There are a lot of literature including the ones on Microsoft KB's which talks about how we can make our tests data driven. These employ the use of additional app.config file. After many headaches, I have figured out a way to accomplish the same without the use of app.config.
Getting ready
1. Create a new C# unit test project in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and name it SeleniumDataDrivenTest
2. Add a reference to the WebDriver .NET binding
3. Create a excel sheet from where you want to read the data from. Let's call that data sheet as Data.xlsx
You can parameterize a test in MSTEST by adding the Excel spreadsheet to deployment items of the test project, using the following steps:
1. Click on solution and choose to add a Test Setting and continue as shown in the following screenshot:
2. The Test Settings dialog will appear. We need to add the test data file by clicking the Add File button in the Deployment section, as shown in the following screenshot:
3. Once you add the file to the Deployment section, it will appear in the list, as shown in the following screenshot: Let's ensure that we create an excel sheet from where you want to read the data and call it as as Data.xlsx.
4. In the solution explorer, use the Show all files and your file "Data.xlsx" should now show up. Once it does , right click on it and choose include in project. Your solution show now resemble something like the screenshot below
5. Now right click on the "Data.xlsx" file and choose to modify it's properties. Set the Build Action to Content and Copy to output directory as either to "Copy always" or "Copy if newer". I always tend to leave it as "Copy always"
6. Now copy the below code to the class
How it works :
When we add the DataSource attribute to a test in MSTEST, it provides data source-specific information for data-driven testing to the framework.
It reads the test data from the source. In this example, the source is an Excel spreadsheet. The framework internally creates a DataTable object to store the values from the source.The TestContext test method provides a collection of data rows for parameterization. We can access a field by specifying its name, as follows:
With the DataSource attribute, we can specify the connection string or a configuration file to read data from a variety of sources including CSV File, Excel spreadsheets, XML files,or databases.

