Home-baked bread need not be an all-day kitchen preoccupation. You can even make up a batch of cornmeal mix so that fresh, hot cornbread is only 20 minutes away. Just add an egg and some milk, stir and bake. The cornmeal mix will keep on the shelf without benefit of refrigeration.
For a change of pace, try a chewy loaf with lots of fiber--from oats, bran and graham flour. This easy-to-make brown bread is very inexpensive to make and is low-fat, with no oil or shortening in the recipe.

Strumica is a town with a very cultivated and tolerant atmosphere. People with great love for knowledge and books - always hungry for learning something new, taste of something new in "the smorgasbord of life". Engaging in completely simple gossip about other people's lives, who is cheating who, who has lost his/her job and why, is an activity wish never really got a foothold here. Reading is therefore a very popular entertainment, a "Mecca" for the inquisitive. Newsagent and warehouse departments in the shops, are therefore fully laden with publications, so that those interested in various subjects never will miss anything new.
The people in town are also very interested in art and culture, to such an extent that for each new exhibition or performance opens, needed plenty of stewards to calm the eager visitors "hanging on the doors" before opening.
It is a very outward-looking people we are talking here, from beggars to the richest class, if you once started a conversation with one of them, never turning his/her head away, but always exclaims in an obvious "hello" or "good day", every time you meet, which often culminates in further pleasant phrases and exchanges of views. Here comes courtesy and respect with their "mother's milk", they will never forget the word thank you!
It is very easy for strangers, no matter of ethnicity, religion or skin color, to start a conversation with people, whether they speak English or not, their natural curiosity for other countries and cultures make them manage to communicate, using the few or many English words they know, mixes it with gestures, and, some international words. The key is to communicate!
This multi-ethnic approach has also caused restaurants to add dishes from many of the world's great kitchen. Gourmets gorges itself with Italian pasta, Norwegian fish, Indian aroma stews, Thai wok dishes, Spanish tapas, North African cous cous dishes, Swedish meatballs and french crepes.
Aprili, april!
April, april fools!

Mal Blum joins Don Giovanni Records
(photo by Shervin Lainez)
We are really excited to be working with Mal Blum on their next album due in the spring. Some may recognize Mal from their song with Chris Gethard on his album we released earlier last year, from their numerous appearances on his show (in fact it was Chris that first brought Mal to our attention years ago), from playing our free outdoor show in New Brunswick earlier this year, or from them touring over the last few years across the US. We couldn't be more excited to work with them on their next album. Mal is working on the album now, which is being produced by Marissa Paternoster for a spring release

Not much in life beats being wrapped in a warm breeze and sipping a cocktail under a tropical moon. Add music, food, fashion, art and a crowd of friendly people enjoying the evening as much as you are, and you've got the makings of a superior night out.
The Honolulu Night Market happens every third Saturday from 6-11 p.m. Performances, activities and vendors are located in the area bordered by Auahi, Keawe and Coral Streets, a light-industrial zone in Kakaako that's being re-invented by entrepreneurs, artists, designers and other innovators. Many of the surrounding warehouses and buildings are embellished by striking murals that set the tone for this creative neighborhood and form a pitch-perfect backdrop for the event, which is designed to showcase fresh perspectives and talent.
In addition to the staples of live music, food vendors and a beer garden, recent night markets featured dance, improv, and musical-theater performances; fashion shows; freestyle motocross, and a futsal tournament. The Pinch of Salt warehouse is stocked with pop-up shops offering clothing and accessories from local retailers and designers, including tempting fashions from Andy South, Cassandra Rull, and Bamboo Sky boutique.
Personal favorite find: cheerful totes cleverly designed by MonstieShop for shopping at farmer's markets. They're durable, easy to clean and have a long, lean shape that hangs from your arm by two broad straps, letting you comfortably carry a bounty of produce without crushing it.
One of Hawaii's most under-utilized features is the fact that outdoor nightlife is possible year-round. Get your share of tropical evening air, island entertainment, and local shopping by checking out the next Honolulu Night Market on Saturday, September 21.

The Portland Trail Blazers have a bunch of questions entering the 2015-16 season. Arguably the biggest one is do they have enough talent to stop opponents on a nightly basis?
The Columbian tries to answer that, along with four other questions, right here:
More from FoxSports
Portland has athletes, but they have little experience meshing with one another, and, pertaining to NBA defense, even more important than physical ability are intelligence and chemistry. Can the Trail Blazers communicate well enough -- and know where to be -- to stop the league's most complex attacks?
It's something we'll all find the answer to in no time.

