There's still a bit of time to make something yummy for tomorrow! Well, ok, time is rather ticking away, but there's still time to rush out and buy some fruit and whipped cream! And then tomorrow you could mix up a batch of pancakes….layer them up and there you go, a fruit rainbow for St. Paddy's day! I saw this idea on Pinterest, but then when I started putting it together I realized that whatever was used in the photo was not pancakes (cookies I think). (P.S. I just found out that the idea was from i am baker! Yes, cookies, with an awesome cream cheese frosting!) So my pancakes were a bit floppy and the stack was leaning a bit….solved that with a straw right down the middle of the pile! The "fun" part is to layer your fruit in the order of the rainbow. If you don't remember that order, watch the fun little video at the end of this rainbow post, then you'll never forget again!
The fruits I used were red grapes, frozen blueberries (fresh ones would have looked more blue), kiwi, banana, orange and strawberries. So easy!
And then it was sliced up into four awesome slices….
Add each fruit in a blanket of whipped cream between layers of pancakes. Like I said, it was quite easy…..or would have been if this hadn't happened….
My mixer went crazy while I was getting a pancake out of the pan…when I looked over at it, a ring of cream was blobbing out of the bowl. What a goopy mess! But it didn't actually surprise me….that's how I usually cook….messy…. 😉
Anyways, to cheer myself up, I love to watch this video for St. Patrick's Day! An 8 minute account of St. Patrick's life for the kids….even with flannel boards!

OAKLAND — After the fatal shootings of four Oakland police officers March 21, a group called the Calguns Foundation wanted to know what kind of guns — exactly — Lovelle Mixon used when he killed the officers.
That question is now at the center of a legal struggle between the Redwood City-based gun-rights organization and the city of Oakland, with Calguns saying the public has a right to know what kind of weapons were used and the city arguing that the information it could hinder an ongoing police investigation into how Mixon, who was a wanted parolee when he went on his killing rampage, got his weapons.
One reason Calguns is pursuing the case is that shortly after the March 21 tragedy, legislation was introduced by state Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley, calling for additional restrictions on ammunition magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds. Lawmakers cited the officers' deaths in pushing for the legislation.
Calguns maintains that without additional information, it is impossible to tell whether the weapons in question — a semi-automatic pistol and an SKS rifle — had magazines with more than 10 rounds.
"This terrible event, with Lovelle Mixon killing the four officers, was apparently used as a springboard for (the proposed legislation)," said Kevin Thomason, an attorney for Calguns. "If they weren't in fact high-capacity magazines, the public has a right to know this potential law is based on erroneous information."
The bill, introduced in April, would require owners to register ammunition magazines capable of containing 10 or more rounds. The bill was sent to the Senate Public Safety Committee, where a hearing was canceled at Hancock's request.
"We were hearing that law enforcement organizations were going to oppose it and that the attorney general's office had concerns about cost. There were some concerns raised about how to stamp all the magazines with serial numbers that were already legally possessed," said Hans Hemann, Hancock's chief of staff. "We are seeing if we can address some of those issues over the fall and will decide what we do with the bill in December."
The bill aside, the city argues that it has complied with a California Public Records Act request from Calguns by providing general descriptions of the guns as a "semi-automatic pistol" and "an assault-type rifle." Any further description, the city asserts, could hinder the investigation.
"Giving a gun or selling a gun to a parolee is a federal crime," said Mark Morodomi, the attorney working the case for City Attorney John Russo's office. "We can't do anything that would prejudice that investigation."
Calguns disagrees that the investigation would be hampered.
A judge sided with the city after Calguns filed an initial petition but allowed the group to amend their filing. A new petition was filed Sept. 10. The city has 30 days to reply.
Chief's contract
A contract for Anthony Batts, whom Mayor Ron Dellums tapped last month to be Oakland's next police chief, is up for approval Tuesday and would include $33,261 per year in educational incentive pay on top of a base salary of $221,739.
The extra pay is consistent with the contract between the city and the Oakland Police Officers Association's management bargaining unit, according to a city staff report. That deal provides an additional 5 percent of base salary for a bachelor's degree, master's degree and Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training management certificate — each of which Batts has. He also has a doctorate in public administration.
Overall, Batts would be paid $255,000 annually. His contract would last three years.
In an interview with the Tribune this week, Batts said he was ready to get started in Oakland. He said he is taking on a "huge challenge" by accepting the Oakland police chief job, regarded as one of the toughest in law enforcement.
"I'm not afraid of failing at this," he said. "I'm going to go in here and do the very best that I can. I'm going to give my heart, and I'm going to give my soul to it."
Batts has been police chief in Long Beach since 2002.
Also Tuesday "…
The council is expected to vote on a $1.5 million settlement with the family of Gary King Jr., who was killed in September 2007 by an Oakland police officer. In addition, the council could roll back parking-meter enforcement hours from 8 p.m. to 6 p.m. after significant public outcry.
The council's first full meeting since its summer recess will begin at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 1 Frank Ogawa Plaza.

Odyssey 2050 the movie
Costa Rica ranks amongst the top 10 ethical travel destinations in the world
Every year Ethical Traveler conducts a study of developing nations, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, to identify the best tourism destinations among them. They begin their research by focusing on three general categories: Environmental Protection, Social Welfare, and Human Rights. For each of these categories, they look at information past and present so that they understand not only the current state of a country, but how it has changed over time. This helps them select countries that are actively improving the state of their people, government, and environment.
In the first phase of the process, they consider country scores from a variety of databases related to one of the three categories, using information from sources like Freedom House, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and the World Bank. After identifying the top performers, they turn to detailed case research, focusing on actions governments have taken over the year to improve (or in some cases, weaken) practices and circumstances in the countries.

