BrianFagioli shares a report from BetaNews: Earlier this year, we shared with you that a pre-release version of Kodi 18 “Leia” 64-bit for Windows was available. There was a big catch, however — it was not up to par with its 32-bit brother. And so, many people just stuck with the 32-bit version, because, well… why not? It is finally time to make the jump to the 64-bit variant, however, as according to the Kodi team, it is now identical to the 32-bit version from a feature perspective. “The 64-bit Kodi version for Windows is now feature complete and on the same level as 32-bit. From now on the 32-bit installer will include a warning to ask you to install the 64-bit instead. This upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit version is seamless and you just need to install on top of the old version, ” says Kodi.

Once herself a shut-in, Debra Childers now cooks up meals for people who are stuck at home due to illness or injury. Childers, a La Mesa resident, heads up Feeding the Flock, a project of the Kitchen Ministry at Rock Church East County.
When Childers walks into a room, she brightens up the place with her big blue eyes and warm laughter. She is always offering up something delicious like Cookie Gooey Bar, one of her newest creations.
In the kitchen, Childers is the master. A former executive chef, Childers used to work all day and into the night. All that stopped suddenly almost four years ago when diagnosed with Regional Sympathetic Disease, a nerve disorder after breaking her ankle.
Pain has been a constant for Childers for more than three years. But the worst part of her disease has always been the isolation.
“Most people don’t want to come and visit you if you’re a shut-in,” Childers said.
Due to what Childers said is a gift from God, she learned how to push back the grip of pain on her life. But she still grappled with restlessness. She wanted to use her talents and skills in service, rather than sit around watching Food Channel. For help on ideas, she talked with Rebecca Garcia, a friend and life coach. Together they looked at the possibilities.
Childers considered everything from beginning a catering business to making jams and jellies and selling them at farmers’ markets. But she knew that was not the answer. Garcia encouraged her to follow what her heart was telling her to do.
That was when Childers decided that she wanted to cook and bake for shut-ins. She definitely had the experience and for two years already she had been cooking for friends of hers who needed nourishment after a return from the hospital or a period of illness. Then a little over a month ago, Childers signed up with the Kitchen Ministry at the Rock Church East County that recently opened its doors in El Cajon. She was intrigued by the emphasis that the church places on getting involved in ministry and service.
“It was very clear when I met with Debra that she has a real passion for cooking and such an incredible heart for serving others. I love that she has found her calling,” Garcia said.
Now Childers is proving herself to be a true friend of those who cannot leave their home, cooking 32 meals for 17 shut-ins.
Each person receives two meals each week, providing enough food for two dinners and two lunches each. People receiving meals can give a donation of $15, but, anyone who needs a meal will not be turned away for a lack of money.
Associate Pastor Taylor Chapman at the Rock Church East County encourages Childers in her service work.
“We are excited that Debra has been a part of our church and is reaching out to other people in need. She is a true inspiration and joy to work with,” he said.
Although Childers is a professional, working from home in her own certified kitchen, she cannot carry out Feeding the Flock alone. She does not want it that way, either.
A friend of hers, Nancy Dice, has teamed up with her in this ministry. Dice does the majority of the cooking on one day, while Childers takes the other.
Dice said that it takes her nearly three hours just to deliver the meals.
Childers said that goes for cooking, delivery and any other ways people want to help.
Other needs are a dietician, volunteers to help package the meals, and access to a commercial kitchen.
For more information on Feeding the Flock, call 619-741-3765. | 2019-04-18T22:29:48 | https://eccalifornian.com/former-shut-in-finds-ministry-in-cooking-meals-for-the-home-bound-community/ |
After learning all about Groundhog's Day at school recently, Big Sister E was beyond thrilled when Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow and an early spring was declared.
Summer is going to be here soon! Mama, get my shorts out! It's going to be warm soon! And so on and so forth. I couldn't help but laugh at her innocent and enthusiastic optimism.
Unfortunately, as much as I wouldn't mind warmer weather to be here immediately as well, I'm realistic in knowing that we've still got quite a bit more winter to make it through before those shorts are really going to be needed. Which means more snow, more heated blankets, and more days of gazing out the window and wishing that we could just get out there and play without having to bundle up (and still freeze).
Fortunately, evenings and weekends indoors don't have to mean that we can't have any fun, especially now that we have added the excitement and suspense of Jenga Boom to our lives.
New to the Hasbro lineup, Jenga Boom is a twist on the classic Jenga by adding in the excitement and suspense of a ticking time bomb. As well as having to have the skill and concentration to pick out the perfect block to pull and stack on the top of the tower, you have to have speed and quick fingers to get it done before the blocks come tumbling down!
Considering I've always been a ran of the original Jenga, I was immediately interested in seeing the difference and fun that this modern version could provide.
Along with the 36 hardwood Jenga blocks, this game also comes complete with a stacking sleeve and a toy detonator, all of which easily come together into a tower in only a few quick steps.
When it's time to play, it simply takes pressing down the orange lever on the back of the platform to get it set, pulling the fuse cord all the way out, and pressing the "play" arrow on the timer at the start of your turn.
Then the race against the clock is on! Each player takes a turn strategically selecting a block to pull out, which is then stacked on the top of the tower as fast as possible. At the end of their turn, they press the "stop" button on the timer and play moves to the next person. The last person to place a block on top without the tower tumbling down is the winner!
Both Big Sister E and Little Sister B have had a great time carefully pulling their blocks from the Jenga tower and giggling as the whole thing slightly wobbles but continues standing.
In true Jenga form, not only will picking the wrong block put the entire tower off-balance, but if the seconds run out on the timer then the tower comes crumbling down as well!
Providing just as much entertainment, skill and strategy (and a bit of luck) as the original, this innovative game is a great addition to any game library. Designed for two or more players ages 6 and up, Jenga Boom has been an entertaining way to add some excitement and suspense to our game night, as we all get a good laugh out of racing the clock and showing off our balancing speed!
If you're ready for an explosion of fun in your home as well, Jenga Boom retails for $17.99 and can be purchased directly from Hasbro, on Amazon.com, in stores near you and more. You can also keep up with all things Game Night by connecting with Hasbro on Facebook and Twitter.
One lucky person will win Jenga Boom from Hasbro!
A big thank you to Hasbro for providing Jenga Boom for me to review as well as for one lucky giveaway winner. The opinions shared are my own and honest and if you really need to see more, click here to see how I roll.

Muxima was built on a Honda 650, it’s the name of a village in Angola and it means “heart” in Kimbundu.
Technically we’ve rebuilt a completely new sub-frame, that accommodates our seat, rear footpegs, a small rear light and number plate. Beneath the seat inserted in the sub-frame we’ve build an electric box to fit inside all the electric components and battery. Electric wiring was redone and simplified. A new gas tank was adapted to fit on this bike. We’ve built new exhausts, a new intake line, fitting a KN air filter in the end and new front mudguard. The suspensions were lowered a bit. We’ve fitted a new front headlight, new speedo, new handlebar, grips and tires. We’ve painted the fuel tank, air filter, engine and other frame parts. | 2019-04-22T10:39:20 | http://tonupgarage.com/index.php?route=bikes/bikes&bikes_id=26 |

On 29th June, The Sentinel’s Reign will be released into the world and I hope you will all help me celebrate the second book in the Silent Sea Chronicles.
I made the decision not to run a proper blog tour this time around. Last year it exhausted me and took the shine off the publication of The Lost Sentinel.
I do have a few guest posts, interviews and mini excerpts lined up over the coming weeks and hopefully a few reviews will be going up very soon as well. I hope to write an update post each day with links to the bloggers who’ve agreed to help promote my new release.
Rainne over at Rainne’s Ramblings has posted an exclusive look at the prologue of The Sentinel’s Reign.
And Ari Meghlen interviewed me on her blog today. It’s always fun answering questions about my writing journey. Please check out both these lovely ladies blogs.
That’s about it for today’s update.
I would love to get a few more pre-orders in and see The Sentinel’s Reign hit the kindle charts hard on release day, will you help me? You can pick it up at the bargain price of 99p, just follow the link here.
I can’t believe there are only 10 days to go before Book 2 in the Silent Sea Chronicles is published!
The Sentinel’s Reign is out on 29th June 2018 but you can pre-order it now for only 99p / 99c. The price will go up soon after publication, so why not ensure you get your copy for the bargain price. Order here.
At the moment I haven’t planned a blog tour, but if you are willing to post about The Sentinel’s Reign around the publication date, I would be very grateful. Please get in touch in the comments or on my contact form, or just re-blog and share. Thank you!
I am also looking for book bloggers who maybe interested in reviewing books 1 and 2 in the series. Again, please get in touch.
The Sentinel’s Reign is due out on 29th June 2018, but you can pre-order your copy here. It is book 2 in the heroic fantasy series Silent Sea Chronicles.
At present I don’t have plans to run a blog tour, but I would love as many bloggers as possible to post about The Sentinel’s Reign before, during and after its release. Please get in touch and I can send you the promotional bits beforehand.
I am also looking to send out ARC copies if anyone would like to review Book 2 in the series (books should be read in order, but please get in touch to discuss).
My last request for help is that I am tweaking the blurb, so I would love your help to make this really appealing to new readers.
With the new Sentinel initiated and the magic restored on Kalaya, the future is thriving for Tei and the exiles. But Rathnor’s plans for war soon escalate and thwart any chance of a peaceful life.
Brogan’s position on the Assembly becomes tenuous as rumours circulate that he is an exile spy.
Farrell is recovering from an attempt on his life and is more determined than ever for his people to build a home on Stone Haven. But the council have their sights set on Kalaya and Farrell struggles to steer them away from the temptation of war.
As trouble festers within and outside forces gather against them, can the exiles keep their hold on the magic, or will this spell the end of Kalaya and its people?
This is the second book in the Silent Sea Chronicles and should be read in order.
Thank you for your help. I will be running a belated paperback and e-book giveaway for Book 1 – The Lost Sentinel in the next few days so keep an eye out for news of that. | 2019-04-18T19:15:32 | https://suzannerogersonfantasyauthor.com/tag/the-sentinels-reign/page/2/ |

We all arrived at the Bovington Tank Museum with our faces pressed against the window, staring at all the incredible military vehicles surrounding the place. This happened as soon as we saw street signs warning of ‘Tanks Crossing’. We were lucky enough that when we got to our pitch, we were around 50 yards away from the line of Tanks which were parked up ready for the weekend’s displays. As much as it did distract us a little from getting set up, it was one of those things you get at Tankfest which you just don’t get at any other show.
The show itself was a sell out for the 2nd year running, and you could tell! The place was packed full of re-enactors and tank enthusiasts, who were treated to some fantastic displays. We spent all our time on the stall, so we didn’t get to see much of it ourselves. We were however treated to a couple of fantastic flyovers, including another opportunity to see a Spitfire in action. The sound of Tanks on the move was ever present, and we could feel the pyrotechnics from the battle finale from the traders field.
We met loads of great people as always across the weekend – traders and customers alike. It was great to chat to the guys from Aces High next door, who had some fantastic pieces of art on show (last year the boss treated himself to a great portrait of a Spitfire for the office!). The whole place had a great atmosphere and it was a pleasure to be there. There were loads of old faces at the stall as well, including many people who we met at last year’s Tankfest. A special mention goes out to Nick who popped along with some chocolate cake for us, which was a particular highlight of the weekend!
We had a great time at Tankfest as always, and look forward to heading back again next year. For now though our attention turns to the Yorkshire Wartime Experience, which kicks off in just over 2 weeks! | 2019-04-21T08:50:58 | http://blog.epicmilitaria.com/show-summary-tankfest/ |

