Spring is almost here, but we're still in that in-between stage where there's plenty of sunshine but still not a lot of seasonal fruit to enjoy. It's times like these that I look to the kind of flavors that are easily available all year 'round, and never fail to please.
Mocha is just one of these flavors. The rich chocolate and roast-y coffee notes are always a hit. Make these mocha cream puffs for your next special occasion—your guests will be so impressed!
I couldn't make this fabulous dessert without help from my KitchenAid® 5 Burner Gas Convection Slide-In Range! The dough and the pastry cream all happen on the stovetop, and the puffs bake to a golden brown perfection in the oven using the Even-Heat™ True Convection technology.
Start by making the mocha pastry cream—this way it has plenty of time to chill. Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, instant espresso granules, and a pinch of salt. During this time, warm milk in the 1.5-Quart Saucepan from the KitchenAid® Stainless Steel 10-Piece Set over medium-low heat.
Whisk in the hot milk, a little at a time, to gently warm and temper the egg yolks. Once all the milk has been added, transfer the mixture back to the Saucepan and cook it over low heat until it's thickened.
Remove it from the heat, stir in the vanilla, and then strain the pastry cream through a fine mesh sieve. Allow it to chill for at least 2 hours. While it's chilling, start on the choux pastry.
Place water, butter, sugar, and salt in the 3-Quart Saucepan from the Stainless Steel 10-Piece Set, and bring it to a simmer.
Stir in the flour, just until the dough gathers itself into a ball and pulls away from the sides of the Saucepan.
At this point, transfer the steaming hot dough to the KitchenAid® Stand Mixer, fitted with the flat beater. Mix on medium-low speed, adding the eggs one at a time. Allow each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next.
Once the eggs are worked in, spoon or pipe the choux puffs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. They should be about 2 inches in diameter, but they'll really puff up a lot as they bake.
Pop them into the Slide-In Range and let them bake until golden brown, puffed, and dry-looking. The Slide-In Range bakes these pastries so evenly, and they come out perfectly golden and gloriously puffed every time.
Once they're completely cool, slice off their tippy-tops and fill the well inside with the creamy mocha filling.
To finish the filling, whip the heavy cream in the Stand Mixer with the whisk attachment. It should be thick enough to hold soft peaks.
Fold the whipped cream into the mocha pastry cream. Then spoon it into the cooled cream puff shells.
Drizzle with chocolate syrup and dust with powdered sugar for a presentation that's sure to impress your guests!

Mocha Cream Puffs
Makes 14 servings
For the filling
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoon instant espresso granules
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the choux puffs
1 cup water
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all purpose flour
4 large eggs
For the garnish
3 tablespoons (approximately) chocolate syrup
2 tablespoons (approximately) powdered sugar
For the filling
Place the egg yolks, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, espresso granules, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
Heat the milk in a 1.5-Quart Saucepan from the KitchenAid® Stainless Steel 10-Piece Set over medium-low heat on the KitchenAid® 5 Burner Gas Convection Slide-In Range. Heat until small bubbles form around the edge and wisps of steam are rising from the surface.
Add the hot milk to the egg mixture, a little at a time, whisking to combine. When all the milk has been added, transfer the mixture back to the Saucepan and place over medium-low heat.
Cook the pastry cream, whisking, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour the pastry cream through a fine mesh strainer, into a heat-safe bowl. Use the back of a ladle to press the mixture through the sieve. Press a layer of plastic wrap directly onto the surface, and refrigerate until completely cool (about 2 hours).
Just before serving, whip the cream on medium speed in the KitchenAid® Stand Mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment, until it holds stiff peaks. Fold the cooled pastry cream into the whipped cream. Spoon the filling into the cooled choux puffs.
For the choux puffs
Preheat the Slide-In Range to 425° F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
Place the water, butter, sugar, and salt in the 3-Quart Saucepan from the Stainless Steel 10-Piece Set. Cook over medium-high heat until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is simmering.
Add in the flour all at once and continue to cook, stirring for about 5 minutes, or until the dough gathers into a ball and a film begins to form on the bottom of the pot.
Transfer the mixture to the bowl of the Stand Mixer, fitted with the flat beater, and beat on medium speed.
Drop in the eggs, one at a time. Beat on medium speed, allowing each egg to become fully incorporated before adding the next (about 30 seconds to a minute).
Pipe or spoon the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing about 3 inches in between each puff. Bake in the Slide-In Range for 30-35 minutes or until very dry looking, puffed, and deep golden brown.
For the garnish
Cool completely, then split horizontally and fill with mocha cream. Garnish with chocolate syrup and powdered sugar.

