I'm saying that the new congressional districts were deliberately drawn to force one of them out. It is not healthy for democracy if legislators choose their constituents rather than the other way around.
If a computer randomly draws the districts, it would be objective and fair, within the context of the parameters it is given.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Kenneth Smith 63, recently learned that his insurance company will no longer pay for his opioid prescriptions.
Smith uses hydrocodone, Nucynta and tizanidine to treat the pain in his neck and shoulders.
"It is a sharp pain," Smith said. "These fingers go to sleep sometimes during the day when I am doing something.
Smith's life of pain began an accident in 2006. He said he was driving his employer's vehicle when he was hit.
"I've been in pain ever since," he said.
The injury impacted him and his family so badly, Smith filed a workers compensation claim with the State of Tennessee.
Why there? He lived and worked in Tennessee at the time of the accident.
"My outcome of the claim was I was supposed to have permanent medication and care by the doctors," he said.
What was promised in his claim, it changed after January 5, 2018.
Smith received a letter from the Bureau of Workers Compensation confirming his meds were being cut off.
The letter read in part that his medical records were reviewed and they (workers comp) agreed with Sedgwick, his insurance company, to deny coverage.
No explanation if the decision was related to the opioid crisis or not or if a review determined there was abuse.
"They didn't say," he said. "They said according to their doctors I no longer need the pain medicine."
Smith and his wife are worried about his well being going forward.
"I was very upset," he said. "I'm afraid of going into withdrawals."
The Navy Veteran is very concerned about what will happen next. How will his body handle it?
Being on a fixed income he said he cannot afford to pay $480 per prescription.
The January letter did leave room for weaning him off. It stated:
"Continuation of one of the opioids for the purpose of weaning is necessary.It is suggested to discontinue one of the opioids and document the functional improvement afforded by any of the medications. "
"I understand their concerns, but people like me that is not abusing them they need to come up with something to give us for pain because our pain doesn't go away," Smith said.
We contacted both the insurance company and the Bureau of Workers Compensation in Tennessee for comment. No comment from Sedgwick, but the bureau of workers compensation provided the following statement:
"There are many legacy workers' compensation cases in Tennessee that have been using a large amount of opioids for extended periods of time. Because of this, the workers' compensation law has a utilization review process that exams the amount of opioids a physician is prescribing each month and uses a second Tennessee physician to review the case for another opinion. After that utilization review, the insurance carrier can recommend weaning a person off of opioid medications. The claimant can appeal that decision with the Tennessee Bureau of Worker's Compensation's independent medical director."
Smith did go through the Bureau's utilization review appeals process.

These Are Biggest Disasters In Gopichand Career
Not many of us knew that some of our heroes can predict a movie's fate much before its release. Chiranjeevi and Nagarjuna are capable of judging the movie during the make or at least after watching final copy, they say. That must be the reason why Chiru suggests changes to all mega films and Nagarjuna wanted to reshoot Akhil's scenes.
One more hero of our own filmdom, Gopichand seems to be the guy having that magical sense. He himself reveals it during a interview and gives the names of such films he sensed flop smell before hitting screens.
Gopichand regrets doing the films Mogudu and Ontari. He claims to have felt Ontari doesnot suit his face and image much earlier and the movie was a big dud. And everyone knows how big disaster Mogudu was. Krishna Vamsi wanted to recreate the plot of Viyyalavari Kayyalu made by Gopichand's father T Krishna, but execution went miserable leaving it as the biggest flop for our hero.
Gopichand's selection of subject can't be blamed as he knows the fate of almost all his failure films much before making them. But his guess has no value when the choice is with others who make the film with him. Sometimes Gopichand kept his doubts aside, trusting the experienced directors which finally gave him enough flops like RaaRaju, Ontari, Mogudu etc.
There is one movie where Gopichand himself walked out of the theatre in middle of the movie and also told that the movie will be flop for sure. It is Wanted in BVS Ravi direction.
Good that Gopichand had that instinct on his film subject, bad that he can't make decisions based on that all the time!

To Buy Organic Or Not To – That Is The Question
Many people struggle with this question. The case for buying Organic vegetables and fruits is that they are pesticide and GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) free. Why should we care about pesticides and GMO? In his post titled How to Find the Healthiest Fare in Meat and Produce Aisles, Dr Mercola succinctly answers this question:
"Research has shown that pesticides and other agricultural chemicals are neurotoxins and can cause disruptions to your neurological system and your brain. The reason why neurotoxins still enjoy widespread use on our fresh food supply is really more about the bottom line for farming operations than it is about the science of human health.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers 60 percent of herbicides, 90 percent of fungicides, and 30 percent of insecticides to be carcinogenic. All of these toxins are permitted on conventional farms, and any number of them can end up on your plate when you purchase conventionally-grown fruits and vegetables.
The increased use of genetically engineered Bt hybrid plants and soil insecticides also increases the chemical load in food — particularly processed foods.
These man-made neurotoxic chemicals can bioaccumulate in your body, as they resist breaking down in water and also accumulate and store in fat, where they can remain for long periods of time.
In short, this means your body has a very hard time getting rid of them once they enter your body."
The case against buying organic is:
"Published literature lacks strong evidence that organic foods are significantly more nutritious than conventional foods. (Consumption of organic foods may reduce exposure to pesticide residues and antibiotic-resistant bacteria)"
Let's face it, life is all about compromises. And Environmental Working Group (EWG) provides us with a compromise for Organic vs. Conventional in their 2013 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce™. According to this study:
"The health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables outweigh the risks of pesticide exposure. Use EWG's Shopper's Guide to Pesticides™ to reduce your exposures as much as possible, but eating conventionally-grown produce is far better than not eating fruits and vegetables at all. The Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce™ will help you determine which fruits and vegetables have the most pesticide residues and are the most important to buy organic. You can lower your pesticide intake by avoiding the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables and choosing the least contaminated produce."

According to US Grocery Shopper Trends, we make an average of 2.2 trips per week to the grocery stores. And according to The Time Use Institute, we spend 40 minutes per grocery store visit. If you add commute time of say 20 minutes per trip, we are spending a little over 2 hours per week on buying groceries. And, like me, if you shop for groceries with your children, I would add another 15 minutes per child!
One way to save time is to shop for groceries online. According to US Grocery Shopper Trends, 'at least occasionally' 12% of us buy Groceries and Beverages online and 4% of us buy Fresh Foods and Produce online. With more full service online options becoming available these trends are likely to grow.
Again, according to the US Grocery Shopper Trends:
"Those consumers who are buying groceries online do so for several reasons; convenience of home shopping (57%) and home delivery (47%) being among the top three reasons. Value or lower prices (53%) is the third driver for online shopping. In a word, online shopping makes certain aspects of grocery shopping "easier.' Consumers report that it's "easier' to find items (35%), read reviews (33%), compare prices (32%), and research products (28%)."
So if you want to shop online and save almost 2 hours per week, here are the full service online grocery stores that deliver perishable and non-perishable groceries. Although there are several stores that sell dry groceries online, only full service stores act as a one-stop-shop able to meet all of your grocery needs including fresh produce, dairy and meats.
Let me know if you know of another option near you that is not listed above!

