From beautiful coastlines, majestic architecture, and a fascinating variety of cultures and lifestyles – The USA has so much to offer. Here are the top 5 US cities to visit.
Marbled monuments, renowned museums, and interesting neighbourhoods, Washington, D.C. is most certainly one of our top 5 US cities to visit and offers visitors a range of trendy restaurants and cafes, clubs, and boutiques. Although this city has had a reputation for being too government concerned, the city has recently exploded with new energy and has transformed itself into an exciting and fast paced holiday destination.
The city is now thriving with tourists and has become a cultural hub – it’s certainly a lot more hip than it used to be. If you visit in late March or early April, you’ll be there just in time for the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
San Francisco Beautiful scenery and colourful neighbourhoods, San Francisco attracts those who have an eye for edgy art, a taste for adventure, and big foodies. From cozy cafes and booming nightlife venues, to iconic sight seeing destinations such as the Golden Gate Bridge. You’ll always find a way to keep yourself busy in this astonishingly lively city – take on the full San Franciscan experience and enjoy a ride on the cable cars, or take in the breathtaking views from Twin Peaks.
A must-see for anyone who finds themselves travelling the United States – The Big Apple. From the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Broadway and the Empire State Building, to the fabulously illuminated Times Square, it’s the city that never sleeps and it’s bursting with attractions, shopping, and constant excitement.
It’s an affordable city to take a break in with two-star hotels costing you around $100 a night. But if you’re looking to spend your nights in a four or five-star hotel you will be looking at considerably more. Saying that, the accommodation opportunities in New York are endless – you are guaranteed to find something affordable and to your taste.
Las Vegas Famously known as Sin City, and the Entertainment Capital of the World, Las Vegas is a Nevada hotspot where people from all over the world come to have a good time. Its brightly lit strips attract pleasuremongers to a night of booze, gambling, and fabulous entertainment making it a great contender for out top 5 US cities list. People have described it as more of a theme park than a city – with excitement sat on every corner, you’ll want to experience a little of “Viva Las Vegas”.
Don’t worry, not every trip to Las Vegas ends up as a reenactment of ‘The Hangover’ film, but you should definitely have your go at a blackjack table, visit the hotel spas, the gourmet restaurants, and treat yourself to some retail therapy at the high-end boutiques.
New Orleans From a Mississippi River Cruise, to the renowned Bourbon Street, there is plenty of excitement and fun to be had in the beautiful city of New Orleans. Famous for the music, you can be shopping during the day, and be dancing to some jazz at night in the French Quarter. All year round, New Orleans offers its visitors and residents fantastic nightlife and festivals. | 2019-04-19T18:31:13 | https://www.thetravelpocketguide.com/2017/06/places/top-5-us-cities/ |

As of May 2013, for any AMBC events, racers will no longer be required to change race plates to match the grade they are racing in. Instead, a colour code system (a strip of coloured tape across the bottom of the plate) indicates your category.
A new page on the website under ‘Event Info’ -> ‘New Race Plate System’ has been created as a handy reference.
Racers who currently have a race plate and transponder will not be required to change anything. When you sign-in on the day, simply double check that the race plate and transponder we have recorded match the ones you have on your bike and attach the appropriate colour tape to your race plate. There will be rolls of tape at the sign-on sheet available.
Racers who currently only have a transponder will purchase a race plate for $10. This will now be your number for the life of the plate. It will also link to your transponder. So if you happen to change transponder or race plate, make sure you inform the timing official(s).
Racers who currently only have a race plate will be required to return that race plate and receive their $10 deposit back. For future races they will hire a “race pack” for $10 that will contain a plate and transponder – just as you would’ve hired a transponder.
Note: You are not entitled to modify the race plate in any way (including sponsorship markings). For further information refer to the MTBA Rules and Regulations. If you break your plate, you will be required to buy a new one. | 2019-04-24T00:56:11 | http://ambc.asn.au/2013/05/new-race-plate-system/ |
3rd August 2010 – We went back to Antwerp to visit the spits barge a second time and to finish the deal. A new barge will find it’s way to become a houseboat in Bruges.
21st May 2010 – The Ontario is back next to me, alongside the Watergeus. For a day I had a view on the water. I’ll be glad when she is gone, not for the view but for my ropes and steel cables.
20th May 2010 – Some stuff has to be taken out tomorrow, so we moved the Ontario by hand to a mooring with land side a bit further on the canal. It was not a real mooring, but we had to improvise something.
7th April 2010 – I visited another barge with some potential for the future. It is more of wreck then a barge. At the other hand it is a historical vessel and certainly not in a better condition then the Watergeus once was.
There are not many free moorings available at this time.
Therefore I’m still doubting whether I will take such a project or not. Buying the barge may be cheap, converting it will cost me a fortune.
In the afternoon, the owner of the art ship was giving a midwinter party!
16th-17th-18th – 19th December 2009 – I had my annual holiday in England and the Netherlands visiting friends and barges!
19th October 2009 – Friends asked me to visit a ship wit them and give my opinion. It is always hard to give an opinion so I try to do this as minimum as possible.
The positive side on this is that I meet new people and visit new ships. On this ship I found an East German or Russian engine. It was very similar to an American GM, but I had never seen it before.
1st June 2009 – I quickly went to Oostende voor Anker. Since I wasn’t feeling to well I only stayed for a hour. For pictures, have a look at the Gallery.
3th February 2009 – The Julie was dry-docked today. Good luck to the new owners and my respect for taking on this job. | 2019-04-24T18:11:51 | http://livingafloat.com/www/category/daily-life-around-the-water/page/12/ |

As the most energetic eruptions in the solar system, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can produce shock waves at both their front and flanks as they erupt from the Sun into the heliosphere. However, the amount of energy produced in these eruptions, and the proportion of their energy required to produce the waves, is not well characterised. Here we use observations of a solar eruption from 2014 February 25 to estimate the energy budget of an erupting CME and the globally-propagating "EIT wave" produced by the rapid expansion of the CME flanks in the low solar corona. The "EIT wave" is shown using a combination of radio spectra and extreme ultraviolet images to be a shock front with a Mach number greater than one. Its initial energy is then calculated using the Sedov-Taylor blast-wave approximation, which provides an approximation for a shock front propagating through a region of variable density. This approach provides an initial energy estimate of ≈2.8?10^31 ergs to produce the "EIT wave", which is approximately 10% the kinetic energy of the associated CME (shown to be ≈2.5?10^32 ergs). These results indicate that the energy of the "EIT wave" may be significant and must be considered when estimating the total energy budget of solar eruptions. | 2019-04-22T02:43:24 | http://solar.physics.montana.edu/cgi-bin/eprint/edit_entry.pl?entry=24956 |

I have made some corrections in the Dominican Rite Calendar for 2017 and this revised version is now available on the left sidebar at Dominican Liturgy. You can download it at the link called "Dominican Rite Calendar 2017." Or download it directly here. The major change is the addition of memory of the American blessed Francis Xavier Seelos on October 5. I have also added information to make it easier to find the ferials in the missal. | 2019-04-25T07:56:47 | http://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2016/11/2017-dominican-rite-calendar-corrected.html |
“Anyone who tries to make you believe that he knows all about wine is obviously a fake” wrote the American wine writer, Leon Adams. We can see his point, as there are many wines from many countries to taste.
However, here at Lincolns we can confidently make the claim that “we know all about the Wine Equalisation Tax (WET)”.
This is a claim very few accountants in WA can make.
WET is unique to the wine and cider industries and is a complex web of imposts and rebates, supposedly for the betterment of these industries. In reality WET has created a taxing mine field among the vines.
Wineries have other compliance edicts that we have command of, such as absorption costs measurement of stock on hand. This is a great tool for helping calculate the true cost of a bottle of wine. Along with this is the expertise we bring with regards to succession planning and advice on buying and selling businesses.
At Lincolns both Robert Prior and Phillip Mortimer have mastered the art of WET and all business matters wineries need to be aware of. This ensures they are not only compliant with the current WET regulations but that they maximise the rebates due to them and they are also prepared for the changes that are coming. Changes are frequent in this area, as are ATO Audits – which are on the increase. Our winery clients are the full bottle (pardon the pun) on what it costs to turn each vintage into cases of wine.
We have also within our bookkeeping ranks a former winery owner, Kylie Smith, who is well aware of the WET issues, having dealt with such personally for many years.
As a team Robert, Phillip and Kylie work together to assist our clients ensure that their systems are up to WET compliance, they are able to understand the many peculiarities and they know where they are headed.
For all the winemakers out there, so you can better enjoy a glass of your labours, come and see us at Lincolns to help relieve you of the red tape wrapped around your wine bottles.
And for those of you who don’t own a winery, as you enjoy a glass – please spare a thought for the winemakers who not only have to deal with growing their grapes and turning them into a lovely drop for your enjoyment - but they have to also contend with a myriad of regulations and tax complexities imposed on them. | 2019-04-23T11:55:18 | https://www.lincolns.com.au/wineries-and-vineyards.php |

Press Release (ePRNews.com) - CHENNAI, India - Mar 10, 2017 - Rituals and customary practices in the Hindu mythology have always had an insightful meaning for their existence. Every hymn that is pronounced and every practice that is carried out in a ritual have deeper purpose. However, of late, our generation has started questioning the authenticity of such practices, dismissing them as futile. Science has never managed to explain things that spirituality has. Yet, we tend to get more inclined towards believing science than spirituality. To help revive the potency and the lost splendor of rituals in Hinduism, here comes a book titled Vamsa. The book is penned by Kavitha Kalyan and is published by Notion Press. It is now available to readers all over the world.
One of the most fascinating aspects of this book is that the characters of Vamsa paint a picture of intrigue, set in modest background of humble living. Mystery, spiritual evolution, and the drama of human emotions take readers through a journey of awakening as they connect the dots, weaving their way through the various events that stitch this story together. The author has set the story of the book in a fictional village called Vamsa and revolves around the life of Ranga. Ranga sets out to visit his father’s old friend, Vittala, who had moved out from Vamsa and settled in a new village for a fresh start. With Ranga is a precious box that contains secret scrolls and manuscripts that retain information on some insightful rituals.
Ranga’s father asks Vittala to initiate Ranga into the cult of Vamsa and asks him to teach some of the most powerful rituals. In the course of his teaching, Ranga is asked to head to Vamsa to retrieve an old Shankha, which is very crucial for the fruition of the ritual. Besides, the Shankha is also key to revive faith for future generations and also for greater spiritual progress. The book is all about Ranga and his companions’ journey, as he understands the deep-rooted cult of his village. Beautifully incorporated in the book are instances of Baladeva, a threat to the village of Vamsa, and Urvashi, Ranga’s love interest. The ending of the book keeps you intrigued as you go along with Ranga, as he has to make a decision between the intoxication of spirituality and his lady love. What unfolds next? Vamsa – read to find out.
Kavitha Kalyan grew up in an orthodox family dominated by the men folk. She often questioned the rules governing tradition and its bias towards men, but scarcely received an answer that convinced her. With a deep sense of anguish to understand the true meaning of her faith, she took it upon herself to dwell into the depth of it. The concept of spiritualism started out as an element of curiosity but as she discovered the nature of her faith, she identified with Lord Shiva as being a part of her own nature; a stronger, deeper, powerful yet dormant aspect of her being. She is a blogger in this new age, a regular professional in the mundane world and a spiritual vagabond in a parallel universe. This work is her humble attempt to describe the nature of the spiritual universe with all its magic and trigger curiosity in your mind while you journey through it.
Notion Press has been the backbone of many authors’ growth by providing them with its unique Author Incubation Program, which provides the right platform to get published and sell a number of copies in the market. It has been acknowledged by many as a very helpful tool to showcase their talent in this very challenging field of books and publishing.

