Why Eat It
Many people eat sweet potatoes only on Thanksgiving, and that's a shame, since they're among the most nutritious of vegetables. Their bright color is a key to their high beta-carotene content, and they also contain the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. Eaten with the skin, a baked sweet potato is an excellent fiber source (about half of which is soluble). And these naturally sweet treats supply substantial amounts of vitamins C and B6, and manganese, as well as a small amount of potassium.
There are two basic types of sweet potato: Moist (orange-fleshed) and dry (yellow-fleshed). The sweeter orange-fleshed sweet potato varieties dominate the U.S. market, but some people prefer the starchier yellow-fleshed types. The moist-fleshed potatoes are often called "yams," but this is a misnomer: The true yam (botanical family Dioscoreaceae) is a large (up to 100 pounds) root vegetable grown in Africa and Asia and rarely seen in the western world. However, common usage has made the term "yams" acceptable when referring to sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes---which are grown mainly in California, Louisiana, and New Jersey--are sold throughout the year, but are most abundant in the fall and early winter. Many stores feature sweet potatoes around Thanksgiving and Christmas time.
Sweet potatoes are also sold canned or frozen. The canned potatoes are usually packed in heavy syrup--"candied"--although some processors also pack them in water. Canned sweet potatoes are substantially lower in beta-carotene, vitamin C, and B vitamins than fresh ones.
Unless your produce market labels sweet potatoes as being orange- or yellow-fleshed, you may not be sure exactly what you're getting. Although the orange-fleshed type tends to be plumper and its skin a little redder (a hint of the orange flesh below), and the yellow-fleshed type a little narrower with a tan skin, when they aren't side by side, it's pretty difficult to judge the difference. In most instances, you can assume you're getting orange-fleshed sweet potatoes. If you are actively seeking the yellow-fleshed, you should ask the produce manager.
Select sweet potatoes that are heavy for their size, and buy similar-sized potatoes if you plan to cook them whole, so that the cooking time will be uniform. Choose potatoes that are smooth, hard, and free of bruises or decay, which may appear as shriveled or sunken areas or black spots. Even if cut away, a decayed spot may have already imparted an unpleasant flavor to the entire potato.
Despite their rugged appearance, sweet potatoes have a thin skin that is easily damaged, and they are subject to rapid spoilage. To help preserve them, growers cure them--that is, they store them at a high temperature and humidity for about 10 days before sending them to market. This process also enhances the vegetable's natural sweetness. After purchase, sweet potatoes should be kept in a cool (55°F to 60°F), dry place, such as a cellar, pantry, or garage--never in the refrigerator, where they may develop a hard core and an "off" taste. In fact, when sweet potatoes are stored at low temperatures, their natural sugars turn to starch, which does nothing to enhance their flavor.
Sweet potatoes will keep for a month or longer if stored at 55°F; if kept at normal room temperature, they should be used within a week of purchase.
Sweet potatoes may be somewhat dirty, especially if bought at a farmstand or a farmers' market. You should brush off any excess dirt before storing, but don't wash the potatoes until you are ready to cook them, as the moisture will hasten spoilage.
Cooked sliced or mashed sweet potatoes can be frozen; add a little lemon juice to keep them from darkening and pack them into freezer containers.
Moist- and dry-fleshed sweet potatoes are interchangeable in most recipes (except in baked goods, where the difference in the moisture content might be critical).
Scrub the potatoes under cold running water before cooking.
Baking: Pierce the potatoes with a fork before baking to let the steam escape from them. To speed clean-up, place the potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet to catch the sticky juices that ooze from them as they bake. Cooking time: 30 to 60 minutes in a 400°F oven, depending on size.
Boiling: If you cook the potatoes whole, there's no need to peel them first; the thin skins will slip off easily when the potatoes are done, leaving most of the nutrients intact. The skin is edible, however, and supplies additional dietary fiber. Cooking times: for whole potatoes, 15 to 35 minutes; for chunks, 10 to 15 minutes.
Microwaving: Wash the potatoes and pierce them several times with a fork, then place it on a paper towel. When you take the potatoes out of the oven, wrap in foil and let stand for five to 10 minutes. Cooking times: for two medium potatoes, five to nine minutes; for four, 10 to 13 minutes.

