Flashback and Foodie Friday ~ Happy Cinco de Mayo Week
It's been a long, busy week. Food has been, for the most part, quickly put together with a few leftovers thrown in. I guess that's what my Flashback Friday feature is really...good ole leftovers! (By the way..if you want to join in I have Mr. Linky up this week) I was trying hard to fit into the Cinco de Mayo theme of this weeks Foodie Friday hosted by Designs by Gollum.
I love Mexican food, but I couldn't seem to find many pics in my archives of Mexican food that I've actually prepared. My Taco Salad is about as close as I could get from back in February 2008.
Taco Salad
There really isn't a recipe. You put in what you like. Mine usually has:
Tortilla chips, crushed
ground beef
olives (which I leave off of Randy's)
sour cream
Some other things that would be great on this are black beans, avocados or fresh tomatoes. The sour cream and salsa make the "dressing". This all gets jumbled together but it's not nearly as nice a picture as when it's kind of layered on.
I took very few garden shots in February 2008 and who wants to go back to February weather right now anyways? So how about a few shots from August of 2007. We can all pretend there's a warm summer breeze blowing and maybe that we are sipping on a Margarita!
I'd like to put in a big plug for my friend Barb's upcoming Mother's Day Tribute event on May 8th. I know she'd like to have all of you join in. Go check it out at Foley's Follies.
So let's give Mr. Linky a try this time!

My First Daring Baker Challenge~Abbey's Infamous Cheesecake
The April 2009 challenge is hosted by Jenny from Jenny Bakes. She has chosen Abbey's Infamous Cheesecake as the challenge. I am forever saying..."I've always wanted to try that." I say it a lot..a whole lot. Ask Randy... It's my standard excuse when I want to mess up the kitchen. So the Daring Baker Challenge sounded like something right up my alley. Once a month a recipe challenge is posted. I've seen them do some pretty complicated stuff. Luckily for me the first challenge was actually something I've made before *Whew* Wouldn't want to flub on my first try! A very delicious Cheesecake recipe was chosen by Jenny of Jenny Bakes. There are plenty of cheesecake recipes out there, but this one is surely a keeper. Jenny was pretty clear that we could play with the recipe a bit to make it our own. I didn't monkey with it too much, but did make some necessary changes. Necessary because there is no way I was going to have a whole giant cheesecake in the house with just the two of us. Doesn't Jenny know I'm trying to lose weight? :-) To remedy this whole cheesecake dilemma, I made little cheesecakettes. And I only made 1/3 of the recipe, which made 10 muffin sized cheesecakes. Here is the recipe as Jenny presented it. My changes follow.
Abbey's Infamous Cheesecake:
2 cups / 180 g graham cracker crumbs
1 stick / 4 oz butter, melted
2 tbsp. / 24 g sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 sticks of cream cheese, 8 oz each (total of 24 oz) room temperature
1 cup / 210 g sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup / 8 oz heavy cream
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. vanilla extract (or the innards of a vanilla bean)
1 tbsp liqueur, optional, but choose what will work well with your cheesecake
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (Gas Mark 4 = 180C = Moderate heat). Begin to boil a large pot of water for the water bath.
2. Mix together the crust ingredients and press into your preferred pan. You can press the crust just into the bottom, or up the sides of the pan too - baker's choice. Set crust aside.
3. Combine cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of a stand-mixer (or in a large bowl if using a hand-mixer) and cream together until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Make sure to scrape down the bowl in between each egg. Add heavy cream, vanilla, lemon juice, and alcohol and blend until smooth and creamy.
4. Pour batter into prepared crust and tap the pan on the counter a few times to bring all air bubbles to the surface. Place pan into a larger pan and pour boiling water into the larger pan until halfway up the side of the cheesecake pan. If cheesecake pan is not airtight, cover bottom securely with foil before adding water.
5. Bake 45 to 55 minutes, until it is almost done - this can be hard to judge, but you're looking for the cake to hold together, but still have a lot of jiggle to it in the center. You don't want it to be completely firm at this stage. Close the oven door, turn the heat off, and let rest in the cooling oven for one hour. This lets the cake finish cooking and cool down gently enough so that it won't crack on the top. After one hour, remove cheesecake from oven and lift carefully out of water bath. Let it finish cooling on the counter, and then cover and put in the fridge to chill. Once fully chilled, it is ready to serve.Suzy's Changes: I only had reduced fat cream cheese on hand and that performed beautifully. I had no liquor I wanted to use in the recipe so in half I added almond extract to one half and the other half got rum extract . Those with rum got a chocolate graham cracker crust with almond meal added. The rest were regular graham cracker crust but had pecans added to the mixture.
I thought the rum flavored ones tasted just like the Rum balls my Mom used to make at Christmas time. So let's call this one Rum Ball Cheesecake. The design was done with chocolate syrup.
For the rest of the cheesecakettes, I made a blackberry syrup using blackberries I picked and froze last summer. Mmmmmmm..these were my favorite.
So that was fun..my first Daring Baker challenge. So much fun I'm going to be doing a Daring Cooker challenge too!
With spring in full force I would feel remiss if I didn't include just a little bit of bouquet in this post.