Mini Review ARTICLE
Is There an Association of Vascular Disease and Atherosclerosis in Children and Adolescents With Obesity and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease?
- Department of Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins Medicine, All Children's Hospital, St. Petersburg, FL, United States
Carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) evaluated by ultrasound are non-invasive markers of atherosclerosis. Increased cIMT in adults has been correlated to early vascular damage. Several studies show similar correlations of elevated cIMT in children with obesity, hyperlipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. Additionally, several articles have correlated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with elevated cIMT, indicating early atherosclerosis. It is alarming that these vascular changes may be seen in children as young as 10 years of age. Children with NAFLD may also have an increased pulse wave velocity that correlates to increased arterial stiffness and increased left ventricular dimension, mass, and diastolic dysfunction. These articles are persuasive, indicating a correlation of Pediatric NAFLD and early vascular disease. However, study limitations include the use of elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and echogenic changes on ultrasound that may have low accuracy to identify NAFLD. Ultrasound has low sensitivities and specificities for detection of NAFLD and therefore is not recommended for diagnosis. In comparison, studies that used liver biopsy or proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy to identify NAFLD did not find a correlation with elevated cIMT or reduction in FMD. Due to these conflicting findings, more studies looking at cIMT and FMD changes in children with NAFLD are needed with more accurate diagnostic methods for steatosis to identify if there truly is a correlation of increased liver steatosis to early atherosclerosis.
The prevalence of obesity in the United States has increased in the past 4 years to 1 in 5 children (1). There has also been a considerable increase in the prevalence of obesity from 2015 to 2016 in children ages 2–5 years (1). Recent data shows increased rates of obesity in children of Hispanic and African American heritage as compared to other races (1). Obesity is a disease that effects the whole body. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is just one finding in patients with obesity. As the rates of obesity increase, so does the prevalence of NAFLD (2). NAFLD is truly a histological diagnosis defined as steatosis >5% (3), and often is clinically asymptomatic. It occurs in higher frequency in individuals of Hispanic origin (especially from South America) and of Middle Eastern origin (4, 5). It also occurs with intermediate frequency in Whites, and less commonly in Blacks (4, 5). Those individuals of Hispanic heritage with fatty liver may have a higher rate of progression to fibrosis (5). In addition, it now well-known that children with the rs738409 C>G adiponutrin/patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) polymorphism gene mutation have a higher risk of severe steatosis and progression to fibrosis (6). NAFLD can progress over time to a condition called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which has features of ballooning steatosis, fibrosis, and inflammation (4). There are concerns that NASH in young adults will become the leading cause of liver transplants in the future (7). In addition to liver damage, could the finding of NAFLD be correlated to early cardiac disease?
Historically, Berenson et al. published their post mortem autopsy findings of individuals ages 2–39 years, showing that aortic or coronary artery fatty streaks and fibrous plaques were strongly correlated to elevated body mass index (BMI), elevated blood pressure, and mixed hyperlipidemia (8). One non-invasive method to assess vascular changes is evaluation of carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) via carotid ultrasound. Increased cIMT in adults has been correlated to early vascular damage (9, 10). In addition, there are findings of coronary artery disease and altered ventricular function in adults with NAFLD (11–13). Adults with NAFLD were found to have coronary artery stenosis, higher coronary artery calcium, and all types of plaque (calcified and non-calcified) as compared to controls (14). Similarly, the authors of a systematic review and meta-analysis study showed increased left ventricular mass in adult patients with NAFLD as compared to controls (15). Clearly, there are many well-described associations of atherosclerosis and structural heart disease in adults who have NAFLD.
As discussed previously, there are racial difference with the prevalence of NAFLD. Similarly, there may be different prevalence and onset of cardiac disease in certain racial groups. In one recent adult study, the authors found that NAFLD was highest in patients who were of Hispanic heritage and lowest in Blacks and Chinese (16). Overall, the total prevalence of abdominal aortic calcification was highest in Whites, followed by Chinese, Blacks, and Hispanics (16). However, when evaluating the participants with NAFLD, the abdominal aortic calcification was highest in Hispanics, followed by Chinese, then Blacks, and finally Whites (16). The authors concluded that NAFLD did have an increased association with abdominal aortic calcification, and may affect different racial groups differently (16).
Such studies looking at the association of NAFLD and atherosclerosis with different racial groups has not been evaluated in children. This may be a possible topic for future Pediatric NAFLD research, looking at the differences and the onset of cardiac disease in various racial groups.
However, several pediatric articles have been published demonstrating the association of cIMT or brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) changes in children with NAFLD (17–34). In comparison, fewer and more recent articles have been published that do not show this association (35–37). The pediatric data currently published may have limitations and may not be generalizable to all children with NAFLD, due to the different onset and progression of heart disease in different racial groups. Overall, there likely is an association when taking into account the significant amount of published studies showing a link between NAFLD and vascular disease. However, better well-designed studies are needed with more accurate methods to identify NAFLD while taking into account racial onset and prevalence of hepatic steatosis. The articles published regarding the association of NAFLD with cIMT and FMD changes are reviewed in this article.
The articles were identified with the help of an unbiased medical librarian at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. Two independent searches 6 months apart was conducted. Embase and PubMed were used to identify articles that fit the criteria. The search was limited to ages 0–18 years, and key words of NAFLD, cIMT, FMD, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and atherosclerosis. Each term was used in combination to limit articles and each item was also searched independently. Articles that were relevant to this review were used. Articles were excluded if they did not have research subjects with NAFLD.
Studies Supporting Association of NAFLD With Elevated cIMT and Low FMD
Overall, there have been more articles in the literature in support of early vascular changes like elevated cIMT and low FMD in children with NAFLD and obesity (17–34). What is interesting is that these articles used either abdominal ultrasound alone or abdominal ultrasound and elevated liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase in most studies >40 U/L) to identify steatosis and NAFLD (17–34, 38). One study also used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings as well to identify patients with steatosis (19). In some papers, a grading system was used to identify the level of steatosis or changes on liver ultrasound (18, 21–23, 26, 28, 29, 33). Many of the papers either used BMI percentile (14, 17–19, 21–23, 25, 26, 28, 32, 38, 39) or a fixed BMI >28–30 kg/m2 to define obesity (27, 29–31, 33). Echocardiography and carotid ultrasound were used to identify cIMT. FMD was evaluated via Doppler ultrasound imaging before and after an ischemic event caused by reduced blood flow from an inflated sphygmomanometer (19, 21, 37). All the papers excluded patients if they had systemic diseases or significant alcohol use.
There has been a series of articles by Pacifico et al. that have dominated the research in this area. In one of their studies, the authors found reduced FMD in obese children with NAFLD when exposed to ischemia (30). Children with NAFLD and obesity had elevated cIMT which was even higher if they had metabolic syndrome (30). In another study by the same group, the patients who had hepatic steatosis had higher mean and maximum cIMT measurements (23). They also found elevated cIMT was associated with elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance, NAFLD, and high triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/ HDL-c) ratio (12). The authors also demonstrated that after 12 month intervention of diet and exercise in children with NAFLD and obesity, the FMD improved but elevated cIMT did not regress (19). Failure of improvement of cIMT with lifestyle intervention is concerning, and further studies need to be done to see if this is a reproducible finding in children.
Other authors have also found similar correlations of elevated cIMT with NAFLD (18, 20–22, 25–28, 31, 33, 34), and have linked increased severity of steatosis to even higher cIMT values (18, 25), and lower FMD values (21). The inclusion of hepatic steatosis on ultrasound may improve the cIMT predictability of cardiac disease as compared to metabolic syndrome alone (28). A correlation of higher cIMT measurements was found with elevated aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI), which is a marker for hepatic fibrosis (33).
Structural heart changes have also been reported such as increased thickening of the left ventricle, higher interventricular septal thickness in systole, increased left ventricular posterior wall thickness in diastole, increased left atrial and aortic diameters, higher left ventricular mass, and higher left ventricular mass index in children with NAFLD and obesity (22, 30, 31). The authors of one study looked at applanation tonometry to measure arterial stiffness via pulse wave velocity (29). They found that those patients who had NAFLD with other high risk metabolic abnormalities had greater pulse wave velocity as compared to those without metabolic complications (29).
In summary, there are many articles showing an association of early signs of structural heart disease and atherosclerosis in children with NAFLD. Perhaps practitioners need to be more concerned with the finding of NAFLD, as this may be a sign of early heart disease in children.
Studies Lacking Association of NAFLD With Elevated cIMT and Low FMD
What is interesting is that some newer articles do not support the association of elevated cIMT and low FMD in children who have NAFLD. What is unique about these articles is the use of either magnetic resonance spectroscopy or liver biopsy to define steatosis (35–37). When comparing degree of steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, there was no correlation with elevated right or left cIMT values (36). Steatosis and serum ALT was not correlated to elevated cIMT or arterial wall stiffness (35) either. The only predictor was BMI for abnormalities on cIMT (36). In addition, there was no association of hepatic fat fraction and FMD changes (37).
Diagnosis of Liver Steatosis, Fibrosis, and NAFLD
At this time, the North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) clinical practice guideline for NAFLD in children recommends the use of serum ALT at the age of 10 years (40) for screening. Ultrasound has fallen out of favor for the screening and diagnosis of NAFLD due to the low sensitivities and specificities (40, 41). There are new radiologic techniques like magnetic resonance elastography with better sensitivities and specificities that are validated for the evaluation of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis (40, 42) in children. Magnetic resonance elastography also has ~88% sensitivity and 85% specificity for detecting fibrosis (43). Ultimately, the gold standard for the evaluation of liver steatosis and fibrosis is histology of liver biopsy samples (3, 38, 44). Liver biopsy or magnetic resonance imaging are more accurate but also more expensive techniques for diagnosis (43). Liver biopsy is also invasive and can have complications of bleeding and damage to the gallbladder. There is also an added cost of anesthesia and 12–24 h hospital admission for observation post liver biopsy. To reduce the cost of diagnosis, non-invasive fibrosis scores, or serum biomarkers are under evaluation. In children, thus far, fibrosis scores that are typically used in adults are not accurate in predicting liver fibrosis (43). Equally, serum fibrosis biomarkers like caspase-cleaved cytokeratin 18 (CK18) show promise in recent research studies, but need further validation before it is recommended as part of clinical practice (43).
Overall, there are many studies correlating elevated BMI, hepatic steatosis, and metabolic syndrome with increased cIMT, lower FMD, possible increased arterial stiffness, and ventricular dysfunction in children. These articles predominantly used liver ultrasound with or without serum ALT to identify NAFLD. Some authors also used ultrasound grading of the echogenicity to correlate with severity of hepatic steatosis. Recently, ultrasound has fallen out of favor for screening for NAFLD due to the sensitivities and specificities of the test, and may not be an accurate way to identify hepatic steatosis. In comparison, the articles that define NAFLD with liver biopsy or proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy did not find this correlation to structural heart or vascular changes.
There is also a different prevalence of NAFLD in different racial groups. Perhaps the onset of cardiac disease, therefore, is different in different ethnic groups as well. One limitation of these studies is generalizability of the findings to all races and populations. Robust studies are needed which use more accurate diagnostic techniques for NAFLD, and take into consideration the differences of the disease frequency in different ethnic groups.
With the global health and economic impact of increased rates of obesity and therefore NAFLD in children, it is important for future research to identify if there is a correlation of hepatic steatosis to early atherosclerosis and at what age this occurs. The information from the future research would help create clinical programs for early diagnosis and intervention before significant vascular disease begins.

