Maryland SoccerPlex and
Holy Cross Germantown Hospital Renew Sponsorship
Boyds, Md. (April 25, 2016) – The Maryland SoccerPlex and Holy Cross Germantown Hospital have agreed to extend their partnership through 2016.
"When Holy Cross Germantown Hospital was opening we immediately thought a partnership would be beneficial for both of us, and more importantly to the community," said Maryland SoccerPlex Executive Director Trish Heffelfinger. "In 2015 we were able to create several educational events for the community and we expect to build off of those efforts over the next year. Holy Cross Germantown Hospital's commitment to improving health in the community through education, advocacy, innovation and resource commitment is truly admirable."
In 2015, Holy Cross Germantown Hospital and the Maryland SoccerPlex created a series of free health seminars that kicked off on June 2 with a Diabetes Prevention seminar at the Discovery Sports Center. The highlight of these activities was October 10 at the 1st Annual OktoberPlex when Holy Cross Germantown Hospital brought its breast cancer awareness program out to the event. A portion of the OktoberPlex revenue benefited the program. Already scheduled at the Discovery Sports Center in 2016 are a seminar on summer safety for the whole family on June 14, and the very popular Girl Talk seminar on August 6 for pre-teen girls and their mothers.
"Collaborating with a strong center of community like the Maryland SoccerPlex allows Holy Cross Germantown Hospital to further share our medical and surgical services with upper Montgomery County residents," said Doug Ryder, president, Holy Cross Germantown Hospital. "Connecting with community members in this way affords us the opportunity to further improve health and expand access to high-quality health care services."

The SoccerPlex has been home to the Soccer Association of Montgomery (SAM) since 2005 and has programs for players from age 2 -18.

On April 30 and May 1, I was a speaker at the Gather Global Conference in London at the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity founded by John Stott. My presentation was on the expansion of Christian city movements internationally. What interested me, however, was what I was hearing in the many presentations from gospel movement leaders involved with purposeful church unity movements in cities and communities throughout England.
The opening report came from Roger Sutton (in photo at the right), the leader of Gather UK, who hails from Manchester and works with the Evangelical Alliance. He told of the growth of Christian unity movements in England to the point where there are over 100 such movements today including over 20 in London.
There has been keen interest in these movements since the economic crash of 2008 and the British government's decision to institute austerity measures rather than expand their currency as we have done in the U.S. The austerity plan meant that the British welfare system would be cut back substantially. For instance, the city government of Manchester has announced a second straight year of £80 million cuts.
At the same time, local church leaders have boldly stepped forward after years of developing a sense of church unity in pastors' prayer groups to offer the volunteers of their church to serve their communities. Roger said that as they offered to serve the poor in cities, their focused collaboration was helped along by local governments that asked for one phone number to call when they have a need.
The church is inherently decentralized and, in many cases, this has made it hard for congregations to serve together. However, in England, once the government and pastors confronted the new reality, they recognized that decentralized missional congregations were a strength offering many points of service in neighborhoods throughout cities and communities.
Second, local governments have been transferring assets to community organizations at greatly reduced prices. The Localism Act of 2011 recognized that local "…councils are facing intense financial pressure, resulting in the need to maximise the use of publicly-owned land and buildings, or dispose of them and their associated costs, wherever possible." This has opened the door to community groups such as church coalitions being able to purchase or in some cases being given community centers, libraries, and other community assets provided that they will engage volunteers or staff to provide enhanced services to the community.
This combination of the willingness of missional churches to engage their members in service and the ownership of facilities to serve their communities more effectively is contributing to a revival of faith in churches across England. The stories are numerous and many can be accessed through articles and videos on the www.wegather.co.uk web site.
I was greatly encouraged by the stories I heard in London. In the next several blogs, I'll share more stories and videos from my trip to England. Also, some of you will be happy to know that we are working to bring some these leaders to our City Advance Meetings in New York City October 21-22 including Andy Flannagan to lead worship. I hope to see you there!

Kansas university fires mooning debate coach
by Roxana Hegeman
1010WINS
Wichita, Kan. (AP) — Fort Hays State University has fired its debate coach for losing his temper at a tournament, engaging in a videotaped shouting match that included pulling down his shorts to expose his underwear.
University President Edward H. Hammond also announced Friday that the school was immediately suspending its debate program until problems are addressed at the national level. He said it was important to take a stand against the declining standards of college debate.
The argument between Fort Hays State debate coach William Shanahan and another coach following a tournament match at Cross Examination Debate Association event at Wichita State University in March received nationwide attention after it was posted on YouTube on Aug. 2.
Shanahan told The Associated Press in a telephone interview on Friday that while his reasoning might seem convoluted, he argued with the other coach because he respected her and her opinions.
"Obviously it got out of control, but to be honest I thought I was in a safe house," Shanahan said. "I thought I was part of a community that handled its problems internally and that recognized the dangers of exposing ourselves – no pun intended – to the rest of the country."

