Chicken Pot, Chicken Pot, Chicken Pot Pie!
Posted by Victoria at 11:23 AM 9 comments
Yesterday, I set out to make the best chicken pot pie I'd ever made. I succeeded. Both my sister and brother-in-law said it was the best chicken pot pie they'd ever had. Score! The secret ingredient is the thyme! It makes such a difference, trust me. In the past I had used puff pastry for the crust (too soggy), various proportions of roux to broth (too thin), and various other fillings (including diced red potatoes, which next time I may try again). In my focused state to prepare these yummy little pies, I completely neglected to add the frozen peas I had planned on using. They were not even missed! The filling was so delicious that I can easy suggest the peas as an optional add-in next time, but not a necessity by any means. The crust takes no time to make and is totally worth it instead of using pre-packaged puff pastry which may look pretty, but gets soggy the second you dig into your pie. You can easily use leftover roasted chicken for the filling, but I found my way to be fast and easy, and the chicken was still very moist when I mixed it all together. I look forward to making turkey pot pies with the same recipe, but using post-Thanksgiving leftover turkey meat and broth. I'm sure it will be just as good!
Chicken Pot Pie
Serves 4
1 onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 carrots, thinly sliced
10 T. butter (1 stick, plus 2 T.)
1/2 cup flour, plus more for rolling out the dough
4 cups chicken broth or stock, hot
3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into strips (about 1 1/2 lbs)
A splash of heavy cream or half and half
1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten with 1 T. water
Flaky Pie Crust Dough (not rolled out or baked)
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the sliced carrots until almost tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. In the same pot of water, add the chicken strips and simmer until cooked through. Remove and let cool slightly. Chop or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Set aside with the blanched carrots.
In another pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and celery and cook until softened, but not browned. Add the flour to the vegetables and stir until nice and smooth. Cook for a few minutes longer so the flour starts to cook, but doesn't brown. Slowly add the hot chicken broth, mixing constantly as to not create lumps in the sauce. Once the chicken broth is incorporated, add the splash of cream and season the mixture with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Cook the sauce for a few minutes and then add the chicken and carrots and continue to simmer for about 10 more minutes. Fill 4 oven-proof soup bowls equally with the chicken pot pie filling.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the pie dough disk from the refrigerator and cut it into 4 equal pieces. Using a rolling pin and a floured cutting board, roll each piece into a circle slightly larger than the circumference of the bowls. Firmly press each dough circle over the bowls, and cut a small slit in the center. Brush the dough with egg wash and then crack some fresh pepper over the top of each. Put the bowls on a cookie sheet and then into the oven. Bake for 40 minutes or until the crusts are nice and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving, as the filling will be extremely hot.
*Update* Although I love this chicken pot pie recipe, my updated version for Chicken Pot Pies Primavera is my current favorite! Please check it out if you are looking for a great pot pie recipe :-D Thanks!

Pasta Bianca
Posted by Victoria at 11:49 AM 13 comments
Macaroni and cheese. It's one of America's greatest contributions to the culinary world. This version from is a bit more upscale and Italian in nature. Who cares! It's macaroni and cheese and it's delicious. Give this a whirl next time you want to impress your guests and serve mac and cheese that's fit for a Queen.
Baked Pasta "Bianca" with Cream and Five Cheeses
Serves 4 to 6
(Recipe from On Top of Spaghetti)
(Recipe from On Top of Spaghetti)
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 to 1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup finely crumbled Gorgonzola
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
2 T. mascarpone
1/2 cup chopped or shredded mozzarella
1/2 tsp. or more kosher salt
1 lb dried pasta (shells, penne, cavatappi, or your favorite)
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Bring a large bowl of water to a boil.
Combine the cream, 1/2 cup chicken stock, all the cheeses, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Set aside.
Generously salt boiling water and add pasta. Cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes. The pasta will be parboiled and too hard to eat; it cooks further in the oven. Drain the pasta and add to the mixing bowl, combining thoroughly with the cheese mixture. If it seems too thick, add more chicken stock until the pasta moves freely and is surrounded by liquid.
Transfer to individual shallow baking dishes or 1 large shallow baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is bubbly hot. Serve right away.

Lee Enterprises Buys Howard Publications
By: Mark Fitzgerald
"This is exactly the acquisition we've been seeking," an exultant Lee Enterprises CEO Mary Junck said in a conference call this morning, announcing that Lee is buying Howard Publications, the technology-savvy chain of 16 dailies, in a transaction valued at $694 million. "Although we had been actively seeking acquisition possibilities, we actually didn't expect to find something this good — and at a good price."
Two years ago, Davenport, Iowa-based Lee jettisoned its television group and declared it would devote itself to acquiring dailies with circulations of 30,000 to 125,000 located in mid-sized markets. What followed was a frustrating stretch for Lee and the analysts who watch the company.
Junck suggested the Howard buy — which will increase Lee's combined circulation to 1.1 million and boost its annual revenues by 47% to $647 million — was a once-in-a-lifetime corporate opportunity.
Lee is paying $749 million in cash for 100% of Howard Publications stock. Because the deal includes $50 million in cash on the Howard balance sheet and because of other adjustments, the effective purchase price is $694 million. That is about 14.1 times EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) based on Howard's results for fiscal 2001, or 12.3 times EBITDA based on the 12 months ended April 2000, Howard's most recent full year before the newspaper recession.
Lee will pay $440 million with cash on hand and borrow the rest from banks at a rate Chief Financial Officer Carl Schmidt estimated would be "slightly north of 3%."
Lee said the deal, which is slated to close in the next 90 days, will be accretive to earnings by about 15 cents in its next full fiscal year starting in October 2002. Junck said after the deal is completed, Lee will still have room on its balance sheet to do more deals, as well as pay back debt and buy back shares.
Lee plans to trim costs, increase the revenue growth, and improve profit margins at the Howard publications, Junck said. Howard's EBITDA margin is in the 25% range while Lee's is in the 30% range, for example, she said.
Howard, which recently moved its headquarters to Longview, Wash., publishes the 89,000-circulation North County Times in Oceanside and Escondido, Calif., as well as the largest newspaper in Wyoming, the Star-Tribune in Casper. But it is probably best known for the 88,101-circulation Times in Munster, Ind., which William E. Howard, president of the newspaper division, transformed into a model of newspaper technology. The paper, which continues to win awards for its journalism, has expanded into nine regional zones and absorbed the old Vidette-Messenger in Valparaiso.