Care Instructions
Care: When you pick out your favorite case goods and take them home with you, you want to take care of these pieces and ensure that they will last in your home for many years. The first thing you should do is keep your case goods out of direct sunlight. This helps protect the surfaces from humidity and heat.
Get into the habit of using a soft dust-free cloth for routine maintenance in order to remove the accumulation of dust. Do not use any furniture cleaners or abrasives. This can damage the finish of the piece.
Keeping these things in mind will help you keep your furniture looking its best for years to come.

Inspiring Change Through Literature and Media
Prov.31:18 (GW) She sees that she is making a good profit. Her lamp burns late at night.
Are you doing well in your chosen field or life's pursuit?
Then it's definitely NOT time to take a break or relent!
There's no sanctuary for brave men
Danger allures them as it were a sun
What they have dared they will dare again …
An early high school poem (can't locate source or author) went something like this:
"There's no sanctuary for brave men
Danger allures them as it were a sun
What they have dared they will dare again …" etc.
The best time to prove your worth and work out your destiny is during the 'daytime' when everything seems to be working just fine and the results are visible.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: John 9:4 (NKJV)
If there's anytime to keep at it and give it your very best shot, then it's NOW!
Lord, please teach me to learn that when the fruit of my labour starts showing forth is not time for recess, but rather time for more work. Amen.

There is hysteria in America over Tumeric.
Also known as turmeric; have you heard of it?
It is a rhizome, or horizontal root forming lateral shoots.
Native to the most ancient of India, the Vedic sages there named her Haridra.
Now it is known to grow all over Africa,
as well as locales around Latin America.
On the Hawaiian Islands, her name is Olena. Bright yellow-Orange,
she dyes the robes of saints, tints her sisters saris and makes a fine paint.

God is always with us. He lives in our hearts and in our mind. He is with us when we are in church and when we're out in the world. God loves you and me. God loves everyone. He loves the rich. He loves the poor. He loves the sick. He loves the healthy. Who do you think needs God's love more? It says in the Bible that God knows the sick need Him more. God knows that the thief on the cross needed Him more. God loves us all. He especially loves those who need him the most. Visit with those who are sick. Try to live like your creator. God will smile down on you and bless you.

What's that you say, big in the yoof market? Fancy that. This app takes up the niche mass middle ground between not really wanting to leave a long voicemail, but not wanting to sms either. You can leave a 'bubble' or extended vmail that someone gets notified by sms about and can listen and respond to at their leisure.
I was not aware of this middle ground but i am not a yoof, so what do i kno.

Cubs Game Notes For Sunday vs. Pittsburgh
* Jon Lester and the Cubs allowed one hit against the Pirates yesterday afternoon. It was only the second time in the last 60 seasons the Cubs have one-hit the Pirates, and the first time since Jake Arrieta picked up his 21st win of the 2015 season.
* Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo have enjoyed playing against the Pirates, both posting an OPS over 1.000 in their careers against Pittsburgh.
* The Pirates are at a bit of a low point, with just five wins in their last 21 games dating back to May 18. That is the lowest win percentage in MLB in that time period. The Cubs are tied for the second-best winning percentage since May 18 at 15-6 (.714).
* Since allowing 10 runs (all earned) in a loss to the Indians on May 22, the Cubs' pitching staff has been dominant, leading the majors in ERA (2.37), Opp Avg (.203), Opp Slug (.302), Opp OPS (.591), hits/9 (6.57).
*Kyle Hendricks' overall opponent batting average at home (.193) ranks third in the NL behind Max Scherzer (.141) and Patrick Corbin (.171) [minimum 150 batters faced].