One of the greatest Android features is auto-brightness implementation. It helps you to auto adjust brightness settings for your phone. In case you are not happy with default auto-brightness, which is sorely lacking in configurability, this article will be useful for you.
We will guide you through setting up the Tasker to toggle the brightness whenever you shake your Android device. This can be helpful, for example, when you are outside and it is not so easy to reach for the brightness slider.
How to increase Brightness whenever you shake your Android?
Let's start. It is important to allow Tasker to administer your device before start. On your device, go to Settings -> Location and security -> Device administrators. Check the box for Tasker.
After that, follow these steps:
- Start the Tasker app. In the main screen, press + at the bottom. Create a new Profile with Toggle Brightness name.
- After that, you need to create an Event context and go to Sensor. Choose the Shake event. For Axis, we recommend you Left-Right (because this is pretty natural way to shake the device). For Sensitivity, choose Very Low to not to accidentally toggle the brightness. You can also leave it at Low in case you think you are having to shake device hard to get it to work. As for Duration, we recommend to choose Medium. It's up to you and you can feel free to make experiments with these settings until you are satisfied.
- Now Exit and create a task (you can skip with the task name, since it is unlikely you will be using it elsewhere.
- Task –> If. Set it to %BRIGHT ~ 255. This will check if the device brightness is already at maximum.
- Display –> Display Brightness. Set the Level to %Bright. This will be the saved brightness that will be restored when you shake the device again.Important: The new version of Tasker doesn't have same settings. In Step 2 you only have a slider to set brightness (you can set it, for example, to 15%). But you have an alternative way: you can go to Display –> Display Brightness screen, click on the little double arrow criss-cross icon at the right top and it will switch the slider to a text input view (if you don't see the icon, go to your UI preferences and uncheck Beginner Mode at first). Here you can specify %Bright and tasker will interpret the variable as a number that will set the brightness. Keep in mind that %Bright must be between 0 and 255 because those are the only acceptable values for the brightness, however this should not cause any problems because you are simply setting brightness to whatever it was previously.
- This settings is optional: Display –> Display Timeout. Set the display timeout to restore to what you are usually use.
- Go to Task –> Else.
- Go to Variables –> Variable Set. Set %Bright to %BRIGHT. This setting is storing the current brightness level to a variable to restore on next shake.
- Now go to Display –> Display Brightness. Set it to 255 level, this will set devices brightness to maximum.
- OPTIONAL: Display –> Display Timeout. Set this to a higher display timeout in case that's what you want.
- Task –> End If.
Tip: If you want to have an icon on top of your phone, so you can monitor whether or not the profile is on. You can do this by adding a Notification to the task.
Now it's finished! From this moment, in case you shake your phone, brightness of your device will toggle between max level and whatever it is you had before you set to the maximum.

Title of Bulletin Board: The Grinch Who Stole Fitness
Category: Holiday-Christmas/Winter
Suggested Grade Level: K-5
Materials: Computer, Construction Paper, Scissors, Laminator, Boarder, Background paper, Grinch Pictures
The purpose of this bulletin board is to remind students that they need to always be mindful about physical fitness. Christmas is typically a time of increased caloric intake, and decreased physical activity due to cold temperatures. Hopefully, this board reminds them to remember their health and fitness.
I first put a red background and brown mountain down. Then I added a gold border. I found pictures of a Grinch. I created a title and speaking bubbles on my computer's word processor. After placing the title and pictures on a green outline I laminated everything to be used again in future years.

Internet Society Statement in Response to Questions regarding the Preliminary Recommendation to award the .ORG Registry to ISOC
We would like to thank the ICANN staff and the evaluation teams for their preliminary recommendation that ISOC be the successor registry operator for .ORG. ISOC believes that the independent analysis undertaken by four separate groups provided an objective mechanism to ensure that the various bids were carefully and fairly reviewed.
Since the draft recommendation was published, the Internet Society (ISOC) has received a few questions that we feel it would be helpful to address.
As the foremost not-for-profit focused on Internet issues, ISOC has a globally diverse membership (65% outside of North America representing 182 countries) and Board of Directors (59% outside of North America)and will be a responsible and knowledgeable stewardfor the .ORG domain. We believe that ISOCs globally representative Board and membership will allow us to support PIR in a way that will leverage insights pertinent to the challenges and concerns of regions across the world. This is further evidenced by the close to 600 letters of support ISOC has received to date from over 82 countries.
We believe ISOC brings the best technical capacity to .ORG through its back-end service provider Afilias, who has unmatched experience in running and operating a large-scale, EPP-based, gTLD registry (.INFO). Afilias currently manages close to one million domain names, and has existing relationships with registrars that represent 99% of .ORG registrants today. Drawing on its experience to help launch the EPP-v6 based .AU registry, Afilias plans would allow an orderly transition of the .ORG registry from its current operator to PIR, and use innovative RRP to EPP proxy technology to provide registrars a trouble-free transition to the new registry operator. This disciplined process will help .ORG remain stable and secure during and after the transition to the new registry operator.
ISOCs proposal also clearly outlines a plan to revitalize .ORG, based on its own expertise in the Internet and non-commercial communities, and this will further .ORGs heritage as the home of non-commercial entities on the Internet. This plan includes a global marketing and public relations program focused on educating non-commercial organizations on the uses of the Internet, with the development of other input mechanisms such as a .ORG Advisory Council and various Web-based tools and features. These will allow .ORG registrants to have a role in the management of .ORG that is absent today.
In addition to this, PIR and Afilias will modernize .ORG with new technical standards by upgrading the registry system to support the new, faster EPP protocol and reducing registration to resolution time from hours to minutes. In addition, the proposal includes new registry services such as name locking, site linking, directory, and ID certification designed to deliver tailored, valuable services to meet the unique needs of .ORG registrants.
Overall, we believe ISOC's experience as a not-for-profit organization combined with our expertise in the Internet area, and therefore resultant familiarity with the non-commercial community's problems and needs, coupled with Afilias expertise as a stable and proven back end provider, enables us to fully meet all the criteria set forth by the ICANN Board.
We are preparing a formal response to the preliminary staff report. However, in the interim supplemental information can be found at www.isoc.org. We thank the ICANN staff and evaluation teams for their diligence and we welcome the opportunity to answer additional questions with regards to ISOC or our proposal.