Accident Ends Ray Black Jr.'s Auto Club Speedway Debut Early - Ray Black Jr.
FONTANA, Calif. (March 20, 2016) – Ray Black Jr.’s first race at Auto Club Speedway was cut short on Saturday when the NASCAR XFINITY Series driver was involved in an accident on Lap 45, damaging his No. 07 ScubaLife.com Chevrolet and relegating him to 37th place finish.
Black, who was dealing with a loose-handling race car all weekend, was working his way up through the field from his 33rd place starting spot right before the accident occurred. He spent most of the first 40 laps of the race feeling out the different lines on the track and finding his rhythm in the lower grooves.
It was on Lap 45 that he was passing a fellow competitor when the car got too loose and spun out into the grass, destroying the front end of the car. The team was unable to repair the car and get back out on the track.
Black and the NASCAR XFINITY Series will return at Texas Motor Speedway in two weeks for the O’Reilly Auto Parts 300 on Friday, April 8. Black has four NASCAR starts at the 1.5-mile track, three of which resulted in Top-20 finishes. The track was also the site of Black’s debut race in the XFINITY Series last November.
Fans can keep up with all of Black’s on and off track adventures by following him and his sponsor, ScubaLife, on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram at @TeamScubaRacing and @RayBlackJr. | 2019-04-24T18:25:35 | http://rayblackjr.com/press-releases/2016/accident-ends-ray-black-jr-s-auto-club-speedway-debut-early/ |
Last of my haul posts today with a little lifestyle/healthy eating haul!
For the past 7 weeks now I have been on a serious health kick which I'm viewing as more of a lifestyle change. This is the first time I've really done this and purchased quite a few products to help me along the way, which I thought I'd share with you.
So far I've lost over a stone in weight which I'm really pleased with and hope to continue with my weight loss over the next few months. I may do a post in the near future on what changes I've made to my diet as I feel it's been fairly easily and enjoyable so far. I've been using the products below for a few weeks now so I can give them mini reviews as well!
Before purchasing this book my current diet book count was at zero. I've browsed through lots of diet books but they all seem repetitive or work on a diet plan instead of a standard balanced lifestyle. However when I came across the fairly new Body Book from Cameron Diaz I was refreshingly surprised to find an educational book on living a healthy lifestyle and fully understanding your body. This is far from a book about Cameron Diaz but one in which she shares her knowledge and with the help of nutritionists explains the key points to being healthy in great depth.
I have yet to fully read this book as I've been enjoying fiction books too much. But this 280 paged book is packed full of information and maybe only 3 images of Cameron herself. Once I give time to reading this I can really see myself learning a lot about nutrition and balance!
This is without a doubt my favourite buy of the haul, in fact I mentioned it in my non-beauty favourites here! The Blend Active Blender/Smoothie Maker by Breville is an ideal appliance for fast smoothie making for anyone of the go or just wanting to save time and washing up! Unlike normal blenders this is a much smaller appliance were the container actually double up as the drinks bottle! I find this incredibly clever and time saving. This has also helped me introduce a lot more fruit and greens into my diet and aided my weight loss in the process.
As you can see above I make up 'smoothie packs' in advance and freeze them. Each bag contains half a banana, spinach, mixed berries, grapes and kale, which I take out 30 minutes before making a smoothie (or when I wake up) to de-frost, then I simply empty the contents into the blender and add water and ice. This is a simple but delicious smoothie to make, though the blender does come with so many different recipes to create. You can even make milkshakes with this and healthy ice-cream!
A slightly optimistic purchase here as a non-tea drinker! Since I can remember I've disliked hot drinks, but in the past year or so I have come to enjoy Cappuccinos which I find quite filling and a substitute as a snack. However I'm aware coffee isn't the healthiest thing so was hoping flavoured Green Tea would be the way to go.
After spotting so many people online mentioning the new Twinings Green Tea range I decided to place an order especially as the website was offering 3 for 2 on the teas plus a free gift bag (not sure who would need a gift bag for tea) and free delivery. I will admit so far I haven't loved them and gave two of the boxes away... however I'm still trying to get use to the Caramelised Apple Green Tea. For anyone that enjoys normal tea I'm sure these would be great but I feel I may just have to admit I will never be a tea lover.
Coconut Oil is something I have been using for the past 6 months so this was a re-purchase. I first used Organic Coconut Oil as a cleanser and intensive body oil (which is so beneficial to the skin) but then discovered how it was a healthier oil to cook with. I use this in place of olive oil to cook stir-fries, healthy curries and anything that involves raw chicken pieces or vegetables that requires sauteing. As for the taste of coconut this really cannot be detected in the food. A super multi-purpose product that I couldn't be without now.
Not such an interesting item here but one I thought I'd include all the same. I came across this mini frying pan in Asda and decided to get it for making low-fat banana pancakes in. This is the ideal size for small pancakes especially if you are like me and can't cook them very well! You can find a super easy recipe for banana pancakes here which only requires 3 ingredients!
Another Asda purchase here with some handy measuring cups that are ideal for U.S measurements. I keep discovering so many low-fat recipes online that are in U.S cups but converting them into U.K metric measurements isn't as easy as I'd thought! Just super handy and fun looking with the different coloured cups.
Hope you have enjoyed this different kind of haul from me! | 2019-04-21T01:19:29 | https://www.makeupsavvy.co.uk/2014/04/oh-my-haul-healthy-kitchen-haul.html |

Cavalor Star Shine is a long-lasting hair conditioner with a unique and pleasant aroma, for use on the horse's coat, and mane and tail. It gives a brightening gleam to your horse's coat to make him appear a real 'star' on the show circuit. The horse's mane and tail can be expected to remain tangle-free for a week.
As detangler: Spray on the mane and tail of the horse. After a few minutes, the tail can be combed without any problem. The effect is reinforced when it is applied on the tail directly after washing.
To make your horse shine: Shake Cavalor Star Shine gently before use. Apply to the coat of the horse. After drying, rub with a cloth. | 2019-04-25T12:00:12 | https://www.equiport.co.uk/products/stable/grooming-cleaning-and-first-aid-products/star-shine-500ml-cav11/ |
The WMA has formally adopted the policy condemning bullying and harassment in the medical profession proposed by the NZMA at last year’s General Assembly.
“Bullying in the health workplace is entirely unprofessional and destructive, and should not be tolerated. It is time the profession took steps to prevent, confront, report and eliminate such behaviour at any level,” says WMA President, Dr Yoshitake Yokokura.
“This policy is based firmly on our 2010 position statement on this serious issue,” says NZMA Deputy Chair Prof Harvey White. “We believe it’s the responsibility of all in the profession to ensure that this destructive behaviour is not tolerated.
Delegates in Chicago agreed on a statement condemning bullying under any circumstances and encouraged all national medical association members, medical schools, employers and medical colleges to establish and implement anti-bullying and harassment policies. | 2019-04-26T03:52:49 | http://www.nzma.org.nz/news-and-events/media-releases/nzma-policy-on-bullying-adopted-by-world-medical-association |

The situation: We cannot wait until the 2018-midterm elections to take a stand against Donald Trump’s agenda of hate. We must do it now in a way that will personally affect him. We need to target the thing he loves most, his wallet.
What we want to do about it: The Boycotting Bigotry campaign aims to address Trump’s blatant conflicts of interest with a particular focus on the bigotry and racism that they are propping up in the White House. This bigot-in-chief is running the country, and profiting off of it at the same time. It’s time to do something about it. We’re using the tool we know best, comedy.
We're launching regionally targeted boycott measures in South Florida - where we'll target his lucrative golf courses and resorts; DC - where we'll target his Trump International Hotel; and New Jersey - where we'll focus on his frequently visited Bedminster property. We'll be putting up ads all over town and in local media that say things like "The Mar-a-lago because, why not golf with a racist?" or "The Trump International Hotel, why not stay in the lap of bigotry?" We want to shame individuals and organizations from using these properties for golf, lodging, leisure, dining, and entertainment. We'll be staging street actions and making videos of our efforts to raise awareness nationally.
If you saw our last film The Muslims Are Coming! or followed our last poster campaign in the New York City subway system (which resulted in a first amendment lawsuit, that we won!) then you'll have a sense of what we might do, the comedy that will ensue, and the change we hope to achieve. We hope you'll join us.
Please consider donating to make the campaign happen.

Job searching is one of the most stressful parts of life, especially when you’re not having any luck. Below are four key recommendations from The Career Foundation’s career counsellors on how you can take your unsuccessful job search by the horns and start making progress.
You need to be realistic about your skillset, as well as what your actual potential in the current job market is. According to our counsellors, one of the most common problems they encounter is tunnel vision. Job seekers struggling to find work might be picky and only apply to jobs in a specific field. It might be painful at first, but examining your own qualifications and the job market, itself, is vital to your success!
If you don’t have much experience in a given field, the chances of getting a job in said field are extremely slim at best. If you do have a lot of experience but most or all of it took place outside of the country where you’re applying, it’s unlikely that you’ll get the job you want off the bat. And even if you do have enough domestic experience, the number of available jobs in many specialized fields fluctuates.
It comes down to: if you really need a job, don’t set your sights on just one! Every opportunity should be treated as a positive opportunity. Your ambitions are important, and you’ll get there with time. Broaden your horizons and be open-minded.
It will almost always be necessary to adapt somehow to an employer’s needs. That isn’t to say that you need to overhaul your entire personality — if that’s the case, then the job isn’t right for you — but be willing to change your personal or work habits in order to better serve them. In job interviews, employers will be reassured knowing you’re not set in your ways. Emphasize that you’re always grateful for constructive criticism and always eager to improve.
It’s not enough to ‘talk the talk,’ either. Once you get a job, a huge part of being retained is taking constructive criticism well and making subsequent changes to yourself and your work. Don’t let criticism deter you or throw you off, and don’t take it personally. Accept that you’re not perfect and listen thoroughly to what employers say and suggest: they’ll appreciate knowing you’re someone who can maturely take and respond to criticism.
It seems obvious, but a job won’t just fall into your lap. Clicking ‘Apply’ on as many postings as you can and hoping for the best is not effective if you actually want results. Creating a persuasive, viable application takes both effort and time. The age-old tips for applying to jobs are true: research the company, read the job posting thoroughly, and tailor your résumé and cover letter with key words from the posting and experiences or skills that are specifically related to the job. It may seem like a labourious process when you’re applying to multiple jobs in a row, but employers will value your effort.
Counsellors also recommend branching out from broad, general job boards like Indeed. While they may be simpler to use and appear to have more postings, industry-specific jobs boards will have postings that are much more related to your search if you want a specialized job. Looking for work in a non-profit? Try Charity Village. Maybe media is more your thing? Try Mediabistro. You can keep looking on Indeed, but make sure you’re actively searching on industry-specific boards and company sites as well.
Counsellors often see job seekers who “shut down” as soon as anything negative happens during their search — it could be a bad interview, a typo in a cover letter, or anything in between. If someone has a bad experience interviewing for a finance position, they may lose confidence or become angry and not look as hard or even give up their search for finance jobs out of fear, frustration or even embarrassment. Don’t let that be you.
Failure is just par for the course during the job hunt. You may not want to fail; however, you should become more comfortable with the idea of failure. It might feel difficult, but all failures lead to learning experiences. Stay positive and keep motivated. The best is yet to come!