Assessing the ability to meet preferred manning levels for selected families of NCM occupations

- Operational Research Div, Ottawa ONT (CAN) Director Operational Research (Corporate, Air & Maritime);Operational Research Div, Ottawa Ont (CAN) Directorate of Strategic Human Resource Co-Ordination;Operational Research Div, Ottawa ONT (CAN) Personnel Operational Research Team
- Abstract
- In compliance with Defence Planning Guidance 2000 Change Objective 6.1, "Recruitment and Retention", the Director Military Equipment Policy (DMEP) requested that the Director Strategic Human Resources Coordination undertaken an analysis of forecast attrition as a function of years of service (YOS). DMEP requested that military occupations be grouped into families or "nests" for the purpose of this analysis. This paper assesses the ability of the majority of occupational nests of non-commissioned members (constituting 93% of the population) to attain and maintain Preferred Manning Level (PML), subject to the constraints of school capacity. Forecast voluntary attrition is studied using career flow modelling methodology. An example, the Communications and Electronics occupational nest, is examined in detail. It is found that if school capacities are not increased, many occupations will have to face manning shortages for years to come. Immeidate increases in recruitment could dramatically reduce the time expected to elapse prior to attaining PML. As for voluntary attrition, peak areas occur at 19 to 24 YOS and at two to five YOS. Reducing voluntary attrition could eliminate the need for school capacity increases.

Google Glass Banned?
Google Glass isn't even on the shelves yet and it's being banned from all sorts of places. It was reported towards the end of last year that the "wearable tech", which incorporates a tiny screen and camera connected to the internet, was already unwelcome at some casinos in the USA. Is this a knee-jerk reaction to a genuinely exciting, even revolutionary new technology? Is it maybe a fantastic bit of PR?
Casino Bans
For a piece of kit that only a tiny percentage of humanity has actually tried, a whole lot of people seem to have an opinion about it. Google Glass certainly does have implications for casinos and their patrons, both negative and positive, so if you manage to get your hands on a pair you might be better off testing those capabilities somewhere like Gaming Club online casino first.
In New Jersey, the ban is official. The state's Division of Gaming Enforcement has ordered all 12 casinos under its jurisdiction to stop gamblers wearing Glass. Various other states have followed suit, including Nevada, meaning that casinos in Las Vegas (and Reno) won't allow the device.

Loved the moire screen detail
#startrekdiscovery Some details go back to my childhood. I always loved Spock's science station on the Enterprise bridge. Thank to Alex Kurtzman and Olatunde Osunsanmi for letting me animate Spock's moiré. Such an iconic screen! pic.twitter.com/W1tXwRoYpZ— Timothy Peel (@timothypeel1) April 20, 2019

things we didn't learn:
― mookieproof, Saturday, 20 April 2019 21:22 (seven months ago) link
also, why did the signals appear briefly at the start of the season? why did burnham bother with saru's backwards shithole planet instead of getting someone like the vulcans to help out?
yes, i could deal with a few of these, but all together they come across as sloppy writing.
― adam the (abanana), Saturday, 20 April 2019 23:44 (seven months ago) link
"have we had fighters/drones like that before in trek?"
star trek beyond had lots of little ships. I did find the action sequences genuinely thrilling, which I hadn't felt before with Discovery. (If the budget overrun on the season premiere was spent on the X-Wing asteroid field sequence, they wasted their money.)
― adam the (abanana), Saturday, 20 April 2019 23:48 (seven months ago) link
Also it's seems like poor starfleet management practice not to nominate a captain from the legions of commanders on discovery before they disappeared into the future.
I did like Number 1s very 60s hairstyle and overall looks. The 23rd century is about to enter a very retro phase.

• why vulcans are unable to use contractions
contractions are illogical
― j., Sunday, 21 April 2019 00:41 (seven months ago) link
Spock used contractions! He might be Vulcan, but he's no Soong-type android.
I really liked this for its pure spectacle! There's a million things that don't make sense this season (yes, the current writing regime continues the proud Trek tradition of not being able to do cool, well-considered sci-fi concepts*), but they hit enough beats that made up for it: Burnham's flight in the suit; the SFX for all of her jumps; Lrell and Ash with the requisite "TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE" (I seriously got choked up when they said it).
* Like they literally didn't need Burnham to send an additional signal! She appeared to Spock as a child, which should've been proof enough that she made it through the wormhole.
― Audrey Tautoulogy (Leee), Sunday, 21 April 2019 04:34 (seven months ago) link
have we had fighters/drones like that before in trek?
I'm pretty sure we saw some in some of the big space battles in DS9.
― Audrey Tautoulogy (Leee), Sunday, 21 April 2019 04:36 (seven months ago) link
xp i think that was mrs burnham who appeared to spock as a child
― mookieproof, Sunday, 21 April 2019 06:42 (seven months ago) link
ugh this was garbageso confusing, maybe i misheard but at one point they say they can't get through to the rest of starfleet, then 5 minutes later "we have 200 ships to [leland's] 30". huh?why didn't they just use the spore drive to jump to the delta quadrant and launch michael from there?so much awful technobabble but the enterprise bridge officer asks the discovery one to "speak english" because she doesn't know what an arc second is :(
― what if bod was one of us (ledge), Saturday, 27 April 2019 20:36 (seven months ago) link
pretty sure they could have tied a string to that blast door handle. also, blast door was pretty strong, maybe they should build the whole ship out of them.
― what if bod was one of us (ledge), Saturday, 27 April 2019 20:57 (seven months ago) link
spock: did u ever knooo that ur my heeeerooooo
― what if bod was one of us (ledge), Saturday, 27 April 2019 20:58 (seven months ago) link
"section 31 requires more transparency"that went well, no-one's heard of it in ds9.
― what if bod was one of us (ledge), Saturday, 27 April 2019 21:08 (seven months ago) link
i thouht the signal she was going to send to spock was the one from his childhood... so when did that one get sent?
― what if bod was one of us (ledge), Saturday, 27 April 2019 21:14 (seven months ago) link
we have 200 ships to [leland's] 30
i think this was a reference to all their lil fighters and drones (and then leland launched his own)
― mookieproof, Saturday, 27 April 2019 22:06 (seven months ago) link
That blast door scene made me cross. No way he could have stood directly on the other side of the glass and not been impacted somehow. WTF.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 28 April 2019 00:04 (seven months ago) link
spock's childhood meeting was with mike's mom. how the vision included the signals when mom didn't know anything about signals is a plot hole.
― adam the (abanana), Sunday, 28 April 2019 08:49 (seven months ago) link
There are dozens of star treks, not just 6 or 7, and if trek is a feeling then everyone has a different one. But i keep thinking of The Measure of a Man; it might not even be my favourite episode but in the writing, the problem posed and the solution offered, it was something of a peak. Nothing in Discovery was remotely of that calibre - in season 2 certainly. Season 1 had some things going for it, e.g. Tilly pushed the boundaries of what a starfleet officer could be, while staying true to or even exemplifying trek values; by season 2 she was mostly reduced to comic relief.
― what if bod was one of us (ledge), Sunday, 28 April 2019 11:15 (seven months ago) link
I missed some of the wtf-ness that Jason Isaacs provided last season, but I really enjoyed this one. Shame the last episode was a Marvel movie climax laser fight though.
― Chuck_Tatum, Sunday, 28 April 2019 16:22 (seven months ago) link

