Sister Jameson has down syndrome. Twenty-something, sweet, and spunky, she wanted to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. That's what brought her to be a volunteer service missionary in the employee cafeteria, giving me the pleasure of chatting with her each day.
We normally talk about upcoming fun events or our weekend plans, but today was different.
"This morning when I was in the bathroom I realized something" Sister Jameson responded thoughtfully to my question.
"What's that?" I asked as I placed a tong-ful of spinach from her carefully maintained salad bar onto my plate.
"I realized that I am a child of God." she responded earnestly. "And that means...I'm a princess. Because of that, I have something really important I need to do."
She paused, and I stepped out of the salad bar line to avoid blocking it as the two of us chatted.
"I looked at myself in the mirror", she continued, "and told myself 'YOU have an important work!'"
I felt my eyes becoming moist.
"I just don't know what my important work IS yet." she said reflectively.
"You might have several missions in life....things that only you can do, because of who you are." I suggested. "Maybe you'll find them over time--as you finish one mission, you'll discover your next important work."
That idea resonated with her. "I'll be right back" she said as she stepped away to serve chicken and cheesy potatoes to the next customer.
We chatted for a few minutes between customers, as she thoughtfully explored what her next important work might be.
And I wondered if part of her mission was to have that very conversation with me, to remind me of who it is I interact with each day.
I've thought about Sister Jameson all weekend, and was reminded of two of my favorite quotes about who we and others truly are.
The first comes from Hugh Hewitt's interview of my hero Neal Maxwell for the "Searching for God in America" PBS series. Elder Maxwell was asked how he deals with people who have "hardened hearts" and oppose him, and he responded:
I think it's a matter of loving and appreciating people whether they are doubters or agnostics. They are all the children of Heavenly Father. That's one of the great things that the plan of salvation tells us: who we and they are. They don't know who they are, but I do; and I must learn to love them, even if I disagree with them or they disagree with me. Even if they are critical of me, because they are my brothers and sisters. So I've got a transcendental relationship with them that goes beyond the tactical moments down here on earth as we may be colliding over some issue.
I love that.
The next is from C.S. Lewis' Weight of Glory:
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations--these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit--immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.
Thank you, Sister Jameson, for sharing your light with me. You can check "mission accomplished" on one more item on the long list of important work you will do in your life.

The grind of playing three games in three days didn’t stop Kickapoo and Republic from putting on a good show in Saturday’s Tournament of Champions opener.
Kickapoo led from start to finish in its 7th place victory over Republic, but the Tigers never let the Chiefs enjoy the comforts of a sure-fire victory.
Republic battled back from an 11-point deficit with three minutes remaining and nearly sent the game into overtime, as Treydon Rackley’s potential game-tying 3-pointer rolled in and out at the buzzer.
Kickapoo escaped with a 64-61 victory behind 18 points and nine rebounds from Xavier commit Jared Ridder.
“They’re just so fundamental and well-coached that even when you’re up 10, you never really feel safe,” Chiefs coach Dick Rippee said of Republic. “They execute so well and they’re so good defensively.”
Corey Dye’s jumper put the Chiefs in front 57-46 with 3:03 remaining. But Republic, aided by two Chiefs’ turnovers against a full-court press, responded with a quick 11-2 spurt over the next minute and a half.
Ty Stevens’ 3-pointer brought Republic within 59-57 and forced the Chiefs into pressure free throw situations down the stretch.
Kickapoo (No. 5 in Class 5 state coaches’ poll) went 4-for-6 at the free throw line in the game’s final 38 seconds. A missed Kickapoo free throw gave Republic a chance at the end.
Treydon Rackley grabbed the rebound, avoided a foul by Cam Davis, and quickly dribbled up court before taking an open 3-pointer from the top of the key as time expired.
Rippee said the Chiefs were trying to foul in order to prevent Republic from shooting a 3-pointer.
“Cam just got a little too tight on (Rackley) and (Rackley) made a move and got around him before he could foul, instead of getting back to half court,” Rippee said. “We dodged a bullet. Mitch (Closser) did a good job, head’s up, of at least trying to contest (Rackley’s) shot and not fouling.”
Kickapoo never trailed and led by as many as 15 late in the second quarter.
Republic (11-5 overall, No. 10 in Class 5 state coaches’ poll) suffered its third straight loss and fourth in its last five games. The Tigers had four players score in double figures, led by Rackley’s 17 points. Caleb Singley added 14 points and nine rebounds.
Republic coach Trevyor Fisher said, despite the three losses, his players gave a worthy effort all three nights in the tournament. The Tigers (11-5 overall) lost to Sierra Canyon (Calif.) 72-54 on Thursday and 43-39 to Madison Prep (La.) on Friday.
“I’m very pleased with our effort, our willingness to compete and the way we represented Republic in a first-class manner,” he said. “Couldn’t be more pleased with our kids’ effort, would’ve liked to get one or two more wins out of it. We gave ourselves a chance, just didn’t’ get over the hump.”
Kickapoo (11-4 overall) shot 24-for-16 from the field overall, helping it overcome a 4-for-15 effort on 3-point attempts.
The Chiefs got solid contributions from bench players Donyae McCaskill, Tanner Oetting and Mitch Closser.
For senior Isaac Blakeslee, the Tournament of Champions offers a lifetime of basketball memories against top talent.
“There are so many great players in this tournament,” Blakeslee said. “It’s a great opportunity to see who you’re up to par with. It’s some great competition.”
Kickapoo 17 18 14 15 — 64

Greenforest beats Madison Prep in 5th place game
Greenforest (Ga.) put the defensive clamps on Madison Prep (La.), limiting the Chargers to 29 percent shooting (14-for-47 overall), and used superb scoring balance to prevail in the Tournament of Champions 5th place game.
Ten players scored for Greenforest, although none of which reached double figures. Abayomi “Bebe” Lyiola had eight points and seven rebounds, while Justin Forrest added eight points for Greenforest.
Josh Anderson scored a game-high 17 for Madison Prep (16-2 overall). Greenforest (12-4 overall) won the rebounding battle 39-27, including a 15-10 edge in offensive rebounds.
Greenforest also benefited from a 22-2 advantage in bench points.
Greenforest’s Ikey Obiagu had two blocks, two points and seven rebounds in 20 minutes. He finished the tournament with 19 blocks, three shy of Damon Boneparte’s tournament record (22) set in 1993.
Greenforest 9 18 12 14 — 53