Photo: Can you see the chip in the rim of this here bowl? Not a big deal, right? That's what I said.
First, before I get into my little tale, I must start with an apology. Boy Scouts ate my weekend, starting promptly on Friday afternoon. I had planned my day for writing Quiet Thoughts in the evening, but crossed lines and mixed signals led to parents needing to be two places at once in order for two little boys to have fun at Scouts. Saturday was just as busy and Sunday just as busy still. All Scouts related. I'm so sorry, Dear Reader. I try not to let the Quiet Thoughts slip.
So, instead of waiting until this Friday to tell this story, I'll tell it today.
You see, the bowl pictured to the left was Grandy's bowl. It was her fruit bowl. Home to many an apple, orange, and banana over the years. I brought it home with me this summer and have been using it as a serving bowl. It's the perfect size for spaghetti and meatballs, the hands-down favorite of two little boys. I think Grandy probably loves to know that the bowl gets so much use in service to her great-grands.
Anyway, last Saturday after the Greatest Birthday Party of All Time, I went to the grocery store to purchase meatball things, came home and got to cooking. Yes, that's exhausting and ridiculous, but I'll remind you that my in-laws were here. Cooking usually means that I don't have to do stuff with my in-laws. This is not a bad thing, even if it's exhausting.
My in-laws were here for a specific purpose: The Husband has been working on the downstairs bathroom and wanted some assistance with putting up the drywall. My father-in-law is pretty handy. We figured we'd invite the in-laws up to help with the bathroom and they could be here for Major's big birthday. Pretty good deal.
Despite the fairly slow progress (they didn't get nearly as much done as hoped), my father-in-law was pretty helpful. My mother-in-law… well, she did her best to make sure she was as uncomfortable as possible. I don't know why she drives 8 hours from Maryland to come up here and make a point to not be comfortable while she's here. She doesn't want to talk, she doesn't want to play with the kids, she just wants to stare at her phone or read her book at the dining room table. I, having learned my lesson from the other times she's been up here, didn't pay her not a bit of mind. I kept myself busy.
On Saturday night, I put the boys to bed and got into bed myself. The Husband stayed downstairs with his parents. Eventually they left (they insist on staying at a hotel when they come up here), and The Husband came upstairs.
"I have to tell you something," he said. I barely looked up from the book I was reading. "Hm?"
"Mom chipped Grandy's bowl. She said she is so sorry."
It was one of those moments where the air goes out of the room. But the brain took over pretty quickly. He said chipped, not broke. And furthermore, "I fixed it! It's not a big chip. I took some Gorilla Glue to it. You can still tell something happened there, but it isn't that bad."
I nodded. I was exhausted. There was church in the morning. And I really do try not to hate this woman. So I breathed and I turned my heart over to forgiveness and I said I'd look at it in the morning. What you see is how the bowl looks.
It is really and actually not a big deal. I told my husband so in the morning. I thanked him for fixing the bowl. All was well.
We went to church. The in-laws were met us there for service. She wouldn't even look at me when I got into the pew. We listened to a great service, said the Nicene Creed, repented our sins and were absolved of them. Then came The Peace. I turned to my mother-in-law full forgiveness in all sincerity in my heart and in my face.
"I am just so, so sorry about the bowl," she said.
"It's not a big deal. I looked at it this morning and it's–"
She threw up her hands, defensive. "We'll talk about it later. We'll talk about it later."
"Ok, if you want, but it's not a big–"
"We'll talk about it later!"
Well, later came. After church, after everyone got changed and I was standing in my kitchen making everyone lunch. Here she comes, phone in hand. "I am so sorry about Grandy's bowl."
I stopped what I was doing, calm and sincere. "It's really not a big deal. I'm grateful that you care so much, but it's such a small–"
"It's just that I know how much these things can mean to people and I think you should have that bowl forever. You should have it on your table forever."
"And I will," I said. "It's just fine. [The Husband] fixed it and it's really not that notic–"
"Well I was on the internet last night and I found this place in Delaware and people send there stuff there for restoration and I think you should send the bowl there."
I snorted. "I hardly think that's appropriate. Have you seen the chip, it's not–"
"Well, I'll send you the link. I'll just send you the link. If you want to send it, I'll pay for it."
And then she she scurried away, a mouse running from a cat. Ten minutes later, she sent me an email with a link.
My mother-in-law has decided that I'm the antagonist in her own personal story. It's a ridiculous thing and I don't know why it happened. It has taken me years of working on myself to learn that this isn't about me, this is about her. I cannot control the way she behaves. I cannot fix her. I don't have time or energy to try. It's hard enough to live here and do what I do. I don't need her shit. I've removed people from my life for less.
What I do resent about my mother-in-law, however, is that she has successfully figured out how to make me feel like a monster in my own home. Her passive-aggression is so damn masterful that she has successfully painted herself as the ultimate victim. I can do no right. Even forgiveness is somehow aggression. It's incredible and infuriating and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.
My Quiet Thoughts would have been about apologies. I would have said that the lesson is that you should just say that you're sorry and then accept whatever is given to you, forgiveness or rebuke. Just accept it if you're truly sorry. I suppose that's still the Quiet Thought, even if it simmers and stews, even weeks later. Lordy.
Anyway, it's over. I still have my bowl. I have many items of Grandy's in this house, and the bowl is not the most precious of them. I tried to explain that. If she'd have listened, she'd be fine. I suppose that's the other lesson, which I tell my boys all the time: listen with your ears and not with your mouth.
I feel like there is a dude in Virginia who could use that bit of advice right about now.
Be careful out there, Dear Reader. Until Wednesday, take care.