Pocho, Costa Rica's most famous crocodile, dies
Costa Rica's only celebrity crocodile, Pocho has died, with his funeral attracting hundreds of mourners from his home town.
Pocho was the larger half of a double act with 54-year-old Gilberto Shedden who performed daring stunts with the 15 foot crocodile helping to put the Carribean town of Siquirres on the map.
For eight years Shedden dazzed tourists and locals with his shows for for eight years. The performer would pretend to wrestle with the huge reptile and even cuddle and kiss it.
Online videos of the pair went viral, making the fisherman and his 60 year-old reptilian friend international stars.
People lined the streets of the small pineapple and banana farming town to pay their respects to the funeral cortege of the 450 kilo animal, thought to be the first crocodile ever accorded the honour in Costa Rica.
Gilberto Shedden who was the animal's owner and co-star said said he would miss Pocho terribly.
But Pocho will still be drawing visitors after his death, his cadaver is to be embalmed and put on display in a local museum.

National Pejibaye Festival, Costa Rica
Every October the sleepy village of Tucurrique comes alive with thousands of visitors to celebrate the National Pejibaye Festival. Spanning two weekends, the event honors the town's regional specialty – pejibaye, or peach palm fruit.
A unique fruit that tastes like a cross between a baked potato and roasted chestnuts, the pejibaye is yellowish-orange to red in color, and is always boiled before consumption. Delicious even when served plain, the pejibaye is often crowned with a dollop of sour cream or mayonnaise.
At the Pejibaye Festival, the hosts prepare this delicacy in many different ways. You'll be able to try creamy bisque, cakes and breads, sugar cane treats, drinks, and even homemade liquor – all made from pejibaye.
In between mouthwatering goodies, guests can enjoy the festival's other attractions. An adjacent farm gives pejibaye tours on traditional oxcarts or tractors that detail peach palm cultivation and production. Another favorite is shopping artisan and bakery stands, run by locals who sell their handicrafts and typical foods.The festival also promises a wide range of events, including parades, folkloric dancing, fireworks, contests, rodeos and horseback rides. Live music is always a staple and tunes range from steel band cimarronas to modern favorites like salsa and cumbia. The annual festival is held downtown at the Centro Agricola Cantonal de Tucurrique, located on the outskirts of Turrialba.

Which Coast to visit in Costa Rica - Pacific or Atlantic
A common question when vacationing in Costa Rica is which coast to visit. Flanked by the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the country offers more than 800 miles of gorgeous coastline, and each beach town has its own perks and appeal. Your accommodation needs, time of visit, and activity preferences will help narrow down which region to visit; or if you have ample time, plan to explore both the Caribbean and Pacific sides. While you can book just about any adventure tour on both coasts, the climate, beaches, amenities and general ambiance vary greatly between the two.
Pacific Coast
Overview: Home to Costa Rica's most touristed beach towns, Costa Rica's Pacific coast is the more popular choice for most travelers. Beach communities like Jaco, Manuel Antonio, Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal have modern infrastructure, upscale hotels and resorts, and easy access to high-speed Internet. The northern Guanacaste region is the most developed region on this coast, and in addition to plenty of other travelers, you'll encounter a large expat population, ethnic restaurants, and a slew of stunning beaches that vary from pink to white to cocoa-colored sands. The cultural ambience is purely "Tico," or Costa Rican, and many locals speak English quite well. If you're interested in spectacular sunset views, the Pacific coast is for you.
Most Popular Towns: Manuel Antonio, Jaco, Montezuma, Samara, Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal and Papagayo.
Best Swimming Beaches: For the tamest waves, head to Manuel Antonio, Playa Carillo, Playa Langosta, Samara or Conchal.
Caters To: The bulk of Pacific coast beach towns cater to families with children, honeymooners, nature lovers, and travelers looking for upscale or all-inclusive resorts. Business travelers typically find the amenities and services better on the Pacific coast. The remote Osa Peninsula offers more rustic accommodations and is frequented by backpackers, and wildlife enthusiasts eager to get off the tourist trail.
Weather: Generally speaking, the Pacific coast -- especially Guanacaste province-- is drier than the Caribbean. The rainy season runs from May through October, with the rainiest months being June, September and October. Daytime temperatures hover around 89°-96°F, with an average of ten hours of sunshine during the dry season.
Caribbean Coast
Known for its laid-back vibe and distinctive Afro-Caribbean culture, the Caribbean coast sees fewer tourists than the Pacific, but hosts some of the country's most idyllic black sand beaches. Luxury accommodations do exist, but this side of the country is focused more on ecotourism, nature and beachfront living. The infrastructure is minimal in many areas; pot-holed dirt roads are the norm, but villages like Cahuita, Puerto Viejo and Tortuguero still draw thousands of tourists each year. Wildlife watching and turtle tours are Tortuguero's main highlights, while big waves and deserted beaches lure visitors to the southern Caribbean coast. This side of the country has an entirely different feel than the Pacific, from the prevalent Jamaican cuisine and music, to the provincial, small-town feel in each village.
Most Popular Towns: Tortuguero, though only visited for canal tours and wildlife watching, as its dark sand beaches have strong riptides and aren't good for swimming. Cahuita, Puerto Viejo, Cocles, Punta Uva and Manzanillo offer secluded spots for beach-side picnics, and the waves at Salsa Brava can't be beat for seasoned surfers.
Best Swimming Beaches: This coast has stronger currents and notorious riptides, so always look for areas that are marked safe for swimming. Cahuita's Playa Negra, portions of Playa Cocles, Playa Chiquita, and Manzanillo have gentle waves.
Caters To: Backpackers, budget travelers, culture aficionados, and visitors looking for a unique, laid-back vacation destination. While four-star hotels do exist, they're few and far between, and most visitors prefer to spend their extra funds on splash-out Caribbean meals or adventure tours.Weather: Though the Caribbean is more humid than the Pacific coast, temperatures are bit milder, ranging from 77 to 89°F year-round. This coast has an entirely different weather pattern, as its driest months occur February-March and September-October. If your vacation dates fall between September and October, which is the rest of the country's rainy season, a trip to the Caribbean might be your best option