The immigration policy of President Trump has been called hard-line, devastating, cruel, un-American, and anti-family. People are quick to offer their opinions but slow to dive into the actual legislation to discover what it really says. Today we will do just that: dive in. On August 3, Trump announced his support of S. 1720, a bill introduced by Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas and co-sponsored by Senator David Perdue of Georgia, two Republicans. Trump said: "This legislation demonstrates our compassion for struggling American families who deserve an immigration system that puts their needs first and puts America first." He called it the "RAISE Act;" short for "Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy Act." The RAISE Act was initially introduced to the Senate back in February and was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. It was then revised and reintroduced in August. Trump's adviser Stephen Miller and former adviser Steve Bannon promoted and helped shape the bill. Many have dismissed this bill because it has not attracted any additional co-sponsors, and Republican leaders in Congress have no plans to vote on it in 2017. However, the bill remains relevant as it gives insight into the thoughts of the President and other leading figures on their ideal immigration system. Additionally, although this bill may not pass, it may influence another bill in the future. Section-by-section, the bill seeks to:
- Section 2: Eliminate the visa diversity lottery program.
- Section 3: Enforce the 50,000 annual refugee cap. 84,995 refugees entered the US in 2016.
- Section 4: Narrow the meaning of "immediate relatives".
- Section 5: Replace the employment-based immigration system with a points-based immigration system
- Section 6: Add one prerequisite for naturalization
SECTION 1: SHORT TITLEThis is my favorite section. It states the short, "fun" title. This Act may be cited as the "Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy Act" or the "RAISE Act".
SECTION 2: ELIMINATES THE DIVERSITY IMMIGRANT VISA PROGRAMAfter Section 1, things start to get hairy quick. Section 2 eliminates the diversity visa program. The Diversity Immigrant Visa program, also known as the green card lottery, allows would-be immigrants to receive a United States Permanent Resident Card, or green cards, through a lottery system. This system was established in The Immigration Act of 1990. The lottery provides 50,000 green cards each year and aims to diversify the immigrant population in the United States. To do this it selects applicants from countries with low rates of immigration in the five years prior. Eligibility is determined by the applicant's birth country, not country of residence. Section 2 eliminates all of that.
"(a) In General.—Section 203 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1153) is amended by striking subsection (c)."It is blasted clear out of the water and not replaced.
SECTION 3: REMOVES EXCEPTIONS FOR THE ANNUAL REFUGEE CAP OF 50,000Section 3 establishes a refugee cap of 50,000 that kind of, debatably, already existed. At the very least, it removes exceptions to the 50,000 rule. This section makes major changes to 8 U.S.C. 1157. 1157 says: the number of refugees who may be admitted may not exceed fifty thousand . . . unless the President determines . . . that admission of a specific number of refugees in excess of such number is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest. But that clause apparently only applied to a few years in the early eighties. Ever since then Presidents have been welcoming however many refugees they want. (Take a look here for refugee numbers.) Also, President Trump has tried to cap the refugee intake at 50,000 in various ways already. So again, at the very least, this bill eliminates the options for the President to raise the cap for "grave humanitarian concerns" or the "national interest." The new code would read:
"(1) IN GENERAL.—The number of refugees who may be admitted under this section in any fiscal year may not exceed 50,000."Also, an interesting change: special discretionary decision-making power is transferred from the Attorney General to the Secretary of Homeland Security. So the Secretary of Homeland Security would be able to admit any refugee who is not firmly resettled in any foreign country, is determined to be of special humanitarian concern to the United States, and is otherwise admissible as an immigrant.
SECTION 4: LIMITS THE REACH OF FAMILY SPONSORED VISASThis section primarily narrows the meaning of "immediate relative." It effectively removes family-visa pathways for siblings and adult children of U.S. citizens and permanent residents to apply for permanent residency status in the U.S. It limits the family path to spouses and minor children. It redefines "immediate relative" as spouse and children under 18 years old. Whereas before it included children up 21, parents, and siblings.
"Family-sponsored immigrants described in this subsection are qualified immigrants who are the spouse or a child of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence."It allows for 88,000 immigrants minus the number of aliens paroled that did not depart and did not acquire the status of an alien lawfully admitted. It also deals with some rather complicated things like how many of these visas are subject to country limitation and when the visa of a dependent parent can be extended.
SECTION 5: REPLACES THE EMPLOYMENT-BASED IMMIGRATION SYSTEM WITH A POINTS BASED IMMIGRATION SYSTEMSection 5 establishes a point-system which would replace the employment-based system with the points based system. This is one of the more innovative or creative sections; the system is surprisingly simple. Notably, the caliber of immigrants accepted under the current employment-based system is already remarkably high. So, If the points-based system were implemented then a sufficiently large number of applicants would accrue enough points to maintain a large applicant pool — a large enough pool to keep the number of employment sponsored green cards the same. Raise keeps the current level of employment visas which is 140,000.
"(1) IN GENERAL.—The worldwide level of points-based immigrant visas issued during any fiscal year may not exceed 140,000."The points system invites any qualifying applicant to apply for submission into the eligible applicant pool. Applicants apply online and pay a $160 fee. An applicant is eligible if they accrue over 30 points. The applicants with the highest point counts are then siphoned off the top every six months until 140,000 people are admitted. Selected applicants are invited to submit another application which would include valid documentation, an attestation from the prospective employer, the annual salary being offered, a declaration that the job position is new or vacant, health insurance records, and a fee of $345. If the applicant is accepted, spouses, minor children, and dependent adult children can also be issued a visa. In regards to the points, the goal is to accrue 30 points. Points are allotted by status in each category.

|Changed lives change lives!
Last month, we traveled to the republic of Georgia. We were there to visit the team of Teen Challenge and they gave us a very warm welcome!
Georgia is a beautiful country with a rich history, culture and breathtaking scenery! Together with neighboring country Armenia they are the only Orthodox Christian country among islamic countries like Iran, Iraq, Syria, Kazakhstan, Turkey and Azerbaijan.
|The Teen Challenge men's home
A few years ago a Teen Challenge rehabilitation center for men was established. Men with addiction problems are coming from all neighboring countries to Teen Challenge for help.
Meanwhile Teen Challenge also purchased a property where a women's house will be opened! There's still a lot of money needed for this ...
|Open air church
TC workers Kuanysh and Madina showed us around and took us to some beautiful spots near the capital Tbilisi. We have talked a lot about God's work in this country and the opportunities to be a blessing to the neighboring countries where the love of Jesus is not so well known.
The church service was held in the open air in a beautiful place in the mountains. Giorgi had brought his guitar, we shared a message and then there was a delicious picnic.
|Church picnic with lots of new believers
We met so many kind and loving people, we heard stories, we prayed together and were able to encourage many people. It's so wonderful to see that family members of the guys in the Teen Challenge program now also get curious about the love of God: they see the change in their son, brother, husband ...
We came also in contact with the young Iranian pastor R. He now lives in Georgia and has set up CIC Mission there.
|Jan gives Bible study at the men's center
CIC Mission is a non-profit that aims to share the love of God with the people from Iran and Azerbaijan. With a small team of volunteers pastor R. starts house churches all over the region! More on that in one of our upcoming blogs.
Also with Teen Challenge directors Blair & Althea we had a good time, useful discussions, powerful prayers and they showed us beautiful spots in the area as well. It was a great encouragement for us to see how a LIVING community of believers is growing in Georgia!
We are happy to be able to help them. On behalf of staff and students of Teen Challenge Georgia, THANK YOU for your donations for project study materials.

For anyone who's in T&T on
Monday Saturday 15th August 2009, there's the first ever Trinidad and Tobago Mango Festival being held at the IICA office, 10 Austin Street, St. Augustine from 9.00 a.m.- 6.00 p.m.
The event is hosted by the Caribbean Network of Rural Women Producers and supported by IICA. More information available here.
The Mango Festival: a day of fun, education, community, and good tastes, celebrates the short season of mango abundance. The event includes activities for all age groups, story telling, "smell and name the mango", best mango chow, best mango display and mango eating competitions. The members of the Network will have on sale tasty mango products, from the sweet: jellies, pastries, drinks, ice creams – to the spicy: chows, pickles, marinades, and for the exotic: beauty products and culinary innovations.
What really grabs me is the "smell and name the mango" competition – I figure that is one where young people just cannot compete. As it is, I don't know half the mangoes my parents grew up with and they salivate at the mere mention of the name! I imagine they can remember the scents…So I'd come out just to see the varieties Although tasting some good mango chows is also extremely tempting!

