser.
Another thing i want to mention here is that, iTunes user can only watch their content on their Apple or iOS devices while Google Play users can watch it anywhere they want, by logging in their account from any browser. Google play users can also stream their content on iTunes on an Apple device, although they cannot buy content from iOS.
With Google Play Store you can directly stream a movie or TV Show as soon as you buy or rent it, while in iTunes, first you have to download the full movie or episode, then only you can start watching it (except with Apple TV you can directly stream anything).
Google Play music Vs iTunes
Apart from all the movies and TV shows, both of these services also serve a lot of music. Both the services have infinite number of tracks in their library, which you can enjoy for years, without any repetition.
iTunes has Apple Music service with a bazillion no of tracks. The service costs $9.99 per month individually, while there is also a family plan which costs $14.99. With this Family plan you can add upto 6 family members (six devices), you can also share your play list with your family with iCloud service, which is free.
iTunes also give you curated playlists, and radio channels, with unlimited skips and rewinds, which is quite amazing feature for music lovers.
Google Play Music
Likewise Google Play Store also have a separate app for music, which is Google Play Music. Along with its massive songs library, Google Play Music also allows its users to upload upto 50,000 songs. Google play Music also cost $9.99 per month. There is also an offline mode for which you have to down load songs separately.
Google also offers family plans and that too, with similar price as Apple music ($14.99). You can share you plan with five members of your family. But here’s the catch, you will get a free You Tube Red membership for free along with this pack (which normally costs around $9.99 alone ).
Although these services are doing great in their niche, but there are other services in the market which are offering tough competition to them. Online streaming services like Netflix, Hulu plus, Amazon Instant Videos are some of them. While Netflix and Hulu Plus are quite different form them as they offer online streaming for whole of their content on a monthly subscription.
Amazon is the service which offer the similar kind services and is the biggest rival in the market. Along with Buy or Rent service amazon also offers a lot of its content for free streaming. There is also an amazon Prime subscription which offers a lot of movies, TV shows for free streaming, free subscription for Prime Music, and a lot of mouth watering services only in $99 per month. This i think is much better than the prior services.
Spotify for music
When it comes to music streaming, Spotify is the biggest hurdle for both Apple Music and Google Play Music. The service provided by Spotify is exceptional and above all, the service has made its place in many of the music lovers across the world. The interface is magnificent, the features are amazing. Along with its $10/month service, they also provide a free add based service, which is the biggest catch they have.
Also read- How to get Free Spotify premium Legally?
Which is Better?
I dont think it really matters, which one is better, because your decision will be biased on which device you already have but i one important thing i want to mention here is, if you are a Apple household, then iTunes is pretty good for you, while if you are interested in diversed technology or devices, then you should choose Android.
Thats all folks! if you have any other problem regarding this subject, you can leave your comment below. I will try my best to help you.
Also, if you think I m missing something, then do remind me with your comments. Your opinion is very important for us 🙂

Nov 12, Sabina rated it it was amazing. My all time favorite book, after Crime and Punishment from Dostoyevsky.
In the course of his bhcay, he has worked as a traveling salesman selling socks, books and sports clothing, as well Jorge Bucay is a gestalt psychotherapist, psychodramatist, and writer from Argentina. I found this book almost therapeutic. The stories are very beautiful and inspiring. Palo mi je napamet. More just a nice evening read bucaj keep you company and comfort you after a long day. Dieses Buch hat mich in gewisser Weise auch therapiert.
Jorge and the stories on the other hand were very lovely and touching, many of the topics had me thinking for days even after finishing the book and I hope that I’m able to remember them just as well as Jorge did. I want to download free PDF version?
It probably helps if you relate to Demian the protagonist. Paperbackpages.
He divides his attention between attending therapeutic teaching conferences, which have taken him around the world, and the writing of his books, which he considers therapeutic tools. He tells storys, he never told me directly what to do. Jan 11, Masha rated it it was amazing.
Every chapter is basically a story that the psychotherapist is telling to his patient Damien and every story has a hidden meaning. Jorge Bucay is an Argentinian gestalt psychotherapist, psychodramatist, and writer. Return to Book Page. Both the individual stories and the book as a whole are inspiring and full of wisdom and take home messages worth reflecting on. His books have sold more than 2 million copies around the world, and have been translated into more than seventeen languages.

Aug 30, Rosa rated it liked it. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Historias que a todos nos pueden servir para entendernos mejor a nosotros mismos, nuestras relaciones y nuestros miedos. Books like this make you feel like you were sleeping, and suddenly woke up to something you already knew but didn’t know how to approach.
This is a great book. Tales Along the Road to Happiness is by no means a self-help book. Books by Jorge Bucay. While he Demian’s story of personal development and self-discovery I almost felt as if Jorge deajme also my therapist.
Want to Read saving…. Sep 16, dVicko rated quf it was amazing. The book is about his sessions with his therapist Jorge who tells him little stories that are both inspirational and salutary.

Very simply written and very light. Very simply written and very light. Jan 26, Jc Melgar rated it it was amazing Shelves: To fly you have to begin taking risks.
There are no discussion topics on this book yet. It made me emotional quite a lot of times. I’d actually give it a 3,5 star rating, but since that’s not possible on here, it rounds up to 4.
Highly recommended, cuenge for the “restless”.
