Debbie McDonough, Owner
I was an inquisitive and adventurous child. I used to ride my bike around the neighborhood, taking random turns trying to get lost to see if I could find my way back home. I'm either a genius or a fool because I could never get myself lost! Fortunately as I aged, my logic became more sound and I found myself looking for ways to make things better, easier -- but still trying to solve problems. Now, the adventure and excitement comes from spreading the word about the solutions I've found.
Originally, I started My Favorite Shelf to help with organization in the kitchen. I'm the youngest of eight children. With that size brood, my mother maintained a very organized kitchen--she said it was easier to be organized and keep things in their place than it is to have to clean. I took what my mother taught me and added logical organization products. Viola! My Favorite Shelf!
I have over 20 years of professional experience. Prior to My Favorite Shelf, I held management positions in software and management consulting firms. At My Favorite Shelf, I am responsible for product and employee development, business oversight, and general operations.
Mary Long, Sales
Mary is one who quickly relates to others. She is fast to understand and has an innate talent to solve problems. Mary has a busy life working for My Favorite Shelf and going to college to study business management. She has about 5 years of professional experience. Prior to My Favorite Shelf, she held customer-service related positions in small business and retail establishments. At My Favorite Shelf, Mary is responsible for scheduling, providing estimates, order fulfillment, and organization of marketing appearances.

About Magnesium
Most of us are deficient in magnesium.
While this macro-mineral is easily obtained from many foods, magnesium deficiencies are extremely common for many Americans. Alcohol consumption, the presence of fluoride, and the consumption of certain foods either increase our need for magnesium, or decrease its absorption. Magnesium is not only one of the key nutrients required in both calcium utilization and protein synthesis, but it also plays a tremendous role in virtually every enzymatic reaction in our body.
Magnesium is a mineral that is critical for energy production and metabolism, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission and bone mineralization. It is required cofactor for an estimated 300 enzymes. Among the reactions catalyzed by these enzymes are fatty acid synthesis, protein synthesis and glucose metabolism.
Essential for:
- Nervous System Support
- Energy Production
- Enzyme Function
- Bone health
- Sleep and calmness
- Decalcification
- Regular bowel movement
- Muscles and leg cramps
Magnesium ions are essential to the basic nucleic acid chemistry of life, and 80 percent of the enzymes in the body need Mg in order to function. Mg deficiency can affect every organ system in the body. In skeletal muscles, Mg deficiency causes twitches, cramps, back aches, neck pain, tension headaches. With the heart Mg deficiency can cause angina (from spasm of the coronary arteries), high blood pressure, and rhythm disturbances, including sudden death.
Dr. Donald Miller
Types available:
NOW Magnesium Citrate Vcaps® are fast acting, safe and ideal for anyone who has their sights set on attaining optimal levels of this vital nutrient.* 250 tabs by NOW. Code 316.0
Found in the catalog section Minerals
Magnesium Glycinate
MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE 15% magnesium in an absorbable, non-laxative form. Some estimate over 90% of the US population are deficient in magnesium! Moderate taste.
Magnesium Malate 1000 mg
Malate is an important Krebs Cycle intermediate, indicating that it is an important molecule in the production of cellular energy derived from carbohydrates.
Magnesium Orotate Powder
Mg. Orotates, found in human milk, are reputed to be among the best mineral transporters. Mg orotate was said by Drs. Robert Atkins & Hans Nieper to help cardiovascular and arterial function.
Magnesium is essential, and we are all deficient.
Some comments people who used this product http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Magnesium-Citrate-120-Vcaps/698 wrote:
Magnesium Citrate is produced from the synthesis of Magnesium Carbonate and Citric Acid and is a readily bioavailable source of this key mineral. It plays key roles in the activation of amino acids for protein biosynthesis and is highly concentrated in intracellular fluid and bone.
Since adding this supplement to my schedule I have been resting better and have been very regular with my bowl movments! I take 3 capsuls per day and can really tell a difference for the worse if I don't take them.
I tried a more expensive Magnesium that came in tablets. I had to take twice as much and it still did not work so I tested it, and it did not dissolve. With the NOW product in capsule form, I cut my dosage in half with great results.
One of my best iherb purchases so far. Really helps to calm me down before going to bed. Also useful in stressful situations. Much better tolerated than the Oxide form.
I actually carry some of these caps around with me in my purse at all times. Magnesium is so helpful if you tend to get leg cramps or twitches. In fact, I carry some of these caps with me at all times, in case my magnesium level gets low, and I feel a leg cramp coming on while I am away from home.
This is one supplement where the effects are almost immediately noticeable. (usually overnight) I take magnesium citrate to help reduce muscle spasms but it also works as a mineral laxative. I've tried other brands and other formulas and I prefer this particular Now Foods formula. The capsules are easy to swallow and they don't upset my stomach.
Thanks for your patronage. Article continues below:
Great magnesium for anxiety, and improved sleep Thanks
I take this for extreme muscle pain and tension and it works great. It also works for bowel pain.
I bought this for my mother to help with restless nights and it's working very well. In addition it seems to have calmed her nervous system.
I take magnesium citrate for migraine prevention and muscle cramps…Now Foods is a brand I trust and iHerb has incredible pricing – especially when bought in quantity like I do. I buy 4 of each item, get a good discount & free shipping (since my orders are high enough), and don't run out nearly as often as when I was running to the local GNC…oh yeah, have I mentioned I don't waste a drop of gasoline!!!
After having surgery for a kidney stone in spring 2008, the urologist who operated on me recommended that I take magnesium citrate to prevent more stones from forming. Have been using this supplement and so far no more stones.
I occasionally wake in the night with leg cramps and find that one capsule relieves the cramps in about 6 minutes and I can then get back to sleep.
I need extra magnesium to keep my heart beat regular. I take this mag citrate if I'm having trouble with constipation, and high absorption magnesium if I'm not.
Most of us are deficient in magnesium. I read about magnesium citrate in "The Magnesium Miracle", by Dr. Carolyn Dean. Magnesium oil is more easily absorbed by the body, but this product is not as messy.
This magnesium is one of the best absorbed and is great if you tend towards constipation.
I trust all NOW Products. I have found them all to be the best. I take the magnesium citrate for my heart paplations. Upon taking it for about a week they have gone away completely. I use to have them upon laying down for sleep at night and now I never have them. Magnesium is excellent for this problem and also we do not get enough magnesium in our diets here in the US any more so taking Magnesium is great for many other functions of the human body. Also, being on a fixed income the prices at Iherb are the best. Thank you IHerb.
Easy on the intestines and feels very absorbable.
I take just one 160mg Magnesium Citrate capsule (don't want to get the laxative effect) about 1 hr before bed, and wake up next morning with clear mind and a good disposition to start the day. To me this is an indication that the citrate form of magnesium is well absorbed. Good Now Foods product.
Helps both my husband and me to sleep better.
This is the best magnesium supplement I have used. Excellent.
I started taking this in the spring or early summer, to help with calcium absorption. But I've since learned that magnesium might help prevent Migraines too. I haven't had a migraine since May, so I'm optimistically hopeful!!! I don't dare be without it!
I take these almost daily as magnesium is an essential nutrient. I feel I get the best quality and price with this brand and would recommend to anyone.
Much better to have the Vcaps for absorption, rather than the tablets. It's an excellent product for balancing out calcium intake. Very happy with the price and quality.
2 Vcaps daily should be enough for everyone. If you take three of these daily your stomach might not like it. Magnesium citrate helps to keep my muscles going. Helps me to sleep much better and relaxed.
Magnesium Citrate made by Now Foods has been a product that I have used for several years. When taken with calcium, it provides the appropriate balance to keep my bones healthy. Now Foods makes Magnesium Citrate in capsule form which is better to digest with food. Good product! Thank you iHerb for keeping the cost reasonable. I will order again when needed. Peggy