The American stock market has been shrinking steadily, losing around 5,700 stocks over the past 10 years or so.
But there's still a bafflingly huge assortment of publicly traded companies to buy here.
Now, there are a few "time-honored" stock-picking methods. To find a winner, you could... go with your gut... throw darts at a list of companies... follow a cable talking head... ask your poker buddies what's in their 401ks... or take a finance degree of your own.
But for truly profitable investing, you need good research and analysis - independent and unbiased - just like we publish in Money Morning every day of the week.
And our Quantitative Specialist (think "rocket scientist, but for stocks") Chris Johnson, a 23-year market veteran, has used some classic technical analysis to pick out one single dynamite company for you to buy today.
And he's even going to show you a way to "juice" the regular gains you'll accrue when you own it, possibly to the tune of 100% or more, very quickly.
And the best part is, you don't have to know a Relative Strength Index from a 50-day simple moving average to clean up here.

Below: This is our lil wiggly critter at 9-1/2 weeks. "It" was bouncing around. We also got to hear the heart beat again yesterday!
But a couple of stats:
- I'm 14w3d, just in my 2nd trimester.
- We found out on January 10th.
- I have been sick for 2-1/2 months and I have never been so miserably grateful for it and the piece of mind. My doctor is SO awesome and has me confident that soon I will not have to carry a bowl around with me. Hoping...
Ben and I send each other pictures during the days. He asked how I was doing. haha
- Ben and I think it's a boy, but we get a lot of people saying they think it's a girl. We'll find out on 4/16 if baby cooperates, and have a gender reveal probably in Utah.
- We already have names picked, 99% for the boy, and probably two names to narrow down for a girl. We started a baby names list before we got married and it has come in handy.
- Due date is Sept. 22nd, the last day of summer (but not really if you live in AZ)!
- I haven't had meat along with many things, since January (it's a sad day when you realize Cafe Rio makes you want to lose it). I can eat fruit/veggies, bland starchy carbs and cold desserts. Poor Ben hasn't been able to cook in the house for awhile, nor eat meat, and my diet has mostly consisted of waffles since they are the only thing that helps the nausea (one in hand 24/7). They have helped make my figure amazing though. lol
Corn and a smoothie:
Mushroom dinner:
Cinnamon toast and an avocado:
Breakfast of champions:
DELISH meal from a ward member! The church has such wonderful people:
Seaweed and a popsicle (x 12):
From Ben:
And a meal highlight of my entire pregnancy,... pregnancy-approved sushi (OMG):
- Yesterday I got some fitness-sad news from my doctor. This is a low-risk pregnancy, but she strongly recommends I give up most running for the rest of the pregnancy, due to the risk of pre-term labor now that the baby is big enough to feel the impact, and being petite. I was pretty discouraged but I will be listening to her and stick to CF. Not taking chances.
- We are excited and so grateful! But I cannot stop worrying. Something about getting pregnant yourself, brings out the horror stories and bad experiences from others! Pregnancy is such a miracle. We can only pray that all will be well.
Next big thing for my family is that my SISTER got engaged earlier this month, and will be married end of July! It's kind of about time, because she and Spencer have been best friends for yeaaaaars, but long distance schooling made decisions tough. He proposed on the 10th year anniversary of when they met.
Her ring is awesome. The diamond is a heart.

Houseplants are perfect for bringing the outdoors inside. But displaying those plants isn't limited to doing so in boring, basic pots. Get creative and find fun ways to showcase your greenery.
"Displaying indoor plants can seem like a daunting task, but it can be really easy," says Bonny Ford, editor of the FurnishMyWay blog, an interior design, fashion, art and lifestyle blog.
*Mismatched Style
Gather your existing pots and don't worry if they're different shapes, sizes or colors.
"Mismatched pots look great when they're placed on a simple table," says Ford, who suggests using pots of different heights for an interesting look. "Let the plants and pots do the talking within your decor."
If you want to streamline your uncoordinated pots, try painting them a unifying color.
*Look Up!
Hang plants around your home to make the space feel cozy and in touch with nature. Plus, by hanging them, you'll save valuable desk and counter space.
Remember those macrame plant hangers from the '70s? Well, they're back with a modern makeover.
Craft your own or buy macrame hangers, which are sturdy and stylish. These hangers are available in a wide variety or colors and fabrics and can be enhanced with beads, ribbons and other embellishments.
*Perfect Pairs
Have a hanging shoe organizer with pouches? If not, buy one at a discount or dollar store. Then cut a few drainage holes in each pouch, fill it with potting soil and seeds for herbs and be sure to mark or tag it so you know what's growing.
"Keep in mind your herbs will need plenty of sunlight, or exposure to a fluorescent light bulb if located inside," says Kristen Olson and the garden team at Gilmour, a watering tools company.
Water each pouch until it's moist, but don't overwater or your plants could rot. Place a tray below the shoe organizer to catch drips.
Give your houseplant display some depth by using on a variety of surfaces for a high-low effect, like a mantle, on books or a tall-tiered plant stand. Ford calls this look "floating shelves." This stacked style wows.
"It gets them up off the floor so they can be seen better," she says.
Display pots on a traditional bookshelf or on an opening shelving unit. Ivy plants, for example, look great flowing down the shelves.
Crates are another option, allowing flexibility to stash plants bunched together or separately in a variety of cubes.
*Vintage Style
Repurpose household items as new plant stands. For example, fill old rain boots or vintage watering buckets with plants.
Even mismatched teacups and teapots make fancy, yet bohemian planters.
The basket of an old bike is a cool place to grow plants, too. Olson says this look can "make a statement" when done well. She advises lining the basket with moss and making sure it allows for drainage.
*Pretty Planters
Use your imagination to find functional and fabulous ways to show off your plants:
--Hang a trellis or extra fencing on a wall for an interesting backdrop for houseplants to climb. Then nail pots or shelves for pots on the trellis and plant your best greenery.
--A staircase is another sophisticated way to showcase plants, especially if the stair slats are open so plant visibility is heightened.
--Bathrooms are ideal spaces for plants, too. They'll love the moisture and they'll reflect in the bathroom mirror. Don't overdo it, though. A little greenery goes a long way.
--Stage your plants in a variety of pots on a wheeled bar cart. Then you can move your indoor garden around your place whenever you want.
--Use a tiered cake stand to give your houseplants lots of height and flair.