Z Budapest is the foremother of the Dianic Wiccan movement and the Susan B. Anthony Coven #1.
Z's Manifesto is considered to be the writing that began the Dianic (Wiccan) Tradition.
Z Budapest is our foremother. The Dianic tradition itself began with what she penned on a restaurant napkin with her original members of the Susan B. Anthony Coven #1.
Politics of Women's Religion
Manifesto of the Susan B. Anthony Coven No. 1
from The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries
by Z Budapest
We believe that feminist witches are women who search within themselves for the female principle of the universe and who relate as daughters to the Creatrix.
We believe that, just as it is time to fight for the right to control our bodies, it is also time to fight for our sweet woman souls.
We believe that in order to fight and win a revolution that will stretch for generations into the future, we must find reliable ways to replenish our energies. We believe that without a secure grounding in women's spiritual strength, there will be no victory for us.
We believe that we are part of a changing universal consciousness that has long been feared and prophesied by the patriarchs.
We believe that Goddess-consciousness gave humanity a workable, long-lasting, peaceful period during which Earth was treated as Mother and women were treated as Her priestesses.
We believe that women lost supremacy through the aggressions of males who were exiled from the matriarchies, and formed the patriarchal hordes responsible for the invention of rape and the subjugation of women.
We believe that the female control of death principle yields human evolution.
We are committed to living life lovingly toward ourselves and our sisters.
We are committed to joy, self-love, and life affirmation.
We are committed to winning, to surviving, to struggling against patriarchal oppression.
We are committed to defending our interests and those of our sisters through the knowledge of witchcraft: to blessing, to cursing, to healing, and to binding with power rooted in woman-identified wisdom.
We are opposed to attacking the innocent.
We are equally committed to political, communal, and personal solutions.
We are committed to teaching women how to organize themselves as witches and to sharing our traditions with women.
We are opposed to teaching our magic and our craft to men until the equality of the sexes is a reality. We teach Pan workshops today and work together with men who have changed themselves into brothers.
Our immediate goal is to congregate with each other according to our ancient women-made laws and to remember our past, renew our powers, and affirm our Goddess of the Ten Thousand Names.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has issued the warning letter to the domestic drug maker for non-compliance of good manufacturing norms at Unit II of its Visakhapatnam facility.
The unit produces active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), raw materials used for producing medicines.
"Your quality system does not adequately ensure the accuracy and integrity of data to support the safety, effectiveness, and quality of the drugs you manufacture," the USFDA said in its letter to company director and president of operations Kiran S Divi.
The letter, which was issued after USFDA investigators inspected the company's Unit II at Visakhapatnam from November 29 to December 6, 2016, said there was "failure to prevent unauthorised access or changes to data and failure to provide adequate controls to prevent manipulation and omission of data".
It further said methods, facilities, or controls for manufacturing, processing, packing or holding at the facility did not conform to CGMP and therefore the "APIs are adulterated within the meaning of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act".
There was "failure to ensure that test procedures are scientifically sound and appropriate to ensure that your (company's) API conform to established standards of quality and/or purity", the letter said.
The USFDA also said the company gave only limited access to its investigators, which also counted as violation of norms.
While acknowledging that it had reviewed responses of the company in detail, the USFDA asked Divi's Labs to provide a comprehensive investigation into the extent of inaccuracies in data records and reporting.
The regulator also asked for a current risk assessment of the potential effects of the observed failures on the quality of drugs.
"Your assessment should include analyses of the risks to patients caused by the release of drugs affected by a lapse of data integrity, and risks posed by ongoing operations," the letter said.
The regulator asked Divi's Labs to provide a management strategy for the firm that includes the details of its global corrective action and preventive action plan.
"Until you correct all deviations completely and we confirm your compliance with CGMP, FDA may withhold approval of any new applications or supplements listing your firm as a drug manufacturer," the letter said.
Failure to correct these deviations may also result in FDA continuing to refuse admission of articles manufactured at the Unit II at Visakhapatnam into the US, it said.

text: DigitalFacebook Proposes Broad Updates To Governing Docs — Our AnalysisBy Eric Eldon|March 26, 2010 ShareBy Eric Eldon|March 26, 2010 Share Facebook is proposing a broad range of updates to its governing documents, the company announced today. It's a complex combination of simple clarifications and significant changes.The updates could impact everything from the company's pending location service, to developers and advertisers on the platform, to how users can represent themselves and interact with each other on the site, to how third parties can obtain user data without explicit permission. The last point is perhaps the most interesting.But first, some important information to take note of.Facebook has been trying to give users more clarity around its various terms of service, and this is its latest effort on that front. The company says users will have around seven days from now to provide feedback — until 12:00am Pacific Time on April 3, 2010.We should also note that the changes today, to its Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and its Privacy Policy, now include red-lined versions to help people easily see any alterations. This was a heavily requested feature from people who care about these terms. Links to the documents here.Also, the changes are meant to help prepare users and the company for future launches, as it says "not all of these products have been finalized and many aren't yet built at all." Many of the possible launches, though, are likely come at its f8 developer conference happening on April 21.Now, here's our look at what appear to be the most significant differences in the documents, in the order they appear in each document. We're passing over the smaller changes and most of the clarifications, but be sure to check out the red-lined version for yourself, if you're interested in every detail.Statement of Rights and ResponsibilitiesFor clarity, we're putting new text in italics, using the proposed version of each document.4. Registration and Account Security 2. You will not create more than one personal profile. 3. If we disable your account, you will not create another one without our permission. Analysis: Lots of users have more than one account, whether to establish a private versus more public identity, or because they want an extra one to play games with, or whatever other reason. Facebook doesn't want this happening, though, because it wants a single user identity to accurately reflect all of the person's real-world relationships. Also, the latter line suggests Facebook wants to make its right to keep people off the site even more obvious.5. Protecting Other People's Rights 9. You will not tag users or send email invitations to non‐users without their consent.Analysis: It's hard to see how Facebook can enforce the fact that a user has obtained consent before tagging someone or inviting them to Facebook or to an application on the site. But it's interesting that the company added "tag users" here, anyway, because the European Union is currently looking into privacy practices among web companies including Facebook.One result, for example, is an article like this one from the Associated Press: "You have been tagged in 12 photos. Even if you're not signed up to the Web site." The lede obviously refers to the fact that Facebook users can tag people in photos who are not on Facebook, and notify those people via email that they've been tagged — one of the EU's concerns. Whatever happens with the EU, Facebook appears to be making a pre-emptive move on the photo-tagging example by using its terms to put the responsibility on users when they use the feature.6. Mobile 3. You provide all rights necessary to enable users to sync (including through an application) their contact lists with any basic information and contact information that is visible to them on Facebook, as well as your name and profile picture.Continue ReadingPages: 1 2 3 4 Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kascS3 copy Adweek Adweek