Nothing like answering the door to a FedEx delivery man stating "a box of potatoes for a Danielle Rose....", amazing! When I was contacted by Earth Fresh to work with them on their Klondike Rose Potatoes contest, I jumped at the chance to be involved! Potatoes are always a staple at my house during the summer whether its a baked potato alongside steak, potato salad at our barbecues, homemade french fries, or good ol' home fries with breakfast, potatoes pretty much become part of the Rose family all summer long! Because I've come up with so many delicious potato recipes in the past, I have a tendency to go back to those recipes time and time again, or adjust them just slightly to suit what I have on hand. I love getting to taste my favourite potato recipes again and again, but I've been itching to try something new. The Klondike Rose Potato contest was the perfect kick to get my potato wheels a turnin' to come up with a new and unique recipe using these delicious red skin golden flesh potatoes.
Because I missed Cinco de Mayo this year while I was enjoying my falafels in Israel, I haven't been able to get jalapêno poppers, my 2011 Cinco de Mayo dish, out of my head! With jalapeño poppers on the brain, my Klondike Rose Potato recipe really couldn't go in any other direction, I knew the flavours and textures would be great together! Having never tried this recipe before, improvising as I went, with a deadline on my heels, I was a little nervous that the dish wouldn't turn out. Would the potatoes be too spicy? Bland? Would the texture be off? Would they look nice in a photo? The easiest way to set your nerves aside is to simply begin tasting. Taste every single step that goes into those potatoes and you can't go wrong! My potatoes turned out to be a huge success! My family and I absolutely loved the flavours, textures, and even the presentation! What's better? Leftover potatoes can be kept in the fridge to be wrapped in tin foil and popped in the oven when ready to eat, and they still taste fantastic! Because of their smaller size and festive filling, I love the idea of serving these spicy potatoes up for guests at a backyard barbeque to show up the typical potato salad side. Thanks to Earth Fresh Klondike Rose Potatoes for inviting me to take part in this fun contest!
Tip: I learned the hard way to wear gloves when de-skinning jalapeños. No gloves means severely stinging hands later! If you don't have gloves and have to use bare hands, I found that aloe vera gel gave me some relief. A hot shower made it 100x worse!!

- Preheat oven to 400º
- Pierce potatoes several times with a fork. Rub potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle generously with kosher salt. Place potatoes directly on top rack of oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until potatoes are tender when inserted with a fork.
- Pierce jalapeños with wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes. Using a gas stove or BBQ, turn on flame and carefully place jalapeños directly on flame. Char jalapeños on all sides so that they are black and blistered. Remove skewers, place immediately in a glass bowl, and cover the top with plastic wrap. Let stand for 10 minutes. Wearing gloves, rub the jalapeños with your hands until all the skins are removed. Cut jalapeños in half and remove as much of the seeds and membrane to your liking (they are the spicy parts of the jalapeño, so use your discretion!). Chop finely.
- Warm 1 tbsp of olive oil in a small skillet at medium heat. Add the chopped onion and fry, stirring occasionally, until transparent. Add the jalapeños and continue to cook until softened and onions are golden.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese with the jalapeños, garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, oregano, and thyme. Mix in the mozzarella, cheddar, and bacon and set aside.
- Once the potatoes are baked and are cool enough to handle, slice off the top 1/4 of each potato. Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out the filling, leaving a 1/4-inch thick layer around the skin, and place insides in a medium bowl. Mash the potato insides with a potato masher or fork and stir in the cream. Mix in the cream cheese until well combined.
- Using a small spoon, carefully re-fill the potato skins evenly with the cream cheese and potato filling. Sprinkle the tops evenly with Panko bread crumbs and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until bread crumbs are golden. Top with green onions and serve immediately.

March 2011
Sally Gordon Boyd reports from the RSM that Andrew Gasson provided many Camera Club members including optometrists and dispensing opticians (who came as guests) with a fascinating insight into optical photography.
Andrew Gasson, a specialist in the fitting of contact lenses, is a first class photographer, not only of eyes. He has put this ability to excellent use in his practice and showed photographs of all sorts of conditions and of contact lenses of different types in situ.
He had a patient who he reckons might hold the world record for the length of time she wore contacts; she was fitted in Hungary in the 30s with some very early big glass lenses, and then settled in London and for many years had been with his practice. She had worn contacts absolutely all her life since the age of 13, and died recently at 83. In the last year or so of her life she had too much tremor in her hand to take lenses in and out so he arranged extended wear ones which she came to him to change monthly.
As well as several optometrists who joined in discussion afterwards, the club has some eminent ophthalmologists among its members who also gave support and brought along some colleagues.
Andrew ended up by showing us a picture of a penguin's eye which he had managed to take fairly close up when visiting the Antarctic recently. He apparently waited four hours to get the picture - imagine the cold!