Hiking Torres del Paine, W Circuit: Day 3 is part of a 5-posts series. Find Day 4 here.
My knees hurt a lot. I take the Voltaren gel and I spread it thoroughly on my poor articulations to ease the pain. Even though we pay a lot for that, a enjoy very much the breakfast at the Los Cuernos Lodge with scrambled eggs, cheese, cereals, tea and orange juice.
At 9.30 we are ready to live. This will be another long day, as we have to reach the camping Grey – the whole path carrying our big and heavy backpacks.
We reach the free camping site Campamento Italiano at 11.45. During the trek from Los Cuernos to here, we enjoy the great view and a small walk on the gravelly beach of the Nordernskjöld Lake. After a little break with some cereal bars and a mango, we proceed to Paine Grande.
The Sköttsberg Lake is stunning as the previous one. This part of the trek is where a fire was allegedly provoked by an Israeli guy, Rotem Singer. An area of more than 17600 hectares was completely burnt. The trees have now silver shades instead of the cortex, and they still keep their beauty.
It's very windy and I pull the zip of my jacket up. After one last sprint, we arrive, tired but extremely happy, at Paine Grande. It's 1.45 pm.
Paine Grande has a lodge, managed by Vertice Sur, and a well-equipped, sheltered kitchen area with ample tables and power sockets. We are definitely hungry: after the sandwich included in the packed lunch from Los Cuernos, I cook a pasta with tomato sauce. Just to recharge the batteries!
At 3.45 pm we leave the camping and we start walking to the Camping Grey – our final destination for today. The wind blows stronger than before. I can here the light rain ticking on my plastic backpack cover.
Finally, we glimpse the Glaciar Grey: it's magnificent. I climb on the top of a short cliff to better admire it: the wind almost blows me down, but I stand up long enough to take a photo. It's like the sun's trying to break the clouds, generating an indescribable effect – a sort of graceful, transparent curtain made of raindrops.
We surpass the Laguna Los Patos, drink some water and keep walking: after 4 hours we are at the camping Grey. My legs are completely destroyed but I feel that kind of energy which would allow me to walk for additional 10 km without feeling more pain. I still have the force to stretch a bit, then I go to cook the last rice we have. The kitchen area is definitely too small for the number of people who wish to use it.
I carve out a little angle where to cook my rice, then Vicente and Xavi join me. Here we meet Pablo, that with his sister is cooking pasta with mushrooms, cream, and sausage. That's high-style camping cuisine. They also saved a bottle of wine for the last night, raising a collective 'what the actual fuck?' – I really feel every gram I carry, and they have been walking 4 days with a bottle of red wine.
After dinner, I have some difficulty to come back to the tent. Vicente decides he will stay at the camping tomorrow, and Xavi will just come to the first Grey lookout. I'm instead committed to reach the Paso Jhon Gardner, the highest point of both O and W circuit at 1200 m.
Snacks: 2 cereal bars – mango
Dinner: 170 g rice + 200 g tomato sauce + soup
Kms walked / Hours: 27 km / 7 h 45 min

This week's Kitchen Basics 101 is all about How to Properly Clean a Cutting Board. I don't know about you, but we use our cutting board almost every day. Normally, we use it to cut up our veggies and fruits, but there are times when we need to use it for raw fish or meat. It is very important to wash your cutting board no matter what you are using it for. You don't want to contaminate your food and make everyone in your family sick with food poisoning! Follow these simple steps below to clean your cutting board and eliminate the risk of cross contamination. Remember, you always want to cut your vegetables before you cut your meats.
There are several ways to get your cutting board clean. You can clean your cutting board with dish soap and hot water. This method works fine in killing germs. You can also spray your cutting board with hydrogen peroxide. I know you are thinking that I'm crazy for suggesting hydrogen peroxide, but it really does clean a wooden cutting board! My next suggestion is my favorite and how I usually clean my cutting board! Vinegar!! You all know how much I love vinegar and it is no different in this instance. Clean your cutting board with dish soap and hot water, then spray your board with vinegar. I like to let it sit for several minutes, or longer, and then I rinse with hot water. Let air dry in a clean spot.
Here is a break down of how I clean my wooden cutting board. ( or Polyethylene)
#1. Put cutting board in the sink.
#2. Thoroughly clean with dish soap and hot water.
#4. Spray with white vinegar. Allow to sit for several minutes and then rinse.
#4. Let the cutting board to air dry.
#5. Put the clean cutting board in a dry and clean spot.
I really advise against using any type of bleach product on your cutting board. This is a personal preference of mine, of course, but why put all those harsh chemicals on something that you are going to put your food on?
How do you keep your cutting board clean? I'd love to hear about it! So, leave me a comment and tell me how you clean your cutting board!
Check out my party page to see where I am partying at this week.

Controlling the game through Microsoft Kinect or PlayStation Move is already quite cool. But now, there is a game that can be controlled only through the mind. Much more cool is not it?
The game is not Crysis-style shooting games, or other games that brings interesting graphic quality. Rather, a simple game with the main purpose to move objects.
However, Throw guaranteed Trucks With Your Mind is exciting because it will make the players seemed to have the ability as Jean Grey in X-Men movie.
To play players must wear special headsets made by NeuroSky's MindWave. This product will recognize the user's brain waves and then convert it to be able to control objects in the game.
In order to successfully play the game the minds of gamers also should be calm and able to focus on an object, in this case is a tank, box, or any object in the game. The more focused the player, the more distant the object can be thrown.
Throw Trucks With Your Mind itself was developed by game developer named Lat Ware, 28 years old from Sunnyvale, California, USA. He says his obsession to develop this game was inspired by the ability of the Jedi in Star Wars.

My buddy and I went on a photo safari. We started at his place, where I captured this shot of his cat Saucer. Hey, Saucer, you photogenic little tiger cat thing! Saucer is smarter than most children.
We stopped by Mt. Zion Pentecostal Church in DC. It's a beautiful old brick building. There were some services going on inside.

