McConnell: Budget Secures Resources to Benefit Kentucky
- By : D.East
- Category : CSEPP, Featured Article
The $1 trillion spending bill signed by President Donald Trump on Friday not only keeps the federal government open through September, it also includes additional money to pay for the destruction of chemical agents stored at Blue Grass Army Depot.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-KY, the Senate Majority Leader, announced the measure contains over $380 million for the Department of Defense Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternative program and an additional $127 million to supplement funding for the chemical weapons destruction. This is were the funding for CSEPP comes from.
The measure also contains $152 million for the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) which supports economic development in eastern Kentucky and language and language inserted by McConnell which permanently protects health care benefits for about 3,000 retired coal miners in Kentucky.
All had thought to be in jeopardy at one time as Trump's administration sought deep cuts in domestic spending in an earlier budget outline, but McConnell previously promised to secure funding for the Blue Grass Army Depot munitions destruction and for ARC.
The spending measure, called an omnibus appropriations bill, does not include money for Trump's top priority – a border wall across the United States' southern border with Mexico. But it includes money for other forms of border security technology.
The spending measure avoids a government shutdown for now, funding the government through the end of the federal fiscal year which ends Sept. 30. Trump this week said a "good shutdown" might fix the "mess in Washington," but McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-WIS., have vowed there'll be no government shutdown.
McConnell's Senate office released a statement Thursday saying McConnell secured funding in the appropriations bill for a number of Kentucky priorities:
$250 million for cleanup and deactivation at Paducah's nuclear diffusion site with an additional $50 million for a conversion facility at the site;
$25 million in new, supplemental funding for Kentucky abandoned mine sites to support economic development and reclamation of abandoned mine sites;
$20 million through the Department of Labor for training and employment services for unemployed miners in eastern Kentucky;
$234 million for the National Guard Counter-Drug program for marijuana eradication efforts in eastern Kentucky;
$25 million for the Printing House for the Blind in Louisville;
And language inserted by U.S. Congressman Hal Rogers, R-Somerset, prohibiting the U.S. Corps of Engineers from completing a study which might have led to fees for municipalities and businesses which draw water from Lake Cumberland.
The measure also contains funding for the DEA's High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) and for health-related opioid recovery programs.
The New York Times reported Friday that Trump is considering cutting the Office of National Drug Control Policy by 95 percent, which would include the HIDTA program.

Congressional hearing held at Grand Canyon
Shrine of Ages hearing focuses on potential uranium mining implications
GRAND CANYON, Ariz. - A number of conservation groups, members of the Havasupai and Hualapi tribes, National Park Service officials, and others filled the Shrine of Ages for a congressional hearing on April 8 to discuss the effects of uranium mining in the area, as well as other topics. Groups in attendance for the meeting included the Sierra Club, the Grand Canyon Trust, the National Parks Conservation Association and more. Reps. Raul Grijalva, Tom McClintock, Grace Napolitano and John Shaddeg were on hand for the hearing. Grijalva recently introduced legislation that would formally withdraw more than 1 million acres of land around the Grand Canyon from new uranium mining claims.
Carletta Tilousi, a member of the Havasupai Tribe, was one of the many speakers present for the hearing.
"Within our reservation boundaries of 185,000 acres, the Havasupai is one of the only tribes in the country that has added in to our constitution for no uranium mining, or exploration or any development of any kind," Tilousi said. "Within our boundaries we do not have any type of uranium activity. The closest uranium activity that's currently happening right now is 13 miles from us."
The proximity to the mining, however, has raised concerns for the tribe, she said, in that heavy winds can often pass through the area in question and carry to the reservation. She said that tribal officials are also concerned that the mining could conceivably contaminate their water supply, though she added that she currently had no data to support those concerns.
"The thing with uranium is you cannot, see it, smell it, or touch it or hear it come," Tilousi said. "We have experienced an increase in cancer."
Roger Clark, the air and energy director for Grand Canyon Trust, said the hearing highlighted both the economic and human implications of uranium mining at the Grand Canyon.
"This is the fourth hearing on the uranium bill on the Grand Canyon Watershed Protection Act and I think that portion of the hearing brought to a head people's understanding of, not only the economic implications, but also the human implications with the Native American presence," Clark said. "The economic implications, I think, pretty much showed that the industry feels that it has a right to move into the landscape around the Grand Canyon and mine out all the uranium. We feel that it's not in the economic best interest of our region given the sustaining basis of tourism, the industrialization of the watershed isn't in our best interest."
He added that the recent hearing also highlighted the broad support for uranium withdrawal from various organizations and individuals in the southwest.
"We had representatives, at least in the room, from five different tribes in the region and we heard testimony from two," Clark said. "We had the Sierra Club, National Park Conservation, and the Center for Biological, three national organizations there in the room. We had the Grand Canyon Trust, which is a regional organization. We had people in the boating industry, from recreational tourism in the room, it was just a good turnout of local and regional leaders."
Clark said he plans to return to Washington, D.C. where he hopes to continue progress on the watershed protection act.
"I work a lot on the uranium issues so my hope is that we go ahead and get the Grand Canyon Watershed Protection Act out of the house. We'll be headed back to D.C. with some of our Havasupai friends fairly soon to reinforce that message with Congress," Clark said. "We're trying to build support in the Senate. So far McCain and Kyl have been unresponsive to our requests, so we may need to go elsewhere to get a sponsor."
In 2009, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar segregated roughly 1 million acres of land in the Arizona Strip for a two-year "timeout" from new mining claims in order to give the department time to look into the effects on uranium mining on the Grand Canyon area's natural resources. Their findings could lead to the withdrawal of the land from new mining claims for 20 years. A U.S. Geological Survey report evaluating uranium resources can be found online at http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2010/5025/.
While Salazar's current withdrawal is scheduled to last two years, the legislation is seeking a more permanent resolution.
"It's a little confusing, because there is this administrative withdrawal and moratorium that the Secretary of Interior ordered last year. There is a two-year administrative process on that administrative withdrawal, but that would be a withdrawal of 20 years. The legislation is a separate, but related activity, that's in Congress that would provide a more permanent withdrawal," Clark said.