UK: Royal Mail export services disrupted after 'cyber incident'
World Europe
Royal Mail said its import services remained operational, albeit with minor delays

London: Britain's Royal Mail said on Wednesday it was facing severe disruption to its international export services following what it described as "a cyber incident".
"We are temporarily unable to despatch items to overseas destinations," Royal Mail, one of the world's largest post and parcel firms, said in a service update on its website.
It advised customers to temporarily hold any export mail items while it works to resolve the issue. The company says thousands of businesses use it to export around the world.
Royal Mail, part of International Distributions Services Plc , said it was working with external experts to investigate the incident and had also reported it to regulators and security authorities.
Britain's data protection watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office, said Royal Mail had made it aware of the incident and it would be making enquiries.
The 507-year-old Royal Mail, which was privatised in 2013, had a rocky year last year, losing millions of pounds due to lower mail volumes and hit by a series of staff strikes in a long-running row over pay and conditions.
The Communication Workers Union (CWU), which represents more than 115,000 postal workers at Royal Mail, is planning further industrial action in the ongoing dispute, with a fresh ballot due to open later this month.
The "cyber incident" is the latest in a growing list of high-profile cybersecurity events in Britain.
The Twitter accounts of at least two senior government ministers appeared to have been hacked in recent weeks, while the Guardian newspaper said last month it had been hit by a "serious IT incident" believed to be a ransomware attack.
Royal Mail said its import services remained operational, albeit with minor delays.

There is something ironic, isn't there, about the fashion press raving about Faustine Steinmetz's wondrous denim creations? Denim isn't something unique to anyone in particular. "No matter the gender, age, or origin, piece of clothing that everybody has had in their wardrobe at some point in their life," as the show notes read as you entered the Tanks at the Tate Modern—the Topshop Show Space for London Fashion Week, in a adjacent alcove to the main catwalk space. There is a banality to denim, but nothing about Faustine is banal. Her success has been sculpted by her interest in subverting perceptions of denim, her insightful approach to craft and acute attention to detail. Stunningly, she manages to glorify and glamourise denim with couture-like methodology.
The idea of gender, age and origin were particularly important to Faustine this season. She hails from France and runs her business from Seven Sisters in North London; her production has recently moved to Burkina Faso where it provides employment for local communities. Gender, age, origin—to a fashion writer—may seem passé. Fashion's cannibalistic nature has already crucified the facets to each of those things in various ways, but there relevance has been reignited in the past year, in the current political climate. Fashion takes gender, age, and diversity and attempts to make it fashionable without any true meaning. But with the fallout post-Brexit, post-Trump—gender, age, origin have to be protected as never before. Denim is one of the last things that actually links people—how tragic yet interesting is that?
The familiarity of denim is partly where Faustine's charm lies in the current political climate. But the magic is to be found in the way she reconsiders the characteristics of denim and the fabric treatments and styling. One look featured acid-wash double-denim; another fused cotton yarn and handwoven denim, amounting to 300 hours of labour from one artisan to complete. The use of Swarovski crystals to enhance the indigo denim was fascinating. The individual pieces shimmered like the aftermath of a volcanic eruption.
Cotton yarn is the other area Faustine is beginning to explore, cultivating another area of her design language. A cocoon-like puffer jacket—playing into the theme of protection and shielding—was fashioned from the fabric and was decidedly fashion forward, an expected entryway for new customers. There was a sweater printed with 'Steinmetz' on the front; there was a similar top in black with silver plating; a dress with Swarovski studs.
Faustine gleefully ushered members of the press around her exhibition space, a gallery-esque layout with models encased in boxes, crafted by set designer Thomas Petherick. It was a pleasure, on the second day of London Fashion Week, the busiest day of the weekend, with copious shows and appointments, to lay witness to the development of a designer so singular, that she can intrigue using the most basic apparatus of all: denim and cotton yarn.

Samsung Galaxy S III explodes onto the scene, literally
posted by Alan F.
@wolfcallsputs
The phone melted right through the case
Its the kind of thing that could have happened to anyone. A guy is driving in a car with his brand new Samsung Galaxy S III safely snuggled into its car dock with the charger not plugged in. All of a sudden, he is startled by a flash of white smoke, sparks and a loud bang came from the device. Stopping the car to examine the phone, he found it had been burned at the bottom and had melted through the case. The guy brings the phone back to the Carphone Warehouse and was told that the phone would have to be sent in to Samsung. And that is how they left it, no replacement phone, no unit for this gentleman to use.
Samsung had apparently found out about the incident and issued a statement that said that the company is aware of the situation and is investigating. Meanwhile, the poor guy narrowly escapes serious damage to this face, his hands or his pocket and ends up with no phone for the moment while the investigation goes on. We knew that the Samsung Galaxy S III was hot, but hot enough to melt the phone?
"There have been recent online posts displaying pictures of a Samsung GALAXY SIII that appears to have heat-related damage at the bottom of the device. Samsung is aware of this issue and will begin investigating as soon as we receive the specific product in question.Once the investigation is complete, we will be able to provide further details on the situation. We are committed to providing our customers with the safest products possible and are looking at this seriously."-Samsung statement