Home insurance can be confusing when you've bought a new home or when you've been a homeowner for 40 years. One thing to remember: you need to insure your home for the cost to replace it, not the market or real estate value. What that means is that the cost of the land or what school system your house is in, isn't a factor- but working around existing trees and power lines is a factor!
Another thing to remember is that your home insurance should cover a lot more than just damage to your home.
Ask an insurance professional for specific limits, but generally, there are many more coverages within your policy limits, such as:
· Your personal property
· Additional structures on your property- like a pool, fence, or garage
· Additional living expenses if you're unable to live at home while your home is being repaired from its loss
· Liability insurance which protects you from a lawsuit if you damaged or injured someone else or their property
· Medical payments for people injured on your property
Some other coverages that might be covered by your home insurance policy are:
· Fallen trees
· Sinkhole coverage
· Identity Fraud
· Debris removal
· Food spoilage from power outages
· Mold, Fungi, Dry Rot
· Replacement of trees, plants, or shrubs
· Sewers & Drain back-up
Keep in mind that as broad is your home insurance might be there are many limits to the policy as well. Be sure to speak with your insurance agent about the limits to your jewelry, guns, collectible items, silverware, computer equipment, or other valuable items to make sure that you have enough coverage! Likewise, you might want to talk to your insurance agent about increasing your liability limit by adding on an umbrella policy. This will more adequately protect your assets if you did have a potential lawsuit.
Generally speaking, your home insurance will not automatically cover earthquake or flood. You will most likely have to purchase a separate policy if you would like that coverage.
If you have a mortgage on your home, your bank will usually require home insurance. As I mentioned earlier, you do not need to insure your home for the mortgage amount or the amount mandated by your bank! Most of the time, you will need more coverage than their mandated limit. Their limits are normally at a minimum coverage to just protect the home itself, which is the primary interest of the bank. As always, speak with your insurance professional to discuss their estimated replacement cost for your home. But remember that it's always up to you as the homeowner to make sure that you have enough coverage on your home.
What are the types of Home Policies?
There are several home polices. Each form has a different coverage to it. Generally speaking, here are the most common types of home policies available:
What are the Rating Factors for my Home Insurance?
There are many different factors that help determine how much you pay for your home insurance. Some of the biggest factors that determine your insurance premium are: the age of the house, the building materials used, location, size, distance to fire station and hydrant, your credit history, your claims history, and many others
What about all of My Stuff?
There can be a big difference in coverage for your belongings! The main thing to check your home policy for is to see if your property will be covered for "Actual Cash Value" or "Replacement Cost." Actual Cash Value means that the insurance policy will cover your belonging at full replacement value, but then remove the cost for depreciation. Whereas Replacement Cost means that the insurance company will pay for the full replacement cost of your belongings. Replacement Cost gives you much more protection and the better option! For example, if your 10 year old TV burned in a house fire, if you had an Actual Cash Value policy, you would get a check for the value of a similar TV minus the depreciation for its age. On the flip side, if you had a Replacement Cost policy, you would get a check for the value of a brand new TV of like, kind, and quality.
What's this I see about Additional Replacement Cost?
Many insurance companies have an endorsement to your home that goes above and beyond the value it's insured at. This endorsement is designed to protect you after a disaster. The main time this coverage would be very valuable is if there was a major disaster and the demand for contractors or building materials caused the normal cost of reconstruction to increase. There are two main options for this coverage.
1. Guaranteed Replacement Cost- This option is the less common option available and it's tougher to find a company that offers this coverage. It will pay for the Complete Cost of replacing or repairing a house that has been damaged or needs to be completely rebuilt, regardless of the cost.
2. Additional Replacement Cost- This option is the more common of the two. It will pay to a specified limit above the policy to replace or repair the house; usually the limits available are either 25% or 50%. Meaning, your home may have a coverage limit of $250,000, but if you have the Additional Replacement Cost endorsement for 50% and your home was destroyed, you would have up to an extra $125,000 to help rebuild your home.
There are a couple stipulations that are used to make sure you're adequately insuring your house, so speak with your insurance professional to make sure you qualify for this endorsement!
Should I have a Home Inventory?
It is vital to have an accurate home inventory list. The two main reasons are to make sure you have enough personal property coverage to protect your belongings in the event of a loss. Also, it simplifies the claims process if you do have a loss. It's very difficult to re-account for everything you owned, particularly after a traumatic experience like a home loss.
Check out our bog on home inventories to learn more information!
Do I really need to Read my Home Policy? YES!
Your policy may renew each and every year, but if you never read your policy, you are leaving yourself vulnerable. At your renewal, you home insurance company has the opportunity to change the language of your policy. You may not know if there have been any changes to your policy that might affect you if you do not read over your policy every year. There are several big named insurance companies that are now requiring a percentage for deductible at the renewal of their home policies. For instance, if you have a 1% deductible and your home is insured at $300,000, your deductible would be $3,000.
Or you might be the consumer that re-shops their insurance every few years, you might be not be aware of what you're leaving behind with your old insurance company that may be very valuable if you do not read your policy thoroughly!

12-13 feb : SSTV image by ISS Space Station (MAI exp. )
Slow-scan television (SSTV) transmissions are planned from the International Space Station (ISS) on February 13-14, 2017.
The SSTV images will be transmitted as part of the MAI-75 Experiment on 145.800 MHz FM using the Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver located in the Russian ISS Service module. It is thought they may use the PD-180 SSTV format.
The MAI-75 activities have been scheduled for the Russian crew on Monday, February 13 from 09:25-18:00 GMT and Tuesday, February 14 from 11:25-16:30 GMT.
Note the ISS transmissions on 145.800 MHz FM use the 5 kHz deviation standard rather than the narrow 2.5 kHz used in Europe. If your transceiver has selectable FM filters try the wider filter.