Severn Vale Housing nominated by charity for Gloucestershire Business Award
A nomination by Brockworth Link has recognised the work of grants and social value office Janette Vizard, as part of Severn Vale's investment in the local community.
The Local Business Charity Awards, founded by Jelf in 2014 and now sponsored jointly with Ageas, recognise the support given by Gloucestershire companies to local Gloucestershire charities. Severn Vale Housing is a finalist in the Ageas award, for charities with an annual income of less than £200,000 a year.
Janette has been working with Brockworth Link for around two years and, during that time, has supported their team to submit many grant applications for activities at the library, including building improvements, school holiday activities for children, youth work and to cover core salaries.
"I'm delighted that we've received the nomination, and would like to say thank you to Monica Constantinescu at Brockworth Link for putting my name forward. We've been working closely together, and always discuss future project ideas to ensure that there is sufficient capacity to meet the requirements of the grant funders, and exactly how a project could operate, all before applications are submitted. I have good networks across the county and we often look to work with other organisations and partners to deliver new projects and activities, and really bring people and skills together. We also support the Link with advice on governance, such as the constitution, policies and procedures, as these all have a critical impact on the success or otherwise of grant applications."
"Brockworth Link, like many of the charities we support, doesn't have dedicated staff or the experience of governance and grants, and the work we do to help is considered an important source of support, allowing them to make full use of their time in running their charity."
Monica Constantinescu General Manager at Brockworth Link, commented: "We have been working with Janette for over 2 years and in this time she has helped us to locate suitable grants, write bids and application forms and assist in managing policies and procedures. She has been an immense help to us and we wouldn't be where we are today without her help."
"We would like to express our gratitude for her time spent with us and to say thank you to Severn Vale for their support over the years."

Little Trentinney
Luxury Self-Catering Holiday Cottage near Port Isaac, North Cornwall
Search for:
A while ago, just before we started renting out Little Trentinney, a soon-to-be-married friend got in touch for some honeymoon advice. "We're looking for classic Cornwall," he said. "A traditional stone cottage, sitting all by itself, in the middle of the countryside. You know, roses over the door, that sort of thing. Does this kind of place exist?"
We showed him a picture of Little Trentinney.
"That's it," he said. And they came to stay as their wedding present.
Welcome to a retreat like no other. Deep in rolling countryside three miles south of Doc Martin's Port Isaac, surrounded by fields on all four sides, is Little Trentinney – a traditional stone cottage with a large, sun-drenched garden stretching towards the local farmer's orchard below.
From the fittings to the furniture, it's a mixture of traditional and modern. Our meticulous renovation took over a year, keeping original features like slate floors (from the historic quarry at Delabole), stable doors and a traditional "
clome oven
" (don't worry, you'll be using the Neff one in the kitchen); and adding all the trappings you'd expect from a luxury holiday cottage, like fine linens, ultra-modern bathrooms, and a mini library downstairs. We're also technologically up-to-date, with flat-screen TVs, an iPod dock and WiFi, to keep in touch with the outside world.
Deep in nature – connected to the road by a half-mile (paved) farm track, with the nearest house a field away – the cottage offers privacy and peace in equal measure. Your neighbours are the sheep and cows in the surrounding fields – "the most photographed cows in Britain", as one of our recent visitors wrote – and the only locals breaking the silence are the birds in the surrounding trees, the newborn lambs every spring, and the odd rabbit scampering across the lawn. The views from each window run uninterrupted for miles – Little Trentinney sits in an AGLV (Area of Great Landscape Value), and borders the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that runs along the North Cornwall coast.
Trentinney – the farm on whose land the cottage sits – has its place in Cornish myth. Local legend says that the 'Lord of Trentinney' was supposedly
killed by King Arthur
(using Excalibur, no less) before being resurrected by the local saint, Endelienta.
Little Trentinney has been in our family for nearly 50 years. Three generations of us have enjoyed the magical views, beautiful garden and incomparable peace and quiet; and in 2011 we decided to share it. Whether you're looking for a romantic bolthole, a family-friendly getaway, or simply an escape from the city, we think you'll find it here.