UPDATED: Berlin rehab center withdrawn
A group led by Det. Patrice Hamilton-Ottey proposed turning a home on William Street in Berlin into a center offering rehabilitative services. The Berlin Board of Zoning Appeals was to consider the matter, but the application was withdrawn.
By Kara Hallissey, staff writer, and Josh Davis, associate editor
(March 23, 2018) A proposal for a rehabilitation center on William Street in Berlin was apparently withdrawn on Thursday by the applicant.
The home would have required approval by the Berlin Board of Zoning Appeals, but Berlin Planning Director Dave Engelhart said Patrice Hamilton-Ottey of Hope4Recovery, Inc. called his office to withdraw her appeal.
The Board of Zoning Appeals was scheduled to consider the matter on April 4.
Hamilton-Ottey, an Ocean Pines Police detective, founded the Douglas K. Hamilton House for Recovery in the Newton neighborhood of Salisbury last year. The success of that project, which helps addicts turn their lives around, led her to consider opening a similar facility in Berlin. However, meetings with the Berlin Town Council and school board this month met with some resistance.
The Worcester County School Board on Tuesday discussed but declined to endorse the proposed center. Discussion arose at the school board's session when Berlin resident Raymond Zalewski expressed concerns about the proposed home.
Zalewski, who said he lives near the proposed location on 602 William Street, objected to the facility because the property borders Berlin Intermediate School and a bus stop on William Street.
He said loitering, noise, traffic, littering, foul language and break-ins were major concerns and told the board that residents received no notice about the proposal.
School spokeswoman Carrie Sterrs said more discussion occurred after the open portion of the meeting concluded.
"The Worcester County Board of Education heard a presentation from Hope4Recovery during its closed session, as the issue was presented to the board as one of school safety," Sterrs said Wednesday. "The board of education expressed its support of the important work Hope4Recovery performs while also expressing the concerns they have heard from their constituents regarding the potential location. The board did not take any formal action on this matter, as any decision-making regarding this proposal lies with the government of the Town of Berlin."
Mayor Gee Williams, last Monday, said approval of the center would ultimately be up to the Berlin Board of Zoning Appeals. He encouraged the group to get a letter of support from the school board.
At the time, Hamilton-Ottey said she had not met with residents on William Street.
"That's clearly an unfortunate oversight," Williams said. "That's something I would encourage you to do.
"Being fairly familiar with the Town of Berlin and our citizens, personal communication is precious here," he said. "I wouldn't leave the residents to be the last folks you interact with."

Maia Tamarin dreams of becoming the greatest tailor in the land, but as a girl, the best she can hope for is to marry well. When a royal messenger summons her ailing father, once a tailor of renown, to court, Maia poses as a boy and takes his place. She knows her life is forfeit if her secret is discovered, but she'll take that risk to achieve her dream and save her family from ruin. There's just one catch: Maia is one of twelve tailors vying for the job.
Backstabbing and lies run rampant as the tailors compete in challenges to prove their artistry and skill. Maia's task is further complicated when she draws the attention of the court magician, Edan, whose piercing eyes seem to see straight through her disguise.
And nothing could have prepared her for the final challenge: to sew three magic gowns for the emperor's reluctant bride-to-be, from the laughter of the sun, the tears of the moon, and the blood of stars. With this impossible task before her, she embarks on a journey to the far reaches of the kingdom, seeking the sun, the moon, and the stars, and finding more than she ever could have imagined.
Elizabeth Lim has created a fresh story that feels unlike anything else on my bookshelf. Billed as part Mulan part historical Project Runway however it is so much more, and this aspect is only about the first half of the book. Halfway through the story is thrown on its head and veers into quest territory. Backstabbing and lies run rampant throughout so there is no shortage of intrigue, drama or excitement. Lim is a strong storyteller which makes it easy to visualise everything especially with her descriptive imagery. Asian and Middle Eastern folklore is blended throughout with songs, poems and tales which created a vibrant and fully fleshed out setting. While there is magic is this tale Lim makes sure to depict both the benefits and the negative consequences of magic. You will find it hard to put this multifaceted quest fiction down as it is simply enchanting.
Into this lush magical world Lim has placed multidimensional and enjoyable characters. Maia is the main character in this tale and whose viewpoint we experience the novel in. She is ambitious and stubborn which is perhaps why she defies gender roles and refuses to give up on her dreams. However, she is also kind-hearted and selfless as she takes care of her ailing family. Lim uses Maia's masquerade to call out issues with gendered beauty standards and behavioural expectations for example she is teased for having freckles when dressed as a boy and when she is learning male behaviour she is told to make direct eye contact and to have out of the blue displays of anger and arrogance. One of my favourite characters was Edan, Maia's love interest. Edan is mysterious, playful and witty and the mystery around him just makes you want to dive deeper into his backstory. These main characters relationship develops slowly and realistically and their sacrifices for each other always seem justifies. This slow burning romance leaves you with wistful longing waiting to see how this romance will progress.
A fun and fast paced tale that will leave you begging for more

St. Thomas Pictures... Coming Soon!
A lot of you know, that back in January, me and Aaron took our trip that I won from Orbitz, to St.Thomas is the USVI.
It's been quite some time (and I am SO SORRY!) so I just wanted to let you all know that I did not forget. I started resizing some of my pictures a while ago (but there are so many to go though!) but never completely finished. So over the next day or 2, I am going to finish that up, so I can get all the pictures up, for everyone to enjoy.
Hopefully you'll all be able to relive our trip with us, through my pictures. It was lots of fun, and I can't wait for you all to see them!

