Preheat oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease and 8" square baking pan; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk whole egg and yolk until blended. Whisk in melted butter until mixture is slightly thickened. Stir in snickerdoodle mix until mixture is well-blended; set aside.
To make the caramel sauce, combine brown sugar, butter and cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla and salt. Allow mixture to cool 5 minutes.
Divide snickerdoodle dough in half and press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Drizzle half of the caramel mixture over the top, then crumble remaining snickerdoodle dough over caramel.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the caramel is bubbling. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack, then cut into 16 squares. Enjoy!

The idea behind Cayova, a startup moving its headquarters to Chicago via Dublin, is that the time we spend in the digital world and the information we share about ourselves is a valuable commodity to marketers.
So why shouldn't we, as consumers, maintain control over what we share? And if we do share, why shouldn't we be compensated?
Cayova, which launched a beta version last week, is a Facebook-style social network with two powerful privacy-related features. With one download, Cayova members can block ads as well as advertising networks trying to gather information about their online searches.
Cayova also allows members to set up multiple profiles — for relatives, work colleagues, friends and "the public," for instance — and control which groups see which posts.
The company is the creation of two deep-pocketed European entrepreneurs, Paul Williams and Rupert Lywood. In 2007, Williams sold Dublin-based Trinergy Ltd., a wind energy company he founded, to International Power PLC for $2.5 billion. Trinergy's backers included London-based Matrix Group Ltd., which Lywood co-founded.
Williams is originally from Dublin, where the site was created.
"They had 25 programmers busy working away the last 11 months actually creating the product, but they knew the global headquarters was not going to be in Ireland," said Maura Daley, Cayova's director of strategic partnerships and U.S. employee No. 1. "They really saw the most value in being based in the U.S. So I come on board in February and was tasked with finding the location for the headquarters. ... And I had a strong case for the city of Chicago."
Daley, 32, is the daughter of former White House chief of staff Bill Daley and niece of former Mayor Richard M. Daley. She previously worked for Bono's ONE campaign, which fights global poverty.
Daley said Cayova is searching for a chief executive and chief technology officer, who will be based in Chicago. She said Cayova plans to hire 50 people in the next year at its yet-to-be leased River North headquarters. It will retain a satellite office for programmers in Dublin, Daley said. Cayova Ltd., the parent company, is headquartered in London.
Competing against Facebook is going to require an enormous investment. According to the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, 67 percent of online American adults are Facebook users, compared with 20 percent who use LinkedIn and 16 percent who use Twitter.
In a December phone survey, Pew asked the 61 percent of Facebook users who reported having taken a break from the site — 361 people — to explain why. About 1 in 5 of the Facebook vacationers said they did so because they were too busy. Concerns about privacy, security, ads and spam ranked as reason No. 10 with 4 percent of vacationers.
Lee Rainie, the Pew project's director, said he has noticed young people giving up Facebook for Lent, for instance.
"They're recognizing that they're spending too much time on it, given that the things their friends are sharing aren't particularly interesting or relevant to their life," he said.
Cayova addresses what Facebook users say they want, which Rainie described as "control" and "no surprises."
"They're concerned about who can see their stuff or misunderstand their stuff and intrude into their lives," Rainie said.
If a Cayova user downloads what's called a Cayova Box, he or she can turn off all advertising. If a user chooses to accept ads, he or she can supply some personal information and preferences to help advertisers tailor their pitches.
So why would someone choose to accept ads? Because Cayova will pay them for it. ("Cayova" is a shortening of "capture your value.")
"Our theory is, if you're watching those ads and inevitably making purchases based on the advertising you watch, the user should get part of the revenue that Cayova gets for hosting that ad," Daley said.
According to Cayova's terms of use, the company gives a user half of any payments it receives for ads "targeted at you or for access to your content and data," minus sales taxes and transaction costs, such as bank fees. Users then have the option of donating that money to charity, receiving a check or deducting that amount from their mobile phone bill.
Cayova users may also earn an annual bonus by recruiting others to the site.
The vision is for the site to operate like a co-op. It's tough to summarize in an elevator pitch, but it's a similar business model to outdoor apparel retailer REI, where every member gets "an annual dividend," usually equivalent to 10 percent back on eligible purchases they made during the previous year.
If Cayova takes off — and that's a big if — the company will have considerable power. Many members will have blocked all advertising networks. Thus, the easiest and perhaps only way for online advertisers to target Cayova members will be through Cayova itself.