"If brands stay ahead of technological trends and remain in touch with human needs, they will know where customers are headed and beat them there."
As technology takes hold, human needs are evolving in response – and smart brands should be positioned to anticipate them. From freedom to flow, Dan Clay – Partner in Innovation at creative consultancy Lippincott – outlines six ways brands can future-proof their offering in a world where digital and reality converge.
We're in the midst of remarkable change not seen since the industrial revolution. Technological advancements are ushering in new mindsets for consumers and marketers alike; increasing expectations for flexibility, on-demand everything and data-driven intelligence have changed the rules of consumer behaviour.
In a survey of 2,000 US consumers who report a high level of alignment of tech-driven trends, nearly 70 per cent have seen a rise in their personal demands for instant access and customisation. Fifty-two per cent said they always choose products or services that don't make them wait. And, contrary to conventional marketing philosophy, consumers are increasingly willing to buy and embrace an unfamiliar brand on Amazon if it comes with a five-star rating.
Just a few years from now, how we shop, connect with and think about brands will be very different. So, how can brands shape their marketing strategy today to ensure they stay relevant tomorrow? Here are six fundamental ways brands can prepare for the customer of the future.
Never interrupt customer 'flow'
The customer of the future will gain freedom through mobility. As technology allows us to untie many binds, fixed acquisitions that once anchored us such as jobs and contracts will soon flow with us. Our survey found that consumers were six times more likely to prefer the flexibility of renting over the stability of ownership.
Brands that meet their customers where they are and flow smoothly with their de-located, independent lives will win in the future. Never make a customer feel tied down; make convenience and flexibility a selling point. We've seen the beginnings of this shift already: the need to hail a cab, visit the grocery store, or stop at the bank is diminishing by the day. Even the most minor interruptions will stand out once the world is dramatically streamlined by technology.
Ground trust in transparency, not authority
We'll increasingly be tracked and track ourselves, but we'll also reap greater benefits of social connection and personalised recommendations. Our wearables will know if we need more calcium, our refrigerator will know if we need more milk, and our car will know the cheapest place to pick it up. Social experiences will dominate; sharing on social platforms will be easier than ever, and benefits like lower premiums and product discounts will flow to those who are willing to share their data.
This seemingly unlimited amount of consumer data is ripe with opportunity for brands and innovators. But tread lightly: when all can be tracked, consumers will demand transparency. This heightened visibility will lead to a rise of reliance on ratings, and every brand considered will have a score. To win, it'll be ever more important that a brand be transparent and open up the customer experience to full accountability.
Give consumers freedom
In the future, technology will provide new opportunities to wield power in line with personal preferences. Modularity, mixing and customisation will become the expectation. Customers will have high expectations – they know they're being tracked, so they'll expect their products and services to understand and even anticipate them.
Give your customers the power to unbundle, customise, make, modulate and mix. Standard is simply the starting point; successful brands will have to give more and grant customers the power to control their own unique experiences.
Don't make them wait
The appetite for the instantaneous knows no bounds. Everything from entertainment to groceries will be available in an instant and repetitive tasks will be automated, freeing up more of our precious time. With 85 per cent of consumers feeling more efficient thanks to today's technologically driven world, the growing desire for on-demand everything has opened up doors for disrupters everywhere.
Eliminate customers' three nonstarters: waiting, boredom and unnecessary effort. Make everything instant, fun and easy. Keep up with their ever-increasing expectations for immediacy and efficiency.
Feed the appetite for knowledge
In the future, not knowing will be nearly impossible. With artificial intelligence and constant access to the world's knowledge base, we'll know more than ever. We'll see a dramatic shift of expertise toward the wisdom of the crowd; we'll trust diverse opinions over the individual expert.
We found that 62 per cent of consumers would rather make decisions based on intelligent apps and crowdsourced information than on the advice of friends and family. Equip customers with as much information as possible, from as many sources as possible. Open your traditional expertise to the wisdom of the crowd and artificial intelligence.
Merge digital and human worlds
Today, we speak of two worlds: digital versus real; but this distinction will disintegrate with the expansion of augmented reality, virtual reality and digital identities. We'll live in immersive environments that drive collaboration, connection and empathy. And our identity will grant us access to new possibilities. As any teenager with a Snapchat Story already knows, we'll carefully craft personal brands as one of our few remaining owned assets.
With 80 per cent of the consumers surveyed feeling the need to be constantly connected, brands need to help customers do more and be more by integrating digital and real. Capitalise on all the new possibilities in gamification, beautification, information and communication.
If brands stay ahead of technological trends and remain in touch with human needs, they will know where customers are headed and beat them there. They'll fly through daunting change into a world of unprecedented opportunity.

There are a lot of stigmas and negativities surrounding bankruptcy, painted by the media's relentless crucifixion of celebrities and individuals who are in the lime-light that file. Bankruptcy is far more common than most people in Pennsylvania think, with an estimated 1.25 million Americans estimated to file this year alone. This number sounds staggering, but it has decreased from last year.
Though most would assume that those who file for bankruptcy simply cannot resist swiping that credit card, the average person who files does so for multiple reasons, many of which are not as condemning at the stigma makes the act sound. Here are some of the common myths surrounding bankruptcy.
The first myth is that people who file bankruptcy are fiscally irresponsible. This is not true. Most people who file for bankruptcy have encountered life altering circumstances that have caused financial distress. This often includes divorce, loss of employment or a serious medical issue. Many well-intended and responsible Americans are driven to bankruptcy as a last resort under dire circumstances.
The second assumption is that bankruptcy alleviates all debts. Once again, this myth is not true. While bankruptcy will help to remove some debt, it often involves a strict process of repayment that meets the needs of the filer. Some debts can be resolved, such as student loans that belong to students who are facing severe hardships.
There is a negative stigma attached to filing for bankruptcy due to these common myths. In reality, bankruptcy is a necessary act that is a game-changer for many struggling families. If you have additional questions, speaking to an experienced attorneycould be beneficial.

Do you know what ASL means? Internet Lingo continutes to evolve, and we all need to pay attention to this language that kids speak (type). A tip of the hat to one of our website visitors, a teacher, who sent in an article from the Hosting Reviews & Customer Ratings Website. It is a collection of over 25 sites that address everything from Cyber Fraud to Safety Tips for Teens. One particulary great tip is a link to Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne's Internet Safety Guide for Parents. Great graphics, easy to read, timely – we highly recommend it. And BTW (by the way), ASL stands for Age, Sex, Location and is lingo typically used in chat rooms to find kids that might be vulnerable to meeting and grooming.
Lots of great stuff here, just remember when you click on various sites there are some ads and pop-ups. Remember that clicking on pop ups gives those advertisers browsing history about you. We went through all of the links and they appear to be safe, for instance one is the FBI's Internet Safety Guide.
Great resources to share – check them out.

Mayhem at the Orient Express
(League of Literary Ladies)
Brand New Series
Cozy Mystery
A Berkley Prime Crime Mystery
The Berkley Publishing Group (June 4, 2013)
Published by The Penguin Group
Cover Illustration by Dan Craig
Cover Design by George Long
Mass Market Paperback: 304 pages
E-Book File Size: 660 KB
At a local Chinese restaurant, it's the owner who gets taken out…
Ex-Manhattanite Bea Cartwright, hippy cat lover Chandra Morrisey, and winery owner Kate Wilder may be neighbors but they are definitely not friends. They end up in Community Court to voice their complaints against each other and the unusual ruling leaves them having to spend time together each and every week. Since the local library is about to lose its funding because it doesn't have a book discussion group, they are sentenced to start one. The League of Literary Ladies is born.
They choose Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express as their first book. They quickly learn that they all love to eat the exact same thing at the new restaurant in town, The Orient Express. It may be the only thing they agree on. They all meet up there after their first book group meeting. Their appetites disappear rapidly when they arrive to find owner, Peter Chan, has served his last meal ever. Some one has permanently taken him out.
Now with detective Hercule Poirot for inspiration, The Ladies have a really mystery to solve. Hopefully they can catch the killer before they kill each other…
Dollycas's Thoughts
What a fun idea for a mystery series!! I loved it!!
These ladies are as fantastic characters. Quirky, bright, feisty, and engaging. Even Chandra who would rather watch the movie than read the book is someone I want to know better. A fourth woman, Luella, joins the group which is good because sometimes the other three need a referee.
Logan sets the book is a small tourist town that adds it own elements to the story. Where else would a book club be punishment for neighbors that just can't seem to get along? Then there is a snow storm that knocks out power and that brings all the woman and their suspects together. Just like Christie's classic mystery.
A fabulous story unfolds with several twists that keeps the reader entertained and the pages swiftly turning. Plan to read this one all in one sitting.
I can't wait to see the book the League of Literary Ladies pick next!!