The petrochemical industry that deal completely in producing of chemical compound using oil and natural gas as raw materials occupies a major portion in industrial sectors
. The petrochemical industry is spread all across the world. The necessities of these industry is so high because the produced Petrochemicals can be further used in thousands of industrial and consumer products and this may include plastics, rubber, fertilizers, detergents, dyes, textiles, bags and solvents. When raw material is used for creation of basic petrochemicals, these products are further used as materials that may be directly used in other industries for manufacturing of other products. This also includes Base oil sn500.
It is sure that there are many nations like Canada and USA where the standard of living is highly dependent on this segment. A significant increase in the degree of domestic petrochemical production has made a nice change in the economy of the countries. In those countries where there are scarcity of such industries. Petrochemicals products are imported and are a costly aspect.
Modern day of petrochemical industry
Even though these industry gain popularity in last few years but in recent years, the industry grew to supply the increasing demand for manufacturing of other products. Because the petrochemical products are base for several other manufacturing units there is a requirement of such industries in large numbers. Such elements are popular in various manufacturing fiems and this may include chemical based products. It is also widely used for manufacturing of Base oil Sn150 and other form of base oil.
With all this, it is equally useful in manufacturing of products like antifreeze, polyethylene, solvents and detergent, it is s used in as basic material in other manufacturing and industrial plant as well. It is because of this reason why there are so many petrochemical centres all around the world. The industry is growing and is heavily in existence so that it can feed the need of raw material required around. There are many oil-refining plants that are set as successful and leading units. Meanwhile there are also some gas-based industry which is used to develop such products.
Even though petrochemical in itself a very useful substance used as raw material in many companies but is also a source of many compounds that can be considered as useful products for various purposes. it is simple that products like wax, ethanol, Bright stock 150 etc are also widely used.

Update – Residential Tenancies Act Reform
By Nafsika Palbas
13 November 2017
The Victorian Government has recently concluded its review of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (Vic) ("the Act").
On 8 October 2017 the Premier of Victoria Daniel Andrews announced an initial set of reforms which the government proposes to introduce. These changes include:
- Landlords can only increase the rent every 12 months. This is currently every 6 months.
- Landlords and agents must advertise the property at a fixed price (no ranges or 'price plus' advertising) and cannot invite prospective tenants to make an offer at a price higher than the fixed price.
- A landlord and agent "blacklist" will be made publicly available so that tenants can identify landlords and agents who have breached their responsibilities under the Act.
- Landlords cannot include a "no pets" clause in tenancy agreements. Tenants will be allowed to have pets provided they have sought the landlord's prior approval (which cannot be unreasonably withheld). Tenants will be required to undertake cleaning and fumigation if there is pet-related damage to the property that goes beyond fair wear and tear.
- Tenants can apply to the Residential Tenancy Bond Authority (RTBA) to have:
- Their bond released up to 14 days before the end of their tenancy. This is currently 7 days.
- All or part of their bond released within 14 days without the landlord's consent, and if there is no dispute, the bond will be released.
- Landlords cannot require a bond of more than 1 month's rent where the weekly rent is less than double the median weekly wage (which is currently $760). Landlords must apply to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) to obtain an exemption to this.
- Landlords must reimburse tenants within 7 days for urgent repairs paid up to the authorised limit. This is currently 14 days.
- Currently landlords can end tenancy agreements for "no specified reason" provided they give 120 days notice to tenants. Landlords will now be required to give a reason.
- Tenants who receive an "End of Fixed Term" notice will be able to vacate the property on 14 days notice, rather than continuing to pay rent to the end of the fixed term.
- Landlords will be required to tell tenants of important information related to the property, including future plans to sell or if asbestos has previously been identified in the property. Tenants will be able to take landlords to VCAT if a landlord has failed to properly notify the tenants of these issues.
- Tenants can make minor modifications (such as installing wall hooks) provided they obtain the landlord's written consent (which cannot be unreasonably withheld). Landlords may request a qualified person undertake the modification.
The above are proposed reforms and have not been finalised. The Government is in the process of finalising the reforms and amendments to the Act and at present it is anticipated that the reforms will be introduced into parliament in 2018.
It is important that landlords, agents and tenants keep abreast of the reforms as they will significantly affect the rights and obligations of each party when passed by parliament.
We will monitor the progress of the reforms and provide updates in future Blogs.