Flashback and Foodie Friday ~ BBQ Shrimp
Being from Louisiana I grew up eating lots of seafood and I love it. Especially Shrimp!!! I've eaten shrimp elsewhere but there is, in my opinion, nothing that quite compares to Gulf shrimp. Maybe something about the warm water? This week I flashback to last August. Some of my online buddies and I had a virtual Garden Party. On my menu was BBQ Shrimp, New Orleans style. It's not realllllllly barbecued. Not really sure where they came up with that name. I do know the original was made at a Restaurant in New Orleans called Pascal's Manale.
I used this recipe from the NOLA Cuisine blog as inspiration for my dish. I didn't have shrimp with the heads on available so mine were headless and the beer was probably Bud Light..good enough quality for me!
New Orleans Style Barbecue Shrimp Recipe
2 Sticks of Unsalted Butter
2 Tbsp Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
1/2 tsp Fresh Oregano, chopped
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary, chopped
1/2 Cup Abita Amber beer, or another good quality beer
1 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp Crystal Hot Sauce
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp Black Pepper, freshly cracked
3 Tbsp Italian Parsley, minced
1 Tbsp Kosher Salt
Cayenne pepper to taste
2 lbs Head on/shell on shrimp
Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F.
Melt 2 Tbsp of the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until slightly browned. Add the fresh herbs and cook for 2 minutes. Deglaze with the beer, reduce by half.
Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire, hot sauce, black pepper, kosher salt, cayenne pepper and the shrimp, tossing to coat well. Transfer the shrimp, the rest of the butter and sauce to a baking dish where the shrimp can bake in the sauce in a single layer. Place into the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Do not over cook the shrimp!
Serve in a large bowl with the chopped parley, your favorite beer, and lots of fresh French Bread for dipping in the sauce.
Serves 2.
My flower garden was really colorful and full around that time. The summer wasn't very hot last year and although it was August things were still looking pretty perky. Those are the times I realllly appreciate living in the Pacific Northwest. Just thinking about eating shrimp outside in Louisiana in August makes me sweat! And start swatting and imaginary mosquitos...
I can't wait to see this shaggy daisy bloom again. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. It's sitting next to 'Hot Lips' salvia which looks unfortunately sad this spring after our cold winter. I hope it makes it because it's definitely on my favorite list.
Looks like a jungle!
Can't you just smell these oriental lilies?
And look at the little juicy raspberry just waiting to be picked
I'm not sure of the name of this tall phlox but I love the candycane look about it.
Another great thing about gardening up here....hydrangeas all summer long!
Thanks for joining me for the flashback!

Outdoor Wednesday ~ Happy Earth Day!
Susan at A Southern Daydreamer holds an event every week called Outdoor Wednesday. Be sure and go to her site to check out all of the other great posts. I figured Earth Day was a great first time to join in! Almost all of the trees are sprouting out now and we are well into spring here. I love that I can take a spin around the yard in the evenings after work now that the days are getting longer. I usually take my camera with me and snap a few shots.
Yesterday evening was perfect temperature wise and the skies were so gorgeous
I hope to have clematis and roses on this arbor later this year
I love the sunset colors of this osteospurnum I bought this past weekend
Those same colors are echoed in this favorite tulip of mine, Princess Irene
The bleeding hearts are starting their show. Who couldn't love a plant that grows hearts!!!!
Another tulip with colors to match the hearts!
I thought I'd share my Wall O' Waters that are hiding 3 tomato plants. I am about a month ahead of my "planting out date" but I remembered I had these in the shed that I've never tried. I think we will have a touch of frost tomorrow night so I am hoping they work!!!! If they do we will have Early Girl, Mr. Stripey and Lemon boy in a few months :-)
Which brings me to the Kitchen part of this Kitchen Bouquet post. My favorite sandwich of all times is a fresh Tomato and cheese (american slice) with mayonnaise on white bread. The taste of summer for me! Back home in Louisiana I might expect to enjoy one in June..here...I'll be lucky to get one before August is over!!!!

Cookie Cravings!
I admit to being impulsive and easily swayed by many things...food being tops on the list!!! Plant an idea in my head or show me a pretty picture of food that really catches my fancy and I will obsess about it for days until I make it. Weight Watchers is grateful for that trait of mine!! It means they will probably have my business until the day I die :-) I make this little confession because I had one of those episodes on Friday. Ahrisha of the Joyously Living Life blog stopped by and commented on my Everything But the Kitchen Sink cookie post and asked if I'd like to swap cookie recipes with her..so I traipsed over to her blog to check out her cookies. I had to have them! I am a sucker for old fashioned cookies that have been around forever...so long that nobody remembers where they came from. Lepp Cakes just sounded intriguing to me and looked so soft and cute. Because I know cakey type cookies are generally less in calories I ran this recipe through the WW recipe builder and low and behold...with one minor tweak I had them at 1 pt a piece! Never mind I could eat 10 at a time........
Ahrisha iced her cookies with frosting. To lighten mine up I used a Meyer Lemon glaze instead. Still sweet without adding too many calories. I know I'm emphasizing the nutritional aspect of these cookies..and that is purely for my benefit and piece of mind, but don't let that put you off. These are very tastey, homey, soft, yummy cookies.
And by all means if you want them frosted I whole heartedly suggest buttercream!!! I just so happened to have a little bowl of some in the fridge left over from some other project. So I didn't think it would hurt to try it on a few. I have been wanting to try the little heart pan I picked up at Goodwill a while back and this recipe seemed perfect. I put 3 teaspoonfuls of batter in each little heart. They cooked up beautifully.
I'm glad I only made six though...they are a little TOO good!!
Here is my version of the recipe. I looked and looked to find out why they are called Lepp but couldn't really find anything that said why. I suppose Mrs. Lepp made really good ones!!!
Henry's Lepp Cakes
1- 1/2 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Butter
2 Eggs
1 c. Sour Cream (I used low fat with success)
1 tsp. Vanilla
2-1/2 c. Flour
1/2 tsp. EACH Salt, Baking Powder, Baking Soda
Cream sugar and butter. Beat in eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Sift in flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and mix well. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto parchment or silicone mat lined pan and bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until top springs back when touched. Mine took 12 minutes. Cool cookies for a couple of minutes on pan then remove to cooling rack.
Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 3-4 Tbls of lemon juice..enough to get it pretty thin. I poured a tiny amount on top of each cooled cookie and spread the glaze over the top then lightly poured on sprinkles.
Trying to compete with the goodies in the kitchen, the flowering red currant is looking sweet in my garden right now!