Cultured meat has enormous benefits for everyone - for our health, the environment and animals.
We're excited to be developing cultured meat so people everywhere can enjoy the meat they love, while protecting our precious planet.
Able to feed our growing population
Meat demand is growing fast. By 2050, the world's population will surpass 9 billion, and meat demand is expected to be 70% higher than today's level, according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the UN.
We already use the majority of farmland for livestock rearing. Furthermore, water scarcity is a growing problem to which livestock contributes significantly (a single quarter pounder hamburger takes 5900 litres of water to produce).
It's easy to calculate that we simply don't have enough land and water to increase meat production by 70% using livestock.
This means that we either have to reduce our consumption of meat, or find a more efficient way to produce it.
It is projected that cultured meat production will use up to 99% less land, and 96% less water. This greater efficiency will make it possible to provide the world's growing population with real meat in a sustainable way.
Healthier for you
Cultured meat is the same as conventional meat so it's just as safe and healthy - in fact, more so.
Cultured meat is produced in a completely sterile environment. On the other hand, slaughterhouses are not sterile and bacteria commonly contaminates the meat, causing millions of people to suffer foodborne illnesses every year.
There is also the issue of antibiotics. In order to keep farm animals healthy in feedlots, the animals are treated with antibiotics. This heavy use of antibiotics is causing the emergence of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs". There is research showing a growing number of patients appearing in hospital with bacterial disease that is resistant to all known treatment.
In contrast, because cultured meat is produced in a clean environment, there is no need to use any antibiotics at all.
Cultured meat is also free from artificial growth hormones that are used to make livestock grow faster, and does not involve any genetic modification.
Better for our planet
Animal agriculture produces 15% of greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the UN. This is similar to the entire transportation sector (including all cars and planes) combined. Furthermore, cows emit methane, which is 20-30 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas.
Cultured meat generates up to 96% lower greenhouse gas emissions, helping us avoid the disastrous consequences of climate change.
Beyond climate change, livestock production has a number of other serious effects on the environment.
Raising livestock (and growing crops to feed them) uses large amounts of land, leading to mass deforestation. Large parts of the Amazon rainforest has already been cleared for cattle, for instance.
This in turn leads to drastic loss of biodiversity. Each day we lose upwards of 80,000 acres of tropical rainforest, and with it about 135 plant, animal and insect species. That's 50,000 species going extinct every year.
A further issue is agricultural run-off. Pollution, including pesticides and fertilisers, leaves farms because of rain or irrigation, and runs into rivers and oceans. Once there, run-off can kill marine life and coral reefs, and even cause "dead zones" (low oxygen areas) where marine life suffocates and dies.
On the other hand, cultured meat production does not require chemicals such as pesticides and will take place in a closed system, ensuring run-off does not enter the natural environment.
Kinder to animals
Around 70 billion animals are reared for food each year, the majority in industrial farms where they experience inhumane conditions.
Producing cultured meat does not require the slaughter of any animals. Once cultured meat becomes a mass-market food, there will be no need for industrial farms, to the benefit of many millions of animals.

A public hearing on a liquor license application held during the Johnson County Commissioner's meeting Tuesday drew discussions, concerns, and some anger over the county's recent award of a seperate license to another applicant.
Representatives of local banks, bar and liquor store owners and members of the public did not seem to be in oppostion to the current application by the owners of Winchester's Steak House for a retail liquor license, but were concerned over the issuance of the earlier license.
A license application was approved by the commissioners earlier this year where an existing license was vacated, which created two available licenses in the county. The applicant was then issued a seperate new license.
The commissioners were not aware of any liens against the license that was vacated and said they had no legal reason to deny the approval the applicants' request.
Arguments against the procedure were not directed at the current applicant, as explained by Commission Chair Smokey Wildeman.
The commissioners moved to award the license to Winchester's.

Time heals all wounds. Physically and mentally. If enough time passes you will be able to see the brighter side of life. As a warning, this is not going to be a philosophical post.
Back in March my big toe was banged up pretty bad. The nail bruised and for months I had a black toe. In June the nail was removed and I began the process of growing a new toe.
This weekend was another milestone on my road to recovery. I have removed the final piece of bad nail from my toe. This nail was rougher and a little thicker than usual.
It started to grow in under the dying toe and had the exterior of a warrior.
With it now removed my toe looks normal, and just in time for the foot to go back in the boot.

Lulu's evaluation4.1/5
« With this app, I was able to play with a whole series of educational games (tracing letters, doing puzzles, etc.) I really liked the illustrations and the quantity and diversity of exercises offered. However, I would have liked to be rewarded as I went along. The voice encouraging me throughout the app could have been a bit more lively, and the educational content could have been better reinforced. A word to the wise: the app is in British English. As a whole, I liked this app! »

Hackers Jailed for Zotob Worm Attack
Two Moroccan hackers have been jailed for creating and distributing the Zotob worm that squirmed through Windows 2000 networks in August 2005.
According to reports out of Morocco, Farid Essebar, the 19-year-old hacker who wrote the worm code and used it to hijack computers globally for use in for-profit botnets, was sentenced to two years in prison for his role in the attack.
Achraf Bahloul, a 22-year-old friend of Essebar, will serve one year in jail.
The fate of Atilla Ekici, of Turkey, who was arrested a year ago after investigators determined he had a "financial relationship" with Essebar, is not yet known.
Click here to read about Microsoft's Zotob situation room.
Essebar, who used the online moniker "Diabl0," was charged with creating the Zotob attack code and selling it to Ekici, who used the name "Coder."
According to law enforcement authorities, the online names of both men were found in messages buried in early versions of Zotob and frequently show up in variants of other bot programs, according anti-virus researchers. For example, machines infected by Zotob.A, the original version of the worm, connected to an IRC server called "diabl0.turkcoders.net" and contained the words "Greetz to good friend Coder."
The Zotob worm exploited a critical flaw in the Windows PnP (Plug and Play) service, a common component that allows the operating system to detect new hardware on a Windows system.
The worm severely affected operations at several high-profile U.S. businesses, including CNN, The New York Times, SBC Communications and DaimlerChrysler.

I'm posting a picture clicked in the old city area (popularly called walled city) of Jaipur.
The arch and pillars in this picture reminds me of the old buildings in the walled city especially the ones in Johari Bazar. This is a typical architectural style common across the heritage havelis & buildings in city area of Jaipur.
The black border on the wall (in background) is reminiscent of the great workmanship of the bygone era. The surface finishing technique used in the floor and wall using lime, was unique in this region and is called Araish (plaster technique). It replicates the finish found in the white marble, specially the one originating from the Makrana region in Rajasthan. It's hard to reproduce Araish work now because of lack of skilled workmen and the cost involved. The restoration of heritage buildings with Araiash work is therefore a big challenge.

