Let's be real: although it's the perfect day to get closer to your better half, Valentines Day is also an occasion for high expectations. Get it right, and you'll be a hero for the rest of the year, but mess up and it could spell doom for your relationship. No pressure!
The key to knowing how to plan the perfect Valentine's Day is knowing your partner. Their likes, dislikes, interests, and personality should be taken into consideration when creating the perfect evening for two. This is one date night where attention to detail pays off big time, so cover these bases and you'll be golden.
Start With Apps
No, not the kind on your smartphone, but the kind you order at a restaurant. The reason you should do this instead of ordering a full-out meal is fairly obvious. You want to make this night last, and it won't last very long if you order a bottle of house red and set up camp at a restaurant. A big part of having the perfect Valentine's Day is creating a slow burn. Order a full meal and you'll have blown your budget and be uncomfortably stuffed within an hour or two. Not good. Try a romantic restaurant like Cafe Prima Pasta just before their dinner rush, and order a hot and cold appetizer to share. Try a plate of Calamari and Bruschetta or do a salad and a hot app. Your night's just getting started so keep it light so you don't crash mid-date.
Do Something Fun
Now that you've had a nibble and enjoyed a drink or two, head over to a place where the two of you can do something fun together. Movie buffs will love heading to a theater to see a film. Independent film nuts will love the Miami Beach Cinématique with its historic feel, intimate screening room, and vintage design. For those who crave a bit more adventure can check out a place like EscapeQuest for an hour long game to see who can work together to solve puzzles and escape from a prison cell. Unconventional? Yes, but it's a great way to build your connection and have fun doing it. If you're looking to do something blissful and relaxing, you can stroll down the beach completely free of charge, or you can book a couples massage at Tao Spa. Their couples package is very affordable in comparison to the rest of the area and will loosen the both of you up for the next stop in your evening.
Something Sweet for My Sweet
After fun comes dessert, and nothing is more romantic than grabbing ice cream, sharing a milkshake, or having something devilishly decadent. Head to a gelato shop with tons of flavors like Gelato-Go for a quick and easy gelato on a cone or in a cup. If you're hungrier than a piece of cheesecake can fulfill, you can share a dinner plate at Yardbird Southern Bar & Grill. Yardbird is a Southern food restaurant with delicious desserts and amazing meals. Lots of visitors are in love with their Chicken and Waffles, Red Velvet Cake, and the Bourbon. Try to keep away from heavy or sleepy foods like ribs. You're not done yet.
Drinks and Music
The perfect end to the perfect evening involves drinks and music. End yours at a relaxed bar like The Broken Shaker. The cocktails and easygoing atmosphere will help wind it all down, and there are a few quiet corners in the venue where you can chat before heading home. Try a few different cocktails or surprise your lover with something new from their expert and innovative menu.
There you have it! The perfect plan for Valentine's Day. You don't have to follow the formula to a tee, but remember to take the framework into account as well as what you and your partner enjoy doing most. The point is to really milk it. It's one day of the whole year, and you can have a blast with your loved one in lieu of gifts. Make it a night to remember and have a Happy Valentine's Day!
Booking a furnished apartment to spend the night can also be romantic, have a look HERE !

BioScrip trims costs with two-part initiative
ELMSFORD, N.Y. — Specialty pharmacy provider BioScrip hopes to save $15 million through a cost-reduction and streamlining plan, the company said Monday.
Much of the two-part initiative will be implemented this year and completed by next year. Savings will mostly come from overhead, reduction of spending and restructuring of employee-benefit programs.
"Our leadership team has been undertaking an in-depth review of our organization to improve margins and increase operating cash flow," president and CEO Richard Smith said. "While we are in the midst of this process and the early stages of implementing our plan, we believe there are additional areas for operational improvement and cost savings."
In other news, the company appointed Mary Jane Graves as interim CFO, effective immediately, following the resignation of David Froesel as CFO, EVP and treasurer. Graves is the former CFO of Critical Homecare Solutions, which BioScrip acquired last year.
BioScrip said Froesel's departure was for personal reasons and not due to any dispute with the company.
Walgreens introduces Way to Well Commitment program
DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens on Tuesday announced the implementation of its Walgreens Way to Well Commitment program, a new Walgreens initiative geared toward improving the everyday health of Americans nationwide.
To kick off the Way to Well Commitment, more than 7,600 Walgreens pharmacies and Take Care Clinics now are offering free blood pressure testing daily throughout February, an offering announced on "The Dr. Oz Show."
"Way to Well is our commitment to disease prevention and to improving everyday health through education and early detection," stated Walgreens president and CEO Greg Wasson. "As a health and daily-living retailer trusted by millions of consumers every day, our ongoing effort is to help people get well, stay well and live well."
Through the Way to Well Commitment, Walgreens will bring $100 million in preventive healthcare resources, health-testing services and charitable programs to its stores over the next four years.
Walgreens realized the value in these types of programs and services during free diabetes health-testing offerings held at select stores and Take Care Clinics over three time periods from November 2009 through November 2010. Nearly 300,000 blood glucose and A1C tests were administered during these events, with more than 25% of patients testing "at risk" and consulting with Walgreens healthcare providers about their results.
In partnership with some of the nation's top health organizations — including the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, American Diabetes Association and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation — Walgreens and Take Care Clinics will offer a range of free health-testing services, including blood glucose, A1C and blood pressure, as well as other wellness programs over the next four years. Currently scheduled programs include:
February — Heart Health Month: Free blood pressure testing at all Walgreens pharmacies and Take Care Clinics daily throughout February;
May — Women's Health Month: Educational campaign in partnership with the American Cancer Society's Choose You Movement; and
October/November — Health programs and testing to be offered in conjunction with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) and National Diabetes Awareness Month (November).
In addition, the purchase of every Walgreens brand health-and-wellness product will support bringing Way to Well Commitment services to local communities through the Walgreens Way to Well Fund.
Giant Eagle's HBW format takes flight under Heiser's watchful eye
PITTSBURGH — Giant Eagle may be a regional player, but the company's willingness to experiment with its pharmacy formats — including its latest HBW/pharmacy store-within-a-store concept — proves that it can shake things up.
In fall 2009, Giant Eagle put into motion its health, beauty, wellness pilot tests — a new wellness format that helps bridge the prescription files of the pharmacy with the natural health-and-wellness opportunities across the front end.
Creating a "whole health" destination for Giant Eagle customers is a key focus for Randy Heiser, Giant Eagle VP pharmacy. For example, store pharmacists proactively consult with patients whenever they fill a prescription for a new-to-them medicine as part of the initiative. Looking forward, this concept will afford cross-referral opportunities across Giant Eagle's team of healthcare professionals — the pharmacist, dietitians and on-site nutritionists and licensed aestheticians.