In a previous article, I talked about the objective, organizational structure and responsibilities of the European Central Bank. Today, I aim to discuss how the ECB conducts monetary policy in the Eurozone. But let me start by discussing more in detail the price-stability objective and why it matters.
For the ECB, price stability means "a year-on-year increase in the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for the euro area of below 2%." You might be wondering how come the objective of stable prices involves a yearly increase of nearly 2% in the price level. This isn't a minor issue. After all, a 2% increase in prices every year results in the price level doubling every 35 years.
This counterintuitive interpretation of price stability has to do with central banks' fear of deflation, which could be defined as a general fall in the price level resulting from a decline in aggregate spending[1]. Deflationary scenarios have been historically associated with deep economic and financial crises (e.g., the Great Depression). As a result, the ECB tries to avoid deflationary pressures by targeting a relatively-small increase in the price level.
But why is price stability (however we define it) so important? Simple: because it helps anchor the expectations of consumers and businesses, removing price-level uncertainty and facilitating economic calculation. Let me give you an example. If a bank believed that inflation was going to rise uncontrollably over the next decade, do you think it would be willing to make a loan to a business knowing that, by the time the bank gets its money back, this will be worth much less? Obviously not. The same reasoning can be applied to other economic agents. Price stability is thus essential to make sound investment and consumption decisions.
The ECB bases his policies on the idea that changes in the money supply (the amount of money in circulation, including bank reserves and money substitutes like deposits) have an impact on the price level. This is what economists call the neutrality of money: an increase or decrease in the money supply cannot affect long-term economic growth (i.e., it cannot make the economy more productive), but it does influence the price level. We will explain how this mechanism works further below.
The ECB possesses several tools aimed at controlling the amount of money in the economy in order to achieve its price-stability goal. First, the ECB can increase or decrease the monetary base via open market operations, which consist in the provision of liquidity to the banking system. The most important are the so-called main refinancing operations (MRO) through which the ECB influences market interest rates, and more specifically, the rates at which banks lend to each other in the interbank lending market.
MRO work as follows. For the sake of the explanation, let's assume that the ECB aims to expand the monetary base (i.e., print new euros). The ECB sets an interest-rate target for the interbank lending market compatible with its price-stability goal. It then lends money to banks against collateral (usually short-term government bonds) at a fixed or variable interest rate (the so-called MRO rate). This increases the amount of bank reserves, pushing down the rates at which banks lend to each other (more funds available from which to borrow result in lower interest rates). The ECB continues to expand the monetary base until it reaches its interest-rate target.
As long as demand for credit continues to grow[2], increasing reserves should have an expansionary effect on banks' balance sheets: banks will increase their lending to the private sector, thereby increasing the money supply as new deposits are created in the process of lending[3]. This in turn will lead to more investment and consumption, pushing prices up until reaching the level desired by monetary authorities.
Second, the ECB can adjust the minimum reserve requirements for banks. Banks are compelled to maintain a fraction of deposits in cash reserves to avoid illiquidity issues. The lower the reserve requirements, the more reserves banks will have available to fund new loans[4]. Finally, the ECB provides two standing facilities: the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility. Banks can resort to the former if they run out of cash reserves at the end of the day and can't obtain them in the interbank lending market. The deposit facility pays interest to banks for depositing money with the ECB. The lower these rates, the higher the incentives for banks to expand the money supply.
As shown, the ECB fine-tunes three different interest rates (the MRO rate, the deposit facility rate and the marginal lending facility rate) in order to influence market rates and achieve the 2%-inflation goal. In addition, it can increase or reduce the minimum reserve requirements to adjust the total amount of reserves in the system. However, over the last years, the ECB has drawn upon non-conventional monetary tools that it had never used before. I will examine these tools in the next article.
[1] There is another type of deflation (supply-side deflation) that results from productivity increases (i.e., decreases in production costs). Many economists consider supply-side deflation positive as it is the result of economic growth. See, for instance, this article by George Selgin: https://www.alt-m.org/2016/05/16/monetary-policy-primer-part-4-stable-prices-vs-stable-spending/.
[2] Low interest rates, low economic and political uncertainty and expectations of future profits tend to increase demand for credit.
[3] Contrary to conventional wisdom, banks don't need new deposits or reserves to make new loans. On the contrary, banks create new deposits (expand the money supply) every time they give out a loan. This doesn't mean, however, that banks can expand their balance sheets indefinitely. Imagine that bank A gives out a new loan to a business that plans to use the money to buy a new machine. After making the purchase, the funds will be transferred from bank A to bank B, where the seller of the machine has an account. At the end of the day (when settlement among banks takes place), bank A will need to have enough reserves (or at least borrow them from other banks or the ECB) to settle its debt with bank B.
[4] As pointed out in the previous footnote, this doesn't mean that banks lend their own reserves. Instead, they use them to settle their debts with other financial institutions. Yet a higher level of reserves allows banks to expand their balance sheets provided that there exists demand for new credit.

At just 7 inches wide when cocked, the Nitro XRT shoots 370-grain arrows at an impressive 470 fps and delivers 25 percent flatter arrow trajectory, resulting in impressive downrange accuracy and exceptional knock-down power.
The Nitro XRT is engineered with a reverse draw bow assembly featuring a center-mounted riser that provides superior balance. By shifting the riser from the front of the crossbow to its center, the design eliminates the "nose-heavy" feel of traditional crossbows, making it easier to hold steady and keep the crosshairs locked on target. The reverse draw design is also more efficient than traditional crossbows; drawing the string through the riser creates an elongated power stroke, which generates greater speeds with less poundage, leading to a smoother, lower-vibration shot that TenPoint says is 3 times quieter than competing models.
TenPoint Nitro XRT Crossbow Package Features:
Optics: EVO-X Marksman Scope mounted on a machined aluminum 7/8-inch Fixed Dovetail Mount
- Cocking Device: ACUdraw PRO cocking device
- Quiver: 3-Arrow Instant Detach Quiver; ambidextrous side-mount quiver bracket
- Arrows: Six Evo-X CenterPunch premium carbon arrows with 100-grain practice points
- Noise Dampening: Integrated String Stop System

I got my shop updated last week with a few new items. I was thinking that I would blog about it the day after. Well, it has been almost a week! Better later that never! The colors are deep and intense.
Show girl is sold.
As Bette Midler sings in "The showgirl must go on":
There's a lesson that I learned, boys
A long, long time ago
Like every girl who's working in
The business we call show
It's a rule I live by
And baby, so should you
If the show, it must go on
The showgirl goes on…
This roving is a blend of 60% Merino and 40% Bamboo.
I got inspired with this painting by René Magritte
Australia is sold. This is a rich and earthy colorway. When I saw the movie "Australia" with Nicole Kidman, I had a clear idea of what colors to use to recreate a colorway that resembles the warm and richness of this wonderful country.
My illustrious lordship, I'll show you what a woman can do.