I will have to add this book to my list! Thanks for the review.
Another sweet and cozy read! Going over to Goodreads to check this out now! Your review was wonderful and now this is a must read.
You always have such wonderful books.
I want to read this so badly. I had it in my hands just a couple of days, but made myself put it down…grr… I opted to keep to a commitment to read a couple that I already have before starting a new series. There is no way that I am going to hold off for long. I have no will power when it comes to cozies. Their interesting fun covers and their fun story lines appeal to me like no other. Thank you for your review.

This one sounds great. It is part of my extensive TBR list. 🙂

If you work out on a regular basis and all of a sudden get an injury then you probably think it's okay to stop exercising until you're completely healed. But unless you're on doctor-prescribed bedrest there's ALWAYS soemthing you can do to stay fit and lean.
Check out this fitness video to learn how to do Flex-R-cise, which involves flexing your muscles to slow down muscle loss when you can't do anything else.
Flex-R-cise is like electrostimulation but using your brain instead of an electronic contraption. Flex-R-cise is great when you are injured but its also appropriate for people who are so busy that they "dont have time to work out". If your job at work or home is so demanding that you never have a single second free during the day, you can still get in shape using Flex-R-cise! Beginners can gain strength and muscle mass just by following this routine and you can do it anywhere, anytime. You can do it on the bus, while waiting in line at the grocery store, or waiting to pick up the kids. Please note that gains using Flex-R-cise are very limited when compared to what can be accomplished with traditional weight training but Flex-R-cise is infinitely better than nothing!

Early registration discount is available until April 30, 2018. Use code "EARLY2018" at checkout to receive 10% off!
Overnight $685.00
This camp is designed for experienced athletes that aspire to play college volleyball. We believe that the best college players are "generalized specialists" – players who are good at all skills but are also great at one or two skills. Campers will be taught the fundamental skills of the sport and will have an opportunity to practice and review those skills throughout the duration of the camp.
Each camper is evaluated on her volleyball skill level and athletic ability prior to being placed on a camp team. Camp teams will consist of setters, hitters, and defensive specialists/liberos with each camper receiving technical and tactical instruction specific to her role/position on the court. Our excellent camp staff will instruct campers, provide campers opportunities to apply their learning, and will give pertinent technical and tactical feedback. In addition to individual skill instruction, campers will have an opportunity to compete in a variety of drills and team competitions.
The camp schedule on full days consists of a morning, afternoon, and evening session (8:30am to 8:30pm). On check in day, the schedule will consist of an afternoon and evening session. On check out day there will be a morning and afternoon session. Check out is at 3:30pm at the same location as check in.

Virtual Reality 1.0 – The 90's
The Birth of Virtual Reality in the pages of CyberEdge Journal
Available from Amazon in print and Kindle editions. Click here to purchase.
Paperback ISBN: 978-1500893293
440 pages, 85 chapters, 88 illustrations, fully indexed
About this book
Thanks to Facebook's recent purchase of Oculus for $2 billion and the realses of headsets by HTC, Sony, Samsung, Google and others, , virtual reality (VR) is back in the news. But some people don't realize that Virtual Reality's roots go back to the 1960's, when the first head-mounted display of 3D computer graphics was accomplished by Ivan Sutherland. Virtual reality got its commercial start in the 1990s, with head-mounted displays talk of virtual drug trips, excitement about cybersex, and the potential to change everything from the way we cook to the way we educate our children. How much of that promise has really been realized?
Much of what we're seeing today, in the conversations about virtual-reality, online and in the press, are not much different from what we heard about 25 years ago. There's the same uninformed excitement, the same crazy promises, the same questions about the philosophy of virtual worlds, and many of the same technical difficulties existed in the 90s. It seems that today's VR pioneers don't know the history of virtual reality, and therefore, as Santyana predicted, are repeating it.
Thankfully, a new book has arrived on the bookshelves, to set the record straight. Titled Virtual Reality 1.0 – The 90's: the the birth of Virtual Reality in the pages of CyberEdge Journal, this book of over 400 pages provides the history that people are lacking, and shows the excitement of those times, presenting many of the applications, technology and people who created the virtual reality frenzy of the 1990s.
Author Ben Delaney was the publisher and editor of CyberEdge Journal. During its six-year existence. CyberEdge Journal was read in more than 40 countries and was the bible of virtual reality during the early and mid-90s. Delaney was a frequent contributor at conferences, on television and radio, and was cited by many publications around the world. Now he has pulled together some of the best of CyberEdge Journal and put it into one book so that people around the world will once again get the "no VR hype" truth about how virtual reality came to be in the 1990's.
Virtual Reality 1.0 starts with the version virtual-reality conference in San Francisco in 1990 and takes us through 1997 when CyberEdge Journal began its publication run. Along the way we meet the people who made virtual-reality so exciting including Timothy Leary, the LSD guru who found that advanced graphics technology could give him a trip without drugs. We hear Howard Rheingold talk about cybersex and the likeliness of it ever actually taking place. We see pictures of some of the early equipment and the people who invented it. And we learn that many of the questions that people are addressing today regarding some virtual-reality were actually first talked about in the early 90's, though many of the answers have yet to be found.
Virtual Reality 1.0 is a re-issue of Sex Drugs and Tessellation (2014) with minor edits. It was published in March 2017 in Kindle, full-format PDF, and large-format paperback. To receive more information, please click here.