New York—Shares of Coach slid in trading today after the leathergoods brand reported a 20% drop in its third quarter income—and a 21% fall in its North American comp sales.
For the quarter ended March 29, Coach posted net income of $190.7 million, or 68 cents a share, compared with $238.9 million, or 84 cents a share, a year earlier. That still managed to beat analysts' average estimate for 63 cents a share.
Net revenue declined 7% to $1.1 billion from $1.19 billion a year ago, missing analysts' view of $1.13 billion.
What seemed to worry Wall Street, however, the fourth consecutive quarter of sales declines in North America. This time sales were down 18% to $648 million with comparable store sales decrease of 21% in its direct division. That was a steeper fall than analysts projected and worse than the 14% drop during the holiday quarter. And a warning from Coach that sales in its current quarter might also be down sent the stock to a nine-month low.
Sales in Current Quarter to Fall Too?
Faced with increased competition and reduced market share from rivals such as Michael Kors and Kate Spade, Coach has been working to polish its image, such as its first-ever New York Fashion Week presentation in February and touting the inaugural collection by its new executive creative director Stuart Vevers.
"During the third quarter, total sales declined as weakness in our North American women's bag and accessories business continued to offset strong growth in men's, footwear, and robust sales gains in Asian markets and Europe," said CEO Victor Luis. "Our business in North America remained challenging in the period, exacerbated by the weather and shift of the Easter holiday. We experienced sharply lower traffic levels in our stores while our Internet results were impacted by our strategic decisions to eliminate third party events, as well as limit the access and invitations to our factory flash site."
Luis pointed out, however, that the company's results in China grew more than 25% "and comparable store sales rising at a double-digit rate."
Indeed, international sales were a bright spot: rising14% to $441 million (on a constant currency basis sales grew 20%).
During the quarter, gross profit totaled $781 million compared to $880 million a year ago. Gross margin was 71.1% versus 74.1% reported in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses were down to $519 million from $532 million a year ago and comprised 47.2% of net sales compared to 44.8% in the year-ago quarter.
In a conference call with analysts, Chief Financial Officer Jane Nielsen said North American comparable store sales will fall as much in the quarter through June as they did in the third quarter. She also said the company stopped buying back shares after spending $525 million so far this year, less than the $700 million it planned on spending in that timeframe, and will retain that cash to invest in the business.
Luis has been on a mission to turn Coach from merely leathergoods into a wider brand with a "full array of shoes, outerwear and other accessories."
"We have made continued progress this quarter in our work to transform the Coach brand across all aspects of the consumer experience–product, stores and marketing," Luis said. "We've also announced a partnership with Studio Sofield to further evolve our lifestyle store concept. Finally, the editorial coming out of Fashion Week provides a springboard for our marketing campaign for fall, in support of the new collection."

Honey Whole Wheat Bread
From Heritage Home~Place
What makes our Honey Whole Wheat Bread Sooo Delicious?
Well, for starters we mill the flour from chemical-free whole wheat berries.
I always, like to tease that we use a stone and grind away.
But, of course that's just a funny ha-ha.
We use a Nutrimill that is incredible for the job of milling our flour right
before we make the dough.
We also use local, unprocessed honey in our recipe.
In fact, all of our ingredients are fresh! Which is a great start for
a wonderfully fresh baked loaf of bread.
We get all of our bread baking ingredients at a local market called:
Another awesome piece of equipment that I love is my
Bosch Mixer. The Bosch will knead about six loaves of bread dough at a time!
It was almost impossible for me to knead that amount of dough by hand.
Now, at the press of a button, I get beautiful, soft dough ready for the oven
in less than 30 minutes! By the way, you can own a Nutrimill
and a Bosch Mixer!
My friends at Sweet Sisters Bakery (mentioned above) will be happy
to order yours for you! It is an awesome kitchen appliance!
I bought a new one last year and gave my old Bosch Mixer to my oldest son.
Yes, even he learned how to make bread!
Our Honey Whole Wheat Bread and Varieties can be purchased in my
little space in the Iron Horse Primitives ~ Home of the Country Cottage Chics!
Bread Orders are Welcomed!

Update: Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) office issued a detailed defense of his threats to "tie the Senate in knots" and block all of Obama nominations over $50,000 left out of last week's 11th-hour budget deal for a study on deepening the Port of Charleston.
For critics who said the state should come up with its own funds for the Army Corp of Engineers' study to deepen the port, Graham spokesman Kevin Bishop said such an easy solution is actually impossible under federal law.
The South Carolina State Ports Authority, which is responsible for operations of the Charleston Port, is ready to write the check for the state's share of the the study, but federal law requires Congress to cough up funds to enable the Army Corp of Engineers to move forward with the study. It would be the second step in the process; a first study already determined a federal interest in deepening the harbor.
"The Corps requires virtually all ports around the country to shoulder some of the costs of feasibility studies, engineering, and design on harbor deepening," Bishop said. "South Carolina is ready to go. Now we're waiting on the feds to kick in their share. Without that green light, our state is stuck in neutral and cannot proceed."
Not all Republicans were celebrating Tuesday about the fine print of the $38.5 billion in cuts House Republicans managed to wrangle in last week's 11th-hour budget showdown. Tea Party loyalists who wanted tens of billions more cut from this year's spending were shaking their heads, and at least one senator was lamenting a budget omission he said would hit his state's economy hard.
In fact, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was down right incensed over the decision not to include a mere $50,000 for an Army Corps of Engineers study on deepening the Port of Charleston in his home state and vowed to "tie the Senate in knots" by holding up Obama administration nominations.Graham started a string of angry tweets about the omission early Tuesday. By the end of the day, he had held a press conference on the issue in Charleston, S.C., and was blaming the Obama administration for failing to include the funding in its budget proposal released in February, arguing that 260,000 jobs are tied to the port.
"Obama Admin made a bad mistake not putting money for CHS port in their budget proposal," he wrote.
"No nominations go forward in Senate until we address CHS port," he tweeted, noting that the provision was not an earmark and applied to a dozen ports across the U.S.
"The squeaky wheel seems to get the oil," he said at a press conference where he was joined by Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC), the GreenvilleOnline reported.
Graham has made deepening the port one of his top local priorities, arguing that South Carolina's economic future hinges on the viability of the port, which would get bogged down by the expansion of the Panama Canal in 2014. The Panama Canal expansion is expected to double and triple cargo loads.
To support heavier ships, Graham has said Charleston Harbor needs to be deepened from 46 feet to 50 feet, a $350 million project over six or seven years, South Carolina's Independent Mail reported.
"I'd rather lose my job than lose the port," Graham said in a speech in early April at Tri-County Technical College.