Flashback and Foodie Friday ~ Everything but the Kitchen Sink Cookies
Time for another Flashback Friday! I dug way back to September 2007 for this one. I really would love to make some of these great cookies right NOW! They are so chockful of all kinds of goodies. I will just dream about them instead. Less calories!!! But for the rest of you I wholeheartedly recommend them :-)
Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies
from Cookie Madness
I'd like to subtitle these "Everything but the Kitchen Sink Cookies"!
About 30 cookies
1 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup toasted pecans
1/2 cup shredded coconut
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F or 350 degrees if you'd like softer cookies.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture until well blended. Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, pecans and coconut until evenly distributed. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven for a chewy cookie or 14 minutes for a firmer cookie.
Cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheet and then remove to wire rack. Cool completely and then store in tightly sealed container.
Suzy's note: I tried these with a cup of raisins along with the other additions. Over the top on the add ins, but Randy likes raisins. I also had to cook 3 minutes longer in my gas oven.
Around that same time I was baking these cookies, the dahlias were going strong in my fall garden.

Easter Leftovers and a Surprise!
The leftovers were as good as the main meal. This ham I bought was so moist and smoked really well. Great flavor! The only thing I did was make a little glaze for the last 30 minutes of pineapple juice and brown sugar. I thought it looked kind of like a Christmas tree!
Besides the ham there were Candied Yams, Luscious Potato Casserole, Swiss chard,Leeks and tomatoes, pineapples and cherries, plus deviled eggs. I also made rolls..they were sad. I have tried twice with Randy's mom's recipe and failed both times. I know exactly what I did wrong each time, so maybe third time will be the charm. They were more like biscuits :-)
The Luscious Potato Casserole is a recipe my former sister-in-law Cathy used to make. It's rich and fattening but oh so good. Definitely not an everynight dish but worth a try
Luscious Potato Casserole
8 medium size potatoes, boiled with skin on (Chill overnight or at least cool)
1 lg can evaporated milk
1 stick margarine
1/2 lb velveeta or other cheese
1 tsp salt
1 medium onion, chopped
Sour cream
bacon bits
Slice cooled potatoes and place in a buttered 9x13 casserole dish. Put milk, margarine, salt, cheese and onions in a sauce pan and cook on medium until cheese and margarine is melted. Pour this mixture over potatoes and bake for 30 mins at 375°. You may have to cover if begins to brown to quickly. Take potatoes out of the oven and spread with just enough sour cream to cover top. Sprinkle with bacon bits. Bake for another 10 minutes. Allow to cool at least 5 minutes before serving.
I don't remember where I got my Candied Sweet Potato recipe, but they always cook up perfectly.
Candied Sweet Potatoes
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
dash salt
3-4 medium sweet potatoes
2 Tbls butter
1/8 tsp vanilla (optional)
Mix sugar, water and salt. Stir until sugar is almost dissolved. Place on top of stove on high heat. Peel potatoes, slice in half then slice in 3 or 4 pieces. Put potatoes in sugar mixture. Cook on high heat 10 mins and then on med-high for 20 mins or until tender. Cook uncovered and juice will thicken. Add butter when syrup has cooked down about half. Add vanilla when just about done. I eat them at this point, but you can put them in a casserole and sprinkle with 2-3 tsps more sugar and broil for about 5 mins or until browned.
So I have very sad news....I did NOT win the pocking contest!!! Shocking I know. Randy was the champion again. He is just lucky!!!
I thought I had a perfect strategy, but he wouldn't fall for it. I had the perfect egg that was a sure winner.
Somehow he just didn't think it was fair for me to pock with a marble egg :-)
I'm still admiring my tie dyed eggs. I wonder how long I can keep them around without them stinking??
So what's the big surprise????? I won something! And I won something good. I mean REALLY good. Sara of Sara's Kitchen had a give away this week. All I had to do was comment about my favorite vacation. I said it was the vacation I spent in Spain when I was a teenager. I've had other great vacations, including the one I took with Randy and my family a couple of years ago to Disney World but that Spain trip was unforgettable. Anyways, for doing nothing more than leaving my comment I was chosen randomly as the winner of a $25 See's Candies gift certificate!!!! How cool is that?? I have been perusing the website (Click here) dreaming of the chocolates I will choose. They even have the option of putting together a custom box. Now that's an idea I love. Thank you to both Sara (who by the way has an awesome blog) and the nice people at See's! I'll share what I get when I do! I have my eye on this little gem. It has my name written all over it.
In case your wondering its called Almond Truffle Dark chocolate buttercream with ground almonds ...ohhhhh mmmm doesn't that sound yum?????
So here's another little surprise. Here's my little mophead last night. He had no clue what today held for him. He looks so relaxed and unaware...maybe even a little clueless!
And today a new dog! Isn't he cute in his little kercheif? He is pooped tonight. He is used to lounging around all day and I'm sure he wasn't able to do that at the puppy salon. The beauty regimen can be exhausting! Not to mention all of those other dogs around that he has to keep an eye on.
We've been so rainy here this week it's been hard to enjoy the spring flowers. This coming week it's suppose to be much better though so I hope to get out and about a little more. I did snap a few shots today though.
I was excited about my first camella bloom. Really my first. I haven't had any bloom before this year. They remind me of home :-)
English Wallflower
And a couple of tulips