In the ecommerce industry, site performance means a lot since it creates a different impact on the sales and support of an online store. Customers are increasingly impatient and will abandon the shopping cart within seconds if the store doesn't load up quickly.
Cloudways -- For a starting price of $7 a month!
With an army of open source innovators, the Magento keeps the merchants at the front when it comes to online shopping trends. By pairing Magento with a top-notch hosting plan, your store can burn rubber right off the starting line.
We've found that shared hosting is not much reliable especially when we talk about Magento stores. We prefer cloud hosting over shared hosting. Why? Because shared hosting provides you limited speed and poor software configurations in comparison to cloud hosting.
With cloud hosting, you receive all the power of a dedicated server with the ability to have your own set of services and manageable configurations. You can perform any action and can handle every single request with ease.
But even when choosing a cloud hosting server for a Magento store, we have another problem here. You still depend on your System Administrator because a low-tech person can't handle the server configurations and services on their own.
Recently, we came across Cloudways, a managed Magento hosting platform for Magento stores. They were offering a free trial of 14-days. We decided to try it out. After using Cloudways, we realized that with the help of a managed Magento hosting solution, you don't have to worry about server related issues and configurations. Even a non-technical person can deploy and run a Magento store with ease.
As already mentioned, Cloudways is a managed cloud hosting platform. With Cloudways, you can deploy applications on data centers like Amazon CE2, DigitalOcean, Google Compute Engine, Vultr, and Kyup Containers. The platform takes care of all the optimization, server setup, and other software needs so you can focus on what really matters.
Prices start at $7/month, and you get the one-click installation of apps and servers. There are too many features to Cloudways, and giving that 14-days free trial a go may be the best thing you can do to try it all out.
When it says managed cloud hosting, they really mean it. Once you jump on the Cloudways bandwagon, you forget about the worries of managing your servers. Whether you are a blogger, a merchant, a startup company, or a traveler with a penchant for sharing your travelogs, Cloudways is the best place to host your website on.
With features like one-click installation of servers and easy deployment of apps, you need no experience or in-depth knowledge of hosting or managing servers to start your website.
The ThunderStack is what helps Cloudways platform stand apart in a sea of hosts. If you're wondering what ThunderStack is, it's one of the fastest hosting stack ever, and it's a unique Cloudways formula that makes the websites running on the platform blazing fast.
The stack consists of Linux, NGINX, Apache, PHP-FPM, MySQL/MariaDB with additional Varnish cache, Memcached, and Redis. The platform also supports PHP7 and other latest technologies.
The power of this stack creates an environment on Cloudways platform that guarantees that your website runs optimally.
Cloudways knows that security should be the top priority, and it takes it very seriously. In our usage, security was almost never a concern. They update their servers regularly, secure the OS layer and keep applying security patches on a frequent basis.
And these are just some of the features that the platform boasts of. For a starting price of $7 a month, Cloudways has genuinely been the best Magento Cloud Hosting we've tried yet.
Even their payment solutions are amazing. The best thing about the platform is that it employs the pay as you go, model, which means that you pay only for the time you have used the server. So if you start using a server on the 1st of any month and you decide you want to halt the service by 15th for some reason, you only have to pay for the 15 days of usage, and not the whole month.
This is perhaps a huge reason to give Cloudways a try because you only have to pay for the resources you use, and not extra.
Cloudways support is something we've heard both good and bad things about. However, in our experience, since everything had been going smooth, even the support went by without much hassle. Their support team is available 24×7 to solve your problems, and the way they do it simply deserves a tip of the hat. We didn't really have much of a problem, but we wanted to give it a test, and they cleared the test with flying colors.
Perhaps there might be a better alternative to Cloudways out there, but do we feel inclined to try anything else right now? Not at all. Cloudways has been the perfect blend of a host that not only provides an excellent service at an unbelievable price but manages to stay true to all its promises of features, security, and excellent support, etc.
We recommend all our readers to try Cloudways for free. And if you're willing, we've hooked you for a $15 worth of credit for your Magento hosting on Cloudways.
Use the coupon code HOSTMAGENTO to sign up and claim this amazing deal right now!
Yes. Cloudways is awesome. They use digital ocean droplets but the quality they provide is awesome. You can treat it as a managed hosting for any platform. Like wordpress joomla or magento. and the price is also cheap.
I have used cloudways and I must say they are awesome. Their support is awesome and I always interact with their team on Skype and they help me always.
yeapp.. I also used magento hosting and sometime i recommend others to use magento for long lasting faster server. Here is few example of magento hosting site: https://www.snkcreation.com/ , even i am going to start new blog that also based on magento hosting. Actually its fabulous!