Now that you have set up The "5 Things" matrix with all the appropriate metrics, how do you know how well your company is doing? It is now time to determine the Purple / Green / Red coding scheme.
The color scheme is meant to show how well the company is doing at a glance. The metrics will have little meaning if there are no parameters to give them context. These parameters are the assumptions and the necessary outcomes that are laid out in the business plan.
Let's take two different companies with a sales force that make face to face appointments. One business plan may call for the sales force to make 600 appointments a year while the second company's business plan calls for 1000 appointments a year. The coding system must be set up to reflect these different needs.
Now it is time to do year over year budgeting. While we recognize the usefulness of financial budgeting, this is not that (though your financial budgeting will play into the matrix). This is business plan budgeting. Look at your metrics and look for ways to increase them every year. When you budget an additional 5000 aggregate sales appointments in a year management is now forced to figure out how to make that happen (ex. new salespeople, additional back-end support, new territories, etc).
This is also a great way to implement a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) (2). This is a ten year goal that creates a target for management to pursue. Budget out for the next ten years what your business plan would have to look like to get there. The "5 Things" will help you achieve your goals.

After losing hope, lost dog finds way back to South Columbus family for Christmas
It was a foggy November morning, and I was a bit groggy as I rolled out of bed. A late night had taken its toll, and the last thing I wanted was to go out into the cold. But as is my daily routine, I had to walk our dog, Country. So I grabbed a jacket and went outside to the yard.
Country, it turns out, was nowhere in sight. I called his name, but got no response. Listened for his jingle, but there was just silence. Then I noticed the hole under the gate, and the board ripped from the fence. Country had escaped, and only God knew where he was.
That was Nov. 2, six months after my family relocated from South Florida to Columbus for my husband to pursue a job opportunity. Country, a Shepherd-Spaniel mix, had joined our family in July, and helped us adapt to our new life on the south side of town.
My daughters had fallen in love with the dog, who greeted them daily with a wagging tail when they returned from school. They had wanted a dog for years, and our move to Columbus presented the perfect opportunity.
Country became the girls' walking companion, frisky friend and a guinea pig for all their gadgets from Petco. They were looking forward to Christmas so they could dress him in a Santa suit and take photos in front of the fireplace. But now he was gone.
Country's disappearance set in motion a desperate six-week search, with the help of several of our new neighbors. It brought strangers together, broke down barriers and exercised our faith, paving the way for the dog's long journey home -- just in time for Christmas.
It also shattered many of the stereotypes I had heard about south Columbus.
The big move
You see, moving to a new town wasn't easy. There were many things to consider. At the top of the list was finding a place to live temporarily while we got the lay of the land. So we turned to the Internet, and after searching for some time, found a nice home in south Columbus. It had everything we wanted -- spacious quarters, an affordable price and a peaceful atmosphere.
But as we looked online for more information about Columbus, we discovered a dividing line between north and south. South Columbus was associated with blight and crime, according to some of the Internet posts, and north Columbus was considered "the good side of town."
Some people suggested we would be crazy to live anywhere south of Macon Road. Others set the dividing line at exit 10 off Interstate 185.
This, of course, is nothing new. I had experienced neighborhood profiling before, having lived and worked as a journalist in New York, Omaha, Neb., and South Florida. Entire neighborhoods written off due to ethnicity and socio-economic conditions, many times unfairly. Here we go again, I thought to myself, another stereotyped black community.
But I've also lived long enough to know there are some elements of truth to most stereotypes. So, I proceeded cautiously as we settled into our new home, always looking for the telltale signs of a declining neighborhood -- things like lawn maintenance, litter and the condition of area businesses.
I noticed bars on the windows of the Twins Food Mart on St. Marys Road, and suspected crime might be an issue. But there were positive signs, too. The store had a steady stream of business, which signaled a vibrant community. Men took the time to say "good morning" and hold the door for female customers. (That doesn't happen everywhere I've lived, trust me. Guess it's that Southern hospitality I've always heard about.)
I also observed families exercising at a nearby park, as well as many neighbors taking pride in their properties. And I concluded that the area along St. Marys Road was like most working-class neighborhoods where people just wanted a decent quality of life. Much like the community where I grew up in Brooklyn.
So we settled in the area, and for several months lived practically drama free.
(OK, so there was one altercation in the neighborhood where someone got hurt. But family disputes can happen anywhere. Right?)
Then Country entered our lives and turned everything upside down.
A desperate search
How did we find Country? He is a dog that had been rescued four years ago by some friends living on a farm in Alabama. He is a shy pooch, who doesn't take well to strangers. But he has an adorable face, and a big heart.
(As the story goes, Country, after discovering food, also brought his friend, Rex, to the farm to partake. The two had been living on the property ever since, along with other dogs our friends rescued.)
We agreed to adopt Country, and took him from the country to his new city life.
For the most part, Country adapted well to his new environment. But he had a penchant for digging and sniffing female dogs in the neighborhood. On at least one other occasion, he tried to run away, but we found him hiding behind the back fence.
When we discovered Country's disappearance on Nov. 2, I immediately created a flier to distribute throughout the neighborhood. Prior to that, we had had little contact with our neighbors. Most stuck to themselves, and seemed preoccupied with their own lives.
But when we started passing out the fliers, the neighborhood came to life. Two women, living on either side of us, said they were touched by Country's story. They volunteered to drive around the neighborhood and look for the dog.
I asked the manager at Twins Food Mart if I could post a flier in the window, and he agreed. The tale of the missing dog caught people's attention. And on Thanksgiving Day I received a call from a woman who said she cried when she read it. She was praying for our family and would look for the dog in her neighborhood.
In addition to distributing fliers, we also checked the animal control website daily, and called local vets and animal rescue organizations. We patrolled nearby streets for several weeks. But Country was nowhere to be found, and we just continued to pray earnestly for his return.
The approaching holiday
As we got closer to Christmas, my daughters decorated the mantel and Christmas tree in our family room. With holiday music permeating the house, and the fireplace adorned with twinkling colors, we tried hard as we could to kindle the Christmas spirit. But something was definitely wrong.
"Looks like he's not coming back," my husband said to me one night. "We'll just have to get the kids another dog."
That was Dec. 5, 20 days before Christmas.
Then the next day, I was sitting at the library working on a research project. My phone began to buzz, and there was a woman on the other line. She identified herself as Shuronica Lakes Davis, and said she had seen the flier at the Twins Food Mart. She believed she knew where Country was located.
"Is it a boy dog?" she asked.
"Yes!" I answered enthusiastically.
"Green collar?" she probed even further.
"Yes. Do you know where he is?"
By now, my heart was pounding inside. But I tried not to get my hopes up too high. Didn't want to be disappointed.
Davis said she had seen a dog that looked like Country in a neighborhood behind Macon Road, where she owned a rental property.
She was on her way back to the food mart to get the flier so she could see if it was the same dog.
As she spoke, I couldn't believe my ears. Could it be possible that Country could return after all these weeks, just in time for Christmas? And what are the chances that a woman with rental property in a totally different neighborhood would see the poster at Twins Food Mart? And why would she even care? It just seemed unbelievable, especially since my husband and I had just made up our minds to replace the dog the night before.
But just as she promised, Davis called me back with her assessment. "Ma'am, I found your dog," she said. "You need to come and get him as soon as you can."
My husband met Davis at the location, and sure enough it was Country. A man had him locked in a cage. When Country saw my husband, he wagged his tail as if nothing had happened, then jumped into our van to go home.
Now, he's back safe and sound with our family. And we have pictures in his Santa suit to prove it.
I asked Davis why she was so willing to help us find Country. She said her family lost a dog once, and tried hard as they could to find it. When they discovered its whereabouts, it was too late. The dog had been hit by a car, taken to the pound and put to sleep. Davis' children were devastated and she didn't want my children to experience the same thing.
Davis said she prayed and fasted the morning before she found Country. She asked God to use her in a special way, and he answered her prayers.
Well, lucky for us, there are people like Davis in south Columbus willing to be used by God and help their neighbors -- shattering stereotypes along the way. Through them, we witnessed a Christmas miracle.
And for that, we'll always be grateful.