As we live our lives on earth, God slowly and surely reveals himself to us. This is done through sufferings.
If we suffer according to God's will, we learn to be firm in our faith, trusting in God. As we develop this trust, God reveals himself more to us and we get to know God more.
Our goal in faith is salvation. The psalmist says, "The Lord is my light and my salvation". The goal of our faith therefore is God himself. To help us achieve this goal, we have to humble ourselves before him. We have to stand naked before the Lord - without the masks we have. This is what pleases the Lord and what we have to do.
The humility God requires of us is the same humility that Jesus showed in his life. Jesus humbled himself such that he totally disposed himself to the Father's will. And as we see, the Father did not abandon Jesus. On the contrary, although Jesus was rejected by the elders and the king, he is now exalted by the Father above all creation. This shows us that trusting God will only lead to God's plan for us. And his plan is far better than what we can ever hope for.
What God says is final - no one can challenge it.
So Peter exhorts us to live in obedience to God. When things seem dark and uncertain, the more we have to wait and trust in the Lord. If we dare to do things our way during these times, the result is certain - failure and more darkness.
The darkness that comes our way - in our walk in faith is actually God's way of teaching us to trust him and to surrender all things to him.
Trust comes from humility. When we realize our position before the Lord, we see ourselves as God sees us. This shows us that we are nothing and that God is everything. From this realization comes the desire to trust God. It is in trusting him that we can surrender to him. And it is only when we surrender to God that he reveals himself to us. Trusting is not a leap of faith. There is no such thing as blind faith for a Christian because although a Christian does not see the future, he sees the person he trusts - Jesus Christ.
The key verse therefore of this letter is: "Humble yourself under God's mighty hand that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxieties upon him because he cares for you."
Let us therefore pray to the Lord that we may have to grace to humble ourselves before him - so that we can get to know him more. | 2019-04-24T09:55:21 | http://pyuson.tripod.com/Book1/HumbleYourself.html |
After 20 years, Peak to Peak Music Education Association has announced it will no longer hold the annual music festival in Nederland because of a lack of space in Barker Meadows Park as the town redevelops the area to include new bathrooms, a community greenhouse and a bike pump track.
"It was an exceptionally difficult decision to make, but we felt that land use decisions made by the Nederland Board of Trustees and town administration have rendered the ball field unusable," the association's board of directors wrote in a letter announcing NedFest's cancellation.
In addition to the development plans — which the Peak to Peak board noted it supported but was disappointed did not include space for an amphitheater — the town began to lease the park to Eldora Mountain Resort for use as an overflow parking lot in the winter, destroying the grass and causing dust storms during last year's festival.
While part of the $46,000 Eldora paid to lease the land was designated for re-seeding the grass, Kristen McFarland, the association's board secretary, said the ground was so densely packed beneath the weight of cars it would be nearly impossible to grow grass in advance of the festival, which is held in late August.
Rob Savoye, president of the board, said the association looked at potentially making the festival smaller or moving it somewhere else, but that the financials of doing so simply didn't work.
"Most of our overhead costs are fairly fixed and aren't that different if we have 800 or 2,000 (people)," the board said in a written statement. "Before we pay a single penny to a musician our daily cost is about $23,000, so we need to have a big enough audience and known artists that people will pay $60 to see in order to cover our costs. Contrary to popular opinion, NedFest doesn't make any money and no one gets paid except the musicians and production crew. The losses are covered by sponsors and board members and credit cards."
Kristopher Larson, Nederland mayor, said Nederland Board of Trustees is trying to work with the Peak to Peak to keep the musical tradition and economic boost that was NedFest alive, even offering to waive the permitting fees and alter development plans, but Savoye said it doesn't matter, NedFest is not coming back.
"It's time for somebody else to form a new organization and start their own thing," he said. "It was a really painful, difficult decision, but in some ways, it's kind of nice to be done. It will be nice to go to a festival where someone else does all the organizing."
"Don't despair," the board added. "The music will never die in Nederland!" | 2019-04-18T20:50:31 | http://www.dailycamera.com/entertainment/ci_32429371/nedfest-calls-it-quits |

Set scene: bundled up in your favorite onesie on a ridiculously comfy couch with a blazing fire to keep you warm – surrounded by family and loved ones. There’s nothing like a good holiday movie especially on those cold winter nights. Deciding what to watch should be the easiest part of your night (we all know it’s not) – enter – MovieGrade. After rating a few movies, the app helps suggest what to watch (in theaters and on demand).
The Holiday– While cuddled in blankets in front of a fire, dreaming of eggnog and presents, you wont find a holiday romance that makes you feel happier.
Love Actually – Pretty sure that it’s a law of the holiday season that one must watch Love Actually at least once.
Home Alone – Kevin McCallister basically lives out all childhood fantasies in this ’90s classic.
The Nightmare Before Christmas – It’s a perfect watch when all the other holiday movies are just a bit too holly jolly.
Elf – All things considered, Elf is the perfect feel good holiday movie. | 2019-04-21T12:12:26 | http://demo9.berardidesign.com/2016/11/ |
It Was 50 Years Ago Today: 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' Hit U.S. : The Two-Way Listen to a clip. We can almost guarantee it will raise a smile. I Want To Hold Your Hand is the song that kicked off Beatlemania in the U.S.
Paul McCartney, left, and John Lennon during a November 1963 Beatles show in London. The next month, the band had its first big hit in the U.S. and Beatlemania started to sweep America.
If you don't smile after clicking "play" on the box above ... well, then either we're too old or you're too young.
It was 50 years ago today, Kabir Bhatia from member station WKSU in Cleveland reminds our Newscast Desk, that Capitol Records released the Beatles' I Want To Hold Your Hand in the U.S.
The fab four, as he says, had "sold millions of records in Europe throughout 1963, but had flopped in the U.S. after several releases on small, regional labels."
Then came I Want To Hold Your Hand.
Capitol, according to Penn State Beatles authority Kenneth Womack, had planned to release the song in early 1964. But "Carroll James, a Washington, D.C., deejay began playing a U.K. import of I Want to Hold Your Hand on WWDC radio. Faced with unprecedented public demand, Capitol released the single ahead of schedule in late December."
This was back in the day, of course, when songs were put on vinyl.
By the time the band made its famous first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show on Feb. 9, 1964, I Want To Hold Your Hand was "in the midst of a seven-week run at No. 1," he adds. More than 2 million copies of the single had been sold in the U.S. and it was still flying off shelves.
We hope you enjoy the clip, and perhaps dig out that old single for a fresh listen. | 2019-04-25T23:08:31 | https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2013/12/26/257363103/it-was-50-years-ago-today-i-want-to-hold-your-hand-hits-u-s?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=beatles |

Zombies vs Cheerleaders is a sport slot by real-time Gaming. It is one of many commonly played and favourite slot machines games with a zombie theme. A few other games on this theme include the Plants vs Zombie slot as well as also the Zombie Outbreak slot machine. Zombies vs Cheerleaders comes with a bonus round in which you select whether you would like to be the zombies or the cheerleaders. All wins the cover right to left and left to right. There are 25 cover lines.
The sport is a follow up to Actual Time Gaming’s favourite Zombies vs Cheerleaders slot machine game, which has been motivated by many movies featuring zombies or even cheerleaders, and 1 or two non-slot games.
Both particular tiles from the game would be the zombie as well as the Zombies-vs-Cheerleaders emblem. The emblem is the scatter symbol of that the game, if 3, 2, 4, or 5 symbols look and 2X is paid out by it. If 3, 4, or 5 of those scatters show up on display the bonus match is triggered. The zombie would be your emblem that is WILD, and it succeeds to all symbols except that the scatters. Every time some triumph is contributed to by a WILD symbol the potential win is compensated. There is a zombie with a baseball cap, a zombie with black hair, and other unique tiles: a cheerleader, a cheerleader. Any 3, 4, or 5 mix of those tiles (independently, not collectively ) pays from 50 to 1000 times your wager. The zombies are paid then by the cheerleaders. The rest of the symbols from the sport will be the conventional”card deck” personalities: 9, 10, J, Q, K, A. The Ace payments are most as much as 250 times your wager on wins.
If you win the bonus game, you’re prompted to select between two choices: Zombies Gone Wild and Cheerleader Escape. Cheerleader Escape presents three doorways to you and asks you to locate the exit. You need to open three doors, searching for the exit. Each depart takes you to some degree that is greater. You may play up to 6 degrees. About the level, you will acquire a multiplier. You continue through the school rooms that are damn before a zombie grabs you and comes out. The zombie may seem scary at any moment. Zombies going to win awards with his many spins. When a WILD emblem is turned up alongside by a Cheerleader tile, her tile gets too. Get five WILD symbols, and you score 1000 times your wager. The spins may be retriggered, giving you the next 5 spins. The game offers a jackpot that is arbitrary. It could be provided on any twist. You don’t know although it resembles a jackpot for this author don’t anticipate a win. It may roll up in the tens of thousands on several variations of this match.
The user interface for this particular game is standard. Control buttons are installed across the bottom of the play screen. You’ve AUTO PLAY on the far left, followed closely by VALUE (that permits you to specify just how now you bet per line), LINES (that lets you alter the number of pay lines you wager on each spin), MAX LINES (which resets your lineup options quickly), and SPIN. After the reels have begun turning the SPIN button becomes a STOP button, and you’re able to disrupt the reels. This attribute is designed primarily for if the much right reels enter”turbo” mode. You find the reels that are proper rate up if three or two scatter symbols appear on the left side of this display. The notion is that you can disrupt them”in just the ideal moment” to activate a scatter (bonus) game. The reels can be interrupted whenever by you that the STOP tag appears. You may grab emblem or a scatter as it rolls but before the turbo twist kicks in, of tripping a bonus match, the odds appear tiny.
Clicking on AUTO brings up a dialogue box which permits you to place your automobile spin game’s requirements. You select wager per line at the half and winnumber of twists lines. There are two choices for STOP CONDITIONS, so you don’t unintentionally play all of your cash. We don’t know of any cheats for this game. However, we do understand you could play with this or at a version on your internet browser.
Vs Cheerleaders is a game with an intriguing bonus feature. It is not as engaging as a number of the popular slots games such as Immortal Romance or Game of Thrones. However, it will offer you a bit of variety. Then this may be a sport if you played Zombie Outbreak slots or Plants vs Zombie slots. | 2019-04-22T20:39:33 | http://pokiesportal.com/game/zombies-versus-cheerleaders/ |

A sheath wedding dress is the perfect style for the bride seeking a classic romantic look for her wedding but a simpler silhouette.
The soft, flowing skirt is fitted yet falls loosely over the body. Sheath dresses are usually crafted from lightweight fabrics like tulle, crêpe cady and satin, which drape beautifully and caress the body.
Though neither form-fitting or overly delicate, the sheath wedding dress still offers multiple style options.
Our sheath dress collection includes ball gown silhouettes as well as empire styles, but all taking as their style point of reference a loose fit evoking lightness.
With or without straps, a heavily adorned bodice, or with minimal embellishment: there is a sheath dress to suit every bride’s individual taste and style.
The collection also includes some truly innovative styles, such as the topcoat-inspired jumpsuit design crafted from lightest matt organza, adorned and embellished at the waist with delicate embroidery detail creating the illusion of a sash.
Finally, not forgetting the tulle and lace ruffle design, open at the front so as to grant a glimpse of the shorts underneath, for the youthful, unconventional bride. | 2019-04-26T14:42:08 | https://www.atelier-eme.it/en/collezione/collection/sheath/ |
Lift and pallet trucks in Sysco’s new 585,000-square-foot foodservice distribution center (DC) in Houston will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
Sysco’s 72 pallet trucks and 26 lift trucks will use Plug Power GenDrive fuel-cell units. The DC will be Sysco’s first greenfield site to operate without a battery infrastructure.
Sysco says the fuel cells will extend equipment runtimes and eliminate the need to dispose of lead-acid batteries. Liquid hydrogen fuel will be delivered to the facility, converted into gas and then dispensed with two hydrogen fuel pumps located in the DC.
The hydrogen fuel cell project was made possible in part by a grant provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. | 2019-04-19T16:32:49 | https://www.mhlnews.com/archive/fuel-cells-power-material-handling-fleet-new-sysco-dc |