Canadian native Cashius McNeilly struggled a bit against a very talented Brewster Academy team but made up for it in his second performance against Redemption Christian Academy. The Thornlea Secondary School (CAN) guard scored 17 points in the win over Redemption. McNeilly scored in multiple ways and left a good impression on those in attendance on day 2. He spoke to Prep Circuit following this performance.
With multiple NBA teams in attendance to watch him, Brewster Academy senior guard Jalen Lecque came to play. As expected, Lecque showed off his elite athleticism but also knocked down multiple jump shots from deep. He made some clutch plays down the stretch, which put Brewster in a good position to take home the victory against Thornlea Secondary School.
Texas commit Kai Jones has some of the best potential throughout the class of 2019. With his size, length and athleticism Jones makes a serious impact on both ends. He also shows great flashes with his skill set as he is starting to knock down mid-range shots a bit more consistently. Jones is a huge reason why Brewster Academy is one of the most talented teams throughout the nation.
NBA Academy -Latin America point guard Santiago Vescovi was one of the breakout prospects from the National Prep School Invitational. The class of 2020 guard from Uruguay showed great poise and a refined skill set. He has a consistent jumper he can turn to and has elite court vision as well. With his skill and basketball I.Q., high major schools need to keep track of Vescovi going forward.
Sunrise Christian Academy's Malik Hall got off to a slow start but got comfortable as the event went on. He may have been the toughest matchup out of anyone throughout the event. He stands 6'8", is a comfortable ball handler and a consistent shooter. With that combination, Hall is very hard to stop when he is on.
Kyree Walker, a class of 2020 guard from @Hillcrest_Hoops (AZ), just picked up offers from Kansas and Arkansas.
Ashton Miller, a class of 2019 guard from Seton Hall Prep (NJ), tells me he just committed to Duquesne.

How do I start a Jive trial that will allow me to integrate Dropbox?
I put in a request for a trial last week and haven't been contacted yet on next steps.
Re: How do I start a Jive trial that will allow me to integrate Dropbox?
Not that I don't appreciate decent automation , would just love to kick off that trial..
Carlos, you'll need to work with your account manager on this. The ability to create your own TryJive from the website no longer works.
Thanks Michelle. Do you have suggestions on How I can reach out to an account manager? I've requested contact through the website but nobody has contacted as of a week and a half ago.
hmmmm...I'll check internally and see what the best path is for someone to contact you and report back.
Michelle - You might want to flag this for your web team. I would be pretty annoyed as a perspective customer to see a CTA for a free trial but no follow-up. Even if you choose not to offer it, removing it from the website would improve the user experience vs silence.
Good point, Helen. I'll see what I can do.
Thanks Helen and team for the response!
Apologies for the challenges you've had reaching your account team at Jive.
My understanding (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is that you work for DropBox, and as such you're looking for a trial Jive license, to test the latest version of Dropbox against - is this correct?
The majority of our partners have a number of sandbox environments provided by Jive for this very purpose. Does Dropbox have these environments please?
Hi Mark, You are correct. We do not have sandbox environments. Would you be able to direct me on how to proceed with that?

Q: ftp_login expects parameter 1 to be a resource I'm trying to upload some files with FTP and I'm having the following error:

Warning: ftp_login() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/content/98/10339998/html/upload.php on line 65
  FTP connection has encountered an error!Attempted to connect to thelegendmaker.net....

caused by:
// set up a connection to ftp server
$conn_id = ftp_connect("thelegendmaker.net");

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

Does anyone know why this is happening? I've tried using no quotes, double quotes, and single quotes and none work.

A: ftp_connect will return false if it does not succeed. What this will cause is the error message you are experiencing instead of logging you in.
I would recommend using a condition to avoid trying to login when your connection fails.
A couple of options you have:
// set up a connection to ftp server
$conn_id = ftp_connect("thelegendmaker.net") or die("Unable to connect to server.");

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

or
// set up a connection to ftp server
$conn_id = ftp_connect("thelegendmaker.net");

// login with username and password
if($conn_id !== false) $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

Since I am getting a response from your server to a ping. My guess is that you haven't properly configured your FTP server.

A: According manual note;

Returns a FTP stream on success or FALSE on error.

So, you can apply a simple filter like that;
$conn_id = ftp_connect("thelegendmaker.net");
if (false === $conn_id) {
    throw new Exception("FTP connection error!");
}
...

A: The problem has it basis in the fact that, when ftp_connect() cannot connect to a FTP Server it returns FALSE instead of the resource link identifier it generally returns. Check whether your FTP server is alive using ping
you can do like
if($conn_id){
     // login with username and password
     $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
}