I can't believe that Harry is 9 months old today! It has gone so fast and it's crazy to think that he is now as old as the length of a pregnancy! I know I say this most months but I think 9 months is quite a big one really.
Weight & Size
I had Harry weighed a week or two after my last update and unfortunately he had only put 40g on (for perspective he put 700g on the month before!), so he is only 19lb 7oz now. He was poorly with general colds, a throat infection and teething last month so I'm hoping it's down to that because he was being sick most meals. It was really horrible to watch and I still dread meal times because I'm so worried about him being sick, but I'm hopeful that he will have put more weight on this month as he already feels more solid again. He is now pretty much exclusively in 9-12 month clothes, with only the odd thing that's 6-9 months and seems to be randomly huge, so that's also making me think he has put on more weight.

Explained in a 4 minute video by a professor at Kansas State University. (No, it's not boring. Watch it.)
Since several people have asked me, I realized that I've not yet blogged about my experience getting home for Christmas. Well, I ended up originally getting a flight that got me into Rochester, via Washington Dullas, at 11:00pm on Christmas night. On Saturday I went to look at my updated schedule online and didn't find it. So, I called United back (was on hold for only an hour this time) and confirmed my Monday flight. During that call the agent asked me if there was a different city I could fly in to. I mentioned Buffalo and she found me a flight that got me into Buffalo at 6:15pm Christmas Eve. I snagged that one fast. The only hitch was that it took me through Kansas City (which finally has facilities inside security!) and Washington Dullas. On Sunday I ended up getting up at 4:30am, getting to the gate at 6:30am, and leaving Denver at 8:30am. I ended up getting to Buffalo roughly on time, but for some unexplained reason my luggage stayed behind at Dullas.
The baggage clerk "found" my bag at Dullas ans said that it would be arriving in buffalo at bout 11pm. Unfortunately, I needed to get to Rochester and didn't want to impose on my parents any more than I'd already done by making them pick me up about 70 miles from home. The clerk told me he had no more drivers for the night but that he'd have my bag delivered to me in Rochester the next day, Christmas.
Christmas day was fun as the photos can attest. We were able to keep my earlier arrival from my brother and his family so that was a nice surprise for them. Around noon I started wondering where my bag was so I tried calling the automated baggage claim phone system. I wouldn't accept my claim number nor would it recognize "sauers" as a last name. I tried transferring to a human but every time I tried that I was told that the "transfer had failed" and that I could try the automated system or "call back later". It's interesting that instead of being put on hold, I was, in essence, being hung up on by the system.
About 2pm Christmas day I got the call from United confirming the delivery address for my bag and informing me that it would be on the 6pm run. Finally my bag showed up at five to midnight.
Now I'm hoping I don't get stuck in Chicago on the way back home on Saturday as I hear the snow is starting again in Denver and they're expecting another two feet of the stuff.
The Library Management Team of the Kansas State Library held a staff meeting in Second Life. Go Christie!
Tagged with: kansas, second life
I'm on the campus of Friends University in Wichita, KS for the South Central Kansas Library Systems Technology Training Day. This morning I gave the keynote on Library 2.0 and this afternoon I'll be teaching my three hour blogging session. Photos from the event can be found in my flickr set and there's at one video in YouTube. (My keynote slides will be made available in the next few days.)
Back in January I wrote a post titled When is a Podcast not a Podcast in which I agreed with Greg Schwartz regarding folks using the term "podcast" when they're talking about linking to MP3 files on Web sites. In other words, complaining that people are misusing the term. To clarify, here's the basic definition of podcasting from Wikipedia:
"Podcasting is the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio programs or music videos, over the Internet for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. The distribution format of a podcast uses either the RSS or Atom syndication formats… Podcasters' web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their files, however a podcast is distinguished by its ability to be automatically downloaded automatically using software capable of reading RSS or Atom feeds."
What brings me to mention this is two recent posts, one from Library Stuff and another from Travels with the State Librarian. In the first case, Steven points out that the links for the MP3 versions of the SirsiDynix Institute recordings are not podcasts and I completely agree. The second case is a little more complicated.
Christie, the state librarian of Kansas has posted her first podcast using AudioBlogger.com a free service that allows you to post audio files to your blog via your telephone. Just call the number, enter your PIN, and record your message. Minutes later a link to an MP3 version of your recording will appear as a post on your blog. Even I, in the past have called this a "quick and dirty podcast". However, giving it some more thought, and looking back at the definition of podcast, I'm forced to change my mind. This is not a podcast. Here's why.
In the case of AudioBlogger, even if you have an RSS feed for your blog's content, the MP3 file itself is not being distributed via that feed, nor can it be automatically downloaded. All that's being syndicated via the feed is a link to a MP3 file that you must manually download. For these reasons, linking to an MP3 file, regardless of the method of announcing such a link is not a podcast.
Now that I've argued the semantics I wonder if I should bother. Language changes and terms get applied differently as more people use them. Technically, you don't "go" to a Web page, the page is sent to you. However, that doesn't mean I never say "go to this or that Web page". Should I care this much about how the term podcast is being applied? Should any of us?
I can't say enough about the PaperCuts blogs out of the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library in Kansas. Here's yet another great post from them regarding different books with the same title. I think we should all find more examples and submit them as comments.

Receiving a letter from the Internal Revenue Service is something most individuals and business owners dread. What should you do when you get that unexpected correspondence from the IRS? First, follow these three tips from BizBox by Slate:
- Open the Envelope and Read The Contents. Believe it or not, it is not uncommon for people to toss the unopened envelope aside. The envelope probably contains correspondence that requires a response before a certain deadline.
- Compare the IRS Correspondence to the Tax Return. Find the applicable return, and compare it to the information from the IRS letter. If you have unintentionally omitted information, or made a mathematical error, responding to the letter on your own is probably all you'll need to do.
- Keep Copies. Retain copies of everything that you send to the IRS, and everything that you receive from the IRS.
And what happens if that letter from the IRS turns into an audit? Prepare your records, educate yourself, and know your rights. Click here for more tips for surviving an audit, from Nolo.com.