the new xeon mp 7000 series will bring four cores to each processor, adding both the widely acclaimed performance strength and power efficiency of intel's newest microarchitecture. hosted by intel's new caneland platform, tigerton will ship with a multi-interconnect chipset armed with four buses, one dedicated to each processor. intel believes the new strategy will alleviate any bandwidth limitations it may face from a 16-core system, and should compete strong with hypertransport-based platforms.
with intel core microarchitecture components gaining in performance and power leadership in desktop, mobile, and volume workstation and server markets, intel may be poised to strike back in the high-end x86 server sector. but don't expect amd to sit still …

|r u sure its quad independent bus (3:20pm est mon oct 23 2006)
because some sites are saying its csi. i agree with u but i would like some kind of confirmation. – by shawmanus
|does this mean that one has to buy (3:57pm est mon oct 23 2006)
4x the memory than a single chip/bus? – by rossigno
|shawmanus (5:29pm est mon oct 23 2006)
it is not quad independent bus. this is the same as having 4 separate single-core chips. they all share the same bus, and they all must maintain cache coherency between cores on that bus.
it is likely to be slightly faster than the isolated 4 single-core processor model, but not much.
– by rickgeek
|hold up (7:13pm est mon oct 23 2006)
intel said that it's quad busses.
and, intel showed the buss utilization for the clovertown/kentsfield cpus and they didn't use close to the 1066 mhz offered to them. and it's probably going to have a large l3 cache like tulsa so bottlenecks won't be that big of a probmem. – by duke3d87
|test (6:56am est tue oct 24 2006)

|duke3d87 (8:34am est tue oct 24 2006)
according to the article:
"the 'caneland' platform will replace today's quad-socket, dual-bus arrangement with a four-socket layout that has point-to-point connections to each of the four sockets."
that is socket to socket, not core to core. the quad cores within each processor here are still limited by a shared bus. but i do see what you're saying and they are increasing the bus for future high-end server platforms.
if memory serves, amd's design does what you are suggesting by allowing every core to have a direct ht "tunnel" to every other core (up to 16-way) allowing glueless multi-processor and multi-core scaling.
– by rickgeek
|rickgeek (8:01pm est tue oct 24 2006)
i guess intel calls it the qib just like blackford is called dib. since tigerton is not releasing until q3 2007 (unless they pull it forward so that it releases at the same time or before barcelona) its irrelevant.
only question is whether tigerton is 65nm or 45nm as intel is supposed to be ready with 45nm by mid 2007. also 45nm would enable single die quad core which means faster speeds and lower tdp. – by shawmanus
|tigerton (8:28pm est tue oct 24 2006)
tigerton is 65 nm by this link:http://www