Anyone who knows me or who has read this blog regularly will know my stance on unpaid internships. It seems some recent lawsuits in the USA might mean that employees are coming over to my side of thinking – it isn't really excusable.
I started this blog when I was an intern (unpaid), as the URL implies, and became increasingly annoyed by the setup as time went by. I have done more than two years of interning/full-time volunteering. I appreciate you need to pay your dues and put in your time but it feels like minimum wage laws are put in place for a reason: I have only been able to rack up that unpaid experience because I come from a middle class family in London. Privilege, as well as a determination to get experience, dictates that I am now probably better placed than many of my peers to move into the job market having finished our undergraduate degrees. Clearly, that isn't right.
So well done to those people involved in taking Fox to court over the internships offered on the movie Black Swan. Here's a summary of what happened (via @Hanna_Schwing):
Just a month after one judge dismissed the class-action suit filed by free New York City media interns at Hearst Magazines, another has now granted the Hollywood coffee-fetchers who worked on Black Swan a precedent-setting win, ruling that the two production interns "worked as paid employees" and that Fox Searchlight should have to pay them as such. It's a pivotal decision, says the attorney for the two young men who worked on the Oscar-winning film: "This is the first time a judge has held that interns as we know them today are employees entitled to wages and protections," the lawyer, Juno Turner, told The Atlantic Wire in a phone interview Wednesday.
Indeed, it's the first time a major U.S. court has ruled that zero dollars for legitimate work does not a legal unpaid internship make. "Considering the totality of the circumstances," reads the ruling from federal judge William Pauley, the plaintiffs, Eric Glatt and Alexander Footman, "were classified improperly as unpaid interns and are 'employees' covered by" the the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as well as New York's labor laws. The judge added: "They worked as paid employees work, providing an immediate advantage to their employer and performing low-level tasks not requiring specialized training."

I realise Hollywood has a higher profile and it looks better for any lawyers involved but am I the only one who's a bit disappointed that the global development industry didn't take the lead on this issue? For a sector that fights inequality and strives for fair and ethical treatment of all people, it's a bit embarrassing that the impetus to, you know, pay their interns has to come from the outside.

Candidate experience needs to be the number one priority for recruiters looking to transform their recruitment approaches and hire the best candidates, according to a Metropolitan Police HR provider.
Morag Gardner, Director of Operational HR and Payroll at Shared Services Connected Ltd delivering services to the Metropolitan Police, was speaking at a session organised by e-recruitment pioneers WCN at the In House Recruitment Expo in London.
"Getting to the end of application forms to join the police form can feel really tough to candidates because they felt long and asked for a lot of information. We could see that more needed to be done to keep candidates enthused and so made candidate experience a core focus of our work helping to modernise and transform the Met's recruitment processes," she explained.
Gardner explained how the Met Police have focused on simplifying the approaches used by the Met in online application forms to be simplified and standardised into one user friendly candidate interface. The force – which covers an area of 620 square miles and a population of 7.2 million – now uses technology to streamline end-to-end recruitment focused on great candidate & line manager experiences.
"From the linguistics that we use to ask questions to the layout of the pages we ask candidates to fill in. Our approach to online is all about moving away from the old application packs and having a clean, simple, modern and transparent system that offers candidates great engagement throughout their application journey and provides hiring managers with the key information they need. This attention to candidate experience should be a recruiter's number one priority," Gardner remarked.
The transformation of Met Police recruiting seems to have paid dividends with 100% of candidates rating their experience as good to excellent and a number of people sharing the application pages using social media to encourage others to apply.
Hiring managers also realise the benefits reporting a reduced time taken to create vacancies, lower costs for time investment in recruiting and more interest in dedicated events to help build talent pools and ensure great candidate experiences.
"With WCN's help, we can engage candidates more actively using the online portal, make use of dynamic dashboards and real-time reporting to truly measure our success, focus more on diversity to ensure the service is representative of the many cultures that make up London and to some degree accelerate the time to hire for our forces," Gardner added.
Management intelligence was one area that Gardner singled out as an area of continued exploration to help further strengthen candidate experience scores.
WCN CEO Charles Hipps gave a short presentation to explore the potential of big data in helping recruiters like the Met to do this explaining that knowing what worked well in the past can help to fine-tune the types of candidates that carry high favour within a firm. He said the benefits to recruitment include:
- Saving recruiters time
- Getting to the top candidates first
- Finding a needle in a haystack
- Reducing bias and increasing diversity.

Spending time with your family during important occasions is one of the most joyous moments in any person's life. The reason is that during such periods, you get to show your family that you care. It is a different matter if you are a convict. You don't get to be with your family during such occasions. It was the main reason why Securus Technologies introduced video visitation during the festive season. Everyone wants to enjoy Xmas, so it's only fair to include our brothers and sisters in jail in the celebration. The video call makes all the difference. It is hundred times better than not physically showing up.
The new system allows the incarcerated to have a feel of X-mass with their family. Before this amazing technology, people had to make long trips to visit their relative or friend in prison for Xmas. The routine was tedious considering the amount of time one had to use waiting for the inmate. This was made worse by the fact that one was allowed just a few minutes of conversation with their loved ones. These kinds of communications have the advantage of keeping both sides happy and keeping alive relationships between the inmates and their loved ones.
Securus Technologies is a company whose sole purpose is to link the incarcerated with their loved ones through various communication methods. It is the leading provider of communication services to inmates. Securus helps family and friends communicate with inmates through video visitation or different calling options. These are available to all users of personal computers, tablets or smartphones (Android or Apple). The company is based in Dallas, Texas. Currently, it serves over a million incarcerated persons in North America. The company offers its services to more than 2,200 correctional centers in Canada and the United States.
On March 14, 2016, Securus Technologies received BBB Accreditation. It means that the company can be trusted by its customers. One of the services they offer, video visitation, enables loved ones to plan the date of visiting the incarcerated. There is also the option of visiting them from anywhere you like by the use of your PCs, smartphones or tablets. The company's website connects you with the customer care team where you can shoot any questions or engaged in a live chat.