Freia David's first name is pronounced FRY-ah, so it's only fitting that she spent 32 years working as a fry cook at a local McDonald's in Needham, Mass.
David, who is now 52 years old, has Down syndrome. She got her job at the restaurant through the Charles River Center, a nonprofit organization that provides employment and other resources for people with developmental disabilities.
When David announced her retirement, the restaurant threw her a party attended by more than 100 people from the community. Gifts included a necklace with a fry carton pendant, a crystal model of the restaurant, and even a proclamation from the state House of Representatives. She and her mother Anneliese were also promised free meals for the rest of their lives.
Anneliese told the Boston Globe she was "speechless" over the kind gesture for her daughter. "I expected a party, but not a party like this," she said.
Timothy McCoy, the location's owner-operator, said of the longtime employee, "Freia's smile, her enthusiasm, and her daily hugs made our restaurant more than just a restaurant. She is loved and respected by all of our employees, customers, and anyone she has come into contact with. We are so sad that she is retiring, but very happy for the time we had to work with her. McDonald's of Needham will never be the same again without Freia David."
David loved her job, always showing up early for her three-hour lunchtime shift and staying around afterward to help clean up. She told WBZ-TV of the party, "It was nice, I'm really happy."
David, who lives in a home supported by the Charles River Center, is evidence of the good that can happen when people with functional needs are encouraged to contribute to their communities.
"People with disabilities can be integrated in the community and learn new skills and learn new interests so that they can give back to the community and contribute," Anne-Marie Bajwa, the center's chief operating officer, told WBZ-TV.
According to the organization's website, more than 80 people supported by Charles River currently hold jobs. McDonald's was one of the first businesses to partner with them.