When you think of a party, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it a celebration or a cake? It's tough to decide because both of them are of equal importance in a birthday party.
You cannot have a celebration without a cake. Again whenever there is a birthday cake, there is the simplest celebration. Here are a few 10minuteideas of best cake décor for birthdays.
Flowers are the most beautiful thing in the world. There is nothing more special than to use them in cakes. There are certain edible flowers that you can have the best idea from the florist.
You can use it as the decorative border of your birthday cake. But keep one thing in mind that is they all carry harmful fertilizers.
So, before using them in the decoration, do wash them well and dry them. Petals from organic roses and calendula are of vibrant colors. Besides, there are carnations and violas as well for the topping of the cake.
Sprinklers are one of the best birthday cake decorations. They are easy to find, smooth to place. Last but not the least, they are equally tasty. For this kind of decoration, you don't need to have designer cakes.
All you need is a few scoops of your favorite flavors. It can be vanilla and chocolate- the best combination ever. If you are a fruitoholic, then fruit flavor scoops will rock.
Mold them into your favorite shape inside a bowl. Then the rest you leave on the sprinklers. The blast of colors will make it a grand celebration of your birthday.
Raspberry is the best thing to make your milkshake or cornflakes better. And trying this on your birthday cake can be a very unique idea. A simple vanilla cake will be perfect to use this flavor.
Put a thick layer of raspberry cream frosting. You can make the cream in your house with ingredients. Or you can get them in good online stores. After the frosting of raspberry cream, decorate the cake top with cut raspberries.
Cake and ice-cream are two completely different delicacies. But together they make a blockbuster combination. This is the easiest way to decorate your birthday cake. The best combinations are the contrasting one.
Like, if the cake is of strong flavor, keep the ice-cream of a light flavor. Never put both the ice-cream and the cake of the same flavor. This might ruin the cake and the celebration.
To make the flavor of your cake dry fruits, the best is to choose a big donut cake. A donut cake with chocolate sauce is a very unique flavor. The final touching will be with the piece of dry fruits.
These might include Walnuts and cashew. Almond and other nuts finish the complimentary topping in the most perfect tone. It is best to order a birthday cake like this online to get the best quality.
A drippy cake is a very uncommon décor for a birthday cake. They are very rare and also are not available everywhere. First, you need to make a base cake of any flavor but preferably chocolate.
Make a contrast color and flavor layer on the top. Then place the drippy scoop of decorated ice-cream upon it. To make it more special, put a wafer cone on it.
This can be the favorite flavor of the birthday kiddo who loves colors. First, make a solid base cake. Then layer it with your favorite frosting. In the end, highlight the border by sticking the lollipops inside the cakes.
Keep the bigger one for the center. When you cut the cake, make sure everyone get at least one of the lollipops. Thus, some might get their favorite flavors as well.
It sounds a little surprising. But they are certainly not the plastic balloons. Gelatin can only make the perfect edible balloons on your birthday cake. You choose a smaller cake as the base.
Then make as many colors and shapes of gelatin balloons to do the topping. You can get varieties of gelatin balloons from birthday balloon delivery sites.
A cake is the heart of the birthday celebrations. Above decorations of the birthday cakes will make you each birthday party outstanding.

Program Profile: Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton
Brian Jerzak April 11 @ 01:30 AM
Over the past four years, the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Rebels' football program has been one of the most successful programs in the state of Minnesota. They have been to the state semi-finals the last two years and are the four-time Section 8AAA champions. It is evident to anyone that the Rebels have one of the most successful programs in the state. All anyone has to do is use their eyes.
When Tony Soderberg took the program over the young coach gave the program stability and direction, but the program's improvement came from the kids. It wasn't hard for Soderberg to convince the kids to follow his direction. His first senior class bought into the program and individually improved. It wasn't hard for subsequent classes to buy what Soderberg was selling.
"The kids know their eyes," Soderberg said, "aren't lying to them."
Soderberg played high school football at Minot High School, but in college, his athletic career would take him in a different path.
"I went to Minnesota State University Moorhead on a wrestling scholarship," Soderberg said. "I had a couple of NAIA offers, but I went to Moorhead State for college."
Soderberg knew he wanted to be a teacher since high school.
"I spent a lot of time coaching younger kids in wrestling and enjoyed it," Soderberg said, "so I thought it was a natural fit to be a teacher and a coach."
The young teacher and coach was hired at DGF right out of college and moved up the Rebels' coaching ladder quickly.
"I got to coach the ninth graders," Soderberg said about his first year. "The new head coach we got had to leave after one year because he was on a long-term substitute contract and that person came back so he left and we got another head coach. I moved up to the varsity defensive coordinator position for that season. The problem was that coach was also on a long-term sub position, and that (position and coach) went away."
That off-season Soderberg walked into his athletic director's office and threw his hat in the ring.
"I said 'I might not have all the experience in the world, but I will be around here for a while. I would like to give the kids some consistency.' I got the job at the age of twenty-five years old with no experience whatsoever."
The program wasn't in dire straits, but Soderberg felt the previous few seasons could have been better. He felt it was because the program had three coaches in three years and not because the athletic cupboard was bare.
"They played good football. They played physical football – that wasn't the problem. They had to go from one system to the next, and the kids didn't have any kind of consistency."
To give the kids some consistency and to deal with his own inexperience as a head coach, Soderberg kept the basic offense and defense in place from the previous year. Keeping things the same and only making slight changes paid off.
"They were 6-4 the year before I took over. We were 6-4 my first year, and then we went 9-2. We had a nice build, but we had some really good athletes. I think they could have just shown up and gone 5-5 coaching themselves."
The first few years the Rebels were a smash mouth offense.
"We would line up in the Maryland I – three guys lined up in a straight line in the backfield – and we just ran the ball at you."
The offense has evolved based on their personnel. After a few years, kids with different skill sets came into the program. Soderberg and his staff had to adjust.
"Either you are going to mow people over, or you are going to get stuffed," Soderberg admitted. "As soon as you get stuffed you have to have something else to go to. (A few years in) we didn't have that at that point. That is directly the result of me not having much experience so we have tried to adapt and change and put the kids in a position where they can be successful."
"We transitioned to a double tight, double wing," Soderberg continued. "We put people in motion and hide the ball; we go left and counter right and try to put us in a situation where we don't have to blow everybody off the ball every time."
Like most coaches, the staff is continually adding things they think will work and getting rid of things that are not.
"We see what other teams do and pick and chose," the ninth-year head coach said. "We steal what we like from other teams, go to clinics, buy DVDs and watch what other teams do. We find what fits to give the kids a good chance to be successful."
On defense, the previous head coach ran a 4-3 base defense, so the Rebels stayed with that for three or four years until Soderberg and defensive coordinator Jesse Barnacle attended a North Dakota State football clinic.
"We listened to a Wisconsin coach talk about his defense and a lot of what he said rang true and made sense for us. We switched to a 4-2-5," recalled Soderberg. "Now we are all about alignment, having the kids knowing exactly what their assignment is and what they are reading on every play – we go and play football. We don't do a lot of fancy stuff. We have one base defense. We want our kids to read their keys, react and tackle well."
Like his defense, Soderberg – who calls the offense and works mainly with the offensive line – is candid with the kids.
"I am pretty straight forward, and I am pretty honest and hard working. That is who I am, and that is what you are going to get. I just want the kids to know that I have their best interests at heart; that I am fair and I have expectations for them, and if those expectations aren't met they will be notified right away about it. Other than that – have fun. Playing football and coaching football are some of the most fun things I think you can do. When it is time to be serious it is time to be serious, but when it is time to joke around it is time to joke around – that is the kind of guy I am. I am having fun with it. I think the kids respond well to it."