30g corn flour
700ml whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Icing sugar, for dusting
200ml Grand Marnier
200ml Limoncello
Pastry Cone
Choux Pastry
- Pre heat oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas 4. Boil milk, water, salt and butter and remove from heat. Sieve flour and stirring with a wooden spoon. Put pan back on heat and stir until mixture comes away from the pan (2 mins).
- Add eggs one by one. Pipe choux paste on greaseproof lined tray. Bake for 25-30mins in batches – 6 batches to complete 150 mins.
Short Crust Pastry
- Sift the flour and salt, rubbing in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Make a well in the centre adding the sugar and the eggs, mixing well.
- Refrigerate until needed to firm up the pastry.
- Thinly as possible, roll out pastry for windmill arms and bake at 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas 4 until crisp.

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until they turn a pale blonde colour. Whisk in the flour and corn flour and set aside.
- Place the milk and vanilla syrup or vanilla bean paste in a heavy-bottomed saucepan; bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 30 seconds.
- Slowly pour half of the hot milk onto the egg mixture, whisking all the time, then return the mixture to the remaining milk in the pan. It is important to slowly pour the hot milk onto the cold eggs before you return the mixture to the pan to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- Bring the mixture back to the boil and simmer for one minute, whisking continuously, or until smooth. Divide into bowls and flavour with desired liquors.
- Pour the cream into a clean bowl and dust with icing sugar to prevent a skin forming. Cool as quickly as possible, by sitting the bowl of pastry cream in another larger bowl of ice water. When cooled, refrigerate until needed.

The New Zealand dollar rose to an eight-month high against the Aussie dollar and climbed against the greenback as iron ore prices continued to slide amid fears of a trade war sparked by US tariffs on steel and aluminium.
The kiwi dollar rose to A4.12c at 5pm from A93.70c on Friday in New York. The kiwi rose to US72.73c from US72.33c in New York while the trade-weighted index climbed to 74.64 from 74.33.
Iron ore prices have fallen to four-month lows, denting the Aussie as the currency of a major exporter, while dairy product futures have been relatively more resilient.
The kiwi has also been assisted by upbeat comments from Reserve Bank governor-designate Adrian Orr, who said at a briefing for the new policy targets agreement that he was "very, very pleased with the economic state of New Zealand over recent years".
The US dollar index sank to its lowest level in about a month.
"Adrian Orr said the economy is in a pretty healthy state," said Martin Rudings, a senior dealer at OMF. "That always works for people who are looking for something to buy."
By contrast, "there's too much global steel and iron ore just keeps getting sold. China has a lot of stockpiles", he said. Ultimately, "trade tariffs will slow global growth" and that has weighed on the kiwi, and left some investors "a little bit short kiwi".
Figures today showed New Zealand recorded a trade surplus of $217 million in February compared to a $42m deficit in February last year. Goods exports jumped 11 per cent, outpacing a 4.6 per cent gain for imports.
Milk powder, butter, and cheese shipments kept dairy products as the country's largest commodity export, with that category up 5.3 per cent to $1.095 billion.
Earlier, Orr and Finance Minister Grant Robertson held a joint briefing to announce the expanded PTA and proposed changes to the Reserve Bank Act that will put policy decisions in the hands of a committee.
The kiwi dollar rose to 51.33p from 51.14p in New York on Friday and gained to 58.77 euro cents from 58.56 cents. It rose to 4.5909 yuan from 4.5654 yuan and gained to 76.29 yen from 75.76 yen.
New Zealand's two-year swap rate rose 1 basis point to 2.23 per cent and the 10-year swap rate rose 2 basis points to 3.12 per cent.

A vital part of the Illuminati's one-world government conspiracy was the creation of communism, their supreme weapon to foment wars and terrorize people into accepting a one-world government.
We know that the Rothschild Illuminati financed and directed Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels to write 'Das Kapital' and 'The Communist Manifesto' in Soho England, destroying the idea that communism was a so-called ideology. We also know that Karl Marx was a full-blown Satanist, following the demonic Luciferian belief system of the Illuminati.
After the Napoleonic wars the 1st attempt to create a one-world government under the guise of the 'League of Nations' had failed because the Russian Czar saw through their deception. A century later they had made a 2nd attempt by creating a WWI and eliminating the Russian Czar. How did they do this?
Just like Adam Weishaupt and Albert Pike had concocted in their blueprints, the assassination of an Austrian archduke was the desired incident to start WWI. Within a few years all of Europe was in a state of complete destitution and everybody was crying for peace.
For the completion of the outcome, a one-world government, they needed the U.S. to join the European Allies. Exactly as scheduled the sinking of the Lusitania was used as an excuse. Part of the conspiracy was victory of the Allies, the defeated nations without leaders and their peoples confused and bewildered, perfectly conditioned for the one-world government conspiracy.
There was only one problem. There was still a Russian Czar. The solution to that problem was created long before the WWI: the Russian Bolsheviki, run by their leaders Nicolai Lenin, Leon Trostsky, and later Joseph Stalin.
Switzerland became the haven for Lenin where he prepared his moves, inspired by the works of Karl Marx, a devout Satanist. Trotsky was headquartered in New York. Trotsky was often seen at night at Jacob Schiff's palatial mansion. Then many nights there were gatherings of hoodlums, all Russian refugees, at Trotsky's headquarters, apparently receiving some form of training. Jacob Schiff (Rothschild) was financing all of Trotsky's activities.
Schiff also chartered a ship for Trotsky and some 300 of his trained hoodlums, to travel to Switzerland and meet with Lenin and a few high placed men like Colonel House, Rothschild, Warburg and Stalin, known as the Jesse James of the Ural. On that ship was also 20 million dollars in gold to finance the Bolshevik takeover of Russia. Then the Lenin-Trotsky band of terrorists were loaded into sealed freight cars and secretly entered Russia. The rest is history, the Russian revolution took place and all members of the royal Romanov family were murdered.
Nevertheless, the masterminds of this conspiracy realized that Bolshevism could never be sold as an ideology to the international world. So, in April 1918 Jacob Schiff dispatched colonel House to Moscow with orders to Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin to change the name of their regime to the Communist Party and to adopt the Karl Marx Manifesto as the constitution of the Communist Party. They obeyed to Schiff's orders and in 1918 the Communist party and the nightmare of communism came into being.
The scope of this article does not include how communism, created by capitalists, was ruthlessly implemented in Russia and later China, costing the lives of some estimated 200 million innocent people. I would love to refer you to the outstanding 5-part series on Communism from the guys of the Edge of Wonder, Ben and Rob. Even my husband, who grew up in communist Czechoslovakia and fled the country when the Russian tanks rolled into Prague , was impressed with the scope and details that he had never been aware of. Great job guys!
With the Russian czar out of the way it seemed that the plan of the conspirators worked perfectly. All great nations were war-weary and peace was the universal desire. So, when president Woodrow Wilson proposed to set up the League of Nations to ensure peace, all nations jumped on the band wagon without even reading fine print.
That is, all except one. The name of that great patriotic American was Henry Cabot Lodge, a highly respected and trusted senator in both houses of Congress. Henry Lodge completely unmasked Wilson and kept the United States out of the League of Nations.
Jacob Schiff, responsible for the Russian Revolution, the control of the American money system, placing stooges in important places of government, destroying American unity by creating minority strife and destroying Christianity, he had overlooked one vital part of the one-world government conspiracy: acquiring complete control of our mass communication media.
With a solid united American people, and no organized minority groups, or lefts or rights, and a loyal press whose only ideology was Americanism or the American way of life, Woodrow Wilson's appeal to the people to join the 'League of Nations fell on deaf ears.
So, the masterminds of the Illuminati conspiracy decided to reorganize and try from scratch again. But, by this time Jacob Schiff was old and slow. He knew that the conspiracy needed a new younger and more active generalship. So, on his orders Colonel House and Bernard Barouk organized and set up the Council on Foreign Relations., the new name under which the Illuminati would continue to function in the United States.
The CFR is composed principally of descendants of the original Illuminati. The membership of the CFR is approximately 1,000 in number and contains virtually every American industrial empire, like Rockefeller and Ford, and naturally all international bankers, including the heads of those tax-free foundations.
In short, all the men who provide the money and the influence to elect the CFR- chosen Presidents of the United States, Congress men and Senators, and head of every important federal agency, are all members of the CFR, and obedient they are.
To name a few presidents who were member of the CFR: Franklin Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, Dwight Eisenhower and Jack Kennedy and Richard Nixon.
Simultaneously the Rothschilds set up similar CFR-like control groups in England, France, Germany and other nations in order to control world conditions to bring about another world war, the 3rd attempt to create a one-world government.
But the foremost job of the CFR was to get complete control of the American mass communications media. The control of the press was assigned to Rockefeller who financed the set-up of magazines like Life, Time, Fortune and Look and the purchase of newspapers like the Washington Post. The control of Hollywood, radio and television was in the hands of Lehman, Goldman-Sachs, Kuhn-Loeb and the Warburgs.
Finally, with the CFR in place and a tight control of the mainstream media to brainwash and destroy the unity of the American people, the creation of a one-world order was one step closer. All they needed was another world war, one even more horrible and devastating than the WWI, so people would beg for peace and a means to end all wars; the one-world government trap.
Stay tuned…

Some Serious Leather-Love Is Happening Here At Dimples & Dragonflies! Y'all, I've Been Exploring A Few Techniques Leather Artists Employ While Creating Their Crafts, And I Think I'm Bringing Some Of My Own Style To The Table.
For Years As A Visual Artist I Enjoyed Color-Mixing...So In Trying To Achieve Something Different From Professionally-Cut Raw Leather, I Actually Hand Dyed This Particular Cuff - Using Combinations Of Three Separate Colors. I Really Think The Unity Of My Selections Produced A Sensational Result.
After Drying Overnight, I Waxed And Buffed The Entire Surface. I'm Lovin' The Soft Sheen. Muted To The Point Of Catching Just The Right Amount Of Reflection.
I Finished By Adding Two Button Closures For An Adjustable Fit. This Cuff Will Easily Extend From 6.1/2 - 7.1/2 Inches With A Simple Readjustment Of The Buttons.
Just Wanted To Share What I've Been Up To While Recuperating From Our Holiday Feast. ♥
Hope Every One Enjoyed A Beautiful Thanksgiving!!!

Armed Security at West Palm Beach Mall Shoots Warning Shots. Warning shots are not permitted by armed security in the State of Florida. There is a growing trend of improper trained security guards carrying firearms and providing armed security. The State of Florida Statewide Firearm Class G License requires students to attend 28 hours of training and a range qualification to qualify for the G License. Florida has arrested over a handful of instructors over the past year trying to crack down on fraudulent certification by crooked security schools and firearms instructors selling certifications. http://securitylicenseflorida.com/statewide-firearms-g-course
Security companies are hiring any officers who have a license without doing their due diligence to find out what schools or instructors they received their training from. Invictus is the top rated security academy in Florida and prepares our students to work in an armed capacity.

Good morning! Are you a meal planner? Meal planning for me is a huge time and money saver! If I don't have a plan for supper we end up scrambling and then usually eating out. As the kids get older, it isn't just a $40 or $50 meal anymore. It's closer to $100, if not more. That adds up really quickly. So we save that for special occasions or when the kids are away:) Like tonight!
I think I shared with you my menu planning chart a couple years ago but thought I'd share again. I love it! It helps that I made it pretty in MDS so it's not just a normal calendar:)
I have a friend who is so passionate about eating well and meal planning that she's started her own business – Meals Maven. I used her services when she first started and she thinks of everything from dietary concerns, likes and dislikes to nutrition. To top it off she even provided a detailed grocery list! Amazing!
She's doing a trade fair this weekend at the Lakeview Inn in Fort Saskatchewan (Sat. 10-5/Sun. 11-4). You should stop by and check out her table (#7). She's giving away a 2 week complete meal plan as one of her door prizes!
Here's a bit of information about Stacy and her business. I've included her contact information at the bottom.
Why Meals Maven?
Before we had kids, my husband and I lived in a small, hot apartment
with few fixed expenses. We got into the habit of eating out- a lot-
especially in the summer, when it was too hot to cook. I don't think we
were ever deluded into thinking that Wing Wednesday or Goody Day on
Fridays at work were actually good for us, but we didn't spend a lot of
time worrying about it either.
Then we moved to a house, became parents, and lost our second income.
Not only was eating out too expensive for us at that point, we knew that
a steady diet of fast food wouldn't do much for our child's health.
However, our first child was really picky, and I had to resort to hiding
extra vegetables in foods he already liked, and chickpeas in chocolate
chip cookies.
I am fortunate in that I was raised in a home with a mom who cooked, no
matter how tired she was or how little she felt like it. I grew up
learning valuable kitchen skills, so the transition into meal planning
and actual meal making wasn't that hard for me.
Over the years I've
grown very proficient at it. I love food, and I love sharing it with
people, so offering a meal planning service makes sense for me.
I also feel very passionate about eating real food as opposed to
processed products that resemble food. Most of the meals I make start
from scratch ingredients, as unprocessed as possible. I use my family as
a "test kitchen" on new recipes all the time, and many of those recipes
end up on the meal plans I prepare for people.
My husband and I take cooking courses each year, to expand our
repertoire of meals, and to compliment the skills we already share. I
also stay up to date on nutrition and health by researching current
trends and taking courses, both online and in-person. My present course
of study is on Childhood Nutrition, presented by the Stanford School of
Before I prepare meal plans for clients, I give them a questionnaire and
a calendar to fill out. This gives me insight into what kind of meal
plan they need. Anyone can come up with a list of foods and pop them on a
calendar, in fact you can find several meal plan suppliers online that
do just that, but I provide so much more. I take into account each
person's lifestyle, level of comfort in the kitchen, food preferences,
and dietary needs. My most popular meal plan package includes not only
the meals on your calendar, but also recipes, notes, links to online
recipes, and a weekly grocery list. I will even meet with local clients
if they prefer and we can prepare their meal plan together, so they can
learn the skills needed to continue to meal plan in the future.
If you're tired of eating out or not sure where to start when it comes
to cooking at home, I ask you to consider Meals Maven. You will be
amazed at how much meal planning can do for your life. From less stress
at dinner to money-saving every month, to more healthy food on the table
and more healthy minds and bodies in consequence.
I look forward to working with you! Get in touch today!

I highly recommend her services! Have a creative day!

Four 'naked civil servants' fired by RPA
'There have been incidents involving faeces'
The inquiry into reports of shenanigans at the Rural Payments Agency has resulted in four staff being booted out of their Newcastle jobs. A further five have received written and verbal warnings.
The controversy was sparked by reports of staff vaulting filing cabinets nude, which the investigation said were derived from a prank where staff took photos of each other for a colleague's leaving present. It compared the incident to a "student rag week" gag.
Allegations that staff hid vomit in the office in order to fester was borne out by investigators, with four cups of sick confirmed. The report also reveals: "There have been incidents involving faeces, female sanitary products and mucus deposited."
The agency said it would be tightening vigilance and reminding staff of appropriate conduct.
Regarding a series of other charges of misconduct, a statement said: "The inquiry examined the facts compared with initial reports resulting from leaks and concluded there was no evidence of naked leaping from filing cabinets, sex in the toilets, drug taking at work, or breakdance competitions."
RPA chief executive Tony Cooper said: "Staff at Newcastle and RPA offices across the country are hard-working and dedicated to performing a very important job for the farming industry."
The adverse publicity came at a inauspicious time for the DEFRA agency, which was struggling to deliver EU subsidies, with a backlog numbering in the thousands.
A spokesman for the agency told The Register the situation had improved since then and the remaining of out-of-pocket farmers were still "a cause for concern". ®

Who is luckiest in this whole orchestra? The reed.
Its mouth touches your lips to learn music.
All reeds, sugarcane especially, think only
of this chance. They sway in the canebrakes,
free in the many ways they dance.
Without you the instruments would die.
One sits close beside you. Another takes a long kiss.
The tambourine begs, "Touch my skin so I can be myself."
Let me feel you enter each limb bone by bone,
that what died last night can be whole today.
Why live some soberer way and feel you ebbing out?
I won't do it.
Either give me enough wine or leave me alone,
now that I know how it is
to be with you in a constant conversation.

As a New Hampshire business specializing in custom commemorative souvenirs, it is not only fitting that we were chosen, but is indeed, an honor.
The commissioned project involved working with organizers from the Concord Historical Society and members of a NH coin collectors association for their expertise in what makes a piece attractive to coin collectors.
Our design incorporates the elegant Concord, 250th Anniversary logo one one side of the coin and the historically significant image of the Concord Coach appearing on the flip side of the coin.
As told by the Concord, NH Historical Society, the first Concord stagecoach was built in 1827 by the Abbot-Downing Company in Concord, NH. Known for their unique, cushy suspension and quality, the coaches became popular with hotels for guest transport to and from train stations.
The legendary Mark Twain described his experience in a Concord Coach when writing about a trip west in the 1870 book, Roughing It:
"Our coach was a great swinging and swaying stage, of the most sumptuous description – an imposing cradle on wheels. It was drawn by six handsome horses, and by the side of the driver sat the 'conductor,' the legitimate captain of the craft; for it was his business to take charge and care of the mails, baggage, express matter, and passengers. We sat on the back seat, inside. About all the rest of the coach was full of mail bags – for we had three days' delayed mails with us… We changed horses every ten miles, all day long, and fairly flew over the hard, level road."
The Abbot-Downing Company went on to manufacture over forty different types of carriages and wagons at the factory in Concord, New Hampshire until 1915 when Wells Fargo, their biggest customer, purchased the name. That's right, the Concord Coach is THE stagecoach from their logo, which has become the enduring symbol of Wells Fargo.
These Concord 250th Anniversary commemorative coins, produced by Hampshire Pewter, capture the rich history and quality craftsmanship of the Concord Coach. The coins bear intrinsic appeal for coin collectors, as well as collectors and curators of Concord and New Hampshire memorabilia.

Why Review Websites are Essential
Review web pages are reliable web sources for essential information concerning the type of product you may want to buy. Numerous websites are providing detailed information about variable products or a line of products of the same nature. Moreover, some of these websites are elaborate enough to suffice your desire of buying what you want. Perhaps the only thing a consumer needs to do is locate reputable review websites to avoid misleading information. That being the case, below are some of the benefits that review websites offer.
First and foremost, review websites offer accurate information. Reviewers make it possible for consumers to get all the information they need by using the product for a couple of weeks before writing anything about it. The outcome of this is first-hand information about the product that you cannot go wrong using. Most reviewers focus on providing the pros and cons of their product as well as the extra features that most people do not know about. Imagine the amount of money you will save if the product is shoddy or even the best deals you can find just by listening to what the person says.
Review websites concentrate on directing their followers to stores offering the one-off deals. Most reviewers do this by listing the top budget shops in your area or on the internet were the product could be bought. According to their reasons, a product is only worth the buy if it satisfies the most important aspect, which is its cost. For that reason, their intention as people who are followed keenly by consumers is to offer reliable sources for great deals. In so doing, you will not have to spend time searching for the right online or offline store.
Like I said before, a good reviewer will always focus on all sides of the product including the good and the bad. The reviewer will also weigh the options to determine whether the pros are more than the cons or vice versa. He or she will after that provide a general view of whether the marked price for the product is commensurate with the features that come with it. In that case, if you read through the review, you will be able to determine whether the product is really what you want.
Review websites are above, and beyond an ordinary website, they are a source for all the information you need concerning your product. These websites go the extra mile to offer links to reputable stores in your area. Therefore, be careful with your search if you want comprehensive information regarding your product.

Spring is here in coastal Texas and that means tons to do. Does anyone else have this problem? Don't get me wrong, I loooove all this work and I feel very lucky I get to do it full time but this morning I made a list of all the things that need doing and found it very hard to know where to start.
Some big things have already been scratched off the list: the new chicken house got wheels and is now out in pasture (I'll do a post later about building the chicken house), the property got seeded with crimson clover and rye, seeds were started, fallow garden beds got amendments and fresh mulch and a lot of cleaning happened.
To Do List, Spring 2011:
- Fence lines need to be cleared
- New fence to be installed
- Old fences need some repair
- Gates need repair
- Build new beds in garden, planted with tomatoes, tomatillos, eggplant, hot peppers, ground cherry and cardboard mulched (every year the vegetable garden gets expanded)
- Winter crops out of old beds, spring crops or cover crops in
- Other vegetable beds need expanding and amending so I can plant corn, okra, winter squash, summer squash, and sweet peppers.
- Still other old bed needs to be cardboarded and mulched again so I can plant gourds.
- New trellis needs to be built and installed for cucumbers or beans
- Herb transplants go in everywhere
- More seeds need to be started

Walls of glass on every level look over the mill race,once used by Bancroft Mills,to the Brandywine River and the Falls giving the community it's name. On the other side of the Brandywine River is Alapocas Woods Park.It cointains over 400 acres and extends from the Brandywine River to beyond Route 202 giving privacy and views incomparable and difficult to believe within the City of Wilmington.A private courtyard allows entry to the home. Upon entering the home the entrance landing opens to a two story living/dining area looking out at the aforementioned views. A deck runs the length of this living space.To the right of the living area is the kitchen with a breakfast area exposed to views of the race, river, falls, and park. The laundry is located on the main level. Upstairs is a loft overlooking the living/dining area. There is a large main bedroom with bath and walk in closet. The dressing area has built in drawers. The main bedroom likewise has the views of the river and beyond with a balcony looking out to the river. There is an additional bedroom and guest bath on this level. On the lower level is a large open family room and office with, once again, views to the river and beyond. There is a patio running the length of the family room and office with large sliding doors to the patio. The owner opened the office to the family room. A third bedroom could easily be rebuilt in place of the office. On this level there is a full bath, walk in closet, and utility area. The decor of the home is neutral. Other amenities include built in cabinets in the loft adjacent to the fireplace, built in cabinets surrounding the living room fire place, and an entertainment area adjacent to the fireplace on the lower level.There is a wet bar on the main living level and another wet bar in the lower level with mini fridge and microwave. There is hard wood and tile on the main level. There is an attached two car garage. And perhaps most beneficial is an elevator to all three floors.The office can be easily changed back into a bedroom creating three full bedrooms.

One of Kenya's fastest growing banks, Jamii Bora Bank Limited (JBBL), and an African Vending Systems Company, Solo Payment Systems, have launched an agency relationship to enable JBBL to reach more of its customers across the country.
The relationship will see JBBL use Solo Agency's network through their automated kiosks located at strategic locations, such as; malls, retail stores and ATM lobbies.
Speaking at the launch, Jamii Bora Bank Chief Executive, Samuel Kimani, said the launch marked an important milestone in the bank's quest to expand its reach and grow its business.
"This agency relationship will enable our customers to make deposits at any one Point of Sale machine with us, through Solo Payment's machine network," said Kimani.
Vasily Rakou, the Managing Director of Solo Payment Solutions, stated that the company has a large agency network of over 198 kiosks located country wide with the major concentration being within Nairobi.
He added that Solo Payment's wide network of Point of Sale kiosks, makes them ideal partners with whom to avail deposit making services to the Bank's customers.
Vasily Rakou stated that Solo Payment would be responsible for providing and installing the POS Terminals. They would also support the Bank's efforts to promote service delivery through the use of POS Terminals in designated Agent's outlets.
"The POS Terminals are very efficient and would be very convenient for Jamii Bora's clientele as they will have 24/7 access to the Solo kiosks; including weekends and public holidays," stated Rakou, "Jamii Bora Bank will leverage on our vast network to reach their customers without needing to expand its own infrastructure hence cutting down on the cost of operations," added Rakou.
JBBL's Customers will be able to deposit funds from as low as Kshs. 100 to a maximum of Kshs. 1,000,000.