ROCHESTER — MetroCast's vice president of operations says the company felt the 10 percent discount on basic cable for senior citizens, which ended April 15, "was no longer necessary."
"We just feel that we can provide greater discounts to all of our customers and that's our philosophy rather than to have a limited discount on limited services to just a few customers," Steve Murdough said Monday.
About 2,500 accounts in Maine and New Hampshire had been receiving the discount, which was in effect since at least 2000, he said. The majority of them were in New Hampshire, which makes up for 60,000 of the company's 70,000 customers across the two states.
The discount applied to basic cable, which costs $21.95 a month, and expanded cable, which costs $37. But to have more channels, the actual cost is $58.95 because Federal Communications Commission rules mandate customers with expanded coverage also purchase the limited plan, Murdough said.
Murdough said seniors can still receive discounts close to 15 percent on packages including cable, phone and Internet or as much as 23 percent on packages including two of the three services. And he said customers using FairPoint for telephone services could realize even bigger savings if they rolled their phone service into a MetroCast account covering cable.
He said dropping the discount was not an effort to lure seniors or others from competitors.
Murdough said MetroCast's ability to provide discounts to all of its customers was not impeded by the 10 percent senior citizen discount. "They are two separate things, but our philosophy is to provide discounts to all customers," he said. "It certainly was not a slap in the face to anybody."
That's not how the change was received by Arlene Roth, who wrote Foster's Daily Democrat to say the discount was pulled "with no apologies" at "a time of economic upheaval, with no increase in Social Security benefits either this year or next." The Rochester resident said MetroCast's decision was "an unforgivable and heartless move."
Murdough said in general he gets "offended" by comments depicting MetroCast as a "greedy cable company," and he questioned whether people know the company spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a year supporting charities and community events.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
Introduced by Anne Brichto and Emma Balch
A customer in the shop this week found this beautiful copy of an early Puffin edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory priced by [Addyman's co-owner] Derek for £3.00. It is so clean I would have put more on it. Still I'm pleased it went to a Instagram follower. Follow Anne on Instagram at: www.instagram.com/addymanbooks
For children today, Roald Dahl's books and Quentin Blake's illustrations are inextricably linked. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, probably Dahl's most famous book, was first published in 1964, over thirty years before it was first illustrated by Quentin Blake.
How do illustrations change our reading of children's books? Do they help or hinder the imagination? Would we react differently to the characters if they were illustrated differently – or not at all? Send your thoughts to email@example.com or post a comment below.

I am responsible for helping provide information and advice on archaeology and the wider historic environment to our staff and members, partners and the public.
My work includes maintaining and enhancing the Historic Environment Record. I provide advice for planning applications. I also advise on other land management issues, especially for archaeological sites within agri-environmental schemes.
I regularly work with the local communities and volunteers to provide opportunities for survey and practical conservation projects.
I graduated from the University of Sheffield with a degree in Archaeological Science. As part of my degree I took part in a year's placement cultural heritage team at the Peak District National Park. This helped me to develop the necessary skills in order begin a career within the heritage sector.
The Lake District National Park has a wealth of archaeological remains which are significant at a regional and a national level. Part of my job is making sure that these important monuments continue to be preserved and managed for future generations.
Getting out and about and delivering conservation and survey projects. I really enjoyed supervising volunteers as part of the 'Reflections on History' project, during a programme of woodland survey. This focused on the archaeology of woodland on the west side of Windermere. The project recorded the remains of forgotten industries such as charcoal burning, bark peeling and potash burning.
Getting to grips with all the strategy and policy documents!
A degree within archaeology or closely related subject and a good understanding of British archaeology is essential for any career within the archaeological profession. Get as much relevant practical experience as you can - our Archaeology Volunteers project is a good place to start.

The Air Jordan 5 Retro: a signature hoops style reborn
Modelled after a classic shoe that first appeared in 1990 on the heels of MJ's fourth scoring title, the Air Jordan 5 Retro (1.5-9.5) Baby & Toddler Kids' Shoe brings back all the style and on-court comfort of the original.
Since his game-winning shot that brought the National Championship to North Carolina, Michael Jordan has been at the forefront of basketball consciousness. He took the court in 1985 wearing the original Air Jordan I, setting a new standard for performance and style, simultaneously breaking league rules and his opponents' will while capturing the imagination of fans worldwide. Ever evolving, ever at the pinnacle of imagination, the Air Jordan line is the ultimate in basketball footwear.

The Facebook Home Experience
I don't know if Facebook will reach its target audience with Facebook Home. Although Chat Heads are great, the Home experience itself simplifies app management to a fault. I fully recognize that most people don't give their homescreens much thought and don't invest much time in customization, so it's entirely possible that I'm off the mark and there's enough functionality here for casual smartphone users — but I don't think I am.
That said, I find it very telling that even this infrequent Facebook user found himself interacting with status updates instead of doing other stuff on my phone — Home radically increased my Facebook usage. If Facebook makes good on its promise to release monthly updates and these updates can significantly increase the basic utility of the homescreen, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a lot of people start using it.
Although I've been stating this repeatedly for quite some time, it bears relevance to reiterate once more:
Facebook has reached a point at which the steady stream of incoming users will inevitably peak. With over one billion active users and a sizable volume of shareholders to satisfy, Mr. Zuckerberg and his team can no longer focus upon merely increasing user numbers to marry with ad impressions.
Instead, Facebook must instead focus upon keeping existing users entertained and engaged within the bounds of their services. The more time spent within the Facebook ecosystem correlates to more ad impressions and, therefore, increased revenue.
Thus, with the introduction of Facebook Home, the social networking giant has made an extremely interesting maneuver, indeed. Rather than relying solely upon app distribution, Facebook has sought to establish a foothold at the core of the mobile experience. Importantly, Facebook has achieved this goal without re-inventing the wheel, but by supplanting a trojan horse onto the vast majority of the most popular Android devices available today.
Dieter Bohn's review targets this distribution mechanism and developmental simplicity as a potential flaw for Facebook Home. I tend to think it's quite the contrary.
One of the most trite and oft-spoken criticisms of Android is that it's excessively complex for the average user. Much of this thinking stems from the early versions of Android, which were irresponsive and difficult to use.
Whether or not this assessment remains accurate (it doesn't), the stereotyping of Android's complexity versus iOS' ease of use is unquestionably troublesome for the platform. Google is working tirelessly to address this with each update to Android 4.x, but it suffers from an ongoing brand identity problem.
Facebook, on the other hand, suffers from no such concerns.
With Facebook Home, Facebook is able to swoop into the Android ecosystem, pave over the perceived complexities of the O.S., and supplant its functionality with a delightfully social front-end. And, as it is, indeed, a front-end, Facebook Home does not preclude the utility of the Android beneath.
Facebook Home is a skin-deep "launcher" that users will perceive as a fully-fledged operating system. And, unlike its competitors, it'll be available to install or uninstall on a whim. The sheer value of this inevitable misconception and the associative level of accessibility cannot be understated.
It's precisely the simplicity and lack of robust features that will make Facebook Home an enticing option for average users. In a simplistic manner, Facebook Home will leverage the voyeuristic draw of its ecosystem, whilst also expanding upon the utility of its apps and messaging platforms. The result is a good-looking, easy-to-use, and fundamentally fun front-end for a mobile phone.
Unlike Android, iOS, or Windows Phone, Facebook Home is not a prescription. You do not buy into its ecosystem and lock yourself in. Instead, you merely enhance the sociability and simplicity of a device — without any obligations to continue down this route — freely and easily.
Perhaps Facebook Home will prove to be a boring flop as some are predicting. That's certainly not outside the bounds of possibility. Having said that, I tend to think Facebook Home is one of the most compelling mobile experiments on the market today and, most of all, it's available to experiment with for anyone with a compatible Android device. It's an exciting precedent and I cannot help but think Facebook is blazing a path toward a new paradigm in smartphone branding and distribution.
For all of this, I simply wish to impart that Facebook Home should not be decried and judged for its simplicity, but it should be assessed for its obvious potential for upending a portion of the social marketplace. They're not casting a wide net to appeal to us all, they're providing a compelling, interesting, and innovative avenue for a select few. And with the seed planted, I cannot help but think the possibility for growth will be enormous.