James in China: Xian, Shanghai And 8,000 Uniquely Mind-Blowing Terracotta Warriors
"We all really felt as though Xian was what we expected from a Chinese city and initial thoughts were that we were going to enjoy it here…".
After the dense smog, the ludicrous scale of Beijing and the stunning scenery surrounding the Great Wall, it was time for @JamesOD09's China adventure, hurtling south to Xian, Xitang and Shanghai….
Now Xian Was More Like It!
Beijing was fun but too expansive for my liking and I felt as though Beijing had no real character or soul. Onwards to Xian, we travelled via the appropriately named Bullet Train. The train blasts through the countryside at 300km an hour and made the 1,000-km journey in under four hours. Xian is a beautifully authentic chinese city which mixes the old and the new majestically. We all really felt as though Xian was what we expected from a Chinese city and initial thoughts were that we were going to enjoy it here, and we did.
The Astounding Terracotta Warriors Tour
Day One in Xian, we met our specialised guide for the day Lena. I say specialised as we were going to explore the Terracotta Warrior pits. The terracotta warriors itself is considered the 8th Wonder of the world and is one of the world's most famous archaeological sites only discovered just over 30 years ago. Chalk this down as something you have to see in this lifetime and the stories behind the warriors and surrounding area absolutely mind-blowing.
Take for example, the fact that the 8,000 so far discovered warriors involved 700,000 workers and took 40 years to complete.
Not only that, EVERY SINGLE WARRIOR IS UNIQUE.
In Xian, we also hit up the infamous city wall expanding 14km around the whole city of Xian which is considered one of the oldest cities in China. The city wall protected the people and architecture within. You can rent bikes and cycle around the top of the wall which was a highlight of the entire trip!
More Bullet Trains Please, The Sleeper To Shanghai Was Rough
To get to Shanghai we travelled by overnight sleeper train. I would like to say it was just as effortless as the bullet train but wasn't near. The overnight sleeper trains in China are infamous among tourists as a way to travel not because you want to but because you have to. The train itself has two different classes, hard sleeper, and soft sleeper, we were in the soft sleeper carriages and we all agreed after a 15-hour overnight journey that we would not have wanted to see the hard sleepers!
We made the best of an "out of our comfort zone" situation and did what an Irish group would do, cracked open a few beers and swapped a few stories. 15 long hours later we pulled into a melting Shanghai to begin our final leg of the trip.
After the sleeper-gate we were too whacked for giving Shanghai the full treatment on the first night so we just pottered around taking in our initial urban surroundings.
Mission Possible to Xitang, Without Tom Cruise (Thankfully)
The next day we visited the historic Xitang water village located about an hour and a half outside of Shanghai, the water village is one of the oldest villages in China and dates back beyond our typical time measurements! If you're familiar with the latest mission impossible film, they shot an incredible chase scene here and filmed all on site and you can see why they choose this location. I didn't watch it (I hate Tom Cruise) but it must have been a killer scene as it was a stunning spot.
Authentic Chinese architecture throughout, Xitang is basically the Venice of China due to the canal system. Our lunch was booked with a view down onto the canal and narrow streets below. Great way to spend our last day in China. That eve we took a trip down to the Shanghai Bund to witness the city skyscrapers lit up at night competing with one another to be the brightest most flamboyant thing since George Michael in Club Tropicana. Incredible to see and a great way to finish off the trip with a group that made the experience what it was.
Thinking of taking on China for yourself in 2018? There's still time to be there for Chinese New Year, or even if you can't travel in February, the numbers of Irish visitors to China is only increasing. Check out James' itinerary here or pick out one of your own and let's start planning.

Prime Minister, Portia Simpson Miller, is strongly condemning the killing of four people in Hayes, Clarendon on Wednesday night, describing it as an 'act of terror'.
Mrs. Simpson Miller says recurring images of mothers crying for the lives of their children who're brutally murdered break the spirit and stride of the nation.
The Prime Minister says the entire nation has a role to play to bring these 'acts of terror to an end'.
She says the killing was a 'dastardly act', robbing the country of its best and most promising resource.
Mrs. Simpson Miller's comments were in a statement from the governing People's National Party.
A statement was also sent from the Office of the Prime Minister with similar sentiments.
The PNP is also condemning the brutal murder of the three teenage boys and a 35-year-old man who were killed — reportedly execution style.
Mrs. Simpson Miller has added her call for community members to help investigators by telling all they know so the perpetrators can be brought to justice.
Those killed have been identified as Raymond Givans and Ricardo Briscoe — who were both 14 — as well as 15-year-old Alex Turner, and 35-year-old Marquis Hamilton.
The killings have drawn strong, widespread condemnation.

Remoulding the mould

Reading this blog makes me want to get hold of a Saturn again. I've had both the top pads in my time as a Saturn owner, but never the NiGHTS pad. I saw one at a carboot sale once a few years ago, complete with a copy of said game, but the guy selling it wanted 30 quid. Who takes 30 quid to a carboot sale?! Also just discovered a little games shop near me selling Saturn games for 3 pounds each...I think a purchase may be on the cards soon...
PS - the blog still seems broken - what's the deal?!

Oh, the Saturn's EUR Joypad. What a big pile of crap it was. Play with it for a mere minutes and your thumb will fall off. I still don't get it, why they approved that pad. Did they think "Oh.. Yes.. it's good!"? Did they actually play with it? Oh my..
Good that Japan came to the rescue and the best pad of them all came to the european market. Even in a very nice black finish. Woo!

What the? I didn't know the analog controller had a pull-out-y bit!
NiGHTS Wii didn't even try to do motion control, they gave you a shit pointer based control, and gamecube/classic controller options. This is probably because it was apparently planned as a PS3/360 game. Shame.