There was a tweet by the ISS Ham Twitter account that said the MAI-75 experiment was having issues, but didn't elaborate.
No mention on the plans for 14 February, or if this experiment will be extended, to make up for missing today.

No MAI-75 SSTV
Indeed, the issue for me is that there are no scheduled passes over me during the times they are operating SSTV. Can someone tell me why the SSTV system can not be left unattended overnight?
Russian Experiment
This is a Russian experiment. They used to just activate it when they were in range of Moscow. Now they at least leave it active during the rest of the passes that cover Moscow. I can only guess that they want the system monitored and chose not to run it when the crew is asleep.

When I ship a puppy they need to be a minimum of 8 weeks old, that is the legal age that they can fly, so I usually plan their trip on or around the date they are old enough. I ship out of Appleton, Wisconsin, it is a little over an hour away from us, and I use Delta or United Airlines for my flights.
**In September of 2017 I was informed that United Airlines has temporarily stopped shipping puppies out of Appleton and Green Bay, WI. I was not given any information about when they will resume shipping so at the moment I am only able to use Delta Airlines**
When someone calls me about the cost of shipping a puppy I give them a standard price that includes the cost of the flight, crate, and health certificate. The crate that the puppy comes home with is a travel crate only, it is not to be used for training purposes. A health certificate is required to ship a puppy and I take care of that when the puppy is examined by my vet. Delta only allows a puppy's flight to be booked 13 days in advance, United does not have a time restriction, as soon as a puppy is adopted I can call and arrange a flight with them, so I usually look up a flight schedule with both airlines, discuss it with the adopting family, and when we have one picked out I will call as soon as I can to arrange the flight and then email the details over to the receiving family. I am very picky about how long a puppy is traveling so I always aim to get the shortest flight that I can. Unless you are receiving your puppy in Detroit, Minneapolis, or Atlanta they will have a flight with a layover, the only direct flights out of Appleton are in the cities I just mentioned. Unless your puppy is traveling late at night and there is a time/date change, your puppy will arrive the same day that they leave.
When arranging a flight I ask that the receiving family give me two International Airport options to choose from and I will try to book the flight for the airport that they prefer, but will ultimately choose the one with the shortest flight option. Some airports are too small and do not take pets so I always ask for larger airport options to ship to. I always try to get the shortest layover possible and Delta does offer what they call a 'DASH' service where, for an extra fee, you can get better flight options with shorter layovers. United is more expensive than Delta but one benefit to them is that they already have shorter layovers than Delta and do not charge extra fees based on the travel times. Some people are not willing to pay for the Delta 'dash' service or the extra cost to ship with United so I book the shortest option available no matter what service I am using and I do not book puppies on flights with double connections. Occasionally I will call to arrange a flight and find out that particular airports only offer the 'dash' service for pets so the cost is higher. If I become aware of a price change I will contact the family first to ask if they are okay with the change, and if they are not, we will then look for a different airport to ship their puppy to.
One downfall with using Delta is that I have found them to be 'money hungry!' Quite often I will call to book a flight and, surprise, they have created another policy on shipping that requires more money. This just recently happened to me, I called to book a 7am flight and was told that any flights up until 7am are now automatically priced as 'dash' because the airport is very busy in the morning. "Dash" is supposed to provide a shorter layover, hence the higher price, but this is not the case in the early morning flights, the flight I called to book had a 3 hour layover and I was still charged an extra $130 for the flight simply based on its time. I have not had these types of issues with United and I must admit that I prefer using them when possible.
Once the flight is booked I will email the receiving family the flight details, directions on where to pick up the puppy, and also a tracking # so that they can watch the flight status online. I ask that all families who are having their puppies shipped keep a free schedule for the day that they are receiving their puppy, be open to traveling to an airport a little farther away if necessary, and realize that their puppy may be arriving later at night or on a more expensive flight if I have to avoid warm temperatures or make travel changes.
Delta has a lot of rules for shipping a puppy, often times I've had families look up flight schedules online and question why I am not using one flight versus another and, trust me, it's not that simple! Not every flight you see posted online is 'pet friendly.' For their lowest priced flights Delta requires that the layover time be a minimum of two hours, so if you see a flight listed with a layover time of less than two hours they will charge you extra, what they call a 'dash' flight. If you see a layover time of less than one hour they do not allow you to book it for a puppy. Delta requires that pets be checked in 2 hours in advance for flights. When shipping I have to allow time to drive to the airport, wait in line, do the actual check in paperwork, and have everything done before that two hour mark. They now have it set up so that if you arrive late, or the attendant is slow, and you don't have the puppy checked in by that 2 hour mark they will lock you out of the system and deny the flight! The Delta desk in Appleton does not open until 4:30 a.m. so with their 2 hour check in rule it limits the use of early morning flights that they may have available, for example I cannot book a puppy onto a 5:30am flight because the desk is not open 2 hour in advance for me to get them checked in on time. There is a lot more involved in the process so that's why I always tell people to let me handle the research on the flights.