The first time I ate at Nando’s Peri-Peri, it was during my trip to The White House, in December 2013. It. Was. DELISH. However, there was one issue: apparently Nando’s was only in South Africa, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia at the time. Ugh. I hate when distance keeps me away from great food. But all of that changed as of last week, because Nando’s has officially opened in the West Loop area of Chicago!
The set up is super dope, full of texture, color, and art.
Never pass up a perfect photo opp. Never.
I give Nando’s a 10 out of 10. It was sooooooooooo good, and I was BEYOND stuffed. I ate chicken this time, but I’m back to my Pescetarian lifestyle. Nando’s is definitely going to be apart of my #SummerTimeChi festivities.
For more information about Nando’s, click here.
Nando’s was on my radar back when I was food writer intern but I haven’t tried it. Yet. | 2019-04-18T18:26:26 | http://nikkiandthecity.com/nandos-opens-in-chicago/ |

The Church is mentioned 115 times in the New Testament.
Of the 115 times the word church is mentioned in the New Testament, most of them come from the Greek word “Ecclesia” which means `called out ones’.
All of these things enter our thinking when we speak of `church’ however, the church is a BODY of related believers!
That makes us brothers and sister in Christ.
God is so passionate about building for Himself a family that He was willing to give His son, His only Son Jesus as a sacrifice for all of mankind. He planted His best seed in to the soil of the earth , and He is receiving a harvest of many sons and daughters.
The church is in a period of transition- How do we lead effectively in transition?
Israel struggled because they couldn't make the transition from slavery to a theocracy- They saw that other neighboring nations had a king, so they demanded a king… God gave them a king, but His plan was to be their king and rule through the prophets and priests.
Transitions in the scripture that were managed well- Moses to Joshua/Elijah to Elisha.
“…anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet.
It is in transition that gains are won or lost. Every relay runner will tell you that the race is won or lost in the changing of the baton.
In times of transition, people’s hearts are tender toward God…divorce, death in family, loss of job, financial reversal, etc.. These are great times to penetrate otherwise `hard hearts’ with the love of God and truth of the Gospel!
Lee Iaccoca took over Chrysler motors during the most difficult of transitions. They were facing bankruptcy, but because of his strong leadership, Chrysler became a world leader and still remains at the top of the automotive industry.
When He has told us to pray the Lord of the Harvest that He send forth laborers into the harvest field! He taught us when you give a feast, go into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in! “Go ye into all the world! Most Christians don’t understand the GO YE part!
Many times attending a church service seems like stepping into a `time warp ‘. Songs, customs, clothing, decorations, and media all are still behind the times, because someone refuses to change with the current culture. Don’t misunderstand me- The message must always remain the same, but the methods must be relevant to keep pace with the culture. In case you haven’t noticed, the culture is different than when we were children.
We must not put our `heads in the sand’ and hope things will go back to the way they were in the days of `Leave it to Beaver’. Today, there is no June Cleaver at home when many kids come home from school. Instead,, she is forced to work all day to make ends meet, because she is the sole bread winner in the family. 24.7 million children (36.3%) live absent their biological father. About 40% of children who live in fatherless households haven’t seen their fathers in at least a year.
MTV, Disney, and Nickelodeon are spending millions to preach their messages to our kids to influence the way they think, shop, dress and relate to the world. We must seize the moment- “Carpe Diem” and become a church that relates to today’s youth culture.
For a missionary to cross cultures without studying the language and customs of the people he is trying to reach is futile. Hudson Taylor was barely in his twenties when he arrived in China as a cross cultural missionary. When he chose to adopt the Chinese habits of diet and dress, he met with opposition…. from the veteran missionaries. But Taylor captured the hearts of the Chinese because he was willing to go beyond the ordinary. This revolutionary way of thinking opened doors for his ministry, and set the pace for decades of other missionaries.
Let’s reinforce the identity of children who are not hearing it from their fathers…Matthew 3:16,17 NIV “This is my son, whom I love, with him I am well pleased.” Our blessing and affirmation of our children means everything to their success and their future. But what about the kids who are not getting the blessing from a nurturing, affirming environment at home? This is where the church must rise up and care, love, nurture, teach and reach a generation!
The battle lines are drawn, and the message is clear- will we let the world shape the values of this generation?
We must reach this generation of 20-somethings, and build `cutting edge’ harvesting churches!
America has gone from a Christian nation to an unreached people group in three generations. How will this group of Americans shape our culture in the next 5 to 10 years?
Currently 4.5 million teens turn 20 each year. Once a child reaches that milestone, the odds of reaching them for Christ are 10 to 1. Barna research - “What you believe at 13, you’ll die believing”. The average age of conversion in America today is 15 years old, and 80 % takes place before age 24.
But we have reason to hope! Jesus is too large to ever be silenced. His name will be great among the nations(Mal.1:1) This young generation of Americans are more missions conscious than any group before. Each year, more American teens take missions trips than ever before in history. As a result, many of them have a great, encompassing,broadened world-view.
GenXers and Millennials are also very spiritually hungry, not for religion or even church, but for the reality of the Christ living in them. We must respond to the challenge, pray for strategies and be open to the Spirit.
God has not overlooked this generation. They have been chosen for great things! They will be history makers!
Remember, the water is turbulent where oceans meet. We must respond to the challenge of transition, pray for God's strategies, and be open to His Spirit. The world has a great stronghold on this generation, but `Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." | 2019-04-18T16:34:23 | http://www.life623.com/blog/leading-church-in-times-of-transition |

do we really have to go out in THIS weather?
as the famous headline goes… glorious day with dogs lounging around in various places to cool off.
So, there is the old dog, lying next to me as I type – under a window with a delightful breeze just ruffling the curtains.
There is the brown dog, upside down and legs akimbo on the sofa near the sitting room door – spark out and then….
There is the ‘baby’ who is rushing about from upstairs, to downstairs, to the gate at the bottom of the garden, to the front room window, paws on windowsill, gazing out – jumping on and very quickly off, the bed, rushing out to the garden and very quickly back in again- loads of activity. Why?
Well, it’s all quite simple really – unlike the other two who are pure bred Labradors, she is part Collie and who knows what else. This seems to mean that she has a natural herding instinct and so is trying to coral us all into the same space. Doomed to fail as it happens as the darling daughter has gone out for the day and the man of the house is on the allotments (at the end of the garden).

The technology underlying Summary Street, Intelligent Essay Assessor (IEA), and WriteToLearn is based on the KAT engine, including Pearson’s unique implementation of Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), an approach that is trained to measure the semantic similarity of words and passages by analyzing large bodies of relevant text. LSA can then closely approximate the degree of similarity of meaning between two texts as judged by human readers.
An Internet-based tool for automatically scoring the quality of electronically submitted essays, IEA uses Pearson’s state-of-the-art Knowledge Analysis Technologies™ (KAT) engine, which automatically evaluates the meaning of text, as well as grammar, style, and mechanics. What’s more, IEA can also evaluate short constructed responses. In tests with thousands of constructed responses, the Intelligent Essay Assessor has proven as reliable as professional human scorers.
In the past, the only way to automatically evaluate the reading level of a text was to measure the length of the words and sentences and the difficulty of the words used. These methods rely too much on correlative data rather than causative, and ignore the divergence in vocabulary and syntax that occurs as readers advance from elementary school through university level readings. Pearson’s RMM is able to model more accurately the way words are learned through reading. It does a better job of identifying the relative meaning between words in the text, providing a much more accurate measure of complexity for texts of all sizes and types. All of these calculations are done within seconds, allowing you to quickly choose the most appropriate level of text for your middle school classroom, your university level seminar, or your children at home.
The Versant testing system, based on the patented Versant technology, uses a speech processing system specifically designed to analyze speech in a manner that distinguishes between native and non-native speakers. In addition to recognizing words, the system also locates and evaluates relevant segments, syllables, and phrases in speech. Statistical modeling techniques are applied to assess the spoken performance. With an average of 0.97 correlation across Versant tests, the computer-generated Versant test scores are virtually indistinguishable from human scoring.
An effort by Pearson, the giant education company, to recruit people to score essays on state standardized tests through ads on Craigslist has sparked controversy in Texas.
Pearson ran an ad on Craigslist last Nov. 29 looking for people to be be hired and then trained to score the written portion of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills. Pearson has a contract with the state to write, administer and score the tests.
Prior to seeing this ad, we have heard concerns from across the state about the state’s standardized testing system, the rigidity of the state’s accountability system, and the quality of the people grading the written portion of the state’s test and the consistency of the results. Now we have a better idea why.
To be fair, Pearson and the Texas Education Agency have developed “rubrics” to help train these people to grade our student’s tests. These rubrics can be found at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/staar/writing/. So, in addition to the concern that teachers are “teaching to the test,” now our test graders are being “taught how to grade the test”.
This highlights what we think is another weak link in the accountability chain. This type of training results in grading based on static formulas by people who aren’t truly qualified to grade the quality of a student’s writing skills. This results in teachers teaching students to “write for the test”, not write well. We can do better.
We view this as a win/win/win for Texas Public Education. The parents and taxpayers win because they have more confidence in the grading process. TEA and Pearson win because they get a higher quality grader that provides better data to evaluate our student’s performance. The teachers win because they have more confidence in the grading system and they have a potential to earn a little extra money.
Discussions are now under way in Texas about how the Legislature in the upcoming session will change the standardized testing system, and sources say that one idea being considered is stipulating who can grade the exams.
Pearson conducts an exhaustive search for the very best people to score student tests. Pearson works with the same employment resources used by school systems across the state such as the Austin, Houston and San Antonio independent school districts to promote career opportunities.
Pearson advertises broadly for qualified test scorers. The extensive search for test scorers in Texas includes advertisements with 21 different organizations and publications including the National Council of Teachers of English, the Austin American-Statesman newspaper and the Texas Workforce Commission….
….All test scorers hired by Pearson must have at least a four-year degree and undergo very rigorous, state-approved training before they are allowed to begin work. As part of this rigorous training, applicants must complete and pass practice sets before being eligible to work. The rigorous training program for scorers was developed with the Texas Education Agency, and TEA must approve all final training materials.
Pearson said it has more than 1,800 full time and 2,425 part time employees—many former educators—working at Pearson’s Texas offices in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio.