Wow, I've owned the Analog pad ever since Nights came out... and didn't know about that pull-out thing either! :P

a) Get your Saturns out guys!
b) I have no idea how to fix the blog as I can't edit it
c) The pully out bit was one of the first things I noticed about it when I got it out of the box in 97

I never tried the mark 1 controller, but I always loved its design. The d-pad looks like crap, but the overall round shape looks really good in my opinion. Too bad that it apparently sucks at what's most important.
The mark 2 pad on the other hand is just awesome. That d-pad is still probably the best ever made (oh, if only the 360 had a d-pad like that...), and the disposition and shape of the face buttons is also pretty good.
I would love to have a 3D pad, but they're so expensive...

The mark 1 controller is horrendous.
The first Saturn I had, came with mark II controllers. I actually phoned Sega Europe in about 2002 and they sent me "brand new" Mark 1 controller boxed up, as well as a boxed up TV connection lead.
I thought the Mark 1 was a Mark 2, 'cos I'd never seen one before (are you following?) though it got used once and never again by me, I would give it to friends during two player bouts so I would have an immediate advantage...
Now what's all this about the 'Yard being broken? I'm looking at it through Firefox and it looks absolutely fine...

It seems the site is currently ONLY working in firefox. Safari and IE aren't rendering it any more?! how weird.

text: Share: Comments Print June 26, 2007 at 10:23 PM Ouch! Posted by Jayda Evans Sometimes it's hard to remember all that Storm guard Betty Lennox is going through this season given her play on the court. The spry 5-foot-8 shooter isn't afraid to get underneath the basket for rebounds, is passing better than she has in the past, and playing comparable defense. All that while dealing with an offcourt family situation and being hampered by an aggravated Achilles. "I try not to show any weakness out there," said Lennox, who finished with 12 points, four rebounds, and four assists with only one turnover in 21 minutes against Chicago. "It may be playing a big part in my shooting, but I'm trying to be mentally tough in playing through it." But at one point the pain was nearly unbearable tonight. Lennox, who is shooting a career-low 29.6 percent from three-point range, switched shoes last week and is still having problems finding a comfortable pair. "I can't wait to get the shoes off," said Lennox of the way she feels postgame. "I was going to take them off today in the fourth quarter not knowing I wasn't going back in. Just to get that pressure off. But I've just really got to try to go out and do the dirty work and put it behind me. I can't harp on every step, every movement, every loose ball, you know."

Why the D-backs shouldn't waver on signing Howie Kendrick
It's a month until spring training and the only team that's been consistently linked with free-agent second baseman Howie Kendrick is the Arizona Diamondbacks. But the D-backs are vacillating on whether or not to sign the solid infielder.
According to FOX Sports MLB insider Ken Rosenthal, the D-backs are uncertain if they want to sign Kendrick because it would require them to part ways with a draft pick, as Kendrick rejected a qualifying offer from the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Sources: #DBacks still reluctant to give up second pick (currently No. 39) for Howie Kendrick. Believe Owings will bounce back offensively.
Article continues below ...
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) January 21, 2016
After signing free agent Zack Greinke and parting ways with a haul of prospects to acquire Shelby Miller, Arizona has made loud and clear its plans to be a contender in the NL West in 2016.
- Hot Stove Tracker: Latest news, rumors
- Free agents: The complete list
- Big deals: Zack Greinke signs with Diamondbacks
- Big deals: David Price signs with Red Sox
- Big deals: Jason Heyward signs with Cubs
- Big deals: Chris Davis signs with Orioles
- Big deals: Justin Upton signs with Tigers
- Big deals: Yoenis Cespedes signs with Mets
- Big deals: Alex Gordon signs with Royals
- Big deals: Aroldis Chapman traded to Yankees
- Big deals: Jordan Zimmermann signs with Tigers
- Big deals: Jeff Samardzija signs with Giants
- Big deals: Craig Kimbrel traded to Red Sox
- Big deals: Andrelton Simmons traded to Angels
- Big deals: Shelby Miller traded to Diamondbacks
- Big deals: Todd Frazier traded to White Sox
- Big deals: Starlin Castro traded to Yankees
The D-backs already have a prolific offense and sturdy defense in place, which will likely make their off-season moves that significantly bolstered their starting rotation the puzzle piece that was missing in their winning formula in Phoenix.
However, while Arizona has a productive offense in place, it could use an offensive upgrade at second base, and Kendrick would fulfill that need.
After all, Kendrick is about as sure a bet as there is.
In the past three seasons, the former two of which were spent with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the latter of which was with the Dodgers, the 32-year-old infielder hit .295/.340/.414 while averaging 10 home runs and 61 RBI per 162 games.
Even more indicative of Kendrick's reliability is that his batting average has remained within four one-thousandths of a percent over those seasons (2013: .297; 2014: .293; 2015: .295), nearly perfectly aligned with his career average of .293.
Above all, Kendrick is a solid fielder, and has the versatility to play first or third base or the outfield, as well, if need be.
Rosenthal notes in his report that that Arizona believes that current second baseman Chris Owings "will bounce back offensively," which would give them peace of mind if they pass on Kendrick.
However, the 24-year-old Owings has yet to prove himself as a consistent offensive producer in his two-plus years at the major-league level.
Owings hit .261 with 26 RBI in 91 games in 2014 and drove in 43 runs at a .227 clip in 147 games with the D-backs last season. He currently averages 46 RBI per 162 games in his big-league career.
Therefore, it wouldn't be categorized as "bouncing back" if he had a good year at the plate in 2016 – it would be a new development.
The D-backs also have veteran infielder Aaron Hill as an option at second base, but unlike Kendrick, he has been on a steady decline since hitting .302 with 26 home runs and 85 RBI in his first full season in Arizona in 2012.
So, it seems a no-brainer that the D-backs, chugging full-speed at the upcoming season, should sign Kendrick.
He's reliable in the field and at the plate, clutch (.360 with runners in scoring position last season), and would add needed veteran experience to a young team stuffed to the brim with budding superstar talent.
If losing a draft pick is the biggest obstacle between the D-backs and Kendrick, Rosenthal has an interesting perspective on the issue.
#DBacks could recoup pick if they sign Kendrick for 1 yr and make him qualifying offer. The risk is he would accept – and they like Owings.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) January 21, 2016
Arizona is wise to think big picture in its decision making.
Nevertheless, Howie Kendrick could add plenty of value to a team with hopes of being in contention.