There is yet another lawsuit tied to the collapse of the Reagor-Dykes Auto Group.
International Bank of Commerce is suing Ford Motor Credit, demanding a jury trial, claiming it has lost $25,674,291.33.
IBC financed real estate for D and R Acquisitions, a related Reagor-Dykes company. The suit states the Reagor-Dykes Auto Group "consists of at least the following affiliated entities: Reagor Auto Mall I, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company, Reagor-Dykes II, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company, Reagor Auto Mall, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, Reagor-Dykes Motors, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, Reagor Dykes Auto Company, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, Reagor-Dykes Imports, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, Tex-Fi
Capital, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company, Reagor-Dykes Amarillo, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, Reagor-Dykes Plainview, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, Reagor-Dykes III, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company, RD7 Investments, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company, Reagor-Dykes Floydada, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, Reagor-Dykes Snyder, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, D & R Acquisitions, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, R & D Investments Reinsurance Co., Ltd., a Turks and Caicos Islands corporation, R & D II Reinsurance, Ltd., a Turks and Caicos Islands corporation, and R & D III Reinsurance, Ltd., a Turks and Caicos Islands corporation (collectively, the "RDAG Entities")."
IBC claims Ford Credit had an advantage over other lenders to the Auto Group, because it knew when audits would occur. It cites former Reagor-Dykes CFO Shane Smith's plea documents. This suit states Ford "employees or other agents" told Smith when the audits were coming. Smith has pleaded guilty to a federal count and is awaiting sentencing. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
IBC claims Ford Credit did not inform Reagor-Dykes, or any of its creditors, of floor plan financing fraud until it was too late to mitigate damages -- when Ford Credit sued Reagor-Dykes at the end of July 2018. The suit states:
"On or about July 30, 2018, Ford Credit abruptly terminated funding under the Floor
Plan Financing (the "Funding Cessation"). Prior thereto, Ford Credit did not inform any officer,
director, or equity owner of RDAG, or any representative of its creditors, of the Floor Plan Fraud,
so as to provide those principals and/or creditors an opportunity to address the Floor Plan Fraud
and attempt to implement a consensual plan to mitigate the damage from the Floor Plan Fraud vis-
à-vis RDAG and its creditors."
IBC has foreclosed and liquidated real estate. The $25,674,291.33 tally is the balance for what is owed.
This civil action is IBC vs. Ford Motor Credit. IBC has also filed similar action, and moved for summary judgment, against Bart Reagor and other defendants, claiming more than $25 million owed in that suit.

'Never be unprepared', is one of the commonly heard mottos in Sri Lanka, which says it all about the discipline or the amount of training gained by its followers.The National Cadet Corps which follows the above motto comprises a special set of school students, who have embarked on a journey beyond their school curriculum. Some may see Cadetting as hard-physical training, which is partly true. The National Cadet Corps has its own curriculum that trains its cadets in physical fitness, development of mental strength and soft skills.
History of the National Cadet Corps
The Principal of Royal College, Mr. John B Cull in 1881 initiated a new program with the intention of promoting discipline by doing drill. This was a landmark initiation which today is considered as the birth of the National Cadet Corps. Sooner, other leading schools around the country, Trinity, Kingswood, S Thomas', Wesley and Richmond started cadetting after seeing its success at Royal College. The Cadet Corps at these schools was called the Ceylon Cadet Battalion (CCB). Twenty-one years later the CCB was attached to the Ceylon Light Infantry (CLI).
Initially, all the training for the Cadets was provided by CLI officers. However, the CLI began a more structured program for the Cadets when they established the very first Cadet Battalion in Hikkaduwa with training conducted by headquarters.
In 1950 CCB became the Ceylon Cadet Corps (CCC). In the same year a Second Battalion was formed with its headquarters in Kandy while the First Battalion Headquarters shifted to Kalutara. Thus, with its progress, a Third Battalion was formed in 1953.
After Ceylon declared itself a Republic in 1972, the Corps changed its name to Sri Lanka Cadet Corps.
National Cadet Corps
In1981, a proposal was made by the then government to broadbase the Cadet Corps on a National basis under a central authority. The Act No. 40 of 1985 brought about the amalgamation of the Sri Lanka Cadet Corps and the Police Cadet Corps. Then the National Cadet Corps (NCC) was ceremonially inaugurated by President J.R. Jayewardene on April 29, 1988 under the Ministry of Defence.
As the NCC became a more organised separate entity in 1988, the training and administration also became more organised. Currently officers from all three forces and the police are appointed as instructors in each battalion headquarters who maintain the quality of the training.
Now there are 38 battalions all over the country which consist of Commanding Officers, Adjutants and Training Officers. Out of these thirty eight battalions, Girls' Cadetting has nine battalions, representing each province. These battalions consist of Cadet Officers representing all forcers, Army, Navy, Air Force and Police.
Membership is open to school going boys and girls, who are between the ages of 14 to 20 years. Officers are selected from those in the Teaching Profession in Government Schools.