Also known as sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis), Florida orange trees are compact and symmetrical and besides bearing fruit, make good ornamental trees. There is a wide range of varieties, and the most well-known is the Valencia, which is a popular juicing orange. The orange blossom, which is small, fragrant and white, is the Florida state flower. Florida orange trees have glossy, leathery oblong leaves and the flowers give way to fruit, which may be stored on the tree for several months. Trees grow to about 25 feet, need full sun and moderate watering. Sweet oranges need high heat to form sugars, making Florida a natural spot for these trees. These trees are hardy in USDA Plant Hardiness Map Zones 9 to 11.
Recognized as the best juicing orange, the Valencia variety bears fruit as early as March in the warmest areas and into July in cooler areas, according to Floridata.com. The fruit is about the size of a baseball, is nearly seedless and has a thin skin. Grown primarily in Florida and parts of inland California, the Valencia is available in several cultivars, including Delta and Midknight, which ripen earlier in the season, and Rhode Red, which has deeper colored flesh.
The original navel orange, Washington oranges have thick skins, are easy to peel and have moderately juicy flesh. These eating oranges may be grown in Florida and Texas and ripen early. Washington oranges are usually seedless. Another popular navel is Cara Cara, which has a rosier flesh and may also be grown in California.
This cultivar ripens later than Valencias and most navel oranges and is the top mid-season orange in Florida, according to the 1997 Sunset National Garden Book. Pineapple oranges have light-colored flesh and fairly thin skin, but are seedy. Good juicing oranges, pineapple oranges may fall from the tree after ripening.

It may be the world's most asked question: "What color is that?" I take it as a compliment. People all over the world see photos of the work we have done and ask the same question. It is wonderful that the general population "likes" the colors used on our properties. Yet, do they see what I see? Let's ponder that thought for a bit.
When someone asks that question, it is most often after viewing a photo. Colors when viewed in photographs can appear quite differently than they appear in real life. If you like what you see, it may be best to try to emulate that color in reality rather than just following a color code from say, Sherwin Williams. Not only what one sees may be different than what another sees ( i see warm gray but you see tan) but does that color appear ONLINE like what it does in REALITY?
When one is looking for inspiration that is all it really is. It is "inspiration" and not "the final word". I love sharing and I feel when others share with me, I learn. So, I share and others can learn also. But, my color may not be your color. It may be close to what you want or even see, but maybe not the actual color you need. What many forget to address is the fact that the space, the furnishings and of course the natural and artificial light in a room affect the color greatly. What may appear purple with one kind of lighting may appear brown with another. We are also in a transition of light bulb styles but that is well, for another time.
How to select the right color for YOU.
1. Check online and other sources for your inspiration. Is it a light color you are looking for? Gray? Blue? Something new? Whatever it be, just start somewhere. It's sorta like that commercial for saving for your future or the one for buying your next car… you have to START.
2. Then, take that inspiration and find other places to see it IN PERSON. In person helps you understand how it works in larger spaces, smaller spaces and in different lighting situations. While you like a dark color, will it be right for your small bath? (I often think yes!)
3. Go to a store and get color swatches and maybe even inspiration books. Seeing a color on a swatch is quite different than online.
4. Take swatches to where the color will be… but don't over think it! If you think you can see the entire color in the entire space exactly how you see the color on the chip you are a crazy person in need of an evaluation. BUT… you can surely start to see how the color will react with the surroundings.
5. Get an entire wall painted. YES! An entire wall!!!! That of course is if you have that opportunity.
6. TRUST YOUR DESIGNER. If you actually budget in the designer fee and pay someone to help, well, you must must trust them and not keep second guessing. It is like short hand key strokes on a keyboard or texting without looking… the more you do it the better you become. It is the same for a designer.. the more they do the better they become. Things just become second nature. And… the designer can make that quick decision so you can get to painting and then onto enjoying the final space.
Behr has an interesting page talking about colors for 2015. For fun… check it out below. But for goodness sake don't take the colors for what you see… get a swatch. or….