Done for you, enterprise grade reseller local SEO packages. Need help fulfilling local SEO?
Do you have too many leads and looking to offload some of the work? Our Local SEO service is
exactly what you and your marketing agency needs.
You + PlacementSEO engagement is
Which Local SEO Reseller Package Should I Choose?
There are too many considerations to make when choosing the most appropriate local seo reseller package for a particular website. You need to consider the localized market size, how many competitors your client currently has in their area, and also the level of previous SEO applied to their website. Feel free to request a call from one of our experts and we will happily work with you towards a solid decision.
How Long Does it Take to Complete a Campaign?
PlacementSEO strives to complete all white label work by the 28th day of ordering. Example: if you purchase a SEO reseller package on January 1st, you will receive completed work by the 28th.
All SEO Packages Come With Real Time Campaign
PlacementSEO provides you with a included SEO dashboard that allows you to track every aspect of your marketing campaign. Awesome, right!? You will be setup with your own login and password, and your client will have their own, too! Not only that, if you order more than one SEO package with PlacementSEO, you will be able to access all of your campaigns from the same dashboard, easily transitioning between all of your own clients.
How Long Does it Take to See Results?
Everyone want's instant results, but what makes PlacementSEO different than other options is that we provide LASTING results. 90% of our reseller partners start seeing traceable results within the first three months.
Can I Review Sites I Get Backlinks From?
Unfortunately, no. It's because we already target very real and relevant sites for link building and work with web masters who are already concerned enough to link to relevant material. Rest assured, you'll love your link placements.
Does This Service Require A Contract?
Absolutely not! We're a month by month SEO agency because we believe hard work retains our partners. Love us or hate us, you can leave anytime you wish.
More About Our SEO Reporting Dashboard
You will be created an account on realtimecampaign.com, our white label reporting dashboard. Through this dashboard
you will have immediate access to every Local SEO campaign you have purchased through PlacementSEO. If you purchase
more than one campaign, you will be able to navigate each campaign from one dashboard. You can give your client a username
and password too, and they will only be able to access their own campaign.
Google Analytics that Makes Sense
Integrate your clients Google analytics data right into our dashboard. Your client can login and view their analytics at anytime, all within a sensible format.
Clients can also compare previous months to the current month, just like you can within the official Google Analytics dashboard.
Clients can also see where their traffic is being generated. Social media, organic, other paid ads, or direct visits, our dashboard reveals it all.
Accurate Google Rank Tracker
Most white label local SEO providers charge extra for ranking. Not us! Our dashboard updates client ranking movements once per day and also tracks local maps.
We're going to help you identify keywords that drive volume to your clients website and we're going to track them in the search engines. You can also add your own too upon request.
Integrated Website Auditor
Our dashboard audits each of your clients websites, ensuring you are always in the know of issues, errors, warnings, and notices that may be holding your overall SEO performance back.
Don't be alarmed! When your audit runs for its first time you may find a large handful of errors. Rest assured, our team is here to get those errors fixed up for you quickly.
Dig deeper with insights, know exactly which pages are hosting errors on your websites and instructions on how to fix them quickly.
Google My Business Insights Integration
Our dashboard helps you make sense of your Google My Business insights that can easily be translated to your local SEO customers.
Do you have clients that have more than one location? No problem, our dashboard supports an unlimited number of GMB integrations which allows you to see each location insight from one single location. Awesome, right?
To integrate your clients GMB insights into our SEO reporting dashboard you will need to add firstname.lastname@example.com as a manager to your clients GMB profile.

Here's a joke (unknown author) I've just received. I edited the name of the country (a muslim country) originally written by the author and replaced it with "Mid-easterner".
A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York .
Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog.
He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life.
A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: "You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: "Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl".
The man says: "But I am not a New Yorker!"
Oh then it will say in newspapers in the morning:
"Brave American saves life of little girl" the policeman answers.
"But I am not an American!" - says the man. Oh, what are you then?"
The man says: "I am a Mid-Easterneri!"
The next day the newspapers say: "A Terrorist kills innocent American dog".
Below is the original posting.
I remember receiving an email long time ago which I tried to dig out from my email vault, but I could not find it. It was written something like this:-
- A muslim girl with a headscarf is a religious extremist whereas a christian girl with a head scarf is a nun.
- The suicide bomber was Ali, an Islamic terrorist, whereas, the building was bombed by a terrorist named John..
Nevertheless, the following was received recently:-
Killers - The way they reported it (if it was Muslim)
Muslim killed daughter for the "dishonour" of having boyfriend
Devote Muslim father kills daughter
Killers - The way they reported it (if it was non-Muslim)
Fathers who kill their children
Incest Crime (if it was Muslim)
Incest Crime (if it was non-Muslim)
John Earnest Deaves and his daughter, Jennifer Anne Deaves
A south Australian woman who has an infant daughter
Now let us look at terrorists (if it was Muslim)
And the terrorists (if it was non-Muslim)
US university shooting kills 33
The Muslim suicide bombers
Suicide bomber (if it was non-Muslim)
Let us look at some statistics of Suicide Terrorism in Lebanon
and Religious Suicide Attackers versus Secular Suicide Attackers (between what was "known" and what was "estimated")
And who are the "Terrorists" again ?
(credits to the unknown/untraced photographers)
(credits to the unknown/untraced photographers)
And a bit more statistics....
And lastly, closer to home reporting....
They have to resort to these very biased, dirty tactics when describing Muslim or Islam? What does it take to continuously smear Muslim / Islam names in the eyes of the world?
What can you tell then about the "inner strength or faith" of a muslim when they have to resort to such seemingly desperate smearing tactics?