On the day of the flight I have to arrive 2.5 to 3 hours early to the airport to check in the puppy, fill out the paperwork, and pay for their plane ticket. After the puppies are all checked in and the paperwork is done I then email the family to let them know their puppy is checked in and ready to go. If there is ever a delay or cancellation I keep in touch with the receiving family so everyone knows when to expect their puppy. Both airlines are really good about shipping puppies but occasionally there will be a flight change, delay, or cancellation and I just ask the family to stay in touch with me throughout the day and check their emails. Both airlines also have a really nice option on their websites where you can track the flights and check on status of your puppy the entire time that they are traveling.
Pro's of using Delta: Their standard flights are cheaper than United, but do have longer layovers- a minimum of two hours.
Delta ships to more locations.
They do offer a "Dash" service that is more expensive but has a shorter layover, less than two hours, minimum of one hour.
The Con's of using Delta: Per Delta's restrictions it has to be a minimum of 10 degrees and maximum of 85 degrees outside, at all stops, to ship a puppy. If it is too hot or too cold in any place that the puppy is traveling to I may need to reschedule the flight either for a later time, different day, on a different flight, or with a different airline to avoid temperature issues. Detroit and Minneapolis are two of the layover cities that Delta uses and they get quite cold in Winter which can also really limit the flight options because if either city is going to be less than 10 degrees on the day of shipping the flight will be cancelled. In Winter if I have to use Delta I look for flights that have a layover in Atlanta to avoid having problems with temperatures but if the layover is less than 2 hours they will of course charge you more for the 'dash' flight.
Changing flights sometimes results in having to use what Delta calls their 'dash' flights and this results in a higher cost for shipping your puppy because Delta charges more for the flights with shorter layovers, if this happens I will always ask the receiving family first to make sure they are ok with spending the extra money. If they are not okay with spending the extra money then I may need to explore other airport options.
Delta's policies change on a regular basis and that generally means that they are going to find one more way to charge you extra money. I have found in recent years that they are shortening their layover times so that you are either limited on what flights you can put puppies on otherwise you will be forced to pay their 'dash prices.'
I cannot book a flight with them until 13 days in advance which gives us all less time to plan.
Pro's of using United: United does not have the temperature restrictions that Delta has because all of the airports they ship to, except Salt Lake City, participate in the Summer Cooling Program so during the Summer months this is very beneficial if it is hot and I am having issues shipping with Delta. They also do not have temperature restrictions in Winter (unless the weather is really bad) so I prefer to use them for shipping puppies in the colder months.
Their layovers are shorter than Delta's, and even with them being a bit more expensive than Delta, they are still cheaper than Delta's Dash service. Most flights that I have booked with them have layovers of less than two hours where Delta's are a minimum of two hours.
I can book flights way farther in advance with them than I can with Delta and that gives everyone way more time to plan things out.
Con's of using United: They are a little more expensive than Delta, but to me, this really isn't a true 'con' because they have better layover times and I personally don't want my puppies sitting in an airport for long amounts of time.
They don't ship to as many places as Delta.
Because of all of the above I ask that everyone keep a free schedule on the day they are receiving their puppy just in case there are temperature issues or changes in flights. I realize it may not be the most convenient to pick up a puppy late at night or to have to pay a higher fee but sometimes I don't have a choice if it is too hot or too cold- the weather and flight changes are the two major things I cannot control in this process. Just to clarify: the temperature restrictions are set up because the airline does not want to expose your pet to extreme hot or cold while they are being transported from the plane to the airport. While traveling inside the plane they are always in an area where it is either heated or cooled depending on the season.
When a family picks up their puppy at the airport everything will be prepaid by me, they will simply have to show their I.D., sign some paperwork and take their puppy home. The puppy will arrive to them in their travel crate and there will be an envelope attached to the top of that crate that contains all of the necessary paperwork including a copy of their health guarantee and the puppy's health records, etc. I greatly appreciate it when they notify me that they have received their puppy as I do watch their flight status online to be sure everything is going o.k.
For families living in Canada the airlines no longer offer shipping puppies to Canadian Airports. I realize this is inconvenient, but we have found a solution, and that requires anyone living in Canada to pick their puppy up at the nearest U.S. airport and drive them across the border. It is totally legal, we do it all the time, and the only additional requirement is an International Health Certificate which you will need when crossing the border. So, if you live in Canada and are willing to drive a bit, please do not hesitate to contact me about getting a puppy.
Quite often I have families ask me if it is traumatic or dangerous to ship a puppy. Honestly, it can be a long day, but I do not think that it is dangerous or something to get really nervous about. I am picky about the flights I choose, I will not ship in dangerous weather, and I will not ship a puppy if I do not feel they are ready for it. Over and over again I have had families who have had their puppies shipped contact me and tell me that they were way more nervous about it than they should have been and that the entire process was much easier than they had thought it would be.
If you live far away from us and are nervous about shipping a puppy you may want to consider flying here to pick up your puppy. We have had several families fly to Wisconsin, pick up their puppy, and fly home with them. When traveling with a puppy they are allowed to ride in the passenger area of the plane with you but must be placed in a crate below the seat in front of you. I personally have done both, I have had purchased puppies shipped to me and I have also flown out of state to pick up and take back a puppy home with me, either way works out fine but I personally prefer to have them shipped to me.
I hope this helps better explain things and if you have any additional questions about shipping a puppy please contact me.