There are many online bible college programs offered by different schools that one can pursue from the comfort of their home.
Are you interested in taking the online Bible courses in order to serve the masses. There are plenty more colleges that offer programs with some religious focus although people need to understand the importance of choosing accredited bible colleges.
In the life of today, a lot is happening in the religious circles such that there is an increased demand in taking the online Bible courses in order to serve the masses satisfactorily. This demand is all about how to ensure that people are imparted with knowledge on the biblical teachings which later enforces religious values and principles that are paramount in everyday life. Therefore, apart from the fact the fact that there is a demand in the need to teach bible teaching and Christianity, there is also a huge competition in the colleges that offer competitive courses in online Bible.
Students who want to embrace online studies within a Christian backed environment may want to consider choosing the best online bible schools. Online bible colleges offer students the opportunity to remain committed to their disciplined Christian lives by providing them with the environment to learn by observing their faith. The convenience of studying online should also not be limited by the number of academic options that students can go for. This being the case, students need to identify schools that offer high quality education while still helping them build on their Christian principles. Some notable examples include:
Liberty University
This is a college defined for its Baptists roots and its immense evangelical study community. It has been in operation since 1971 and its foundation enforces its principles to train champions for Christ. Its accreditation comes from the value of its degree programs and the variety of subjects that it offers ranging from aviation to computer degrees. This is where you can validate the time spent on the online classes and successfully rate the amount of money paid for tuition amid the levels which employers demand for the graduates. Ultimately, you will not wish to undertake your bible courses anywhere else but at Liberty University.
Liberty University has some of the largest choices of Biblical degree courses. Students need to request detailed information about each course to determine that they enroll in the course that best meets their need. The following courses are offered at the bachelor's level for those who are taking their courses online. More courses could be available for the brick and mortar students.

The following choices are available to those who wish to pursue masters level programs.

Grand Canyon University
This is a very widely known school and is especially regarded for its proficiency in Bible studies hence stands out as a great choice among respectable colleges. The school was founded in mid 1990's and had the orientation of being a non-profit missionary school (Southern Baptist University) although it changed to a for-profit institution later. It is a Christian College that provides interdenominational opportunities for study of different programs on the areas of interest. There are various subjects offered by the school and these are not restricted to faith, they include; business, nursing and education among other respectable Christian studies. Therefore you can find this institution good to pursue any other course of your choice apart from only the bible related courses.
Grand Canyon University offers various courses in Christian Ministry at both the bachelors and Masters levels. At the Masters level, the school has the following courses in its online programs
-Christian Studies with an Emphasis in Christian Leadership

At the Bachelors level, you can pursue the following degree programs
-Christian Studies

Saint Leo University
This is a good example of a dignified institution for students to enjoy learning at their own convenience and advance their careers according to their preference. It is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and sustainable programs that help students to be competitive in securing job positions. The courses in the school are suitable for the fact that they are interactive and technologically oriented so that students enjoy a vibrant curriculum. This gives a student an upper hand in the job industry as much as it is highly regarded by the potential employers and religious institutions.
At Sait Leo, you can pursue a Bachelors degree in Religion. The degree program introduces students to the fundamentals of the Christian faith. Some of the courses taught at this level are; Christian faith, Christian morality, Christian social justice, History of philosophy, The Old and New Testament, Religions of the world, History of Christianity. Graduates of the course are well equipped both in the understanding of the Christian Faith and leadership skills.
At the Masters level, students can pursue a Master of Arts degree in Theology. Graduates of masters in theology will have a solid knowledge to the major areas of academic theology based on the Roman Catholic foundation and within the ecumenical setting.
Central Christian College
This is a foundation of the 19th century and offers program that cover a four year duration with an affiliation to Methodist Church. The school is well catered for in terms of program suitability since it offers various online subjects of study away from religion such as business and entrepreneurship.
There are plenty more colleges that offer programs with some religious focus although people need to understand the importance of choosing accredited bible colleges. Faith is not something that anyone would want to take in partiality and that is why students need to identify with specific options that match their religious background. It is also important that students identify with what they are intending to do whether it is ministry or church administration. This way they can choose courses that are inclined to the specific careers they want to focus on once they are finished with their associates and bachelor's programs. The good thing about focusing on religion is the fact that students can enjoy limitless application of the morals acquired into different career fields.

Let's Help Some People (FREE SESSION raffle)/
So, if you've been....awake, or swiped left to Apple News, you've probably noticed that from Barbuda being wiped out and Houston flooding, to the current pummeling Florida is receiving, our Southern friends aren't faring so well.
If you've read my blog, you know that my high school idol's husband is a widower now, with a LOT of medical bills left from Kelly's cancer treatment. For some perspective, they were together for 21 years and he's only 39. He spent more time with her than without her in his life and I would like to help ease this current part of his journey.
A lot of people need our help, but I'm just one person. I was hoping you'd want to go in on this with me.
Here's the deal. For every $10 you donate to the Mexico earthquake, or Harvey, Irma, Jose and Kelly Relief (because of course her letter was the next up...), I'll enter your name in a hat for a free session with me. Please do NOT send me money directly. All of those links are for large, legit charities, or you can choose your own favorite to donate too.
If you're on the SF Peninsula or near Lodi, the winner will receive a 5 hour, in person session. If you're anywhere else, it will be for 4 mentoring calls, one per week for a month. While I charge around $400 for each of those experiences, I'd like to think they could be priceless when it comes to shifting the course of your life.
If this is something you're interested in, please email me with a screenshot or just a "hey, I donated $10/$20/$whatever to (insert disaster here) relief". I trust you.
The last day to submit your donation emails to me is Thursday, Sept. 14th. Thank you for your support!!
PS It's been a tough, but good summer. How was your's?