Two months ago, I moved into a new condo. It's in an entirely new area of Toronto and moving here meant that it was time for a fresh start and a fresher home decor look. For 2 years, my home was filled with furniture I didn't need, didn't like, and didn't want. Some of it was impulse buys from IKEA, some were furniture I had when I lived in Ottawa. None of it went together and my home didn't feel like an overly comfortable space (at least not to me).
As soon as I was settled in my new condo, I went straight to Wayfair. If you haven't used them before, I can't recommend them enough – both for their selection of products and incomparable prices. I'm sure many Canadians can attest to how difficult it is buying nice furniture and home decor pieces online when so much of it comes from the US. What Wayfair really sold me on was the fact that shipping was free and that they cover the customs and duty fees. I wouldn't and didn't have to pay for anything except the product. Sold!
When I thought about what I wanted from the pieces I'd ultimately purchase, I knew I was ready to take on an entirely different home decor style from what I'd grown used to. I wanted contemporary pieces with colour. I did not want pieces that matched and I wanted different textures. What I ended up with were four pieces from Wayfair that I could not be happier with. Each one has a tremendous amount of character and I was able to get that without busting my wallet wide open and letting all of my money bleed out. There's nothing better.
These are my favourite Wayfair home decor picks for a fresh new look:
Aliyah Pink Area Rug
I've had my eye on this Aliyah Pink Area Rug for years. The colours, design, and detail in it are beyond anything I eve thought I'd want, but it's so bold and beautiful that I knew I needed it the second I saw it. it comes in a variety of sizes so it can fit basically any space. The 5'3″x7'7″ was perfect for my living room.
Arianna Coffee Table
You're probably aware of my penchant for white marble. It's my go-to aeshetic for pretty much everything. Too bad for me, real marble costs way more than I'm willing to pay. Thankfully, Wayfair has a great alternative with their Arianna Coffee Table. From a distance and up-close, it looks like the real deal, but it's actually made from manufactured wood. It's less expensive and lighter in weight but is generous enough in size that you don't have to worry about it being too small.
Ardoch Etagere Bookcase
One of my biggest design go-tos of the moment is anything that combines minimalist-contemporary with a touch of rustic. That's exactly what I got when I got this Ardoch Etagere Bookcase. The wooden shelves add the perfect amount of texture, while the metal frame gives it a firm and linear feel. Plus, it's sturdy enough for all of my books and very easy to put together.
Wayfair 39″ TV Stand
At my old condo, I kept my only TV in my bedroom, atop my dresser (for easy Netflix watching before bed). When I moved, I knew I wanted to keep the TV in the main living area so that I was able to enjoy the entire condo space as much as possible. I did not want a giant, obnoxious TV unit, but I also didn't want something that was so undeniably not meant for a TV that it stuck out like a sore thumb. This Wayfair TV Stand is wide enough for my television and accessories, but not so wide that it takes up more space than it needs to. And the two under-area storage spaces are perfect for books, DVDs, and more.

Raman studies on Ca4Al2O5.7Fe2As2 superconductor in the temperature range of 5K to 300 K, covering the superconducting transition temperature T-c = 28.3 K, reveal that the Raman mode at similar to 230 cm(-1) shows a sharp jump in frequency by similar to 2% and linewidth increases by similar to 175% at T-o similar to 60 K. Below T-o, anomalous softening of the mode frequency and a large decrease by similar to 10 cm(-1) in the linewidth are observed. These precursor effects at T-0 (similar to 2T(c)) are attributed to significant superconducting fluctuations, possibly enhanced due to reduced dimensionality arising from weak coupling between the well separated (similar to 15 angstrom) Fe-As layers in the unit cell. A large blue-shift of the mode frequency between 300 K and 60 K (similar to 7%) indicates strong spin-phonon coupling in this superconductor.