Mardi Gras is once again upon us. Folks are getting ready to whoop it up and let it all hang out down in New Orleans. The crews have built their floats, and there are millions of beads just waiting to be flung every which way up and down Bourbon Street. Mardi Gras in New Orleans is one of those Bucket List items that I have yet to cross off, but I can still celebrate here in Virginia as the cold arctic air brings temps down into the negative degrees and the snow flies.
I love New Orleans. I had the pleasure of visiting it way back in 2003. Four days in The Big Easy, walking the streets of The French Quarter and soaking in the thick air that permeates every pore of your body. You don’t just experience New Orleans, you feel it. Voodoo Priestesses, Jazz, the lazy roll of the Mississippi, and food so good you’ll think you died and went to heaven. So much amazing food! Po Boy’s, Muffelatta’s, Jambalaya, succulent seafood, and the official dish of Louisiana – Gumbo.
I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t have any gumbo when I visited New Orleans. In fact I’d never had it in my life until I made my first attempt at this iconic dish this weekend. And, good grief, how I’ve deprived myself years of sheer gastronomic joy! I’ve watched enough cooking shows to know that making gumbo is an art form, and an all day venture; two factors that have made me a little gun shy. But now I know that the time and effort is so totally worth it!
Before I began making it I did my research online, culling through recipes, going to food boards and seeing what folks did making their gumbo’s, and it started to get overwhelming. Like most stew dishes, every family seems to have their own way of making gumbo – no two are alike. There’s even debate over what items are truly essential for a good gumbo. The answer I came up with most often was roux. A dark, deep, rich roux, that gives gumbo it’s color, and a depth of flavor that simply can’t be created any other way.
Roux is basically equal parts fat and flour, cooked over high heat, while stirring constantly to ensure it doesn’t burn. The idea is to cook the flour to the point where it becomes either a deep dark caramel color, or a dark chocolate color. The fat can be oil, butter, or fat rendered from bacon or some other meat. Most common seems to be oil, so that’s the route I went down. It’s not for the faint of heart though. Oil on high heat, being stirred constantly can be dangerous. That’s why they call it Cajun Napalm! The trick is to just not get overzealous when you stir it, and be sure to use a long handled spoon or whisk.
Two other components that seem to be essential to a lot of gumbos are okra and filé powder (ground sassafras). They’re both thickeners. Personally okra freaks me out. I’ve heard way too many people talk about how slimy it is, so I’ve not yet plucked up the courage to try it. Plus, it’s not in season right now. As for the filé powder, I tried to find it, but it’s obviously not a item that’s commonly stocked in the supermarkets this far north. Roux was officially the key ingredient, and going to be my way to real gumbo.
There’s something magical about the smell of roux. As I said, I’ve never made it before, but I know I lived in New Orleans in a past life. The smell of it cooking on the stove was like home to me. Some part of my soul just knew that fragrance, and it brought such a feeling of comfort, and that deep sense of belonging somewhere long ago and far away that certain scents can have. There’s nothing like it!
One personal touch I added to this recipe was an addition that caught my eye on one of the food boards – Star Anise. I’m a big lover of pho, and when I saw this suggestion, I just knew it had to be part of my gumbo. Star Anise add such a wonderful subtle, singular, flavor that was truly a revelation in this dish. It’s not traditionally used, but I know I’ll never make it again without it.
Of course I decided at the last minute that I wanted something to accompany my gumbo, so I decided to give Hush Puppies a try, too. I know they’re usually served with seafood dishes, but since I don’t usually cook seafood (Roomie doesn’t eat it – full stop), I thought what the heck, it would be a nice addition. Didn’t hurt that I already had all the ingredients to make them in my pantry.
So I spent most of my Sunday in the kitchen, making a dish that I know (in spite of the aching back and sheer exhaustion after 5 hours of cooking) I’ll make again. It was a success that will be even better the next time I make it. I understand now why everyone says that gumbo is a dish made with love, because the work that goes into it is truly an expression of love. Isn’t that the key ingredient to all great cooking? Love.
I hope you give this dish a go and make it for someone you love. And if the opportunity ever presents itself, go to New Orleans and tell The Big Easy I say “Hi”. Laissez les bon temps rouler!
- 8 C. water
- 5 Tbs. vegetable oil, divided
- 1 whole chicken, cut up
- 1 lb. Andouille sausage, diced
- 5 bay leaves
- 5 parsley sprigs
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 3 ribs celery, diced
- 3 tbs. minced garlic
- 2 whole star anise pods
- 3/4 c. vegetable oil
- 3/4 C. flour
- 3 Tbs. salt
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 C. parsley, chopped
Hot cooked rice
- In a large pan cook the sausage over medium heat, stirring constantly, until browned. Remove the sausage from the pan to a bowl and set aside, covered with foil.
- Add 3 Tbs. vegetable oil to the pan you just removed the sausage from, and brown all the chicken. Cooking for approximately 5 minutes, just until you get color on all the chicken pieces.
- Place the browned chicken, bay leaves, parsley, star anise pods and garlic cloves in a large stock pot. Cover with 8 cups water. Bring the pot to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for 1 hour.
- After removing chicken from the pan, add remaining 2 Tbs. of vegetable oil. Cook the celery, green peppers, onion and garlic in the pan just until translucent. Set aside.
- After 1 hour, remove the chicken from the pot to a bowl and allow to cool completely.
- Pour broth through a wire-mesh strainer into a large bowl, discarding solids. Pour the strained broth back into the stock pot.
- Add the sausage, sauteed vegetable mixture, and star anise to the pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
- Heat the 3/4 vegetable oil in a large skillet or high sided heavy pot on medium to medium-high heat. Gradually add flour, whisking constantly. Continue whisking until the flour is a dark caramel color (this is a light roux). This will take anywhere from 10-20 minutes. Just keep whisking and pay close attention to the color for doneness. If you would like a darker gumbo, cook the flour until it’s the color of dark chocolate.
- Remove the star anise pods from the pot and discard.
- Now slowly add the roux to the stockpot, whisking it to fully incorporate. It will sizzle a bit as you pour it in, since you’re introducing oil to water. Just be careful when pouring. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
- Take your chicken and remove all the meat from the bones and chop or shred the meat into nice bite size pieces.
- Add the chicken, salt and pepper to the stockpot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes.
- Stir in the green onions and parsley, simmer for 10 minutes.
- Serve over hot rice.
- 1 C. yellow cornmeal
- 1/4 C. flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 3/4 C. milk
- 1/2 C. corn
- Vegetable oil
- In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and corn.
- Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients until just combined.
- In a deep-fat fryer, or high-sided heavy pot, add your vegetable oil. It should be approximately 2-3 inches deep. Heat oil to 365 degrees, you will likely need to turn your burner all the way up to high to achieve the right temperature.
- Drop the batter by the tablespoonful, in small batches of four or five, into the hot oil. Fry for 2-2 1/2 minutes, flipping over half way through, until golden brown.
- With a large metal slotted spoon, remove from oil to drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars for Nintendo DS will feature cel-shaded visuals, but it certainly won’t be family friendly. The latest info on the game has revealed the first GTA title for the DS will also feature a drug-dealing mini-game, according to Edge magazine.
GTA players always want more in-game cash and in Chinatown wars it will be possible to sell heroine, cocaine, weed, ecstasy, acid and downers to help pay the bills.
“We wanted to have a drug-dealing mini-game in lots of the GTA games,” Rockstar VP Dan Houser told Edge. “We played with it a little in Vice City Stories, because it worked really well juxtaposed with the main story.
“It works well with what GTA is, with driving around the map, and it gives you another thing to think about – another layer or piece of the puzzle to keep you motivated.”
It sounds like a great addition to us. Expect to hear more on Chinatown Wars over the coming months. The game’s scheduled for release this winter.

In-the-know podcaster @ExWHUemployee has provided an update on the contracts that West Ham United are currently weighing up renewing.
Currently, as many as six players in the Hammers’ first-team squad are on permanent contracts which are set to expire next summer (per Transfermarkt).
Those players are Lukasz Fabianski, David Martin, Fabian Balbuena, Mark Noble, Robert Snodgrass and Michail Antonio.
He said: “I’m being told new contracts are now being weighed up firstly for David Moyes but also for players that are out of contract in the summer. Like Antonio, Noble, Balbuena, Fabianski.
“David Martin and Robert Snodgrass are also out of contract but, at this point, I would say they are probably unlikely to get an extension. Certainly, it’s not decided.
“They’re weighing up the options of all of them and then, obviously, there’s a possibility of trying to offer Declan Rice a new deal as well to convince him to stay.”
TIF Thoughts on what @ExWHUemployee said about contract renewals…
As can be seen in what the West Ham insider said, he believes that the Hammers are “weighing up” contract renewals and a new contract for Moyes would seemingly be first on the agenda.
Of these four people, who's contract should West Ham be looking at renewing first?
Looking at the players’ average ratings in the Premier League from this season, Antonio should be the first player that the club looks at to extend his deal.
He has been the Irons’ second-best-performing player in the top flight with an impressive 7.12/10 average rating and Balbuena is not far behind with a 7.03/10 (per WhoScored).
So, perhaps it would be understandable if those three players were released by the Irons in the summer.