With the New Year around the corner healthy eating is going to be on most of our New Year's resolution lists. But how many of us will be successful at consistently eating healthy in 2013?
Let's face it, the process of getting healthy meals on our plates is not always easy. When we cook at home, we face two big issues:
In order to cook at home we have to plan, buy groceries from one or more grocery stores, prep, and cook. This process takes time.
USDA's Food Plate recommends that we eat within a certain caloric range and ensure that our diet includes a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, proteins, grains and dairy. These recommendations by themselves can be very complicated to put into practice. However when you add other factors such as personal preferences (tastes, likes, dislikes), diets (Atkins, vegetarian, vegan) and other considerations (price, brand, local/organic, etc.), you end up with a highly complicated problem.
Families – especially with children – are constantly strapped for time. We simply don't have a lot of time to plan and cook healthy meals. And even if we do, we end up getting overwhelmed with managing the complexity of eating healthy. As a result of this we don't always make the best food decisions.

Fishing Report From Arkansas Game and Fish Commission
Bull Shoals
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake's elevation at 666.55 feet msl (normal conservation pool – 659 msl).
(Updated 4-29-2015) Bull Shoals Boat Dock said most of the shoreline has brush in the water. The water temperatures are in the low 60s. Bass have moved to the beds. Spotted bass are bedding as deep as 5 to 10 feet of water. Jerk baits are working well out in 10 to 15 feet of water outside the brush. Jigs fished in 5 to 15 feet of water crawled along bluffs and rocks are working as well. White bass are back in the creeks, and some good limits have come in lately. Use small white jigs, spoons and crankbaits for the best results on the white bass. Walleye fishing has been very good on deep-diving crankbaits trolled on leadcore line about 30 to 50 feet deep in 40 to 100 feet of water. There is very limited success on walleye in shallow water right now. Crappie anglers are being a bit tight-lipped, but the few that are willing to share information are catching their fish in 20 feet of water around brush on small minnows, spoons and 1/32 oz. to 1/64 oz. jigs if you can find the days when the wind will let you fish that light.
(Updated 4-29-2015) Ken Minsky of Ken Minksy's Loch Leven Guide Service said recent rain and cooler weather has caused the surface temperature in the mid-lake area (Point 24) to drop to around 60 degrees. Many of the largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass have completed spawning. Males will still be found guarding the beds and should continue to for the next couple weeks. Smallmouth are biting well near soft secondary points on jigs presented at depths from 18 to 35 feet. Largemouth are moving into the shallows after dark and feeding in and around the buck brush on small bluegills and crawfish. Now would be a good time to use buzzbaits and flukes to coax hits from fish holding near the brush. Walleye are hitting well on crankbaits trolled at 20 to 25 feet. Many hits are coming from suspended baits diving to the 12- to 14-foot level. Banks in the creek arms and secondary points are providing the most action. Bluegill are moving into shallower water, however, the larger 8- to 9-inch fish are staying deeper and being caught 18 to 30 feet deep. Many are suspending in the creek arms over the old creek bed in depths up to 40 feet. Small black and brown jigs are producing the most fish. Catfish have also moved into the creek arms and trotline fishermen are doing well using small bluegills for bait.
(Updated 4-29-2015) Steve Curtis at S&S; Guide Service (870-740-1140) had no report.
White River (Bull Shoals Tailwater)
(Updated 5-6-2015) Sportsman's White River Resort (870-453-2424) said about four to six generators are running, so drift fishing is the way to go right now. Shrimp and worms are taking a few rainbows. Brown trout will bite better on Rooster Tails and other artificial lures.
(Updated 5-6-2015) Paul Bobby at GI on the Fly Guide Service (907-350-6610) said the White River below the dam to Wildcat Shoals has been fishing extremely well. For the bait fishermen, the redworm bite is on. High fluctuating waters are washing worms off the banks taking them downriver to feeding trout. Fish a size 6 Aberdeen hook and an 1/8-oz. bell sinker. If you don't want to mess with worms, simply try red, pink or orange Power Worms fishing the same way and you will have results. Fly-fishermen have been enjoying large numbers of trout during high generation, dropping a large black nymph 10 plus feet under an indicator with a BB-size split shot. Under that, 18 or 24 inches fish a red, brown, pink or burgundy San Juan worm under you nymph and its fish on! Further downriver in faster current, try a Madam X caddis dry fly size 12 in emerald with a caddis pupa dropper. Browns are looking and eating on the surface.
(Updated 5-6-2015) Berry Brothers Guide Service (870-453-2424) said there's been heavy generation on the White River, with very limited wadable water. Due to recent rains, all of the lakes on this system are well above seasonal power pool and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is aggressively releasing water to draw the lake levels down to power pool. On heavy generation, the best way to catch fish is to switch to longer leaders and heavier weight. On the White, the hot spot was the catch-and-release section at Rim Shoals. The hot flies were olive woolly buggers (sizes 8 to 10), Y2Ks (sizes 14 to 12), prince nymphs (size 14), zebra midges (black with silver wire and silver bead or red with silver wire and silver bead (sizes 16 to18), pheasant tails (size 14), ruby midges (size 18), root beer midges (size 18), pink and cerise San Juan worms (size 10), and sowbugs (size 16). Double-fly nymph rigs have been very effective (try a prince nymph with a ruby midge or root beer midge suspended below it). There have been several reliable sightings of caddis hatching. This is our major hatch of the year. They are size 14 and are easy to see. Before the hatch, you should concentrate on fishing prince nymphs. When the trout key on the top but no insects are present, switch over to my green butt. When you observe trout taking adult insects from the top of the water column, you should switch over to elk hair caddis dry flies.
Lake Norfork
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake's elevation at 557.92 feet msl (normal conservation pool: September-April – 553.75 msl, April-September – 556.75 msl).
(Updated 4-29-2015) Guide Steve Olomon said the lake level is up about a half foot from last week and the water temperature has dropped a few degrees into the low-to mid-60s. The main lake is clear and the creeks are starting to clear. Some stripers and hybrids are coming up early chasing baitfish. We have been throwing jointed Redfins to them. The will also hit a Zara Spook and a swimbait. They come up better if the water is slick with little or no wind. If they aren't coming up, I throw a 4-inch swimbait and reel it slowly. They are hitting live bait as well. The night bite seems to get a little later these past few nights. Throw a stickbait to the bank and retrieve it very slowly. You can also pick up some walleye. Some bass are coming up as well along with a few whites hitting Spooks and swim baits. There are a few coming up just before dark back in the creeks.
(Updated 4-29-2015) Tom Reynolds of STR Outfitters said Unstable weather patterns continue to wreak havoc on the fish. Each time we get the warm southern winds and a warming trend, the weather changes and drives the fish and bait from the shallows. The water is clear on the main lake and creeks are off color, the creeks continue to be the warmest water on the lake. Some stripers and hybrids are starting to bite on top at first light, however if there is any type of wind the fish seem to shut down. Also if its an east wind they will shut down totally. The main lake water temperature has dropped to the low-60s and the creeks are in the high 60s. The bait continues to move in and out of the shallows. We need a strong warming trend to bring the bait in to spawn. The crappie are being caught on deeper brush piles and in open water trolling jigs and minnows. Most of the crappie are not in the shallows. I have been watching the crappie guides fish the shallow brush and not many fish are being caught. Stay in deep water. One trick I use to use was to troll a minnow tipped white 1/8-oz. Road Runner over the brush piles in East Pigeon, Pigeon, and Brushy and Big Creek with great success. This works best when the crappie are staging to spawn
(Updated 4-29-2015) Lou Gabric of Hummingbird Hideaway Resort said fishing continues to be very strong. The striped bass bite has been very good in the morning and the bite is still happening after dark. The bite starts as early 5:45 a.m., and the best lures have been trolled 5-inch swim baits with a 1/4 ounce jigheads. Most of my fish have been found on shallow flats in about 20 feet of water, but the fish are coming up for it. Topwater action started about a week ago and I got really excited, but several cool fronts rolled though that all but shut down the topwater action. I do expect it to take off again once we start getting some consistently warmer days. With this being said, always be ready with a topwater bait because the top water eruptions could happen at any time. Look for stripers off of points part way back into creeks and if there is a flat area close by, check it out for feeding fish. Once the sun comes up the fish seem to move out into deeper water. I am finding scattered fish along deep bluff lines later in the morning. The largemouth and spotted bass bite continues to be strong. You will find these species up tight on the banks early in the morning and then they will move off of the banks to 15 to 30 feet of water during sunny days. Topwater baits are working, as are small crank baits and plastics. I threw a tube jig and a jig and pig a few days ago and landed some nice fish. I have been marking plenty of bass suspended close to the deep bluff lines. Rattle traps are a great bait to get these suspended fish. Smallmouth bass are starting to show up in 15 to 20 feet of water. Grubs and jigs are a great way to fish for this species. The big white bass are starting to show up in the mid creek areas. Similar locations as the striped bass. They are also hitting similar baits. Once you find the whites you might want to try to cast out a blade type bait such as a Kastmaster and let it sink down to their depth then retrieve slowly. If you find these fish on the bottom you can vertical jig this bait, it is very effective.
North Fork River (Norfork Tailwater)
(Updated 4-22-2015) Brad Smith at Arkansas Headhunters (479-283-8490) had no report.(Updated 5-6-2015) Berry Brothers Guide Service (870-453-2424) said the Norfork has seen heavy generation with little wadable water, but has fished a little better recently. The most productive flies have been small midge patterns (sizes 18 to 22) like ruby midges, root beer midges, zebra midges (black or red with silver wire and silver bead) and soft hackles (sizes 14 to 16) like the green butt. Egg patterns have also been productive. Double-fly nymph rigs have been very effective. Try a small bead headed nymph (zebra midge, copper John or pheasant tail) suspended 18 inches below a brightly colored San Juan worm (hot fluorescent pink or cerise). There have been reliable hatches of small midges (try a size 24 Adams parachute) and caddis (try a size 18 elk hair caddis).The fishing is better in the morning and late afternoon and tapers off midday.
Buffalo River
(Updated 5-6-2015) Berry Brothers Guide Service said the Buffalo National River and Crooked Creek are stained and high. With the weather warming, the smallmouths should be active soon. Carefully check the water level before entering Crooked Creek or the Buffalo River. There are no dams on these streams. They both have large drainages and are prone to flooding during and following any rain event. The water can rise very quickly.
Crooked Creek
(Updated 5-6-2015) Berry Brothers Guide Service said the Buffalo National River and Crooked Creek are stained and high. With the weather warming, the smallmouths should be active soon. Carefully check the water level before entering Crooked Creek or the Buffalo River. There are no dams on these streams. They both have large drainages and are prone to flooding during and following any rain event. The water can rise very quickly.