When I started this frock-wearing malarkey in a bid to raise money for ovarian cancer research (see side panel) I promised a blog post or two on how I was going with it all. It's been 13 days now, and although I probably had enough material for a post before now, something rammed this all home to me yesterday and so it's kicked me into action. Plus I am sitting at home on a Saturday night by myself and not dancing somewhere so I may as bloody well! Anyway...
I know people are wondering whether this has all been as terrible as I anticipated it would be and whinged about in the weeks leading up to it all. I can say, without a moment's hesitation that indeed it has. And at times it hasn't. But mostly it has. You see, for other people putting on a frock is not a big deal. Hell, it's not even a deal. It's just a thing. I though have found it everything from uncomfortable to painful to confronting (both positive and negative in that respect) and whilst part of this is probably down to my "childhood traumas" or the fact that I do possibly, maybe, potentially, over-analyse stuff perhaps a just little (...?) some of it is clearly not.
Firstly, the mechanics of dress-wearing. I have gotten incredibly used to sitting however the sod is most comfortable over the years. This includes lotus positions on office chairs, feet propped up on boxes under my desk, seat back reclined as far as I like; the works really. Now, ignoring what is clearly my blatant disregard for OHS legislation despite my career choices, the key factor here has been comfort. I move freely into positions that I find comfortable as I need to.
I haven't been able to do this now for the past two weeks. Gone is the lotus position as I find myself sitting feet planted on the floor or one leg slung over the other as I attempt to preserve modesty in restrictive short garments. Slouching is out too, particularly off to one side (I tend to favour my left) because things might ride up and we simply can't have that. I feel less self-conscious in full-length dresses or when wearing thick hosiery because I do gain some more freedom in movement when wearing those. On my worst day thusfar (which, ironically, I think as far as frocked up feminine impersonators goes I actually looked my best), I was wearing a short, form-fitting bluish-purple number. The cut was flattering on me, but it was a particularly difficult day because due to the form-fitting nature of it, my movement was more restricted than it had been on any other day. My shoelace came undone whilst walking down the street, and rather than just crouch down and do it up again, I had to duck down a side street and discretely go about the operation so I didn't "flash" anyone. At the end of the day, I was suffering from back pain due to the rigid way I had to sit so the hem didn't advance too high, and my shoulder was killing because the dress required I wear a proper bra for a change.
Walking has changed too. The length of my gait is reduced in shorter and/or tighter numbers and/or if I am wearing certain shoes to go with the outfit (usually I pick whichever Docs match my mood that day, but now I'm trying to "match"). I don't like that one bit! I have turned into one of those annoying slow walkers on the footpath and it bugs me. I also can't run up the stairs most days. So I can't sit and walk how I like, and I have had to pair outfits up with other clothing items that cause discomfort. Yep, I have been whinging.
The next part of this I am not entirely sure of how to frame, so perhaps what I will do is first refer people back to my post on Miss NAIDOC to gain some insight into how I may react to attention on my appearance, and then push forward. Wearing a dress, or probably more accurately changing your appearance dramatically, does return commentary from others on your appearance and if I am honest, it's commentary which I am never mentally prepared for. It is a huge thing for me to not only dress in clothing that makes me feel uncomfortable AND that also shows off bits of my body that rarely see the light of day, but also to parade around in it all day AND post pictures of this for public viewing. People comment, and they mainly compliment, and for someone who has actively deflected commentary about their appearance for years, this is quite intimidating. I knew it would be, and hence why I took up this challenge for a good cause, but still I am finding that tough.
Indeed, I have been most comfortable when people have laughed at my effort of the day. Floral frocks have had that effect more than any other type because pairing my personality with a floral print is a mismatch I readily acknowledge. So when people have laughed at that mismatch, I have been able to laugh too and it has made the experience more fun. I have also had comments on my legs, and therein lies "childhood trauma #1". I found out that my legs were an "asset" (whatever the sod that is) back in high school when I got some uninvited commentary on my calf muscles. It was also fairly common to hear "nice legs, shame about the face" in the family home growing up. So when deflecting commentary on my appearance, they were the first thing to go. I therefore didn't greatly appreciate it the other day when I noticed a bloke turn around after I walked past him and gawp at them. Indeed, I was absolutely fuming. As I mentioned earlier, I think it comes as no surprise then that full-length and thick hosiery have been where I have been most comfortable. But it's also the least challenging for me and I didn't take on this fundraising effort to simply cruise through it.
People have been incredibly complimentary most of the time where they have made comments. I don't think I have ever had so many people say so many things about my appearance in such a short time. As you can see though, since I have issues dealing with commentary about my appearance even when it is genuine, encouraging, positive and flattering, I deal even less well when I get negative comments. This happened yesterday and it hurt like hell. Long story short, I was accused of "attention seeking" because I posted a picture of myself in my daily frock on Facebook. The person who made the comment had missed all the posts I had made about my fundraising effort, my previous blog post and all my other photos and so was unaware that I was doing this for a good cause. It made me wonder what someone has to do because I am here trying in my own way to make a little bit of a difference for other women, and have committed to doing something that I find quite confronting in order to make this difference, and yet still it can be seen in such a light. I have had to adopt false confidence and channel some of my staunchness in other ways in order to undertake this activity, so perhaps the comment misread those traits and reacted to them. I don't know, but it did serve as a reminder to me that putting yourself out there is always a risk, and that despite many gains I have made over the years in different ways to better handle that negative feedback in some areas, I have a long way to go when it comes to others.
So, all that whinging aside now; what have I enjoyed about undertaking Frocktober? Well for one, there has been the encouragement and support from others. Thanks to a bunch of wonderful people making a shed load of donations, I am currently #4 on the top fundraisers list! I can't thank you enough for your support. I have also enjoyed playing around with colours. By way of explanation, I have always been a bit of a magpie when it comes to colours and tend to gather up bright primaries and secondaries as opposed to muted tones and pastels, and so I have actually had a bit of fun finding some outrageously-coloured frocks and just going with it. Also, as people have helped me raise money for ovarian cancer research, I have also in turn managed to donate to a number of other charities as any dresses I have not previously owned or borrowed from someone, I have picked up from opportunity shops. This means that I have plugged money back into diabetes research, Scope and the Salvos. I think the best of all of this though have been the amazing women who have gone through their wardrobes and offered me frocks to wear for the cause. There is something incredibly special about women supporting other women for community betterment that I wish I could just bottle and that reminds me only too well why I am such a committed feminist in the first place. So a special thanks to those who have done this. I think you're amazing.
'til next time...