A South African designer has set out to provide poor citizens living in the Alexandra township of Johannesburg with a safe and affordable lighting alternative. Murray Sharp’s goal was to design an easily manufacturable solar-powered lamp that would be much safer than the current fire hazards of paraffin lamps and dangerous live wires widely used by poorer residents of Africa’s most populated city.
Sharp created the Hawk Light to be an extremely versatile source of both power and light. The design of the Hawk Light allows it to be positioned in a variety of ways, including upright on a tabletop, suspended from the ceiling on a cable, and even mounted on the wall. The lamp draws electricity from a separate panel that can be placed wherever it will find the best sunlight. Its lighting surface features three LED light strips at 60 degree intervals to provide the maximum range of light, which can be controlled by a dimmer switch on top of the lamp.
The solar lamp was designed with more than positioning versatility in mind. The Hawk Light functions as both a light and power source, featuring a USB port which can power cell phones and mp3 players. The solar panel plug-in can additionally be replaced with a direct wall plug, which can charge the lamp’s battery whenever electricity might be available.
Sharp wrote that the lamp’s title came from the name given to the dangerous live wires poor residents of Alexandra use to get illegal electricity. The live wires are referred to by residents as “nyoka,” an African word for snake. He gave the solar lamp the hawk title due to the predatory bird’s snake catching abilities.
The lamp was designed to be as easy to manufacture as possible, featuring a body that can be assembled using only three pieces. Aside from its original orange color, the lamp will come in olive drab, sky blue, deep yellow, and tropical red, but there’s no word yet if the designer has seen any solid funding for the project. To see more concept art and design information be sure to check out Sharp’s Behance page.

Moment Marketing Leader Hires Eyeview’s Risa Crandall to Lead First Industry-Focused Department
SAN FRANCISCO — Consumer Packaged Goods marketers have a powerful new advantage in moment marketing now that Aki Technologies, the company that helps brands personalize advertising through the power of mobile moments, has launched its first team dedicated solely to CPG.
Risa Crandall, former VP of Sales at Eyeview, will lead Aki’s newly-formed Consumer Packaged Goods division as its VP of Strategy and Sales. She will grow the new team, utilize moment marketing to activate impactful ads for CPG brands, and increase consumer engagement for these marketers.
Prior to joining Aki, Crandall was VP of Sales at Eyeview where she grew revenue 30% during her tenure and led the CPG team there. She also held leadership positions at Meredith Corporation and Quotient Technology. Because of her background, she uniquely understands CPG challenges, publisher needs, driving conversion, and using data to drive sales lift. She was one of the founding five members of Crisp Mobile where she built the business to more than $50 million in revenue and made it her hallmark to create true partnerships with clients. She brings to Aki her understanding of video, social, digital, and mobile as well as her extensive insights into CPG marketing.
Also joining this new team are Cristina Costa and Alexa Williams, both of whom were formerly with Eyeview and who will serve as Aki’s Sales Directors for CPG. Costa has more than 11 years of CPG experience on the agency side, as well as client direct and adtech sales; before Eyeview, she was on the Diageo eCommerce team. Before Eyeview, Williams worked at Inmar and Brandshare US. All three sales executives will be based in New York City. The new team will put a special emphasis on using moments to message consumers and working with brands to measure sales lift.
“CPG marketers have a lot to gain from the insights and personalization of moment marketing—we’ve seen the results firsthand in Aki-powered campaigns for brand and shopper marketers alike,” said Scott Swanson, Aki Technologies CEO and co-founder. “With the introduction of our new CPG (name), combined with the recent acquisition of Eyeview’s video personalization tech, we’re excited to deepen our commitment to our CPG customers.”
This announcement comes on the heels of Aki’s recent acquisition of intellectual property from Eyeview, which includes multiple patents for generating personalized, dynamic and broadcast quality video, into its moment-marketing solution to help brands meet the demand for more personalized, relevant advertising.
“Aki’s technology and focus on mobile solutions drives real actions for brands. And the people at Aki have both knowledge and heart for the work we do,” said Crandall. “I’m excited to leverage the most current moments technology with personalization and the opportunity to drive sales impact. I can’t wait to build partnerships with brands based on the insights we have on consumer behavior.”

Kamanie Kissoon recalls how the best Valentine’s gift of her life became her worst tragedy.
My story began on the 14 February 2016 at exactly 2am when I woke with a sharp, shocking pain in my lower back. I dragged myself to the bathroom as I needed to pee, when I realised that I had started to bleed. Oh! What I forgot to mention is that I was 25 weeks pregnant at the time. My husband rushed me to the nearest hospital and all I could do was hope and pray that my baby was alive.
On arrival at the hospital, I learned that I was fully dilated and in labour. Immediately the nurses checked for the baby’s heart beat and when I heard thump-thump thump I was relieved. My gynaecologist soon arrived, as calm and pleasant as always, to assess the situation, while all I could do was scream: “The baby is coming!” My gynaecologist made a good call of pushing the baby back in and called for an ultrasound to be done immediately.
After the scan I was presented with two choices: one, that I have natural birth but there was a zero percent chance of the baby surviving because the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. The other choice was to have a caesarean section, where the baby had a 40 percent chance of survival. Of course, I chose the emergency C-section and on Valentine’s day at 09:42am my heart was stolen by a tiny 780g baby girl.
Her little squeak of a cry was the greatest feeling of relief that my baby was alive, and so was I. After a few hours had passed, the nurses insisted that I try and get out of bed to see my baby girl, who was in the neonatal intensive care unit. The excitement of meeting my precious baby girl gave me the inner strength I needed to be wheeled off to see my baby.
When I first saw her tiny face, fingers and toes, my heart swelled with love for Isabella Valerie Kissoon. The following day I was given news that she had survived the 24-danger period, hence the rush for me to meet the angel of my life. All I needed at that moment was a miracle in the life of my baby. Baby Isabella spent 86 days in hospital on the ventilator because her lungs were underdeveloped. Each day that I spent with my baby girl I made a memorable one; I read her stories, sang to her and took loads of pictures.
However, one day after Mother’s Day we got the dreaded call that her breathing had worsened and on the evening of 9 May 2016, my husband and I spent the last few minutes of our baby’s life with her. I got to hold her for the very first time and when my husband held her, she gasped her last breath.
Right then my heart shattered into a million pieces. All we could do was give Isabella Valerie, who by then was almost three months and weighed two kilograms, a beautiful send-off to the kingdom of heaven. There you have it, my story, my reality and my tragedy. Many people have told me that time heals, that having another baby helps and that understanding the five stages of depression makes it easier.
This has not been my experience, however. When I’m asked how I’m doing, I say: “I have to wake up each day determined to live a new normal kind of life, with a bit of a limp. Each day has its own emotion; however, I have to keep telling myself that life has to go on.” You may think I did not receive my miracle, but I actually did. I got to spend 86 days with baby Isabella Valerie, who is now safe in the arms of Jesus, rather than none at all!