I can see where you're coming from, but am worried that some clients might set a Content-Type even though they don't send content. (e.g. a zero length body of <x> type) How about adding this to STATUS, and collecting in there the clients that have been verified? (e.g. WebFolders, cadaver, Neon clients, etc) Once it appears that most clients are /not/ sending Content-Type on a MKCOL, then yes: let's get it integrated. I've always hated that code :-) Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/

TV tuners are computer hardware (tuner cards or USB) or computer software programs that will make your computer function like a television and you will have the possibility of watching online TV programming or plain free-to-air channels. A TV tuner will make it easy for your computer to get a hold of over 3500 different tv channels from over 78 countries.
TV tuner software are all over the internet making their appearance in all types and forms. Before you decide on which on you are going to use, you have to some research in order to know what you are interested in. The best TV tuning programs are the kind that are very easy to download in a short amount of time. This shows that the program is free of any adware or malware. TV tuning software is often developed and provided in order to circulate different sorts of adware and other files you don't want on your computer because it will slow down your system and grabs a lot of your memory space.
The best way to find out about these programs is by going online and read reviews which you can find by using Google. Most of these reviews provide you with all sorts of information in detail about what to expect, the kind of programming and other relevant information. This way you can determine if the software is compatible with your computer and if it meets your requirements.
You will have to make a choice about whether or not you want the maximum amount of channels of poor quality or if you take less channels and have a good quality. Less channels still means more than you can ever watch in a lifetime. So often the choice between quantity and quality is very easily made.
Nearly all of the good TV tuners for your computer will be Windows compatible and very often there is another type available which is especially made for Mac users. In general, the software will co-operate with the default media players such as Windows Media Player which adds crispness to both picture quality and sound quality. However, even though the program has a good quality, if you don't have a high speed internet connection there will some annoying times where the program doesn't run the way you would like to.
In general, because of the high speed internet connection demands, TV tuners for your computer often have a downloading process which is very fast. This is also a sign that the software that is being used is of the light kind and will not take too much power out of your system. Overall TV tuning programs have a very easy-to-use navigating system where you can make your choices. Often the programs and channels are sorted by countries and categories and usually you can always do a random keyword search.

New Work
Just finished this landscape for a client and delivered it this week. I love the look of the coast live oaks and the texture and shape of the california hills. I have started a series of landscapes with the oaks and hillsides, some in oils and some in other mediums. There is a feel to the land and the vegetation that inspires me to let my vision run wild.

FILLINGSFillings are done to remove decay, and replace the affected tooth structure. It is called a filling because new a material fills hole that decay left. Now days most teeth are treated with bonded tooth colored composite resin fillings. Caught early enough, cavities can be treated easily and painlessly. If not treated decay can lead to tooth pain and/or infection, and the tooth would need root canal treatment or extraction.
BONDINGBonding involves adhering composite resin material that is matched to the color of the tooth, to the front of the tooth. This is done to repair damage done to the tooth by decay, to alter the alignment of the tooth, close gaps between the teeth, or for cosmetic purposes. First the surface of the tooth is roughened in order to accept the bonding and hold it. A gel is applied to micro etch the tooth surface, and a primer/bond agent is applied so the material adheres to the surface. Then the material itself is placed on the tooth and hardened with intense light. The composite resin material is shaped and polished to get a lustrous finish as a last step.
SEALANTSThis is used to fill in narrow grooves in a tooth that cannot be adequately cleaned by brushing. In some cases, the tooth structure has fine grooves or pits which accumulate plaque, not because the person doesn't brush, but because they're too narrow to allow even one bristle into them. These will develop cavities over time, and you don't want that. So the dentist will brush on a coating that seals the grooves and pits, making it possible to brush off all the plaque and keep your teeth healthy.
NON-SURGICAL GUM TREATMENTSThe gums, ligaments, and bone around the teeth form the foundation for ones teeth. All structures are also referred to as the periodontium. When the periodontium is not healthy, it jeopardizes the teeth just as a bad foundation would threaten the stability of a house. Signs of unhealthy periodontium (gum disease) may be as follows: gums that are red and bleed easily, persistent bad breath, gums that are pulled away from the tooth, loose teeth, and changes in the position or bite of the teeth. Any of these signs may mean something is wrong. With the proper care, however, it may be possible to return them to a healthy state. This is where appropriate gum treatments come in. If you're having a problem, come in and see us so we can take care of it right away. The treatment usually involves a deep cleaning or root planing done under a local anesthetic, along with local antibiotic agents. If the gum disease gets too severe it may need to be treated through surgery or extraction. This is why it is important to get it treated at the first sign of a problem.
X-RAYSThis is a focused beam of X-Ray particles through bone which produces an image on special film, showing the structure through which it passed. This gives the familiar black and white images that doctors and dentists use to diagnose problems. X-rays are a necessary part of the diagnostic process, and not to use them could lead to undiagnosed disease. Without an X-ray of the whole tooth, and supporting bone and gum tissues, there is no real way to detect infection or pathology that requires attention.
In our office we use digital radiography which allows us to take X-rays using 50-70% less radiation versus conventional X-rays. Coupled with computer monitorying, digital x-ray technology allows us to enhance the images for better diagnosis of any dental concerns.

In order for you to have a successful painting project, it is important that you have an understanding on the different types of paint in order for you to choose the right one. There are two basic types of paint; the water-based and oil-based. Both has its share of advantages and disadvantages but basically what sets them apart is that water-based paints dry easily and they are easier to work with. They are also available in more colour options and water-based paints come with matte finish. On the other hand, oil-based paints take longer to dry but you can rely on their durability as they wear longer. One feature of oil-based paints is they come with glossy finish.
Water-based paints are ideal for exteriors and also on interiors that receives moisture or wetness such as kitchen and bathroom. Oil-based paints are not recommended for exterior uses because it has lower UV resistance and is vulnerable to cracking. They are suitable for areas you wish to highlight such as windows, doors, trims, architraves, skirting and other decorative features. Oil-based paints are also more resistant to scrapes and scuffs.
To get better understanding on the different types of paint, here are the advantages of the two.
Water-based paints
- Surfaces with water based-paints can easily be cleaned with water
- Emits lower fumes and odour with lower VOC levels
- More colours to choose from
- Less glossy
- Higher resistance to cracking
- Can only take 30 minutes to dry
- Lower risk of yellowing
- Higher UV resistance
- Durable even in damp or moist environments
Oil-based paints
- Requires turps for clean ups
- With stronger fumes and odour including VOC levels
- Lesser colour variety
- Better and smoother finish with less visible brush mark