Programmatically Evaluating a UIElement's ActualWidth Before Layout4/9/2012 | Tags: windows-phone
Please, tell us what you think about this news by voting
source: earthtoneil.com
Earlier today I was browsing StackOverflow and came across an interesting Windows Phone development question:
in my application for wp7,i would like to add dynamic buttons(width according to text length) to a dynamic stackpanel (horizontal alignment,fills the screen in width).
My problem is that i want to know if i have enough room in the current stackpanel to add the button (after it's created),and if not,create another stackpanel, and add it there.
The logic from my point is fairly simple,but i can't get it to go...
If i add the buttons to the stackpanel,it grows beyond the limits of the phone screen. I can't get the button width (width gives NaN and ActualWidth gives 0),or the stackpanel width.
There was a single response at the time pointing the poster to use WrapPanel from the Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit and while this is definitely the course of action I would recommend as well, it got me thinking about how I would go about solving this problem using the limited Windows Phone dev knowledge I have now (but learning fast!).
Since everything here is being done programmatically, the core requirement is to be able to determine an autosizing Button's width and then use that knowledge to decide where to lay it out. Despite all my searching however it doesn't seem any method exists to query a dynamically created autosizing UIElement's width until it has actually been through the layout process - both the properties Width and ActualWidth return Double.NaN.