Jake is currently working on the upcoming documentary, What Happened To Elisa Lam?, alongside friend and colleague, Jared Salas. Currently in pre-production, the documentary’s film crew line-up is already setting the standards high, with a successful Kickstarter campaign (launched February of this year) already showing signs of a very promising venture.
The Cecil Hotel (re-branded "Stay On Main" in 2011) was constructed in 1924 and is located in the downtown area of Los Angeles, California.
The documentary takes us on a journey through the mysteries of the Elisa Lam case, focusing on three primary angles: the murder conspiracy; the potential paranormal activity in the hotel; and an analysis of Elisa’s psychiatric condition. For those that are uncertain with the story, check out this great overview article by theGhostDiaries.com. The movie will retrace the footsteps involved in investigating the case, documenting the trials and tribulations involved in exploring a case so shrouded in mystery and darkness. Featuring re-enactments, real footage from inside the Cecil Hotel, and an excellent collection of interviews with a broad variety of people involved in the case, the documentary is already set to be the ultimate go-to for anyone interested in this real-life modern mystery.
With a storyline uncannily similar to that of the horror movie, Dark Water, the Elisa Lam case took the internet by storm back in 2013, and since then, the hype has only diminished very minimally. What with the release of 2015’s American Horror Story: Hotel, which was heavily inspired by the history of the Cecil Hotel, and the ever-growing list of synchronicities associated with this mystery (the LAM-ELISA test; the Black Dhalia; the connections to Aleister Crowley and the demon named LAM etc.), it comes as no surprise that the public has not yet lost interest in this case. This, really, can only be viewed as a positive thing, given that the case still remains unsolved (in the eyes of the general public, police reports aside), and that the majority of people still feel that Elisa Lam is still due to receive some justice. Alas, with this documentary, it is hoped that some further light can be shed on the case; at very least, we keep our fingers crossed that it will help to draw attention to the unjust death of Elisa Lam, and that society, in general, perhaps ought to pay more attention to those in need of psychological help. Mental disorders are still taboo in most societies and cultures around the world, and that is ultimately something that needs to be changed.
Surveillance camera footage released by the LAPD shows Elisa Lam in one of the Cecil Hotel's elevators -- this was her last known sighting.
This is a serious case that we are always fascinated to explore, and that we will continue to explore. We hope you enjoy our talk with Jake just as much as we did. | 2019-04-23T22:25:01 | https://wotrradio.com/blog/2017/7/6/what-happened-to-elisa-lam-with-jake-anderson-director-of-upcoming-lam-documentary |

All three of these waterfalls are within about one mile of each other, yet each is uniquely beautiful, and has their own personality.
At Upper Falls, the quiet river gathers itself into a massive rock chute, charging the water full of energy before it spills into a pool far below.
Middle Falls spreads a sheet of falling water over a lava cliff, into a large pool. The water is icy cold, but in the summer you will find people frolicking in it.
Lower Falls is a small chute spilling into a pool below. Access to all three falls has been greatly improved in recent years by the Forest Service.
There is a trail connecting all three, which is partially wheelchair accessible. The trail is approximately 1 ½ miles long, one way. There are picnic tables and restrooms at the Lower Falls area. There is a parking area and restrooms at the Middle Falls. From the parking area you can choose to walk just a short distance to an overlook above the falls or travel down the trail to the pool. | 2019-04-24T16:34:02 | http://mountshastabedandbreakfast.com/mccloud-river-falls/ |

but nope! I’m home in Malmö but hey, it’s a lovely weekend anyway. No macarons or crêpes and I’m also on duty but it’s Nadine Labakis latest movie AND popcorn. Hipp hepp for Saturday!
I have hardly show you any pic from Istanbul or shared any story. One of the best moments in Istanbul was my B-day dinner which we had at Mikla. I booked us a table two months in advance and mine oh mine it was so worth it!
I really could go to Istanbul just to have dinner at Mikla again (& a Bellini at their roof top).

A study presented to the Royal Society by Jaeggi and Gurven (2013) took a really good look at primate behaviour and, in particular, what was the motivation behind the obvious inclination for individuals to share. By all accounts primates get the collaborative environment. Each one of them understands that it is entirely in their own interests to share - to do otherwise is a really bad idea if you want to succeed in your social group. At its core is an understanding of the importance of reciprocity - I give you a banana when I have some and you have none on the understanding you will return the favour when the situation reverses. Sharing is selfish. I only do it because it benefits me.
In a cloud based collaborative environment such as Google Apps sharing is really easy. The whole enterprise is set up to help users to share their stuff. However, at least in the early stages, getting people to share freely can be really tough. Many times, trying to convince someone to give away a lifetimes collection of teaching resources is far from an easy sell. In general, it doesn't help much to explain the Chimp example either.
Unfortunately, we know that without a sharing culture the whole collaborative thing never really gets off the ground and the entire enterprise can quickly seem rather pointless. Organisations frequently 'move to the cloud' but see no real change in behaviour, and as such see only a small percentage of the available benefits. Instead of productivity gains they may even see productivity losses as people try to operate in a hybrid environment.
Throwing new cloud based tools at people without simultaneous changes in workplace culture is a recipe for disappointment and frustration. It seems that unlike our primate cousins, we need some careful change management to work collaboratively. Managing change does not need to be awkward, or expensive or painful. In fact, it can be fun. Like most things, you just need a plan.
In this series of five blogs I will highlight 8 key things to get right if you want to move your school to the cloud. None are a guarantee of success on their own, but together they will give you a much better chance. The list comes out of my own experience of moving an entire secondary school (Fakenham Academy Norfolk) to a Google Apps based environment.
Like all the items in the list, this one is pretty obvious. Well at least you would think so.
As the person tasked with moving my school to the cloud, the first thing I did was to ensure that I had the unswerving support of the Headteacher. In particular I needed him to 'walk the talk'. So, the first thing we did was to remove his PC from his office and replace it with a Chromebox, followed swiftly by taking away his laptop and changing it for a Chromebook. In doing so, we were able to send a clear message to everyone else in the school.
Our school is part of a small Academy Trust. All other schools in the MAT run O365 and there was some concern about the practicalities of running the Google platform. The Headteacher was at the sharp end of this and had to demonstrate that this was not an obstacle to change and implementation. Inevitably there were some challenges along the way, but none so great that we were unable to find a way around them.
The Headteacher, with support, consistently demonstrated that he was making the change. He was one of the first people to use Google Classroom in his teaching. He took the lead with sharing documents, having an online Calendar and using an online bulletin board. He was front and centre of the change process. He was critical to the success of the project.
Crucially, he understood that sharing in an open and collaborative way right from the start was the thing he needed to do to get what he wanted - it was selfish, and he knew it.
"In my 28 years of working in Secondary schools this is the first time I can genuinely say we are a collaborative organisation."
Next week I will be looking at the cadence of the academic year and also revealing Tip 2 and 3!
After 25 years of experience in teaching, Mark now helps schools and academies across the UK to make a digital transformation. He is a Google Certified Trainer and Education Consultant specialising in digital change management for schools. This blog series will reveal the bumps, bruises and near misses that can take place along the way to digital transformation and highlight the key 8 things to get right to move your school to the cloud. The blogs will be published every Wednesday over the next 5 weeks.

I remember a short video we took of Anny just days before she left us. She was sitting on the couch sideways, cross-legged, wearing her Dallas Cowboys cap and blue sweatshirt, eating her bowl of Ramen Noodles. (she loved that crap, we didn't know about the MSG back then, quite frankly, we didn't know a lot of things back then). We were discussing Valentine's day coming up in February. Her statement was, "everybody better remember me". I never thought at the time those 2 words would ring so loud throughout my heart each and every day.
So baby girl, here is a post I am sharing on your page today for you, from you to us and right back atcha'.
"When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart. For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost."
Oh Anny girl, how I miss you but can't really because your energy still flows within each of us that knew you. Thank you for the time you gave to us while you were here. Love Mom.
P.S. You would love FB, you have so many friends and family on there that certainly remember you :) and are "In the KNOW and the NOW"
In fact, if all the FB visitors would please click the FB Like button over there in the right hand column that would be GREAT! And feel free to leave a comment or message if you are so moved.
Liking this site, visiting the site and commenting on the site pulls the page up in a higher rank on various search engines. I will be transferring all the research, facts and findings we have been focused on since 2001. There are some key issues that so many families are not familiar with. I've covered some of the most damaging issues that effect the greatest masses. Some are of course the SSRI's, the GMO's, CHEMTRAILS or as they would rather us call it now, GEO-ENGINEERING (but a rose by any other name is still a rose, right?), VACCINATIONS, FRACKING, HEALTH and now the biggy for health care, THE CANNABIS CURES.
We will be pulling many of the pages from those sites to this AnnyBelle Blog, getting all the info into one place. Then it is time to DISSEMINATE the facts to the masses wouldn't you say? Time everyone knows what we have learned right? | 2019-04-21T12:17:47 | http://annybelle.blogspot.com/2014/ |
Colin, our Lumholtz’s Tree Kangaroo has a brand new home! This enclosure is much more stimulating than his previous one. There are natural vines and trees for him to make his way through and platforms for feeding and sleeping on a various levels.
Although Colin is in his own enclosure, he is still part of the breeding population at Wildlife Habitat, and often enjoys the company of a female. He is settling in well and has been clambering through the vines and had explored nearly every inch of the new enclosure.
Tree-kangaroos are notoriously difficult to see in the wild, with this enclosure you can get close views of this amazing species.
Wildlife Habitat is proud to participate in the Lumholtz’s Tree-kangaroo population management program, which is authorised by the Zoo and Aquarium Association to educate visitors, create conservation awareness, and directly contribute to a sustainable population of the species.