Federal law requires that you be 21 years or age or older to purchase a stripped receiver or frame. If a frame or receiver can only be made into a long gun (rifle or shotgun), it is still a frame or receiver not a handgun or long gun. However, they still are "firearms" by definition, and subject to the same GCA limitations as any other firearms. See Section 921(a)(3)(b). 18 U.S.C. Section 922(b)(1) makes it unlawful for a licensee to sell any firearm other than a shotgun or rifle to any person under the age of 21.

Which timeframe is the best to trade forex – illustrating EURCAD, GBPCAD and CADCHF
Many occasions, students asked: which timeframe (H1 or H4) is a better trigger?
Why is there a question on which timeframe is a better trigger?
– if trigger on H1, it is seen to be faster and thus might get a better price or have a tighter stop
– if trigger on H4, it is slower (in 75%) of the time, thus might not have a better price which might result in a wider stop loss
The answer?
I have no best answer here. Sometimes when I trigger on H1, I don't get a better price than a H4 trigger.
Sometimes when I trigger on H4, price travels too far away from trigger point resulting in a wide stop and I don't get to open position.
However, I always insist on a few steps:
1. In a counter trend, always a H4 trigger
2. If a H4 trigger is just 1.5 hour away, then I will also do a H4 trigger. Example, if time now is 7.30pm, a H1 trigger is 8pm, while a H4 trigger is 9pm. Then I will always do a H4 trigger
3. If i'm so keen about a trade and MUST trade it, then 30% of position goes to H1 trigger, remaining to H4 trigger
4. All else fail, I will trigger on H1 then see that I'm wrong for the moment, chop my fingers and swear that I won't do it the next time
Let me illustrate this on on EURCAD
If look left, the H4 trigger is important because 13685 was an immediate support 4 weeks ago. If triggered early, the only way is to keep stop loss tight and stringent.
CADCHF – this is clearer because there was a H4 trigger and also H4 is above F6. However, I want to emphasize. All my said levels are NOT Target Profit or Profit Target. They are just support or resistance levels

Working with Gautam and his team was effortless as they transferred every vision of ours into reality. For the Mehendi i wanted non traditional decor and feel so we went for a blue and lemon ikat look which complimented the sandstone of the property. For the wedding my brief to Guatam was to make it pretty in pink.. and what a brilliant job he did! My aim was for the decor to be beautiful without being over the top!Source

Gautam was signed on for our cocktail ceremony and he took complete responsibility of the decor on him . He gave a complete mock up of the design at he venue that was extremely helpful at our venue The Mansion , Hyaat New Delhi as we had a large gathering and did not want the area to look claustrophobic. The intricate floral work that he did on the cocktail was truly beautiful. Once he was signed on he was there personally throughout the wedding to ensure every detail was taken care of.
Sidhant was very clear he wanted a Great Gatsby kind of a setup for the cocktail and Gautam Vedi executed that and how!
Truly helped us turn our visions to reality, every little detail was taken care of and personally overlooked. Couldnt have asked for anyone else.

What Is The Burden Of Proof For A Claim?
The law requires that the claimant accomplish 3 things:
With Whom Should The Claim Be Filed?
The claim may be filed with the delivering carrier.
What Are The Required Documents?
- Original Invoice – the original invoice verifies that the amount of the claim does not exceed the terms of sale (value of the goods) at destination, and excludes any prospective profit. The original invoice must disclose all discounts and allowances, if any.
- Original paid freight bill – the original paid freight bill showing that freight charges on the shipment against which the claim is filed have been paid in full. In order for a claim to be finalized, all freight charges must be paid.
- Repair or replacement invoice – when sending a repair invoice, it should include a breakdown of hours, labor rate, and materials. (If applicable)
What Is Concealed Loss Or Damage?
When damage is discovered after the delivery receipt is signed and the cartons are opened, it is termed concealed damage. When this occurs, the carrier should be immediately contacted at the delivering terminal, to request an inspection. While awaiting inspection, the consignee must hold the shipping container and its contents in the same condition they were in when damage was discovered. The inspection should be accomplished without delay. The carrier will send a representative to perform the inspection or will waive inspection. If the carrier does not respond within 5 working days, the consignee may make the inspection himself.
See NMFC Item 300135 – Request for Inspection should be confirmed in writing by mail.
The inspection report is not a claim. It is the responsibility of the claimant to file a cargo claim within the prescribed time frame and to respond to any requests from the carrier for supporting documentation. The claim will then be concluded based on facts determined during investigation.
Should I Pay The Freight Bill?
Section 10761 of the Interstate Commerce Act (49 USC 10761) prohibits a carrier from collecting any charges different from those published in the carrier's effective tariff. The payment of freight charges may not be postponed due to alleged loss or damage. These charges should be paid in full and the portion applicable to the lost or damaged item should be included in the freight claim.
The following items are important to remember:
What Should Be Done With The Damaged Goods? (i.e. Salvage Retention)
Salvage must be retained until the claim is resolved, or until the claimant is given disposition by the carrier.
No salvage is to be dumped without written authorization from the carrier.
What Happens If A Claim Is Declined?
If the claim is declined, and the claimant feels it should have been paid, the claimant should present his rebuttal in letter form to the examiner who declined it. If claimant has additional information or evidence, that should be included. Always refer to the assigned claim number when corresponding with an examiner.
What Is The Proper Follow Up On A Claim? (i.e. Claim Status)
The carrier will acknowledge the claim in writing within 30 days and assign a number which identifies the shipment. The carrier will pay, refuse payment or make a firm compromise within 120 days after receipt of claim. In all cases make sure the carrier involved with the claim acknowledges receipt of the claim.
Claim Filing Checklist:
Prior to submitting your claim, be sure to check the following items:

The CFP Board Center for Financial Planning today announced that Kathleen McQuiggan – a recognized leader on the issue of gender diversity in financial services – is the new Special Adviser on Gender Diversity. In this role, she will help guide the Center's Women's Initiative (WIN) to address the shortage of women in the financial planning profession.
"Last year, we saw a record number of women earn CFP® certification, but the fact remains that women make up only 23 percent of CFP® professionals," said CFP Board Center for Financial Planning Executive Director Marilyn Mohrman-Gillis. "Kathleen is a true expert on gender diversity in financial services and passionate about empowering more women to succeed in the financial planning profession. We are fortunate indeed to have someone with Kathleen's knowledge and commitment join the Center to advance programs and initiatives that will effect real change."
McQuiggan began her career at the financial services firm Alex Brown in Baltimore and later spent 13 years at Goldman Sachs, before departing in 2009 to focus on her passion – investing in women. She founded the consulting firm Catalina Leadership, where she began an engagement with Pax World Management and later joined the firm as Senior Vice President of Global Women's Strategies. In that role, she was responsible for product management of the Pax Ellevate Global Women's Index Fund and ran the firm's Women & Wealth practice management initiative. McQuiggan currently works at Artemis Financial Advisors.
She holds a B.S. from Towson University and is currently working toward becoming a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional. A longtime advocate for advancing women in leadership, McQuiggan served on the CFP Board WIN Council since the initiative's inception in 2013. She is also an active member of SheGives, Women Working for Oceans, Ellevate Network, Plum Alley Investments and Dartmouth Natural Resource Trust. In 2015, she was among 20 financial advisors and industry executives honored on InvestmentNews' inaugural "Women to Watch" list.
McQuiggan takes over the role of Special Adviser on Gender Diversity from Eleanor Blayney, CFP®, who recently established the Eleanor Blayney Gender Diversity Fund in concluding her official role with the Center. Blayney will continue her involvement in the Center's Women's Initiative as a member of the WIN Council and as a WIN Advocate.
The mission of Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. is to benefit the public by granting the CFP® certification and upholding it as the recognized standard of excellence for competent and ethical personal financial planning. The Board of Directors, in furthering CFP Board's mission, acts on behalf of the public, CFP® professionals and other stakeholders. CFP Board owns the certification marks CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® (with plaque design) and CFP® (with flame design) in the U.S., which it awards to individuals who successfully complete CFP Board's initial and ongoing certification requirements. CFP Board currently authorizes over 80,000 individuals to use these marks in the U.S.
ABOUT the CFP BOARD CENTER FOR FINANCIAL PLANNING
The CFP Board Center for Financial Planning seeks to create a more diverse and sustainable financial planning profession so that every American has access to competent and ethical financial planning advice. The Center brings together CFP® professionals, firms, educators, researchers and experts to address profession-wide challenges in the areas of diversity and workforce development, and to build an academic home that offers opportunities for conducting and publishing new research that adds to the financial planning body of knowledge.

Pronounced HOO-GA.
A quick word about hygge.
You can't force hygge. It's not something you can demand. It's something you can coax, but mostly it's something you live and nurture. It's being present.
For me hygge is an appreciation of the simple things, appreciation of what brings a feeling of peace, when things are balanced. I'm a homebody by nature. No matter where I've lived (and that's a lot of places) I like creating a place where when I enter I can take a deep breath and be myself. I love creating decor by hand for my home, putting a personal touch in the place I'm living in with things I've built or collected from history. I love candles, sitting by a fire, home baking. And if I go too long without my homebody/hygge time, I get out of synch.
I only learned the word HYGGE a few years ago, but it's a word I've loved from the start. It's a Danish word that I've found many definitions for mainly because we don't have an equivalent word in English. I suspect it's also because it evokes so many feelings and can be found in so many settings that to explain to someone what hygge means, you need more than one word to convey the feelings that hygge is.
Traditionally hygge has a Nordic sensibility to it. I grew up in the Canadian prairies with a definite winter and living-off-the-land sensibility. I now live in Montana at the foot of the mountains. Of course not everyone has access to the same resources but Hygge can still be found in any culture and at every economic level. You can have hygge on your own, by yourself. Introverts like me can be very content in hygge in isolation. Anyone can create and have hygge. Anywhere. Anytime.
There is a wooden sign hanging in our small hallway that reads: "life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful". It's a reminder to be conscious of the things that really matter … especially on the days where I feel low or overwhelmed. That's a kind of hygge.
It's in the candle you light, it's in the cup of tea or hot chocolate you're sipping, it's in the bowl of cherries you get to savour because it's finally cherry season. It's in the birthday party you throw for a friend, it's in the wool sweater you wear and the home-made quilt you get to wrap yourself in as the long winter nights close in.
It's in the name I chose for my "business". My business that doesn't exist yet, at the root of it are pastries that evoke hygge or supports others in their pursuit of good flavours and sweet hygge. My goal is to also take it beyond pastries into other hygge supports. It's a process I have no choice but to be patient with.
Hygge is a confidence that you are where you're supposed to be, doing what you're meant to be doing – whether it was your end goal, or it's a "means to an end". It doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful. You can create a bit of sweetness wherever you are.

Concrete resurfacing is a trending solution to repair surface damage and to give worn-out surfaces a facelift. Whereas before the conventional thing to do would be to immediately replace concrete slabs that showed any sign of age or damage, new technology and applications have made concrete resurfacing the better and more cost-effective option.
Not only does it enhance the look and function of a concrete slab, it also increases the overall value of the property. Additionally, coatings and overlays will also help property owners save hard-earned money and contribute to the conservation of resources and eliminating landfill waste at the same time.
When to Resurface Concrete and Which Surfaces are Eligible?
- Larger cracks can either be a sign that a small crack has gone worse or that deeper structural damage is causing the surface to crack. If it is the latter, the entire slab must be removed to be able to gain access to the one causing damage deep within.
- Heaving concrete cannot be resurfaced. The reason for its movement must first be addressed and this usually involves the removal of the existing slab.
- Freeze-thaw damage happens when the pores on a slab are saturated and then exposed to freezing temperature. When water turns to ice, it will require more space than usual. This causes distress on the slab and weakens it. This type of damage requires a removal and re-pour.
- Working cracks are cracks that recur. These are caused by soil movement underneath the slab. Underlying soil issues cannot be resolved by resurfacing.
Top Concrete Resurfacing Coatings & Overlays
Stamped Concrete Overlay – Popularly used on outdoor patios, pool decks, resurfaced driveways, sidewalks, walkways, and entryways. This involves the use of a thin overlay and stamp mats.
Spray Texture – Acrylic concrete coating that is sprayed on outdoor surfaces. Popular for its slip-resistant texture and heat reflectivity, it is widely used in resurfacing a concrete pool deck.
Epoxy Flooring contractors in Dallas, Texas – Best used indoors, this is a tough material perfect for use on garage floors, basements, car dealerships, showrooms, and other spaces that need damage-resistant floors.
Work with the expert in Concrete Resurfacing in Dallas, TX. Call (972)808-5281 today.
Of all the Dallas concrete resurfacing contractors, only one name stands out. Dallas Decorative Concrete has over 20 years of experience in the business of enhancing and repairing slabs and surfaces, both in residential and commercial locations, in all kinds of spaces – including concrete patios Dallas projects.
But don't take our word for it. Call or email one of the best concrete overlay contractors and let's talk about the outdoor and interior flooring options that would benefit you the most.