Lord of the Rings – Pippin
Pippin was the only hobbit who had not yet reached his 'coming of age' when the Fellowship set out (being eight years younger than Merry, while Frodo himself was 50 years of age) and was therefore still in his 'tweens'. He was a worthy accomplice to Merry's plans, but showed his youth as well; he was still a cheerful, if occasionally thoughtless Hobbit, and was first to miss the comforts of Hobbit life. At Rivendell, Elrond almost denied Pippin the chance to accompany Frodo, nearly deciding to send Pippin and Merry as messengers to the Shire. Gandalf, however, supported his and Merry's claims of friendship and loyalty, and they were chosen as the last members of the Fellowship.

A while ago, I crushed some of my Azurite. As I mentioned in a previous post, when I tried doing using the tried and true slurry technique, it made bubbles and a lot floated on top, similar to flour being poorly mixed with water. I let the pigment settle & water evaporate. As you can see in the photos, the slurry technique doesn't seem to be working well with water. I could try alcohol because it has a lower surface tension. The only problem is that even if it works better, I really don't want to make rubbing alcohol from scratch! I think I'd need a distillery license for that. So, maybe I need to try the soap technique.

I downloaded the new image on 5/13 and suffered the same "command not found" error. Good to have a fix. Which fix do I use? Am I running RPI or Debian?
You need the fix for the RPI.
The only people that are running the Debian port are those who I gave a custom installation script to. The script to run on a normal Debian server is not released to the public… yet. Well, technically, if you know where to look on your Pi, it's there. I'm using the same repository for both ports.

I am getting "command not found" when I type system update. Running a git checkout -f, a "git add ." and a "git pull" does not fix the problem, is there any way I can get my sytem update working again?
This should *never* happen! However, that being said, here's what to do.
If you're running the RPI:
1. cd /usr/src/utils/Allstar-build/rpi
2. chmod +x ./make-links.sh

Please do not run a system-update as of May 13th, 2016. Raspbian updated their image, and it breaks AllStar. If you are a current node owner, please stay tuned for a fix.