I am very excited to spend my Halloween with my nephew tonight. He is 16 months old now and I cant wait to see him dressed in his costume, a garden gnome!
I offered to bring a dessert tonight, so I figured I should go with a Halloween theme. I received this recipe from a friend. I slightly altered the recipe: I used Oreo® cookies instead of Heath® bars and I eliminated the coffee. I added a few touches: gummy worms and Milano® cookies… and VIOLA, my very own chocolate trifle graveyard!!
I love all things dessert; however, I’ve been trying to be good lately. I can’t give up sweets completely, so instead I decided to incorporate more fresh fruit!
With the number of recent heat waves, I have been craving refreshing, cold treats each night. I found this recipe on one of my go-to recipe websites. I had all the ingredients, I just needed popsicle molds. I found these popsicle molds on Amazon, but honestly, the serving size is a bit much for me. I wish I went with something slightly smaller.
In the end, the recipe is delicious! I can’t wait to try out more popsicle recipes!
My nephew has arrived! Mom and baby Liam are doing wonderful.
I am so happy to be an aunt. Every time I see a cute outfit, I can’t resist purchasing it. However, now that Liam is here, I can’t forget that mom and dad have their hands full now and may need a little assistance.
Homemade Blueberry Muffin recipe here. Lasagna, garlic knots, and salad purchased from the amazing Carlino’s. Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies, recipe here. Pampers diapers and wipes.
According to the radio, today is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! Which is very fitting as I already planned to make chocolate chip cookies today for a pot luck dinner with my girls tomorrow.
I first saw this recipe on a blog post by Cupcakes and Cashmere (fabulous blog, highly recommend). The fact that everyone is calling this recipe “the best,” I had to try it.
The results… they weren’t lying!!!!!!! Ah-mazing!
I didn’t have parchment paper so I used Pam spray.
This week I made Turkey Chili for the big Eagles/Redskins game. I got the recipe from a friend. I served it with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh Italian bread. It was amazing.
1. In a 3-quart saucepan cook and stir ground beef or turkey, bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and the garlic over medium heat until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain off fat.
2. Stir in tomato sauce, undrained beans, undrained tomatoes, chili powder, salt, basil, and black pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, cover for 20 minutes. To serve, ladle chili into bowls. If desired, top each serving with cheese, chopped onion, and/or sour cream and crushed red pepper.
This past Christmas, I received a crock pot. I never knew what I was missing until recently. My mother gave me a pork shoulder that she bought from the store. I decided to try out my crock pot for the first time by making pulled pork sandwiches with the pork shoulder. Not to toot my own horn, but they were amazing! So simple, yet so delicious!
If anyone has any great slow cooker recipes… please share! I’d love to try them. | 2019-04-22T03:03:09 | https://foodfashionfunblog.wordpress.com/category/recipes/ |

A man has been charged over last Thursday’s mass cyclist crash in Sydney which involved a bunch of 50 riders, including some past and present Olympic Games riders.
A 34 year-old man from Claymore has been charged with failing to stop after the piled up on Southern Cross Drive last Thursday morning, according to Australian news site Live News.
The group of bike riders, which included Olympic hopeful Ben Kersten, claim the driver of the Ford Falcon sped past them before jamming on his brakes, resulting in them crashing into the back of the vehicle. No one was seriously injured; however the manoeuvre did cause a semi trailer travelling behind the pack to jack-knife, before skidding to a stop just metres from the cyclists.
Initially the police were unable to locate the man and it was reported that he had gone missing. But the man has since been found and summonsed to appear in Waverley court next month.
The driver allegedly failed to give particulars at the scene before fleeing. His car has already been examined in relation to the incident and investigations are continuing. | 2019-04-26T06:17:06 | https://www.bikeradar.com/news/sydney-driver-charged-over-crash/ |

This afternoon I offered a "Playing with Chocolate" workshop at our store. Especially coming out of the holiday baking spree, I feel very in tune with chocolate - an almost zenlike relationship with cacao so to speak. And so this workshop was my chance to infodump on six gracious participants.
We covered everything from basic ganache to miroire.
First we did a traditional cream ganache. I take one part cream (by weight, although volume gets you close enough that you can adjust from there) and heat it in a microwave for about 90 seconds. I take it to just a simmer or scald, but not further. If 90 seconds is not long enough, give it another 30 seconds and repeat until you get there. Add 2 parts chocolate. In the session I did 100g cream and 200g chocolate. Let the chocolate sit for about 30 seconds, then start stirring with a spatula until the chips are gone. Then pick up the pace and emulsify. Before the chocolate cools too much, add a few dollops of butter if you want the extra sheen. This ganache is ideal for tarts (like the pic above), cake glazes or fillings, or brownie topping. It remains fairly soft unless you chill it, but at room temp it remains cuttable. You can play with ratios for different purposes. 1:3 will make a stiffer chocolate ganache. 1:1 will make thinner. Its chocolate - it will still taste good no matter what you do with it.
Next we played with water based ganaches. First we did just water, then tried a red wine, and finally lychee black tea. Put your chips in a bowl and then add boiling water to almost, but not quite, cover the chocolate. Work toward emulsification just like the cream based ganache. If the chips don't melt, as is often the case, toss in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir. This should be enough to do the trick. Once you've achieved the sheen, let it rest until its the desired consistency. If you are using it as a cake filling, pour while it still fluid. If you want to make truffles, then let it thicken. This ganache is a bit tougher to form into truffles, but knead it in the palm of your hand until it holds together. Remember that the key benefits to this are 1) vegan friendly, and 2) is true to the chocolate flavor. We all agreed that the wine and lychee black ganaches were outstanding. This is the ganache that we piped into the candied kumquats.
Whisk dry ingredients together, add the melted butter, spread the mixture on silpat or parchment paper. Bake 15 minutes. Let cool, crumble, serve with meat, caramel based desserts, sprinkle on ice cream...eat it by the handful.
Here's the final plating: Caramel Panna Cotta with Chocolate Soil and Bacon Powder.
Put gelatin in bowl with 1/4 C. water. Heat cream on stove top with water, sugar and cocoa. Stir until fully combined and cook on medium until steam starts to rise out of the pot. Add the gelatin blob and whisk until it is fully melted. If gel chunks remain, return the pot to the stove and heat on low, whisking until fully melted. Let sit until just tepid and pour on any frozen item. You can pour on a non-frozen item, but the effect is not as dramatic. For an example of my use of mirror glaze click HERE, HERE, HERE, and ,HERE'S an example of a white mirror that I marbled.
For my regular readers, one cool thing that happened here was regarding the kumquats. It is very hard to candy kumquat and not have them implode. You can read a fantastic tutorial on this process HERE on eGullet. But, we used the cream puff injector tip on our pastry bag and filled the collapsed kumquat with dark ganache, which in turn re-puffed the kumquat and made it beautiful and extra tasty. Good stuff.
ur blog is a haven of delish recipes....glad i stumbled upon it.
couldn't be happier to say "hi".
Mmmm I'm thinking chocolate soil would definitely go down by the handful around here! Not that everything you just posted wouldn't!
I need to come down there and take a class from you someday. ;) Especially since I missed the Chile Fest over Labor Day weekend.
I'd love to have you come down sometime. I'm doing my next multi-course tasting dinner on Valentine's night. It will be all aphrodisiac foods.
Tons of goodness on this site, especially the chocolate!
Looking forward to trying some of the recipes! | 2019-04-24T04:45:30 | http://blogquat.blogspot.com/2009/01/playing-with-chocolate.html |

Colts rookie mini camp starts Friday which means a couple things.
1. The Colts are likely to take advantage of this time to get the draft picks under contract.
Quenton Nelson is going to get over $23 million over 4 years with over $15 million of which is the signing bonus.
While Zaire Franklin gets about $2.5 million over 4 years with $87K of which is a signing bonus.
All first round picks get fully guaranteed contracts and the Colts own an option for the 5th year which amounts to Top 10 money for Nelson’s position.
The only guaranteed money Franklin gets is the signing bonus.
Congrats to all our rookies, wishing them all the best as they start mini camp tomorrow.
This is going to be an interesting year...so many new names to learn and recognize on the field.
here is the list of all the tryout players as well as draft picks, UDFAs and a couple second year players Mo Alie-Cox, Kolby Listenbee and Phillip Walker.
So I seen a few pictures posted from the on going OTC and the person who posted them said that it was second string OL.
It was Mewhort at LG, Haeg at C, Braden Smith at RG and possibly Good at RT. Neither picture showed player #s but some players are more obvious to identify then others. None of the pictures showed anyone to the right of Mewhort (Mewhort’s left) so Mewhort might? have been LT, moving everyone over one spot.
Either way that, IMHO, confirms that Q, Slauson and Austin Howard are first team.
To me, it's just the same group of guys starting for at least a quarter season.
Yes, less injuries are a must. Be nice to see a fully healthy team for more than just a game or 2 this yr. | 2019-04-23T08:06:23 | https://forums.footballsfuture.com/topic/10424-rookie-mini-camp-starts-fri-9-of-11-picks-signed/?tab=comments |
Graph transformation is being increasingly used to express the semantics of domain specific visual languages since its graphical nature makes rules intuitive. However, many application domains require an explicit handling of time in order to represent accurately the behaviour of the real system and to obtain useful simulation metrics.
Inspired by the vast knowledge and experience accumulated by the discrete event simulation community, we propose a novel way of adding explicit time to graph transformation rules. In particular, we take the event scheduling discrete simulation world view and incorporate to the rules the ability of scheduling the occurrence of other rules in the future. Hence, our work combines standard, efficient techniques for discrete event simulation (based on the handling of a future event set) and the intuitive, visual nature of graph transformation. Moreover, we show how our formalism can be used to give semantics to other timed approaches. | 2019-04-25T16:51:16 | https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-15928-2_18 |

Spring has become one of my favorite seasons—it’s a time when we celebrate the successes of our faculty and staff who have worked hard to improve the lives of our students. Specifically, for the Office of Instruction, spring is when we recognize the innovative teaching and guidance of our faculty and advisors. Now becoming an annual tradition, Associate Vice Presidents for Instruction Naomi Norman and Bill Vencill and I made surprise visits—coordinated through their deans and academic offices—to our 2017 Creative Teaching Awardand 2017 Outstanding Academic Advisor Award recipients.
The Creative Teaching Award recognizes faculty who work to promote student success through innovation and their significant impact at the University of Georgia. This year we chose four individuals who took teaching beyond the confines of a traditional classroom and made learning more accessible and meaningful for their students.
Trisha Branan (Pharmacy) transformed her Critical Care Pharmacy course to create a virtual intensive care unit patient room that allowed students to interact with various healthcare disciplines and patient families. Jason Cantarella (Mathematics) designed a revolutionary learning experience in his level one calculus course through “Robot Calculus,” where students experienced the direct impact of mathematics on robotic programming. Julie Luft(Mathematics and Science Education) and Kristen Miller (Biological Sciences) collaborated on a course that prepares undergraduate students to be Peer Learning Assistants (PLA’s). Although other faculty have used PLA’s in the past, they created an innovative course to give advanced students the pedagogical training needed to better help other students succeed in challenging math and science classes, while also putting the PLA’s learning into action.
Our Outstanding Academic Advising Award recognizes staff members for excellence in advising undergraduate students. Exploratory Center advisor Cindy Schulman is noted for her tireless efforts in helping intended business majors and transfer students find the right career path. From using Skype to communicate with students to helping them work through conflict and learn how to solve problems diplomatically, her compassion for her advisees extends beyond the normal role of advisor. New advisor Jessie Daniels provides exemplary service to non-traditional and online BBA students, many of whom have put their education on hold for several years, providing them with a much-needed connection in transitioning back to college and UGA.
The passion for helping students achieve is evident in each of these faculty and staff. They are the heart of this university and motivate our students to not only succeed but to excel.
On April 17, we’ll have the opportunity to publicly present our Creative Teaching Awards to these four outstanding faculty in front of their peers at the Faculty Recognition Banquet. And our outstanding advisors will be recognized at the spring Academic Advising Coordinating Council meeting. Stay tuned for the next issue of Engage when we will recognize the faculty receiving our First-Year Odyssey Seminar Teaching Awards, as well as the Outstanding and Excellence in Teaching Awards for graduate students.
Please join me in congratulating our winners and be thinking about what you can do to be more innovative. If you are working on innovative teaching strategies in your classroom, please let me know! I’d love to hear what you’re doing. | 2019-04-20T07:17:05 | https://ovpi.uga.edu/news/celebrating-innovation/ |