Whew. I’ve had a few bad days in the kitchen.
I’ll spare you photographs of the disasters. I’ve been thinking about each and every one, however. And each failure reinforced my intention to write recipes that work.
You see, each of these, um, challenges in the kitchen was about the quality of the recipe, I’m sure of it.
I tried making macarons from a recipe found at a very reputable site. There were technique suggestions I’d never seen before. I made the recipe three times. The first time, clearly the baking time was wrong as they were deeply brown two minutes before they were even supposed to be done. The second attempt produced flat, no-feet cookies from the outset. The third time, the cookies formed and some even made little feet, but the tops cracked and collapsed on themselves. I even omitted duck egg whites because I wondered if they had some sort of different chemistry. There’s something wrong with the recipe. The ratio is different than other macaron recipes so I should have known, right? I’m just going back to what worked. And I’m going back annoyed.
And this was not the only failure. I began to worry I’d lost my mojo. as I was throwing food away and muttering under my breath. Thinking about my own recipes. Generally, I’ve tested a recipe three or four times before I publish it, but will admit to also enthusiastically blogging a recipe that I’ve just made up, served for dinner, liked a lot, and wanted to share. I hope in either instance, the recipe will work for you. And please, won’t you let me know if something doesn’t work, or – especially – if you’ve made an improvement?
Kim and I are working on a book proposal. I’m writing and testing recipes all the time now, and trying to develop some sort of consistent way to communicate the information. This great piece of advice from JustCookNYC has me more conscious of the way I provide the information, write the instructions, and use photographs to explain technique.
Here’s what I know for sure – I don’t want to disappoint any of you.
On an up note, this weekend I did try some wonderful recipes, linked below, with my tweaks. These were wonderfully written and the results were perfectly delicious.
In the food processor, blitz all the herbs, garlic and oils.
In a large bowl, combine the lamb with the herb mixture, massaging the marinade into the meat.
Heat the gas grill to medium high. Allow it to heat up to 425° – about 20 minutes on my grill.
Work quickly using your asbestos hands and long tongs.
Place the lamb pieces on the grill, turn the heat down to medium and close the lid.
Prepare foil to be used to rest the meat after grilling. You want two large pieces of foil at the ready.
Grill for seven minutes. Turn the meat – if it sticks, stop trying to turn it, close the lid, and cook two minutes longer. When the meat is ready to be turned, it will release easily.
Grill for another 5-7 minutes on the second side and remove from the grill. There should be pretty grill marks on both sides. Pretty grill marks only happen when you don’t mess with the meat.
Rest the meat for 10 minutes.
My tweaks – due to the appearance of spring chives in the garden and the last of a jar of garlic confit – I made a composed butter of chive, butter, salt and garlic confit, chilled it well, then placed a fat pat of buttery goodness over the top of the oil drizzled, salted and peppered, fan-cut potatoes. These spuds were amazing. Seriously, totally, utterly, knock me over with a feather fantastic. It takes only 45 minutes, so it’s a great weeknight idea to fancy up dinner.
I mixed together olive oil, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt and pepper and poured this concoction over stemmed, trimmed artichokes. Roasted at 425° for 45 minutes (right along side the potatoes.) Once opened up, the interior heart and leaves were tender and exceptionally flavorful.
I used this curd to fill the not-so-pretty macarons. And today, I plan to use the rest of it for a similar shortbread cookie.
You never disappoint. Things don’t always come out the same for everyone. Your lamb looks really good! You can cook for me even when you think your mojo is gone. I know it isn’t.
Oh my goodness. I go through these phases where nothing I do in the kitchen turns out well at all. I just went through one where even my chicken picatta (one of my best dishes!) didn’t come out quite right. It really messes with me when that happens. I get all wobbly and unsure of myself when I am off my game in the kitchen. I finally redeemed myself this weekend by making 25 lbs. of yummy Italian meatballs and some good, homemade spaghetti sauce from my grandmother’s recipe. Your mojo isn’t gone, it’s just taking a short break and will be right back.
PS – The recipe for roasted artichokes has me hungry for some at 9:30 in the morning!
I hope you try those artichokes. I can’t stop thinking about them!
I’d like my mojo back as well if you find it searching for yours. Vacation has completely stolen mine away. I’ve always found no matter how much I test a recipe, sometimes it will always vary from kitchen to kitchen. I love getting feedback though from people who have tried it, it helps me improve what I’m doing!
I had the same problem with the baked beans, using old beans. Also I used a cast iron pan, and they taste a little metalic after the long period of time in the pan. So not an unmitigated success. But they were both issues I could have anticipated with a little thought . . .
My mojo and my blog I want back. My blog has disappeared…It was kidnapped and I cannot get it back either from google not blogspot. I have lost 13 months of posts and all my followers. I am now working on my new with WordPress and should be back in full swing by mid May…I really enjoy your posts…..
Thanks, Norma. What a collosal pain in the neck! Hope your WP blog goes well. I’ve been really happy since switching over.
Otherwise known as hedgehog potatoes–love those!
Thos e beans were terrific and I will make them agian no matter how long!
It is the acid–I did a bunch of reserach this weekend and here’s the best expanation I have found: DON’T ADD SALT TO THE WATER! Adding salt or any acid (like tomatoes or vinegar) to beans hardens their skins and prevents them from cooking properly. In most instances, it’s best to add salt AFTER the beans are almost entirely cooked.
2. When pressure cooking soups, adding a small amount of tomatoes or using a lightly salted stock may lengthen cooking time slightly, but does not prevent the beans from softening.
The fact that you test, and test agian and ask othjers to test is a testament to your dedication to this art we all love.
Amazing information! Thank you Sharon.
I’ll echo what Janis said, “Things don’t always come out the same for everyone.” Recipes, the writing and in some cases the using, is ridiculously hard sometimes. It drives me nuts when I spend all day making something “difficult” and it’s not that great. Then other days I throw something together without much rhyme or reason and Brenda tells me it’s one of the best things I’ve ever made (and then I wonder if I can repeat it!).
I suppose it comes down to YMMV: your mojo may vary.
Ha! YMMV. I’m going to use that.
Thanks for the tater love, Cathy. And I’d like to echo that beans are always tricky little beasts, but despite the protracted cooking time, they were outstanding. I will definitely make them again… (although I may add the tomato portion of the program in after the beans have had a bit of time to tenderize in the oven already.) The flavours, though, were so outstanding that every second of those 9 hours was worth it!!! Make the beans folks!
My husband grows dried beans for a living. There have been many times we have held them in storage for over 18 months for the price to go up…so by the time they hit the shelves they can be 2 years old. I learned the hard way. I used freshly harvested dry beans in a recipe…soaked overnight and then cooked the H_ll out of them: MUSH. I also don’t cook with tomatoes or salt until AFTER they are cooked through and soft.
Really great information. I think the next time, I’ll let the beans cook nearly all the way through before adding the tomatoes (as Rebecca suggested.) We eat so many beans – at least twice a week – and I love learning all these tips.
This remind me of the time at Soupergirl when we were making a bean soup. Three of the pots were done at the regular time. The beans in the fourth pot never got soft – NEVER. After four hours of extra cooking they still weren’t done. We ended up pureeing the fourth pot and mixing all of them together. So sometimes it’s not the recipe that’s wrong, it’s the beans.
That’s so exciting that you’re working on a book proposal! Good luck!
Oh my gosh Cathy. You have no idea how timely this is for me. After two years of blogging and only positive comments up until this point, I got two negative comments last week about my recipes (not the same one). And it really bummed me out… I feel like I ruined someone’s meal because the recipe of mine they made did not turn out as planned 🙁 I am feeling just like you- that I need to be super careful about recipe writing and testing…I really want my recipes to work every time. I’m pretty sure your mojo will be back very soon, and I hope mine is, too!
Macarons are fickle fickle things! Also humidity & air pressure have some funny effects on them. Even with the best recipe, it’s possible to get less than desirable results. I think it took me 6 tries before I got a decent looking macaron. Did you use French or Italian method? We should get together and have a macaron baking party! Your roasted hasselback potatoes look gorgeous!
I’ve had a lot of luck with macarons…. the recipe I tried cut a lot of corners – no aging of the egg whites, etc… and I think it just didn’t work. I’m going back to my favorite recipe and sticking with it! And yes, let’s make ’em together some day! How fun would that be?
I am neither a food blogger nor a recipe writer. Instead, I am an avid recipe hunter and blog & cookbook reader, someone who cooks and/or bakes nearly every day, and I like to try both easy and complex ideas—in other words, the target market for recipe writers. The list from Justcook NYC is fantastic. To number (6), I would add a reference to any unusual cooking tools needed as well.
(1) Know the target audience. If a writer wants a novice cook to be able to understand a recipe, it needs to be presented that way. I liken it to college literature courses: everyone can take a 100-level course, participate in the discussion, and write an excellent paper; a more advanced student might deliver a more sophisticated paper or presentation, but a first-year student can still be a success. in a 500-level course, one that relies on an existing understanding of the subject matter, only a more advanced student can be successful. Both courses are terrific, they are just different in nature. The same with cookbooks.
(2) Introduce the recipe. I love a recipe introduction in cookbooks. Set the mood. Tell me what to expect, both in terms of preparation time and expected result. Give me ideas about when or how to enjoy the dish. Share a story. Draw me in to the recipes with a short note, and I am much more likely to keep going back to the cookbook, and subsequent books from the author.
(3) Separate each step. The best recipes, simple or complex, separate the steps. I am amazed at how many recipe authors group steps together; I understand that the author, someone who has made the recipe many times, likely thinks of many steps as one concept and therefore groups them together. But for someone following a recipe for the first time, each step is a discreet activity, and grouping them together as one makes it much more likely that we will miss something, or just assures that we have to check the recipe so many times that it becomes frustrating.
(4) Check for accuracy. Again, this one seems simple, but recipe writers should check that the measurements provided in the ingredient list match the amounts included in the recipe below.
(5) Have recipes tested by someone outside of the author’s immediate circle. This one is not all that important for blogs, which can be adjusted anytime, but for a published book, it is always very easy to tell which authors have had other people test the recipes, and which recipes were only made by the author or similar folks before publication. Never assume that other people will understand the steps.
Very excited for the book (which I am sure will be published)—and I am already thinking of the fantastic signings you are sure to have, hopefully including at Politics & Prose!
Sarah, Thank you for this really helpful comment. I hope when we next see eachother at Whole Foods, we’ll have time for a coffee. Clearly, I need to pick your brain!
Disaster happened to me & my hot cross buns or rather rock cross buns! Sadly though I am sure that was me rather than the recipe! | 2019-04-24T21:52:13 | https://www.cathybarrow.com/2011/04/have-you-seen-my-mojo/ |
It looks like the iWatch release date has definitely been postponed, with new reports suggesting Q4 as the likely bet for Apple's wearable launch.
The originally estimates were apparently based on the idea that Apple's mystery smartwatch would enter mass production during Q3, but this didn't happen.
"Instead, TPK now expects a conisderable increase in profits throughout Q4 2014, which hints that the iWatch will enter mass production within the aforementioned time-frame, as opposed to Q3," reads the GForGames article.
TPK are speculated to be providing 'nano silver touch' screens made of sapphire crystal, said to measure 1.8-in, which Apple will use in its flagship wearable.
Check out our iWatch rumours round-up for the latest on Apple's upcoming smartwatch. | 2019-04-20T19:17:54 | https://www.t3.com/news/apples-iwatch-release-date-definitely-pushed-back |
These pictures showed up in my in box yesterday thanks to a couple of twisted friends. Providentially, it became an edifying email.
Because it motivates me to study, practice and teach (like Ezra–7.10). It motivates me to invest time in people that they might be impressed with Jesus and not tolerate clown shoes in a pulpit, fried dough in a communion tray, or a circus in the blood bought church of the Savior.
This type of display only makes sense when God is emasculated; having been stripped of his holiness, justice, knowledge, power, and goodness only to be carved into a caricature of himself complete with a squeaky nose and irritating mannerisms. They are merely reflecting the god they have carved. Their god is a joke so they can worship him in clown clothes. This is sad.
If God has impotent and lacks authority then why worship him, why fear him, why submit to him? Why not mock him? This only makes sense.
So friends in Jesus, know that if not for the grace of God so affecting your own heart, you would be going to this church-circus…or worse, you could be leading it! | 2019-04-20T20:49:09 | https://asahel.wordpress.com/category/church/ |

International Children's Day is celebrated on Wednesday with the Golf Russian President’s Cup taking to the course for the 16th time to raise money for kids’ charities. RT joined up with the competitors at Le Meridien Golf club in the Moscow Region.
It is hard to call it a contest, as few people care how far you can hit the ball, with taking part rather than winning at the top of the agenda.
The event is aimed at helping children in need. That particular mission has been successfully implemented since 1996. This time a record $180,000 was raised.
“The tournament is well-known for its charity traditions. Many Moscow Region schools were equipped with computers previously. And of course a lot of money is raised every year to help children's hospitals and other associations,” explains golf pro Andrey Novoselov.
Despite there being no pro golfers on the list, it still remains an interesting competition, with the teams featuring local businessmen and ambassadors, no less, and with a youngster who developed their skills through the youth system of the club in each side.
Thus another vital aim is fulfilled – more children taking to the greens, meaning the up-and-coming golf talents will get to shine on courses in the near future.
But for now it is about getting proper medical treatment, which is the real victory of the annual tournament. | 2019-04-25T20:23:38 | https://www.rt.com/sport/golf-cup-record-children/ |
A survey in Kigali, Rwanda, suggests that mobiles are allowing microentrepreneurs to develop new business contacts. The results detail the impact of mobile ownership on the social networks of microentrepreneurs in lowteledensity areas, focusing on the evolving mix of business and personal calls made by users. The study differentiates between the contacts amplified through mobile ownership (friends and family ties) and those enabled by mobile ownership (new business ties). The article discusses applicability of the results to settings beyond Rwanda. | 2019-04-20T04:50:33 | https://itidjournal.org/index.php/itid/article/view/221 |
Medford Friends Church is a Christ-centered, bible based church where every person is free to minister. We are part of the Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends Churches, which includes over 60 evangelical churches throughout the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho.The Friends Church began in England in 1647 as George Fox and many others who were spiritually unfulfilled by the empty ritualism of the church of their day sought a personal relationship with God. Jesus Christ spoke to their hearts and met their need and with that the Friends Movement began. Today, over 350 years later, it is still our goal and purpose to live in a growing personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. It is our desire to grow in knowledge and faith as we live in the power of the Holy Spirit. We accept Jesus’ call to share the Gospel as we read in Matthew 28:16-20 and to fulfill that call, we seek to share Jesus in our community and in the world. Along with other Friends churches in the Northwest we are planting new churches in communities where God is opening the door and we support mission fields in North Africa, Russia, Latin American, South America, Africa, Asia, India, Nepal and Eastern Europe, among other places in the world. We’re excited about the powerful ways God is moving and transforming lives through Jesus!
Medford Friends Church began in 1942 and we’ve been at our current location in north Medford since 1945. It is our desire to worship God and to live in His love, power and truth through a meaningful and life transforming personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Our Sunday morning worship service meets at 9:30 a.m. and includes a blend of traditional and contemporary music, a time of waiting on the Lord, and a time of study in God’s word. At that hour there are separate activities for nursery age through third children. Following the worship service there is a time of fellowship with our coffee shop open for refreshments. At 11:00 a.m. we have Sunday School classes for the children and Bible studies for youth and adults. On Wednesday nights we share a simple meal at 6:00 p.m., followed by activities and studies for children, youth and adults.
Medford Friends Church is a loving group of people who desires to know and grow in Jesus and to share His love, truth, grace and power. If you are looking for a church home we invite you to join us for a service or two to see if Medford Friends is right for you. For more suggestions on finding a church home please click on the “Find a Church” tab. If you have any questions you may call us at 541-772-6926. | 2019-04-20T20:24:32 | http://medfordfriendschurch.org/wp/about/ |