Democrats battle for Downriver seats of term-limited state representatives
Large numbers of Democrats are competing to replace two term-limited House lawmakers in suburban Wayne County in the Aug. 7 primary as the party seeks to wrest control of the state House from Republicans in the fall.
Although most House primary races in the outer county are uncontested or only have two candidates, District 12 and 16 appear to have the most interest from Democrats. Each Democrat-leaning district has four Democratic candidates vying for the seat with Republicans running unopposed.
Residents in those communities are likely more energized about politics, making the races more competitive, said Lansing-based Target Insyght pollster Ed Sarpolus.
But Sarpolus said the public should not assume that local elected officials have the edge in battles with political outsiders.
"Candidates with name recognition and money are the ones leading the polls," said Sarpolus, adding that heavy grassroots campaigning will also help candidates win the primary. "Also, are they connected to the community that they are in?"
District 12
A Romulus lawyer and the leader of the Taylor City Council are among the candidates vying to replace term-limited Rep. Erika Geiss, D-Taylor, in Michigan's House District 12, which covers Romulus, Taylor and part of Van Buren Township.
Republican Michelle Bailey, of Taylor, will face the winner of the Democratic primary in the fall.
Democrat Alexandria Taylor is an attorney who runs her own law firm in downtown Detroit. The former member of the Romulus charter commission said she considers herself a political outsider and could bring a fresh perspective to the state Legislature.
"That's why you don't have real people in office because you have political establishments," said Taylor, 37. "We need someone from the outside who is not indebted to these corporate interests to really come in and change some things."
Taylor, a mom of three, said public schools are underfunded and wants to reexamine the state's funding formula. The quality of education should not be based on someone's zip code, she said.
Taylor City Council President Alex Garza said his experience in local leadership would allow him to offer insight in the Michigan Capitol on the financial challenges cities face in providing services. He has been endorsed by the United Auto Workers union, Michigan AFL-CIO and Sierra Club.
The 24-year-old Garza said when he first took office in 2013, he was the youngest person elected to the council. He has previously worked as director of constituent relations for the Michigan House of Representatives.
If elected, Garza said he will advocate for repealing the senior pension tax and getting more state revenue-sharing aid for municipalities. He also wants to see more funding for Michigan schools.
"How do we continue to cut dollars for education when we aren't making the mark with our kids?" Garza said. "We need to get back to the days where Michigan was known as an education powerhouse for people to move their families."
Gov. Rick Snyder has boosted state education aid in recent years to highest mark in history, but Democrats have argued it hasn't been enough to make a different in local districts.
Democrats Lauretha Shelton of Taylor and Tomeko Boles of Romulus are also running for the seat but didn't respond to requests for comment.
District 16
A longtime city councilman and a former campaign worker for ex-President Barack Obama are among those competing to replace outgoing Rep. Robert Kosowski, D-Westland. The district covers Wayne and part of Westland.
"Lansing is broken," said Westland City Council member Bill Johnson, 68, a former United Auto Workers building chairman.
The councilman said he wants to see more state funding for schools and contractual rights for teachers, public safety employees and firefighters. He said he objects to the idea of privatizing those services and workers.
"I believe that we are going to start getting what we pay for in those three groups," Johnson said.
He also wants to see auto insurance rates reduced and repeal the retirement tax that affects seniors.
Michigan to fix its crumbling roads and beef up protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents under state law, said Jacob Johnson, 25, who works for the city of Wayne.
"I believe I'm going to bring someone who has an understanding of how government works," said Johnson, 25, a local program coordinator for the Water Residential Assistance Program. "I understand where the needs are and what the needs are."
If elected, he said he would advocate for more state revenue sharing so Wayne can expand its police force. The city currently has 20 officers, and Johnson said he would like to increase it to at least 30.
State leadership has failed retirees, teachers and middle-class families, said Mike McDermott, a small business recruiter who worked on the presidential campaigns of Obama and Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders.
If elected, McDermott said he will work to repeal the right-to-work law, protect collective bargaining rights and raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour from the current $9.25. He also wants to use any annual budget surplus to increase per student funding and improve Michigan's roads.
"I have been a committed Democrat for my whole life, working on dozens of Democratic campaigns," McDermott said. "I have detailed knowledge of how state government and policy works."
Democrat Kevin Coleman, 35, is a lifelong Westland resident and former City Council member. Coleman wants the state to provide more funding for Wayne-Westland Community Schools so they can hire more staff and have smaller class sizes.
He said he also plans to advocate for better access to health care for residents, more investment in fixing Michigan's roads and lowering the cost of auto insurance.
"I have built great relationships with our city, county and state legislators," Coleman said. "And I could hit the ground running in this position."
Republican Jody Rice-White of Westland faces the winner in the fall.
District 11
Democratic State Rep. Jewell Jones of Inkster faces Randy Walker of Garden City in the primary. Republican James Townsend faces the winner in the November election.
District 13
Democratic State Rep. Frank Liberati of Allen Park faces Asmaa Alhasani of Dearborn Heights. Republican Annie Spencer of Southgate faces the winner in the fall.
District 14
Democratic State Rep. Cara Clemente of Lincoln Park faces Mark Joseph Kremer of Wyandotte in the primary. Republican Darrell Stasik of Riverview is unopposed.
District 15
Democratic State Rep. Abdullah Hammoud is running unopposed and will face Republican Doug Mitchell of Deaborn in the fall election.
District 19
Democrat Dan Centers of Livionia will face Laurie Pohutsky in the primary. Republican Brian Meakin is running unopposed in this GOP-leaning district of term-limited State Rep. Laura Cox, R-Livonia.
District 20
Republican State Rep. Jeff Noble of Northville, who is unopposed in the primary, faces Democrat Matt Koleszar of Plymouth in the November election.
District 21
Republican Darian Moore of Canton Township will take on Democratic State Rep. Kristy Pagan this fall.
District 23
Democratic Sate Rep. Darrin Camilleri of Brownstown Township is unopposed in the primary and will face Republican Michael Frazier of Romulus, also running unopposed, in the November election.

Herman Cain Visit
{Cain's tour bus parked in W. J. Freeman Park}
This morning Herman Cain came to Bartlett to rally support for his 2012 presidential campaign. I work within walking distance of the Bartlett City Park which was where his 45 minute speech was given to local supporters. Cain spoke about his 999 plan and expressed his full support of Israel and our military. I especially liked his closing remarks, "In God we trust and In God is our trust." On his way out, my dad and I shook his hand and I took a couple of close-ups. God bless you, Mr. Cain!

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Pastor Mark continues the series "The Names of Jesus."
We see
1. His Fame. We are still celebrating Jesus 2000 years after His birth. He is famous.
2. His Shame. God's Son was given in sacrifice. Jesus was born to die.
3. His Claim. The government shall be His. Micah 5:2, Isaiah 9:7.
Does He have claim on your heart?
4. His Name. Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God (The Strong One, Our God-Hero), The
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
He is our Loving Support and Comfort, clothed in Splendor and Majesty!

- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil and add salt. Heat to 270 to 290 degrees F (132 to 143 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard but pliable threads.
- While the syrup is cooking, beat the egg whites in the metal bowl of an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. When the syrup is ready, set the mixer to low speed, remove the syrup from the heat, and pour it into the egg whites in a thin stream, blending continuously.

Mix in almonds and press nougat into prepared dish and chill in refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the caramels with 2 tablespoons water. Pour melted caramel over nougat. Chill in refrigerator 30 minutes.
- Cut the chilled candy into 14 oblong bars with a sharp knife. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate until melted. Stir occasionally until chocolate is smooth. Dip bars into melted chocolate, let cool 2 hours on wire rack or waxed paper.