AntVentor was a surprise find for me at PAX East, and even though I'd never heard of it, I was immediately intrigued by it's unique art style, a mix of hyper realistic environments and cartoony characters. Once I started playing the demo, I was enchanted by the humor and puzzles of this point-and-click adventure.
Having now played the whole game, I'm still amazed by the aesthetic and artistic direction, and the games funky sense of humor had me chuckling, but I was ultimately left hungry for more:
Title: AntVentor
Developer: LoopyMood Games
Platform: PC
Game Version: Final
Review Copy: Provided by Developer
Interface: Keyboard and Mouse
Available on Steam
AntVentor is a point & click game about inventor ant and his adventures in photo-realistic macroworld
AntVentor's visual style is unique, technically impressive and works really well. While the characters, interactable elements are drawn and animated in a cartoon, almost Pixar-esq style, the backgrounds and environments are rendered in an incredibly realistic way, to the point where I'm not sure they aren't photographs, or made up of photographs. This isn't a style that would work for every game, but I hope more developers consider it, because it's very effect and engaging.
AntVentor uses basic point and click mechanics, and is subscribing to the standard point-and-click one solution philosophy, something I should learn to expect, but keep hoping will be innovated on and turned on it's head. Only one set of interactions and items will solve your problems as Florentine the Inventor Ant, eager to repair his wood chipping machine so he can go back to day dreaming about traveling the world. Luckily, the story and characters are engaging, even if they are simple, and Florentine is animated and characterized beautifully. You're able to see his thoughts from time to time, which act as the game's hint system, but also timers, clues and quest objectives. This aspect of AntVentor is incredibly well done.
Unfortunately, the map design and layout of the areas in the game can be confusing. There's not a ton of backtracking, but there are a few paths that are VERY hard to see. Florentine will give you a hint eventually, showing you a little photo of where you need to go, but it felt frustrating being stuck, only to realize that we could indeed go right, while there was no hint that I could.
The puzzles in AntVentor have a wonderful bit of humor to them. They're all a little cheeky and have a bit of wit, giving the game a wonderful sense of silliness and sarcasm as you explore. It's a phenomnal tone for a point and click adventure, I just wish there was more of it.
Even with getting stuck a couple of times trying to figure out where to go, AntVentor only took me about 40 minutes to finish. Even at it's low cost of $4.99, I was left wanting more for my money. LoopyMood Games is already working on a "second, more ambitious chapter", which sounds like the perfect next step.
AntVentor feels like a dish you'd get at a fancy restaurant: a beautifully realized, characterful and spirited slice of a point-and-click adventure, but ultimately just a bite, leaving me hungry for more. I'm incredibly happy to see that LoopyMood Games is already planning more chapters, and cannot wait to see what they create next: they've proven they have technical chops to make a wonderful and witty experience, and have left my eager for the next course.

How to Watch Simone Biles in the Olympic Gymnastics Balance Beam Final Online
United States Olympic star Simone Biles is scheduled to compete in the women's balance beam final, one of three events scheduled to start airing at 1 p.m. EST. On Tuesday, Biles is set to compete in the women's floor exercise during the same slot on Tuesday.
Among her competitors are two fellow Americans: Laurie Hernandez in the balance beam category and Aly Raisman in floor exercise.
Those with a cable subscription can stream the finals on the NBC Olympics website, so you don't have to miss a single double backflip.
Aside from Hernandez, Biles will be competing against six other women Monday, representing six different countries: Brazil, Canada, China, France, the Netherlands and Romania.
Biles already has three 2016 Rio Olympics gold medals under her belt, including the women's individual all-round, women's team all-round and women's vault, which she won Sunday.
Suffice it to say, expectations are high — much like her jumps.

Pfister is a very well known household brand for Switzerland.

3- Bruges coffee table by MaisonDuMonde
Maison du Monde or Home of the world is yet another household brand for furniture in Switzerland. As part of my visit to French speaking side of Switzerland, I had a chance to visit the Etoy Maison Du Monde. As a lover of home décor, I like this bruges coffee table on display in their Etoy branch. Currently, this base table costs just 529.90 CHF. The Bruges comes in two size, one is at 100x100x30cm.

Micasa is the least expensive tea table seller in Etoy, I find. What attracts me the most when visiting Micasa etoy is this block of massive wooden tea table. I must say, this is a unique coffee table that you will ever find around the world because each piece is a cut from a real tree. And since it is made from a real trunk of a tree, it is not the cheapest tea table around, currently Micasa sells Warren table for 199CHF

Nature: Establishment/event/place
City: Sharn (Firelight district, in Lower Menthis)
The Burning Ring isn't found in a specific location in Firelight. It moves frequently, as the City Watch keeps trying to shut it down, but it seems to find a place to operate every night. It offers blood sport, gladiator-style combat conducted by amateur and professional warriors.
The combat is real — the combatants use a variety of weapons but wear no armor — and sometimes matches end in death. Ideally, the healer on hand for every fight reaches a fallen combatant before he dies, but sometimes the fallen are beyond help. Death only seems to make the crowds cheer louder.
The ringmaster is Hoas Junter, who has extensive connections to the Daask gang. Sometimes his connections help him bring in a monster as a combatant to the crowd's utter delight. The monster usually wins.
Finding the Burning Ring on any given night requires a DC 20 "Gather Info" Diplomacy check, which must be made in Firelight or Torchfire.