BBC: ANC decides Zuma must go13 February 2018 | 15:22 | FOCUS News Agency
The decision to "recall" him "urgently" followed marathon talks of the ANC's top leadership body.
Mr Zuma, 75, agreed to step down, but only in the next three to six months, the official added.
Mr Zuma, who has been in power since 2009, has been dogged by corruption allegations.
But he has resisted increasing pressure to quit since December, when Cyril Ramaphosa replaced him as leader of the ANC.
Ace Magashule, the ANC's secretary-general, told reporters the ANC's National Executive Committee (NEC) decided the removal should be "treated with urgency".
"It is obvious we want Comrade Ramaphosa to come in as the president of South Africa," he added.

oh dear...
by boomclarenApr 9th 2010
so...it's not been a cracking week really.
played in a rugby 7's tournament on sunday and broke my hand, 1st meta-carpal, non-displaced and straight and only a little crack so not too bad. then my sodding little brother gave me his cold which wouldn't bother me really except i've got a marathon on sunday so hoping to shift it before then. and to throw a spanner in the works i've gone to my parents house for my mum's birthday and she drove over my ankle about 35 minutes ago, it's a wee bit sore fingers crossed for sunday.
i suppose one benefit is that it's forced me into a few rest days.

Evaluation of a Patient Care Delivery Model: System Outcomes in Acute Cardiac Care
Hierarchical linear modelling was used to evaluate the influence of nurse staffing, work environment, and nurse and patient variables on system outcomes based on data collected in Canadian cardiac and cardiovascular inpatient units. Staffing utilization levels below 80% at the unit level and less overtime optimized perceived care quality and the completion of therapeutic interventions. Fewer patients per nurse improved perceived care quality and reduced longer-thanexpected length of stay. Nurse reports of greater resource adequacy were associated with less absenteeism and fewer uncompleted or delayed nursing interventions. System outcomes were also influenced by patient characteristics (health, pre-operative education, nursing diagnoses); nurse characteristics (experience, expertise, health, effort-reward imbalance); and work-environment factors (autonomy, unit instability).

I Baked a Cake!
The paper is Bo Bunny 'Back to Basics', the sentiment stamp is from the 'Fabulous Birthday' set by Hero Arts, and the spotty ribbon is from Hobbycraft. I followed the sketch from the Lili of the Valley Challenge, and am also entering this card into a few other challenges: C.R.A.F.T. - 'Cakes/Ice cream'; Raise the Bar - 'Baked Goodies'; and Pollycraft - 'Bold & Bright'.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.
Texas is now a cornerstone of the electoral college for Republicans.
Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.
Social Security, a critically important, great program which does serve as the cornerstone of support for senior citizens, now faces challenges that threaten its long-term stability and well-being. The facts are there. The facts are crystal clear.
Education is the cornerstone of our communities and our country.
To me, forgiveness is the cornerstone of healing.
I tell you, in my opinion, the cornerstone of democracy is free press - that's the cornerstone.
It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label.
Healthcare is the cornerstone of the socialist state. It is the crown jewel of the welfare state.
I believe in the literal rising of the body of Christ. It's the cornerstone of my Christian faith.
Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist.
And the cornerstone of my economic policies, when I first got elected, was cutting taxes on everybody on who paid taxes.
Black beans and soy beans are the cornerstones of longevity diets around the world.
For the baby boomer generation, a home is now seen not as the cornerstone of advancement but a ball and chain, restricting their ability and their mobility to move and seek out a job at another location.

Tom Galli reacted to a post in a topic: Carboplatin, Paclitaxel & Radiation for Stage IIB Adenocarcinoma
Tom Galli replied to EileenO's topic in INTRODUCE YOURSELF!Eileen, I'd say your PET scan is a cause for celebration! Mild uptake and a small nodule could be anything at all. A biopsy could yield certainty but 8 mm is a very small target. Let's hope the interventional radiologist has a sharp aim! Stay the course. Tom
Tom Galli replied to bes's topic in IMMUNOTHERAPYBes, I agree. When I've had confusing scan reports, I called or messaged my medical oncologist and asked that actual film be available during our consultation. I have a very seasoned medical oncologist and he's treated me from day one. We've called up actual scans on the computer and looked at what the radiologist saw, then looked at historicals and things became less confusing. You are right about having different radiologist doing interpretation. Your medical oncologist can always send the scan back for reinterpretation. I'd mention that. Stay the course. Tom

Your thoughts...
Tom Galli replied to Kim Y's topic in GENERALKim, Family and friends are well intended but, in my diagnostic phase, not well informed. I spent hours chasing down one miracle cure after another from the very concerned and well meaning who were most concerned about my diagnosis. My mother was especially challenging and was broadcasting everything she heard from her family and friends. After about 3 weeks of mayhem, I finally had to tell everyone I'd had enough medical advice. That didn't stop everyone; my mother was especially persistent. About midway into my third line treatment, I discovered an on-line cancer website and gave those close to me the link so they could read about my treatment experience. More important, they could read about other cancer survivors treatment experience and that combination of information and insight turned down the volume on the miracle cure or "tell your doc to try this" advice. You can use this site as a source of information if you think that would help. Alternatively, you could refer folks to Lung Cancer 101 at the LUNGevity website so they could read into our disease and perhaps understand what you are experiencing. Diagnostic delay is hard to tolerate. I endured about 3 weeks of coughing up blood that made going out in public embarrassing. But in those 3 weeks, diagnostics determined my type and stage and set the course for my treatment. Once a treatment plan was established, things moved quickly but there were still delays. While in first line pre-surgical treatment, the radiation machine experienced a technical fault that took about 3 days to correct, and I worried that each day of missed radiation would allow my tumor to spread like wildfire. They just added 3 additional treatment days to the end of my scheduled plan, and the radiation oncologist said treatment plans were designed to accommodate interruptions. Lung cancer to the newly diagnosed is a very difficult concept to understand. It is a serious, life threatening disease and for most, it is the first such encounter. There is a new vocabulary to master with baffling drug names and strange acronyms. And, there is unsettling uncertainty to deal with. The only comfort I can offer is most here have been down your path and are still hanging around the forum. Your doctor is giving good counsel. Lung cancer affects individuals and each of us is different. That difference means the best possible schedule expectation is always a rough order of magnitude estimate. A projection of 3 weeks of diagnostics could easily turn into 6 weeks, especially with the new biomarker biopsy testing. But this testing is essential because targeted therapies and immunotherapy are very effective treatment methods. So.... Stay the course. Tom

Monday, October 15, 2007
I took the opportunity to avail myself of a non-performing company which was originally purchased based on the "turnaround" theme. The company in question is Global Voice and I am happy to report that it no longer takes a place in my portfolio as I had sold it off at 17 cents on October 3, 2007, incurring a loss of about 4.2%. This coincided with Global Voice's announcement that they were issuing EURO 35 million worth of convertible bonds, and I had written in a separate posting how this was likely to adversely affect the cash flows for the company, thus making it the last straw for me to sell.
The STI continues to make new highs, even briefly touching the 3,900 point mark before retreating. SGX has unveiled a new set of 30 stocks comprising the new, revamped STI (in collaboration with FTSE) which will be implemented on January 1, 2008. In addition, there will also be new indices for China stocks, oil and gas and mid-cap, to name a few.
Below is the summary of my investments and related news as at October 15, 2007 (STI at 3,862.02 points):-
1) Ezra (Vested since October 6, 2005) - Buy Price $1.30 (bonus adjusted), Market Price $6.90, Gain 431%. On October 1 and 5, 2007, Ezra announced the successful sale of 51.1% of EOC Limited (including April 2007's sale), leaving Ezra with only 48.9%. They will thus equity account for EOC's results from FY 2008 onwards and this is in line with their practice of being asset-light. The proceeds from the sale will be used for vessel fleet expansion, working capital, acquisitions as well as a dividend to shareholders. Ezra are due to report their FY 2007 results on October 16, 2007 (Tuesday) after market close. I will be doing a review of their results about 2 to 3 days after the release, in order to compile the information and analyze the numbers.
2) Boustead (Vested since September 13, 2006; averaged down November 13, 2006) - Buy Price $1.295 (average), Market Price $2.38, Gain 83.8%. There was no news from Boustead in the half-month ended October 15, 2007.
3) Swiber (Vested since February 14, 2007) - Buy Price $1.01, Market Price $3.80, Gain 276.2%. Swiber had announced more details of their sale and leaseback on October 1, 2007, in which US$95 million would be received in cash progressively and the company will book in a gain of US$33 million which represented the excess of proceeds over book value of US$62 million. The disposal needs to be approved at an EGM to be held at a future date. My previous posting also mentioned that the Group had purchased 4 new vessels (2 subsea and 2 10,000 bhp AHTS) in an effort to expand their capabilities into deep-water. The vessels will be delivered between 4Q FY 2009 and 1Q FY 2010.
4) Suntec REIT (Vested since December 9, 2004) - Buy Price $1.11, Market Price $1.91, Gain 72.1%. There was no further news on Suntec REIT besides the fact that the resolutions were approved at the EGM held on October 8, 2007.
5) Pacific Andes (Vested since March 29, 2006; Rights Issue July 11, 2007 at S$0.52 per share; averaged down August 17, 2007) - Buy Price $0.655 (rights-adjusted), Market Price $0.835, Gain 27.5%. On October 10, 2007, China Fishery announced the acquisition of a 7th fishmeal processing plant in Chimbote for US$15.3 million. This plant can process 60% steam-dried fishmeal and 40% flame-dried fishmeal and will increase the Group's total fishmeal processing capacity to 549 tonnes per hour. The acquisition will be funded from the proceeds of the senior notes due 2013.
Overall Portfolio
My overall portfolio has increased by 146.9% from an adjusted cost of S$43.2K (less the cost of Global Voice) as at October 15, 2007. The market value of my portfolio is about S$106.7K and unrealized gains total S$63.5K. Realized gains have dropped slightly to S$3.94K to reflect the realized loss taken on Global Voice.
Comparison against STI
The STI was 3,037.74 on January 3, 2007. It is currently at 3,862.02 today, representing a gain of 27.1%.
Adjustment of cost to ensure consistency of comparison – My cost and market value were S$33.9K and S$46.0K respectively as at Jan 3, 2007 while my current adjusted cost (after selling Global Voice) is about S$43.2K. Thus, I will adjust the market value of my holdings as at Jan 3, 2007 according to the % difference in cost in order to ensure a fair comparison. After adjustment, the new market value will be about S$58.6K. The market value of my holdings as at today is S$106.7K. This represents an increase of about 82.1%.
Thus, as at Oct 15, 2007, my portfolio has risen by a gain of 55 percentage points higher than the STI.
My next portfolio review will be on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 after market close.

Pretty good returns. Keep up the good work. It does not matter whether one is a growth investor (like me) or a value investor, as long as one makes money ;-)

I had GV some time back. sold off at a profit. didnt want to look at it again. Reasons are:
1) it is a capital intensive business. always issuing convertible bonds and diluting current shareholders interest.
2) the huge amount of shares outstanding. Even if it made profits in the future, the EPS will likely be low.
As a value investor, the 2 points above are precisely what you dont want to see.

Hi MM,
Thanks, I believe growth and value investing are closely tied together, so perhaps our methods are not so different after all. :)

Hi level13,
Thanks for the reminder on GV. I am glad to be able to cut loss and learn from my mistake. An investor gets better and better from the mistakes learnt, as long as he does not repeat them. I agree that companies with huge share floats (e.g. Memstar) cannot easily increase their EPS. What Management needs to do is to initiate a share buy-back assuming the company has sufficient cash, in order to enhance EPS.
Glad you managed to sell GV at a profit. Cheers !
Regards, Musicwhiz

Accurate HRTF (head related transfer function)
measurement associated with a human head is often very much emphasized in the field
of virtual sound rendering employing either a headphone set or a multi-channel
speaker system. So far what's commonly referred to as HRTF data is mostly
limited to measurement in the far field: The sound source is located at
distances greater than 1 m from the center of the human head or so called 'dummy head microphone
system'. Numerous far field
HRTF data and their characteristics corresponding to changes in amplitude and
phase depending on source locations have been well documented and are available
in literature. However, this alone is not adequate to create a fully immersive
sound field describing a virtual sound source at an arbitrary position. With
current systems that involve these HRTF data, the listeners often cannot
distinguish front from rear and above from below regarding the source position.
Thus various methods have been suggested to improve the performance of common virtual
sound systems, and our approach is via complementation of HRTF library by
including near-field HRTF measurements associated with sound sources located
within 1m radius of the head center. At SDAC
Laboratory in KAIST,
we are currently
developing an experimental
setup to accurately
measure near-field
HRTFs using a dummy
head microphone

About this title
The only authorized full-color book commemorating Derek Jeter's iconic baseball career with the New York Yankees, featuring archival images and original photos of his final 2014 season from renowned photographer Christopher Anderson.
Derek Jeter's twentieth and final season in Major League Baseball truly marks the end of a sports era. The New York Yankees' shortstop—a five-time World Series victor, team captain since 2003, and one of the greatest ballplayers of all time—is a beloved and inspiring role model who displays the indefinable qualities of a champion, on and off the field.
Jeter Unfiltered is a powerful collection of never-before-published images taken over the course of Derek's final season. Fans will have unprecedented access to "The Captain," as the famously private baseball legend takes us behind the scenes—inside his home, the stadium, the gym, at his Turn 2 Foundation events, fortieth birthday party, and more—as he looks back with candor and gratitude on his baseball career. The result is an intimate portrait bursting with personality, professionalism, and pride.
Jeter Unfiltered is Jeter as you have never seen him before: unguarded, unapologetic...unfiltered.
Derek Jeter is a fourteen-time All-Star and five-time World Series winner who has played for one team—the storied New York Yankees—for all twenty seasons of his major league career. His grace and class on and off the field have made him an icon and role model far beyond the world of baseball.

Iraq Diaries UNCERTAINTY… Riverbend, Baghdad Burning (30 March 2006)
"I sat late last night switching between Iraqi channels. It's a late-night tradition for me when there's electricity- to see what the Iraqi channels are showing. I was reading the little scrolling news headlines on the bottom…Suddenly, one of them caught my attention and I sat up straight on the sofa, wondering if I had read it correctly. The line said: 'The Ministry of Defense requests that civilians do not comply with the orders of the army or police on nightly patrols unless they are accompanied by coalition forces working in that area.'" Award-winning Iraqi Blogger Riverbend writes about death and uncertaintly in this chilling post.
News & Analysis NEVER ENDING FUNDING FOR THE NEVER ENDING IRAQ WAR: A DISCUSSION OF THE PENDING SUPPLEMENTAL SPENDING BILL Jeff Leys, Voices for Creative Nonviolence (28 March 2006)
Once again, Congress is poised to approve "emergency" funding to prosecute the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The House already approved $67.5 billion on March 16, 2006-rushing the bill through the Appropriations Committee and the House floor in order to get home in time for St. Patrick's Day.
The Media BRIEFING ON MEDIA ACCUSATIONS AGAINST CHRISTIAN PEACEMAKER TEAMS Media Analysis, Ekklesia (27 March 2006)
27 March 2006 — Since Christian peace activist Norman Kember returned to Britain on 23 March 2006, following four months of captivity in Iraq, numerous media outlets have printed hostile, inaccurate, poorly researched and sometime vitriolic accusations against him and his colleagues. Ekklesia, the respected UK religious think tank, published an analysis to clarify those major misconceptions which are in danger of being received as 'facts' in some quarters. The concern is to seek the truth of the situation and present information which, in spite of being made available to media sources, is still overlooked.
News & Analysis STATEMENTS BY FORMER HOSTAGES JIM LONEY AND HARMEET SOODEN Jim Loney and Harmeet Sooden, Statement (27 March 2006)
"During my captivity, I sometimes entertained myself by imagining this day. Sometimes I despaired of ever seeing it. Always I ached for it. And so here we are. For 118 days I disappeared into a black hole, and somehow by God's grace I was spit out again. My head is swirling and there are times when I can hardly believe it's true. We had to wear flak jackets during our helicopter transport from the International Zone to the Baghdad airport, and I had to keep knocking on the body armour I was wearing to reassure myself that this was all really happening."
News & Analysis FREED CPT HOSTAGE NORMAN KEMBER'S STATEMENT TO THE MEDIA Norman Kember, Statement (27 March 2006)
On Saturday, Norman Kember read a statement to the media: "There's a real sense in which you are interviewing the wrong person. It's the ordinary people of Iraq that you should be talking to. Those are the people who have suffered so much over so many years and still await the stable and just society that they deserve."

Sometimes Cuinn works the night shift. Which I hate. Mostly. One of the best things, the only thing really, that I love about him working the night shift is that he gets to be here for the morning time routine. I love that he gets to sleep in with his daughter. Aislynn usually wakes at about 7 for a feeding, but then goes back to sleep until 11ish. Cuinn loves to sleep in. Like, really loves it. I, on the other hand, have become a morning person since becoming a mommy. I just like to be up in the morning. My favorite time of the day is the morning when Cuinn is here. My husband and my daughter lay in bed, having a cuddle, and I get to be all by myself for a couple hours. This morning I folded some laundry, read a chapter of my book, showered and dressed myself. It's so nice to be by myself to do grown up things without having to do it all one handed while holding my baby in the other arm. I also love how much Cuinn and Aislynn adore each other. I have fallen in love with my husband all over again watching how he interacts with our daughter. I love watching Aislynn look at her daddy with such adoration in her eyes. I love hearing Cuinn and her speak in their secret language. My heart almost bursts with joy watching my family. I thank God daily for my wonderful husband and my gorgeous daughter.
The other part of the day that I love?
When I get to join in on the cuddle time with Cuinn and Aislynn. I really miss them when I'm by myself.

Please pray for her. She is going to need strength, our prayers, our love, and our support.

Most screen actors roll with the flow of moviemaking, content to be ''directors' actors,'' as the saying goes, to let their talents be shaped to whatever project is at hand.
''But there are those of us who want to be more in control,'' Mel Gibson explained last year. He was speaking of his job of directing on Braveheart, long before he had any inkling that the film might earn a raft of Oscar nominations - 10 in all, including best picture and best director - for the 68th Academy Awards.

Wow, Paula - you've been busy! I laughed with delight when I saw your 'many faces'. And you have some wonderful LOs going here. If this is what you do when you are too cold, well, we certainly benefit!!
Trust you have some heat before too long though - it's not funny being cold too long. While you have been cold, I have had a week of electrical storms keeping me away from the phone and the computer. Oh - work has also gotten in the way of crafting! There will be something new on my blog before I go to bed tonight tho - I am determIned!

We didn't buy any bread this week, little girl didn't want me to bake either, thus ended up with the pasta again.
It was a quick bento, just cook the pasta, preheat the sauce, cut the grapes and pack into box, took approximately 15 minutes.
The very last batch of transport pasta with bolognese sauce
Apples wedges and grape hearts
Stretching My Imagination has asked me how to make the grape hearts, with the help of little girl, here are the grape heart making pictorial :)
1. Wash the grapes
2. Cut the grapes half slantingly
3. Turn one of the halve grape upside down, so that they are having the similar shapes at the same position
4. Join the cut part together to form a heart
5. Skewer with a food pick to hold the shape, done.

Stability Analysis and Nonlinear Observer Design using Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Models
149,98 €
Stability Analysis and Nonlinear Observer Design using Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Models
Many problems in decision making, monitoring, fault detection, and control require the knowledge of state variables and time-varying parameters that are not directly measured by sensors. In such situations, observers, or estimators, can be employed that use the measured input and output signals along with a dynamic model of the system in order to estimate the unknown states or parameters. An essential requirement in designing an observer is to guarantee the convergence of the estimates to the true values or at least to a small neighborhood around the true values. However, for nonlinear, large-scale, or time-varying systems, the design and tuning of an observer is generally complicated and involves large computational costs. This book provides a range of methods and tools to design observers for nonlinear systems represented by a special type of a dynamic nonlinear model -- the Takagi--Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model. The TS model is a convex combination of affine linear models, which facilitates its stability analysis and observer design by using effective algorithms based on Lyapunov functions and linear matrix inequalities. Takagi--Sugeno models are known to be universal approximators and, in addition, a broad class of nonlinear systems can be exactly represented as a TS system. Three particular structures of large-scale TS models are considered: cascaded systems, distributed systems, and systems affected by unknown disturbances. The reader will find in-depth theoretic analysis accompanied by illustrative examples and simulations of real-world systems. Stability analysis of TS fuzzy systems is addressed in detail. The intended audience are graduate students and researchers both from academia and industry. For newcomers to the field, the book provides a concise introduction dynamic TS fuzzy models along with two methods to construct TS models for a given nonlinear system
State of the art of designing fuzzy observersWritten by leading experts Provides a range of methods and tools to design observers for nonlinear systems

What's The Buzz?
A mis-attributed quote last week on sample size, pep talks on selling advertising, search engines' lack of editorial integrity and unfair relevancy techniques, and content dictates the value of any CPM.
A mis-attributed quote last week on sample size, pep talks on selling advertising, search engines' lack of editorial integrity and unfair relevancy techniques, and content dictates the value of any CPM.
We were wrong and we don't mind admitting it. Last week we attributed to Tim Lee a post on I-Advertising that actually came from Robert Roe. It was Robert who said "Experienced people can make intuitive judgements based on a small amount of information that prove as useful, and less expensive."
But Tim does agree with Robert's statement, explaining "if we have Prior knowledge about CTR, we are able to reduce the sample size significantly" and save tons of money by doing so. Tim explained how and why in copious detail as the sample size discussion continued.
The source of the sample size problem, suggested Doug Bates, is a communications gap between the marketer and the researcher. "The marketer's implicit question is different from what the researcher is interpreting, and the marketer doesn't know how to articulate what it is they really want," he wrote.
There were more responses to Jim Dattilo's post last week in which he asked about profitable ways of getting more people to a content site, and Yevgeniy Leshchinskiy asked a related question about how to sell advertising on his site.
Responding to Jim, Linda Wise recalled the days in which Wall Street City was spending $70k a month for online advertising. "Our advertising sales certainly didn't keep up with our promotional spending at that point," she said, "but we used the traffic we generated to build our credibility with advertisers and customers alike. We kept our site fresh, which encouraged people to keep coming back, and developed other less expensive marketing programs to build even more site traffic and support our banner advertising campaigns. Within a few months, our site was at a million impressions per month, which enabled us to sell advertising to larger national accounts. We were also able to cut back on our promotional spending because we had established our audience."
Rob Griffin and Geoff Payson both delivered get out there and sell, sell, sell pep talks. "If you want to sell advertising on your site you are going to have to look for it," Geoff wrote, "And offer something that will work for the advertiser. Beyond that you have got to make calls, follow up calls and catch the client at the right time. You have to be busy and lucky. Not too many media buyers surf the net to stop in and buy your banner space. Bring the space to them and sell them on you first."
The simile of the week on I-Advertising was Chris Donaldson's comparison of web advertising to the state of films when talkies were first introduced in the late 20's.
"At first, there was a revolt among filmgoers and many filmmakers, all claiming that this 'new breed' of cinema was contrary to the 'art' and would be nothing but short-lived," Chris wrote. "For a brief period, everyone stared at one another not knowing who would be right. But in the end, the champion once again won out –content. For as audiences realized that this new technology delivered better stories, they quickly abandoned any arguments they may have had and lined up, cash in hand. So too the Internet. We're caught in that great moment when all of us are wondering 'Is this rich media stuff really going to work?' Though I believe the answer is a resounding yes, the trick is still the same. Content will ultimately dictate the value of any CPM."
AltaVista's decision to test the pay-per-click model was, once again, the major discussion topic on Online Ads.
When a search engine sacrifices relevancy to commercialism it's doomed itself," wrote Akilesh Rajan. "Once an engine starts to change a business model, you gotta know there's a bigger problem somewhere," added Matthew da Silva.
If AltaVista doesn't clearly distinguish paid listings, as GoTo does, it's deceptive, wrote Robert J. Woodhead, who thinks AltaVista's minimum bid price of $0.25 for a clickthrough is "outrageously high."
In a long, albeit articulate post, GoTo.com president and CEO Jeffrey Brewer said AltaVista's actions don't go far enough to benefit users. It adds two advertising places "without allowing the free market to affect the relevancy of the search listings," he wrote, adding, "To allow the free market to sort for relevancy and deliver more relevant results, a search engine has to do it all the way or not at all."
Search Engine Watch Editor Danny Sullivan said the current crawling and ranking system used by most search engines is inherently unfair. "We need something else, and paid listings probably have their place."
Jim Meskauskas voiced concern that pay-for-placement "ploys" compromise search engines' editorial integrity. Online Ads Moderator Richard Hoy replied that the engines have no editorial credibility to compromise. "They can be (and are) manipulated in a variety of ways to forward someone's marketing agenda."
There was, of course, more on Online Ads than just AltaVista. Mark J. Welch was ticked to the point of considering legal action about a flood of email from AllAdvantage.com, which he described as an MLM pyramid scheme that promises to pay people for surfing the web. He wanted to know to whom he could air his gripe. He found a buddy in Mike Gnitecki, who had the same problem, emailed the company and got a response from its Spam Control Manager (firstname.lastname@example.com) to the effect that it's not them spamming but "some of our users." Mike wasn't impressed.
Apparently Leo Sheiner is still bristling from Jim Reardon's charge that Leo's safe-audit.com "allows and condones fraud." Leo posted his reply, which sounded to us exactly like the one he posted a couple of weeks ago when Jim first leveled the accusation.
And Tim Lee wrote to clarify the comments he made and we reported on last week about branding. He said that a web business (instead of Procter &Gamble) and a web business brand (instead of a product brand) should be used as an example to illustrate why branding is important and why the Internet is not the right place for branding a web business. "We cannot use an apple as an example but then make a conclusion about an orange."

The passing away of Abdul Sattar Edhi in Karachi has highlighted how philanthropy and social work can transform lives of people in developing countries like Pakistan.
On Saturday thousands of people turned up at the National Stadium to pay their last respects to country's most revered person.
This was the first ever state funeral for a common man in the 69 year history of the country.
The death of 88-year old philanthropist has saddened 200 million Pakistanis especially the workers of Edhi Foundation, the social work system established by him about 6 decades ago.
For Zameer Ahmad, who is in charge of Edhi Foundation's Lahore office, the death of great humanitarian , Abdul Sattar Edhi's death is like passing away of his own father.
Baba Edhi could not visit Lahore and other upcountry towns of Pakistan after 2009 due to his failing health but the social work carried out by late Edhi is at par with the one done by Mother Teresa of Calcutta (Kolkata) that helped her win a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, he says.
Millions of Pakistanis note that Edhi has not been given the prize despite his lifetime social welfare commitment and work in Pakistan and other parts of the world. They have showered praise on Edhi as an angel of mercy and even a living saint.
Big Loss for Humanity…May Allah rest his soul in heaven. Ameen
Ại̹nãạ lil̃hi wāi̹nãạ ại̹laẙhi rājiʿwna
Big Loss for Humanity…May Allah rest his soul in heaven. AmeenThe Richest Poor Man! May ALLAH Grant Edhi sb high ranks in Jannah. #edhi you are pride of this nation. Hazaron Saal Nargis Apni Benoori Pe Roti Hai
Bari Mushkil Se Hota Hai Chaman Mein Didahwar Paida
Born on January 1, 1928 in the Indian State of Gujarat, young Edhi migrated to Karachi after the establishment of Pakistan in 1947.
It was his mother's ailment during his young age that inspired Abdul Sattar Edhi to develop a system of services for the old, mentally ill and disadvantaged people.
Beginning his career as a cloth vendor, he stepped into the field of social work by setting up a free dispensary in downtown Karachi with the financial help of the Gujarati community.
Later, he founded the non-governmental organization Edhi Foundation that has its offices almost in all the 106 districts of Pakistan and Kashmir over the last 6 decades.
Besides providing shelter to the homeless and the poor , mainly abandoned by their own families, Edhi Foundation has been instrumental in rehabilitating over 50,000 orphans.
It has also an ambulance service to shift the injured to the hospitals and the dead to the mortuaries. Cradles are available outsides Edhi centres to receive abandoned and unwanted infants.
According to estimates, the Edhi Foundation has rescued over 20,000 infants from being killed by their own parents.
Outside Pakistan, Edhi had also been active in serving the suffering humanity in the world.
Edhi , the son of Pakistani nation presently facing all sorts of ethnic, religious, linguistic and religious fault lines, was a symbol of honesty and bankable financial integrity.
There are many other NGOs in Pakistan but the people preferred to give donations to Edhi Foundation as they had compete trust in the person of Abdul Sattar Edhi.
The philanthropist had been offered the top slots in various political parties but he subtly refused offers as this was not his cup of tea.
After the death of Edhi, Pakistanis have come up with a number of proposals to acknowledge the services of the philanthropist including the naming of new airport of the Federal Capital as Edhi International and posthumous awards and medals for him.
But the best award may lie in continuing his mission to serve disadvantaged humanity without any discrimination on the basis of color, creed and religion. Edhi has departed from this world but the tremendous humanitarian work he did must go on.