Our second batch we substituted salted peanuts for the almonds and they were the hit of our family gathering. Thanks
Delicious! This is a 'must try' recipe for all of you who have a sweet tooth. I'd like to make a version with white chocolate and see if it tastes like a Zero candy bar (my favorite). Thanky...
Candy is hard to make but worth it! Taste great!
These were yummy. I think they would be a ton better with home made carmel. I wish the nouget was a little heavier but over all, they were yummy!
I used pistachios instead of almonds which were great. Still the candy texture just wasn't quite what I was expecting. Flavor was okay though, but probably won't make again. Sorry

Preparing for Our 250th Anniversary
November 10, 2014
Members of the Rutgers Community,
We are fast approaching Rutgers' 250th anniversary, which we will celebrate from November 2015 through November 2016. This milestone, which only seven other colleges in America have reached, will be an occasion to show our pride in Rutgers, thank our many supporters, remember our past, and reaffirm the values that have brought us to this moment and will take us forward. The anniversary is a major opportunity for us as well. Working together, we can shine a spotlight on our greatest strengths, build our reputation, support outstanding programs at Rutgers, and celebrate the accomplishments of our faculty, students, alumni, and staff.
Embracing the theme "Revolutionary for 250 Years," we have been making plans for Rutgers 250 for the past two years. Some long-term projects are already under way. An illustrated history of the University, with authors drawn from our own faculty and staff, is in production and will be in print by fall 2015. You can find more information and order the book at www.RU250.com/book. Professor Paul Clemens has also been preparing a new, updated edition of the Rutgers history that was originally written by his former colleague, legendary Rutgers professor Richard P. McCormick, and published during the University's bicentennial in 1966.
We are now making plans for a number of signature programs that will be undertaken during the anniversary. A few examples include a "Revolutionary Thinkers" lecture series that will bring game-changing achievers back to Rutgers; a "Rutgers around the World" global event; our anniversary commencement in May 2016; the expansion of Rutgers Day to a systemwide event at all of our universities for April 2016; and a special celebration on our 250th Charter Day on November 10, 2016.
We are also asking you, our faculty, staff, students, and alumni, to consider anniversary themes as you conceive and develop events that will take place during the course of that year. This is a terrific opportunity for the entire University, and Rutgers 250 should be a programmatic priority for all areas of Rutgers during the anniversary year. Most important, we want to know as soon as possible about the programs, events, conferences, special activities, and more that you are planning in connection with the 250th anniversary so we can make sure to include them in outreach and promotional efforts surrounding Rutgers 250. Please feel free to share your anniversary programs and events with Matt Weismantel, senior director of Rutgers 250, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You are also encouraged to make suggestions for the Revolutionary Thinkers lecture series, through which we are inviting back to campus individuals with Rutgers roots who have put forward ideas that have been revolutionary in their fields. The address for these suggestions is revolutionarythinkers(at)rutgers.edu.
We look forward to hearing about the programs that you and your organizations will be undertaking under the "Revolutionary for 250 Years" theme. Your participation in and support for our planning will ensure that we make our milestone anniversary memorable and rewarding.

Awaken A New Myth is a self-help book written to inspire and to inform you that the world we make for ourselves is a reflection of what we feel from within. Alongside pictures and affirmations, this book is really a book of wisdom with much useful information. A warrior is illustrating how to be present and accountable towards your own actions. The book also has a Hero's Journey which takes you on various steps in order to organize some train of events and thoughts that we encounter in life.
I found the work to be very interesting. It is definitely one to read if you are into meditation and find the philosophical aspect of the world to be of an intriguing nature. The content was easy to read and to follow. The literature, on the other hand, was unique to its nature and worked very well with the formation of the book.
In addition to everything mentioned above, the book also touches on psychological awakening. It is divided into four sections which begin with a list of what you expect and need on your journey. Life is categorized as the Goddess, the warrior, and the hero. Each category is explained, and I particularly enjoyed this part of the book.
I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys self-help books.

Sukumar and Allu Arjun have been close friends ever since they first collaborated with each other to make 'Arya'. The film went on to become a huge success and it was the turning point in both their lives in the film industry.
At the recent event of Darshakudu, a film which Sukumar has produced, Sukumar recalled an incident which occurred while shooting Arya and said that Bunny gave him a new life. "During the shoot, there was a scene which we were supposed to shoot on a boat. In the middle of the shoot, I fell into the river and everyone around me just kept looking at me. Only Allu Arjun jumped into the water to save me from drowning. It's because of me that he became a hero in real life too," Sukumar said in a jovial manner.
Darshakudu, starring Ashok, Eesha, is slated for release on August 4. Dil Raju is releasing the film.

If you have always wanted to do better than your friends in Runescape then you might want to consider investing in osrs ios. A lot of people don't know but when you have your own Runescape Private Servers you can modify the rules of the game based on what you think will work best for you. There are certain areas that you know you aren't really good at and you can eliminate them so that you will not have to perform badly and if there are certain things that you know you are extremely good at you can double the points for those areas so that you know you will be able to grab the most amount of points.
This server is very convenient to use and because you can modify the rules of the game you become a champion in the game in no time. Only you as an owner will know that you will be able to modify these rules and nobody who rents out server space on your server will be able to figure out which means that while your points are increasing they still get the same normal points as on any other server.
Runescape is one of those games that is never going to go out of style and no matter how many games are introduced in its place and may claim to be better version of it, this game is not going to fade away so investing in a Runescape Server is not going to do you any harm. When you purchase this server you are sure to be able to recover your money that you spent on the server in no time as well because you will have enough space to rent out to other players to play. Renting a server costs a lot of money and when you are the one who is renting it out you can charge just as much as any other person who runs out server space does.