Easy to install or remove, fits over the Pro Angler 17's hull (like a fitted sheet on a mattress). Straps and pull string adjust for a tighter fit. Cross straps secure the cover on the hull for windy conditions. Heavy duty UV resistant canvas material in a neutral color for better aging. Universal covers fit over the hull when upright or upside down. To help prevent distortions to the hull bottom shape, Hobie recommends that Hobie's kayak hulls be stored upside down resting on the cockpit rails. This is also best for deflecting rainwater and prevents water pooling in the cockpit or on the cover. When planning to store a hull upright, be sure to properly support the hull bottom to prevent hull distortions. Universal fit covers may not entirely cover some hulls, especially with accessories installed. | 2019-04-26T14:13:01 | https://nextadventure.net/hobie-pro-angler-17-kayak-cover.html |
I have been having this itch... I want to make Allyson's baby food, or at least attempt it. So that's what I did. It was so incredibly easy!! I think we are going to start Allybug off with rice cereal and then butternut squash.
It's incredibly lame how excited I was to make that. I'm looking forward to feeding Allyson and pureeing more veggies.
Yesterday my sweet little girls put on their pink and their pink bow to support Spring for SIDS. Don't they look so cute??
This is for you Maddie & Macie! Go Team M!!
I've been following the blogs of two women who had the absolute worst thing happen to them. Their precious little girls were suddenly taken from them due to SIDS. Their mothers are both raising money and awareness about SIDS. After reading these blogs and just the heartache these women feel... I hug both my girls tighter at night and thank Jesus for each and every day that he gives me with my little princesses.
Yesterday was also the royal wedding ... oh la la la ... We didn't watch it, we don't have cable otherwise I probably would have. Miss Allyson woke up early enough to watch. So I thought she could not only wear pink BUT where her Queen of the Castle onesie AND her princess binky. I know you just want to squeeze her huh??
Ugghh!! I am not organized at all. I like to pretend that I am.
I put events & appointments on my calendar on my phone. That's probably as far as it goes for organization.
I like to start lists. I never complete what's done on the list.
I have coupons that are in a one of those neat little organizers ... most are expired.
I have things in piles on the counter which drives my husband INSANE. The piles make no sense but makes sense to me.
I love those plastic bins. I just need to have a ton more than I have.
ugh I would kill to be organized ... any tips? Someone want to come over and organize my house. I feel like that's half my problem. I need someone to start a system for me. Do the hard work and I can maintain it. Any takers?
I just started reading Bringing Up Girls by Dr. James Dobson.
I'm really enjoying reading this book. I feel like I have learned so much. I totally recommend this book. I have learned so much about how to raise my girls and even about myself.
Was she really this tiny??? I don't believe it.
I am horrible when it comes to cleaning. Horrible!! I go days without cleaning anything with the exception of dishes and the laundry then I spend a whole day cleaning the house. It's a horrible habit I started when I was pregnant then carried over to after Allyson was born. I can't seem to snap out of it. The last few days I've seen so many blogs and articles about cleaning, I'm thinking that's God giving me a nudge and telling me I need to get out of my funk.
This is one of the blogs I came across. So much good information.
I'm going to spend some time looking at my days and planning what I need to do to get this house back in order. I'm sure my husband would really like that.
Doesn't sound like a place you want to move your family to right?
Love Modesto started a few years ago. Showing people that we are a great community with amazing people. There are many different projects that people can help out with and serve within our community.
We chose to bring cookies to public servants. I decided to let Aubrey pick where would take our cookies ... Chocolate Chip cookies & Chocolate Crinkles ... Chocolate overload yes?
The gang at the police station!
Then to Memorial Hospital to deliver cookies to the EMTs. He even turned the lights on the ambulance for Aubrey!
The Farmer's Market was today. We had a great time. Allyson LOVED to people watch.
Then the library for some more Franklin books.
Aubrey has been busy learning to use scissors and practicing her writing. She enjoys doing homework & school work at the table.
We got Tangled !! So very exciting! | 2019-04-25T18:16:01 | http://www.allthingsa.net/2011/04/ |
1. Won't laser treatments make your skin thinner?
2. Won't my wrinkles become deeper if I take botox once and don't maintain with regular injections?
TRUTH #1: Laser treatments might make your skin a little dry at first, but it will NOT make your skin thinner.
Lasers might make your skin a little sensitive for a while, and you might feel temporary dryness. In such cases it is highly recommended that you apply plenty of moisturizer or rejuvenating creams. We would also advise you to avoid direct strong sunlight, sauna, and alcohol consumption for about a week or two.
Our doctors maintain their own skin with regular laser treatments such as Excel V, IPL, laser toning, Thermage, Shurink, and such. These lasers are all suitable even for sensitive skin types.
Our skin tends to thin as we age, since our collagen production decreases. Laser treatments help to regenerate collagen, so you would actually notice your skin thickening and becoming tighter as a result.
TRUTH #2: Botox will never cause more wrinkles.
Everyone gets wrinkles with age. Botox injections can help prevent this by restricting muscle movement that makes wrinkles form. Ceasing botox injections can make the wrinkles form again, but not more than you already had. And after longer periods of no botox, wrinkles can become deeper as you age, but this is not related to botox in any way.
Another reason you might think the post-botox wrinkles may appear deeper is that patients become accustomed to their face while the botox takes effect, and forget what the wrinkles had looked like before. So once the wrinkles appear again they might be a bit hard to adjust to.
Botox injections can prevent wrinkles becoming deeper, not cause them. Our doctors also maintain their facial lines with regular botox injections. | 2019-04-26T08:04:48 | http://rnmeskin.blogspot.com/2016/04/misconceptions-about-dermatology.html |
Selling a business is a complicated process. Even if you hire brokers like us to sell your business, it’s still imperative for you to understand the process before, during and after the sale. You can’t simply hire us or another broker and blindly let us handle everything.
As an owner, you have a tremendous amount of responsibility to participate in the process regardless of who you hire to help you out. With almost two decades of experience in helping entrepreneurs sell their businesses, I learned that most of them had been thinking about actually selling their business, but never thought about preparing for the sale.
Is this book written for you?
If your business has a revenue of less than $25 million, then this book is for you. Whether you’re selling your business now or you’ve been thinking about selling in the next five years, you will gain useful and actionable insights from this book.
Sell your business without stress. The process of selling a business is complex and can be extremely stressful, especially if not handled correctly. On this book, I explain the entire sale process in simpler terms to help you understand what happened before, during and after the sale.
Anticipating what’s going to happen, e.g., how you should qualify buyers or how you should choose the right seller financing, etc., can definitely reduce, if not totally eliminate, stress in the process.
Be more confident in selling your business. The overwhelming majority of business owners do not have a solid grasp of the fundamentals of selling a business. One of the major reasons for this is that existing books out there are either based merely on theories or intended for very large million-dollar companies.
Because this book is grounded in my nearly 20 years of actual experience handling successful deals, and targeted at businesses with revenues below $25 million, you can be confident that you will get only practical, concrete advice and actionable insights that you can implement in whichever stage of sale you are.
Discover what you don’t know about your own business. There are things about your own business that you will discover only once you take a seller’s hat on. You’ll see your business from a totally different perspective as you better understand how the process can be simplified and as you implement practical advice provided in the book.
How important is preparation in selling a business?
How do I ensure buyers are qualified?
How should I hire a broker? When is a broker necessary and when are they not needed?
What’s the best way to negotiate with buyers so I wouldn’t leave money on the table?
How should I structure notes or seller financing so I am protected?
How do I get the most exposure for my business while keeping the sale confidential?
What happens to debts when selling a business?
Can you sell your business without a broker?
In a few situations, selling a business on your own is a wise decision; however, in many instances, hiring a broker is the best way to maximize your profit from the sale.
How has selling a business changed in the last few years?
The Internet has completely changed the industry and the process. Technology has a significant impact on almost every step in the sale -- from how a business is advertised, to how buyers search for businesses to buy, to how you obtain financing. Unfortunately, the industry has not kept up.
Through this book, I hope to help you make intelligent decisions about one of the most significant decisions you will ever make in your life --selling your business.

Living in a State like Ohio where mother nature is never quite sure how to make up her mind, things like snow days and delays are only a natural occurrence. While all students and teachers as well enjoy snow days, the average person would more than likely not be able to explain what steps are needed to make these things happen, so here are a few of them.
Over all, the superintendent of the school district tends to make the final decision on if a school should close due to inclement weather, but they are not the only one involved with the decision.
Our superintendent, Mr. Yazvac was kind enough to meet with us and walk us through the process of deciding when the school delays and when it closes. Mr. Yazvac discussed that the school looks at future weather predictions and forecasts and will even go as far as to contact the local police department to gather reports on how the roads were during the different officers’ nightly rounds in the town.
The school’s transportation management is also consulted due to their knowledge of how they believe their braking systems will perform in such cold weather, and if they think it will be safe to drive on the roads. Yazvac stressed that the students’ safety is a main priority and because the school busses use a special type of brake to help slow such a large vehicle when stopping, but these brakes can be affected and prove faulty in cold environments since they use air as the stopping power.
After getting in touch with these various contacts the superintendent then communicates with his board of colleagues to make the final decision on whether or not to delay or even close down the school. After that there is only one thing left to do, which is sit back, sleep in and enjoy the break….If you’re a student that is.