Anatomy of an ad: word count
In the Anatomy of an Ad series, I look at the art and a science of creating a commercial or campaign. In this post, I look at word count.
Listen, my friend. Stop cramming as much as you can into your audio commercial: information, products, deals, lists, contact details, and, for the purposes of this post, words.
Let me explain. One of my main gripes – along with most writers, producers and voiceover artists I know - is over-worded scripts.
In my experience, here's how it usually goes down:
Let me explain. You've met someone who talks fast, right? And the faster they talk, the harder it is to understand them. You strain to listen and process what they're saying, ask them to repeat themselves, and maybe even give up. Don't let your commercial be that person.
The bottom line is that an audio spot can comfortably fit about three words per second. That's an average script with an average read style, with average pacing and inflection. So, the 'three words per second' rule is great – if you want an average commercial.
But remember, if you want the voiceover artist to talk loudly or emotively, they'll need more time. A deeper voice also needs more time.
But here's the thing, the real power of an audio spot lies in the "theatre of the mind".
The greatest thing you have working for you is the imagination of the consumer… And if you can get into that space, your ad can run all day.
- Don Draper (the writers of Mad Men knew what they were on about).
Theatre of the mind is using your audio to trigger people's imagination and emotions. Surprise them! Entertain them! That's when they'll want to engage with your ad.
Some ways you can use theatre of the mind are:
Here's an example. A couple of years ago, I wrote a branding commercial for a women's clothing store. The script could have gone like this:
Clothing Store has all the latest fashions at great prices, like Brand Name 1, Brand Name 2, and Brand Name 3. Tops, pants, dresses, coats, evening gowns, starting from X pounds. All the latest styles from Paris, Milan, London, etc, etc, etc… Clothing Store, at Street Name, Town. Tagline.
Instead, I exercised brevity, concision and logic (logic being, don't waste time telling people what they know or will assume). This cut the word count way back, which gave us time to really use the voice and production. The result was a commercial that captures and holds attention; that people want to listen to.
In a nutshell, give the producer time to work with sound effects and the music's rhythm.
Give the voiceover artist space for inflection and expression.
Give the writer an opportunity to let your message shine.
Simply stated, less is more - give your ad a chance to work.

Annie Richards knows there are a million things to look out for—bicycle accidents, food poisoning, chicken pox, smallpox, typhoid fever, runaway zoo animals, and poison oak. That's why being careful is so important, even if it does mean giving up some of her favorite things, like bike races with her best friend, Rebecca, and hot dogs on the Fourth of July. Everyone keeps telling Annie not to worry so much, that she's just fine. But they thought her brother, Jared,… (more)

As you know we recently advertised a position for a Kaiāwhina based in the Hokitika Office. We had a number of high caliber applicants and it was a difficult decision.
However I would like to inform you that the panel selected Heather Morris. Heather and India (her seventeen year old daughter) have recently moved back to Aotearoa from Australia and bought a house in Awatuna.
Heather has an impressive resume and a wide spectrum of work experience. She has extensive experience in administering and managing office functions and held positions of responsibility in a number of organisations.
Amongst other things she has a Degree in Fine Arts, a Certificate in Business Administration and a Certificate in Urban Horticulture. Heather has owned and run her own business, been involved in design prototypes and managed a variety of overseas relationships.
Heather is a valuable addition to the team and although working with Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio will be slightly different we will ensure she feels comfortable as she settles into her new role.

The Chamber of Antiquities was a series of rooms and vaults deep below the main building of the Great Jedi Library on Ossus. It was here that Jedi Master Odan-Urr studied ancient artifacts under his care.
Part of the sublevels of the Great Library complex on Ossus, the Chamber of Antiquities referred to the labyrinth of vaults and rooms that made up the second sublevel. Accessed by two lifts from the first sublevel, the level was offlimits to most visitors, as it contained the most dangerous items within the collection. Overseen by the Keeper of Antiquities, this being alone could grant a curious Jedi access to the collection. Among the treasures held within the vaults were dark side lore, including Sith holocron, the earliest known documents relating to the Jedi Order, and other sacred tomes. Several heritage tapestries detailing a pictorial history of the First and Second Great Schisms were kept on the walls, along with hard copies of ancient star-charts. During the Massacre at Ossus, Dark Lord of the Sith Exar Kun violated the Chamber of Antiquities and assaulted and murdered Odan-Urr before stealing the Dark Holocron from him and leaving his corpse to rot. When the Cron Supernova rendered Ossus inhospitable soon after, the Chamber and the rest of the Great Library's sublevels became tomblike, preserving the ancient tomes for millennia. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, Odan-Urr's skeleton still remained sprawled at the feet of his great chair in his office, while two stone guardians stood as silent sentinels to protect the chamber from intruders.[1]
The Chamber of the Antiquities was a sprawling level of the Great Library, with a main corridor winding its way from the dedicate turbolift at one end of the level to the other. Off of this tall, wide corridor were several collection rooms, analysis chambers, alcoves, and offices. Near the main entrance to the level was the working office of the Keeper of Antiquities. A circular chamber with a domed roof, the center of the room was filled by a giant stone chair; the back of which reached the ceiling like a pillar. On either side of the room were two stone guardians, droids disguised as statues, standing ready to defend the room should it fall under attack. Midway through the main corridor was a guarded entrance in the form of a rotunda that apparently had no way forward. Hanging on the walls were four tapestries depicting four of the traditional five precepts of the Jedi Code. To find the door, one would have to rearrange the tapestries in the correct order of the traditional mantra. Following the correct order, one would need to recognize that the tapestry depicting a group of children listening to a lecture, the tapestry of the second precept: There is no ignorance, there is knowledge, conceals a clue as to its importance. Following the line of sight from the children in the tapestry, one could find the brick in the wall which concealed the access to the rest of the corridor. Farther down into the most secure portion of the Chamber of Antiquities were two vaults. The first was known as the Vault of Justice, which contained an ancient artifact known as Neer's Gauntlet; the second vault held the Greelwood Saber, a lightsaber crafted by Master Oorrl Morm.[1]

The ability to convey refined info is commonly misplaced when banking on-line and it is usually troublesome to know if the individual on the different finish grasps what you are trying to say.
Oh, and the meals…so while I'm buying on-line, I eat an apple and a few cheese and crackers, costs me a few greenback, whereas in the mall I would be spending ten dollars for a sandwich, drink, and dessert. There's a delay before receiving your package: The main drawback of on-line buying is that there isn't a instant gratification. Online purchasing web sites are additionally a favourite of many on the subject of shop furnishings at cheaper charges.
EBay shopping contains some firm offered safeguards, so be certain to join these where indicated.