WENN Digital has partnered with Oak View Group (OVG) to bring the KodakOne platform and KodakCoin token to six OVG Arena Alliance venues, including four NBA teams and two NHL teams.
In January of this year, photography giant Kodak announced its partnership with WENN Digital to create the KodakOne platform and KodakCoin, the token that will drive the platform. KodakOne is an encrypted, digital ledger of rights ownership for photographers to register both new and archive work that they can then license within the platform. The platform uses a “web-crawling” technology to detect unlicensed use of images in the KodakOne blockchain and ensure that photographers are appropriately rewarded.
Oak View Group was founded in 2015 by Tim Leiweke and Irving Azoff to be a positive disruption in sports and entertainment and currently has over 200 employees across offices in Los Angeles and New York. The company’s OVG Arena Alliance is a membership alliance of world-class venues reaching over 65 million consumers each year combined across major cities in North America.
WENN’s partnership with OVG will enable the KodakOne platform to expand its reach to over 10 million fans each year, and enable them to upload, register and protect their in-venue photos and videos via KodakOne’s blockchain technology. The participating OVG arenas and teams include: San Antonio Spurs’ AT&T Center, Indiana Pacers’ Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Sacramento Kings’ Golden 1 Center, Minnesota Wild’s Xcel Energy Center, New Jersey Devils’ Prudential Center and Phoenix Suns’ Talking Stick Resort Arena.
The six arenas will collaborate with WENN Digital to build a platform that allows fans to use KodakCoin for an array of in-venue transactions and promotions. Each venue will promote the use of the platform and token by developing a number of arena and product promotions for attendees. In addition, the arenas will also collaborate with WENN Digital to register their own video and photo content to be protected on the KodakOne platform.
Jan Denecke, CEO of WENN Digital, said that the partnership is aimed at introducing the KodakOne platform to a creative audience that they believe will both benefit from its functionality and serve as early adopters. | 2019-04-25T23:59:52 | https://blocktribune.com/blockchain-image-sharing-coming-to-nba-and-nhl-with-kodakone-and-oak-view-group-partnership/ |

Every exhibitor is invited to light up their MOC! World Of Lights is a period of utter darkness (or as much darkness as the venue's emergency lighting will permit) where lighted MOCs take center stage. It's a beautiful and cerebral event to behold.
Any MOC can be lighted. There are no rules or guidelines. A simple row of streetlights is very nice. Or a working train engine headlight blazing the tracks ahead. Or a glowing UFO hovering above. The night's the limit!
Modular Friends Bakery by Jon Lazar is the perfect example of basic indoor lighting done well for great effect.
MicroGARCs by Simon Liu uses blacklights (and his own black canopy to ensure darkness) to make his Space display glow in the night.
User Review: Integrate very well into LEGO, and have beautiful, professional website and packaging. The flickering gas light effect is awesome.
User Review: The better-priced system with good explanations of how things work. Sells convenient starter kit. | 2019-04-23T21:50:47 | https://www.brickfair.com/WOL/ |

Roof Inspection Guys in Hunt Valley, MD Roofing inspectors are going to do more than climb up on top of the house to look at the tiles. We'll provide a detailed report on the condition of the roof, including the roofing material, the flashing around the vents, chimneys, ridges, drip edges and caps. We'll also provide the homeowner with a report on the roof drainage, including the gutters and downspouts.
If it is determined that repairs are necessary, Roof Inspection Guys in Hunt Valley, MD will need to complete a Roof Inspection before a roof certification is issued. If repairs aren't necessary, our roofing inspector will provide an estimate of how much longer the roof will last and a certification will be issued. Roofing certifications are typically good for up to five years, but it may differ from one area of the roof to another.
Roof Inspection Guys in Hunt Valley, MD know although much emphasis is placed on the need for a Roof Inspection from a buyer's perspective, it is also a good idea for a homeowner to consider having a Roof Inspection completed before selling their home. If a homeowner can provide a current inspection and certification to potential buyers, it will help to put their mind at ease and make them feel comfortable before purchasing a home. If a homeowner doesn't provide potential buyers with a Roof Inspection, they'll simply order one on their own and make it a contingency of contract. | 2019-04-22T12:35:59 | http://www.roofinspectionguys.com/md/roof-inspection-in-hunt-valley/ |
If you're looking to help yourself or someone you love struggling with substance addiction in Woodland, CA, Rehabs.com provides a sizable Internet database of private executive centers, as well as an array of alternatives. We can help you find drug and alcohol treatment clinics for a variety of drug addictions to crack cocaine, Suboxone, alcohol or any addictive substance. Search for a highly-rated rehab center in Woodland now, and get started on the road to recovery.
Achieving sobriety from Vicodin, Duramorph, alcohol or any other substance you or your loved one is addicted to takes an individualized treatment plan. Two options of addiction treatment centers in Woodland can help you succeed: either Residential or Out-patient Rehabilitation. Inpatient treatment offers long-run benefits with extended stays in an excellent rehabilitation facility. Outpatient plans may be convenient, but lack the stability and resources of 30-day programs to get free from drugs. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and we are here to help you find the best option.
Separating yourself from the environment of the substance abuse can help remove diversions and temptations that prevent total recovery. When viewing rehab as a therapeutic retreat, addicts will find private executive clinics in cities outside of Woodland, California. Offering high-end hotel-like features, the best-rated facilities help achieve a physical, mental and emotional recovery. However, those looking for outpatient treatments may find a program in close proximity to your residence is a less difficult decision.
Originally named "Yolo City," Woodland is the county seat of Yolo County, which is located less than 20 miles from the state capital of Sacramento. Comparing Woodland addiction treatment programs can be a daunting project, especially when you're going through withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. The program you choose should give you a full set of tools to cope with the side effects of withdrawal.
What's Involved in Withdrawal Therapy?
How do you know that you've chosen the right approach to rehab? Don't be afraid to ask for information, suggestions and support from a knowledgeable addiction professional. In the first weeks of recovery, you may feel uncertain about the future and wonder whether you made the correct decision in going to rehab. But as time goes on and you become more confident in your sobriety, you may begin to enjoy life in Woodland more than ever.
Call us to start the process of building the sober life you really want.
A dual-diagnosis refers to a person who is simultaneously battling a substance abuse issue and a behavioral or mental issue. For instance, an addiction to Adderall or Ambien combined with compulsive shopping or anger management issues. In these cases, a residential rehab center becomes almost a necessity, incorporating quality inpatient treatment with group support, such as one might see in Alcoholics Anonymous. Luxury drug rehabs in Woodland, California will provide the latest treatment with upscale amenities for anyone requiring the very best drug treatment, just as Woodland alcohol rehab centers will help those battling alcohol addiction to achieve sobriety.
Note About Insurance for Addiction Treatment: Aetna, MVP Health Care and First Care usually cover at least a portion of your inpatient stay, and you can find out more about your own coverage or benefits here. | 2019-04-22T18:27:48 | https://www.rehabs.com/local/woodland-ca/ |

A heavy ball is attached to a string and swung in a circular path in a horizontal plane as shown in the animation. At the point indicated the string suddenly breaks at the ball. Four animations represent possible results when the string breaks at point P.
Which of the four animations properly represents the path of the ball if the string breaks at point P?
Reference: See Giancoli-PA: 5-1, Giancoli-SE: 3-8.
Answer: Animation B, the ball moves tangent to the circle at point P (not shown). This problem is an excellent warm up for the discussion of uniform circular motion. Students often have a hard time with the cause of uniform circular motion. Here, the string is the cause of the ball's acceleration towards the center of the circle. In fact, without it, there is no longer an acceleration and the ball continues at a constant velocity which is tangent to the circle at point P. Students will often laugh at animations such as Animation D, even though they will answer this question incorrectly (choosing this answer) on the FCI. | 2019-04-21T22:17:09 | https://webphysics.davidson.edu/physletprob/ch7_in_class/in_class7_1/mechanics7_1_2.html |
In a mixing bowl, combine all the olive salad ingredients. Transfer to an airtight container and let the salad rest for at least an hour, or refrigerate overnight.
To assemble, slice the loaf in half. Spread half the olive salad over each half, pressing the salad onto the bread with the back of a spoon.
Over the bottom half, create layers of meats and cheeses, slightly overlapping the slices to fully cover the surface of the bread at each layer. Cover with the top half of the bread, then wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap.
Let the sandwich sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, turning it over halfway.
To serve, unwrap the sandwich and cut it into slices. The sandwich can also be refrigerated overnight. Return to room temperature an hour before serving. | 2019-04-24T12:04:10 | https://www.saputo.ca/en/Recipes/Classic-Muffuletta-Sandwich |
Thyme oil isn't just used as a flavoring ingredient in cooking, but for medicinal purposes that are sure to be of help to you. Let's take a look at the many ways of how thyme oil can battle certain illnesses.
Thyme oil is an essential oil that is also used in aromatherapy sessions, significantly relaxing one in mind and body. This kind of oil comes in two variants―sweet and red thyme oil.
Thyme oil is extracted from the plant Thymus vulgaris. It is taken from the flowers and leaves of the plant by a process known as steam distillation. Light or sweet thyme oil is a product of double distillation, whereas red, is obtained from crude distillation.
The Greeks used thyme as incense besides adding it to their bath. The Romans too were fond of the strong herb, using it as an enriching ingredient to bring out the taste of wine and cheese. The following benefits will reveal the effectual properties of this oil.
It is an active ingredient in not just toothpastes and cosmetics, but mouthwashes too. Gargling with a thyme-infused mouthwash helps to control the presence of plaque, and treats oral conditions like gingivitis and tooth decay.
It works favorably for those who have nail fungus, where Candida is to blame for the infection. While other methods will prove to be a tad expensive when treating it, using thyme oil after consulting with a doctor, is a fairly better treatment option.
The element thymol present in the oil, acts an antiviral agent that can suppress the symptoms of a cough or cold. Mixing a few drops of the oil in hot water and inhaling its steam, will help clear one's nasal and throat passages.
Thyme oil acts as a cicatrisant and can clear up blemishes, spots, and scars.
It can help fend off ear infections, whether fungal or bacterial.
It acts as a diuretic, thus increasing urine flow.
Because it is antispasmodic in nature, it can help alleviate cramps or spasms by relaxing one's muscles.
It acts as a stimulant for those who experience a loss of appetite.
Besides being able to mask bad breath, it can cure a sore throat, swollen tonsils, bronchitis, and even laryngitis.
While some illnesses will require consuming thyme oil, others like skin conditions, can be treated by directly applying the oil to the problematic area. It can slow down blood clotting, resulting in bleeding and bruising when coupled with medication that also minimizes blood clotting. Pregnant and breast-feeding women can safely consume thyme oil during meals, but it is not recommended to consume it as a medication. It is advisable not to consume thyme two weeks prior to a planned surgery, for fear of executing its effects of slowing-down blood clotting. | 2019-04-26T04:52:08 | https://holisticzine.com/thyme-oil-uses |