Within a few weeks, I've run across two novels that use the "Choose Your Own Adventure" model in parts of the story to advance the narrative. I have to wonder if this is a coincidence or if it says something about the age of the authors.
I had read two other novels by Gabrielle Zevin before I picked up Young Jane Young. Her novel The Storied Life of A J Fikry is a book lover's book. I listened to it on audio and then bought a hard copy, hoping she'd provided a list in the back of the books referenced in the novel. Her YA novel Elsewhere gives a picture of the afterlife quite different from the one in The Lovely Bones. In her latest novel Young Jane Young, Zevin tells the story of a mother and daughter--or two sets of mothers and daughters. The title character adopts this new name after reaching the kind of infamy associated with Monica Lewinsky. Midway through the book, the narrator begins to instruct, "If you think she...turn to page..."
When I read Nathan Hill's debut novel The Nix, the author tells another tale, weaving the story of a son and his mother, follow childhood and adulthood of both Samuel Andreson-Anderson and his mother Faye Andreson-Anderson. The story opens as Faye is arrested for throwing a handful of gravel toward a political candidate, earning her infamy in the news as the "Packer Attacker." Meanwhile, Samuel, the son the abandoned when he was young, is an adjunct literature professor wrestling with a study guilty of plagiarism but unwilling to accept the rap. Meanwhile, he has made no progress on the novel for which he has already spent the advance money. He spends far too many hours playing the video game Elfscape. Hill uses the same Choose Your Own Adventure technique following Samuel's choices.
Flashbacks introduce readers to Samuel's childhood spent with his friend Bishop, falling for Bishop's twin sister Bethany, a violin prodigy around the time his mother leaves. Hill also takes the story back to Faye's teenage and college years before she dropped out of college barely into her first semester to marry Samuel's father Henry.
The novel casts a wide net, bringing together a cast of characters that pull the story lines together. Pwnage, one of the notorious members of the Elfscape online gaming community meets Samuel in real time. Samuel learns eventually that his literary agent, under another name, was part of Faye's life too.
Protest marches, often turning violent, appear in at least three different times of the story. Faye is caught up in a march in Chicago during the Democratic Convention. One particular entertaining side story shows Hubert Humphrey obsessed with bathing to rid himself of the stench from the nearby slaughterhouses. Later, Samuel joins Bethany in a march, carrying mock-up caskets, to memorialize American soldiers killed in the Middle East, including his old friend Bishop.
Both Zevin's and Hill's novels move through both time and place to round out multi-generational narratives rich enough to grab hold of readers' memories and to give them plenty of adventure ripe for the choosing.
I get it! Facebook is for old people. I read it in the newspaper (also for old people, according to one of my comp students). What about blogging though?
I confess that while I try to stay current on my reading posts, I had not checked my favorite blogs list in awhile. Sure enough, more than half had been abandoned. I would still prefer to having a few places to go for book suggestions and such without having to sift through my backlog of emails.
My question, then, to those who take time to read what I write: Are there blogs you read regularly or often? I don't necessarily need more book suggestions. I could be snowed in for months without running out of reading material. But I enjoy book suggestions, book lists, book chat. I am also interested in other bloggers who have something to say worth reading. Humor is a plus. I'd like your feedback.
When I heard Kristin Hannah had a new novel, I was expecting something like The Nightingale, her last book set during World War II. Instead, she tells a story that begins in 1974 with Leni Allbright, a young girl whose father has returned a changed, broken man after released from captivity as a POW in Vietnam.
Throughout the story, I'm reminded of how much the world has changed, how much we know now that we didn't when I was a teenager. This tale is set in a world in which PTSD is still considered "shell shock"--if considered at all. Abused women have no legal defense if they take action against their abusers. DNA testing isn't an option in the event of a crime, and it's not yet possible to track down someone simply by Googling.
Leni and her mother Cora walk on eggshells around Ernt, her father, who wakes with night terrors and the slightest thing can cause him to snap violently. When a friend he lost in Vietnam leaves his cabin to Ernt and the family, the family makes the decision to move to remote Alaska. They arrive completely unprepared for life in a small town without indoor plumbing or even electricity in most places.
Leni finds herself torn when she falls for Matthew, the only boy her age in the small school and the son of the relatively wealthy family that first settled the town. Her father connects with the family of his lost friend, a branch of survivalists preparing for the inevitable showdown they refer to as WSHTF. He despises and resents Tom Walker, Matthew's father, and Cora's evident attraction adds fuel to the fire.
Hannah peoples the town with many colorful characters, a crazy man who claims to be married to his duck, and a former lawyer calling herself Large Marge, who befriends and helps the Allbright women as they learn to survive. Leni has to learn to farm and to hunt. She has to be wary of bears and other predators. She has to be wary of her father's sudden mood shifts.
As they have to work fast and hard to store up food for the long winter, Leni and her mother realize that the extended darkness will bring out the demons in Leni's father. He becomes increasingly physically abusive toward Cora, whose toxic love keeps her from pressing charges or leaving him.
Throughout the story, the author maintains tension as the characters, even levelheaded Leni, make wrong moves with dire consequences. What develops is a love story for the wilds of Alaska, and the complicated love/hate story that many children--and adults--endure.
As in The Nightingale, Hannah sometimes tests the reader's "willing suspension of disbelief," and her heavy use of parenthetical expressions sometimes made me want to suggest that she should trust her readers to recognize the significance of these side details.
Without adding any spoilers, I must say that I wrestled with some of the plot resolution, but the narrative kept me turning pages long after time for lights out.
I first read Ken Follett's novels years ago, starting with Pillars of the Earth. It remains on my short list of favorite books, especially since I enjoy historical fiction that covers a long span of time--including works by James Michener and Leon Uris.
When I traveled to Europe with students and visited some of the great cathedrals, a colleague insisted I read Pillars. I'm glad I did, and I've seen how the book has touched so many other people close to me. For example, I have a brother-in-law in the building profession, he says, because he read this book. Another teaching colleague recalled the impact of one of the early scenes, which brought him to tears since he read it when his own first child was still a baby.
I enjoyed several of Follett's suspense novels too--The Key to Rebecca and Eye of the Needle. It took him years to get back to writing epics, first World Without End, the sequel to Pillars of the Earth, and then the Century Series.
A Column of Fire, the third of this trilogy, is set in and around Kingsbridge, the fictional town where Tom the Builder first started his cathedral, but these characters spread across Europe as well. Set primarily during the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods in England, during the time of the Spanish Inquisition and the Spanish Armada, this book gives a close look at the impact of the division between Catholics and Protestants.
The main character Ned Willard comes from a family of tradesmen with Protestant sympathies, but early on, he falls in love with Margery Fitzgerald, the daughter of a prominent Catholic family. When her family pushes her instead to marry Bart, next in line to become Earl of Shiring, she complies after a lecture by the priest about her duties to her parents.
After Ned's family loses everything because of some legal maneuvers of Margery's brother Rollo, Ned ends up serving Queen Elizabeth under Walsingham. For most of his life, Ned fights for the principle of tolerance, working to make Elizabeth I's goal that no one die for faith in England become a reality.
A second narrative thread follows despicable self-promoter Pierre Aumand, an illegitimate offspring of the Guise family in Paris, who through deception maneuvers himself into a position of power, which he uses again French Protestants, including the strong, sympathetic character Sylvie Palot, a member of a Protestant family of printers who work to smuggle religious texts in French into the country.
Through the novel, Follett follows Ned's brother to the New World, where he falls in love with Bella, a Hispaniola rum maker. He also traces the life, marriage, and death of Mary, Queen of Scots and her fictional lady-in-waiting and childhood friend Allison.
Any student of this historical period will appreciate the attention to detail--including the defeat of the Spanish Armada by the English navy, beheading of Mary, and the uncovering Gunpowder Plot. In the epilogue, Follett lets readers know which characters are real and which are his creation.
After experiencing the decades of Ned Willard's life, I had a glimpse of the possibility that there might be a fourth book in the sequel, as his grandson Jack, a Puritan, makes plans to head to America.
From the author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and The Love Song of Miss Queen Hennessy, I was happy to discover a new novel. I loved the way Rachel Joyce brought together such unlikely combinations of characters. The Music Shop is no exception.
The story is set in a neighborhood in a declining section of London as the streets up and down the street are being forced to close their doors, some selling out to pushy developers. In 1988, Frank, the owner of a music store, refuses to give in to music trends. He has resisted cassette tapes and now refuses to add CDs, to the dismay of the music sales reps. Frank loves vinyl. He also has a gift for matching up just the right music for each customer--part retailer, part counselor. He has a listening area set up in a repurposed piece of furniture. He employs an accident prone young sales assistant, and he interacts with the neighboring business owners--twin brothers running the family funeral business, a former priest selling (only occasionally) religious icons and bookmarks, and an eccentric female tattoo artist with a not-so-hidden attraction to Frank.
Resistant to love, Frank's life changes when a lovely woman in green passes out just outside his store--and then disappears. Claiming ignorance on the topic, she pays Frank to give her lessons in music outside of store hours. The only obstacle is her fiancé.
Joyce also develops the back story of Frank's childhood, the son of a quirky single mother, negligent at best. Readers learn his mother is the reason he can't bear to hear "The Hallelujah Chorus."
The Music Shop may not be the stuff of literature classes, but it is a fun reading experience--especially for music lovers--with a nice love story. As an added bonus, the author provides a play list on Spotify: bit.ly/TheMusicShopPlaylist. Who doesn't love a playlist that ranges from Chopin and Handel to "Stairway to Heaven" and Aretha Franklin? | 2019-04-24T06:57:32 | http://discriminatingreader.blogspot.com/2018/02/ |
It's been crazy around my house for the past month or so. My husband and I are building a new house on Vancouver Island which we're very excited about. Our final inspection and possession date is next week. It feels like it has been a very long time in coming - we started the process last November, but in actual fact, once they were able to start building, it has only taken 3 months. We had such a snowy winter that they were delayed in getting started.
I'm really excited to have a new craft room that is bigger than I've ever had before and that I'll be able to have room to hold classes. If you're reading this, you live close to Ladysmith, BC and are interested in classes and other events, please comment or send me an email. I hope to be set up again by mid July!
On top of all of that, I just returned home from a 2 week trip to Madrid, Spain. What a lovely place to visit. It was partly vacation where I visited with my family from the UK for 5 days and then partly work.
So, where does that leave me? Well, mostly in a mad scramble to get packed up for the move in early June! My craft room is packed away so I won't get much stamping done until I get settled. I will be able to share some sneak peeks of cards made using new products from the upcoming Stampin' Up! catalogue thanks to the lovely ladies in my monthly swap!
Do you want to receive a new catalogue? If you are an active customer and have order from me either in person or on line in the past 12 months, you will be receiving a complimentary catalogue in the mail before the end of May. If haven't purchased from me in the past 12 months you can email me and I'll get one to you ($15 by mail). I'll give you a credit on your first order of $50 for the value. You can also check out the catalogue online as of June 1st.
Here are a few amazing cards made by my swapping friends.
I love this card made by Jenn Tinline. She used the Crafting Forever set which I think is one of my favourite from the new catalogue. Her card also shows off all of the new In Colours for 2017-2018 - Powder Pink, Tranquil Tide, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Fig. Aren't they amazing!
That's it for now! Stay tuned for more updates on my move and more sneak peeks! Email me to get your new catalogue or to let me know if you might be interested in my events once I move. | 2019-04-23T08:04:44 | http://www.stampingwithmelva.com/2017/05/where-does-time-go.html |