At MIRC we are lucky enough to own an extensive fleet of more than seventy boats from our top Filippi 8+ through to Mondego training sculls for the absolute beginner.
All club owned boats are available to be used by all members however to help protect our equipment we run by a colour coded system which can be found on the bows on every boat. All boats are allocated by the Director of Rowing, in conjunction with the Rowing Committee, so if you have any doubt about being able to use a boat please ask first. This allows the club to share equipment but to protect its assets by spreading the use of boats amongst ability. We do however understand that equipment breaks and gets accidentally damaged. If a breakage happen please report it to the boat master via email this will allow us to maintain our fleet.
The majority of the club's oars are made by Concept 2 and are set to certain lengths and inboards which help tailor for an extensive and varied group of athletes from U14 girls and Masters to high performance rowers.
Our gym has a range of free weights some fixed weight lifting machines, and twelve concept 2 rowing ergometers.
Finally at the club we do offer limited racking for private rowing boats where a racking fee is payable and varies depending on type of boat and location.

The opposition in Georgia has raised eyebrows because it was Deal's predecessor, fellow Republican Sonny Perdue, who helped develop the Common Core principles in the first place.
Conservatives from Georgia and Alabama to Michigan and Indiana have lambasted the Common Core proposal as an intrusive mandate from the federal government. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) withdrew his state from Common Core's governing board earlier this month. Michigan's Republican-controlled legislature will hold hearings skeptical of Common Core. And a local Alabama Republican Party publicly condemned the Alabama legislature and its local member of the state school board for failing to nix Common Core standards.
Both President Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan are strongly supportive of the standards, but it's not their own: It grew out of a National Governors Association panel co-chaired by Perdue, whom no one could accuse of being a liberal, and Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, a Democrat.
"In the National Governors Association, we had been looking at what was happening internationally, and the bench marks they were using internationally, and where our students across the United States were falling. I guess that's a double-edged word there, 'falling,'" Perdue said in an interview. "It's as if we in the United States were like Garrison Keillor in Lake Wobegon: We just thought all our kids were above average, and the stats didn't support that."
"We understood that, as a nation, our students were falling behind internationally, and in a globally competitive environment, we felt as governors, it was our job to have a world-class education for our students."
Common Core aims to set uniform bench marks for educational attainment for elementary and high school students, Perdue said. Instead of imposing a common curriculum, it sets "common proficiency targets." The federal government has a long history of meddling in state education policies, Perdue said, and imposing an agreement between states — led by Republican and Democratic governors alike — would be a way to avoid future national mandates.
"We felt like we needed to take steps as governors to actually prevent a federal mandate that came in this area. We saw No Child Left Behind as somewhat of an intrusion in state business," Perdue said. "We didn't want another federal mandate that came in and said, 'Here's what your state looks like compared to Switzerland,' or wherever."
"We felt something had to be done, and while the No Child Left Behind law was kind of a call to arms on accountability, it left every state to its own yardstick."
Markell said Common Core standards would be particularly valuable to military families that move frequently from base to base.
"If you think about this from a perspective of a military family, they move every 18 months. What's taught in fourth grade in one state could be taught in fifth grade in another. It's ridiculous — think how hard it is for them to have any kind of continuity in their education," Markell said.
Perdue said he was particularly influenced by "Tough Choices or Tough Times," a report [pdf] by the National Center on Education and the Economy's New Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce. That report, issued in 2010, found American students falling behind their international counterparts in advanced industrial nations in math, science and general literacy. (The commission included members as diverse as Rod Paige, George W. Bush's secretary of education; John Engler, the former Republican governor of Michigan; Bill Brock, the former Republican senator from Tennessee; Joel Klein, then the New York City public schools chancellor; and Marc Morial, the president of the National Urban League.)
Perdue said he was deeply frustrated by the assumptions that Common Core comes from the federal government. "What concerns me most about this is that the paranoia has developed into innuendo and rumors that are not based on fact," he said. "Our strength [as conservatives] comes from being informed and factual."
"We all said we want an educated society and an educated state, but it's incumbent upon us to define what an education is," Perdue said. "You can't miss these marks in first, third, fifth, eighth grade and come out with a brilliant college student."