Skin is a conundrum, both remarkably fragile and extremely powerful in its ability to heal itself. Consider the onslaught of aggressors skin is exposed to on a daily basis, all of which are remarkably detrimental to the complexion: toxic pollutants, harsh chemicals, relentless UV rays, chronic stress and questionable eating habits. Skin reacts badly in any number of ways, becoming irritable, dull, clogged, prematurely wrinkled, prone to breakouts or itchy and flaky.
To restore damaged skin's natural balance, Sevique formulas combine the most potent natural actives with highly effective delivery systems to nurture, hydrate and revitalize skin. Circulation is boosted so skin receives more oxygen and reparative nutrients, cell turnover is optimized to diminish dullness and even tone and collagen and elastin production is boosted to fade the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Regular use of a morning and evening regimen ritual along with a nutrient-rich diet and adequate hydration will deliver remarkable results in a short amount of time, resulting in smooth, luminous glowing skin and a brilliant new youthfulness.
Seabuckthorn Berry: A potent all-natural antioxidant with high levels of vitamins A and E and a rare omega 7 that destroys harmful free radicals.
Squalene: A powerful all-natural hydrator that prevents dryness and markedly improves skin tone and texture.
Goji Berry: One of the most potent natural anti-oxidants that helps fight free radical damage to skin
Beeswax: Delivers strong healing powers, locks in moisture and nurtures and protects skin and cells.
Ceramide 3: An all-natural hydrator that improves long-term moisturization and protects the skin against external aggressors.
Retinol: This nurturing vitamin A derivative dramatically improves skin's elasticity and tone and prevents signs of premature aging.
Matrixyl: An anti-wrinkle powerhouse and healing hydrator that helps stimulate the production of youth proteins like collagen and elastin.
Regu-Age: An all-natural botanical complex that reduces the presence of free radicals, delays signs of premature aging and dramatically diminishes dark circles and puffiness in the eye area.

My name is Yee Gan and I'm a chef stalker. One of my favourite Masterchef winners in the last few years was Tim Anderson, whose soft spoken American accent belied an encyclopaedic, obsessive knowledge about Japanese food.
The drawback about watching food programs on TV is that until they develop smell-o-vision for TV, we have to suffer the frustrating inability to enjoy the smells and flavours of the wonderful looking food. So, I was so happy when rumours started a couple of years ago about Tim Anderson opening his own restaurant. He was supposed to have headed to hipster central Shoreditch but a few months ago, he finally opened Nanban in Brixton.
Described as combination izakya and ramen, the menu is divided between 7 ramen dishes and 9 small plates as well as a burger and curry on rice. My dining companion and I chose 3 of the ramens – kumamoto ramen, miyazaki ramen and goat curry tsukemen as well as a grapefruit shichimi salad.
The grapefruit shichimi salad was a successful marriage of bitter-sweet grapefruit, softened cucumber and crunchy puffed rice, spiked with hot shichimi chilli powder. The portion size was a bit mean though.
The kumamoto ramen was the closest thing on the menu to my favourite tonkotsu ramen, where pork bones are boiled for hours to create a rich, fatty pork broth. A few years ago, before the ramen revolution hit London, this would have been great but today, I found the broth to have an odd thickened consistency as if a cornflour roux had been added. It's a real shame about the consistency as the flavour was great, the moist pork belly was moreish, the tea-pickled egg perfect, the addition of crispy garlic chips inspired and the noodles had the right amount of bite
My friend chose the miyazaki ramen, a chicken soy ramen which has been garnering good reviews. She was pleased with her choice.
On the way into the restaurant, I had spotted copies of Tim Anderson's cookbook for sale, also called Nanban. However, I did also spot a Caribbean cookbook and he is definitely trying to fuse Japanese and Caribbean cuisine. In the case of the goat curry tsukemen, sadly, not altogether successfully. Tsukemen is a dipping ramen dish but the goat curry is just too powerful and needs a more robust foil
If Tim Anderson had launched Nanban a few years ago, he would have ridden the crest of a ramen revolution but with strong players like Bone Daddies, Shoryu and Ippudo already well established in that marketplace, he may struggle. However, there's still a gap for a great izakaya in London, so I wish him luck

While most people in the retirement industry agree that the Department of Labor has its heart in the right place in wanting to protect individuals from conflicts of interest, many dont believe the agency has gone about its rule-making in the right way and think the rules, as proposed, will actually do more harm than good to the individuals and small businesses the DOL claims it wants to help.
The DOL re-proposed its fiduciary rule mid-April. Under the proposal, brokers and advisers to individual retirement plans would have to follow the same stringent rules as registered investment advisers. That means that those giving advice to people about their retirement plans would have to put their clients best interests ahead of their own.
Those who want to receive payments from companies selling products they recommend and forms of compensation that create conflicts of interest will need to rely on one of several prohibited transaction exemptions, according to the DOL.
July 21 was the last day to submit a comment on the proposal.
Also see: DOL fiduciary rule falls flat
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said in its letter to the DOL that the current proposal is unduly complicated and wrought with serious defects for this regulatory initiative. Indeed, the result is an unworkable rule that ultimately harms American investors and retirees.
It recommends that the DOL engage in a negotiated rulemaking process so that all affected voices are heard.
In its comment letter to the Employee Benefit Security Administration, FINRA applauded the DOL for raising public awareness about the need to ensure that retirement investors can obtain financial advice without being subject to abusive or predatory sales practices.
But, it also urged that the federal securities laws that already are in place serve as the foundation of the best interest standard that will apply to broker-dealers. To be successful, the standard must build upon existing principles under the federal securities laws rather than introducing precepts without precedent that will impede the good faith efforts of financial institutions and advisers to comply.
FINRA and the Securities and Exchange Commission already require broker-dealers to deal fairly with customers, adhere to just and equitable principles of trade and ensure that recommendations are suitable for customers, the FINRA letter said.
Also see: DOL fiduciary rule: A step in the right direction
Aliya Wong, executive director of retirement policy for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said that the new rule would no longer allow education that points to a specific investment. You can only do asset allocation. They are taking away a vital piece of information that can help them allocate their retirement savings. This does more harm to retirement savings than good for the small business market.
Studies have shown that businesses with 10 to 49 employees are 50% more likely to offer a retirement plan if they are doing so with the help of a financial adviser, said Brad Campbell, counsel with Drinker Biddle & Reith LLP. Businesses with between two and nine employees are two times more likely to offer a plan if they have the advice of an adviser.
The effects of this rule make it harder for those businesses to get advice, he said.
He added that it is ironic that this rule can prevent an adviser from acting in your best interest even though the rule is to make them act in your best interest.
The rule would force advisers away from transaction-based accounts to fee-based transaction accounts.
The problem with that is for many users, fee-based accounts are more expensive, Campbell said.
Also see: What a new fiduciary standard means for plan sponsors
The fiduciary rule would also make it unlikely individuals would get advice about consolidating their accounts, he said. The way the rules are written, advice about account consolidation would be considered fiduciary advice.
As far as the best-interest contract exemption goes, it wouldnt apply to most assets. Large plans would still be able to do what they have always done, but individuals and small plans will find it more difficult to get good advice. Without advice, businesses are less likely to offer a plan, he said.
The American Retirement Association weighed in on the proposal, stating that it supports aligning the interests of retirement plan advisers to individual retirement investors through a best-interest standard but believes that some of the restrictions surrounding investment education should be loosened up because they make participant education harder to translate into practice and thus less helpful to participants.
The ARA also believes that plan advisers should be encouraged to help plan participants with rollovers, not penalized for providing advice to the plan.
Any best-interest standard that is adopted should not discourage advisers from wanting to work with small businesses, the letter said.
Also see: Workers want more active employer role in retirement planning
The ARA proposed a separate exemption for advisers that provides leveled compensation advice so that retirement plan advisers are not at a competitive disadvantage in helping participants make critical rollover decisions vis-à-vis advisers who had no previous relationship with the participant in the plan. It also argued that the current investment education parameters be maintained, including the ability to reference specific fund names in any general communication to plan participants without turning such education into fiduciary advice.