What are Wall Street analysts saying about Chevron stock? Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Chevron stock: 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Chevron's Q1 earnings were ahead of analysts' expectations, while upstream production exceeded 3 million barrels per day for the second successive quarter. Chevron's existing oil and gas development project pipeline is among the best in the industry, targeting volume growth of around 4-7% in 2019 thanks to planned expansion in the Permian Basin. The company's recently announced $50 billion Anadarko acquisition also looks compelling. However, there are worries over continued drop in its downstream earnings that once again cut into overall gains from rising production. The massive capex might also play a spoilsport. Hence, investors are advised to wait for a better entry point before buying shares in Chevron." (5/7/2019) 2. Barclays PLC analysts commented, "We reiterate our OW rating and raise our PT to $150."

Three Cases Listed in The Recorder's Top Settlements of 2015
In a record-breaking year, three of Partner Matthew McNicholas' cases were selected for inclusion on the 2015 list of "California's Million Dollar Verdicts" including a premise liability settlement for $10 million and two employment settlements for $1.1 and $1.5 million. All three settlements all made The Recorder's list of the highest settlements in California in their respective categories.
The $10-million-verdict lead poisoning case (Nolan v. State of California, Department of Transportation) is The Recorder's fourth highest premise liability award. The case involved a young child with lead poisoning from old paint in a home rented from Caltrans, which ultimately caused permanent brain damage and rendered him unable to form words.
Shoemaker v. City of Los Angeles was named the second highest employment award at $1.5 million. After severely injuring his left knee at work, the Los Angeles Police Department failed to properly determine and accommodate Jeffrey Shoemaker's work restrictions. The nine-year veteran was assigned to the training division as a firearms instructor and his injuries were exacerbated. When Shoemaker expressed his opposition to the department's practices, he was harassed and retaliated against.
Podesta v. City of Los Angeles' $1.1 million settlement was named the third highest employment award. Podesta, a 20-year LAPD veteran, was retaliated against after complaining that a new captain actively sought to promote racial minorities and moved him out because he was white. The retaliation and negative employment actions caused damage to Podesta's professional reputation and prevented him from being selected for other units.

Italian food is no stranger to our dinner table. We could contently eat Italian every day for a week and sometimes we do! I grew up on this lasagna recipe, and I use this sauce in multiple dishes! 😛 Lasagna roll-ups are already portioned, easy to serve and deliciously fun to eat.
The first step is to brown your ground beef and drain it. Then combine the ground beef, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and spices in a large skillet. (I recommend using a skillet because you want the sauce to heat through evenly.) On low heat, simmer sauce for 45 minutes to an hour.After about 30 minutes, cook your lasagna noodles according to package instructions and drain. While the noodles are cooking, whisk together the ricotta cheese and eggs, set aside. Set up a mini-assembly line for preparing your roll-ups. Lay the noodles out, spread a thin layer of the ricotta mixture on all of them and then spread a layer of sauce. Loosely roll each noodle away from you and place in dish (I put them in foil pans for freezer meals).
Top the roll-ups with more sauce and finally, cheese!
Bake for 1 hour and serve with homemade garlic toast. This is an excellent dish to freeze for a busy night, or freeze and deliver to someone with a new baby or recovering from surgery. I hope you enjoy every bite as much as I do!