PEOPLE ARE UNIVERSALLY bad at judging friendship.
Researchers at the University of Tel Aviv (TAU) and Massachusetts found that our ability to determine who our real friends are limits our powers of persuasion.
Their joint study says only half of your pals would consider you their own friend. People have a very poor perception of friendship ties, and this limits their ability to influence their "friends".
"It turns out that we're very bad at judging who our friends are," says Dr Erez Shmueli, who conducted the study with Dr Laura Radaelli, both of TAU's Department of Industrial Engineering.
The researchers conducted extensive social experiments and analysed the data from other studies to determine the percentage of reciprocal friendships and their impact on human behavior. The team also examined six friendship surveys from some 600 students in Israel, Europe and the United States to assess friendship levels and expectations of reciprocity.
They then developed an algorithm that examines several objective features of a perceived friendship (that is, the number of common friends or the total number of friends) and is able to distinguish between the two different kinds of friendship: unidirectional or reciprocal.
"We found that 95% of participants thought that their relationships were reciprocal," Dr. Shmueli says.
"If you think someone is your friend, you expect him to feel the same way. But in fact that's not the case — only 50 percent of those polled matched up in the bidirectional friendship category."
Read: There's no two ways about it. The ending of a friendship sucks.
Read: Everybody needs a friend as dedicated as this guy

About THE DARKEST TORMENT:
Can Beauty tame her Beast?
Driven to his death by the demon of Distrust, Baden spent centuries in purgatory. Now he's back, but at what cost? Bound to the king of the underworld, an even darker force, he's unable to withstand the touch of another…and he's quickly devolving into a heartless assassin with an uncontrollable temper. Things only get worse when a mission goes awry and he finds himself saddled with a bride—just not his own.
Famed dog trainer Katarina Joelle is forced to marry a monster to protect her loved ones. When she's taken hostage by the ruthless, beautiful Baden immediately after the ceremony, she's plunged into a war between two evils—with a protector more dangerous than the monsters he hunts. They are meant to be enemies, but neither can resist the passion burning between them…and all too soon the biggest threat is to her heart.
But as Baden slips deeper into the abyss, she'll have to teach him to love…or lose him forever.
Includes Q&A featuring J. R. Ward, Jeaniene Frost, Nalini Singh and more!

Reese's Review:
Oh my gosh what have I been doing with my life??? Gena Showalter you are beyond amazing. The Darkest Torment is an almost 500-page book that I read in one sitting. This whole book has been beyond amazing.
I am unsure of how much to say. This is the first book by Gena Showalter I've ever read. While some of the aspects of the book were confusing like characters and powers, I felt like I got a good grasp on who everyone was without the book being bogged down with it.
Baden has spent a long arse time being possessed by the demon Distrust before having himself killed. Ever since he spent his time watching his friends' morn him and fighting Pandora in the Underworld. When he was brought back to life with bands on his arms from Hades, he was given tasks that would ensure his freedom. While that may seem simple Hades has put another being inside Baden and it craves death and destruction. Now no one around him is safe. When he gets a job to extract a coin he comes face to face with the one person who can take him and his dark companion on.
Katarina has loved dogs all her life. When a man named Alek kills her fiancé, her dogs, and gets her brother addicted to drugs so she'll marry him in exchange for her dogs safety she has no choice but to marry him. When Baden and his merry men of hotties burst in on her wedding killing almost everyone and kidnapping Katarina her life changes forever.
Well I won't go into too much more expect to say I FREAKING LOVED THIS BOOK!!!
Baden is super sexy and I love his dark companion just as much. They're both so strong and yet when they fall for Katarina so cute when falling for her.
Katarina is such a funny and strong character. I like that she works to be equals with Baden in strength and mind.
LOVED THIS BOOK FOR REAL!!! If I had time I would read this book over and over. However, since I don't I will be grabbing the rest of this series ASAP!!!
Thank you Gena Showalter for being an amazing author!
And don't miss the previous titles in the Lords of the Underworld Series!

Home Health Care And Home Care Aren't The Same Thing
Home care and home health care are terms that many people tend to use interchangeably. However, they are two separate things. While they do have some similarities, there are also some significant differences between them.
Home Health Care
If you need home health care, it's because your doctor has ordered it for you. It was ordered because you need to have a medical professional come to your house to handle certain things for you. This includes things like preparing medicine for you, for example. If you have a lot of medications you need to take, the medical professional can organize them into pill dispenser for you making it easier for you to take them.
The nurse working for the home health care agency may also be able to do wound care for you. That would include changing any dressings, as well as monitoring any changes. Those changes could include infection or delayed healing. If surgical wounds or pressure sores get infected, they can cause some serious problems that may require further surgery or prolonged hospitalization. Catching any signs of infection as soon as possible helps you to avoid those risks.
There are other treatments that you can receive at home that a skilled medical professional can help you with. They include things like injections and IV medications. If you have to have IV antibiotics or daily antibiotic injections, going to your doctor's office or hospital isn't always possible. You may be at risk of contracting further illnesses, or be too contagious to leave your house. The home health care nurse will be able to safely continue your treatments.
Home Care
Home care is different from home health care. A home care worker takes care of all the daily living tasks that have to be done. Your home care worker will do things like help you shower and help you dress. They will also help you with basic housework and even prepare meals for you.
Another thing that your home care worker can do for you is to help you get to appointments and stay with you as support while you are at your appointment. They may also be able to go out into the community with you, taking you places like grocery stores and shopping.
Home health care and home care are two different things. That being said, you may be able to get skill medical care and home assistance from the same agency. That will let them cooperate and give you the best possible care. Speak with professionals like ComForcare - Mississippi, MS for more info.