"Without a doubt, 2017 is providing us with an endless supply of global, continental and national drama, intrigue and conflict – from Brexit, Trumpism, Russia, China, North Korea and Syria; and on our own Continent – reluctant or overly zealous regime change. The time and need for sound and transparent governance and for ethical leadership, has never been greater world-wide, and on our continent," said Prof Mandla Makhanya, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of Unisa.
Speaking at the Management of Democratic Elections in Africa (MDEA) gala dinner on 9 June 2017, the Vice-Chancellor said this is why the programme is so important, especially when it comes to the critically important acceptance of properly management democratic elections. "We all know that this will only happen when there is trust in the transparency and ethics of the election process," he said.
MDEA is hosted by Unisa through its Institute for African Renaissance Studies (IARS), in collaboration with the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) of South Africa and USAID, who are sponsoring the certificate programme. "Unisa's involvement in this programme speaks to it's deep commitment to the democratic process, and the belief that as educators and proponents of sound and transparent democratic government and governance, we have a responsibility and an interest in ensuring that Africans are equipped to manage their democratic election processes towards ensuring free and fair elections. "This is proving to be more important than ever before," explained the Vice-Chancellor.
Adding to this rich discussion was Prof Eddy Maloka, CEO of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM). This is a self-monitoring tool that is voluntarily agreed to by the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) member-states and the African Union (AU). This platform allows African countries to evaluate themselves on governance as a way of bringing Africa's commitment to accountability and prosperity.
Maloka pointed out that there is a resource scarcity because the abundance of national resources on the African continent does not necessarily result in wealth and enrichment for countries. He said this is when actual elections just becomes a side issue. These are some of the issues they are trying to deal with in the APRM.
When it comes to serving the African continent, Maloka stands firm is his belief of citizens first. "This is a collective, we need a state, in fact any political movement needs a state to be able to implement programmes. It only becomes useful though if you have the state to better the lives of citizens. However, if the state is for self-serving interests, and are greedy and using it for their own personal wealth, then the state becomes a problem in Africa," he said.
The MDEA programme is uniquely designed to strengthen and promote electoral democracy and develop knowledge and expertise in election management and administration through the provision of education and training programs for Election Management Bodies (EMBs). Since its inception in 2011, 365 officials have been trained and have benefited from generous funding by the USAID. In 2017 Unisa will train 90 Officials in the first and second intakes, in June and July, and 45 Commissioners will be trained in the third intake in September. 23 African countries and 24 Election Management Bodies have benefitted from training in the MDEA programme. The June 2017 intake welcomes the maiden participation of officials from the Federal Republic of Somalia and Burkina Faso.

Notes from the President…
To all our BMA ATL members,
By now you have received the announcement from Steve Liguori, chairman of BMA's national board, about the proposed acquisition by the Association of National Advertisers (ANA). If not, please take a moment to read Mr. Liguori's email, or Google it read more from the New York Times and other news outlets.
Joining with ANA is an important decision for growth of BMA, both nationally and locally. BMA ATL's expectation of the change lies in the enhanced value that we'll be able to deliver to our members. We'll be able to benefit from the established infrastructure, resources and intellectual capital that ANA can provide. For instance, we will enjoy access to the organization's Marketing Research Center, a deep library of industry research and insights, as well as local and national events and webinars, training and career development opportunities.
As president of BMA Atlanta, I want to assure you that, along with the board of directors, my first priority as we move forward is you. We are proud of the more than 90-year legacy of BMA and what we've recently rebuilt together as the fastest-growing chapter of BMA. As we continue to evaluate this opportunity, the Board will continually act as an advocate on your behalf, to preserve the value and vision you've come to expect from BMA ATL.
Tomorrow, October 24th, you'll receive an email from BMA National. You will be asked to cast your vote in favor of the agreement between our two organizations before November 30. To remain as informed as possible, I encourage you to spend time reviewing available communications, and to watch for additional information from me in the coming weeks.
Thank you for helping to make BMA Atlanta a leading community for B2B marketers and communicators. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Mark Semmelmayer, CBC
2014 President
BMA Atlanta

KAYA FC tries to take advantage of the presence of OJ Porteria as it squares off against Socceroo on Thursday in the United Football League at the Emperador Stadium in Mckinley Hill.
With the star striker available for the 7:30 p.m. encounter after his red card in the 1-2 loss to Global the last time was reduced to a yellow, Kaya is assured of fielding an intact lineup as it aims for its second victory in three games.
"It is great to have OJ available for the game as he deserves the right to play," Kaya coach David Perkovic told Spin.ph on Wednesday regarding Porteria, who scored for the squad before getting sent off last Saturday.
Apart from downgrading Porteria's infraction, the UFL also suspended referee Christian Pacaña and assistant referee 1 Christopher Bautista for 50 matches each for their miscue in the Global-Kaya game.
Perkovic welcomed the league's decision, the first time in league history the UFL has cracked the whip on erring referees.
"It's all about improving the sport in the country," the Australian mentor said. "It shows that the league is striving to get better."
Kaya now faces a newly promoted Socceroo side that is hungry for its breakthrough victory in the top flight after going empty handed in its first two games.
Green Archers United is likewise hoping to barge into the win column as it faces Philippine Army earlier at 5:15 p.m.
The Archers have fallen short in their first two assignments, which both ended in a draw, and they are counting on Chieffy Caligdong and Co. for a change in the tide against the Troopers, who have three points on a win and a defeat.