I can safely say that my decision to leave the rat race and become an illustrator is directly related to the Burning Man Festival. Seeing so much creativity in one place was eye opening to say the least, and put my choice of working to live – rather than living to work – into perspective. Everyone needs to go at least once!
As well as experiencing the fruits of some of the most imaginative & creative brains on the planet, I also met some amazing inspiring people. In my third year at the festival, virtual strangers Darren and Sian were kind enough to adopt me and Tom as RV roomies at the last minute. And I'm so pleased they did as I got to know two amazing people who are clearly meant to be together.
I mention all this because Darren and Sian starred in Come Dine With Me Couples on Monday 7 July on Channel 4 and my illustration of them briefly featured in the show. Whilst at Burning Man my brother, Matt Morgan, took a beautiful photograph of them, and Darren commissioned me to create this artwork from that photograph. The words on the picture "cog love is all you need" sparked a funny conversation about pet names. Watch the episode on 4OD to see how Darren and Sian did. (*spoiler alert* they did pretty bloomin well actually!)
If you like this, check out some of my other private commissions. To find out more about commissioning me to create a personalised illustration for you or someone special, please get in touch.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Release Date: September 27, 2011
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Genre: YA Fantasy
Book Description: Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.
In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.
And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.
Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.
When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?
BCM: You have three scuppies. What do you wish for?
LT: Scuppies, well. They can't do much. They are great for annoying people, of course—I don't think I'd be above sending out itches every now and then. Guy talking too loud at the cafe? Itch. Mean kid on playground? Itch. Crazy Michelle Bachman? Itch itch itch. (Ooh, I sense a career in plaguing awful politicians! Just imagine those pasted on smiles going all tight and grimacey ☺)
When I was a teenager I'd very likely have used scuppies for pimple-banishment. Thank goodness I don't need that anymore! Wishing stains out of clothes, maybe, as mundane as that sounds. I never thought about the way that having a toddler would ruin my clothes! Silly me. Little handprints everywhere.
A shing, now, I would definitely make use of a shing in the same way Karou did. I would wish my hair naturally pink so I wouldn't have to go to the salon!
BCM: Which wish from DoS&B is your favorite? I'm partial to the itch myself. :-)
LT: I thought Svetla's eyebrows were pretty wicked punishment—if slightly unfair. Kaz was the one most deserving punishment! He got it, of course, eventually ☺.
My favorite wish would have to be Karou's gavriel wish, I don't want to say what it is. I didn't always know I was going to do that, and when it hit me, I was so glad the book went in that direction. It was such fun, and it felt like an "of course" when it played out.
BCM: If you were chimaera, what attributes would you possess and why?
LT: I would have to go with Kirin: high-human aspect with bat wings, gazelle horns, and legs that taper from the knee to antelope's feet. Horns are just cool. In the earliest freewrite I ever did with these characters, out of which the whole story grew, Karou was teasing Brimstone by telling him she was going to have horns surgically implanted in her forehead.
This was before I knew who these characters were; I only knew there was a father-daughter relationship going on, in spite of the "father" being a monster. Karou was more antagonistic and more troubled in her very earliest incarnation, but the roots of her were there, and she soon found herself.
Like her, I would dream of flying. Wings are beautiful. A fox's tail would be fun too. That made its way into the book in a small scene.
BCM: What is the weirdest/creepiest errand you've ever been sent on?
LT: There was that terrible time I had to bring the One Ring into Mordor and throw it into the fires of Mount Doom …
Oh wait, okay, that wasn't me. But that has to be the worst errand ever. Poor Frodo.
For myself, nothing is coming to mind! I'm pretty bad at errands, actually, pretty bad at many daily life things like laundry and bill-paying too. Head in the clouds. Thank goodness my husband steps up and does these things.
I can say though (this isn't an errand), that while traveling in Vietnam in the 1990s, I did visit an animal market in Saigon like Karou does early on, and her reaction to it was pretty much based on my own. It was a horrible place, every imaginable animal being sold as food or parts or medicine or whatever. It made me ill.
BCM: Do you have any drawings of Karou's that you could share with us?
LT: Here are two that Jim has done of her, and I love them! (Writers: marry illustrators! It's so handy!) I love that these are so beautiful but you still don't get a clear sense of Karou, and can visualize her as you wish.