RICHLAND, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/14/13 -- IsoRay, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ISR), a medical technology company and innovator in seed brachytherapy and medical radioisotope applications for brain cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, prostate cancer and gynecologic ("gyn") cancer announced its financial results for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2012.
In the quarter and for the six month period ended December 31, 2012, IsoRay's prostate treatment revenues were in line with the continued national market weakness for all prostate treatment modalities. The overall prostate treatment market was significantly weakened by a report published by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommending against routine PSA screening, which has resulted in men avoiding the test or electing the option of "watchful waiting" if cancer is found. Both approaches leave men at risk of having more advanced disease at the time of diagnosis and perhaps not fully utilizing proven cost effective treatments such as brachytherapy utilizing Cesium-131, which has 98% effectiveness at the five year mark.
IsoRay remains poised to take advantage of its strategic focus on expanding the use of its unique isotope Cesium (Cs-131) to attack cancers in the prostate and other body sites, such as brain cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer and gyn cancers, while providing patients with a better quality of life than many competing treatments.
IsoRay is pleased to report that for the month of January, 2013, IsoRay's prostate business revenues increased by 26% over the prior 6 months' average prostate business revenues and its non prostate revenues increased 152% over the prior 6 months' average non prostate business revenues. In the next 2-3 months several multi-institutional studies are expected to be launched which if successful could help establish Cesium (Cs-131) as a standard of care for primary as well as recurrent cancers.
IsoRay Chairman and CEO Dwight Babcock commented, "Only now are the studies we initiated 2-3 years ago being published in abstract form and in journals showing the success of Cesium-131 in fighting deadly brain, head and neck, lung and gyn cancers. We are very optimistic about the growth in adoption of our growing array of new products and look to the international market to contribute in the coming quarter as some foreign institutions have now received their amended licenses. Physicians and institutions throughout the US are reporting outstanding results in the use of our Cesium (Cs-131) seeds for brain cancer, head and neck cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancers. Given this growing acceptance and interest, we remain committed to our strategic sales and market objectives, which we believe will contribute to long term growth."
The Company's continued investment in research and development focusing on Cesium (Cs-131) efficacy for various cancers located throughout the body is expected to have a direct impact on its overall revenue growth with an expanding array of non-prostate cancer treatments. The increase in the size, quality and reorganization of the sales organization has created the means to contact more facilities than ever before with the Company's new and novel treatment alternatives.