Australia / New Zealand, Trip Reports » BNT, Australiaby Damo@Cog
I have had the inkling to tackle the Bicentennial National Trail for some time now, recently I gave it a bit of a nudge. I only managed to do a small section due to some responsibilities on the home/shop front that beckoned my return. I did however, have a great experience and am keener than ever to go back and pedal the remainder.
Let me explain a little about the BNT. Firstly, it is in Australia and it is long and pretty much set up for horse riding. In Australia's Bicentennial year 1988, the trail opened but due to it's shear length is still being refined today. The trail was an initiative of R M Williams, who is quite well known in the horse and outback world where in Aus. It begins in the very South East of the Continent and meanders through ranges to the very North East. 5133km Check out www.nationaltrail.com.au for more info.
The trail is for walkers, horses and bicycles. Most of the trail can be travelled by motor vehicles but the intent of the trail in entirety is for non motorised transport. Some of the tracks I rode on definitely could not be driven on. I have done a little touring and bikepacking over the years and my approach with the BNT was to go lightweight. The country is rugged and in some cases remote, so I wanted to be relatively self sufficient. My plan was to have food enough for 4 days and carry 5 litres of water. I carried a sleeping bag and bivvy bag and a rain jacket. Of course I had basic tools and some spares too. I encountered some pretty extreme weather, so I was thankful of the huts that are strewn throughout the highcountry and provide great refuge for the lightweight bikepacker. Theses huts vary in condition depending on their location and heritage. Many are burnt in bushfires over the years but generally are rebuilt.
The trail's highest point is 1700m above sea level, so doesn't have the altitude of some trails such as the GDR. From the photos you can see that it is quite high in places, above the tree line, where the views are spectacular and the air is thin and fresh. For the first 6 days I rode with a friend Trent Lowe (an accomplished road and mtb rider). He was great company and we shared experiences throughout the Victorian high country, swimming in the rivers and
staying in the mountain huts. We saw some of the iconic Australian flora and fauna including wedge-tailed eagles, black cockatoos, wild dogs, snakes, lizards, brumbies, deer and of course kangaroos and wallabies go without saying. (horses and deer are not native to Australia). Both Trent and I are fairly well travelled, here in Australia and abroad but we loved and appreciated being out in 'our' country without the distractions of modern living. Trees were aplenty but we would still occasionally slow and point out wondrous shapes, textures or forms to each other. The extreme heat and unusual rain (remnants on a tropical cyclone) made us revel in the simplicity of seeking shelter, food and water on a daily basis.
Trent's plan was to ride to Omeo and meet with his father and do some hiking. Trent and I covered about 520kms and 10,500 m elevation change in those 6 days. Quite exhausting. I then continued solo, with the aim of covering as much country as I could in the next 20 or so days. Some more rain came from the skies and the little rivers became bigger. One night I stopped in to the luxury accommodation of the remaining roof of a nameless hut (see pic). The next day I woke to be almost enveloped by the Limestone creek that I was camping adjacent to. This proved somewhat challenging for the rest of the day as I had to cross that creek about 5 times on my path to the Victoria-NSW border which is the Murray River.
Of course the intent of any traveling is to move in some way or form and when confronted with a raging torrent of water the focus is to cross that body of water. Single mindedly I did this not without, however, taking a few little risks. At one point I was balanced on a slippery log simultaneously clinging to the log with my legs and grapling the rear wheel of my bike with my hand. I had lost balance whilst traversing the river on a fallen tree and the bike had gone under. Desperately I was trying to retrieve my ride, which was now completely submerged except for the part of the wheel in my hand. I 'calmly' assessed the situation and concluded that the bike had been pulled under another submerged tree. With all my effort, the bike would not be pulled toward me. I realized that the bike was only going one way, downstream. The flow of the water was deafening. I reached into the water on the other side of the submerged tree and grabbed the frame with my right hand. At this point I was at full stretch (which is quite a bit if you know me) still clinging around the tree with my thighs and my head was partly in the water, tilted so I could breathe. I then let go of the rear wheel with my left hand and let the bike go under. Low and behold the bike surfaced and I dragged it to the river bank. Water poured from my frame bag and under seat bag. Luckily I had the forethought to remove the sleeping bag and bivvy bag. I gathered myself, thoughts and belongings and took stock. If something had fallen off the bike it was gone now. I made the decision to go on and safely crossed the Limestone 3 further times, each time wondering if going ahead was the best thing to do. Needless to say I slept well that night after crossing the border and staying in the comfort of the township of Khancoban.
My journey continued north through the state of NSW and then into ACT (Australian Capitol Territory), covering some beautiful scenic countryside and finally mild riding temperatures. Often a day would pass without seeing another person, so when another soul was encountered it was nice to have a few words. I look forward to continuing from Canberra which is where I reached on my 13th day of riding. Maybe this year, maybe next…

There will be spoilers ahead for Episode 7 The Force Awakens
Star Wars The Last Jedi picks up right at the end of Episode 7 when Rey found Luke. In the trailer, we see a lot of Rey's training and the island. There is a wide shot with what appears to be Rey practicing wielding a lightsaber on a narrow piece of land that's reminiscent of Karate Kid when Daniel is practicing the crane kick on the beach. We also get to see Rey channeling the force and causing rocks to raise up around her in a similar effect to Superman taking flight in Man of Steel. It's clear that Luke is has taken on Rey as his apprentice to help her hone her skills. That's what makes the final line of the trailer so ominous. Luke says that it's clear to him that the Jedi must come to an end.
We also get to see Finn, Kylo, and Poe in quick shots. Poe has stumbled into some trouble again, and someone is piloting the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca. Finn is being rushed down a hallway in a pod with what look like his vital signs on the glass. Finally, Kylo appears to be more menacing with a scar over his right eye from that final blow Rey gave him with her lightsaber at the end of Force Awakens, and the blade and hilt of Kylo's lightsaber is more volatile than it was before. Could his hatred of Rey and what she did to him make Kylo stronger with the dark side?
All our questions will be answered this December when Star Wars The Last Jedi is released in theaters. Are you excited for the next entry in the Star Wars saga? Let us know in a comment what you think Luke meant by ending the Jedi.

Mercy Kitchen Reno Communicates Invaluable Worth
February 1, 2018
It is common knowledge in the real estate world that a kitchen remodel adds considerable value to a property—a reported 80% return on a project's cost, to be exact. In the case of the recent kitchen remodel in the Nashville Mercy Multiplied home, however, the value is immeasurable and involved so much more than just replacing outdated plumbing, cabinets, countertops, and appliances.
The 22-year-old commercial kitchen had seen better days. Normal wear and tear caused by 40 Mercy residents preparing and eating 120+ meals per day for over 22 years is inevitable. But finally, after every stopgap and BandAid had been applied, the time had come to restore functionality and efficiency to this overworked room and bring it up to current commercial grade construction codes.
Timing is key when planning projects that will affect 40 young women who are engrossed in an intensive healing process and seeking freedom from abuse, addiction, depression, and eating disorders. Funding is too. Yet, with faith and prayer central to their organization's operational model, this was just one more opportunity for the Mercy Multiplied team to trust God.
"I always pray before we start a project at Mercy and ask God to direct us to the right people to get the job accomplished and within our time frame," said Rebecca Anderson, Mercy's Administration Coordinator. "I know that God was in every detail of this project!"
And He was. From bringing the full funding for the $250,000 project through generous donors, to bringing the "perfect" designer, contractor, and builder team who unexpectedly completed the project one week early, God covered every detail.
"Our design and build companies were a God-send and worked with such excellence and integrity," said Anderson. "The other thing I would like to say is that Robert Lamberth, our Facilities Manager, was also amazing. He was here every day of the project and worked every weekend."
One doesn't have to look very far to see that executing this project with excellence was about more than new construction and commercial grade materials and appliances. Stepping into any of Mercy's four U.S. homes, you can see that the beautiful interiors are intentional, to communicate to the young women Mercy serves that they are daughters of the King.
Mercy Multiplied Founder and President, Nancy Alcorn, has described this operational principle like this: "I remember telling the Lord when He called me to start Mercy, 'If you're asking me to do this, then I'm asking you to make a way for us to be able to provide the best, because I don't want to tell these young women how valuable and precious and special they are and then bring them in to a house that's rundown with broken windows and broken beds that people have thrown out in their garage.' We want our residents to know how much we value them no matter what, even more so because of what they've been through, how they have been mistreated because of what other people have done to them or because of bad choices they've made that have exposed them to being mistreated."
The thousands of struggling young women who have come through Mercy's doors over the course of 35 years have experienced this. Within the context of a beautiful residence they have learned biblical keys to freedom and have come to know their value and worth in Jesus Christ.
The Nashville kitchen renovation is just one example and fitting metaphor to the life transformations that happen every day at Mercy. The builders took out the old and put in the new, just as Mercy residents for years to come will have the chance to do—to put off their old lives and put on their new lives in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17). In Mercy's estimation, there is no restoration more valuable than that.