1. The Nature of God – We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
2. The Word of God – We believe that God has revealed Himself in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. We believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, the complete revelation of God's will and the final authority for Christian faith and life.
3. The Nature of Mankind – We believe that God originally made human beings in His divine image. We believe that Mankind fell into sin through disobedience, bringing depravity and death upon the race. We believe humans are sinful and unable to break with sin apart from Divine Grace.
4. Jesus Christ – We believe that Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and mankind. We believe that He is fully God and fully human, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for atonement for our sins by His substitutionary death on the cross, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father and is interceding for us as our heavenly High Priest.
5. Salvation – We believe that salvation from sin and eternal separation from God is received through God's grace and by faith in Christ and His atoning death. Salvation is freely offered to all who turn from their sins and believe in Christ as Savior and Lord.
6. The Ministry of the Holy Spirit – We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Christ, to convict people of sin, to effect the new birth, to give guidance in life, and to empower the Christian believer for life and ministry.
7. The Church: The Body of Christ – We believe that the church is the body of Christ, the family of the redeemed, a people obedient to the Word of God, and a fellowship of love, service. We believe that Christ commissioned the church to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations and to minister to every human need.
8. The Ordinances of the Church:
Water Baptism – We believe that those who turn from their sins and believe in Christ should be baptized in water as a symbol of death to the old sinful life, cleansing from sin, and the resurrection life of the Holy Spirit. It also marks a commitment to follow Christ.
Communion – We believe that the church should corporately observe the communion of the Lord's Supper as a symbol of remembrance and as a witness of Christ's atoning death for our redemption until His return.
9. The Kingdom of God – We believe that the kingdom of God is the dynamic rule and reign of God. We believe that the kingdom of God is both a present, yet partial, reality, as well as a future state that will become the fullness of all reality when all God's enemies are destroyed and the new heavens and new earth are established for eternity.
10. The Hereafter – We believe that at death the unsaved enter into everlasting punishment and the redeemed enter into glory with Christ, who is coming again, and will raise the dead, sit in judgment, and bring in the culmination of God's everlasting kingdom.

ANDY COLE signed for Blackburn Rovers for £8 million on Saturday - £1 million more than Sir Alex Ferguson paid Newcastle for him in 1995.
Graeme Souness, the Blackburn manager, had been after the 30-year-old since the summer and yesterday he got his man when Cole passed a medical at Ewood Park. He signed a contract that expires in 2005.
Cole has made only seven Premiership starts since the arrival of Ruud van Nistelrooy at Old Trafford this season and he is worried that he could miss out on a chance to go to the World Cup next summer if he does not make more first-team appearances.
He has 15 England caps but has scored only once for his country. That goal came earlier this season in a World Cup qualifier in Albania that England won 3-1. But he has not figured in Sven-Goran Eriksson's past four starting line-ups.
"You want to be playing week in, week out at my age," Cole said yesterday. "Being on the bench was just not good enough at Manchester United." The striker added that he believed Souness could emulate Kenny Dalglish at Rovers and take Blackburn to the top of the Premiership.
However, Ferguson is said to be annoyed with the board for forcing him to sell Cole ahead of Dwight Yorke, who is also struggling to find a place in the side this season.
Souness admitted that Blackburn had been weak in attack, despite the arrival of Corrado Grabbi for £6.75 million and he sees Cole as the player who can revive his team, who were beaten at home by Derby yesterday and have now only won one of their past eight league games.
"The obvious area where we are weak is that we don't score enough goals, and Andy has got a track record in the Premier League second only to Alan Shearer's," said the Blackburn manager.
"We are a team that normally creates a lot of chances but we just haven't been putting the ball in the net."
Souness, who failed in a bid to sign Robbie Fowler last month, beat Sunderland and Aston Villa to sign the striker. Cole moved from Newcastle United for £7 million in 1995 and has scored 124 goals in 234 appearances for Manchester United, including five in one game during his first season when United beat Ipswich 9-0.
In 1999 he formed a formidable strike partnership with Yorke as United won the treble. He has won five Premiership winners medals and two FA Cups with the club and also holds the club record for most European goals with 20.
Ferguson had repeatedly assured him this season that he still had an important role at United but the board, it seems, were keen to recoup the money spent on him before he reached his mid-thirties.
Cole will be Blackburn's highest paid player if they match the £45,000-a-week that United were paying him.