Driven by a strong passion for visual and performance arts, I focused my studies on gaining a wide knowledge of art and literature, theatre, film and photography.
After successfully completing a BA Hons in Theatre: Design for Performance at Central Saint Martins I followed a growing interest in human rights, developing countries and social work, spending a year working in South America.
Having returned to London in 2006 I have worked freelance as set designer/art director on film and theatre productions. Here combining my love of photography and performance I begun working as stills photographer.
My images have been published in various newspapers and magazines including The Guardian, The Independent, Time Out London, The Stage & The British Theatre Guide as well as being used as publicity on flyers, posters and websites.
I am always interested in new projects and creative partnerships.

Children get your culture/And don't stand there and just stare/Or the battle will be harder - Natty Dread As a black person it is radical to love yourself.

Chay Chay Poley: A Quick Lesson on Liberian English
Song: Chay Chay Poley Artist: Tokay Tomah The linguistics of the Diaspora is fascinating to me. No matter where we landed or remained, our tongues have been influenced by colonization. West Africa is known for its various forms of Pidgin or broken English, the West Indies for their patois and the United States for AAVE. … Continue reading Chay Chay Poley: A Quick Lesson on Liberian English
Love Is: Dialogue with the African Diaspora
Three years ago, I began collecting interviews of Black people, questioning their definition of love and discussing other issues related to their personal Black narrative. I started by asking friends (thanks to you BUGA), strangers and musicians, including Big Sant and 9th Wonder. Each interview, each personal narrative proved that Black is not a … Continue reading Love Is: Dialogue with the African Diaspora

Those painful white colored open sores in your mouth surrounded by red border are mouth ulcers. Most common infections they are and can be very irritating. Mostly it is irritating because they happen to locate somewhere under your tongue, or inside the lips or cheeks. This can create in eating your food, while talking or even can be painful at times without doing anything.
There can be many reasons about how and why these mouth ulcers do take place. Here are some common types of ulcers that you must have come across.
Minor ulcers
Aphthous stomatitis is mainly known as minor ulcers and is quite common in many people. It takes about a week time or also at times 10 days to get cured.
Major ulcers
Major ulcers or Major aphthous ulceration takes place when a few nearby minor ulcers or aphthous stomatitis merge up to become a huge one. This type of ulcer normally takes place only in 10% of the cases and is of course much more painful than the minor ulcers.
Herpetiform ulcers
This type is much more painful and ugly than the minor and major ulcers. This can be a result of the herpes simplex. Hundreds of small ulcers cluster together, to create this painful ulcer. It is said that women are more affected with this type of ulcer than the men.
Different causes for mouth ulcers
There can be some of the eminent reasons that may cause mouth ulcers. These can be:
- Accidental bites
- Bowel diseases
- Deficiency of iron, vitamin C or vitamin B12
- Food allergies
- Hormonal imbalance
- Herpes simplex
- Skin disease
- Stress
- Unhygienic dental issues
- Underlying diseases
Home remedies to treat mouth ulcers
- Though many individual runs to the medical store or checks for a doctor to get their mouth ulcers cured, there are some of easiest home remedies to get rid of such issues.
- Extracted milk from grated coconut can be used to gargle around 4 times a day can help in treating ulcers very fast.
- Similarly, you can coriander leaves in water and the then strain it and let it cool down a bit. Doing gargle with this water in lukewarm condition can also do miracles in mouth ulcers.
- Another simple way is to gargle with warm water once and then chilled water once. The temperature theory is helpful in many cases to treat the ulcer.
- Similar to coriander, fenugreek leaves can be also boiled in water and strained. The water can be used for gargling three times a day after it has cooled down a little bit.
- Put some coriander seeds in boiling water and then after straining and cooling it down, use it to gargle three times a day.
- You can also consume two tablespoons aloe vera gel three times a day to get a soothing effect in your mouth.
- You can chew a bunch of basil leaves with water about 5-6 times a day to treat your mouth ulcers.
- Either you can eat raw tomatoes or you can also gargle with the tomato juice for 3-4 times a day.
- Try applying sugar candy and camphor on the ulcer blister in your mouth. Make sure that you take 1/7th part of camphor in comparison to the sugar candy. This is one of the easiest home remedies but you need to make sure that not much of camphor goes in your mouth.
- Make a paste of a pinch of turmeric in some glycerine. Apple this mixture on the blister and see amazing results in a few days.
- Similarly, make a paste of honey and turmeric and then gently rub on the blister that you have in your mouth.
- Another easy way can be to consume banana with curd everyday in the morning.
- Also you can massage the gums of your mouth with a mixture of honey and coconut to get rid of mouth ulcers.
- Apply a paste of Indian gooseberry on the blister for 2-3 times a day. You will be able to notice the difference in just 2 days.
- In about 1/3rd cup water, put 10 drops of tea tree oil. Swishing your mouth with this mixture for 30 seconds each time can help in getting cured of the infection, and treating the blister.
- Also saltwater is also effective in treating ulcer. Very easily about half spoon of salt can be dissolved in a cup of water and then you can swish with it for 30 seconds each time. You can try dissolving the salt in lukewarm water for much better results and also faster.
- Another remedy can be to swish you mouth with soda as bicarbonate in it helps in treating ulcers very effectively.
- Applying a few drops of tea tree oil on the blister will help in soothing the blister and also in reducing the redness and the inflammation.
- If you hold cranberry juice in your mouth for some time for at least 2-3 times a day, it can easily help you to get rid of mouth ulcers quite soon.
- Applying plain yoghurt on these blisters can also help you in getting ridding of them comfortably.
- Onions absorb infections. So, eat salads with raw onions. You will see that you ulcer has disappeared surprisingly.
Things you should do while having an ulcer
- For brushing your teeth, use brushes with soft brittles only.
- Try to drink one cup of cranberry with each meal.
- For drinking chilled drinks, use a straw.
- Consume food items that are comfortable for the blister such as ice cream, yoghurt or custard. Eating some cool fruits can also help in relaxing the ulcer burns.
Important things that you should not do while you have ulcer
- Say a strict no to food items that are hot or spicy.
- Reduce down hard items such as tea and coffee
- Stay away from tobacco, cigarette or alcohol
So, use some of the above mentioned home remedies and also follow the methods mentioned to get rid of mouth ulcers effectively and also much faster.