Overwatch's Halloween event returns with a new surprise. In addition to the standard Brawl mode, Junkenstein's Revenge, the event offers an endless Junkenstein mode. It's still the same mode where you fend off waves of monsters and protect the gates of a castle, but instead of going through a set series of waves players try to see how far they can go in a game. You also get to play as Zenyatta, Genji, Torbjörn, and Widowmaker in addition to McCree, Ana, Hanzo, and Soldier 76. Here are 10 tips and tricks you need to know to ensure your game lasts for a long time.
1. Zenyatta Is Essential
Zenyatta is so useful in this mode that he should be included on every team. Not only is his orb great for healing Genjis who like to stay near enemy spawns, but he's also a great fighter in his own right. His orbs pack a punch and his discord orb can make the surprisingly bulky zombics and monsters much easier to handle. He can even throw a discord orb at the dreaded Junkenstein Tire, which careens to your castle gate for massive damage. He can also charge up his orb barrage to defeat Junkenstein's Monster a lot quicker as well. His ultimate also heals multiple people around him which can prevent team wipes.
2. Torbjörn Is Great as Well
Torbjörn is also a solid choice for games. His turret puts constant pressure on enemies moving towards the center of the map tower defense-style, which only gets stronger with his Ultimate. His gun is also nothing to sneeze at as well. Torbjörn can also help teammates out by creating armor packs for extra HP.
3. Choose Hanzo or Widowmaker Depending on Your Preference
It can be hard to choose between Widowmaker and Hanzo as they both fulfill the role of stopping opponents at long range. Both have their pros and cons. Widowmaker shoots opponents faster and more accurately, can zoom across the stage and out of the range of monsters, and can deal chip damage with her venom mine which enemies will easily run into. However her Ultimate isn't really all that useful aside from alerting you to where enemies will pop out of next. Hanzo isn't as accurate with his bow but his ultimate is also one of the best to use in the mode, able to clear many Zomnics along the central road leading to the castle. However his scatter arrow misses more times than not and his sonic arrow is useless other than alerting teammates to the positions of enemies. Both heroes are able to stop most of Junkenstein's Tires with a fully charged shot. No matter who you pick, be sure to get up on the vantage points along the wall to the left or even on Junkenstein's perch.
4. You Only Need to Complete 12 Turns for Victory
In order to actually win the mode and claim your free loot box, you need to survive 12 turns of endless mode. Every other turn after that is a bonus turn which boosts your score.
5. Use Ultimates Often
With how many things you have to fight and take down, you'd be surprised by how fast your Ultimate gauge can fill. That's why you shouldn't hesitate to use them. I'm not saying to spend them willy nilly since that's not going to help anybody. You still need to activate them at the right moments. But you'll get way more chances to use Ultimates if you keep firing them off one after the other. McCree's ultimate is especially great to use since it can take down monsters like Junkenstein's Monster and Reaper in one hit as well as taking down multiple Zomnics.
6. Focus Your Attacks on One Monster at a Time
When multiple monsters are on the battlefield, focus your fire on only one. Don't try to juggle between firing at different monsters. Otherwise both monsters stay out for longer instead of one dropping early and one surviving longer.
7. Don't Underestimate the Summoner
The Summoner is actually quite scary, and not just because it's Halloween. Her shield generator adds shields to all enemies, including Junkenstein's Tire! Her attack is also very sticky and can chip away at your health of you don't get her off your tail. Take her down as soon as you can when she appears.
8. Take Down the Witch as Soon as Possible
The Witch appears later in games and often with multiple other monsters. It's paramount that you take her down first because if you try to attack the other monsters she'll just heal the damage back. She doesn't seem to fight back, instead preferring her monster allies to take you down instead. So focus all your fire on her, just like you would any other Mercy in a regular Overwatch match.
9. Don't Ignore the Zomnics
While you should focus on killing the monsters as fast as possible as they can down you and make you waste time, they actually don't threaten the main objective of keeping the castle gate safe. The Zomnics do and their damage can really add up if you ignore them. That's why you should occasionally check to see if Zomnics are arriving at your doorstep as you are fighting monsters so you can take them down before they explode.
10. Don't Panic
When tons of monsters and Zomnics are thrown at you, it can be quite overwhelming. However, just take a breather and focus on targeting a single monster. As you pick off monsters and thin the herd a bit, things will be much more manageable.

At the very heart of Romantic period writing is rebellion stemmed from experimentation, a desire to push boundaries, and a newfound interest in the psychology of the individual. However, although these same ideas are the root of both American Romanticism and British Romanticism (and one can therefore find many parallels between the two) the way that they are actually expressed in writing differs quite significantly. To explore this comparison further, I took a look at the short fiction story "Young Goodman Brown" by a famous American Romantic, Nathaniel Hawthorne.
A seemingly obvious feature of "Young Goodman Brown" that I felt set it apart from many of the British Romantic writers (at the very least the ones that we have read) was the fact that it was written in the form of a short fiction story. With the exception of "Belinda" and Hazlitt's writings, the British Romantics seem to prefer to express their ideas via poetry or via an essay. As short fictional stories were quite popular with the American Romantics, I'd consider this a fairly large distinction between the two. Because of this distinction, the overall feel of the writings from these two groups differed greatly. With the common essay format of the British Romantics, the reader knows before they even begin reading that he or she is going to be reading the direct thoughts and ideas of the author. With an American Romantic short story, these thoughts and ideas tend to be a bit more muddled and take more analysis to extract. In "Young Goodman Brown," for example, the most basic of summaries is that the main character, Young Goodman Brown, ventures into the woods for an unknown mission, has something of a dream or vision in the woods, and then returns to his town a completely changed and now miserable man. If the reader were then to investigate further and beyond the obvious, he or she could see that this tale has deeper meaning and can be considered a tale of lost faith (both in humanity and religion) as well as a critique of organized religion and those who blindly follow it. Although the British Romantic poems also require that the reader search beyond the base meaning and words of the poem, I found the particular style of the American Romantics in addressing a topic such as religion more pleasurable to read and easier to relate to.
Although the format and writing style differs between the two romantics, I've found that the two address many of the same topics albeit in different manners. As mentioned in the above paragraph, a major focus of Hawthorne is the idea of religion and what he believes to be wrong about it, not unlike Blake's critique in "Marriage of Heaven and Hell." However, in readings of other American romantics, I've found their viewpoints to be more exploratory than those of the British romantics who tend to remark on God and their faith in a matter-of-fact way and be more exploratory in other topics such as nature and the human response to it. The American romantics also wrote frequently on nature and the human response which can be seen in"Young Goodman Brown." In this story, nature (or the woods) are presented as a "dark wilderness…peopled with frightful sounds (392)". This type of description of nature as something supernatural and potentially frightening is something that can be seen in British romantic writings such as Robinson's "The Haunted Beach," Wordsworth's "Tintern Abbey," and Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," with the mysterious and powerful albatross.
Overall, although there were many differences between the type and feel of the writings of the American romantics and the writings of the British romantics, there are several key topics and ideas that tied the two groups together.

From Kieran Corcoran writing at the Daily Mail:
Confederate flags have been falling across the United States since the racist church massacre in Charleston, South Carolina, sparked a national outcry over the symbol.
But in Tampa Bay, Florida, the battle flag of the rebel South was out in force Friday night at a 'Ride With Pride' event attended by hundreds who wore and flew the controversial symbol.
On pick-up trucks, choppers, t-shirts and even inked onto demonstrators' skin, the distinctive flag was repeated hundreds of times alongside combative slogans like 'try burning this, asshole' and 'come and take it'.