I don't know about you, but I am feeling the money crunch at the grocery store. We eat a good share of ground beef around here since it can be flavored and used hundreds of ways, it is affordable, and I can stretch it with some great sides like I had done here with the fajita bowls. I think I had my first sizzling Steak Fajitas back in the 80's when TGIFridays made their debut in our town, and it was finally a restaurant my brother and I could agree on for our birthday celebration. After a pile of Potato Skins, which we loved, we devoured our fajitas, and then some obnoxious dessert presented to us by singing waiters. Ground Beef Fajita Bowls is another Deconstructed Dinner that pleased my gang.
For your Fajita Bowls, may I suggest…
cooked rice of choice
sautéed red bell peppers and onions
ground beef fajita meat, recipe below
pico de gallo
shredded cheese
sour cream
chopped mango
cilantro leaves
jalapeños if desired for heat
lime wedges
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1½- 2 tsp garlic salt, to taste
- 4 tsp ground cumin
- Juice of one lime
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, crumble and brown ground beef.
- Drain if necessary.
- Place back on heat and add seasonings starting with 1½ tsp garlic salt and adjusting if needed. Stir until seasonings are distributed.
- Just before serving, squeeze the juice of one lime over entire pan of meat.
Rice, pico de gallo, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, chopped mango, sautéed peppers and onions, and jalapeños.

Though 'tis not enough to make up for my complete neglect of these tender pages, here are the strawberries who personally welcomed me to Southern California.
Leaving grey, snowy, dreary, cold, gorgeous, fateful New York wasn't so hard in the depths of March as luck would have it. And trolling the local farmers market on the first Sunday here yielded an agricultural orgasm of the strawberry variety. With this much sunshine it's no wonder passionfruit are for sale at 30 cents each.
SoCal has changed since last I lived here. That alien plague of Hipsters has infected these desert lands as they have all habitable parts of the planet (Papua New Guinea are you immune?). The food scene has blessedly departed from the ubiquitous, trophy-wife inspired tuna tartare and Cobb salad to a more locavor-ian style of meat and veggie presentation. Dining and drinking is no longer dominated by Shrek-necks with tribal tattoos drinking under coconut cabanas while their Ugg boot wearing girlfriends pick their Victoria's Secret booty shorts out of their asses. And for this and many other blessings I am grateful.
So here I am. Let's see what happens next.
Not paid for by the California Tourism Commission.
But they should give me a holler if they would like to. I need a job.

Network coding based resource efficient congestion control for video streaming
The paper proposes a resource efficient solution
for Network Coding (NC) based congestion control consisting
in identification around the congested links of multiple
butterfly or other low complexity NC-capable topologies by
using the Discrete Lagrange Multiplier optimization algorithm.
The identification of the NC-capable topologies is
based on the resource management capabilities foreseen for
the network entities of the Future Internet. The congestion
control issue is tackled by separate encoding of appropriately
selected groups of data flows passing through the bottleneck
link. By optimal selection of the data flows to be encoded,
the additional network resources required by the NC
operations can be minimized. The encoding is realized by
using an XOR-based algorithm adapted for unequal bit rate
data flows, and the experimental performances are reported
here. Due to its efficient usage of the network resources and
high degree of scalability, the congestion control solution
proposed in this paper is suitable for large bit rate transmissions,
like video streaming

Chef Eric Skokan's Beef Pot au Feu
- Mar 12, 2015
By Eric Skokan, from his new book Farm Fork Food (Kyle Books, 2014)
Taking cues from Chinese cuisine, I've combined meat and seafood to create a broth that resonates with deep flavor. The cauliflower adds a tender crunch and the watercress adds a spice note similar to wasabi. I look for richly marbled cuts of beef, such as short ribs, shanks, chuck and neck for this dish, as they yield a velvety smooth texture after cooking.
Serves 4
2 cups cauliflower florets
2 pounds beef chuck, or
3 pounds bone-in neck
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 tablespoons sliced ginger
¼ cup minced garlic
2 quarts beef stock
One 5-inch piece dried kombu seaweed
1 stalk lemongrass, chopped
2 tablespoons dried shrimp
Sea salt
12 baby onions, trimmed
12 baby carrots, trimmed
4 spring onions, cut into 2-inch lengths
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
½ cup watercress leaves
1 tablespoon sesame oil
- In a medium pot over high heat, blanch the cauliflower in boiling salted water until tender.
- Refresh under running water or ice. Set aside.
- In a heavy-bottomed braising pan over high heat, cook the beef in the oil until browned, about 10 minutes.
- Toss in the onion, ginger and garlic and cook for 4 minutes more. Add the stock, seaweed, lemongrass and
dried shrimp. Season the broth with salt. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer until the beef is
very tender, about 6 hours. (After browning, a slow cooker may also be used to cook the beef.)
- Transfer the beef to a platter and, using a fine sieve, strain the broth into a clean, large pot.
- Return the pot to low heat and add the baby onions, carrots and beef. Poach until the vegetables are just tender. Add the cauliflower and the spring onions. Season the broth with salt and add the rice vinegar.
- In a small bowl, dress the watercress with the sesame oil. Season with salt and toss.
- Divide the beef and vegetables among four large bowls. Top each with the hot broth and watercress and serve immediately.