It's awards season – the perfect time to take a look at our top Miniclip games of 2013. It's been an awesome year, with some games pushing the boundaries of browser-based gaming, plenty of gameplay innovations, and above all tons of fun!
Free Running 2
Let's begin with one of our biggest hits of the year, Free Running 2. Released in July, this sequel thrilled with its gravity-defying stunts, leaps, and jumps – all taking place high above the city streets below. Millions of you played Free Running 2 this year, making it one of our most popular titles of 2013. Get ready for a snowy Christmas update too, coming soon!
Robot Rage
Robot Rage launched on Miniclip this year with the sound of metal on metal in its explosive PvP action. Upgrade your robot with new weapons and powers, and send them into battle in one of our deadly arenas. Fights go on until one bot has been reduced to scrap!
Motocross Nitro
Motocross Nitro is our number 1 racer of 2013, with its combination of high speeds, dangerous stunts and occasional wipeouts adding tons of replayability. It's also one of the best-looking titles on Miniclip, with a huge range of tracks. Our personal favourite is the Arena on freestyle mode: tailor-made for some big air. Look out for some awesome new features coming to Motocross this Christmas: new tracks, leaderboards, and awards are on the way.
Bow Master Japan
Now here's a game that really hits the spot: grab your arrows and get ready to aim and fire in Bow Master Japan. Moving targets, stunning environments, quick reflexes and replayability are the secrets behind this game's huge popularity: it's been one of our most-played games ever since its release.
Commando Rush
Commando Rush features more action than a Hollywood blockbuster, and enough explosions to leave Michael Bay gibbering with excitement. It's got a selection of mini missions from the Commando universe, awesome unlockable weapons, tons of awards and some great environments. Time to start the battle!
On The Run: The Getaway
The latest and greatest in the On The Run series, The Getaway has you making your escape from an evil corporation intent on smashing your car into pieces. With explosive power-ups, spectacular crashes, and even a surprise helicopter attack, The Getaway is a high-speed thrill ride.
Slime Lab 2
The sequel to the enormously-popular Slime Lab was one of our favourite games of the year. A physics platform-puzzler with a suitably squishy character, guiding Slime through the various dangers and obstacles of the Lab was a huge hit. Slime Lab 2 is packed with secret paths, tricky puzzles, and, of course, a big blob of goo.
Rail Rush
Rail Rush is an exhilarating adrenaline-fuelled adventure, and has been a big favourite all year round on Miniclip as well as on iPhone, Android and Windows Phones. With tons of characters, four worlds to explore – including the new Horror Land – it's all about collecting gold nuggets and dodging obstacles in a bid to get just that little bit further than last time.
8 Ball Multiplayer Pool
Of course, no list of our top 10 games would be complete without 8 Ball Pool, a game that has grown at incredible speed this year. Available on mobile as well as Miniclip and Facebook, we recently went past the amazing landmark of 10 billion gameplays. Customise your table, play with your nation's cue, and win tournaments on your way to becoming the ultimate 8 Ball legend.
Fireboy & Watergirl: Crystal Temple
The latest installment in the super-popular Fireboy and Watergirl series, Crystal Temple launched in October. It's a puzzle game that will leave your brain and fingers in a twist, as you control Fireboy with one hand and Watergirl with the other, and guide them through increasingly tricky levels.

It was a warm sunny day in August, and as I woke up, and lay there picking my nose, I had the urge to get out and get some exercise! (I'd had a similar thought twelve years earlier, but managed to resist that one)
I pondered on where to go and what to do, and the idea of going to Matlock, and climbing the gravel hill up to the top of High Tor came to me. (I've regretted this ever since)
I drove out to Matlock, and parked it in the council car park, walked the few hundred yards along the Derwent River bank to the base of the gravel hill. I looked up at the challenge that faced me, and undeterred I set off climbing up the hill.
It was as expected, a case of two steps up, and one slide down, as I fought to find some branch growth or rock to grab onto to prevent my descending any further.
After about an hour, I was around half way up, and on realising this as I stopped to looked up, I felt invigorated, and well pleased at my progress.
I was cleverly climbing up at the extreme left of the gravel, to enable myself to cling on to and use the foliage growth as a climbing aid, good idea I though at first - then as I was full of self gratification at my progress, an animal (possibly a Common Lizard, it happened so fast), shot out of the undergrowth right up to face, and shot out its tongue.
As I regained conciousness, I realised I had been pulled out of the River Derwent by some amused hikers who had seen my tumble down the gravel and bouncing into the water.
On the way to the hospital the ambulance-man related many tales of his tending to gravel-climbers over the years. apparently I was the first one he's had who'd bounced off the path into the river.
The next morning, when I was released from the hospital, amazingly with just a headache, a black eye, a limp, and a few bruises and stitches, I caught the bus back to Matlock to pick up the car... and the £60 fixed penalty notice for overstaying!
As usual, the fire was set on Derwent Street in the middle of the road outside 'The Davenport Arms public House. This was the custom in those days in the built-up area I was dragged up in, the Meadows, Nottingham.
As the night drew in, and the fire was lit, and we all awaited the flames arising, one of my mates Lol. came on the scene, with 3d (1¼p) to spend on fireworks. That sort of money would get us many bangers, catherine wheels, and rockets!
So we both ran around the corner to the late opening for bonfire night newsagents to get some more bangers etc.
Surprisingly the Standard Vanguard car hit only me as we both ran across the road, leaving Lol to inform my Dad about my being taken by ambulance to children's hospital.
He collected me later, after the doctors had stitched together the hole in me head. The scar still remains on view today, due to my being as bald as a badger!
Everyone seemed to enjoy the fire that night, and late on as folk drifted away, I espied something glittering in amongst the remaining the embers on the cobbled street.
I got a stick and pulled it out, to see it was a burnt wallet with a silver emblem on it! As I held it in gloved hands waiting for it to cool down to see who's it was, amazed that it had not been completely destroyed - I received a belt around the back of my head from a chap who accused me of nicking it! The local bobby got involved, and I was taken to the police station! Yea, really!
Someone let Dad know, and he had to collect me again, after I managed to convince them of my innocence!
This year, the bonfire was very much larger than usual, and before it was lit, the local booby told us to move it to the side of road near the pubs gates, to allow emergency vehicles to pass if needed.
Within minutes of the bonfire's flames taking hold, the pub gates were on fire!
This year, we were barred from having the bonfire on the road, and had to move it half a mile away, where they let us use a nursery school playground.
During the night, I spotted some of the new plastic liquid containers dumped near the bins at the other end of the playground. Thinking, well plastic will burn, we collected the five containers and threw them on the bonfire.
None of us knew what was in the containers originally, but a mass of blue flames shot up from the bonfire, cracking every one of the schools windows near it!
Some of the windows shattered but only one person was injured, a deep cut on his right arm.
I still have that scar as well!