Lost Girl, p.9Chanda Hahn
“Well, then you should come with us.” He smiled.
The words shocked her, but the sight of another shadow moving over his shoulder made her desperately want to trust the boy in front of her.
“I don’t even know you,” she whispered. “You’re strangers. You saved me from that thing—and then you tried to kidnap me. I overheard what you were going to do. You were going to take me away.”
“Tried is the key word here,” Tink said. Peter shot her angry look, but she continued. “You’re right. He could be some kind of crazed psycho killer trying to lure you away to your untimely death,” Tink spat out. “But no, not Peter. Peter would never do that. Me, on the other hand…” she let the sentence drag. Tink fidgeted with her remote, and it continued to beep faster the closer the antenna came to Wendy’s body.
“Stop it!” Wendy commanded, shoving the antenna away from her.
Tink ignored her and nodded at Peter with a one-shouldered shrug.
“I hate to admit you’re right, but she shouldn’t be left alone.” She glanced around Wendy into the park and her face went white. Her voice dropped, and she mumbled something under her breath, but it was hidden by the sound of chiming bells.
A loud growl came from somewhere behind them in the darkness, and Wendy immediately imagined another monster coming out of the ground to get her.
Tink looked like she really wanted to leave, and she casually looked at her watch and noted the time. “Uh hey, yeah we need to run, if we want to make it in time.”
Wendy bit her lip and heard a loud branch snap in the distance. She gasped.
“Peter. My name’s Peter. Nice to meet you.” The boy rushed out, offering his hand to her. “And Wendy, you need to trust me. Come with us…now.”
She stared at that open palm and felt a moment of déjà vu. Somehow she knew she needed to grasp that hand or she’d regret it.
She thrust her palm into his hand and felt him grip it tightly as he pulled her off the bench, out of the protective beam of light, and into the night.
Tink clicked off her device and tucked it into her bag before following them. Peter and Wendy ran hand-in-hand through the park.
Once, Tink stopped. Wendy looked back and saw her pull out a silver ball that looked like a grenade. She pulled the pin and tossed it into the spot they’d just run from. A few seconds later, a flash of light illuminated the night. It flickered awhile, and they heard pained screaming.
When they neared the road, Peter let go of Wendy’s hand, jumped deftly over a park bench, then turned and slid across the hood of a car. She was in awe of his ability to practically fly over any obstacles in his way.
Instead of weaving around a fire hydrant like she did, he jumped up and over it.
His dare-devil antics continued and he ran in front of an oncoming city bus. Just as the bus slowed to a halt, he was at the door, tapping at it impatiently, before the driver got the doors opened.
The driver yelled at Peter to back off, then pulled the lever and opened the doors with a hissing sound.
Peter grabbed Wendy’s elbow and ushered her in before him. He swiped his bus pass for three fares just as Tink leapt onto the first step.
“Step on it, buster,” Tink barked. Grabbing the handle, she closed the bus doors behind her.
The driver shot her a disbelieving stare, but she shrugged it off and marched to the back, muttering under her breath. More loud bells rang.
Wendy sat at what she thought was a safe distance across from Peter and Tink and studied them both. They were an odd pair—one tall and dark, the other short and fair. One relaxed and mellow, the other uptight and cranky. Then you throw a young, tired and confused runaway into the mix. What a bunch of vagabonds.
“So Wen-ndy…” Peter drawled her name. His eyes seemed to twinkle, and her heart fluttered. Oh, this was so not good.
“Pe-e-ter…” She answered back in similar fashion and waited.
Tink, clearly a bit peeved, spoke up and drawled out her own name. “Ti-i-i-nk.”
Wendy started laughing. The girl was adorably rude. Wendy relaxed as they continued riding the bus toward the outskirts of town.
“So—” Peter continued. “You’re welcome.” He stretched his long legs out in front of him and crossed his arms behind his head. He grinned.
“For what?” Wendy asked, irritated at his attitude.
“For saving your life.”
“But you didn’t do anything.” She lowered her eyes, unable to bring up what she had seen before, from that other night—when his saving her life had been obvious. She wasn’t ready to tread there, to the monster she saw. What if her sanity came into question? She sat back in her seat and stared out the bus window, watching as the streets passed by in a whirlwind of lights.
“Doesn’t matter, just so long as you know.” He leaned back and watched her through lowered lids while Tink pulled another odd gadget out of her backpack and opened the back. She seemed to be making some adjustments. She stopped abruptly and pulled out a bag of Skittles.
“What’s that beeping box?” Wendy gestured to Tink.
Tink pulled out the green apple-flavored Skittles and handed them over to Peter, a few at a time. He gladly took the offending candy. “Oh that? That’s my psycho detector,” Tink said between mouthfuls. “And you totally made it go off the charts.” She twirled her finger around her temple and rolled her eyes. “Cuckoo.”
“Tink,” Peter said her name with more than a hint of warning.
“Excuse me?” Wendy’s temper went through the roof. “You’re the one dressed like a mechanical circus freak.”
Tink flashed a smile at Wendy, wiggling her eyebrows in response. “Why, thank you.”
“Girls,” Peter cried out in exasperation.
Wendy crossed her arms and glared at Tink. She didn’t know how she’d offended the blonde. She wasn’t sure she could convince the petite girl to like her—ever.
Wendy’s head started to throb, and she pulled her knees to her chest. She pressed, rubbed her temples with both hands. Please not now. Pain, accompanied by flashes of white, pulsed in her skull. The headaches had come back with a vendetta ever since—since the night of the shadow beasts at the football game.
Peter watched her carefully, his brows furrowing with worry. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’ve just got a headache.”
Peter shot Tink a look, and she shrugged her shoulders, crumpling up the red candy bag into her pocket. “Do you get those often?” he asked.
“Monthly, I bet.” Tink snickered before wilting under Peter’s ugly glare.
“A lot lately,” Wendy answered.
“Maybe it’s a tumor?” Tink popped up cheerily. When no one laughed, she sulked in her seat.
Deciding to ignore Tink, Wendy asked, “Where are we going?”
“We’re going to take you to a refuge for tonight. Then tomorrow, we’d like to talk to you about your living arrangements.”
Peter turned down a crowded backstreet, rank with the smell of garbage and urine. Wendy paused. She knew better than to follow handsome young men down dark alleys.
He pushed a large dumpster over to the side of a building, climbed on top, and gestured for her to watch. A fire escape ladder hung way above his head. Even on top of the dumpster there was no possible way for Peter to make that jump. Peter stood on the edge of the dumpster, ran toward the building, leapt into the air, and propelled himself off of the brick wall, turning midair to catch the bottom rung of the ladder. He grinned widely at her as the ladder slid down.
“My lady,” he called out to her. She found herself grinning and running toward him. He pulled her up onto the dumpster. When she reached for the ladder, her foot slipped. Peter caught her, his arm tight around her waist.
She blushed and apologized as she regained her footing.
Tink spoke, but angry bells covered her words.
“How did you do that?” She reached for the ladder again.
“Do what?” He shrugged.
“Well, practically fly to grab the fire escape, for one.”
Tink called up to them from the ground. “It’s parkour, you @%#.” The bell noise covered her expletive.
“What’s that noise whenever she talks?” Wendy asked Peter.
Tink speared Wendy with a glare from the ground and turned her back, mumbling under her breath, walking in circles. The tinkling bell noise continued, covering her words.
Peter laughed. “Oh, that’s her censor band. Her own invention. Tink is working on her temper. The band monitors her vitals and can tell whenever she’s about to lose it. Whenever she cusses, it matches her pitch with a bell tone in the same decibel.”
“Oh, that’s funny!” Wendy laughed at Tink, until loud chiming drowned it out. Then, she quickly changed her tune. “I mean that’s…um…horrible?” The bell chimes got even more aggressive. Wendy had to cover her mouth with her hand.
Peter grinned. “It’s okay. It is funny, but she’s determined to correct this bad habit and become a lady.” Peter pulled the ladder back up after him and followed her up the steps.
“Is she not coming up?” Wendy asked. Tink walked to the end of the alley, pulled out her remote box, and extended the antenna. Peter joined Wendy, pausing next to a window on the top floor. “No, Tink is terrified of heights. She’s actually terrified of a lot of things, but she tries to hide it behind her tough-girl attitude. Really though, deep down she’s a sweet girl. I think you’ll like her.”
Wendy doubted that. She listened to the way he spoke about his blonde companion and felt certain there was something more between them. He wasn’t going to elaborate on their relationship, and now wasn’t the time to press.
Besides, even if he felt safe and familiar to Wendy somehow, the truth was they were practically strangers.
He slid open a window, pushed the paisley curtain to the side and disappeared into the darkness. “But about the um…parkour, as Tink said. I can teach you if you want.”
“I think I’ll pass.” She stared into the window with trepidation. What was behind the curtain?
Peter leaned back out and grinned at her. “You coming? Or are you going to sleep on the fire escape?”
“Depends.” She sat back down on the step, keeping a safe distance from the window. “What’s in there?”
“Someplace safe.” A light clicked on, and he pulled the curtain open so she could see into a small attic.
A crash made her jump and peer below. A cat yowled and darted out of the alley. Wendy jumped through the window into the small room and closed it behind her, locking it for good measure.
The attic, with its slanted walls and rough wooden support columns, felt surprisingly cozy for its size. Outdated wallpaper, a tattered futon, and a mismatched table and chairs were the only décor. A couple of old trunks, which had seen better days, stood stacked in a corner. Wendy paused, taking it all in, while Peter immediately relaxed and pulled out a chair to sit in. Kicking both feet up on the table, he leaned back dangerously.
“Make yourself at home, Wendy.” Peter stretched his arms wide, before folding them behind his head and grinning.
She had a flash of déjà vu when he smiled at her, and her head pounded suddenly. Unsettled, she rubbed her arms and moved over to sit on the futon across the room. “Why?” She narrowed her eyes, studying him.
The front chair legs touched the floor as he leaned her direction. “Why what?” His voice was soft, gentle.
“Why did you bring me here?” He’d been kind tonight, but too recently, he and his friends had held her in the science lab. Trust wouldn’t come easy.
Peter folded his hands in his lap, looked down, and took a deep breath. “I don’t know. You just looked like you could use an act of kindness.”
That wasn’t the answer she expected, and it left her momentarily speechless. Her mind ran through possibilities that left a crater of doubt. “You were following me,” she accused.
His shoulders twitched, confirming her suspicions.
How dumb was she? She’d just locked herself in an attic with someone who had been stalking her, who’d charmed her into following him into a dark alley and would now keep her prisoner.
He looked up, his green eyes accusing her just as fiercely. “Why can you see the shadows?”
“I don’t. I can’t,” Wendy choked out. “I mean, everybody can see shadows. Don’t be stupid.”
He smiled wryly. “Not the shadows you and I see. You know what I mean. And you were terrified of them tonight—ready to faint. Until I showed up.
“Them?” She repeated.
“It. Well…” Peter stumbled over his words. “Well, the shadows to be exact.”
“Is that what I saw at the school?” she challenged.
“No, that thing was a morphling. Way more dangerous. They’re hunters. The smaller shadows—are the seekers. For some reason, you keep showing up right in the middle of where they appear. But I think you’ll be safe here for the night, and I know you need rest, so I’ll go. We can talk more later.” He stood.
“Go? Go where?” She panicked. Sure, she’d considered him her captor moments before, but that was when she thought he was going to imprison her. Now he was abandoning her, a lifeline quickly floating out of her reach.
Peter smiled reassuringly at her. “I’ll just be outside.” He popped his thumb out gesturing to the window. “Standing guard.” He grabbed his leather jacket off the chair and left.
She stifled a sigh of relief as she stood to follow him. She still had to be sure. “Standing guard,” Wendy spoke softly and leaned out the window after him, “or keeping me prisoner.”
Peter leaned in close, and she caught a pleasant whiff of his aftershave. A small dimple appeared in his cheek, and she swallowed nervously. “No, Wendy, you’ve got it backwards. You’ve already captured me.”
She knew he was teasing, trying to calm her fears, but the compliment warmed her cheeks. Who was he? Did she really care how he’d come to rescue her, when he was here now? She rubbed her temples.
He closed the window, ever so slowly, that pane of glass separating them with a soft thud. Peter tapped the glass and pointed to the latch. “Don’t forget to lock it.”
“What if you need to get in?” she asked much too loudly.
“Trust me. It’s better if I don’t.” He peered through the window, and—something about those eyes—was it longing? Danger? Something else? She didn’t know him well enough to read his expressions.
“Okay then.” Wendy locked the window, and he sat on the top step, giving her his back. She grabbed the wool blanket she’d seen on the trunks, but when she glanced at the window again—he was gone.
She pressed her face against the glass and looked down and up, but he wasn’t there. Strange. She had only looked away for a few seconds. There was no way he could have made it down the fire escape that quick. Besides, wouldn’t she have heard his steps on the rungs?
Wendy sat in the chair facing the fire escape with the blanket wrapped comfortingly around her shoulders. She sat and waited up for him for close to two hours, but he didn’t return. It bothered her that he’d lied—promised to stay and then left.
But finally, eyes heavy and body exhausted, head aching, Wendy moved over to the futon and fell into a deep and dreamless sleep.
“What do you think now?” Peter asked, his feet touching down on the pavement.
Tink jumped. “The shadow box is definitely reacting to her.” She kept her voice down, even though they were out of earshot of the window. “But how is that possible? I thought it only reacted to shadows. This is out of my wheelhouse, Peter.” Tink shook her head and rubbed the back of her neck. “Plus, she vanished after that night. Don’t tell me she’s been surviving on her own out here the last few days. I thought she had been taken.”
“But don’t you think it’s odd that she’s shown up where a morphling appeared—twice? That girl is seriously messed up.”
Peter tried to calm Tink by putting his hand on her head. “We’re all a little messed up, Tink. It’s why we do what we do.”
She looked down and kicked a piece of trash. “You were right to bring her to the safe house, but we should leave her here and be done with her. She’s not one of us, Peter. We can’t start taking home every stray kid we find. They wouldn’t understand our lifestyle.”
“So should we let her roam the streets until she gets picked off by the next morphling she attracts? We know there will be more of them. She’d be safest with us.”
“If she keeps attracting morphlings, I think we should dump her in the farthest regions of the state, but I doubt you’ll go for that.”
“No, I won’t.” Peter shook his head. “We’ve got to give her options, earn her trust.”
“How are we going to do that?”
“Give her what she wants most right now. She wants to feel safe and secure. So we’ll give her a job where we can keep an eye on her.”
A soft tapping woke her.
Wendy opened her eyes and saw Peter outside the window. Daylight streamed in around him, enveloping the attic with its warm morning glow.
Sometime during the night, Wendy had kicked off her boots, so she shuffled slowly to the window and gave Peter an accusing look. “Password.”
Peter smiled and held up a white paper bag with a familiar golden arch logo. “Breakfast.”
Wendy pursed her lips and raised an eyebrow at him, but then her mouth started to water at the promise of hot food. “Correct.”
She opened the latch and Peter crawled in through the window, placing two still hot breakfast sandwiches on the table. She pulled out her leftover hotdog and shyly put it on the table as well.

1MS student, Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch - 2Associate Professor, Imam Khomeini International University - 3Department of Sport physiology, Karaj Branch, Islamic Azad University, Karaj, Iran
Background: regular exercise and garlic complement can independently improve lipid profiles. However, combining these life- style modifications may be more effective than either intervention alone. Therefore, We examined the effects of 8 weeks High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with and without garlic supplement on some lipid profiles in obese inactive women.
Method: The study used a 3-experimental group, pretest and posttest design with 40 obese women of mean age 35.9±1.7 years (BMI, more than 30) whom were purposefully selected and randomly divided into three experimental groups and control group. The first experimental group followed a 8-week training program on 3 days/week; the second one underwent on the same training program with garlic supplement intake simultaneously; the third group has just garlic supplement and a control group with no training and sup- plement. before taking primary and final blood samples, the 24-hour diet recall questionnaire was used to control the subject’s diet the day before taking blood samples. Total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglycerides were assessed by the enzymatic colorimetric method on an Architect C8000 system using the respective reagent kits. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cho- lesterol was calculated using the Friedewald formula.
Results: Improved lipid profiles were detected in the HIIT exercise and garlic complement in obese inactive women (p≤0.05) . The results indicated that garlic supplementation and exercise training improved all lipid profiles including TG, HDL, LDL, Chol/HDL and VLDL, while the combination of HIIT and garlic supplement may have more significant effect on lipid profiles (p≤0.05).
Conclusion: HIIT exercise and garlic complement improves the lipid profiles such including LDL, HDL, Cholesterol and Triglyceride in obese inactive women. It appears that HIIT exercise and garlic supplement may represent an effective approach for improving lipid profiles in obese inactive women individuals

FCA Cooperates with the City of Turin on the Turin Geofencing Lab Project for Restricted Traffic Zone Access by Plug-In Hybrids
FiatPublished on 04 Jun 2020Last edited on 23 Jan 2021Written by Dr Jiulin Teng
On 3 June 2020, the City of Turin entered into an agreement with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to pilot the integration of electrified mobility with the restricted traffic zone (Zona a Traffico Limitato, ZTL) management infrastructure.
Turin Geofencing Lab Project
Known as the Turin Geofencing Lab, the project was created to integrate electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles into the transformation of cities into "smart" areas, notably "green" areas.
The FCA's e-Mobility team and the Centro Ricerche Fiat have developed a prototype system with fully-integrated on-board sensors able to preemptively recognize ZTLs. Upon entry into the ZTL, the vehicle automatically turns off the combustion engine and activate electric mode.
In the Geofencing Lab Project, this device will undergo a pilot scheme that looks into the implementation of geofencing and specifically the communication with the Municipality of Turin and the 5T platforms that manage the ZTL infrastructure. The goal is to integrate electric mobility with the management of the city's traffic, enabling plug-in hybrid vehicles to travel within the ZTL in electric mode.
How Does It Work?
When the on-board sensors detect that the vehicle is about to enter a ZTL, the infotainment system displays a message to alert the driver of the imminent entry. The system checks that "Electric Drive Mode" is ready and activates it automatically.
If the driver wishes to intervene inside the ZTL, for example to switch to "Hybrid" mode, the system triggers an alert and recommends changing back to electric mode. If ignored, the vehicle will travel through the ZTL in non-electric mode; however, the City of Turin's digital platform, managed by 5T, will be notified.
Upon leaving the ZTL, the vehicle will automatically switch back to the driving settings prior to the entry.
Communications with the Jeep Renegade 4xe and the Municipality traffic infrastructure ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) take place via the Geofencing system.
Once this type of technology has been proven reliable in plug-in hybrid vehicles, it will be possible to implement policies permitting these cars to enter the restricted traffic zones by giving them the same status as electric cars.

The I-5 Central Corridor HOV Project construction activities between SR-55 and SR-57 continue to include re-striping, drainage, sign panels, and/or concrete barrier work for the dates and times listed below. Most of these activities can only be done at night and require lane closures to include:
- Tuesday, July 28 2020, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- Northbound I-5: Right lanes between First/Fourth Streets and SR-22
- Northbound I-5 Connector to Westbound SR-22
- Tuesday, July 28 to Wednesday, July 29, 2020, from 8:30 p.m. to 5 a.m.
- Southbound SR-57 Carpool Connector to Southbound I-5
- Tuesday, July 28, 2020 and Friday, July 31, 2020, from 8:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- Southbound I-5 Carpool Connector to Southbound SR-55 Carpool Connector

- Friday, July 31, 2020, from 10 pm. To 6 a.m.
- Northbound I-5: Left lanes between First/fourth Streets and SR-22
During these times, drivers may avoid using the I-5 freeway in this area in both directions and utilize the SR-55 and SR-22, instead, through Central Orange County. Both carpool lanes on Southbound I-5 between SR-55 and SR-57 are expected to fully open to motorists this weekend. All carpool lanes on Northbound and Southbound I-5 are expected to open at the end of August.
Crews will continue to perform concrete construction work during the daytime behind protected median barriers which does not require traffic lane closures.
OCTA and Caltrans construction team has been expediting this work while traffic demand has been relatively lower due to COVID-19. Should you have any questions or issues with the construction please call (800) 724-0353 or e-mail email@example.com.
When fully completed, this project will add an additional carpool lane in each direction on I-5 between SR-55 and SR-57 to reduce traffic congestion, bottlenecks, encourage ride-sharing and improve traffic flow. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2021. To sign up for construction alerts or for more information, visit www.octa.net/i5Central.
Dates and times are subject to change if there is inclement weather or if there are unforeseen construction constraints.

“Can I lose weight using hypnotherapy?” is a question I get asked a lot. The quick answer is – yes, you certainly can.
If you feel you understand what sorts of foods and the quantities you should be eating, and the type and amount of exercise you should be doing – and you are still struggling to lose weight, there may be an unconscious block or barriers in your way.
In my experience, most people I come across know how they need to modify their eating habits and exercise regimes in order to lose weight, and yet they don’t do it. Often the desire is there, but the person is lacking in motivation. Or they are motivated but somehow they start the process only to sabotage themselves by making bad choices. In cases like these, the unconscious mind could be playing a role.
Ask yourself: what would I lose if I got what I wanted? Perhaps if you lost the weight you wanted to lose… there would be no more excuses. Or you would become more visible, or you would then have to tackle other issues you have been putting off. The list could include any of these or many other reasons.
I also find that for some people, holding on to extra weight on one’s body is a symptom of something else. In these cases, by working with me we can work on the ‘something else’ and then the weight comes off naturally. A client named S illustrated this point well. You can read about it here.
The client testimonial below show show a number of changes that came out of sessions my client had for weight loss. She sent me this testimonial one year after we finished working together, and it shows the generative effects of this work: the changes which took place unconsciously continued to help her create solutions and better outcomes for herself.
Working with Zeenat started me off on a path of finally finding what I was looking for career wise. I was a primary school teacher and I am now training to be a play therapist. This was a surprising outcome as I went for weight loss! Strangely enough I have lost 2 stone since finding this new career path. At 53 I had the idea that neither were achievable. I believe the talking sessions and the words in the download have guided me to make decision making easier and that the process continued in the months after I stopped seeing Zeenat. So it was not a quick fix but a long term process with lasting results. I have gained a tool box of strategies and will use all of them again and again over the years.
Get in touch with me in the usual ways to find out how we can work together and kick-start your weight loss journey.