Food, Inc.
Honestly, it's a slightly disturbing movie, but really informative about how the food industry is working in our country right now. The writers of this movie brought together a number of different people, such as Michael Pollan (In Defense of Food), Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), and farmers, like Joel Salatin (Polyface, Inc.) and other people who have been seriously affected by the food industry and are now advocates for food safety.

Friday Night
Next, we went down to Greek Town, near the casino, to stop in at a bakery called Astoria. It has a lot of European pastries, and they also sell ice cream and coffee. It was slightly overwhelming to be honest. You walk in and there's just a line of pastries in front of you, all so pretty and looking so yummy. I think we spent more time just looking at the desserts that actually eating any, but we did get something. Giles had a chocolate covered strawberry and I got a chocolate covered cannoli. So good!!!
Overall, it was a really fun Friday night, and today we're going to the Detroit Eastern Market, so excited! It's essentially the farmer's market in downtown. It should be lots of fun. Hopefully, pictures and a posting to come soon!

Guten Morgen
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. [a]
Their voice [b] goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.
The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Testing recipes..
Anyway, I have a question. I'm working on a bar recipe that my sister actually got me thinking about. In essence, it's a sugar cookie base that has a layer of peanut butter and chocolate on top. I'm still working on the cookie recipe right now. It's not quite moist enough yet.
But my question to you is, if you had the choice would you rather have a thicker cookie layer or thinner? Or would you like it in a cup form, more like a Reese' cup? Or something else, how about a peanut butter cookie base topped with a layer of peanut butter and chocolate?
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Premier League clubs spent a January transfer deadline-day record £150million on Wednesday to take their overall outlay for the month to £430m.
Arsenal kicked off a busy day by completing their record move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, while other big movers included Olivier Giround, Lucas Moura, Andre Ayew, Islam Slimani and Eliaquim Mangala.
Here are some of the best images from the day…
Aubameyang got the ball rolling as he completed his club-record £57.5m switch to Arsenal.
That move meant Dortmund needed a new striker and they immediately landed Chelsea frontman Michy Batshuayi on loan for the rest of the season.
Chelsea soon their had replacement for Batshuayi, however, when Olivier Giroud arrived in an £18m switch from the Gunners.
Tottenham boosted their squad with the £25million signing of Brazilian attacker Lucas Moura from PSG.
Stoke completed the £14million signing of Badou Ndiaye from Galatasaray on a four-and-a-half year deal.
Andre Ayew returned to Swansea from West Ham for a fee thought to be around £18million.
It was one striker out and another in at The London Stadium as the Hammers signed Jordan Hugill for £9million from Preston.
West Ham had wanted Leicester's Islam Slimani but he ended up making a loan switch to Newcastle.
Big Sam boosted Everton's defence after signing Eliaquim Mangala on loan from Man City.
Crystal Palace may have missed out on Ibrahim Amadou but they did sign striker Alexander Sorloth from Danish side FC Midtjylland for a reported £9m.

November 16, 2008
Today is always a special day we went to church then met up with Gigi Papa G, Kaitlyn & Kaycee for lunch at Lytle. Today was Gigi's B-day we had a really good time and Stone sat in a high chair for the first time and he did really good. Then we went to see Gram, Gramps and Meme for cupcakes it is also Gram's B-day. So we played and Stone took a nap and then we went home to clean house. The funny thing about our families is no one has a birthday or Anniv. in a month that they don't share it with another person so here are our crazy list of fact.
Nov. 16th Our 6th Anniv. Gigi's B-day Gram's B-day. Our friends from Vegas The Fischella's Anniv. also.
March 15 Brad's B-day
March 19th Stone's B-day & Gramps b-day
May 14 Melanie's B-day 19th My b-day.
June 13th Kaitlyn's B-day My parents Anniv.
July is nuts 19th Greg's 20 Clydes 29th KC 30th Papa G Birthday crazy.
So we have lots of fun stuff going on and we had a really good weekend. This is the first year Greg and I did not exchange gifts and for me that is a big deal I love to give gifts and plan it out but we decided that Stone was our gift to each other and that is all we needed. Plus we did shop all weekend so we got way more than we needed.
Posted by Baby McMinn at 8:51 AM No comments: Links to this post
Wild weekend.
We went to Austin on Friday Greg had a doctors apt. so we decided to stay the night and shop. So we went to the Round Rock and spent like 4 hours in IKEA this is stone in a bunch of beavers he did not like it at all. We had a really good time until we got to the Marriott and we all slept in a queen size bed good thing daddy doesn't move in his sleep.

Last week we hit the county fair - checked out all the entries (I took two 3rd places, two 1st places, & a reserve grand champion for my photography & papercrafts!), ate the *best* bratwursts around at the Wurst Man trailer, petted the critters (took photos to add to my galleries), ate a delicious elephant ear, and had a great time visiting folks! Whew! Such fun!
Over Labor Day weekend, we had a house full of young adults. Our 2 sons and a multitude of college friends came and camped here for two nights. I cooked pizzas (Papa Murphy's are mmmm mmm good!), and the rest all homemade: fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn on the cob, sticky buns, salsa, chocolate chip cookies, french toast & bacon, pulled pork & bbq sauce sands, hot caramel corn.......... all heartily enjoyed by our family & guests! Everyone enjoyed video games, Bananas family comedy videos, horseshoes, darts, croquet, and keep-away giant frisbee. A wonderful weekend!!

The Advantage Air E-Zone temperature controller means year-round comfort for the home or office at the touch of a screen.
Benefits of the E-Zone include:
- Intuitive touchscreen control panel with tablet functionality
- Full wireless remote control from your smartphone or tablet with the E-Zone app
- Zone your house to allow complete control of the air flow in each zone so everyone can set their ideal airflow, and maximise energy efficiency
- Eliminate hot and cold spots in the home or office by adjusting the airflow in each room from 5% to 100%
- Reduce airflow to empty rooms to assist with reducing energy bills
- Compatible with all major brands of air conditioning units
- Optional upgrade: individual room temperature controls available for up to 10 zones, so you can choose the exact temperature you want in each zone with ease. Independent temperature control is very important as there can be huge temperature discrepancies between rooms, depending on their orientation to the sun and whether they are up or down stairs. With the airflow adjustment, you can send more air to the hotter room.
- Compatible with Independent Temperature Contols (ITC)