Checking the Score is a feature about video game music, composers, musicians and tools of the trade.
An area I touched upon less so than others in my review of Gravity Rush 2 was its music. Don't get me wrong, my avoidance on covering that area was not by way of some middling and/or mediocre discovery; nor was it an aspect I felt didn't add to the all-round experience of what is still — despite my rather lower-than-average consensus — a good game. 3.5/5 ≠ bad folks, no matter how much [some] people might think so. Call it a recognition of a deserved spot…or call it desperation by way of a need to cover a game released in January (of which there are quite a few, just notably on the horizon in the latter half of the month).
Whichever way you look at it, the music of the original Gravity Rush sparked the kind of joyous, investigative discovery that often reflected the hallmarks of the game's main protagonist, Kat, in terms of her personality. Positive, upbeat, focused even in the more perilous of situations; it's a stance the soundtrack of Gravity Rush 2 continues on with, encompassed by its lively mix of blues and jazz alike. Ensuring that at the heart of its production, when tackling the perilous job of audibly describing in-game regions and locales, that the discovery of a new locale holds many of the same initial reactions as visiting a new city/country/continent in real-life.
On visuals alone, Gravity Rush 2 takes from many social cultures and geographic placements based on real-life locations on a global level. Be it South America, Asia, even Anglo-speaking cities with their towering buildings with industrial leanings, the game's music matches the visual change with differing uses of rhythm, melody and phrasing to perhaps further elaborate on developers Japan Studio/Project Siren's broadening of visual influence. Hekseville in the previous game was by no means a stale or otherwise stagnant location and even if Gravity Rush didn't quite throw up Super Mario levels of conflicting settings — no grass, desert, ice, fire sequencing here — its soundtrack made what was a handheld-limited scale, on a structural front, feel just that bit more inviting and aesthetically alive.
The sequel, now on better hardware, increases that musically as well as graphically by managing to fuse a wide assortment of musical identities in, as previously noted, with the common thread that the player — like Kat — is experiencing a new journey of exploration and curious adventuring. Because of this, the soundtrack is aimed at exemplifying the player-character more so than the locales themselves. The best example is the theme to Lei Havina (or the Old Settlement as it's nicknamed in brackets). The location itself, which physically resides at one of the more higher points in the sky and is also the most grandiose and possibly tranquil (a blatant reference to the particular class of people who live/reside in this part of the World), would have you think some manner of extravagant, perhaps pompous classical music plays upon navigating such a place.
When in fact, the music — though still but a equivocal response to one's/Kat's state of mind — instead decides to tackle the feat of musically scoring the setting without any sign of prejudice or otherwise antagonistic bias. Unlike character themes in general, which can often reflect a character's actions or past history rather than their state of mind at present, it's clear the game's lead composer Kohei Tanaka wants to instil a non-partisan, neutral mind-set on how both we and Kat perceive the many societies of Gravity Rush 2 from a narrative stand-point. Without giving too much away or indeed spoiling anything plot-wise, there's a reason for this lack of reliance on dynamics or timbre within the melodies comprising each locale's theme. Even the main battle theme remains idealistically constrained within its palette of piano and brass instrumentation.
Even at its most extreme, when a set-piece crops up or a major turning point in the story unfolds, there's no sudden bombast or orchestral high to inject some artificial manner of adrenaline into proceedings. Instead, the music seems to better reflect the unpredictable, but not uncontrollable, scene unfolding. Tanaka's work on anime may well be the reason why Gravity Rush 2's playful expression of sound – particularly the way percussion and guitar blend in with the jazz elements – does so well at adapting to the scenario without shamelessly relying on bombastic, musical tropes. Gravity Rush 2 does well like it can fit right at home as a pure animation piece rather than a full interactive game and that's in no way some criticism of an equally fictitious accusation of the game being cinematic or…bluntly…not a game. Gameplay alone certainly alleviates any concern people might have.
Like video games, anime can often try to carve out particular musical feats that have no place in the current situation on show and while the game too is not without a solemn piano piece here and there, my point is that Tanaka and co want this to be a game, as much a soundtrack, that draws on personal feeling rather than visual spectacle. There are notable grandiose moments and points in the game that are as far as subtle as one can get, but the music doesn't deviate — be it instrumentally or indeed emotionally — from the primary drive of being one of narrative. Of Kat's journey, as much the player, in this strange new World with new challenges and new struggles yet familiar all the same.
It's a game, as much a soundtrack, that is indeed a follow-on from what players experienced in the original entry, but Gravity Rush 2's refusal to introduce a greater amount of different ideas, at the risk of becoming bloated with such potential conflict, actually keeps the experience (ironic as this may sound) grounded throughout. As a result, sticking to my review as I will, one of Gravity Rush 2's hidden strengths will indeed be its music as much its gameplay mechanics. Not because of its choice of instruments and the usage of said instruments, but how it more so seldom gets carried away with the spectacle presented to us at any given time, even at its most extravagant. The music instead homes in on the thought process and rallying of emotions likely heralded by Kat herself as indeed the player too at the point of some new revelation or unveiling of a new big-bad. Because of this, this story-led transitioning of sound allows the soundtrack to be both optimistic yet illustrative at the same time. It's music that drives you onward but peaks your curiosity and that's exactly what a game of this structural and aesthetical intent should follow.