The president must also call on Congress to ensure that this Congress' minimum wage increase bill includes an increase for tipped workers—which has been frozen at $2.13 an hour since 1991. Then, and only then, can we ensure that all workers earn a fair day's pay for a hard day's work.
The WAGES Act raises the minimum wage of tipped employees from the current level of $2.13 per hour to $3.75 per hour within the 1st 3 months, to $5 per hour within 1st year, and to 70% of minimum wage after two years.
Please tell your representatives that you support the Wages Act!
Stay tuned for updates!

Not an Inspiration
How a spinal cord injury revealed to Shane Clifton both the wonder and fragility of life.
"I landed upside down in the pit and I knew immediately I had broken my neck. I couldn't move anything. I yelled out to my wife, and she thought I was joking at first. I remember just apologising to my wife. There was this sense that I'd done something I knew was going to impact our whole family drastically."
There are a lot of words you could use to describe Shane Clifton: husband, father, professor, theologian. When you meet him you'll notice that he's in a wheelchair, because Shane is also a quadriplegic.
But one word we're not using to describe him is "inspiration".
"As soon as you say, 'that's amazing because they're disabled!' you're actually diminishing what it is they've achieved. My point would be to do your best to treat people as people."
In this episode, Shane tells the story of how a freak accident led to him becoming a quadriplegic. He also explains his problem with the "positivity myth", and shares his insights on what the Bible and Christianity have to say about disability.
"The cycle of life, the wonder and the joy of life, all the good things that we've got in life, are connected to the cycle of fragility and vulnerability. ... If I can accept the wonder of the cycle of life, I guess I have to accept the consequences of that too, which in my case was a spinal cord injury."

Hintzen made his first career start as a Moccasin a memorable one, tossing a complete game three-hitter as Florida Southern downed Tampa, 4-2, to advance to the championship game of the NCAA Division II South Region Tournament held here Tuesday at Henley Field. The two teams will play once again Wednesday at noon in the championship game. The Moccasins (41-9-1) will need to win one more game to advance to the national tournament May 26-June 2 in Cary, NC. Tampa (42-10) advanced to the title game with a 7-1 win late this evening versus Mississippi College.
Hintzen, now 13-0 on the season, struck out four and walked none in limiting the Spartans to a pair of home runs. The complete game marked Hintzen's longest stint of his Florida Southern career. The righthander finished strong, retiring 16 in a row before allowing a single with two outs in the ninth.
- Florida Southern struck first, scoring twice with two outs in the bottom of the first inning. Austin Mauer was plunked with a pitch and Omar Villaman followed with a single to left field. Logan Browning was also struck with an offering from Tampa starter, Kevin Pementel to load the bases. Hayden Marze then laced a liner into left field to drive in Mauer and Villaman to give the Moccasins a 2-0 lead.
- Tampa answered with a two out solo homer by Nick DeTringo in the top of the third inning off Moccasin starter J.T. Hintzen who was making his first career start at Florida Southern.
- Light rains then hit the are and the tarp was pulled onto and off the field after a brief, 27-minute delay.
- The Spartans tied the game at 2-all on a Hanson Bragg one-out homer in the top of the fourth inning.
- Florida Southern added a pair of unearned runs in the bottom of the fifth. Cody Burgess reached on a fielding error while Pablo Carbera hit a fly ball past a diving Richie Rivera in center field that him on third with a RBI-triple. Mauer then hit a long foul ball that was caught by the first baseman running with his back to the field. Cabrera scampered home on the play as Mauer was credited with an RBI. Villaman followed with a single to chase Pementel in favor of Mark Moclair.
- Christian Maglich made the catch of the year for the Moccasins, leaping waist-high above the left field fence to run Tampa's Nick DeTringo of a certain home run to lead off the ninth inning.
- Florida Southern is now 149-78 in NCAA postseason play and is 44-32 versus Nova Southeastern including a 3-1 record this season.
- The 13 wins by Hintzen is tied for the fifth-most in a single season by a Moccasin pitcher.
- Villaman collected two of the five hits by the Moccasins in the contest.
- Maglich was held hitless in three at-bats to see his 15-game hitting streak come to an end.
- GM 01 - #2 Tampa 12, #7 Albany State 2
- GM 02 - #3 Delta State 13, #6 Mississippi College 3
- GM 03 - #4 Nova Southeastern 12, #5 Montevallo 7