The next are images I took at every week-long course with Ropes That Rescue in the stunning red-rock nation of Sedona, Arizona.
I've tried taking part in with him to work off some vitality, but it surely doesn't seem to take away his urge to bite me. He doesn't appear mad when he bites me, both â I guess he simply desires to wrestle, but I can not seem to teach him that's not how I play. I yell at him and sometimes scruff him when he does this, then ignore him for some time, nevertheless it at all times occurs again.
Thanks a lot in your site. I knew something was improper with my dog and took him to the vet and had a bunch of exams run. I simply discovered that my little canine is blind & to make issues worse, I don't assume her sense of scent is all that good. She has been performing very depressed, gained lots of weight and many others. I'm hoping she's going to snap out of her melancholy quickly. She won't play and might barely even go on walks. How long did it take on your canines to recover from their melancholy.
so i've this query, for the past few weeks..i do know its odd, however i have been having goals about this guy i was with for 4 years. now we've been seperated for a couple of 12 months now, and haven't talked for over three months. however virtually each dream was completely different, however alike at the same time. we would be talking, each place we'd be at was different. but lastnight was completely different, in my dream i was with my present boyfriends mom..and out of nowhere she requested who i was gonna choose, her son, or my then i awakened? i don't know if any of which means something, but its been bugging me, and making me think i made a incorrect determination.
I've deer in my space however they don't seem to be an issue as an alternative my drawback is wild boars. Nothing stops them even an electric fence, they simply dig under it. They have acquired a taste for my winter onions. Your lens made me chortle until I thought about my own drawback. To date what works best for me is open pans of stale beer set round my backyard and I have no idea why it slows the boars down. Good lens very authentic.

Source of the photo, Platforma Obywatelska (Civic Platform) (CC BY-SA 2.0)
National Council
Civic Platform's (EPP) National Council took place on 24th February in Warsaw. Amongst the speakers, aside form the Leader – Grzegorz Schetyna, there were Commissioner Elżbieta Bieńkowska, former Foreign Affairs Minister Radosław Sikorski, who joined his party for the first time since 2015, and members of the European Parliament from the party. Foreign policy was high on the agenda and the meeting's motto was "#YesToEurope" (#TakdlaEuropy).
"Weakened position"
In his speech, Grzegorz Schetyna emphasized that "Law and Justice (ECR), that has ruled Poland for more than two years, destroyed Polish international image", listing worsened relations with Israel, the United States, Ukraine, France, Germany and "the whole Western Europe". At the same time, he expressed an opinon that "The only ally that Kaczyński names, which is Orban, only supports him conditionally", implying that in face of a looming conflict, Hungary's Prime Minister would not side with Kaczyński against Russia, Germany or the European Union.
In contrast, Grzegorz Schetyna praised the foreign policy of former governments led by Platforma – "We were an important regional ally of the United States. As a close partner of Germany, France and other key member states, we managed to succesfully defend the interests of Central Europe". He also added that during the rule of Platforma, Poland, together with Sweden, designed Eastern Partnership, highlighting that it was Radosław Sikorski that "convinced the most important capitals of Europe to implement the project".
Culture and nation
Grzegorz Schetyna has associated the criticism of PiS foreign policy with the way the nation is perceived. As he remarked, PO "reaches to traditions of community in the jagiellonian spirit" which is "the concept of civil society", and at the same time rejects "narrow, tribal understanding of Polish character through the prism of race, ethnically homogeneous nation or one faith", which the leader has indirectly accused PiS of.
As an example of building such a community, he mentioned the development of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews POLIN – "this museum is not devoted to some other, strange nation" – he said – "it has been built with old fellow citizens in mind". Schetyna has also reminded that Poles are a community, "which not long ago was encompassing millions of Jews and Ukrainians, and hundreds of thousands of our citizens of different nationalities and faith".
Platforma's leader has thus emphasised that in nowadays, homogeneous Poland, "rememberance and tradition of the First and Second Republic of Poland cannot disappear, because then Poles would become a completely different, meagre nation".
In her statement Róża Thun, MEP from PO hit similar tones, claiming that "patriotism is responsibility for Europe, too". She has also called for the opposition to take action – "As opposition, we have to show that Poland is not like PiS. That Poles do not support PiS destructive influence on Poland and Europe". She also didn't agree with perceiving the EU as an external force. "There's no Europe beyond us – it's here", she said.
Israel upon Vistula
"I do understand that PiS had a different concept of foreign policy" – Radosław Sikorski confessed, while talking about the issue of security. – "not a full membership within the group yielding power in EU, but an alternative project that doesn't restrict sovereignty understood in an old-fashioned way: an international project, Polish-American, Poland as Israel upon Vistula".
He didn't hide that it's a concept he "does not agree with at all" and which he believes to be "harmful for Poland." He has also pointed out that PiS is not going to pursue it – "if american base is to form in Poland, it must be equally wanted by the government of the United States, the administration, the President, as well as the Congress, which has to allocate money for this project". "I'm informing my right-wing colleagues that II World War revisionism, propagandist (atomic!) war with Israel, instigating or tolerating antisemitism in Poland and fighting the Jewish diaspora in the USA through the Atlantic – is not a good way of getting into the Congress' good graces", he added snidely.

Chinese Zodiac – Year of the Dog 狗 (gǒu)
Dogs are honest, straightforward and friendly. They are extremely protective of themselves and their loved ones. With a passion for fair play and justice they never fail to rescue you time after time. They may rant and rave but they never rest until they right the wrong. They are true humanitarians and suffer with the world. In spite of their concern for others, social graces and fancy parties do not impress them. Having sharp eyes, they will see through people's motives. They are quite private about their personal lives and someone prying into their affairs make them secretive and withdrawn. Once you gain their confidence, they open up freely.
Once dogs classify you, they rarely change their minds. There are few in-betweens. Dogs perceive things either in black or white. You are either friend or enemy. Luckily, they are good judges of character and have superb insight into human nature. Dogs are tolerant of their friends. Before they approve of you the friendship must develop slowly with a variety of meetings and conversations. If they look you over and decide they can trust you, then you remain in their hearts forever. If you need them, dogs will be there.
When the time is right, dogs work long and hard but they know how to relax and enjoy their home and loved ones. Dogs have playful moods and a great sense of humor. They have quick emotions and if you offend them they will snarl and insult you with expertise. They forgive with the same speed. Dogs are intelligent and well-balanced. With their stable minds they make good counselors or psychologists. They endure during any crisis situation. They are trustworthy people and know how to keep a secret. Being efficient and very diplomatic, they can hide their prejudices well. Most Dogs have a comfortable home and do well. Dogs always defend what is theirs and have a high sense of value. Home and family come first and dogs will work to see that they have the best!