Wow, how I hunger for Him . . . sometimes I need to curl up in His arms. How awesome is it to know He is waiting for us? No matter how much I mess up. No matter how often I fail. Happy, sad, lonely, scared, joyful, angry . . . doesn't matter. He's holding me close and I am safe even if I don't realize it. He whispers His love and it's like no other . . .
"[Psalm 63] A psalm of David, regarding a time when David was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water." Psalm 63:1 NLT

Why choose me as your postnatal doula?
I'm Janine Ebling, mum to our two secondary school age children, with 6 years previous experience working as a midwife locally in Guildford, Surrey and working as a postnatal doula since 2014. I love helping people and take a lot of satisfaction in making a positive difference to the experiences of a new family!
I am reliable, punctual, conscientious and quiet natured, and so will offer a gentle but supportive presence in your home without being overbearing. I will walk through those early days with you, holding your hand, supporting and enabling you to become the best mother you can be, getting your family off to a great start! I won't impose any ideas or routines on you and your baby but will instead support you as you find your own way, and can make suggestions if you wish.
Being a postnatal doula fulfils my passion for supporting new mothers and babies, and draws on my many and varied experiences as a midwife and mother. I am therefore able to offer informed and sensitive care to your family in a unique manner. My midwifery training and my many years of doula experience mean I am able to spot if anything is not quite right, I know where to find the right help if needed and can reassure you when things are quite normal.
I love to carry babies in slings if you are happy for me to do this. I'm very happy to help you to find a comfortable one for yourself too if you like. I also love to cook, so please give me plenty of opportunity to do this, and I'll make you tasty meals plus extra for your freezer!
My ideal day at work is to carry a sleepy baby in a sling, whilst preparing a nutritious dinner and doing a few jobs in the house. Mummy takes a long rest upstairs, and comes down feeling refreshed, welcomed by the smell of good food, a content baby, and the laundry underway!
TESTIMONIAL SNIPPETS from various different families-
(full versions can be read on the testimonials tab)
"Janine just rolls up her sleeves and gets on with it from the minute she walks in the door...she has completely surpassed all our expectations and wishes"
"her reassurance and advice was invaluable in the early days"
"she encouraged me, helped me with practical tasks and showed me how to be a mum and enjoy it"
"You could always tell the days she had been- I'd eaten proper meals during the day, I'd had a nap, the washing was done and neatly folded, the kitchen tidy. It meant that I was calm and rested"
"she had a very calming effect on me"
"having Janine support my wife and look after our twin boys has taken away any worry I had of leaving my wife to manage on her own"
"she has a real intuitive approach"
"I would highly recommend Janine to other families without hesitation and miss her here already!"

In last week's discussion I pointed out that the British Parliament is ruled by a collection of differently scaled documents rather than one central constitution. This is largely made possible because of long standing British tradition. When dealing with a constitution we realize that the written words are far less important than the practiced traditions. It is the same in the case of law.
What is stopping me from bashing someone over the head, with our friend, the overly used shovel? Is it the fact that a word was written down by someone in a position of power? Or is it fear of the judicial system coming down upon me? Many people commit crime because they believe they can get away with it. I believe there are many things I could do without the law noticing, yet, I do not do them. Why is this? We could say that MB does not exceed MC, but there is something else stopping me. Perhaps if that equation included Utils. But why do I lose utility if I break a certain law beyond the eyes of the state? The typical answer will be the societal morals that have been ingrained in me.
Immanuel Kant believes "The constitution of a state is eventually based on the morals of its citizens, which, in its turns, is based on the goodness of this [social moral] constitution."
This moral constitution, or idea of peace, that can guide a society sounds good until you look at some of the costs. For thousands of years women have had a lesser place than men in society. Think for a moment of 'Dr.' Laura, a conservative radio personality. She will be one of the first to separate men from women and tell women how they must act for men. She holds these beliefs not from any critical academic thought but from tradition and upbringing.
Societies laws can envelop people into lesser standing through their inability or unwillingness to fight. In many cases, tradition's stability and test of time can be touted as the argument against change.
It is a very personal belief that if someone is given a right then all, who would be able to use it practically, should be able to. Discrimination that stems from societies morals is the cause of much hidden grief. Though I believe that a right should be offered to all groups rather than just those in power, I must remind you that what is and isn't a right can certainly be debated.
Even a moral law can be an impure one.
We should not blindly follow the past but instead think for ourselves and find what we believe to be inherently true. That is law because it is axiomatic.

I think that this is indeed a great point. We even took the time to discuss how each person's morals do differ from others. Morals do change through out time. I think things get kind of complicated when we take a look at how morals have changed in a normative way saying that the at this current place in time that the moral structure is better or worse. Since laws are in many ways a reflection of morality they do age and become no longer useful in some cases, but the fact we have this "moral compass" gives us something to follow in an ever changing world a base line structure to guide are individual actions.ReplyDelete