In the world of digital advertising it can seem difficult to know which way is up! But a new study from MediaBrix, Neuro Research – Brand Receptivity in a Mobile Environment, reveals that user engagement is both amplified and more meaningful when the delivery method is a vertical and embedded into the app experience. MediaBrix partnered with Dr. Thomas Ramsoy of Neurons, Inc. and Neuromarketing expert Diana Lucaci of True Impact to conduct research that quantifies how two popular mobile video ad solutions affect key branding metrics, drive user receptivity, human attention and action.
The study tested a standard full page video interstitial (mid-roll) to understand users' real-time reactions and engagements. It explored:
* How branding value is amplified or compromised using different mobile video ad formats
* How engagement and action, degrees of ad annoyance, and motivation change when compared to different ad delivery methods
* And, if there is a "Race to X" phenomena happening within certain ad formats
What's Up?
* More than 90/100 of top iOS apps by monthly active users have a fixed vertical orientation
* A recent MediaBrix sample of 1000+ premium apps found 86% designed for vertical use
* Horizontal ads have consumers racing to find the X button
*Nearly 70% of users don't bother to turn the phone sideways for horizontal ads. Snapchat reports that vertical video ads on its platform garner nine times the completion rates of horizontal video ads.
*In contrast, vertical ads garner 90% completion
To allow brands to take advantage of the power of vertical video, MediaBrix has launched Vertical Video and 360-Degree Experiences across its premium in-app ad platform. "Our mission at MediaBrix has always been to focus on the needs of mobile users and to put the human experience at the center of the ad delivery," said Ari Brandt, CEO and co-founder of MediaBrix (pictured top left). "It's the user's world we're entering, and the advertising has to respect it in order to be welcomed. Portrait-style vertical video and 360-degree experiences are vital steps in our goal to prioritize user needs, desires, and habits to drive real mobile engagement."
MediaBrix Applies Study Results to Their Offerings
"We know that for real brand performance on mobile, format is a critical part of the equation — the more the ad naturally fits into the consumer's mobile environment, the better the brand will connect with the consumer, said Jeremy Sigel, Global Director, Partnerships & Emerging Media at Essence Digital (pictured left). "That means adapting to the vertical app experience to which consumers are accustomed, and MediaBrix is doing just that with the release of vertical and 360 experiences."
MediaBrix's latest move into vertical video utilizes the majority of the screen, as well as immersive 360-degree experiences, allowing brands to present their messaging in the most captivating video forms consumers love. MediaBrix's extensive network of premium apps will be ready to support brands as they invest more in vertical video and 360 experiences, so brands can get more mileage and quality engagement from their new formats.

Japan's second-biggest retailer said yesterday it had sold beef from cattle that ate nuclear--contaminated feed, the latest in a series of health scares from radiation leaking from a quake-crippled nuclear power plant.
Cases of contaminated vegetables, tea, milk, seafood and water have already stoked anxiety after the world's worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl in 1986, despite assurances from officials that the levels are not dangerous.
Aeon Co said it had sold the contaminated beef at a store in Tokyo and at more than 12 stores in the surrounding area, as radiation continues to spill from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant four months after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
Aeon, which competes with top retail group Seven & I -Holdings, said in a statement that cattle from Fukushima Prefecture were given animal feed originating from rice straw that exceeded the government's limits for radioactive cesium.
Japan was now likely to ban shipments of beef, hugely popular in Japan, from around Fukushima, a Cabinet minister said yesterday. It was not immediately clear what had delayed such a move, unlikely to deflect criticism that the government has been slow in its response to the crisis.
Aeon said it sold 319kg of the beef from April 27 to June 20 at one shop in Tokyo and other shops in Kanagawa and Chiba. Aeon said it also sold the beef at outlets in Shizuoka and Ishikawa, both in central Japan.
The retailer said that it would start to check beef shipments from all areas that could -potentially have contaminated feed.
"The most likely outcome is that we will ban beef shipments," Goshi Hosono, the Cabinet minister responsible for coordinating the nuclear cleanup, said on a TV program yesterday. "We are discussing the matter along these lines. We have to ensure food safety."
Cesium three to six-times higher than safety standards was found last week in beef shipped to Tokyo from a farmer in Minami Soma city, near Tokyo Electric Power Co's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant.
A Farm Ministry official said consuming such meat a few times would pose no immediate health risks.
Shipments of certain vegetables from areas near the plant have also been halted because of high radiation levels, while cesium was found at levels above safety limits in tiny "kounago" fish in waters near Fukushima, stoking worries about seafood in a country where sushi and sashimi are eaten widely.