One of the highlights of this year's Osaka Asian Film Festival Indie Forum is a colorful coming-of-age drama, Dynamite Wolf. The film follows young misfit Hirota, who falls in love with pro-wrestling after witnessing local superstar Dynamite Wolf in action. With the help of his two equally quirky friends, Hirota begins grappling lessons under the tutelage of an unhinged local layabout – who they believe to be their unmasked wrestling idol.
The film features a fantastic young cast, who are ably supported by real life wrestlers from Osaka's Dotonburi Pro Wrestling promotion. Director Taniguchi Kohei has another film due for release soon, Olive House vs. Sekai and on the strength of Dynamite Wolf, it's well worth looking out for.
Check out the trailer for the film below.

As I drive toward my neighborhood, I now pass a temporary yard sign that says Be Kind. I know that my reaction should be, "Isn't that a great reminder".
This is probably not the right thing to say, but that sign makes me think, "I wonder what made them put that sign up?" and "I wonder if their neighbors think to themselves that they should start being kind by being good neighbors, and take that sign down?". And maybe even a part of me thinks "I wonder why they think they should tell me to be kind?". Yes, I know… that is not the reaction that I should have!
In writing Our year-end blog, I am consciously thinking about that sign. It's not for me to tell you what your goals should be for 2018. Goals are personal.
Maybe you have just decided that in the coming year, you will not wear turtlenecks.
Maybe you are thinking that you want to eat more vegetables in the coming year. Does it count if you are eating vegetables, like they have at Ruth's Chris Steak House? You know, the sweet potato casserole that is prepared with 12 sticks of butter and graham crackers. Or the broccoli and ice cream vegetable medley? (or something like that)
At the age of 101, Larry Lewis ran the 100 yard dash in 17.8 seconds setting a new world record for runners 100 years old or older. How is that for a goal?
Remember, I promised that I would not tell you what your goals should be. So maybe we call Our blog today… The no criticism goal zone!
Let me take you on a wandering thought tour. What I am thinking for the new year. But first, a New Year's thought:
I am told that men in their twenties typically take it hard when their hair starts falling out. I fell into that eg0/insecurity twenty-something. I do applaud those who embrace baldness. I just didn't.
So, I found myself at a doctor's office for a hair transplant consultation. Soon, I had gone through several hair transplant "procedures" and I felt pretty good about the results. Looking back, it makes me shake my head (not so much my hair). One of those times I would have time-traveled back to tell myself not to do it! (We are still not quite finished with our time machine at the firm)
In February of 2008, I had a kidney transplant. As I left the hospital, they explained the anti-rejection medications that had to be taken. Then, they also explained the side effects. One specific pill could cause hair loss. At that moment, hair loss didn't matter. Perfectly happy to take the medication! Hair loss was not important compared to the benefits of the medication.
It was true, I did suffer hair loss. Maybe it is medication related. Of course, I also like to say that I have summer hair. Some are here (hair) and some are gone. Boom!
I have written several "Resolutions" blogs over the past few years. Sometimes I list several goals I have for the new year and other times, just some general positive thoughts.
This year I made a personal list of several goals for the new year. One specific goal is much like that medication. To focus on the real things that matter and not get hung up on what doesn't matter. Much like the benefit of the medication instead of the detail of those side effects. Major on the major! Not to spend time thinking and majoring on the minor.
Buckling up, with my seat in the upright and locked position. Whenever things seem difficult, I want to focus on the big picture.
Yes… that's why they are called goals!
I so wish you a very happy new year. 2018 is going to be a great year! I just know it! These are the good days!

Young Alums Score
Sports Fields Attract Lasell Grads
It's exciting, it's sexy and it's competitive. The business of sports is one of the fastest growing industries in the world, with some estimating revenues in the $50-$100 billion/year range.
Lasell and its students jumped on this fast moving train with the creation of Sport Management majors, minors and a graduate program in recent years and they are not alone in wanting a piece of the action.
With entertainment moguls like Jay Z creating sports agencies and the popularity of professional sports growing, the field - including marketing, business, entertainment, coaching, communication and media -- is hot.
"People realize they want to be associated with winners and that associates with sports," says Dwayne Thomas, chair of the College's Sport Management Department.
Thomas says Lasell's program, which will soon be accredited by the Commission on Sport Management Accreditation, urges students to complete multiple internships and gain hands-on experience so that after graduation they are confident and ready to compete.
Lasell students have completed internships at the Boston Bruins, New England Revolution, ESPN - Boston, Boston College Athletics, and Jam'n 94.5/Kiss 108 leading to positions at a wide variety of organizations including the Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Anaheim Angels, NASCAR and many others.
The collection of young alums highlighted by Leaves below demonstrates just how that Lasell-born field experience has paid off.
Olivia Coiro '12
Assistant Director of Athletic Communications, Lynn University, Boca Raton, FL
How did you land your position?
I applied to every job on the NCAA job market website that interested me including seven athletic communication jobs and was denied immediately from most of them. Two weeks later Lynn University called. Before I knew it, my car was packed and I was moving to South Florida.
Best aspect of your job (so far)?
I have been able to cover our women's golf team the past two years when we won back-to-back Division II National Championships. To me, there is no greater joy than watching my athletes work hard to achieve their goals, and being there to support them along the way.
Skills developed at Lasell?
If it wasn't for Lasell I would not be where I am today. Director of Athletics Kristy Walter and Sports Information Director Todd Montana gave me a lot of responsibility during my time as an undergraduate. Assistant Professor of Exercise Science Janice Savitz connected me with Lesley University, where I interned for three years. By the time I graduated I could input statistics for every sport, write a post-game recap and create videos.
Katie Farr '11
Title: Doctoral Candidate in Physical Therapy Simmons College, Boston, MA (anticipated August 2015)
How did you land your position?
My passion for physical therapy grew as a student at Lasell after my internships at CATZ Physical Therapy Institute. Following graduation, I worked at CATZ for a year, continuing to expand my knowledge and prepare for the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Simmons.
Best aspect of your job (so far)?
Every day I learn something new and interesting. It is a great opportunity to be involved with the care of patients in different settings that have a wide variety of conditions such as sports injuries, joint replacements, and strokes. One of the best aspects of physical therapy is having the ability to impact people's lives in a positive way.
Skills developed at Lasell?
As a student athlete, work ethic and time management were crucial to my success. I use skills that I developed and strengthened at Lasell every day.
Rory Grady '09
Title: Certified Athletic Trainer, U.S. Athletic Training Center
How did you land your position?
During my interview I was able to talk about my clinical opportunities while at Lasell. I had a chance to experience every type of setting and that gave me a leg up on other applicants. I believe I got the job because of how well Lasell prepared me for interviews, and having a philosophy of treatment and handling athletes was crucial. Charm doesn't hurt either.
Best aspect of your job (so far)?
The ability to work with and learn different rehabilitation techniques from physical therapist.
Skills developed at Lasell?
The Athletic Training program helped me develop the skills that I use on a daily basis including my evaluation skills and on field management. This has helped me grow into a better practitioner.
Matt Tieri '11
Title: Inside Sales Representative, Boston Red Sox
How did you land your position?
Networking. My first opportunity in sports was an internship with professional indoor lacrosse team the Boston Blazers. The minute I started I made an effort to meet and connect with as many people as possible within our company, and the industry. These connections led me to various interviews with different teams until I landed a job with the Red Sox.
Best aspect of your job (so far)?
I'm excited to come to work every day. I think it's important to find a job where you enjoy what you do because it will be easy to stay motivated to work your hardest each day. The best experience I have had here at Fenway was being part of the 2013 World Series Championship run.
Skills developed at Lasell?
At Lasell I was fortunate enough to have professors and advisors with experience in the sports industry. I built my credentials through internships for various sports properties, while networking with people inside the industry. It was a major part of how I got to where I am today.
Austin Traina '09
Title: Manager, Network and Studio Operation, The Madison Square Garden Company, NYC
How did you land your position?
I was working at WNET NY, when a friend's father alerted me to the position at MSG, and said I should "throw my hat in the ring." I had an interview and I nailed it. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Best aspect of your job (so far)?
Every night I see the results of my hard work on one of our network stations. When I see my studio and my shows on live air throughout NYC in various sports bars and restaurants, it gives me an incredible sense of pride to know everyone enjoys watching our teams, and I had a small part is making that happen.
Skills developed at Lasell?
Real world skills are very hard to obtain unless you are in the real world. Lasell afforded us the opportunity to get that experience in a controlled environment, which was tremendous. My public speaking class assignments gave me the confidence and the knowledge about how to speak effectively in front of people. It's a main reason why I am where I am today.