Daylight was breaking when I started backing the boat from about 70 miles per hour down to an idle. About 200 yards from a huge log jam, I was confident this was the favorite residence of some big largemouth bass.
Trophy largemouth bass are extremely efficient predators. This is how they become so large and live so long. Nature, a wonderful but sometimes harsh system, assures that the best of the species prosper and pass their superior genes on to future generations, thus ensuring the survival of the species.
In the Harpeth River, several miles above where it merges with the Cumberland River sits Cheatham Lake where I really love to fish. It’s only about 20 minutes from my home and this area is usually not fished very hard. The first time I saw the area, I was excited about its potential for big fish.
The obvious question is probably what gives it the potential for big fish? Large or dominant bass, as with other species in the natural world, usually find and retain the best places in any body of water. Safety is a constant battle from when the fish are born to when they die, as well as feeding efficiently which is critical to their survival. The only way for them to grow is to take in more nutrition than they expend capturing it.
Deep water or quick access to it is important to mature largemouth bass because it gives them a safety zone from birds of prey such as bald eagles, osprey and herons. It also gives them a good field of vision to feed on thin fin and gizzard shad, shiners, crayfish and almost anything else they can manage to get in their mouths.
Deep water is also more stable, since there are less temperature variances. This is helpful because bass are cold-blooded creatures and its body is the same temperature as the water it is in. Its body temperature controls its metabolism, which controls how much it eats, which controls how much it grows. The bigger they get, the fewer things that can eat them, and the bigger their bodies and mouths are, the more variety of food options they have.
Current can also be beneficial because it is usually more oxygenated and often carries food to the bass. What could be more efficient for a good predator than to have his food come to him? In our world, we have the pizza delivery guy. Current also controls where the plankton goes, which controls where the plankton-eating shad go.
There is another key ingredient the bass prefer to have, and that is some form of cover, such as old trees, brush, weeds, docks or anything else floating in the water. The largemouth bass’ preferred method of hunting is ambush.
This fishing spot had everything I mentioned and I had a great feeling of anticipation. Even through the excitement and sense of purpose, I could not help but notice the pungent scent, on this beautiful spring morning, of all the wild honeysuckle on both sides of the river. The only sounds I heard were birds singing — no road noise, no cell phones — nothing but the sounds of nature. I paused for a moment to thank God for letting me be here in this breathtaking moment, for my good health and for my wonderful family. These moments are a big part of why I enjoy fishing so much. It is difficult for me to see things this clearly with daily distractions of work, traffic, etc.
I surveyed the log jam to choose my first target. I chose a spot between two logs and made a perfect flip that allowed the brush hog to silently slip between them to what I was sure would be a waiting largemouth I hopped it up and down a few times to give her time to eat it, but no takers. I picked another spot and repeated the process. Same result.
This is another thing I enjoy about fishing: No matter how good you think you are, you can always learn more. A wise friend once told me, “The more you know about something, the more you realize that you don’t know.” I often learn more on the tough days than the good days because I am pushed to finally figure things out.
I was convinced this log jam held a largemouth bass and I was determined to find it. I noticed the current was starting to flow stronger around a big tree and pitched the brush hog into the junction of the trunk and a large limb. The water was 20 feet deep here, but the brush hog only sank about a foot and stopped. My reflexes took over — it was game time.
The 7-pound largemouth came straight up out of the water and she was not the least bit happy. The fight was on. She tried to bulldog for the bottom, but my favorite flipping stick and the 20-pound line met the challenge. I know I had to do everything right in this kind of cover or I was in trouble. Years of experience taught me to be all business and soon I was landing my worthy adversary. I weighed this beauty, enjoyed my accomplishment and release her unharmed to pass on her superior genes. | 2019-04-25T23:46:35 | http://timtigheoutdoors.com/the-evolution-of-a-bass-fisherman-continued/ |
Stunning turquoise beaches, spectacular destinations and exciting activities are not the only reasons for tourists to keep coming back to Hawaii. This state is not merely another one attractive spot in the sun. There is an unquestionable characteristic deeply ingrained in Hawaii’s culture and traditions such as the ready smiles given to guests as well as the natural extension of common courtesy. It is widely referred to as the incomparable aloha spirit and guests would only be able to find it here.
are just some of its unique qualities.
But then, tourists should know that leis are not just an ornamental cluster of flowers. These are also among the greatest means of saying hello, farewell, thank you, congratulations, or even I love you as a wedding lei given by the bride and groom. The tradition of presenting leis could be pinpointed down to the actual roots of the islands. Based from the locals’ customary chants, the very first lei was made out of Lehua blossoms and this was presented by Hiiaka to her sister Pele, which is the Hawaiian volcano goddess, on a beach located in Puna.
The bride gives the traditional Maile lei to her new husband on the beach in Hawaii at her wedding , The Lei is entwined with white fragrant tuberose flowers .
the leis given to the high-ranking officers called alii were complemented with a respectful bow because it was not allowed for commoners to lift their arms even higher than the head of their king. It was not until World War II that the leis were presented together with a kiss. This custom was frequently credited to a Hawaiian entertainer who was dared to kiss an officer and after kissing him, she proceeded to give him a lei, explaining that what she did was an ancient Hawaiian tradition. Of course, that was not true then, but it sure is nowadays.
The process of making lei is a true Hawaiian art form. All leis are tenderly prepared by hand in an assortment of native patterns. There are some leis that are stitched with numerous delicate shells or blooms as well as small pieces of leaves or ferns. There are several leis that are coiled, some are actually braided and there are also those that are strung. The common denominator of these leis is that all of them are given to guests with love.
Each Hawaiian Island possesses its personal special flower for their leis, or what they call the lei of their island. For Oahu, their preference is a tiny orange flower named Ilima. Those from the Big Island favor a huge, fragile red puff called Lehua. Maui’s choice is a little rose named Lokelani. The selection of Kauai is the Mokihana and it is a sweet-scented green vine as well as berry. On the island of Molokai, their favorite is the Kukui, which is the Candlenut Tree’s white blossom. For Lanai, they love the Kaunaoa and it is a vivid yellow moss. The natives of Niihau utilize their island’s various seashells in order to create leis that used to be treasured by the Hawaiian royalty .
its is found on every island plus is in many family home gardens in Hawaii.
I would like as close to coral color in the lei as possible, and Arri would like the maile lei.
Wonderful choices for flower leis , yes the Maile leis is the traditional one that bride gives the the groom to wear during the ceremony in Hawaii.
For your color coral , we will have the florist paint a the white orchid flowers coral the petals easily absorb the special floral flower paint , we will have them use a coral color because its rare to have that color flower lei in Hawaii .
That looks great! It will go with our aqua blue, light tan, white (and a little bit of coral splashes) theme.
As discussed in a previous email, Travis would like a maile lei, and i would also like a white flower lei with greenery. Also, I see a bride above with a white and green haku, where should i get one of those?
Perfect thank you Megan , yes not too big not too small but just right in the middle size . | 2019-04-22T06:26:39 | https://alohaislandweddings.com/WP/2018/10/leis.html?replytocom=189 |
Anyone feel baby move when ur asleep?
With my previous pregnancy I felt the baby move all the time at night, kept me awake all the time. With this one I don't feel anything at night time. I am hoping that I am just turning into a heavy sleeper and I just don't wake up to it anymore. It worries me all night, and then I start having nightmares that the baby has died, it's awful. Does anyone else not feel much at night?
I wake up every morning and can't relax until I've felt Angus move!
He's not waking me up yet, but everytime I wake in the night to change position or go to the loo etc. he does have a little move then. If I accidentally roll over onto my tummy, I do wake up and he's kicking me - not sure if I'm waking up 'cos he's kicking me, or just naturally!
In the morning, if I want to feel him move, I do go on my stomach a bit - always works! hee hee!!!
Nope cant say i've felt Charlie Girl move in my sleep, usually its just as i'm falling asleep and changing positions or really early in the morning when I get up to take hubby to work.
I suppose that's where my pooh size comes in handy - I have a bump, but really, its just an extension of my pooh tummy! So I can sleep on my tummy, ish, but do only do it by accident (if I roll over in my sleep)!!!
It's so good to know that I don't have to feel him during the night. I was getting anxious about it. Joo I certainly couldn't roll onto my tummy, wish I could sometimes. It is hard enough going from side to side I feel like an elephant, lol. I got one of those pillows that SB was recommending and it does help to stay in the one position. But I wake up in dreadful pain if I stay in the one position for too long. Guess that's where having to go to the toilet all the time is a hidden blessing. I reckon if I didn't have to go I would wake up and be stuck in that one spot, not being able to move anything. Thanks for your replies.
Kris, I am the same sort of, I get bad pins and needles in my arm if I sleep on my left-side for too long (as I sleep with my head on my arm). Plus I get bored being in the same position. Have been very comfy on my right side but very aware its not as good as sleeping on my left side. Also finding I roll over onto my back which is not good!!!
Rolling over is becoming a right mission !!!
I always seem to roll over on to my back and then worry that I shouldnt be there ! I wish I could sleep on my tummy as that was my comfy spot before I got pg and I really miss it !
Ha, I find the right side better too, then I roll onto my back and everything begins to ache, so I then try the left and the so the cycle begins. Sigh, I do know that when I am on my right side baby goes crazy, I think he must find a nice comfy position and when I'm on the right it must squash him or something. I did play a game with him a while ago, hehe, I'd lie on my left, feel him get comfy then I'd roll onto my right, let him get comfy and roll again, hehe. Awful me. Can't do it now as it just takes too much effort to roll.
I find I feel nean kicking if I roll too far onto my front.
This morning I was laying on my left side and could feel bean kicking so rolled to my right and the blloming thing just folloed and started kicking that side! Its like bean had slid over when I rolled!
Sometimes I feel baby moving in the night but 90% of the time I must sleep through any movement she makes at night! | 2019-04-22T00:34:58 | https://forum.madeformums.com/pregnancy/49770-anyone-feel-baby-move-when-ur-asleep.html |

I’d like to share an article written by Lillian Brooks of LearningDisabilities.info. She shares loads of interesting and helpful ideas to support children with learning difficulties. I hope you enjoy it!
The same neurological differences that create learning disabilities such as dyslexia and autism may also be the source of creative thinking and artistic ability, because people with learning disabilities visualize differently than the rest of us. Psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz says certain diagnoses correlate with particular strengths, and she suggests that part of addressing a child’s learning disability should involve focusing on those strengths and nurturing their abilities. One way to do that is to provide children with outlets for creative expression.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder makes traditional classroom learning a challenge, but research indicates that students with impulse control issues not only come up with creative ideas, but they are also more likely to implement them. Their very inability to “pay attention” might increase the flow of unusual ideas that lead to innovation. Children with dyslexia tend to score highly on tests of visual-spatial aptitude and pattern recognition, helping them to see things other people might miss. Autistic people are frequently capable of prolonged, very intense focus on minute detail; their perseverating interests can help them to thrive in the right environment. It’s a matter of focusing on strengths while still addressing deficits.
Music education is an effective therapeutic approach for most learning disabled students. Studies show it can help reduce self-injurious and aggressive behaviors and improve communication skills. It can also improve concentration and general cognitive functioning and works naturally to improve coordination and movement. Because listening to music and playing a musical instrument involves multiple areas of the brain, it offers alternative pathways to learning when a student is challenged by traditional approaches.
Children love stories, so get them involved in the process of creating and performing them, and take them to watch professionals engaged in storytelling. Performing in plays is an effective pedagogical tool for fostering a love of drama, but it can also encourage the development of empathy and help students formulate theory of mind. Attending a live performance helps to involve all the body’s senses, and incorporates a level of audience involvement that is never present when consuming entertainment passively in a home setting.
Make sure your children have regular trips to art museums and musical and dramatic performances. Take time out of the educational rat race for family field trips to nature preserves and parklands, helping them to find the beauty in their world. Even very young children benefit from such exposure, as it encourages curiosity and intellectual development. Art feeds on inspiration, so feed your child’s sense of wonder and provide them with fodder for their own creative visions.
Children who struggle with a learning disability may be challenged by the traditional classroom learning environment. They may suffer a loss of self-confidence and feelings of embarrassment or shame because of their educational deficits. Arts instruction provides alternative teaching methods and outlets for creative success that can promote a greater sense of self-worth and new venues for personal accomplishment. | 2019-04-25T02:03:20 | https://icandoitmontessori.co.uk/parenting-tips/guest-post-how-creative-arts-help-children-with-learning-disabilities/ |
High-resolution respirometry (HRR) allows an efficient quantitative and qualitative analysis of mitochondrial energetics and the diagnostic assessment of function and dysfunction of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), known to be related to the occurrence of an increasing number of metabolic and other diseases. In the perspective of data harmonization between different laboratories and the establishment of a global data base on mitochondrial function (mtf), instrumental quality control combined with a standardized quality management system (QMSmtf) becomes crucial. This requires the availability of a reference sample which is functionally stable over time and across geographical space, as a basis of standard proficiency tests within and between reference laboratories.
The reference sample for respirometry has to be suitable for prolonged storage and for large scale production in order to allow broad distribution to laboratories worldwide. In contrast to other cell types, preliminary tests on HEK293T cells revealed that the viability of these cells was hardly affected even after prolonged storage and that several respiratory parameters slightly declined over time but did not show very dramatic reductions. Furthermore, in HEK293T cells even storage in dry ice for 48h appeared to be tolerated well. Therefore we conclude that HEK293T cells can be considered as promising candidates to serve as a valuable respirometric reference sample. | 2019-04-20T14:27:46 | http://wiki.oroboros.at/index.php/Lamberti_2016_Abstract_MitoFit_Science_Camp_2016 |
Queen Mary, University of London and community organising alliance London Citizens are running a leadership development program for people who live, work, or study in Poplar or the Isle of Dogs. They are looking to recruit enthusiastic volunteers to participate on this course starting in January 2016.
This is an excellent opportunity for local people looking for employment or career progression to develop their skills in, community engagement, interviews, social media & blogging, team work, story-telling, writing and time management.
Volunteers will be trained in leadership and public action by Queen Mary University, and will receive a Certificate of Accreditation at the end of the project. Spread over 3 months, volunteers will attend 6 training workshops, and be expected to complete a team project based around listening to people’s stories about what it means to live in Poplar and the Isle of Dogs today.
We want to find out what is good about living here, what concerns exist and how we can act to address them. To do this, a ‘story book’ will be created by participants, and there will be opportunities to enrol on a second project in the following year which looks to take action around the community’s issues. | 2019-04-26T12:31:21 | https://sayitpoplar.co.uk/opportunity/leadership-training-program-telling-poplars-story/ |

Love the stripey rug above, the white bamboo chairs, the head bust statue and the airy feeling.
Ooh symmetry! I like most of this, especially the x-stools, rug and Greek key cushions.
Symmetry (again), how I love thee. The trellis rug is what caught my eye in this design by Kelly Wearstler and I love the introduction of the yellow.
The above is a little busy for my personal style - I only wish I could add so much interest without it looking messy and mismatched. The black, Barcelona chair and ottoman manage to look cosy here. Is that a reindeer? Loving the antlers. Another bust. Love.
I saved this image for the paint colour and carpet. Also love the illustrations, the sofa, the rug and the burst of pink from the blooms.
Hunting and gathering for our own living room is now in full swing. I've tracked down some exciting pieces (an ottoman and trellis cushions to be revealed in later posts) but there's lots more to do. A fresh coat of white paint on the beadboard and a subtle grey to cover the green walls is on the agenda and new carpet too. Doubt over my initial choice of sisal has set in, so I'm looking for alternatives. The search for a replacement mantle continues.
After getting some handy advice from Naomi of the Live Breathe Decor blog, I need to find time to paint four more black and white canvases to add to the two I did a few years back, track down an attractive fire screen to hide the ugly heater and have curtains made with some Greek key detailing. Did I mention I'm looking for a TV unit and side tables?! No time for my day job when I'm on the hunt for all the things that make my heart sing. Oh, hang on, that's how I finance this little adventure. Life!

Achilles tendonitis is when the achilles tendon becomes inflamed or irritated. This inflammation is often the result of a lot of stress on your calf muscles and achilles tendon from either a sudden increase in intensity or frequency of exercise. Chronic overuse can contribute to micro-tears in the achilles tendon, leading to wear and tear over time that weakens the tendon and thickening of the tendon from scar tissue.
When treated promptly, achilles tendonitis is often short-lived. Left untreated, Achilles tendonitis can cause persistent pain or cause your tendon to rupture. The healing process causes scar tissue to form. Because scar tissue is not as elastic as the tendon, the scar tissue doesn’t allow the tendon to stretch normally, which can lead to a rupture of the tendon.
Fortunately, rest and over-the-counter medications to reduce your pain and inflammation may be all the treatment you need for Achilles tendonitis. In some cases, physical therapy may be needed. If you ignore symptoms, the result can be a rupture or tear of the tendon and surgery may be needed.