It didn't take long for the kids to buy into his message.
"My first year I told the kids to lift; I told them to do this and told them to do that," Soderberg said. "They did it, and the younger class saw the success from it. They saw the kid that going into the summer was benching 170 pounds to after summer 230 pounds. They saw what it did for him to play football. They saw the benefits of it. After establishing some years and some success, it has gotten to the point where the kids see what the other kids in the classes ahead of them are doing, and they follow along. They want that success. If they don't do it, they are going to figure it out quick that if the guy next to him lifted all summer and they didn't, they are going to get passed up. The kids know their eyes aren't lying to them."
"We've got great kids," Soderberg continued. "We've got kids that if they are not in a sport, they are lifting. They have taken it upon themselves – I don't even go into the weight room in the summer. It has just become an expectation. "
As the kids continued to improve; the coaching staff stayed intact and improved too.
"Our coaching staff gained experience. Except for one coach we added two years ago, I have had the same coaching staff with me for the last nine years. We've taken our lumps, and we've learned from our lumps."
That coaching staff includes Barnacle who was an assistant with Soderberg under the previous head coaches.
"I would consider him a co-head coach," Soderberg said. "He handles the entire defense to point where I don't worry about it anymore, which allows me more time to focus on the offense. I can bounce questions off him, but at the same time, he is having fun too. He is great with the kids and is a big reason for our success. Two years ago we hired Tony Reno – he used to be the coach here and coached the defensive line at Concordia (Moorhead) for ten years. Jason Sunde has been with me the whole time and coaches the ninth grade along with Todd Bergeson. They do a great job keeping it fun for the kids. Bryant Bergeson runs the special teams with Reno. "Reno and Bryant do a phenomenal job on special teams and like coach Barnacle and the defense, they allow me to focus on offense and managing the game." They are a great staff and are all teachers in the district which is huge. Most important is they keep football fun for the kids and have they also have fun" We are just a bunch of big kids out here."
The coaching staff likes to have fun on the practice field, but it is not all fun and games.
"We stress family. We have to play for each other and trust each other," Soderberg explained. "You have to hold yourself accountable whether it is in season or the off-season. We have our expectations to go out and get better each day. They need to give great effort – that is the one thing the kids can control – how much effort they give. We put the responsibility on them to give their best effort every day. Once they get the fact that they are responsible for people and people care about them, and we are a family as a team, you see those kids start holding themselves accountable."
DGF hasn't had to put in much effort into getting kids to play football. While part of that is because of the success they have had on game day, it is also because the coaching staff knows football is a game and is something to be enjoyed.
"Football is a fun sport. For us, instead of having (the kids) line up on a line and sprint back and forth, we'll play football instead," said Coach Soderberg. "We don't condition the kids extremely hard. That comes along with the expectations. The kids know they are responsible for coming into the season in shape. They are responsible – if they are not in shape – to run on their own afterward."
Like conditioning, Soderberg leaves the responsibility up to his players to get all the good athletes in the school who are not in a fall sport to play football.
"You have to have the kids go out and ask and ask to get those kids out. We have one kid who went out for baseball for the first time just so this other kid who plays baseball will come out for football."
On the field, the ultimate goal is to win a state championship. DGF – who northstarfootballnews.com recently picked as one of the teams to beat next season in AAA – has been close for the last half dozen years, but so far has not been able to get over the final hump. While Soderberg doesn't like the fact that they have gotten close, but have not walked away with the ultimate prize, he also knows they as a coaching staff and a program are getting closer.
"I handle (losing in the playoffs) poorly for about two weeks after we don't get there. I don't sleep much, but the thing is building," the former Dragons' wrestler said. "We are not seeing a decline. It all comes down to experience. Even this year, we played Rochester Lourdes, and as a coach, we have to learn how to handle the option a lot better than we did otherwise we won't deserve to win. That 9-2 team my second year had a lot of great athletes, but I wasn't, and the other coaches weren't experienced enough to get them where they needed to be. With each step we take, we are picking up little things and are getting better at our craft."
To get better at their craft, each off-season the coaching staff likes to focus on two or three things in the program they think they need to improve.
"We want to hammer those points home," Soderberg said. "You have to get better each year, so we want to make those things that much better. You just want to learn from your mistakes from the previous year – get rid of the stuff that didn't work and focus on the things that did work, and hopefully, you produce a better football team."
To be a better team next year, Soderberg has over thirty seniors returning. Among those seniors, the Rebels will have all five of their offensive linemen back.
"Hunter Macziewski, Johnathan Heiberg, Anthony Savageau, Jacob Arends, Andy Oberg and we are always in double tights, so we've got a tight end back – (NFN's Class of 2019 Watch List member) Bryce Anderson. That will be the nucleus," Soderberg told northstarfootballnews.com. "They have been through a whole season together. That is going to be a huge thing for us. We are going to rely on those big guys up front."
The 2017 version of the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton football team will rely on the veteran guys in the trenches, just like previous DGF teams have relied on the veterans before them. They relied on what their eyes were telling them and with that came success.
"I think we have been successful because we have been able to teach the kids what good football is and they have listened and responded – not only on the field but off the field," Soderberg concluded. "That comes down to good decisions, and the kids are reaping the benefits of that. I just enjoy working with the kids here because of their attitude and what they do."