text: This is completely based on my own theory. Hi guys, Some simple things i noticed which improves the performance. 1st of all Ace has to be rooted. 1. Increase/decrease your Heap size, its the maximum memory that can be allotted to a single program. I'm using V2.3.4 and was surprised to see this was set to 64mb :O Since we have a HUGE!(sarcastic) ram of 278mb allocating such heap size of 64mb will makes apps consume more memory, and fill up RAM unnecessarily, hence degrading performance. i suggest using 32mb heap size, you may also prefer using 24mb which is android default. 2. Reducing the amount of FREE SPACE in RAM Android has a setting which maintains least amount of free space in memory. By default it is 60mb, which means every time RAM usage increases up to 214mb- 218mb, garbage collector closes running applications to free up RAM. Soooooo, i think 60mb is too much for such a small RAM, i decreased it to 25mb. Logic behind "why to keep the RAM empty" the more cache in RAM means better loading of apps, also this will less frequently invoke Garbage collector. 3. Increasing Minimum CPU Frequency. If you carry your charger everywhere on earth you go, you can set your MIN CPU to 600Mhz or 800Mhz and set it at performance mode. This will eat your battery like me eating peanut butter I didn't mention tools above cause i wanted you all to read it completely Go to market download these tools 1. spare parts+ 2. blade buddy 3. ROM manager 4. Advanced tools I suggest doing only these above settings as it can seriously crash your phone(yesterday only re-installed my ROM, as i was guilty of playing with these tools) Suggestions are welcome. And thanks button is next to your cursor on its right hand side!

Migraines are fairly common and is the third most prevalent illness in the world. They are a more severe form of tension headache and cause a level of pain that can sometimes be debilitating, preventing sufferers from doing anything other than lie in bed for hours. Unfortunately, over the counter pain medication for migraines is often ineffective, but thankfully there are alternative methods available to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. Chiropractic care has been proven effective for successfully treating migraine pain in a number of clinical trials. If you are unhappy with the pain relief you are receiving from your current medication, or if you are afraid of potential side effects, you will want to give chiropractic care for migraines a try.
What does a chiropractor do?
Chiropractors are trained professionals specializing in the use of spinal manipulation therapy; in this form of therapy, they gently manipulate your bones, muscles and joints. It has been proven effective for many forms of chronic pain, including migraine headaches, and carries a low risk of side effects. In addition, chiropractors can instruct you on many forms of self-care you can do outside the chiropractor's office, such as gentle stretching exercises, in order to increase the effectiveness of your chiropractic care.
How Effective Is Chiropractic Care For Migraines?
One study from the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics has found that spinal manipulation therapy is as effective as a common prescription drug for treating migraine headaches in reducing the frequency of migraine attacks and the severity of pain during the attacks. Participants were asked in a follow-up study after the main phase of the trial was concluded how their migraine episodes had progressed, and participants that received chiropractic care for migraines had less episodes than those taking medication. In another systemic review from the same peer-reviewed journal, researchers examined the statistical data and reviewed the conclusions of nine different clinical studies comparing the effectiveness of spinal manipulation therapy to various prescription drugs used to treat migraines, along with other alternative medicine therapies, and reached the same conclusion. Additionally, participants receiving spinal manipulation therapy suffered fewer side effects compared to participants taking medication.
With the clear evidence in favor of the effectiveness of chiropractic care for migraines, it's definitely an avenue to consider for treatment of pain related to your chronic migraines. As with any medical treatment, ask your chiropractor about possible contraindications for care, such as osteoporosis, arthritis and nerve damage. If you are pregnant, you should seek the advice of your obstetrician before beginning care. Reducing the frequency and intensity of your migraine episodes, along with potential side effects of migraine medication, can definitely increase the quality of your live and aid you in living pain-free.