Missing Ratna Bhandar key: Was replacing SJTA chief a damage control move?
Bhubaneswar: The corridors of power are buzzing with speculations over removal of Pradeep Jena as Chief Administrator of the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) amid the ongoing controversy over the missing Ratna Bhandar key.
Discussions are on whether Odisha government's decision to remove Pradeep Jena was because of administrative lapses or a mere damage control move.
At a meeting of the Sri Jagannath Temple Managing Committee on April 4, it was recorded that the keys of the inner chamber of the Ratna Bhandar had gone missing; however, SJTA accepted the fact on June 4, after Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik ordered a judicial probe.
The silence of Jena for over two months could be one of the reasons behind his ouster. But what is seemingly clear is the fact that Jena paid the price of the criticism directed at the State government over mismanagement of Srimandir affairs.
In the meantime, after Jena's removal, political parties have trained their guns at each other.
"The government has accepted its incompetence but what good will appointment of Mohapatra in place of Jena do," questioned Odisha BJP vice-president, Sameer Mohanty.
"How serious is the government on the issue? The key will not be recovered or the jewellery will not return back to the Ratna Bhandar with the transfer of a person. It is an attempt of the government to divert the attention of the people," said Congress MLA, Prafulla Majhi.
In response to the allegations, BJD Spokesperson Sameer Das said, "Transfer of the chief administrator is a regular affair and there is nothing to ponder about it. There is no pressure on the government."
Earlier on Monday, Pradipta Kumar Mohapatra replaced Jena as the chief administrator of SJTA.
The newly-appointed administrator now faces major challeges including resolution of the Ratna Bhandar issue, implementation of Supreme Court's order on temple management and preparation of a blueprint for smooth management and conduct of the annual Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath scheduled to be held on July 14.
"As the government has given me the responsibility my aim will be to perform my duty. The main focus will be to conduct Rath Yatra on time," said Mohapatra.

The Tinon vineyard has been a winegrowing property since the 18th century. It is located on hills overlooking the right bank of the Garonne river in the Sainte Croix du Mont appellation area.
The Bridet family bought Château La Grave with its 12 hectares (30 acres) in 1929.
At that time, the vineyard consisted of 6 hectares (15 acres) of which 5 produced Sainte Croix du Mont AOC sweet white wine.
Gradually the vineyard became organised and neighbouring plots were added to reach 13 hectares (32 acres) by 1970 when the third Bridet-Tinon generation took over.
In 1977, Château Grand Peyrot with its 5 hectares (121/2 acres) was added to the existing vineyard.
Since 1990, new plots have been added bringing the total area today to 25 hectares (62 acres) all of which are in the commune of Sainte Croix du Mont.

Once a year, the leadership of both the European Central Bank and the United States Federal Reserve go to the mountains for policy enlightenment.In retrospect, this year's remarks from on high by ECB President Mario Draghi and Fed Chair Jerome Powell provide insight into the global outlook and the two banks' recent policy actions, which have been coincident, but not coordinated.InThat assessment led the Fed to hike the policy interest rate by a quarter-point four times.When the Fed is set on tightening as other central banks hug the effective lower bound of their nominal policy rates, the dollar's value rises.When the Fed tightens its policy, other central banks do not always follow, preferring to allow their currencies to depreciate.As a consequence, when the Fed pivoted, all other major central banks followed. Probably to Powell's deep and never-to-be-expressed frustration, the Fed is setting monetary policy in a way that increases the likelihood that Trump will be re-elected next year.Its mandate of sustainable economic growth thus requires Powell to attempt to offset the effects of policy uncertainty under Trump.

Commercial Ant Control Auckland

Are ants invading your business?
If you own a cafe, restaurant, or other establishment that deals with food, an ant infestation can ruin your reputation. Even retail stores, warehouses, and property portfolios look worse for wear when overrun with ants. Rather than letting customers or clients lay their eyes on the infestation, it's important to deal with it immediately.
Don't let ants make themselves at home.
Even if you're only suffering from a small infestation, it's a good idea to treat it quickly and effectively by enlisting the help of a commercial pest control technician. Ant colonies can grow in size with astonishing speed – especially if they're Pharaoh ants – and they become harder to eliminate as they become more established.
Our ant control specialists are trained to identify the exact species of ant, as well as the scale of the infestation and where it originated from. On this basis, we come up with a targeted strategy that doesn't just kill lots of ants – it kills every last one of them, and puts an end to the colony.
Fix the problem with commercial ant control.
The team at EP Services has been helping Kiwi businesses with ant infestations for more than ten years. New Zealand conditions bring a unique set of problems and considerations, and every building requires a different approach if the ants are to be successfully eliminated. We avoid the one-size-fits-all treatments that many contractors offer, preferring instead to come up with a solution that's tailored to your commercial space.
Our ant control methods comply with all health and safety standards, and we go above and beyond to ensure that only the ants are harmed.