We're expecting Samsung to announce the Galaxy Note 4 this fall at IFA in Berlin, as they've done with the Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, and Galaxy Note 3 in the last three years. But as always, it's never to early to see leaks, and today Sammobile posted some info about the Galaxy Note 4 that is pretty interesting. They also posted some info about the G906 which is thought to be the Galaxy S5 Prime or the Galaxy F. The G906 is said to be sporting an Exynos 5433 now instead of the 5430. It's still unclear what the difference is between the two chips. Sammobile also states that the G906 isn't a successor to the Galaxy S5 in the traditional sense. Which goes along with what Evleaks stated a few weeks ago where the Galaxy F is replacing the Galaxy S line of smartphones. They also mention that the most current variation of the G906 features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 along with a FHD display, so no 2k just yet.
Now the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be the N910, and will be coming out in two hardware variants as expected. China, Japan, Korea and North American markets will be getting the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 models. For the US, they breakdown as trltespr for Sprint, trlteatt for AT&T, trltetmo for T-mobile, trltevzw for Verizon and trlteusc for US Cellular. Other regions will get the Exynos 5433 SoC on board. Which has been typical of Samsung lately. Since they don't get LTE working on their chips before they start using them in devices. You'd think they'd fix that seeing as they aren't even selling the Exynos version of the Galaxy Note 4 in their home country.
Other specs include a 16-megapixel OIS camera on the back and the sensor is made by Sony, as well as a Quad HD AMOLED display, however Sammobile was unable to tell us how big the display is. And that's about all we know so far on the specs of the Galaxy Note 4. But it's looking like it's what we expected the Galaxy S5 to be earlier this year, with the QHD display and Snapdragon 805.

Barrelhouse owners hope to provide economically sound business with character to community
By ALEX JACKS
In the heart of Fondren, where art, entertainment and, most important, fine dining take a front seat, sits the newest hub that combines all three characteristics.
Barrelhouse, named for its exposed barrel rolled ceiling and prominent Cajun cuisine roots, recently opened on the Fondren strip. Marty Clapton and Andrew Kehoe, the owners of the establishment, classify Barrelhouse as a Southern gastropub.
Kehoe, who also servers as the restaurant's general manager, said the food covers a little bit of every cuisine type, but primarily focuses on Southern and Cajun.
"The menu is not very in depth when it comes to the number of options, but is in depth with flavor and style," he said. "For instance, we have a meatball menu on the main menu, which is something different that we offer."
Stephen Kruger is the executive chef of Barrelhouse and is the mastermind behind the restaurant's unusually fun dishes, Kehoe said.
"He has done an outstanding job to help create dishes around our concept," he said.
Barrelhouse's bestselling dish aligns itself with Kehoe's vision of providing another form of flavor to Fondren.
"So far our bestseller is our Ahi Tuna Poké Nachos," he said. "Yes, tuna nachos!"
As for the drinks, Barrelhouse offers an array of cocktails, wine and beer.
"We have a nice little cocktail list that is a little more Bourbon forward, but we are not necessarily a Bourbon bar," Kehoe said. "Some of the drinks are named from places in the neighborhood, just trying to keep it fun. We have a small and simple wine list that I want to grow some here and there. Our draft beer has 12 lines and comes in a decent size bottle, can or bomber selection."
Clapton, a local real estate broker, originally planned on leasing out the space Barrelhouse is located in, not becoming a restaurateur. After brainstorming with Kehoe — who previously worked with an investment group to open Fondren Public — the two men formed the idea behind Barrelhouse.
"Limited existing real estate in the Fondren area led to the location," Kehoe said. "Our space was the last open spot at the time on the main strip that could handle a restaurant, so here we are."
The concept and name behind the restaurant came from an unexpected historical finding within the building.
"When we got the space, there was a four inch thick drop-down plaster ceiling covering all of the exposed wood and steel trusses," Kehoe said. "Marty poked a hole in the ceiling early on and we saw what was being hidden from sight. Finding the original ceiling helped us develop the concept and style of what we wanted."
In the past, the property was once a Universal Fitness, an antiques market and a few other businesses in between, Kehoe said.
"The space was built in 1946 and the barrel rolled ceiling you now see was the original ceiling," he said. "Having that drop down ceiling for the past 70 years helped preserve the wood. We stained and sealed the wood before we opened."
In Kehoe's opinion, the history of the space adds to the character of Barrelhouse and Fondren.
"We want to be another place that continues to add to the flavor of Fondren," he said. "The first thing that strikes me about Barrelhouse is the atmosphere and design. There really isn't another restaurant in town that has the rustic warehouse feel. Our three-inch-thick Cypress bar top, steel trusses, Sputnik chandeliers, front side walk patio, good food and drink all help add to the beauty of Barrelhouse and the community."
Kehoe said one of his primary goals in opening Barrelhouse was to bring another thriving, economically sound business to the area.
"We hope to bring another successful local business to Jackson and the Fondren neighborhood," he said. "Fondren is continuing to evolve into something very special, and we just want to do what we can to add another spot to the landscape."
Barrelhouse is located at 3009 North State St. in Jackson. The restaurant is open Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to midnight and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to midnight. For more information about Barrelhouse or to view the full menu, visit www.barrelhousems.com.