With MYOB Atlas' simple email forwarding feature, you'll be able to present a professional image to your customers with personalised email addresses. Create email addresses that match your domain name-for example, if your domain name is bluebowlhomewares.com, you could create the email address email@example.com. When your customers email your new addresses, the emails will be automatically forwarded to an email account of your choice (for example, a Gmail account).
Don't have a domain name? To set up email forwarding, you first need to have a domain name. Or, you can choose to link an existing domain name to your website instead (making sure you choose one of the two I want to create email addresses options when selecting an email template in step 4).
Already linked a domain name? If you've already linked a domain name to your website, and want to use it for email forwarding, you'll need to make sure that you chose one of the two I want to create email addresses options when selecting an email template in step 4 of Linking domain names to your website. If you didn't select one of these two options, you'll need to contact your domain name registrar again, making sure you choose the second option (I want to create email addresses to match my linked domain name) in step 4. This is so your registrar can change the MX record for your domain name.
To set up email forwarding, complete these tasks:
- Click the Add an email address link in the Things to do toolbar.
- In the Set up a new email address section, enter:
the first part of the email address you want to create (that is, the part of the email address that will appear before the '@' symbol). For example, if you were creating the email address email@example.com, you'd type 'sales' in this field.
the domain name you want to create the email address with. For example, if you've purchased or linked more than one domain name, you'll need to choose the one you want to use from the drop-down list.
a name to help you identify the email address in the Email addresses list at the bottom of the page.
In the Set up email forwarding section:
- enter the email address you want to forward emails to. This should be an existing external email address that you (or the person who will be using the address you're creating) has access to (say, a Gmail address).
- select the Make this email address active option (also see How and why would I make an email address inactive? in the FAQs below).
- Once you're finished, click Add email address.
To read emails that have been sent to an email address you created in MYOB Atlas, just log in to the email account that you chose to forward email to (say, your Gmail account). Any emails sent to your new address will appear in the inbox of this account.
Not sure where your email addresses are forwarding email? Check the Email addresses section at the bottom of the Email forwarding page of your website.
You can send emails from your new email address by using the email account that you chose to forward email to (say, your Gmail account). When you send an email, you can select your new email address in the From field, so that this is the address that your recipient sees. But first, you need to add your new email address to the email account you chose to forward email to.
This process will vary depending on your email provider. If you use:
- Windows Live, Hotmail or MSN, see the Windows Live help.
- Yahoo! or Yahoo!7, see the Yahoo! help.
- another email provider, you'll need to check their help documentation (or their website) to see whether they support email aliases, and/or to get help setting one up.
Setting up Gmail to send email from your new address
- Log into the Gmail account that you're forwarding email to. This is the account you entered in the Forward email to field when you set up your new email address in MYOB Atlas.
- In the Accounts and Import tab of your Mail settings page, click the Add another email address you own link.
- Enter a name to appear on outgoing emails, and the new email address that you created in MYOB Atlas, then click Next Step. Note: Make sure the email address you enter is one that you created in MYOB Atlas, and that it's been set up to forward emails to the Gmail account you're currently logged in to.
- Select the Send through Gmail option and click Next Step.
- Click Send Verification. An email message will be sent to the address you entered, and then automatically forwarded to the Gmail account you're logged in to.
- In a new window or tab, go to your Gmail Inbox and open the Gmail Confirmation email.
- Click the confirmation link in the email, or copy the confirmation code and paste it into the Enter and verify the confirmation code field.
- The new email address will now be available to select in the From field when you're sending email.
Sending an email from Gmail with your new address
To send an email from your new email address, click the down arrow in the From field when you're composing an email. From the list, select the email address you want to use to send the email.
For more information on using Gmail to send email from a different email address, see the Gmail help.
For information on MYOB Atlas pricing, log in to your website and click My account on the Settings menu.
To edit or delete an email address you've set up to use email forwarding with, click Email forwarding in the Settings menu. In the Email addresses section at the bottom of the Email forwarding page, click Edit or Delete next to the email address you want to edit or delete.
You may need to make one or more of your email addresses inactive if you choose to downgrade your MYOB Atlas plan. In this case, the number of active email addresses you're allowed will decrease. Before you downgrade you'll be asked to make sure that the addresses you want to keep are active, and all others are set as inactive.
To make an email address inactive, click Email forwarding in the Settings menu, and click the Edit link next to the email address you want make inactive. On the Edit email address page, deselect the Make this email address active option. Once you're finished, click Update.
In the Email addresses list at the bottom of the Email forwarding page, you can see the time and date of the last email forwarded for each of your email addresses.
If you think your email address might not be working, try sending a test email to it and checking whether this time and date is updated. If you don't receive the test email, check that you've entered the correct email address to forward to, and that the email hasn't been sent to your Spam folder.
Make sure you send your test email from a different address to the one that will be receiving forwards. This is because some email providers aren't able to forward emails to the same address that they've been sent from.
To find out who is managing your domain names, you can do a WHOIS search.
To do this, do a Google search for the term 'WHOIS search'. You'll find numerous websites that allow you to search the WHOIS records for your domain names. The WHOIS records will include details about the company who manages your domain names.

thanks to LJ (lots of advice on elecrical wiring do's and dont's) community…and research just about everything about what to do for electrical add ons, the city inspector came out and was amazed at how "correctly done" and "in code" my rough-in was for someone not being an electrician by trade. he said most small hobby type garage remodels for electrical are disasters (double lugs, bonding grounding bar, wrong wire size, no GFCI in first plug in the series, etc). he was highly pleased with the separation of the wires thru the sub-panel knockouts and how organized the wires were. he liked it so much, the even signed off on the final even though this was just to be the rough-in inspection. gratned, the easy part comes next (hooking up the outlets, putting bulbs in the lights, and hooking up the 10/4 to main panel 60amp fuse).

We know that Instant Pots are among the hottest cooking trends today—both for the convenience factor in cooking healthful ingredients such as soyfoods and other legumes and for retaining nutrients. That's because Instant Pot cooking requires shorter cooking times that preserve vitamins and minerals in foods. With the current interest in adding more plant proteins to our diets, we created The Definitive Guide to Cooking Soyfoods (see below or download HERE).
The chart simplifies the process of quickly preparing ingredients such as tempeh, frozen edamame, TVP/TSP (textured vegetable protein/textured soy protein), canned or dried soybeans and other popular soyfoods. The chart also provides cooking times and guidelines for making your own soy yogurt or tempeh in an Instant Pot.
Techniques and ideas for preparing soyfoods in the Instant Pot
Soy yogurt
Using homemade or packaged soy milk (only two ingredients: water and soybeans), add 1/4 teaspoon yogurt culture (or the powder from one probiotic capsule, 15 billion flora or higher) and stir vigorously (or, if adding to a box of soymilk, shake well). Pour into glass containers (quart jars do well). Place glasses directly in the pot – no water or trivet required – and cover. Move the steam valve to "sealing." Press the yogurt button, adjust to medium, and set to 8 to 12 hours. When cycle is complete, cover jars with an air-tight lid, allow to come to room temperature and then refrigerate.
Tempeh (packaged)
Steaming tempeh before marinating is a great way to tenderize it and prepare it for maximum absorption of marinade. Simply add 1/4 cup water to the Instant Pot. Place a trivet and/or steam basket in the pot. Place tempeh on the trivet or in the steam basket. Set for 0 minutes, low pressure, use a quick release.
Tempeh (homemade in the Instant Pot)
- Cook 2 cups dry soybeans (unsoaked) with 5 cups water in the Instant Pot for 50 to 60 minutes on high pressure. Use a natural release.
- Rinse and drain the beans and pour out onto a tea towel (or two) to dry (for about 20 minutes).
- Pat dry with a new tea towel on top. Transfer to a food processor and quickly pulse to split the beans a bit (no more than 10 or 20 seconds).
- In a large bowl combine the beans with 2 tablespoons rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon tempeh starter culture. Mix well.
- Transfer the beans to 2 or 4 plastic bags (pierced with a skewer every one inch). Form beans into a tight rectangle, seal the bag and wrap it securely. Place on a trivet in an Instant Pot with NO water. For more than one block, you can try to fit two small (8-ounce) tempeh bags on a trivet and then put another trivet on top. You want room for circulation.
- Cover the pot. Make sure the sealing lever is on "venting," not sealing, and select the yogurt function, then toggle the adjust button to low. Allow the tempeh to ferment for 48 hours.
Tofu scramble
Saute your favorite hearty veggies, a mirepoix (onion, celery, and garlic) and/or diced potatoes, for instance. Crumble tofu into the Instant Pot. Add your favorite spices and seasoning, plus 1/4 to 1/2 cup vegetable broth. Cover and choose the manual setting, adjusting pressure to "less" (low pressure). Set for 3 minutes. Use a quick release. Uncover, stir and if there's extra liquid, turn the saute function on to cook down. At this point add cheese, leafy greens or anything else you like to round out the meal.
TVP/TSP and Soy curls
These dried soyfoods are terrific in the Instant Pot. Rehydrate with warm water or broth (1:1 ratio) for 10 minutes. Then add to the pot for soup, stews, stirfries, fillers (tacos, enchiladas, burritos) and more. They can cook up as quickly as three minutes at low pressure (quick release) but can hold up for a few more minutes if you have a longer cooking ingredient (like potatoes).