New Machine
In Fallout From Campaign Law, Liberal Groups Work Together
A Coalition Exempt From Ban On 'Soft Money' Cajoles Anti-Bush People to Vote
MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Rebecca Barson pulled up a chair alongside a tattooed young man sporting a black T-shirt and earring and squinted into a computer screen. "OK," Rob O'Brien told her, "let's cut turf."
And then, with a few keystrokes, the two opened another tiny front in the ground war to defeat George W. Bush -- and the quiet revolution under way within Democratic politics. Ms. Barson, a 27-year-old official at Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, wanted to track down potential voters motivated...

Cheesy Grins, Block Building and Baking!
Only 12 days until Valentine's Day! Can you believe it's already February – where does the time go? Have to get to buying/making your Valentines!!! Well, enough contemplation, let's get onto the good stuff…
Ellie has been learning new words and/or signs left and right! She has added bowl (with the sign), kitchen, cat (with the sign), and computer (just the sign) to her repertoire… there are a few others that I can't think of just now – REALLY, there are!!! She's also very happy to say Hi and Bye to anyone that might be walking or driving past, using her sweetest sing songy voice. She's enjoying watching her Baby Einstein Around the House DVD and is absorbing everything she can from it. I guess she has decided it's time to talk. Seems like a great idea to us – of course in a few months when she has endless questions and lots and lots of stories to tell us, we may be longing for the days of her limited speech. I'm looking forward to hearing more than goblity gook from Miss Ellie, she sounds so cute when she says her new words!! We've discovered that Ellie has quite a knack for building block towers… She is so careful when she's building; really concentrates and takes her time. I think she's got a steadier hand than I do!!!
Thought I would share a pretty tasty recipe from my recent baking experiences. This recipe was supposed to be for loaf bread, but after I mixed it up, it was so thick I thought it would work better as a drop biscuit/scone. And, it did!! Here is the recipe from "lip smackin' Jams & Jellies":
Orange-Marmalade Nut Bread (or Biscuits)
3 cups flour
1 TBSP baking powder
¾ tsp salt
¼ cup sugar
½ cup orange marmalade (would probably work w/ any thick jam)
2 TBSP grated orange rind (I omitted this)
¼ cup shortening
1 egg, well beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup chopped nuts (I used walnuts)
Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and orange rind. Cut in shortening with fork or pastry blender (I used my fingers) – the mix should resemble fine cornmeal. Mix the egg and milk together and add the marmalade. Add this wet mix to the dry and stir just until combined. Do not overmix! Fold in nuts. Pour into a well-greased 10x5x3-inch loaf pan. Let stand for 20 minutes and then bake in a 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes.
***Since the dough was so thick, I dropped the dough onto greased cookie sheets and got about 16 biscuits/scones. I baked them for about 22 minutes and they came out perfect. VERY tasty with butter melting on top!!!
I've been baking bread like crazy the past couple of weeks and also gave orange marmalade a try. The marmalade came out really well and looked so pretty, but we discovered that the flavor is a bit strong for us. Wes and I had never had marmalade, so, this recipe was great to use some of it up. I need something new to bake… Post a comment and give me and idea!! I can easily get obsessed with finding the perfect recipe, so don't make it something too difficult, like croissants!!!
We have also been working around the house, trying to work on some of the projects that just need to get finished. Wes and Derrill ran speaker wire and coaxial cable last weekend. The cable is for our DVR installation next week, and the speaker wire is for our surround sound. Wes has been intent on getting the speakers up on the walls and in their proper surround sound spots since we moved in. Well, now he's done it. Of course, they had to tear into the wall to do it, so now he's got some drywall patchin' to do!!! I've been trying to get our office/craft room/library organized. It has been a huge mess since before Ellie was born – it's our dumping ground and hiding space! I have already filled 3 trash bags and have quite a bit for giveaway/garage sale. It's getting there though. Found some cute boxes and a great easel with a chalkboard on one side and a dry erase board on the other. Lowe's had 'em on the clearance rack - $1.00 each and the boxes each came with two picture frames that matched! Score!! I will post pictures when I get the room cleaned up and cute-ified!!
Hope you all have a nice weekend!