The Healthy Beli’s organic juice bar, one of its biggest draws, transforms organic vegetables and fruits, such as carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers, into delicious and healthy blends for juices and smoothies. Juicers can churn out an iron-rich creation laced with kale, broccoli, beets, and apples, or customers can try the slightly tarter Apple Aide packed with apples, lemons, and lemon rinds. In addition to mastering the art of the juicer, The Healthy Beli's staffers are no slouches in the kitchen, either; each day, they whip up fresh cafe favorites ranging from salads and wraps to bison burgers and gluten-free pizzas. They also take show off their skills outside the confines of the restaurant, offering catering packages for events of all types.
Upon entering the doors of Simple Smoothie Cafe, visitors are greeted by the sounds of lively chatter and whirring blenders. Though they regularly play host to real fruits, fresh juices, and tart yogurts, these blenders never see artificial syrups or added sugars. Blueberry, pineapple, and banana smoothies pair nicely with paninis that burst with homemade chicken salad, smoked turkey, and mozzarella cheese. In addition to the regular menu, a selection of made-from-scratch soups rotates with the speed of a slow-motion roulette wheel to showcase a new special daily.
Happy Times Cafe, located at 535 Broad Hollow Road (631-270-4836), in Melville, New York, is a fabulous place for great food in a relaxed retro setting. Escape the work environment and step back into the 1950's for a unique and delicious dining experience. Or, stay in your home or office and have us deliver to you: free!
Peppercorn Cafe is nothing if not cozy. At a wrap-around bar made of unpolished granite and waxed cherry wood, bartenders pour draft beer or cocktails as guests converse and watch football. Just around the corner from the lounge, diners gather around tables draped in white linen that brightens under torrents of natural light by day and softens under the wall sconces by night.
The homey family restaurant is the joint venture of two Long Islanders, and the menu reflects it. Executive Chef Dave Moritz sticks to the founders' North Atlantic roots with a menu filled with unconventional takes on New York seafood favorites. Pot pies, for example, come stuffed with lobster, and the crab cakes are served on cranberry scallion couscous—a break from the traditional method of serving them inside a grizzled sea captain's pipe. Little Neck clams mingle with chorizo on the appetizer menu, creating a segue into the turf portion of the menu, which includes braised beef short ribs and New York strip steak with crumbled gorgonzola.
Peter Goldfarb sits watching his mother, who holds a textbook with one hand while churning cookie dough with the other. As she pulls double duty as a mom and graduate student, she unwittingly alters the course of her son's life. The young Peter will soon grow up, move to Los Angeles, and pursue a career in television production—but his friends won't care about his industry stories; they'll want to know where his shipments of ridiculously tasty cookies are coming from.
This true tale is what inspired Peter to eventually enroll in culinary school and coax his mom into cofounding Chip'n Dipped. Today, the duo and a crew of bakers make all-natural cookies, chocolates, and confections—including gluten- and dairy-free options—in full view of customers, as well as for impressed reporters from large publications such as the New York Times, Newsday, and the Candyland Gazette. Using kosher ingredients and minimally processed chocolates, the mom-and-son team creates treats loaded with bioflavonoids and free of hydrogenated oils and preservatives.
The masterminds behind Not Just Yoga aimed to create a calming, welcoming space that treats guests to the philosophy of yoga while offering a variety of services. Their yoga classes, led by expert instructors, flow through Vinyasa postures that focus on building strength and relaxing busy minds. In addition, the staff offers meditation, Pilates, and massage.

Eirik Bogsnes is a curious Norwegian that flies airplanes and speaks Russian. He has lived on three continents, likes adventure, and tries to stay out of trouble as much as he can.
He hates commercial airports, and even more the idiots who through their “security measures” have made air travel a hassle to be best avoided. But he loves seeing new places and meeting new people. He thinks Sheremetovo-1 (the domestic terminal in Moscow) is the worst airport on the face of Earth. And that Aldinga airport in South Australia is one of the nicest. He is convinced that terrorists will get around any sort of security measures, if they really set their mind to it. But hope they won’t.
He can’t understand why policy makers couldn’t make it just as an unpleasant of a process to visit a busy shopping mall as it is going to an airport. That way fewer people would shop, and the world would be a better place. The reasoning is impeccable: The consequences of a terrorist setting off a bomb at a mall, is likely much greater than that of Eirik carrying a bottle of water and a pair of scissors aboard a commercial airliner.
Eirik is contemplating incorporating the “Society against absurd and unnecessary airport security“. Possibly with the subgroup “People for equally absurd and unnecessary security measures around the workplaces, houses and shops where the idiots who voted for the security measures in the first place go”. Would anybody like to join? We could also call it the “Association for abolishment of airport aggravation”.
So far Eirik hasn’t even been to half of the countries in the world, but even the continuing and increasing annoyance of air travel doesn’t stop him from trying.
Hello! A kind of not existant airport security made our great flight over the mountains happen! But where can I see the pics of the girls?
That’s true. However, I would say that a lack of security does not help relieve the stress of flying in Tajikistan. I can’t remember the last time I was so angry and frustrated with complicated flying arrangements as our trip to the Pamirs. I am still waiting for teleportation technology to be fully developed. (the movement of objects or elementary particles from one place to another, more or less instantaneously, without traveling through space).
I don’t publish pictures of others without their explicit consent – but I read you in that direction that you don’t mind?
I just stumbled on your unforgettable name. Flying can be fun sometimes, but never for work and never with security. Cheers from Adelaide.
Good to hear from you! It’s been a long time since Adelaide I realize. I’m ashamed to say it’s been more than 10 years since I was on Australian soil. I really should get back. I miss it! Now my main Aussie exposure is only Bondi Rescue. But I do drink a nice Shiraz from Barossa once in a while. Hope the Scandinavians of South Australia are still going strong and that you maybe have more luck going over here, than I have had going down under.


text: The ability to recognize that there is a higher consciousness that guides our entire process of self development is central to the proper unfolding of our potential as human beings. One of the means through which our higher consciousness communicates is through dreams. Everybody dreams even if one does not grant them any importance and are unable to remember them. Dreams are messages about our life and the direction we are supposed to move in life. They function as a compass helping correct from day to day the way we perceive situations and make decisions. Being able to remember a dream is a sign of a degree of continuity of consciousness when we are unconscious asleep. The initial way to develop such continuity is through taking the dream communications as important to our self development and happiness. The ability to interpret accurately our dreams is one of the oldest practices of humanity. No manuals of dream symbols are needed as the dream language utilized by our inner guide is personal and based on the dictionary of people, places and experiences making up our circle of life. Everyone and everything experienced represents something to us beyond the social role they play. We experience the world symbolically in a personal way that is beyond any manual of dream interpretation. The interpretation of dreams helps us further the communication with our inner guide, and at the same time is an accurate reflection of the dimension in which we are operating on a daily basis. Through dream work we develop further the foundations for guiding the consciousness at the moment of death and transcendence.