The Red Scarf
I sit here in my cold dark cell looking up at the peeling paint reflecting back at the events that led up to this point.
It all began a few months earlier on a dreary October morning. My life had been coasting along uneventfully up until then. I was a good boy as a youngster and fairly sheltered as most of my peers were, then I went out into the world, got an office, a secretary and slowly settled into a new pattern.
The morning began innocently enough. If I had any idea how my life would change I would've just stayed in bed forever.
My vivid imagination always has me expecting the unexpected but I was not prepared for the sight that greeted me when I shuffled into the kitchen.
Sitting at the wooden table was me, calmly eating a bowl of cheerios. I stood there frozen in my shorts and undershirt, mouth agape and white as a sheet. It's funny how one can recognize his own mannerisms and I was anticipating his every motion. No, this wasn't some long lost twin this was me without a doubt.
The me at the table did not acknowledge my presence at all. He slurped down the milk as I'm want to and threw the bowl into the sink without washing it, the slob..
After that he simply left out the narrow door of the kitchen, the screen door slamming with a sharp thud, wresting me out of my reverie.
"Hey wait!" I yelled and ran to the door but he was gone.
I sat there for awhile not noticing the sunrays baking my back, at a total loss.
Was I losing my mind? Who can I possiby tell?
I looked into the mirror and patted my cheeks just to make sure I was still here. I decided then that it was nothing but a mirage, a dream perhaps. I'd forget it about it and continue with my day.
The day went pretty smooth and I somehow managed to push out of my mind the mornings occurrence and run my company.
The first indication of trouble came just 2 days later when people at work were looking at me funny. I was either getting paranoid or the whole place was whispering about me and the whispers seemed to be getting louder and louder until I could not take it anymore. I walked over to the water cooler where Mark was standing and cornered him, "alright what's going on here?" I whispered menacingly. "As if you don't know", he replied with a smirk. "No I don't" I shouted as half the office turned to see what the commotion was about.
I walked back to my desk feeling constricted and uncomfortable.
I looked around and spotted Jerry the accountant at his desk surveying the office from behind his thick plastic glasses. I immediately Imed him. "Hey Jerry..what's going on?" What he answered made my stomach drop. Basically I had been out last night getting drunk, going to clubs and acting very uncharacteristicly. I was mortified.
Things would only get worse.
That night I decided to go out and track down my double and get to the bottom of this. I walked around peeking into clubs and bars until I was exhausted and headed home.
I came home to find 2 police officers at the door. "Sir can we speak with you a moment?". "Sure", I answered uneasily, "come in".
The older officer walked in slowly his grey eyes scanning every inch of my living room.
He stopped at the coffee table, looked up at me from under his crooked cap and asked "where were you 11am this morning?"
I thought for a moment and then anwered.."I was at work sir..why do you ask?"
The junior officer a hispanic fellow named Vargas dropped a packet of surveillance pictures onto the table. I slowly lifted them, eyes intent and felt my knees give out under me. I collapsed onto the couch.."officer this man looks just iike me.., but I have a whole office full of alibis attesting to my whereabouts, and besides I'd never ever shoplift".
After handing them a list of my co-workers phone numbers I walked them to the door and closed it behind them. I sat down poured myself a drink and fell asleep in my clothes.
The next morning I went to work and things seemed to be back to normal except for Lisa my secretary who seemed to be dreamily staring at me all day. At 1pm she got up, walked past my desk and dropped a small sticky note onto my desk that read "recover yet, stud?".
I had to get out of here. I grabbed my jacket and raced home. My heart was racing now and I needed some kind of plan. That night I decided to go out and look for him again.
The streets were full of the usual late night revelers and I felt very uncomfortable, but I kept on looking. I rounded a corner and caught a glimpse down the block of myself rounding the next corner. I started running with total disregard to the people on the street who didn't seem to care anyhow in their inebriated state. I actually grabbed someone and asked breathlessly.."hey did you see which direction I went?"
I returned home empty, alone and utterly exhausted.
The next morning I picked up the local paper and saw the headline "Local bank robbed". Under that was a fuzzy surveillance picture of the perpetrator and there he was again. Luckily he was wearing a mask but I was able to recognize his physique.
I was thorougly frustrated and was about to pour myself another drink when I threw the glass across the room, the sound of the shattering soothing my nerves for a second.
Suddenly there was a frantic knocking at the door. I peeked through the peep hole and backed away..
My own voice rang out "come on I know you're in there..please open up.."
I was silent..trying to quiet my thumping heart. Oh no, I suddenly realized the door was not locked as the knob turned slowly. The door opened and he tiptoed in closing the door behind himself. I was backing up slowly into the kitchen. He turned to me and started pleading "Hey you have to help me..I'm hungry, tired and the cops are looking for me". He was wearing a simple black coat and a bright red scarf, not something I would ever wear. I reached my hand to the left out of his sight and groped around for a knife on the counter. I wanted to kill him and be done with this nightmare but I couldn't do it. I actually felt some pity for him and whispered hoarsely "sure, come have something to eat". Watching him was like an out of body experience. The overall mannerism was exactly me. There was, however, a cockiness about him that I didn't recognize and found threatening. I watched him eat hungrily in silence. This moment was so strange it brought awkwardness to a whole new level. I coughed and then I asked, "where did you come from?" He started laughing and nearly choked on his food. "Where did I come from? I'm you..you silly man". He then proceeded to brag about his exploits, things I would never dream of doing. I found myself fascinated and revolted all at once.
We shared a few drinks and fell asleep on the couch..
The next thing I remember, it's 4:00am and the room is a mess. Empty bottles and leftover food strewn about the dimly lit room. I sat there looking at myself sleep so fitfully and actually felt bad for him for a moment. I stood unsteadily went to the kitchen, took that black kitchen knife in my hand and stabbed him 3 times in the heart. He slumped to the floor without ever having woken up. I then stood erect, fixed my red scarf and calmly walked out the door.

Underworld: Awakening
- Starring: Kate Beckinsale (Underworld), Michael Ealy (Takers), India Eisley (The Secret Life of the American Teenager)
- Directed by: Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein
- Synopsis: "Kate Beckinsale, star of the first two films, returns in her lead role as the vampire warrioress Selene, who escapes imprisonment to find herself in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans, and are conducting an all-out war to eradicate both immortal species." (www.entertheunderworld.com)
- Rated: R for strong violence, gore, and language.
- Trailer:
"…and I repeat, Vampires don't sparkle!"
First off, if you're not a fan of the Underworld series, don't expect this one to turn you into a believer. As a matter of fact, you probably already have no interest in seeing this one, and, on that note, shouldn't.
BUT! for those of you who love the series, this film is for you! I AM a big fan of the Underworld series! Vampires that don't sparkle! Bloodthirsty Lycans! Nonstop action! Engrossing storyline! Continuity of actors reprising their roles throughout the entire series! Kate Beckinsale! What's NOT to like? So, for me, seeing this film was a "guilty-pleasure-gotta-see!"
Kate Beckinsale is back in black! The Underworld franchise returns to the big screen with this latest continuation of the series. Years have passed since we last saw Selene, the death dealer, fighting against Lycans, and much has happened in that time. The film begins with a quick comprehensive flashback of a recap and then quickly immerses you right into the action! With high expectations from a faithful following of the series, Underworld Awakening delivers.
My bias aside, Underworld Awakening does succeed in a few areas, but, however, it unfortunately disappoints in more.
Sink your teeth into the following:
- Produced by Len Wiseman (who directed the first two), but directed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein (who mainly directed television series). The directing team did decent for their first stab at a full-length major motion picture, but their previous experience seemingly limits the movie from taking off and being a standalone film.
- Action-packed with great slo-mo effects and the expected violence/gore, yet several stoic performances yield very little development of any of the characters in the film. Ignoring one of the biggest strengths of the previous installments: great backstories of the characters providing depth, emotion, and relativity.
- Similar look and feel as the previous films, but this first venture of the series in 3D = epic fail. Pointless to watch in 3D. Pointless.
- Great cast with new introductions that seemingly fit into their roles nicely. However, most ended up being underused. The film needed to be longer to provide better development and usage of the cast. (Theo James, Kris Holden-Ried, Michael Ealy, Charles Dance, all deserved better development of their characters).
- And yes, Kate Beckinsale -while hot!- still remains mostly expressionless throughout the film. Probably the biggest criticism I have read about her role in Underworld Awakening. It should not, however, be viewed as a flaw of the film due to the fact that it truly contributes to her character's plight and helps tell the story a little bit better than the directing team could.
- A great reintroduction to Underworld, but with so many subplots and teases leading to future installments (of this I have no doubt), Underworld Awakening starts off in a direction down multiple paths that end with very little resolution. Fans will recognize certain characters and expect to see more of them…only to be left with disappointment.
I tend to think a little differently than some of the FIRST FANS this time around. See exactly what the FIRST FANS had to say when my friend CASEY MESSER (host of Naked Trailers and First Fans for ReelzChannel) sought out their reactions:
Thanks for reading! Happy Watching!
–Score: 2.5 out of 5 stars for Underworld: Awakening
up next: Review for Red Tails