This honey glazed salmon with avocado mango salsa is so easy to make you'll have dinner on the table in no time! You'll love the heat from the chili powder as well as the touch of sweetness from the honey glaze. If you're looking for an easy gluten-free and dairy-free meal, it's here!
It's been awhile since I've shared recipes with you all! Life has gotten a little crazy over here. As most of you know, I'm an accountant by day, so I've been in my busy season the past month or so. And in bigger (and fun!) news, we bought our first home!
We purchased a condo in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago in late January and we were all moved in by the end of February so it was quite the whirlwind.
And to top it off, I got the nastiest cold on our closing date and was sick for our entire move. We are completely in love with our new place and I can't wait to share lots of photos of foods from the ample light we now have streaming through our condo!
Needless to say, February was completely nuts and I'm glad to have things slow down a bit so I can share some of the recipes I've been creating with you. I'm going to start you off with this delicious honey glazed salmon with avocado mango salsa. It's super quick to prepare, which makes it great for an easy week night meal.
My favorite part of this recipe (besides the fact that it's gluten-free and dairy-free, obviously) is the glaze. It's mainly a combination of honey, chili powder, fresh lime juice and cilantro, which gives it this super delicious sweet, spicy and zesty taste. You know me, I don't like a lot of heat in my food because I'm a wimp, so it only has just a wee bit of a kick. You can always up the heat by adding a pinch of cayenne to the glaze, too.
When you're strapped for time, seafood is always a great option for an easy weeknight meal. It cooks very quickly, no matter what way you choose to cook it. Today, we're baking our salmon, but if you have an Instant Pot, check out this easy Instant Pot Salmon from Alyssa at Everyday Maven.
You can eat the salmon as is with just the honey chili powder glaze, but honestly why stop there? The avocado mango salsa is so tasty. Something about mango and avocado together just makes me very happy (see here). It really rounds out the flavor from the glaze which is why it's a great addition. And any leftovers I have of that salsa just goes straight from the spoon into my mouth. I have no shame.
Once you try this recipe, you'll want to make this honey glazed salmon with avocado mango every night.. trust me!
Honey Glazed Salmon with Avocado Mango Salsa
For the Salmon:
- 4 4-6 oz salmon fillets (I like wild Alaskan salmon)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp oil I use avocado oil, though olive oil works here too
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the Salsa:
- 1 avocado peeled, pitted and diced
- 1 mango peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup red onion small dice
- 1/4 cup bell pepper diced
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
- Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray, and set aside.
- To prepare the mango avocado salsa, combine the diced mango, avocado, bell pepper, red onion, lime juice, salt and cilantro. Stir to combine. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, chili powder, lime juice, oil, cilantro and salt until combined.
- Place salmon, skin side down, on the baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Spoon or brush the honey glaze on top of the salmon.
- Bake at 425F for 10-12 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and easily flaked with a fork.
- Top with mango avocado salsa and serve.

He's curated a career out of balancing stones in nature in a form that seems so obvious and simple yet requires a huge amount of skill. He calls his technique 'gravity glue' as he doesn't use any adhesive to create his stone sculptures- only gravity. This video is incredibly captivating. Magic really does happen when you pay attention.

I wanted to go for a bright monochromatic look to differentiate myself from all the head-to-toe black outfits out there on Instagram! When it comes to monochrome, always play with textural pieces. In this case I tucked my silk lace slip dress into some pleated culottes….

The City of St. Catharines owns approximately 500 works of art and cultural property that are the direct responsibility of the City's Cultural Services office in the Parks, Recreation and Culture Services department. This includes fine art, photos, outdoor art and war memorials, significant plaques and the historic Charles I.D. Looff/Marcus Illions carved wooden animals at the Lakeside Park Carousel. The City of St. Catharines has spent more than ten years inventorying, cataloguing and managing this diverse collection.
The Civic Art Collection plays an important role in creating access for residents to art and cultural property that honours our cultural identity as a community. It is a complex collection, with over 100 years of acquisition, and only a decade of formal management practice. First inventoried in 2002, the art collection saw its first management-related policy, the Public Art Policy, approved in 2003, along with a new Committee of Council, the Public Art Advisory Committee, to provide support for the collection as well as for acquisitions.
Since 2007 the Public Art Advisory Committee has begun selecting artwork from contemporary artists for inclusion in the Civic Art Collection, most notably from the Annual Juried Exhibit featuring local artists. The Public Art Advisory Committee is currently working to formalize an acquisition process, address community-initiated projects and move forward with new public art projects.
Works from the Civic Collection are displayed throughout the City. Below is a list of some of the locations to explore the collection further:
In addition to the Civic Art Collection, the City of St. Catharines also maintains a small art collection in the St. Catharines Public Library and a major collection of artifacts and cultural property at the St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre.
Visually beautiful cities stimulate a sense of pride and commitment.
Through its Public Art Policy the City of St. Catharines strives to create vibrant public spaces that reflect the diversity of our community and engage its residents and visitors with quality works of public art.
The City of St. Catharines seeks to encourage all those who care about the community to participate in making art, collecting it and commissioning it. You can do your part by donating to the City's Civic Art Collection.