Movie streaming service Netflix has confirmed this week that is has no plans to offer a service for Sony's PS3 or Nintendo's Wii, staying exclusive to Microsoft's Xbox 360.
In a statement made to GamesIndustry.biz, Netflix vice president of corporate communications Steve Swasey told them: "For now, Netflix streaming on game consoles is exclusively on the Xbox 360 - and it's a terrific hit."
Though at the same time Swasey adds that "Netflix is always looking for ways to grow the service."
Add this to the fact that Netflix posted a job vacancy this week for an "engineering leader - gaming platforms" and you can understand why those persistent rumours that Netflix was PS3 and Wii bound kicked off again this week.
The company wants somebody with "years of experience both building and leading the development of games on the current generation gaming consoles," who can "expect to help build a small technology team to rapidly prototype and iterate on a variety of platforms."
To date, Netflix on Xbox 360 has been used by 1 million users that have watched over 1.5 billion minutes of video since the service launched last November. | 2019-04-21T21:23:26 | https://www.techradar.com/sg/news/gaming/netflix-not-going-to-ps3-or-wii-592535 |

Business minded people have a lot of risks to take whenever they get into a venture. Most important is the people to work with. One obviously wants to work with people with clean background, good success rate, good working policies. Then they need to think of things and strategies that would effectively market what they sell – might it be a product or a service. It involves a lot of hard work and enthusiasm not to be taken over instantly by experiences of loss or drought in the economy. Business marketing strategies is part of doing business in order to work on expounding sales; and in order to have a staying power, you also have to outstand other competitors in your field.
These things make great temptation for thinking of marketing schemes that go overboard. In the brink of success and failure, the measurement is based on how one does the business. Have you cheated on the price, the quality and so forth? It also involves other responsibilities such as taxes and the legality of transactions. When these things are compromised, know that a business is in danger sooner or later. There is nothing that is concealed that would not be known and this includes business.
Consumers have to be aware whenever they make a purchase or when employing some service, otherwise, they will fall into these entrepreneurial traps. Marketing is naturally done to attract and fascinate consumers, but one should know the difference between too good to be true offers and practical offers. You have to make sure that you know the reason behind anything that is offered to you and check the product as much as possible. It is also helpful to canvass the same product with others sellers and compare in terms of size, make up, supplier and the like. Be wise consumers. If you have doubts, make necessary action – research and report right away in order for other consumers to be protected from further fraud. | 2019-04-24T22:19:41 | http://blog.instantpeoplefinder.com/2012/05/entrepreneurial-frauds.html |

Friends with benefits? How does it benefit a single wife to be a man’s friend while he has the benefit of coming and going to me and other women as he pleases; using me for my body and all my other assets while I fall deeply in love pretending to benefit from his friendship; giving me the benefit of 6 minutes of painful pleasure which leaves me empty on the inside; giving me the benefit of infections, smells, and diseases; and him getting the upgrade that comes with linking up with a suitable helper while I’m still not getting washed in the water of the Word. What is the benefit of mind games? What benefits are included with late night visits and no public confessions of his feelings for me? What does it benefit a woman to gain a man and lose her soul? And don’t be deceived single wives. It’s only fun or cute for a minute because if we’re believers, we aren’t wired to take this position forever. He created us to be wives.

As of December 2013, critically low water table levels and low lake levels are threatening the water systems managed by Special Districts and weather experts are predicting dry conditions continuing into the next year.
The Department of Water Resources is urging local water agencies to brace for a third dry year and acute water shortages by next summer. Gov. Jerry Brown has declared a State of Emergency due to drought conditions.
Water managers are comparing the impending drought conditions to those of 1976-1977, the most severe modern drought in the region.
Leaky toilets waste a lot of water! Did you know that your toilet could have a leak that you may not even know about? To test your toilet for "invisible leaks" place a few drops of food coloring or a dye tablet into the toilet’s tank. Wait a few minutes and if the coloring appears in the bowl, you have a leak!
A leaky faucet that drips just two tablespoons per minute can waste 15 gallons per day, which is 105 gallons per week and 5,460 per year!!! So remember – fix those leaks!
Check your piping system for leaks by turning off all faucets and appliances, and watching the dial on your water meter. If it moves and you have done the first two checks, you have leaks in the piping after the meter. Identify and repair immediately.
Don’t use the toilet as a wastebasket! Regular toilets use 5 to 7 gallons of water per flush! (Low-flow toilets only use about 1.5 gallons per flush).
Use a toilet tank dam or water bottle in your toilet’s tank. This will help displace the water, allowing the toilet to use less water after each flush.
Install low-flow shower heads or faucet aerators.
Don’t allow the water to run when brushing your teeth. This can waste two gallons of water! Instead, wet your toothbrush, brush your teeth, and then turn the water on again to rinse.
Don’t wash sidewalks, driveways, patios, and so on. Use a broom or vac.
While car washing, use a shut-off nozzle on the hose. Wash with a bucket of soapy water, and then rinse with the spray nozzle.
Don’t water the street, sidewalk and gutter when you sprinkle the shrubs and lawn.
Don’t use water to keep dust down. Consider gravel or paving instead.
Use your dishwasher and washing machines only for full loads!
Keep a pitcher of tap water in the refrigerator. Letting the water run to cool off is wasteful.
Water your lawn only when it needs it! A good way to determine if your lawn needs watering is to step on it. If it springs back up, no watering is needed. If it remains flat, time to water!
Only water your lawn in the early morning or late afternoon. Watering during the middle of the day allows the majority of the water to evaporate and can cause burned grass. Watering at night attracts bugs, mostly those unwanted mosquitoes!
Don’t water when it’s windy! Your water will go everywhere but your lawn! Also, make sure the sprinkler is aimed at your lawn, not the street or sidewalk – they don’t need to grow!
Use a broom instead of the hose to clean your driveway or sidewalk.
Install a trigger nozzle on your outside hose. This will allow the water to be automatically turned off when the hose is not in use. | 2019-04-21T03:00:24 | http://www.lakecountyca.gov/Government/Directory/Special_Districts/Useful_Information/Water_Conservation.htm |
I felt protest should come from Rabbinical body.
in Watertown after this year.
Transcript June 11, 1954 Jason Silverman phoned, saying ADL had received a report that Supt. Francis Kelly of Watertown Schools had approved the holding of exams on a Saturday (June 12). ADL had verified this report. I indicated to Jason I felt protest should come from Rabbinical body. After talking with Rabbi Nadich who said he had never encountered this problem before, I discussed the matter with Rabbi Earl Grollman of Belmont-Watertown area. He agreed to call Mr. Kelly. i'atar, Rabbi Grollman called back to say that Mr. Kelly Indicated to him this procedure would not be repeated on a Saturday in Watertown after this year. | 2019-04-26T05:54:23 | http://digitalcollections.americanancestors.org/cdm/ref/collection/p15869coll1/id/58927/ |

The Hyundai Santa Cruz Crossover Truck Concept has debuted in the brand's stand at the 2015 edition of the Detroit Auto Show. The model is a pick-up with futuristic design, designed specifically for Generation "Y".
Although this model prefigures the possibility of the first pick-up in the manufacturer's range, those at Hyundai have let it be understood that they are not talking about a future production model in the near future. But it is possible that the design lines present on this model will influence their future SUV.
In the case of the Santa Cruz Crossover Truck, Hyundai used a design addressed to "urban adventurers" who need a versatile means of transport, and pleasant from an aesthetic point of view too.
The concept from Hyundai stands out by a trapezoidal large size front grille and through a set of angular optical blocks. The taillights have a different silhouette from what we were shown until now by the Korean manufacturer. But their form is still attractive and we hope to find in the future series models of the mark.
With regards to the motorization, Hyundai announced a 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine rated at 190 hp and 406 Nm of torque. The unit is coupled to a HTRAC all-wheel drive system and announces a combined fuel consumption of 7.8 liters every 100 km. The representatives of the South Korean brand have not talked about the chances of developing a series variant of this concept.
The concept is basically a half-truck half-CUV with seating for five, and the city-friendly footprint of a small crossover.
On the other hand, the Santa Cruz is not a Ford F-150 either. Hyundai's Director of Corporate Planning Mark Dipko said during the world premiere of the vehicle in Detroit that "max payload, towing, and ground clearance are not the point at all."
In order to obtain a larger market share, the Santa Cruz model was designed to address different categories of clients at the same time. Part of this strategy is the presence of media. Thanks to its presence the style and features of this mode are promoted.
Because of its dimensions it is ideal for navigating in the urban jungle or in a tight parking spot. Most pickup drivers have to go through these special situations regularly.
This model provides typical CUV driving characteristics. But it comes with a versatile cargo space, which has separate storage, regardless if it's a recycling center trip, or hauling a pair of mountain bikes. But whatever the activity involved, all tools that are dirty, sweaty, moist, sandy, or bulky remain in the back of the truck, separately from the passenger compartment.
"The Santa Cruz crossover truck concept meets the unspoken needs of a growing Millennial lifestyle we call ‘Urban Adventurers'. This new crossover allows them all the expandable utility they need throughout their active week, from work-life professionalism, to social interests, to a whole variety of outdoor pursuits, without the typical compromises they have come to expect from the industry's current product offerings" stated Mark Dipko, Hyundai's Director of Corporate Planning. | 2019-04-20T21:04:26 | https://www.auto-types.com/autonews/hyundai-santa-cruz-crossover-concept-the-pick-up-that-anticipates-brand-future-design-language-12467.html |

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that it is not the portion of Rivers people to have a sole administrator as the enemies of the state are plotting, because Rivers people overwhelmingly voted for their preferred candidate on March 9, 2019, according to a statement by his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Mr Simeon Nwakaudu.
This is as 86 Political Parties conceded defeat to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike over the Rivers State Governorship Election during a solidarity visit to the governor at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Friday, March 22.
“It is not the portion of Rivers State to have a sole administrator. Our people voted on March 9 and Rivers votes will count”.
“We, therefore call on the former Rivers State Governor, Chief Rufus Ada George, Alabo T.O Graham Douglas , Prof D.M.J. Fubara, Chief Samson Agbaru, Rear Admiral O. Fingesi (rtd) and Group Capt J.I. Ben-Kalio who are known APC members to publicly apologise to Rivers people for this ungodly political mischief. These APC Elders should retrace their steps in the interest of Rivers State”.
They warned the security agencies against further steps to subvert the will of Rivers people.
“We are aware of the persistent plots by the security agencies to thwart the Collation and declaration processes of the Rivers State Governorship Election already won by Your Excellency, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike. We urge the relevant authorities to take immediate steps to call these security agencies to order because under no circumstances shall we allow them to manipulate the mandate of Rivers people”. | 2019-04-24T16:35:14 | https://atlanticpostng.com/a-sole-administrator-is-not-the-portion-of-rivers-state-says-governor-wike/ |

Arena Women's Comics Super Fly Back One Piece Swimsuit is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 1.
Rated 4 out of 5 by JoyAkwBut from Comic Swimming Costume I had to purchase several costumes before I found one that fitted properly. This was after measuring myself and using the Arena sizing guidelines ... but I guess they don't account for someone who has hips & a bigger bottom, as they all came up quite small! It would have made life so much more simple if they had used standard sizing like 12/14 - which is what I range between. The actual costume is comfortable to wear (once you get the right size) and looks great - I love the comic print! | 2019-04-26T11:37:22 | https://cycletowork.wiggle.co.uk/arena-womens-comics-super-fly-back-one-piece-swimsuit/ |