Where is the Achilles Tendon and What Does it Do?
Tendons are strong, fibrous tissues that attach muscles to bones. When muscles contract, the muscle pulls on the tendon that moves the bone. The achilles tendon attaches the two calf muscles (the outer gastrocnemius and the underlying soleus) that share the achilles tendon to the heel bone (calcaneus).
When contracted, the calf muscles pull on the achilles tendon causing the foot to point downward helping you to rise up onto the ball of your foot. As the calf muscles relax, they allow you to lower your heel to the ground. This powerful muscle group in your calf helps you sprint, jump, or climb and provides the push-off phase in walking and running.
The achilles tendon is one of the strongest in the body but is prone to injury because of the tremendous pressure that is put on it with every step we take.Achilles tendonitis is often an overuse injury—doing too much too soon.
Problems with the Achilles tendon affect athletes most often; especially runners, basketball players, and sports that require jumping—like volleyball and tennis. Problems are also common in middle-aged adults. Tendonitis can also be caused by calf muscles that are too tight. Some injuries to the Achilles tendon are minor and some—ruptures—are rather severe.
Achilles tendonitis can be either acute which occurs over a period of a few days following and increase in training, or chronic which occurs over a longer time. In athletes, problems are often acute following a sudden increase in training—either distance, speed or hills. Risk factors for non-athletes include diabetes, age, obesity, steroids, certain antibiotics or a “weekend warrior” injury.
What do Achilles Tendon Problems Feel Like?
Chronic Achilles tendonitis can follow acute tendonitis if untreated. Chronic tendonitis is more difficult to treat.
You can have pain either where the Achilles tendon attaches to the calf muscle—tendonitis—or where it attaches to the heel bone (calcaneus)—bursitis. There is a fluid-filled sac between the tendon and the bone, called a bursa that limits friction when the tendon glides up and down at the back of the heel bone. Bursitis usually starts as pain and irritation at the back of the heel. You may see redness or swelling there. Shoes can aggravate the condition making it hard to wear shoes but some are better than others for tendonitis.
How are Achilles tendon problems identified?
Diagnosis is done by your doctor taking a history—“what were you doing when the pain started?”—and a physical exam to see where your calf and/or foot hurt. You will likely have xrays to rule out fracture and show bone spurs or other problems.
Your treatment will depend on the severity of our injury and how long it has been since your injury. You will likely be started on rest, ice and anti-inflammatory medicines such as aspirin or NSAIDs.
Resting the painful Achilles tendon allows the inflammation to subside and allow for healing. A period of rest—stopping the activity that is causing the pain—after the onset of symptoms is important in controlling Achilles tendonitis.
In patients who have more significant symptoms, a period of immobilization can help. Either a removable walking boot, or sometimes even a cast, can allow the inflamed tissue to cool down quickly. Wearing a walking boot keeps the calf muscle from pulling on the Achilles tendon.
The boot prevents you from pushing off with the ball of your foot or pointing your toes downward. The walking boot should be worn when walking. However, there is some benefit to wearing the boot even when you’re at rest as the boot keeps a slight stretch on the tendon and prevents further shortening.
A night splint keeps the foot in a similar position as the walking boot, with a gentle stretch on the Achilles tendon. However, a night splint is not sturdy enough to allow walking.
Daily use of a night splint while sedentary, from minutes to several hours, can help physical therapy and continues the rehabilitation while at home. After recovery, a night splint can help prevent recurrent strains and maintains lower extremity flexibility, especially in athletes.
For some injuries, physical therapy is recommended to help remove or stretch scar tissue and to control pain and swelling. Patients with mild symptoms of bursitis or tendonitis often do well with two to four weeks of physical therapy.
The physical therapist’s goal is to keep your pain and swelling under control, improve your range of motion and strength, and make sure you regain a normal walking pattern. Treatments such as ultrasound, moist heat, and massage are used to control pain and inflammation. As pain eases, treatment progresses to include stretching and strengthening exercise.
Physical therapy can also include shock waves, ultrasound, and ice. The key to proper ice and heat therapy is knowing when to ice and heat an injury. Your physical therapist knows when and how to apply treatment to reduce swelling and pain while still allowing the healing inflammatory process. Your therapist will teach you a home-care program to go along with the office therapy to help speed healing.
One purpose of the treatment is to break up scar tissue that has formed and to stretch out the scar tissue allowing the tendon to stretch normally without pain or tearing. The order of treatment is important. You don’t want to stretch a “cold” tendon. Injured tendons shorten and need to be stretched.
Also, be careful not to overdo stretching. Only gentle stretches for the calf muscles and Achilles tendon are used at first. As the tendon heals and pain eases, more aggressive stretches are done. Ask your therapist, “On a scale of 1-10, how much should I be stretching the tendon.” To prevent further scar tissue from forming, ice is applied after stretching, massage, or treatments. Don’t overdo therapy as this can slow down the healing process by adding further injury to the tendon.
Ultrasound—high or low frequency sound waves—can help increase the blood flow to the area to reduce swelling and speed healing. The vibrating sound waves can travel deep into the tissue (muscles) creating gentle heat. The heat increases the blood flow to the area to deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove cell wastes. The deep heat also helps relieve pain, inflammation and muscle spasms. Ultrasound is painless. You may feel tingling; often, you won’t feel anything at all.
Low-energy shock wave therapy has been used successfully for chronic tendonitis. This therapy does not need anesthesia and can take several treatment sessions. The vibrations produced by the energy waves are applied to the painful areas. Shock wave therapy stimulates soft-tissue healing by increasing blood supply to the treated area.
Small electrode pads are placed on the painful area. Then you control the degree of “shock” to the area. The therapy can last as long as 20 minutes. During the treatment, you can increase the intensity as you adjust to each level. During treatment you should feel a tingling sensation, but not pain.
Electrical stimulation can also be used in iontophoresis. This treatment involves the application of a topical anti-inflammatory to the area. The stimulation forces the medication into the tissues reducing inflammation.
Steroid injections are rarely used because it is believed they can weaken the tendon increasing the risk of total rupture.
If you have mild symptoms, you should do well with 2-4 weeks of physical therapy; more severe injuries can take as long as 2-3 months. As your condition improves, you can begin doing exercises to strengthen your calf muscles. Strengthening starts gradually using exercises that work the calf muscles but protect the healing area.
Eventually, you can do specialized strengthening exercises that work the calf muscle while it lengthens. For example, standing on your tiptoes and then carefully lowering your heels back to the ground.
When your healing is well under way, regular visits to the therapist’s office will end. Your therapist will continue to be a resource, but you will be in charge of doing your exercises as part of an ongoing home program. You should be able to get back to normal activities. If you are an athlete, you will be guided through rehab specific to your sport.
It is important to properly rehab the tendon after you recover from the injury or the injury will return.
• Q. How long do you have to wear walking boot?
A. How long you have to wear a walking boot will depend on how bad your injury is. Your first follow-up visit will likely be in 2 weeks after wearing the boot. If you still have problems, then you will likely wear the boot for a month and then follow-up with your doctor. If you still need the boot after two weeks, you may also be started on physical therapy which includes massage, and stretching exercises. The purpose of the boot is to rest the tendon.
The downside is you can lose muscle tone in your foot and calf from lack of use. You should wear the boot except to sleep at night. Achilles tendonitis can be caused by calf muscle inflexibility. Even when you’re sitting, wearing the boot will position your foot to keep your calf muscles in a slight stretch. Your doctor or PT may also prescribe a night boot for you to sleep in. The night boot is softer than the walking boot and is designed to keep a constant, slight stretch on your calf muscles. Because of the poor blood supply in this area, Achilles tendonitis can heal very slowly.
Without following proper treatment, you can injure the Achilles even more possibly requiring surgery, a cast and crutches.
I have had Achilles Tendonitis twice in my right foot. Wore boot and physical therapy and seemed to get better. That was 7 months ago. Now it’s back and my other heel hurts too. Afraid he is going to tell me to have surgery and has anyone had it in both heels and had surgery on both at same time?
How long will tendon heal after tendon repair surgery?
Hi, Lynne! Based on the information you’ve shared, the pain in your ankles might not be tendonitis, and might actually be related to your OA. However, because there is no definite way for us to diagnose your condition, we suggest that you visit your primary care doctor to get proper diagnosis and treatment.
I must be suffering from the chronic middle-aged version, as I am not an athlete, also suffer from chronic osteoarthritis and degenerative disc. That said, it would not have come from strenuous exercise or running! It is becoming very painful though, mostly in my right Achilles, but the left as well. Always bad in the morning and also throughout the day. I’m thinking about the night splint. Anyone else in my particular situation? At least someone who isn’t an athlete or has acquired it from an overexertion or injury?
I have Achilles tendonitis and I don’t know if I should where a boot. My doctor gave me these heel cups and said I should be better in 4-6 weeks. I dance so my teachers don’t believe me and make me do the work still. What should I do.
My achilles tendinitis don’t seem to go. I ruptured in 2013, I’ve never healed to date despite treatment. The other leg has severe tendinitis too. Can the braces assist?
I just injured my calf muscle and we think its a pull or tear. Do you think I will have to get a boot?
I hve a heel spur right behind my achilles tendon (back of heel not bottom), and i been in pain for almost 1 month and I finally (practicly) crawled into my local podiatrist office, they put me in a boot and gave me a steriod cream to apply 4 times a day! hope this works!!
I had a severe strain of the achilles tendon last year from running sprints. I wore a walking boot for 6 weeks. When I got out of the boot my calf, foot and ankle were so weak, I had to do lots of stability exercises to get my balance back. I think that boot is a good news – bad news treatment. The good news is your achilles heals but the bad news is how weak your calf and ankle get so quickly. | 2019-04-21T12:35:14 | https://www.healthpages.org/health-a-z/achilles-tendonitis-symptoms-diagnosis-treatment/ |

In an op-ed in The Hill today, ABA President and CEO Rob Nichols called for the repeal of the Dodd-Frank Act’s Durbin Amendment, which he said has negatively affected banks’ ability to serve their customers and failed to deliver its promise of lower prices for consumers.
In an op-ed in The Hill today, ABA President and CEO Rob Nichols called for the repeal of the Dodd-Frank Act’s Durbin Amendment, which he said has negatively affected banks’ ability to serve their customers and failed to deliver its promise of lower prices for consumers. The amendment created a government-imposed cap on debit interchange fees charged by banks with $10 billion or more in assets, though Nichols noted that smaller institutions have also suffered Durbin’s unintended consequences.
Prior to the Durbin amendment, pricing on debit card interchange was tied to the market, which allowed banks to support consumer benefits such as low-cost checking accounts and debit rewards programs. Once Durbin’s one-size-fits-all rate cap was instituted, however, Nichols said that unintended consequences came in the form of less flexibility for small businesses and higher compliance costs for banks — with consumers faring poorly.
Echoing a letter from the state bankers associations last week, Nichols called on Congress to support H.R. 5465, a bill recently introduced by Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-Texas) that would repeal the amendment. | 2019-04-23T13:05:16 | https://bankingjournal.aba.com/2016/06/op-ed-nichols-calls-for-repeal-of-archaic-durbin-amendment/ |
Build a Hospital Incident Management Team (HIMT) to be prepared should disaster strike.
Attendees practice what they learn based on a local demographic drill.
Cross-training is critical as most organizations have limited staff to fill these roles. Education and opportunities to practice in these positions should be conducted frequently to all those identified as part of the HIMT.
These sessions are then followed by a drill where specific local demographics are utilized and practical use of the day’s training is applied. | 2019-04-19T06:26:01 | https://vantagepointc.com/hospitals-and-healthcare/hospital-incident-management-team-himt/ |