While the summer cornucopia of fish continues to spill forth with an abundance found nowhere else on the coast, anglers have been heard to moan about how hard it’s been to find small porgies to use for bass bait. “They’re all the size of hubcaps,” one angler complained.
It’s true. Porgies, otherwise known as scup, seem to be getting larger and larger, as though their genetic material has been contaminated Godzilla-like by atomic radiation.
Tom Jordan at the Gone Fishing Marina was asked why the scup are so big. Simple, he said. “It’s a burgeoning population. They’ve been on the rebound for the past 10 years. More fish means more survive to grow bigger.” The old supply-and-demand downside for commercial porgy fishermen is, of course, the price. Fewer fish, higher price. More fish, lower price.
Depending on whom you talk to and when, fluke fishing is either great or slow, bass fishing is so-so or fantastic. Jordan echoed reports of big striped bass being caught in the rip currents around Montauk Point. Gone Fishing Marina weighed in one 50-pound bass during the week, one over 50, and a number of bass in the 40-pound range. The big bass are falling to live porgies and live eels.
As for fluke, Kathy Vegessi, the Lazy Bones party boat’s first shoreside mate, said on Monday that the struggle for our favorite flat fish last week turned into a Monday morning trip that landed 14 keepers over 19.5 inches long. Vegessi also reported “tons of sea bass.” Fifteen of the delicious eating fish (over 13 inches long) can be caught and kept each day.
This summer the Flying Point Surf School is offering the only fishing camp in the Hamptons. Shane Dyckman is the founder of the camp, which seeks to solve what’s been called the “nature deficit” suffered by growing numbers of kids by getting them off the sofa and onto a boat.
The camp offers instruction in basic spin-casting and fly-fishing equipment, fish ecology, and responsible, conservation-minded angling. More information can be obtained by going to flyingpointsurfschool.com, or by contacting D. Ava Locks at firstname.lastname@example.org.
The classes will probably not include a tutorial on chumming, but there will be plenty of that on Friday, Aug. 3, and Aug. 4 during the 20th annual mako/thresher shark tournament held from the Star Island Yacht Club. The captains meeting is scheduled for next Thursday night starting at 7:30. Boats can be entered up until the night of the captains meeting. The entry fee is $600 per boat.
On Friday, Capt. Paul Forsberg, owner of Montauk’s Viking Fleet of party boats, addressed the Congressional Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, Oceans, and Insular Affiairs in Washington, D.C.
Captain Forsberg asked Congress to amend the Atlantic Striped Bass Conservation Act to allow recreational fishing for striped bass in the area between Montauk and Block Island known as the Block Island Sound transit zone.
Charts showing the location of the zone are available at most Montauk marinas. Not everyone is in favor of opening the zone to bass fishing as only larger party boats have the size to hang out there, especially at night. Nor does the proposed amendment address whether market fishermen would get the right to fish in the zone. It is now off limits to both sport and commercial fishermen.

Harry Golden, through nearly 20 books, has rambled back and forth across his own history and times, an inexhaustible, shrewd, matzo ball philosopher, breezy, deeply unruffled and garrulous. He is also liberal, funny, concerned, indulgent and relaxed. Perhaps this other traveler through Jewish America supplied the considerable data, the organized history of Jewish communities, or maybe he just took care of hotel reservations and tickets he is somewhat buried under the ashes of Harry Golden's cigar. The book is filled with delicious anecdotes that belong with port and nuts, or bagels and coffee, and Harry Golden beaming through the smoke over goon gossip with friends.

Harry Lewis Golden (May 6, 1902 ndash;October 2, 1981) was an American Jewish writer and newspaper publisher. He was born Herschel Goldhirsch in the shtetl Mikulintsy, Ukraine, then part of Austria Hungary. Harry Lewis Golden (May 6, 1902–October 2, 1981) was an American Jewish writer and newspaper publisher. He was born Herschel Goldhirsch in the shtetl Mikulintsy, Ukraine, then part of Austria-Hungary. In 1904 his father, Leib Goldhirsch, emigrated to Winnipeg, Manitoba, only to move the family to New York City the next year. Harry became a stockbroker but lost his job in the 1929 crash.
Harry Golden was a Jewish-American humorist, writer and publisher of the Carolina Israelite. He was also the author of many popular books including Only in America. Upon completion of his sentence he worked at his brother's Hotel Markwell on Manhattan's west side. Throughout the 1930s, as the menace of Nazism grew in Germany, Golden took a new and deep interest in Jewish history and culture, immersing himself in the literature of these subjects. Then in 1941 he left New York, moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, and changed his name to Golden.
Golden is a great writer and back in the 60s did a great job of memorializing the Jewish ghetto experience. Harry Golden's insights about race, immigration and life in America are as good now as they were in the 50's when I first read the book. 6 people found this helpful. 4 people found this helpful.

After many negotiations and some doubts, an update to the official MotoGP 2020 calendar has finally been published. The road to the specialty crown, in a season marked by the coronavirus crisis, will consist of thirteen races in five countries.
Specifically, Spain, the Czech Republic, Austria, Italy and France will host the European tour, with seven rounds on the Iberian Peninsula, and five double dates, between July and November.
With no public in the stands, with great sanitary measures due to the threat of the pandemic and limited by a very small staff on the circuits, the championship will start with the Grand Prix of Spain and Andalusia, on July 19 and 26, respectively.
And it will conclude four months later with two events in the same country, two consecutive races in Aragon (October 18 and 25) and a last one in the Valencian Community (November 8 and 15).
On the other hand, the company promoting the event, DORNA, has set July 31 as the maximum date to communicate whether it will be possible to hold four other races in Asia and America (United States, Argentina, Thailand and Malaysia).
To date, the pandemic has forced the cancellation of the Qatar Grand Prix – the opening date of the event -, the Netherlands, Germany, Finland, Great Britain, Australia, Japan and Italy.

DOT Vehicle Update or Verification Information
The Village learned that the DOT is about 2 years out on developing software to properly register all of our personal vehicles to our GIS addresses. This is important because if you have a zip code that defaults to Green Bay, WI, you may end up paying the City of Green Bay wheel tax if implemented, even if you don’t live within the boundaries of the City of Green Bay. All vehicles registered to the City of Green Bay will be the wheel tax if the tax is implemented by the City.
You can check and update your address by going to:
Click on the Wisconsin License plate in the middle of the page that says “Start Now”
Enter the requested personal identification then click next. It will then state your address on file with the DOT. There is a box to check if you want to “set all vehicles to this location” with boxes that show the county and community. Below this is the current info on file.
For example, if you live in the Village and it says “Ashwaubenon (v)” then your info is correct. However, if you live in the Village (or some other community other than Green Bay) it may say current Vehicle Info box “Green Bay (c)”. If you don’t live in the City of Green Bay, this is not correct. You need to change it.


Nani is one person who is very hard to please. The way he selects his project shows his dedication towards the craft. Reports reveal that the young hero rejected more than ten aspiring film makers post Bhale Bhale Magadivoy and Krishna Gadi Veera Prema Gadha when they came up with their scripts.
Going into details, Nani was very sure that he should only do different films which are quite unique. As the young film makers were bringing forward some routine story lines, he turned them down politely.
Currently, he is filming for his latest film in the direction of Mohana Krishna Indrganti.

private health insurance companies have lost, according to a report in the “Saarbrücker Zeitung” in the past five years, the bottom line is that around 189,000 fully insured. Since 2012, alternated thus, consistently more privately Insured in the statutory Fund system than Vice versa, the newspaper writes, citing data of the Federal government, which had been requested by the Left party in the Bundestag.
Between 2012 and 2015, alternated thus, well-609.000 privately Insured in a statutory health insurance. The path from the statutory to the private System (PKV) went just under 520,000 in Insured. The bottom line is, around 90 000 people changed so more of the private into a public system than Vice versa.
“The private health insurance has exceeded their Zenith,” said the social expert of the Left, Sabine Zimmermann. The people had for years been told, that private is always better than public. The concrete experiences convinced but now, more and more insurance, to rely better on the statutory health insurance, stressed carpenter.
the speaker of The top Association of statutory health insurance funds, Florian Lanz, pointed out that private health insurance would often have fewer benefits than the statutory health insurance funds and pensioners under the high insurance premiums suffered. “The word has gotten around,” says Lanz.
In the past year were insured by the private funds of approximately 8.8 million people. In 2012, it was almost nine million. In the same period, the number of members is increased in the statutory funds of 52.4 to 54.2 million.