They've sealed off the oil that's
been gushing out of the Earth's core
for nearly three months now.
It really begs the question:
Why didn't they have this cap 3 months ago?
Why didn't they have this cap 3 months ago?
Hey, I've got an idea...
let's plan that something might go wrong
and have a cap standing by just in case.
Why wasn't this the first idea that came to mind?
"Well, we've got a cap, but let's let it gush for a bit."
Wake up, oil industry... and put a lid on it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about the NJ Uniform Construction Code process
Is there any construction work that I may perform without obtaining a Construction Permit?
The Uniform Construction Code identifies an extremely short list of work that may be done without a construction permit. This is enumerated in N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7, titled Ordinary Maintenance. Examples of the types of repair that may be done without a construction permit are:
- Installation and replacement of a window or door in its existing opening;
- Repair or replacement of kitchen cabinets;
- Replacement of not more than 25% of roofing or siding within a 12-month period;
- Replacement of a toilet or sink at the same location in a single-family dwelling; however the toilet must use 1.6 gallons of water or less per flush.
May I ever begin work before I receive my construction permit?
There are some tasks that are recognized by the Uniform Construction Code, in N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.17A, as "minor work." In these cases the owner or his authorized representative must notify the enforcing agency before the work begins. A written application must be filed within five days of the date of the notice. Examples of minor work include:
- Replacement of a hot water heater;
- Replacement of more than 25% of the exterior siding on a one- or two-family dwelling.
Can I certify that I prepared the plans for renovations to my single family home if the contractor drew the plans after we discussed what I wanted?
No, even if you have participated in the planning process, you may only certify to plans that you drew yourself. Certifying to plans that were prepared by someone else would be considered a false or fraudulent statement. If you make a false statement such as this and are discovered you may be fined and your permit may be revoked. The fines may be over $1,000 for each fraudulent statement.
Is there anything that I can do if an element of my project cannot meet the precise requirements of the code?
You may request a variation of the code, specifying the code section from which you need relief, as well as a description of the practical difficulty that you are having in meeting the regulations. You must show that the exception would not create any health or safety problems. This request must be reviewed and approved by the Subcode Official authorized to review the technical merits of the code section in question and the construction official. If they do not grant the request for a variation, you may continue the appeal at the Construction Board of Appeals. There is a Construction Board of Appeals for each county and many municipalities have local boards.
Can my local building department inspect the construction of a project for which the plans were reviewed by DCA?
Local Enforcing Agencies may inspect all types of projects except the few that have been explicitly reserved for DCA. If, however, there is a need to change the plans during construction, the proposed change must be authorized by the plan review agency.
Why did the inspection pass when the contractor didn't perform the work in accordance with my plans?
The enforcing agency is required to determine if the work conforms to the requirements of the code, not your plans. The code is both the minimum and maximum standard that the agency may apply when determining whether the work passes an inspection. If you have included items of work that are superior to what the code requires it is a contractual matter not a code compliance matter. I recommend that you engage an individual to monitor the progress of the work to make sure that the finished product meets your expectations.
What suggestions can you offer for having the best working relationship with the local building department?
- Be polite.
- Fill out your applications neatly and completely.
- Understand that it is your responsibility to show that the prior approvals have been satisfied.
- Make sure that the electrician and plumber have sealed their portion of the application.
- Make sure that the design plans are complete, legible and include the name, license number, address, phone number and seal of the designer.
- Don't expect that your project should go to the top of the review list just because you're in a hurry. Most of the other applicants are, as well.
- Understand that your plans may need to be reviewed by three or more different individuals. If the information they need to approve the applications is missing, your project is stalled, each time, until it has been provided.
- Don't fabricate stories – we have pretty much heard them all and know when you're lying.
- Make sure that you are ready for inspection when you call to request one.
- Keep copies of the approved plans and specifications on the job.