The health care legislation passed Sunday was classic sausage-making, with bribes for the honorable senators from Louisiana, Florida and Nebraska, and unsavory deals cut with Big Pharma and the Democrats' most beloved constituency, labor unions. The president delayed an overseas trip to put the full-court press on waffling House members -- both liberal (Dennis Kucinich) and moderate (Bart Stupak, et al.).
As an aside, I find it humorous that most conservatives recoil at President Bush's creation of Medicare Part D, but shrieked in opposition when a Democratic-controlled Congress proposed cutting $500 billion from Medicare. It really is all about this November, isn't it?
The quality of the debate devolved so severely that my first reaction to the bill's passage on Sunday was, for the first time, a degree of embarrassment for my country. Most conservatives -- regurgitating the talking points of Republican congressional leaders -- term this legislation a "government takeover of health care." This is absolutely idiotic. No single payer. No public option. No "death panels." Handouts to Pharma. "Government takeover" -- you're kidding, right?
Just because Mark Levin or Rush Limbaugh pounds his fist on the desk and use such catchphrases as "socialism" or "government takeover" to drive up listenership doesn't mean you get to parrot them. An informed citizenry is crucial, and conservatives do themselves, their party and their country a disservice by regurgitating talk radio talking points and being unable to otherwise argue against what is actually a bad policy.
And that is the critical conclusion of the last 6 months -- conservative opinion leaders have whipped their disciples into such a frenzy that conservatives' only opposition to the bill is in the form of buzzwords. Conservatism continues its steep descent into a movement devoid of anything but reflexive, hysterical opposition. This is a sad trend for the movement started by William F. Buckley.
Mitch McConnell led the Republicans in staunchly opposing the totality of the Democrats' bill. This is perfectly acceptable conduct, but if you do so, you must have an alternative in hand that you can present to the American people. This is precisely what Newt Gingrich warned the GOP of a year ago. While some Republicans -- namely, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan -- put forth interesting, substantive proposals, those floundered outside the mainstream of Republican policy and were never embraced or proffered by Mitch McConnell or John Boehner (and in fact, barely acknowledged) as alternatives to the Democrats' plan. If Ryan & Co. couldn't get anywhere with the Republican leadership, why should Pelosi and Hoyer take them seriously in crafting the final product?
What McConnell should have said at the health care summit was the following: "Mr. President, after hearing the proposals from each of our parties, it is clear that we have agreed upon items A, B, C and D. On Monday, you, Sen. Reid and Speaker Pelosi will each have a bill on your desk setting forth these policies and only these policies." McConnell would have backed Obama into a corner and painted him as the partisan ideologue he is -- instead, the awkward, wooden Kentuckian displayed his sheer ineptitude by assuming that the Democrats' bill would fail on its own merits. McConnell made a gamble that treating this as Obama's Waterloo, and opposing the totality of the bill, would be a better political gambit than publicly embracing some of the more popular elements of the bill (removing lifetime maximums), but not others (the employer mandate). This was a crucial miscalculation. When Obama called the health care summit, he was on the ropes. McConnell and Boehner had a chance to go for the throat by forcing the president to publicly reject the most popular aspects of the bill -- and they didn't do it. This fact cannot be overstated.
The problem with the Republican leadership's approach to the entire process was that although the Democrats' bill in its totality -- all 2,700 pages worth -- was opposed by a majority of Americans, some specific elements of the bill were actually highly popular. Removing the antitrust exemption, eliminating lifetime maximums and addressing preexisting conditions each enjoyed support among a high percentage of Americans, and the GOP ignored this fact at its peril.
On the other side of the aisle, liberals have been blinded for years by the moral imperative argument -- their claim that access to health care is a right and that therefore, the government has a responsibility to provide it. The same Democrats who criticize pro-life Republicans for opposing abortion on moral and ethical grounds claim the same moral and ethical grounds as their sole reason for supporting expanded access to health care. This is pure hypocrisy.
Health care is no more a right than a doctor has an obligation to give it to you for free.
The most objectionable specific provisions of the bill are the expansion of Medicaid, the subsidization of health insurance for individuals earning nearly $90,000 annually for a family of four ($90,000!), and most especially, the mandate. The government can force you to do a lot of things -- serve in the military, pay taxes, etc. -- but this is the first time I can remember that the federal government has compelled citizens to engage in some sort of private activity. The bill is obviously susceptible to a challenge under the 10th Amendment, and it will be good for our country (and the federal courts) to have this discussion. The Constitution specifically sets forth that the federal government is to be one of enumerated powers only, and the 10th Amendment specifically reserves all powers not expressly enumerated to the federal government to the states. This is precisely why the State of Missouri can fine me if I don't buy auto insurance, but the federal government, to this point at least, wasn't able to. For a good discussion of the constitutionality of the mandate, click here.
Additionally, the employer mandate will do nothing more than hit businesses of all sizes in the pocketbook. If employers over a certain size don't provide their employees some sort of health insurance plan, they will be fined $2,000 per worker. This is absurd. As our country tries to climb out of a recession, what effect do Democrats think this provision will have on the economy?
But the most compelling reason to vote against the bill? It doesn't reduce health care costs in any measurable way -- and health care costs, rising at a double-digit inflation rate annually, are precisely why the system is broken. The Democrats' bill purports to provide insurance or subsidies to purchase insurance to 32 million Americans, but does nothing to stem the tide of costs in the health care sector generally. Any reduction in costs by introducing millions of new insureds into the market will almost certainly be stunted by insurance companies' inability to deny coverage based on preexisting conditions. Shouldn't any so-called "comprehensive reform" -- and this it clearly is not -- of 1/6 of the American economy include some way to stem the skyrocketing costs that have made coverage so expensive?
Less than a month ago, Joe Biden appeared on Larry King Live and unequivocally stated that cost containment must be one of the central features, if not the one of most paramount importance, of any legislation.
I repeat: The Democrats' bill does nothing to control costs. And this was the exact problem in the first place, and the reason the national debate has occurred. That was precisely why 48 million Americans were uninsured in the first place -- the cost of health care has simply risen too high.
Republicans screamed "socialism." Democrats screamed "moral imperative."
I've about had it with you idiots.
That said, the horrifically embarrassing national discussion hasn't been wholly devoid of fascinating commentary.
Glenn Greenwald scoffs at the notion that special interests took one on the chin. For all the president's rhetoric that a vote against him was a vote for the insurance companies, he sure gave his supposed adversaries quite the bag of goodies.
Jonathan Chait goes so far as to call the bill "moderate."
Mitt Romney's presidential ambitions hinge entirely on Republican voters forgetting the type of governor he was in Massachusetts. I wonder what Romney's biggest backers in the GOP -- e.g., Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Jim Talent -- think about this?
The invaluable FactCheck.org evaluated the makeup of the uninsured.
Ross Douthat and David Frum debate the extent to which the Republican leadership set the table for the GOP's Waterloo. Both make compelling arguments, and I'm not sure who I agree with.
In a separate post, Douthat opines that neither party will make difficult decisions on health care "until we're way too close to the fiscal wall for comfort."
Mark Halperin thinks that Republicans running against the bill is medicine for defeat in November. I agree with him -- instead of slamming the totality of the bill, the GOP needs to pick out specific provisions -- the mandate, the sleazy deals, etc., the simple fact that it won't cut costs a dime -- and run against those.
Are we still taking John Boehner seriously? | 2019-04-24T18:12:15 | http://bipartisanrules.blogspot.com/2010/03/comprehensive-health-care-reax.html |

Solution: Use a protractor like I show you below.
Problem: What is a spring angle? How do I find it?
With the 52/38 crown, you usually place the crown as in the picture to the left.
The short run to the ceiling & the long rise to the wall, so you will have more crown on the wall than the ceiling.
This is called a dentil and typically the decorative element of the trim is placed on the bottom.
This is common element in crown molding it's shape is called an "ogee" Most of the time this will be at the ceiling.
Solution: Typically more crown will go on the wall than ceiling see below.
Problem: Which way does the crown go?
Solution: Bevel - tilt of the blade. Miter - angle on the table. See below.
Problem: What is the difference between a bevel and a miter?
Position the crown in a square like this and move it back and forth until the top and bottom flanges are as close as possible to meeting flush most are back about 2 degrees from the 90 (square).
This is how you determine the spring angle using a prosite protactor.
The spring angle for this crown is 45/45 That isn't always the case. 45/45 and 52/38 are the most common but you will find others.
or a seasoned pro, please be very careful. Read all of your tools safety guides and above all if it doesn't feel right just don't do it.
The spring angle is the angle from the wall to the back of your crown. The two most common spring angles are 38deg and 45deg. You need to know the spring angle to be able cut and install crown mouldings. | 2019-04-25T12:15:20 | http://installcrown.com/How_to_Install_Crown_Molding_Ba.html |

When it was introduced, e‐mail was a revolutionary new tool for the exchange of ideas, information, and pleasantries. What once took days to convey could now be relayed in seconds. Eventually e‐mail became a huge part of our working lives, changing the way we do business day‐to‐day. However, while many jobs got much easier, the job of a litigating attorney was about to change drastically. With the prevalence of e‐mail, companies are now producing a deluge of information – information that needs to be preserved, collected, indexed, and produced during the course of discovery.
Luckily, with advances in data storage technology have come similar advancements in the collection of this Electronically Stored Information (“ESI”). Historically, the mere thought of collecting and sifting through 100,000 records was enough to drive an attorney crazy. Now, the processes and protocols are in place to make a similar effort efficient and controllable.
However, while the early recognition by companies of the inherent business value of e‐mail has allowed attorneys, IT personnel, and e‐discovery professionals to stay ahead of this proliferation of data, instant messaging poses greater problems due to its more sudden acceptance as a business tool. What was once reserved for personal communications, is now being used across all industries (in some cases exclusively) as both a supplement and replacement for the more formal e‐mail.
And why shouldn’t it? The ability to share ideas and information in real‐time is an efficient upgrade to the delayed responses we experience even with e‐mail. As a result, counsel must be especially cognizant of this changing landscape, as the slow replacement of e‐mail with instant communications indicates coming changes in e‐discovery law that threaten to catch everyone by surprise. The bottom line is: What are our legal responsibilities from an e‐discovery standpoint in regard to instant communications?
Before developing a plan for dealing with new technologies, it is important to identify the weaknesses the new technology can create in a company’s discovery policies, and the potential exposure those gaps can lead to.
Lack of Control: The first problem to address is an organization’s lack of control over the communications tools that their employees are using. As employees discover new and more useful methods to do their jobs, they are going to be rapidly integrating those tools into their everyday duties. This is of particular concern for high‐tech companies where their employees are likely to be early adopters of new applications and web‐based services. The newer the technology, the more likely it is that the effects of that technology on e‐discovery have yet to be contemplated by the company’s counsel.
Lack of Knowledge: Once a new technology is discovered to have been used, or is being used, by employees, counsel has the ability to better control the type of information that is being relayed via that communication tool as well as how much of that information will be retained. However, it creates a dangerous unknown for counsel in regards to (a) how much data has already been created and stored, (b) where is that data being stored, and (c) what does that information contain?
Threat of Discovery: As will be seen, current court rulings and statutory law are fairly silent on how to specifically deal with the day‐to‐day generation of instant messages. But as we have seen in the past, this does not alleviate companies from the duty to contemplate inevitable changes to the discovery rules, and to put in place policies and protocols that properly deal with the treatment of their data. This becomes especially important in light of the fact that there may be communications being created by, and retained for, their employees which will end up being discoverable. Without instituting a proactive plan immediately, companies run the risk of being required to produce potentially compromising information over which they had no control and of which they were unaware.
Privilege: The greatest risk a company faces related to the use of instant communications by their non‐ attorney employees is a lack of attorney‐client protection. Even as companies and counsel have become better at directing employees to protect their legal discussions by communicating them with an attorney via e‐mail, there are still instances where otherwise privileged conversations are being had sans any kind of request for legal advice. How dangerous, then, will employee conversations about legal matters become now that they are being had via instant messages? Employees who may neglect to loop in counsel on a legal matter from the outset of the conversation will now be having those conversations in the less formal, much more open format of an online chat. Absent a request for, or reflection of, legal advice in a communication, the likelihood of compromising information being relayed will increase significantly.
Breach: Not addressed here in full, but very relevant nonetheless, is the increased threat of security/data breach that arises with each additional piece of software that is introduced to a company’s network. Without a proper vetting of various messaging software, a company’s security may be at the whim of a single employee’s decision.
WHAT IS THE CURRENT LEVEL OF DUTY TO RETAIN IM’S?
Not surprisingly, the amount of information on this is sparse. The question of whether to retain instant messages and text messages has certainly been discussed, but it is not yet being challenged during litigation. The reasoning is most likely two‐fold: (1) Litigants are burdened enough with the collection and review of e‐mail and documents and don’t see the value in combing through chat logs, and (2) parties are loathe to request IM records for fear that they will be required to produce similar records of their own.
If a company is in the financial services industry, then they already know their standard. Per the SEC and NASD, financial services companies must retain their text messages and instant messages for at least three years. However, this requirement is very specific and rare. For any other company, the standard is much more lenient. There is essentially no known duty to preserve instant or text messages if a party does not routinely save those messages and litigation is not anticipated.1 The only decision that may arise for an organization will be when that company does not retain instant messages in the ordinary course of business and a continuing obligation to preserve data arises in connection with pending or anticipated litigation. In that situation, an organization must decide if the pending or anticipated litigation is sufficient so as to require altering the organization’s retention policy to begin retaining those records.
By that standard, and the overwhelming lack of court guidance on the subject, it would seem that counsel should be comfortable advising their corporate clients to not retain instant messages. They may be right to do so, but only under the prevailing thought that e‐mail is the dominant method of communication in the workplace. Unfortunately, recent studies say otherwise. A 2013 survey by Informa Telecoms found that users sent roughly 20 billion instant messages per day – thus overtaking traditional SMS messaging via phone. According to TechNewsWorld, an online technology news publisher, “80 to 90 percent of all companies have some instant messaging use by employees”, with 80% of that activity taking place over external programs.2 As employees make their work easier by incorporating the everyday technologies they are comfortable with, and as software start‐ups continue to create better enterprise IM systems, the replacement of work e‐mail with instant communications is almost inevitable.
The answer to the question of what level of preservation attorneys should be advising for their clients isn’t as simple as it seems. Despite the lack of standards or statutes, it should be clear that as people’s communication habits change, so too will the legal rules governing the preservation of those communications.
1 The Sedona Conference, International Principles on Discovery, Disclosure & Data Protection: Best Practices, Recommendations & Principles for Addressing the Preservation Discovery of Protected Data in U.S. Litigation (2011) 2 Seth A. Northrup & Li Zhu, Let’s Chat About the Legal Risks of Instant Messaging, Corporate Counsel, March 14, 2014.
If you are counsel or corporate management, the idea that information is being created and not controlled has to be a frightening proposition. How much scarier, then, would it be to find out that it is already happening as you read this?
There are already a large number of chat clients available to employees to improve their efficiency. Products such as HipChat and Cisco’s Jabber are already providing enterprise chat solutions for companies, while tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Box are actively working on providing more advanced options.4 But the true leader in the space appears to be Sand Hill Road darling, Slack.com.
One of the fastest growing business applications in history, Slack is a team collaboration tool created and launched in April, 2014. The application is available free to online users, but Slack also offers enterprise solutions that provide customizable settings. They reasonably estimate that by the end of this year, there will be 2‐3 million workers around the world using Slack.5 The question isn’t whether instant messaging is going to replace work e‐mail – the question is whether or not it has already.
A worker’s incentive to switch from e‐mail to an application like Slack is obvious. The application offers persistent chat rooms organized by topic, as well as private groups and messaging. Employees can now discuss, in real‐time, their various projects with only the specific people they need input from. What once involved a multi‐recipient, 15 message e‐mail string, can now be resolved with a five minute chat where workers can share ideas, files, and links. The value created by this efficiency is extensive, but this is a potential nightmare for an eDiscovery professional.
The free version of the application allows you to view up to 10,000 archived messages, however, it also says that “although there are older messages than are shown below, you can’t see them.” This is a clear indicator that every instant message is being retained by Slack servers. So, even where a company has a clear policy to not retain instant messages absent a pending legal matter, employees may have already generated thousands of lines of discoverable content via a third‐party chat client.
3 Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(a) advisory committee’s note (2006) – (“Rule 34(a)(1) is intended to be broad enough to cover all current types of computer‐based information, and flexible enough to encompass future changes and developments. References elsewhere in the rules to ‘“electronically stored information”’ should be understood to invoke this expansive approach.”).
4 The enterprise chat software space is replete with options, including Lync, Google Apps, Yahoo, Facebook at Work, Voxer, Instantbird, Yammer, Pie, Let’s Chat, Sharepoint, etc.
5 The investor community has taken notice, and they seem to agree that enterprise chat software is the future of workplace communication. Slack’s initial round of financing netted them $43 million in April, 2014, and was quickly followed up by a $120 million round in October, 2014 (valuation: $1.2 billion). Most recently, Slack garnered a third round of financing for $160 million in April, 2015 (valuation: $2.76 billion).
There is a school of thought that describes instant messages as being the equivalent of an offline communication. But is a real‐time, online chat, the same as an interpersonal conversation, or should it be treated like e‐mail? A good indicator is often whether or not the chat was recorded. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure say that ESI is “any . . . electronically stored information.” With Slack (and similar application) chats being recorded, it stands to reason that courts will be empowered to deem those conversations discoverable, whether directly from the producing party or via a third‐party subpoena/request. Your organization may be sitting on a mountain of producible, highly relevant evidence and not even realize it.
Further complicating matters is the issue of privilege. In eDiscovery, electronic conversations with an attorney or an acting agent of that attorney are rightfully withheld as privileged communications. In fact, most often communications that include an attorney (via cc) or which relay legal advice in some manner are also considered privileged. Such a broad allowance has made it easier for organizations to institute e‐mail policies requiring their employees to include counsel in a communication that raises the need for legal interpretation. Alternatively, employees may be directed to conduct legal inquiries via an offline conversation (in person, phone call, etc.) to solidify the attorney‐client relationship. How, then, is a company to preserve the privilege of a communication via chat? The benefits of instant messaging are that employees can collaborate in real‐time, allowing them to express ideas or questions as they arise, and to get immediate feedback without the delay of e‐mail. The risk, then, is that employees will feel free to discuss potentially damaging legal issues without the presence or feedback of an attorney. Now, combine (1) the data created outside the scope of the corporate retention policy that (2) has been recorded throughout on a third‐party server which (3) is likely to be discoverable pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that (4) was conveyed without the presence of an attorney. The result is the existence of potentially relevant and non‐privileged data over which the company has no control.
This puts tremendous pressure on organizations and their counsel to determine what constitutes reasonable, proportional steps in preservation going forward. As the types and location of data, across internal and external systems, continues to grow, the definition of what is reasonable and proportional will begin to change. If a company is creating 75% of their relevant information via instant message, then a court is likely to determine discovery of that content to be both reasonable and certainly proportional. Without a concerted effort to plan accordingly, organizations and their attorneys run the risk of significant sanctions when their productions come up short.
Luckily, there is good news. First, applications like Slack and its counterparts are often customizable. If using a paid service, an organization can customize retention and archiving preferences to match their policies and protocols, and do so as a reasonable litigation cost. Secondly, eDiscovery professionals, such as BlackStone Discovery, offer solutions that can help organizations rein in and organize any existing information, while creating a detailed plan to control future data.
As data gets strewn across more and more platforms and resources, being able to track and preserve it becomes more difficult. This is especially problematic when employees are creating data via third‐party software. The ideal solution is the implementation of front‐end Information Governance, or “IG.” IG will allow an organization to not only audit and track the information that is currently being generated, but it will also allow for the company to track information created in the past and bring it under the umbrella of their corporate ESI policy. Going forward thereafter, any new tool used to communicate, store, or create information can be mapped to the organization’s network.
The first step is to determine what information is being created that is not being tracked. A BlackStone Discovery IG professional can assist by preparing a detailed data map which identifies all data nodes in the organization, especially those that are operating outside the purview of the company’s ESI policy. By mapping the data to a central location, an organization can be sure that all of the company’s information is being covered by the retention and preservation protocols. Mapping the data sources will also allow for the discovery of new, untracked information during scheduled future audits. This will give an organization not only the peace of mind that their information is under control, but also a detailed and defensible policy should a court ever question their methodology.
Once potential weak spots have been identified, an organization should evaluate the need for instant messaging. Most likely it is too late, and the use of IM software is already entrenched. If the decision is made to use IM for work‐related matters, the company should consult their BlackStone Discovery IG professional to help determine the strengths and weaknesses of a potential enterprise IM system. Such a system should be for work‐related discussions only, with no public messaging feature. It should also be customized to conform to an instant messaging policy, created in conjunction with the IG professional and counsel, meant to govern the use, content, retention, and scheduled, defensible destruction of IMs.
Once all data sources have been identified, and an instant messaging policy has been created to supplement the general ESI records retention policy, the organization should identify previously untracked data. This data can then be brought into conformity with the new records retention policies where it can be analyzed for adherence to expired disposal dates, outstanding legal holds, etc.
The immediate benefits are obvious. Data has been identified and brought under control, allowing the organization to perform an eDiscovery collection with peace of mind. The threat of unknown, incriminating data being produced has been greatly reduced. At the same time, the company has established a defensible framework that they can be confident in should their productions be challenged.
The secondary benefit is that an organization and its counsel can expand the scope of their own discovery requests. With the knowledge that their instant messaging data is properly controlled and preserved, counsel can push for the production of IM chats from the opposition without worrying about the quality of a reciprocal production.

1) In a large bowl, sift the flour and salt, add the butter and mix together loosely with your fingers. Mix until all the flour is blended into the butter.
2) Make a well in the middle of the mixture and add about 1/3 of the water, mix until you have a dough like consistency. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow time for the dough to rest.
3) On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and kneed gently. With your hands, form into a rectangular shape, then roll in one direction only, until it is 3 times its original length.
4) Fold the bottom third up into the centre, then the top third down over that. Turn the dough 90° to the left or right, and roll out again to three times the length. Fold like before, then cover with cling film and refrigerate again for at least 20 mins before rolling to use.
1) Preheat your oven to 190°C. Chop the apples in half, core them, and then using a sharp knife or a mandolin, thinly slice the apples (make sure you leave the skin on!).
2) Put the apples in the bowl of water and microwave for approximately 5 and a half minutes until you can bend them. Drain in a colander and run cold water over them so they aren’t too hot to handle.
3) I used individual silicon muffin cases but you can use a muffin tin just the same (if you do use a tin then lightly spray with oil so they don’t stick). On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry if necessary to make it long enough to cut into 6 equal strips of about 5cm in height, and 30cm in length.
4) Using a pastry brush or the back of a teaspoon, spread a light layer of honey.
5) On the upper half of the pastry strips, add slices of apple so that they overlap slightly. Fold the pastry so that the bottom half of the apples slices are covered.
6) Roll from one end to the other to form the roses; place in the muffin case/tin and sprinkle with cinnamon, repeat for all slices of pastry and then bake in the oven for around 40 minutes until the centre part is cooked.
7) Sprinkle with icing sugar, and serve.
These are one of my favourite things to make!
These look fabulous! Sounds delicious and simple to make too. | 2019-04-19T00:56:46 | https://theflourfield.wordpress.com/2016/10/05/rose-apples-tarts/ |
ISLAMABAD : Minister for Defense Khawaja Asif on Monday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is ready for any kind of accountability but the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) should also offer itself for accountability.
Talking to the media outside Supreme Court, he said the PTI should explain before the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) the money trail of its foreign funding. He said the party should satisfy as to where it has diverted the money of donations.
The Minister said the prime minister and his children are explaining before the apex court their twenty to twenty five old year financial transactions with evidence. He said this is being done as we are answerable to the nation and the Supreme Court.
He, however, said that the double standards of the PTI stand exposed before the masses. | 2019-04-20T18:50:44 | https://nation.com.pk/23-Jan-2017/pml-n-ready-for-accountability-khawaja-asif |

Here is a listing of 10 lawn care tips which are essential for anybody with a lawn.
Lawn care tip #1 - Should you choose survive or near some dusty roads, your can be certain lawn might be suffering. Are you aware the rate of photosynthesis might be reduced despite an easy coating of dust? You have to wash the lawn with water and dish soap every couple of days or when it appears as though it requires some cleaning. Don't use anti microbial dish soap, because this leaves the lawn with yellow streaks. For more information on beachside lawn mowing, visit our website today!
Lawn care tip #2 - If you reside in an outrageous fire hazard area, then use lawn grass that will help reduce fire hazard. These lawn grass can be found at the local lawn care store. A great mixture of grass that will jobs are Canada bluegrass, wheat grass, sheep fescue, and blue gramma grass.
Lawn care tip #3 - Should there be shady sections inside your lawn, you are able to allow the shady grass grow more than the grass within the sunny sections. This helps it look better. And don't forget to prune out a few of the dense branches to allow in additional light.
Lawn care tip #4 - Earthworms are great for your lawn. Attempt to get more earthworms for your yard with organic lawn fertilizer. This can attract earthworms like ants to honey.
Lawn care tip #5 - Attempt to spread a skinny layer of organic matter around the lawn frequently. Mushroom compost is a great choice. This is actually the items that mushrooms grow within the mushroom farms. It consists of substances like horse manure, straw, gypsum, and limestone. You are able to put it on while you would regular compost.
Lawn care tip #6 - Mow the lawn with mulcher mower will help you use less fertilizer. This mower drop the chop up grass clippings towards the soil where they'll decompose faster. Typical grass clippings contain 4% nitrogen, 1% phosphorous, and threePercent potassium, that are comparable as most of the organic fertilizers.
Lawn care tip #7 - If after mowing your grass, and also the grass appears less eco-friendly and it has a tan cast, your rotor blades are most likely dull just because a sharp blade cuts the fill up departing a skinny tan line towards the top of each blade. However, a monotonous blade tears the grass departing a ragged edge along with a big wounded area that turns brown. A couple of days after mowing the grass having a dull blade, the lawn is going to be brown eco-friendly.
Lawn care tip #8 - When lawns get enough moisture they aren't worried of having trampled. However, when the grass don't get enough water, they don't have enough strength to recuperate from individuals trampling. So make certain every time you water the lawn, the moisture reaches six to eight inches underneath the surface. This helps encourage strong and deep roots that may endure periodic drought.
Lawn care tip #9 - Don't water your lawn during the night, because this is harmful to your grass. You have to be conscious that watering encourages brown patch along with other fungus illnesses. It's strongly suggested that watering the lawn be transported out between 5 and eight A.M.
Lawn care tip #10 - An excessive amount of salt in soft water can kill a lawn, so make certain that the outside faucets aren't attached to the water softener system.

After posting yesterday's Life with Lynnie (LwL) entry, I began having computer problems.
While I was spending time on Facebook (FB), all of a sudden my screen went black. And, I couldn't seem to recover anything.
Immediately, I tried booting up, again. It seemed like it was trying to reboot, but it didn't. Over and over again, I retried booting up. To no avail.
So, I searched out and found my purchase information and confirmed that I had purchased an extended warranty for this system. I had!
I telephoned Staples, where I had bought the computer. After a short discussion, it was decided that I should bring my unit in for repair on Monday, since they cannot arrange for shipping, on Sunday.
After a while, I decided to try rebooting, once again. It worked!
Wow! Was I ever happy!
I began thinking that I need to save all my stored photos and other info. I decided to burn a CD for this.
Just as I began to work on burning the CD, my screen did something different. It turned blue, with black stripes.
After trying everything I could think of to stop this screen and revert to the past screen, I finally shut my computer down, once again.
Later, I rebooted. And, I thought it was working.
A message came up, saying that the system could restore itself, possibly. After running this, it was determined that probably wasn't going to work.
Once again, I shut it down.
Thinking about how unreliable my computer was, made me think about something Jesus said in Revelation 3:15-16 Jesus said, "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."
Just thinking about my computer being unreliable seemed to resonate in my mind on the same level as those Bible verses, not just because of my human need for continuity, but also because this is what God expects from us.
With my computer acting up, it was unreliable... or lukewarm. Unable to be relied upon, fully.
In those Bible verses, the unreliability of those who God considers to be lukewarm, is obvious. He feels He cannot rely on those people.
And, He said He would, "...spue thee out of my mouth." He will have no use for them. He will throw them away.
I have been condemned by some of the lukewarm people, here on earth. Usually, they have called me names, and/or said I was a Bible thumper, or whatever came to their minds.
The truth is, that I want God to know and accept me being hot... for Him.
Being hot for Him, is honouring to God. He receives the glory that He wants when He is honoured. For me, it will bring eternal rewards.
Being cold, will have the opposite effect.
And, being lukewarm, isn't any better than being cold. Both will lead to eternal death. | 2019-04-19T08:44:36 | http://www.lifewithlynnie.com/2013/03/hot.html |