Is the king in trouble? Apparently the Papaya King located on 14th Street is on the block. The Harlem location has already closed. The dogs represent the perfect union of a Greek man — Gus Poulo, who brought the tropical juices that make Papaya what it is to NYC — and a German woman — Gus's wife who taught him to love frankfurters. Gus opened his 86th Street storefront, which is not for sale yet, in 1932. The store was the first of its kind, but was followed closely by Gray's. The 14th Street location is up for sale, brokered by Branded Concept Development, and comes complete with kitchen and all, so pay $250 grand to Papaya King (which will get you a newly negotiated 10-year lease with the landlord), move in and start grilling.
And this sad news comes on the heels of the big downer that the inventor of red onion sauce recently died. Alan S. Geisler, who created the sauce for Gus Poulo, long ago relocated to Florida, where they probably don't know a damn thing about red onion sauce, and died there among the mosquitoes and swamp rats. Keep in mind Geisler wasn't any mere tinkerer messing around with an onion and som vinegar and a tomato. No, dude was a trained food technologist with a degree from MIT who set out to create the perfect condiment. He and Gus and likely both rolling in their red-onion-sauce slathered hot dog shaped coffins.


0F 53 /r RCPPS xmm1, xmm2/m128 A Valid Valid Computes the approximate reciprocals of the packed single-precision floating-point values in xmm2/m128 and stores the results in xmm1.
Performs a SIMD computation of the approximate reciprocals of the four packed single-precision floating-point values in the source operand (second operand) stores the packed single-precision floating-point results in the destination operand. The source operand can be an XMM register or a 128-bit memory location. The destination operand is an XMM register. See Figure 10-5 in the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual, Volume 1, for an illustration of a SIMD single-precision floating-point operation.
The RCPPS instruction is not affected by the rounding control bits in the MXCSR register. When a source value is a 0.0, an ∞ of the sign of the source value is returned. A denormal source value is treated as a 0.0 (of the same sign). Tiny results are always flushed to 0.0, with the sign of the operand. (Input values greater than or equal to |1.11111111110100000000000B*2125| are guaranteed to not produce tiny results; input values less than or equal to |1.00000000000110000000001B*2126| are guaranteed to produce tiny results, which are in turn flushed to 0.0; and input values in between this range may or may not produce tiny results, depending on the implementation.) When a source value is an SNaN or QNaN, the SNaN is converted to a QNaN or the source QNaN is returned.
#UD If CR0.EM[bit 2] = 1. If CR4.OSFXSR[bit 9] = 0. If CPUID.01H:EDX.SSE[bit 25] = 0. If the LOCK prefix is used.
#GP(0) If the memory address is in a non-canonical form. If memory operand is not aligned on a 16-byte boundary, regardless of segment.
#SS(0) If a memory address referencing the SS segment is in a non- canonical form.
#GP If a memory operand is not aligned on a 16-byte boundary, regardless of segment. If any part of the operand lies outside the effective address space from 0 to FFFFH.


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is to investigate and take necessary action against Mr Pinnick Amaju Melvin, Mallam Shehu Dikko and three other top board members of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.
Nneka Anibeze, Media Aide to Nigeria's Minister of Youth and Sports, disclosed this in a statement on Friday afternoon.
Mr Pinnick is the President of NFF while Mr Dikko is the 2nd Vice President who also presides over the money-spining Nigerian Elite League.
According to Anibeze, the probe follows a petition EFCC received from a former National team Coach, James Peters on May 4, 2018 with a heading 'MONUMENTAL STEALING AND FINANCIAL CRIMES IN THE NIGERIA FOOTBALL FEDERATION received by the Executive Chairman of EFCC on May 4, 2018.