Berger's Promise to "Protect the Classroom" a Complete Sham
Real Data from NC Public Schools Reveals Fraudulent Claims by State Lawmakers and Underscores Need to the Pass the President's American Jobs Act
Progress North Carolina today called on State Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger and other state lawmakers to admit their broken promises to "protect the classroom" and to correct their damage to North Carolina's public schools by supporting President Obama's American Jobs Act.
Sen. Berger said that one of three basic promises Republicans made this is was to "protect the classroom." See here. In June, Berger said, " You said you wanted full funding for teachers and teacher assistants. In this budget, you got that." [Youtube, 6/10/11]
Instead, Sen. Berger, and other state lawmakers who voted for the state budget, approved a spending plan which has led to the lay off of 1,853 teachers and teaching assistants across the state. The state budget also forced school districts to eliminate 4,311 classroom positions across North Carolina. The data was updated by the NC Dept. of Public Instruction in September.
"Sen. Berger and other state law-makers clearly promised to 'protect the classroom' and then turned their back on students and our schools," said Gerrick Brenner, Executive Director for Progress North Carolina. "The result is damaging cuts and North Carolina now ranked 49th among states in per pupil funding. Even Mississippi invests more money per student to educate its children."
So far, neither Sen. Berger nor any other state lawmaker who voted for the budget has come forward to admit their broken promises on public schools. "We don't know if Sen. Berger was just grossly mistaken or downright dishonest," said Brenner. "But if Berger really did want to 'protect the classroom,' he really got it wrong. Berger and others who voted for this state budget can make up for their mistakes by supporting the President's American Jobs Act. Berger helped craft a state budget which slashed thousands of teaching jobs. If he and other state lawmakers really do want to 'protect the classroom' like they claimed, the least they can do now is publicly support a federal plan to hire them back."
The Center for American Progress estimates the American Jobs Act would create 13,400 teaching jobs in North Carolina. This would more than make up for the classroom positions slashed by Sen. Berger and other state lawmakers who voted for the state budget back in June.

Five Questions to Ask Yourself While Creating a New Documentation Department
by Eric Butow
Editor's Notes Being asked to take the reins of a brand new documentation department is a challenge that many professional technical writers relish, even though the training and development activities they participated in may never have prepared them for such a rewarding challenge. This article looks at forming a new documentation department and determining what's needed, when it's needed and what resources are available to help the new department carry out its mission.Congratulations! You're the manager of your company's emerging documentation department — and your work has just begun. To create effective documentation for your customers, you not only have to build a sound team, but also build working relationships with all other departments in your company. In my contracting travels, I've set up two new documentation departments in two very different settings. My first was a documentation department for a startup networking software company in 1999. The company's only previous documentation was a slim manual written by a programmer. In 2004, I helped set up a new documentation department at the financial aid division for a major bank. Over the years, this division had been passed along to different parent banks — the newest of which was shocked to find that no one had written documentation about financial-aid processes, and no documentation about the software they had used during the division's last 20 years! As a result, the new parent organization decided that relying on the institutional memories of its employees was a major risk, so the documentation department was born. When you create your own documentation department, you should ask yourself five simple questions that will help your new department show its value to the company as quickly as possible. These questions are similar to those that a good reporter must answer when documenting a story — who, what, where, why, and how? — and they are as important for a documentation department manager as they are for an ace journalist. The questions are:
- What has to be done?
- When must things be done?
- Who must be hired to get things done?
- What must I use to get things done?
- How will the department's place in the org chart help me get things done?

My name is Jite and for me, this blog is a devotion and reminder to myself and to anyone who by the Grace of God, happens to read not to take Grace for granted. Although I grew up Christian, I spent most of my life as what I would call a "casual Christian." Yes, I believed in God, but it didn't show up in my thoughts, words or behavior. I had friends who told me they didn't even realize I was Christian.
In 2012, I went through a major health challenge that made me re-evaluate my life and my faith. Making it through that challenge, I knew I wanted to start afresh with God. I shaved my head (somewhat unrelated) and decided to dedicate my life to living intentionally in Christ. I no longer take Him for granted or take my faith for granted. I am a work in progress.
Everyday I check into God's Word and many days He speaks to my often weak and doubting heart and enriches my soul with His love and strength. I used to write notes to myself so I could refer to these nuggets of blessings but then I also loved in fear that my notes would get lost somehow. Indeed, I no longer have them all.
In New Year 2014, God laid it on my heart to share His messages to me with others. Not only would this be a way to hold on to His Word, but being a super shy introvert, maybe it would be a way to share the messages I found so helpful with other people as God calls us to do in His Word. I started by emailing my family semi-regularly but then eventually was inspired to set up this blog.
If only one other person reads something on here and is blessed with something here then I am happy. That is my purpose.

I have been working for the game "Bingo Battle" as an art director, my main job has been to create the environments, character design, some game mechanics, gameplay concepts and ideas, but mostly my job was about the creation of the core visuals.
I created lots of designs for the UI but they were changed or adapted later on by the design team.
The game also features a character animation made by another artist but I will be taking over and change soon since I'm not happy with the end result (the one from the tutorial and repeats on random message screens).
The screen shown here are 100% created by me :) (if you play the game you can see what changed) and there are many more visuals created for the game but I don't want to spoil the fun.
The game is live and you can play for free at this link:
