Late last night, Brewers set-up man Francisco Rodriguez accepted the Brewers' offer of salary arbitration. He is projected to earn somewhere between $11-13MM this year, putting the Brewers in a significant financial bind. Doug Melvin was a little fuzzy on the math when discussing the impact on team payroll, but later stated that he talked to owner Mark Attanasio and that the team is still in the hunt for free agents. It is not yet clear whether that includes 3B Aramis Ramirez, in whom the Brewers showed heavy interest before learning of K-Rod's decision.
One glaring hole in the Brewers infield has been filled, though. The Brewers have apparently agreed to a one-year contract with former Braves shortstop Alex Gonzalez. A career .247 hitter, Gonzalez has the same low-impact bat as the much-maligned Yuniesky Betancourt, but his fielding is significantly better. While Fangraphs indicates that Gonzalez's defense slipped a bit last year, his history suggests he is a solid fielder who makes few errors.

Philadelphia has historically been a progressive LGBT city and continues to pave the way for equality for all. Freedom and the pursuit of happiness are the principles our city was founded on, so it's no surprise that in 2007 the city of Philadelphia officially recognized an area as "The Gayborhood" spanning from Chestnut to Pine Streets between 11th and Broad. The streets are lined with shops and restaurants that are LGBT friendly or LGBT owned.
Since The Independent Hotel is located right in the heart of the Gayborhood, we have explored the rainbow streets plenty of times. We decided to put together a Guide to Philadelphia's Gayborhood for you so you don't miss all the fun and flavor the streets have to offer.
First, we have to mention Open House Boutique-107 S 13th Street. Partners Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran own this eclectic furniture/home store. This spot is also a great place to buy gifts for anyone on your list and it carries a lot of Philadelphia specific merchandise that you can't find anywhere else in the city. Turney and Safran also own seven other great spots in the Gayborhood: Grocery, a market and catering company, Jamonera, a Spanish wine bar, Lolita, a Modern Mexican restaurant, Verde a jewelry and gift boutique, Marcie Blaine, a chocolate confectionery, Barbuzzo, a Mediterranean bar, and Little Nonna's, an Italian American restaurant(located just downstairs!)
Next, on our Guide to Philadelphia's Gayborhood, is a neighborhood landmark- Woody's- 202 S 13th Street. You can't miss it with its red door and large rainbow flags flying proud. The crowd inside is always ready to have a lively, fun time. In the evening, there is great music and a packed dance floor.
Philadelphia's Gayborhood is also the location for Philadelphia's annual Outfest: National Coming Out Day Celebration. This year, the celebration takes place on Sunday October, 11. It's a block party of epic pride proportions. Thousands of people take to the streets to celebrate the LGBT lifestyle. Philadelphia continues to stand proud and we are excited to celebrate this October 11.
Save up to 30% off your stay at The Independent through March 12, 2019.
Let us help you "treat yo self" with late checkout.

Q:) Take us through the first pick. Why DE DeForest Buckner?
Baalke: "Why not? You know. I mean, what's there not to like? An awfully good football player, excellent fit, high-character guy. Great working knowledge of him, simply our current coaches recruited him, know him well and know his family well. A guy that plays a high percentage of downs at the collegiate level. You look at most of these guys coming out, D-Linemen, they play fifty, sixty percent of the snaps. DeForest the last two years has played plus-eighty. And production, a lot of production, 81 tackles, 36 unassisted, nine sacks. There's a lot to like."
Q:) Is he a guy you see playing in the base defense as a rookie or just sub-packages only, like DE Arik Armstead last year?
Baalke: "Well [Santa Rosa Press Democrat columnist] Grant [Cohn], I've always said this, that's for the coaches to decide. We had great value on him, felt that he was a strong fit for what we want to do. And at that point in the draft with what was on the board, that was the highest valued player and we'll let the coaches go to work with him. He's got to come in and earn it, we've always said that. There's no free tickets. These guys, just because they're picked high in any round, that doesn't give them a free pass. The guys in that locker room got jobs that they want as well. So, he'll come in. We're confident in his abilities. We're confident in his character. We're confident in his work ethic and all that he brings. So, now he's got to go do it between the lines."
Q:) There are people who will compare him to Arik Armstead for the size similarities. Is their game the same or do they complement one another?
Baalke: "You know, they're a little different, but I think they do complement each other very well. But, they're different types, a little different type of athletes. Obviously, both similar size. When you look at DeForest though, that's a big man. He was 291 pounds at the Combine. He's probably going to be in that 305 to 310 range when it's all said and done."
Q:) There was a video that surfaced earlier of Miami Dolphins T Laremy Tunsil allegedly smoking marijuana. He was available at seven. Obviously he fell a little bit. Were you guys aware of that video and did that impact your decision with that pick?
Baalke: "Well, I think every team is aware of the video. We factor in everything. So, whether you get that information late in the process or you get it early in the process, it's all factored in."
Q:) Did you go into this pretty much knowing you were going to get back in later in the first round? How important was that to get the two picks in the first round?
Baalke: "Well, you go into it with a plan. You know the players that you want and you kind of follow the board. And where we had [G] Josh [Garnett] valued and what had come off the board and where we were at and what we need, it was a player that we had a lot of value in. We worked hard on him. One thing that really impressed us about him is coming to the Pro Day. He'd already done his Pro Day. He'd already done his work at the Combine and he comes here on a local Pro Day and he works again. That just told us a little bit more about the young man. So, he too, very talented. You watch, another high character guy, another senior, guy that went through the whole process. So, there's just a lot of things to like and a great fit. We've said all along, we want to run the football and he's, in our mind, was the best run blocking offensive linemen, interior guy in the entire draft."
Q:) Where you jumped up to get him, were you fearful that you'd be facing him twice a year?
Baalke: "Well, I don't know fearful for facing him twice a year. We looked at the next seven, eight picks and who was sitting there and their needs and for us, it just, you know, why not? We like the guy, we like him a lot. We have that kind of value placed on him. Let's go get him and let's not sweat it out over the next seven picks."
Q:) Was going back in for a quarterback thought about at all or under consideration?
Baalke: "It was talked about, absolutely. It was talked about."
Q:) At a specific place or did you have Garnett rated above all those guys maybe?
Baalke: "Well, you know, I'm not going to lead into where we had guys placed on the board. That never is a positive, even a year after the draft. Let people wonder where we've got guys on the board. But, you know, safe to say that Josh was very highly rated on our board and someone that we felt could come in here and compete early on."
Q:) The way the quarterback situation is now is the same way it's been for months now with QB Colin Kaepernick and QB Blaine Gabbert. Is that the competition you see going forward?
Baalke: "You know, we've said that all along. The media's made a lot of speculations and things, but we've, I think from the combine on we've stated the same thing. Coaching staff's excited and we're excited. We've got two guys that we feel, we've got four quarterbacks on this roster. They're all going to get a chance to compete. That's a question to really address with the coaches on how that thing, but I know this, they're excited to have all of them."
Q:) Just to be clear, when you said you talked about a quarterback, you talked about trading back into the first round to get a quarterback?
Baalke: "No. Through the process of putting the board together, you're looking at all of the different scenarios. What could be? What ifs? You can't possibly touch them all because you really don't know how the board is going to fall off. The board held up well. The board fell, there were a couple of surprises for us, but the board for the most part held up pretty well. And when we got into the early twenties, we had already made a decision or talked it through last week that here are the scenarios, here are the guys that we would be willing to trade back in for and Josh was one of those players."
Q:) Did you get close to trading out of the seven spot? Did you get some offers?
Baalke: "We talked about it. You know, we talked about moving up as well. So, we researched both. This year, for whatever reason, there was a lot more movement early on than normal, especially when you consider the first two picks, those trades happening so early in the process. So, the phone was pretty active, pretty active throughout the day and certainly pretty active later on because there were teams that were looking to get out of there, those 25, 26, the later first round picks."

For a debut only a few days after Valentine's Day, Mark "Stew" Stewart and Heidi Rodewald, members of the band Negro Problem and the creators of the Obie- and Tony-winning musical Passing Strange, have crafted a song cycle sweeter, tarter, and more eloquent than any box of conversation hearts. In 2006, the two ended their long romance in a green room at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, during rehearsals for Passing Strange. Their new show, Making It, which opens at St. Ann's Warehouse on February 17, explores the conclusion of that love affair and the sudden commencement of a new one: between music and theater. "We experienced this whole traumatic, weird breakup while this theater thing was going on," says Stew, "so it's about both things: us splitting and us getting into a relationship with the theater."
As their continued collaboration suggests, Stew and Rodewald's breakup must not have been too traumatic. Last week found them lounging in Rodewald's Park Slope apartment, trading good-natured jibes and editing songs. Then they stopped in at a nearby bar to share an order of French fries. This would not seem so exceptional except that somewhere in a midtown hospital on that same evening, Stew's new girlfriend, a woman he admiringly describes as a hard-headed Jewish–Puerto Rican doctor, was about to give birth to his son. After labor had been induced, she'd sent him back to Brooklyn to work with his ex on the new show.
Physically and temperamentally, Stew and Rodewald are an odd couple: She's thin and pale, authoritative on stage, reticent in person; Stew is larger, darker, and infinitely more voluble, emphasizing his words with unreserved gestures. He speaks at length, while Rodewald offers only occasional comments. "Stew is so articulate and so entertaining," she says. "I'm just trying to get a word in." It's no surprise, then, that Making It was Stew's idea, to which Rodewald eventually acceded. "It's a conversation that she and I needed to have," says Stew, "that is more fun to have through a piece of work." He tells Rodewald, "This shit was way too much to deal with to not make a show about what happened. I don't think I could have worked with you again without having done this show, with or without you—preferably with."
Revealing their relationship onstage would not have been Rodewald's choice, and not necessarily her idea of "fun," but she appears to enjoy the process of sorting out conflicted emotions in song. "What it all comes down to is Stew and I making this music together," she says. "It's all we've ever done. Making this stuff is making sense to me, to us. We're creating something." Typically, Stew supplies the lyrics, and they write the music together. Both sing, often the same words. Some seem to refer directly to their breakup, as when first Stew and then Rodewald sings, "It's a love-and-pain thing/A no-one-can-explain thing/She left you when you needed her most." At other times, personal content takes cover behind a host of metaphors: "Trapped in a homegrown masquerade/The costume's wrong, but so well-made." If some lyrics suggest a dissatisfaction with theater, Stew and Rodewald haven't abandoned plays. In addition to Making It, they're at work on a new commission about the interrelation of gospel and rock 'n' roll, as well as scoring a Broadway show.
Making It is a nicely variable title, rich with possible interpretations: making money, making art, making love, making it to the big-time. Perhaps it even refers to making babies, like Stew's son, born a couple of hours after the Voice interview. When he's old enough, who knows what he'll make of the intimate, tender, complicated colloquy, of a "love and pain thing" made into theater.

Added Value & Structural Integrity. Replacing your roof is a beneficial alternative to spending thousands on endless repairs and it will add value to your home.
Replacing your roof is probably one of the biggest investments to consider. An expense this large can become daunting when it comes time to search for the right price and the right contractor. That is why when you choose to work with Allstate Construction Roofing we combine both affordability and quality for every job.
Our honesty and integrity lie within our work, and we truly believe by advising customers to follow through with the proper upkeep of their roof will help them avoid costly repairs and even unnecessary roof replacements. We can accurately determine the strength, stability and overall condition of your roof and be able to advise you on whether or not you need a full replacement.
We specialize in roof replacements all throughout Florida, including Bonita Springs, Miami, Orlando, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, and surrounding areas. Call us today for a free inspection in your area. We look forward to hearing from you!
Headquartered in Valley Forge, PA, CertainTeed is a leading North American manufacturer of building materials and specializes in the production of high quality roofing and other materials including vinyl siding, trim, fence, railing, decking, insulation, gypsum, and ceiling products.
CertainTeed manufactures a variety of high quality, durable asphalt roofing systems. Asphalt roofing shingles are the most commonly used covering on residential properties in the market. Asphalt's primary purpose in roofing shingles is to serve as a waterproofing agent. Asphalt also holds the granules in place and adds to the overall strength of the roofing shingle. The best asphalt will stay flexible and will not dry out or become hard or brittle for the expected life of the roofing shingle.
Strip asphalt roofing shingles are single-layered asphalt roofing shingles typically designed to look like slate. Strip roofing shingles are usually the lightest weight asphalt roofing shingles available in the market. Built on a tough fiberglass base, each shingle provides resistance to blow-off and tearing.
Dimensional asphalt roofing shingles are manufactured as multi-layered products and provide a thicker and richer appearance on the roof (a multi-dimensional look). Dimensional roofing shingles typically are heavier weight than strip roofing shingles and usually have improved warranty protections, which can range from 30-years to Lifetime.
Premium asphalt roofing shingles are usually described as laminated shingles that have a differentiated appearance or functionality from traditional dimensional asphalt roofing shingles. These products may have designs that mimic "old-world" roofing shingles, like natural slate or natural shake roofing shingles. CertainTeed's Grand Manor™, Presidential Shake™ and Centennial Slate™ shingles are prime examples of premium roofing shingles that provide an enhanced aesthetic appeal.
Owens Corning offers a wide variety of shingle options, all of which meet the highest standards of quality, durability, and appearance. The three main categories are architectural, specialty, and traditional shingles. Architectural shingles are available in many lines, including TruDefinition Duration Shingles and Oakridge Shingles. Similarly, specialty shingles include Devonshire Shingles, Berkshire Collection Shingles, Duration Premium Cool Shingles, and TruDefinition Duration Storm Impact Resistant Shingles.
Eagle Roofing Products, a division of Burlingame Industries, is a California-based tile roofing manufacturer with over 25 years of experience. They provide customers with durable, attractive, and environmentally-friendly roofing products.
Tile roofing products by Eagle are an easy way to add timeless beauty to any style of building. These tiles are designed with all kinds of roofs in mind and are available in a wide variety of colors and profiles.
Boral Roofing, a subsidiary of Boral USA, operates 12 clay and concrete tile manufacturing plants throughout North America and is one of the USA's largest tile producers. With over 50 years of experience, they can be trusted for both residential and commercial tile roofing needs.
Boral Tile Roofing from Boral USA is designed to withstand the elements and last the ages, all while dramatically improving the curb appeal of your home. With experienced manufacturing facilities across the nation, you can ensure products made to the industry's highest specifications.
If you have a roof leak, sometimes the damage is severe and become far too expensive to fix. Any damage done to your roof, whether it is from a storm, heavy winds, or just everyday strain, can rack up hefty costs, which is why total replacement is often the best option.
Roof replacement is also more economical than re-roofing because you won't have to risk suffering from the old problems you used to have. By installing brand new materials, you are eliminating problem areas altogether and starting fresh, which means your roof can last throughout the duration of your stay in your home and even increase the value if you decide to sell it.
You don't just want a roofing contractor that has all the right certifications and licensing. While those licenses and certifications are important and crucial to the company's existence in the first place, reliability, credibility and the relationship you build with a company is far more important than anything. Here at Allstate Construction Roofing we pride ourselves on providing unmatched customer service and quality, reliable solutions, and the best value available. We want to work WITH you to achieve the results you want, at a cost you can afford and be satisfied with.
If you live in Bonita Springs, Miami, Orlando, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, or any other area in Florida, call us today to schedule a free on-site inspection.

1. What motivates you most as a blogger? At the risk of this sounding cliche, I really love to write and take pictures. I love to encourage women, especially mothers as we navigate the trenches of motherhood together.
2. How do you get through times of writer's block? I just wait. I don't try to force it. When it comes, it comes and I know that that will be the best stuff I can possibly write.
3. What's your best advice for someone trying to grow up and learn how to adult? You don't need to lose the fun and spontaneity entirely. Just learn responsibility and commitments and learn how they can work together.
4. What have you found to be the hardest part of blogging? It is so much work at the beginning and a TIME COMMITMENT to get your blogs seen.
5. What's your favorite show to binge watch? Oh goodness. The Big Bang Theory because it literally makes me LOL and I can watch it on repeat….speaking of which…I think we are due to start it again…:D
6. Who's your blog's biggest fan? Who supports what you do the most? My husband, mom, mother-in-law and grandmother. Who better than family? <3
7. When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A firefighter or ice skater, naturally.
8. What's your favorite blog post you've written so far? I am so proud of my two part mini series where I interviewed my grandmother on her 62 years of marriage and why it was SO successful. It was a super inspirational post for me and encouraging as I look at my seven years with my husband.
9. Do you collect anything? If so, why did you start collecting it? We used to collect shot glasses from the places we visited. But we kind of stopped…
10. What's your favorite Disney movie? So I am probably the only person who did not grow up on Disney. This being said, my favorites are not most people's. I love: Cinderella, Tangled, and Frozen (I am actually not sick of it).
11. What book has had the biggest impact on you? (OK, obviously the Bible…but we all know that) I am more of a fiction novel reader so when books impact me it is more of just "wow, that was an awesome story" or makes me feel super emotional. So I am going with The Help and The Nightingale.

I am SO glad I tried out for Funny Girl early in the year. It was so fun to be a part of a group other than my co-workers and still end up accomplishing something. It was also incredibly refreshing to have some of the good kind of stress, the kind that leaves you invigorated instead of drained. So I tried out for another show!
From the Cassidy Theatre Website: "In the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt, the beleaguered Turpin
family proves that living and dying in the South are seldom tidy and
always hilarious.
Despite their earnest efforts to pull themselves together for their
father's funeral, the Turpin's other problems keep overshadowing the
solemn occasion."
I will be playing the nearly mute, but very bold, role of Delightful, the youngest Turpin. Come check it out! It's hilarious enough that even our rehearsals are boisterous! And besides, who couldn't love a dysfunctional bunch of hillbillies? I mean, that's why everyone keeps watching Duck Dynasty and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, right?
Fridays and Saturdays at 8 and Sundays at 3, it'll be playing from April 12th through the 28th.
Oh darn. I logged on as Kevin again. How silly of me ;)

The Gold Vein
My parents are married 50 years today. We had the celebration for them this weekend. When I tell people they've made it that long, I somehow always find myself in a situation where I have to explain that my parents actually love each other. I'm not kidding. When I say they've made it 50 years, most people say something like, "Wow! How did they do that without killing each other?" or, "Wow! Are they still happy?" I can't properly describe how this makes me feel inside. 50 years is an accomplishment, I know this, but I also know that my parents truly love each other and to be faced with a world so dark and jaded that people assume that my parents have spent a miserable 50 years together, implying they should've been divorced long ago but they just held to the commitment regardless of the hate between them, it breaks my heart -- not for my parents, but for the world.
I'm a bit dark and jaded myself -- if you've read my blog long enough, you know this about me. But when it comes to love, particularly what I've seen between my parents, well... I guess they're the main reason I still have hope.
In the weeks gone by the love my parents hold for each other has been in the forefront of my mind. I have memories stuck in my head where I came home from school to find my dad scrubbing the front door because my mom was throwing a Christmas party. She had made some random comment about the damn door being dirty and my dad went out on his hands and knees and scrubbed that stupid thing, without her asking him to, simply because he didn't want Mom to feel embarrassed about anything. And I've remembered stories of her taking up fights with people that Dad would've preferred she didn't but she just couldn't help it because those particular people were running Dad through the mud and she wasn't going to stand for it. And god bless her, the fire she can light because of the love for her husband is enough to intimidate anyone into submission. I could go on for pages like this, but the point that sticks in my head is that these two people were a team -- they chose 50 years ago to experience life together, and they never stopped doing it.
I'm not going to pretend for a minute that any of this is a fairy tale or some kind of magical bull shit. I didn't show up in their lives until somewhere around 11 years into their marriage. And I don't know the ins and outs of their relationship, but reading between the lines of certain stories they've told, I do know that they've had their moments and there were times of great struggle and much decision making and work. The point is, they did "the work."
50 years is "The Golden Anniversary." Gold is, and I am no chemist, one of the most non-corrosive elements you can find. It isn't indestructible, but you would seriously have to go out of your way to find the one or two things that can destroy it (kinda like Superman -- you gotta bring the cryptonite before you can truly try to take that guy down and, even then, you will most likely fail). And my parents haven't just put up with each other because they're old school, they truly LOVE each other. Hell... I can go visit them and my dad will still say, even though my mom is 71 and looks nothing like she did at 19 when he met her, "look at your mother... isn't that the most beautiful woman you've ever seen?" At that moment, yes... yes Dad... she is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen... How could she not be? There is most definitely something beautiful about both my mother and my father that allows them to have that moment, 50 years later. Yes, Dad, Mom is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen and, at this point, you're the most beautiful man I've ever seen because I have yet to be loved the way you love my mother.
(And I will say this -- my parents never stopped going on dates and they never stopped having romantic getaways. They did it when we were kids and they do it now. My parents always made it a point to keep the romance alive, and I do think that is where a world of couples fail. Your kids are going to grow up and leave you, your mate will still be there when the kids have gone so...)
In conclusion, my dad stood up and told a brief story about some young man asking him how a couple makes it to 50 years of marriage. My dad's response was something like, "I really don't know except for it's a lot like breathing -- you're not alive unless you do it." I have this terrible feeling that the answer he gave that man went nowhere, but for me that means -- being with your companion, your mate, is more important than anything you could possibly do without that person so... at some point it becomes like breathing because you would die if this person wasn't walking alongside you so... you do what it takes to make sure your friend, your lover, your companion stays with you and sometimes... you just breathe.
Similarly, I had made a comment to my mother about how I will never, at my age now, reach the "50 year" accomplishment. Her response to me was, "Ultimately, it's not about the quantity, it's about the quality." And what that meant to me was... Mom and Dad were GOLDEN the day they met. They were two rocks that had a gold vein running through them. Sure, they lived long enough together to reach the 50 year mark, but for both of them this has been golden from the beginning -- they always had the love that was strong enough to withstand the elements, they just happened to live long enough to put the number behind it.
God bless my parents. I love them. I am very proud to be the daughter of two people that see the quality in the love they have shared. And at the end of the day, they may have been two glorious pieces of white shining quartz, eroded by air and water and fire, but they had this gold vein between them. And while the quartz may have worn away, even in the midst of the fire, the gold vein between them remained strong and malleable, and they were able to adjust and mold and reconvene and keep the love and life between them the way they chose to see fit because, well, that is what it means to LOVE -- trust all things, believe all things, forgive, be kind, and hope... they have not failed... they CHOSE to be In Love. And I love them for doing that.
Happy 50th Anniversary to my parents.

vest / sweater (similar, only $14!) / jeans / tennies / necklace / pearl ring
Since it has been oddly warm here in Wisconsin lately (of course I post this on the day the temperature drops...), I've been happily donning simply an oversized sweater and vest when I'm running errands or grabbing lunch with friends. I'm so jealous of all of you who can get away with this all winter long! My J.Crew Excursion vests never fail to get their wear and this outfit is no exception. On another note, I am obsessed with my new pearl ring from Baublebar. I was hesitant to purchase it because rings can be pretty hit or miss, but I've been pleasantly surprised! Also, you have to check out this awesome nameplate necklace I just received in the mail. I love how it says my Instagram handle (perfect for other bloggers or Youtubers out there) but it would be super cute with your name or monogram too (and for $29, who could say no?).
I hope you are having a great break so far!
Mine has consisted of lots of relaxing and blogging these past few days... just the way I like it!
P.S. Thanks to Fran for letting me steal her pooch for these pictures!

Hello everyone,
I hope that you had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying 2019!
It has been awhile since I have written a blog and have some big things coming up in the following year. For today, I wanted to kick off my blogging year with some information about daily use items (and some food) that may not be vegan.
Sometimes I think the most difficult part of going vegan isn't the food but is switching out all of the items in your home that contain animal products.
Here are just a few of our every day items that may contain animal products:
Razors: most razors have a lubricating strip above the blade that contains lanolin or glycerin (lanolin is a wool byproduct that comes from sheep while glycerin can also be derived from animals. I prefer to use Preserve Razors. They are vegan and are made from recycled yogurt cups.
Lipstick: red lipstick often contains cochineal, which is made from crushed beetles. Tallow, which is made from rendering animal fat, is also found in many cosmetics. The animals used to make tallow come from sources such as labs, slaughterhouses, zoos and even roadkill! I try to find vegan lipsticks from Beauty Counter, Arbonne, or Elf Cosmetics.
White sugar: the refining process for white sugar often comes from bone char, a granular material from animal ashes.
Beer: beer and wine both can contain Isinglass, a chemical found in fish bladders. It is best to buy products that say "vegan" on the label.
Supplements/medication/vitamins: be careful to read the ingredients on these items. They often contain dairy and gelatin.
Nail polish: nail polish often contains guanine, which is made from ground-up fish scales. It is also found in cleaning products, fragrances, hair conditioners and skin care products.
Also, please make sure to contact me if you need any help with the transition process ❤

These easy Oreo ice cream sandwiches are my new favorite dessert! Scoops of ice cream stuffed in between Oreos and rolled in toppings is all it takes to get your chocolate fix! And, and and! A video for these babies down below! High fives all around.
Well, I found my latest obsession.
And it's fantastic.
Ice Cream. Oreos. Toppings.
If these weren't already America's favorite cookie, they would be now. Plus, I'm pretty sure they're now ice cream's favorite cookie. After this Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreo Cake and Cookies and Cream Oreo Cake, we definitely know they're cake's favorite cookie as well.
Gym membership that I cancelled years ago? I might be coming for you now with all this Oreo love going around.
These little pieces of joy are inspired by Klondike's Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches, which are, in one word, amazing.
But, while I may be biased, I'm a bit more partial to these homemade ones for two reasons:
1. I can customize it with any ice cream I want, including Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream, Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream, and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream,
and, most importantly,
2. These can be made whenever the Oreo/ice cream craving hits (it happens more than I care to admit).
Now, there is one crucial element to making these ice cream sandwiches:
Double Stuf Oreos.
From experience, let me tell you, the regular Oreos are pretty flimsy. In fact, the most recent batch I bought were so flimsy that, not only did I have to do a double take to see if there was even filling inside, I couldn't split any apart without them cracking.
Now I love Oreos–a lot–but I do feel like they gyp you a whole lot with the regular Oreos.
Okay, so there might be two crucial elements here. If you aren't feeling the Double Stuf, then I'm going to suggest using those fantastic Oreo Thins.
Why? Well, as you can see in the video below, if you use the Thins, you can actually use two cookies per ice cream sandwich. The Thins are actually a little too 'thin' to split, so I like to use them whole. Plus, I get double the cookie and filling that way.
That probably totally defeats the purpose of the Oreo being thin, but it's not like Ice Cream Stuffed Oreos were going to be healthy anyway… 😉
Oh yeah, these are totally ice cream's favorite cookie.
- 12 Oreos or 24 Oreo Thins
- 12 scoops of ice cream [homemade: https://www.alattefood.com/recipes/frozen-treats/] or store-bought
- Mini Chocolate Chips
- Sprinkles
- Toffee Bits
- Mint Chips
- Anything Your Heart Desires!
- Twist and pull Oreos apart. If using Oreo Thins, you can skip this step (as shown in video above)
- Spoon about 1 Tbsp of ice cream onto one side of the Oreos.
- Place the remaining Oreos on top of the ice cream and slightly press Oreo into the ice cream.
- Roll the sandwiches in your toppings.
- Enjoy!
- Freeze leftovers.

Pinktober-Mactweets Macattack
Anyway, enough whining! Let's get to the real reason for this month's challenge being coined Pinktober. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and pink is the color, particularly pink ribbons. The pink ribbon is a reminder to women everywhere that early detection is a key to survival where breast cancer is concerned.
Breast cancer has touched my family many times. When I was a child, my aunt(my mom's sister) died of breast cancer in her thirties. My mother also had breast cancer when I was about eight years old (she was about 38), but thankfully survived. Then, years later, my aunt ( another of mom's sisters) also succumbed to breast cancer in her early seventies.
I'm so grateful that my mother survived breast cancer and was able to help her four children grow up and be there to meet each of her grandchildren. My children don't really remember her because they were all very young when she passed away at the age of 59 from ovarian cancer. Their grandma sure loved them!
XOXO, Sue
Visit the MacTweet blog to see some successful macarons! Thanks Deeba and Jamie for hosting!

Oh, Sue, the story of the women in your family is heartbreaking and shows how badly we need a cure for these terrible diseases! Failed macs or not, I'm glad you posted with us for Pink October and helped spread the awareness.ReplyDelete
As for your macs. I had a few straight mac failures just like this and never understood why. Too much folding? Not enough. I do think part of my problem was not letting them sit long enough to form the skin but again that may be because they were too damp? I'll never know. But keep baking with us! We love having you in our kitchen!
Sue, I have never even attempted French macron in my life but love eating them! Here is a post you may enjoy.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your family's story!
Thanks for sharing your family story. I have had way more macaron failures than successes. I find the fun in not giving up. btw, the color of your macs - so pretty!ReplyDelete
Hi, thank you for sharing this story. Macarons are so dificult to make, at least for me. I have taken classes and a few months later they are starting to look better. Keep practicing.ReplyDelete
I think there is a reason so many of us are afraid to try macarons...they are hard!!!ReplyDelete
Your pink ribbon cookies on the other hand, are perfect. I am so sorry cancer has taken so many of your loved ones.
I dont care about the tiny, TINY little sinkage... these are WONDERFUL!! I bet they taste fantastic!ReplyDelete
Sue, Wish you were here to bake macs with us. Don't give up. They're worth it and oh so fun once you "get it". They can be finicky.ReplyDelete
The color is lovely. They remind me of my daughters pink leotards.
I love how you showed the failure! We all need to see that once in a while. I wish I had pictures of my first cake I made when I was in my teens, I can still picture it and I bet it was worse in real life. Love the cookie.ReplyDelete
What a terrible thing breast cancer is, I had two aunts that had it. I pray that someday they will find a cure.
If you try the witch cupcakes, use the recipe I gave for the fondant, don't use commercial. It tastes awful and is so hard to color. Add the color with the water and make the half batches I talk about and the fondant is the easy part. The kids would love helping. We got creative and did the monster eyes and other alien creatures and snakes.Have fun.
I'm so sorry you have had so many family members who have had to fight this horrible disease. I usually forget to remove the macaron template too. lol Yours are a pretty pink. I know the feeling of seeing feet only to be disappointed with the results. Hang in there - you'll get it. Measuring the ingredients with a scale really helped improve mine.ReplyDelete
I applaud you for attempting to make macarons. I've never tried yet. I'm sure that if you try again, it'll be a success.ReplyDelete
I'm scared of the macs. As much as I love Jamie, I run in fear of them.ReplyDelete
Sorry they didn't work out, but I'm impressed that you keep making them every month. And thanks for sharing your breast caner stories. So heartbreaking.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 27, 2010 at 9:09 AM
just want to say well done for attempting the macs in the name of Pinktober! Breast cancer has wreaked havoc in my family too, and this is all the more a very worthy cause.ReplyDelete
Keep going on the macs, do send me your recipe if you wish and I might be able to help you troubleshoot them =)
We've had as many maca-wrongs as maca-rights! Thanks for sharing your macaron/pinkaron experience. So far, the Italian meringue method works better for us in our kitchen more than the French one. Good luck with your continued macaron-making attempts. And many prayers for your family and all who have been affected by breast cancer.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for sharing your story about the all the strong women in your life. <3
As for your macarons...don't be so hard on yourself! Their feet look lovely, and I'm sure they were delicious :)
I'm so sorry to hear about the cancer in your family. I know how you feel. I have lost a lot of loved ones to this horrible disease. I pray for a cure every night.ReplyDelete
I love the color of the macs. I'm sorry they didn't come off the paper :(
I think this is the best pink post Sue, feet or no feet. I'm sorry you didn't find feet again, and I'm still very underconfident like you. Your pink reminder touched my heart, and your story is moving. One day maybe, they will find a cure. Until then, we can do our little bit and share some 'pink'! HUGS!!ReplyDelete
Cancer is such a real thing in all of our lives, isn't it? Thank you for sharing family stories of all the women who have been touched by this disease. No worries about your feet, there are so many more important things in the world :) Thanks for your email to me, all is well.ReplyDelete

When I first married my husband, I contemplated changing my name, except if I did, I'd forever be mispronouncing my own name. I cannot pronounce "Zhang" correctly. My husband and his family pronounce it something akin to "Jrrohhng." My tongue hurts when I try to pronounce it that way. So I say "Zayng," like zany with a twang.
Wrong or right, that is how I pronounce it. Zany with a twang. And that's how anybody trying to say Taryn Zhang should say the Zhang.
As for Taryn, some say tear-in, like tear my heart to shreds, while I say tahr-en. It's softer sounding. Tar, like the viscous black stuff. En, like enchant, or entice. Tahr-en Zayng.
In Chinese, the name of the brand is pronouned "da lun," my mother's best transliteration for Taryn. Normal this name is not! The majority of the native Chinese population would wring their faces at the juxtaposition of those two characters and look puzzled. However, I love the poetry of the name, and the meaning behind it.
Also, not sure if anybody noticed this, but I thought I'd be cute by drawing the first character "da" in "da lun" on one of my two-dimensional models from the previous post. I drew it from memory (while sick with the flu; that's my excuse!) and it turns out it was wrong. In fact, I had drawn a completely different word.
See the error? The top square thing isn't connected to the bottom line like I had done on the model's tee. Oops! =P

Your only goal as the landlord of buy to let property is likely to be letting your accommodation to tenants who pay the rent, may be expected to treat your property with the respect it deserves, and to move on as and when there is any termination of the tenancy.
Those may seem entirely reasonable and achievable objectives, but when it comes to landlord insurance, you might encounter more difficulties than you imagined.
Despite the fact that some councils are prepared to guarantee the rent payable by tenants on housing benefits, some insurers may take a completely contrary view and regard DSS tenants as a particularly high risk.
So much so, that your prospects of securing the landlords insurance cover for DSS tenants you need is made especially difficult – or expensive.
Why do you need landlords' insurance for DSS tenants?
The fact is that, in their calculation of the perils involved, many insurers consider certain tenants – including those on benefits – to represent an unacceptable risk.
The result may be a rejection of your proposal for essential cover if your let property is to go to tenants on housing or other DSS benefits.
The exception lies in arranging insurance – from a provider such as us here at UKinsuranceNET – where DSS tenants are positively welcomed as part and parcel of your attempts to make a financial success of your buy to let business.
Not only does let property insurance for DSS tenants therefore help to fill a void in this niche of the insurance market, but it may be imperative if your target market includes those who may be in receipt of such benefits.
What you need to know when buying cover
When buying your landlord insurance, there are a number of elements you might want to keep in mind:
- landlord building insurance for tenants on housing benefits, for example, needs to maintain a total insured sum to meet the possible need for completely rebuilding your property, but it might also need to take on board the risk of those very tenants causing malicious damage to the structure and fabric of your building;
- landlord building insurance for tenants on housing benefits therefore needs to incorporate this risk and provide adequate safeguards against it;
- even where you have ensured the minimum of contents within your let property, there is likely still to be a need to provide at least basic cover for items such as carpets, curtains and other soft furnishings.
Why choose UKInsuranceNET?
If you choose UKinsuranceNET for your landlord insurance needs, you may rest assured that we may find precisely the cover you require – whether or not you tenants are likely to include those on DSS benefits.
We specialise not only in insurance that might otherwise be difficult for landlords to secure, but also in those elements of cover which other policies may not cover – for example, cover against the risk of subsidence damage to the structure and fabric of your building.

Then I headed for home, where I measured and cut and fused and stitched, then stuffed the pillow with Poly-fil and finally applied the trim (love the trim). The trim is stitched on. The interfacing didn't fuse to the linen particularly well, but it did lend enough stability that when I stitched the whole packet together, there wasn't any dreaded fraying (remembering my horror as the seams I stitched on some Christmas ornaments frayed right past the stitching) and since those nearly ruined ornaments were due as a gift that weekend, I spent some panicky time fixing them (by using fabric glue to attach them to some black cardboard and then jamming the results into a couple of Christmas tree ornament frames). They turned out fine, but I may never be the same!
M and J Trimming. At lunch I would browse the button collection and the trims.
By the way, if you get the Pier One Imports little catalogue in the mail, look on the last page for the gold ornament tree. I am thinking of getting one to deck with all the ornaments I'd like to stitch! Here's a link to the online page with the trees.
Juliet/Crafty Green Poet asked last post if poor Elvis had friends now. Yes, he's madly in love with Elizabeth, pictured here. When the former threesome broke up, Pink and Peaches cast Elvis out, and he was beside himself with grief at their rejection. So although we didn't really want another rabbit, we let him choose a new mate when he was boarded at the bunny rescue/sitter, and we came home with Elizabeth. She is quite devoted to him, even though she's standoffish with us. We don't mind, as long as he's happy

Being involved in school activities, having a supportive family, and striving hard to get good grades proved to be a winning combination for Clarissa Flanagan to become as accomplished as she is.
Clarissa, who goes by Clare, is the vice president and valedictorian of the Class of 2007 at Holbrook Junior/Senior High School.
Clare, a lifelong resident of Holbrook, has been a student in the town's public schools since she was in kindergarten, and she is proud of this.
"It's a nice feeling to graduate with the same people I rode the bus with on the way to the Kennedy School," Clare said.
Clarissa, who goes by Clare, is the vice president and valedictorian of the Class of 2007 at Holbrook Junior/Senior High School.
Clare, a lifelong resident of Holbrook, has been a student in the town's public schools since she was in kindergarten, and she is proud of this.
"It's a nice feeling to graduate with the same people I rode the bus with on the way to the Kennedy School," Clare said.
Although Clare likes how Holbrook is small enough to be a tight community where many residents know each other, she is disappointed about what she feels is the lack of support the schools have received.
"One negative thing about Holbrook is that the schools are definitely lacking a lot of support, money, and resources," Clare said. "We lose a lot of students to private high schools because parents don't think that Holbrook schools offer a quality education. People need to realize that if you can take advantage of what you are given, you can still learn and accomplish just as much at a public school than you can at a private school."
She added, "I tried to prove that for the past four years and I think I succeeded, but with better facilities and resources to keep the bright students in Holbrook, our schools could rebuild their reputation."
Clare took advantage of many opportunities that were offered in high school.
She was the class vice president for three years, played the bass drum in the marching band and the timpani in the concert band, worked as a stage crew member for drama productions, served on the student council, and was the treasurer of the National Honor Society this year.
Next fall, Clare plans to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a school she almost didn't apply to because she never imagined that she would get accepted, she said.
Clare will study math, her favorite subject, and is considering a double major or a minor in biology.
She has a love for animals and may want to pursue a career in zoology, or she'd like to work in a profession that would allow her to use her math skills.Clare credits her family for her academic success.
Her parents (John, a member of the Holbrook school committee, and Libby) have always encouraged her to do her best and what makes her happy, she said.
Her brother Andrew, 20, and her sister Caitlin, 22, both successful students, helped guide Clare through high school and through their example set high standards for her to achieve.
Clare also said that teachers Karin McDonough, Michael Gonzales, Kristi Bach, and John Goniatis had a "huge influence" on her high school career.
One lesson Clare learned in school that wasn't in her schoolbooks was not to get "caught up in all the drama."Gossip, she found, can just be a distraction.
However, another thing Clare learned was that being involved made everything else bearable.
"My advice to underclassmen would be to keep your cool and don't get too stressed, but don't get too lazy either," she said. "Keep a good balance between work and play, and get involved. High school is much more tolerable when you have fun things to participate in and fun people to be around."
Clare is looking forward to the next part of her life, but she'll miss high school: not the structure, the handful of annoying teachers and students who got on her nerves, or the class work and assignments, but the familiarity of it all.
"I will miss my friends that I saw every day, including teachers," she said. "I'll miss the small community where everyone knows everyone else."

Indian Peaks Lodge
Room for 13, but maximum occupancy of 10 per Boulder County Vacation Rental regulations. Outdoor hot tub, and all new bedding.Huge 5-bedroom, 3-level home on 4 private acres in the mountains near Nederland. Outdoor hot tub, and all new bedding. Relax by a warm fire in the wood stove (free stacked wood included in rental) in this large home on a large lot that is perfect for a family or multi-family time in the mountains away from any neighbors.The home is situated 5 minutes away from Nederland on a very private dirt road. You will enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Front Range mountains while being close to the scenic mountain town of Nederland Colorado. Hike on your 4 acres or walk or drive a few minutes to Nederland area favorites like Mud Lake, Caribou Ranch open space, and the ghost town of Caribou. On the way to Nederland, you'll drive past the 'Ned rink' which has tennis in the summer and ice skating, hockey and curling (yes, curling) in the winter. The shops and restaurants of Nederland are only 5 minutes away and you can stock up on supplies, gas and groceries while there. Then another 10 minutes gets you up the mountains to Eldora Ski Resort where you'll find lots of alpine and cross country skiing. In 35 mins you can be in Boulder, in what the locals call down in 'flat lands'. 20 mins to gambling towns of Black Hawk and Central City (where there is a world-class operating opera hall, too!). 45 mins to the Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park.
The entry level of the home has a completely open floor plan with dining, kitchen and living areas all surrounded by natural wood floors and ceilings and plenty of windows to see the woods outside. The dining table seats 8 and there is room for 4 more at the kitchen counter. The well-equipped kitchen has granite countertops, tiled back splash, and all the extras you would expect in a home of this quality. Also on the main level is a 'kids' bedroom that sleeps three, in a queen futon with twin bunk on top. It has plenty of space, with two windows and a skylight, a desk and sofa, and two floor massage chairs, plus its own flat panel TV for watching and gaming. The kids may never leave their own retreat to join you if it weren't for the pool table on the ground level walk-out basement downstairs. Downstairs is a gaming/living area with chairs and a sofa, and that pool table. The large wood stove is also on this level so that the wood heat filters up through the rest of the home. The downstairs has two full baths and three bedrooms. One has a queen bed, and two have memory foam king beds that can also be split into 2 twins each, if that suits your party better. One of the king bedrooms has an attached en suite full bath, with the sink in the bedroom. All downstairs bedrooms have nice windows to the wooded outdoors and a closet. There is also a laundry room with a new full-sized washer and dryer, and utility sink downstairs. From downstairs, you can walk out to your large patio where you can enjoy the wooded back yard and bring in wood to keep the fire going. You can grill up dinner in the fresh mountain air on the patio. Heading upstairs, the entire 3rd level is an enormous master suite. The bedroom has an aspen king bed and a door to a 3rd floor deck. French doors lead to a reading area that has a futon sofa (two more could sleep there if you want). Through the French doors to the right is a large master spa area with a 2-headed walk-in shower, 2 sinks and a jetted tub with a view. The walk-in closet also in this area is as large as most bedrooms. The home has dish TV and satellite internet/Wi-Fi throughout. Cell phones work occasionally on property but service is poor. NOTE: The internet is via satellite, so email and web browsing will work perfectly, BUT STREAMING IS NOT ALLOWED. Satellite internet connections are limited to 10GB/mo which would be 3 hours of a movie on Netflix, so we pass the charge of $0.50/MB for any use over 250Mb per guest along to you. Sorry for this limitation, but satellite is the only way to get internet to this remote location (that is still just 3 mins drive to Nederland where the LTE service is over 50Mbps... go figure...). You will have access to the 2-car garage, too! Keeps two vehicles warm in the winter time. Note that the home is on a private dirt road that may require 4wd in the winter -- the road is plowed, but not hourly, or even daily, like a public road. AND ... There is an outdoor 6-person hot tub, accessible from the walk-out downstairs area. It's close to the house, but not too close. A perfect spot to watch the sunset with friends and a beverage of your choice (in a non-glass container :-). QUIET PLEASE: Our neighbors in this peaceful mountain community moved here for the tranquility and privacy. Guests to the property will need to respect our neighbors by respecting property boundaries and Boulder County Noise ordinances. No outdoor parties. Music must be played softly and conversations kept to normal levels.Expect limited or no cell phone service at the home. However, all four major US carriers (T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon) provide Wi-Fi calling, and if your plan supports that, you will be able to make calls when connected to the internet at the home.

Midwest Monday: Want a Turbine? Get in Line for 612 YEARS
What's the deal? There are hundreds of proposals - 306 to be exact - waiting to be approved by the Midwest Independent Transmission System (MISO). According to federal regulations, when MISO receives a wind power proposal, it has to locate any point along the transmission grid that's already maxed out, put a dollar figure on the work needed at those points, then give that bill to a developer. The developer has three years to decide whether to go ahead with the project. In the meantime, the other applicants in MISO's 15-state service area have to sit and wait.
The number of small wind projects have overwhelmed the agency and federal regulations make the process a first-come, first-serve deal. So technically, MISO staff should spend two years on one project before moving on to the next one. Hence the 306 requests in queue taking theoretically 612 years to process.
Obviously, we don't have that kind of time. MISO is adapting new procedures to get the queue taken care of in 50 years instead of 600. And in the next few months, it will ask federal regulators to approve new processes to speed up the procedure even more.
The slowdown is certainly costing developers. Ryan Wolf of southwestern Minnesota has been waiting two years to build 27 wind turbines. He told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he and his partners have $100,000 in expenses tied up with MISO, plus legal fees, permits, and land agreements. There is a shortage of wind turbines too, which is driving up costs as developers like Wolf sit and wait.
Clearly, the push of renewables has to have the infrastructure to move the projects along. An updated transmission grid, human power and the processes to implement it all efficiently are the unsexy nuts and bolts needed to transform our energy system.

It seems like the oil controlled federal government is deliberately slowing down the process. The first step is to lower the cost of oil and make everyone forget. The second step is stall the approval process of new wind projects. The 3rd step to lose their souls in hell.

Mike - government bureaucracy (rather than an oil conspiracy) seems to be the major culprit here. The siting, permitting, and landowner issues of these lines are incredibly tedious and time-consuming. Let's hope that any federal stimulus plan includes transmission construction projects and ways to get these projects fast-tracked.

Do you think there's anything the Obama administration can or will do to speed up this process? For that matter, is there anything we can do?
- April 01, 2009 11:50 PM

Good question Matt. New transmission lines and grid updates are a specific priority of Obama's budget, so that's encouraging. Furthermore, there's discussion about the role of states vs the federal government in siting regional transmission projects. Some argue the feds should have more control in siting the lines, rather than allow states (and communities) decide the process (which can slow it down).

How Common Are Crane Accidents?
If you're going to need to use a crane, you're going to also need to have outrigger crane pads, too. Otherwise, something catastrophic might happen. Here's what you should know.
Cranes can — and do — tip over. - The reason you need to use a crane pad is because they keep cranes secure. They prevent them from tipping over, something that happens a whole lot more than you might think. One study found that the odds of a crane tipping over to be one in every 10,000 hours of use. Though the odds are slim, they're not worth betting against.
Mobile cranes are particularly dangerous. - Mobile cranes are far more likely to tip over. Particularly if they're carrying a load that's too big when they're b

It helps to further understand how the online channel , can be better utilized to sell major kitchen appliances by using online penetration and expenditure forecasts and analysis on channels and online fulfillment, continue to threaten more mature multichannel retailers, utilize lower supply chain costs to provide highly competitive prices and investing in attractive fulfillment capabilities to entice shoppers away rivals.
Economic Outlook
- The Major Kitchen Appliances market will feel the impact of Brexit induced consumer reluctance to spend on big ticket items, resulting in a period of sales decline. Price inflation will kick in as hedging runs out and supply chain costs increase on the back of currency fluctuations.
- Retailers should focus on using mock kitchen setups instore to give consumers a clearer picture of how appliances would look at home in order to gain profits in the impacted scenario.
- While the full impact of Brexit remains to be seen, economic uncertainty will reduce the propensity for people to purchase, therefore to stimulate spend during a period of low demand, retailers must invest strategically in price reductions and promotions.
- As the economy begins to recover from 2019, those people who were unable to make big-ticket purchases will need to replace existing appliances, releasing pent up demand and supporting stronger volume growth.
- The growth of the kitchen appliances market is supplemented by rising disposable incomes, changing lifestyles, increasing health concerns and the growing food and services industry. The kitchen appliances market primarily includes refrigerators, cooking appliances, dishwashers and others.
The other category includes coffee maker, grinders, kettles and the refrigerator market contributes for a larger market share in the global kitchen appliances market.

Why do young women and men decide to become doctors?
For many, it's a calling. A strong desire to help those in need and to change lives. They feel richly rewarded by the trust to give advice, and the gratitude for helping someone through a difficult illness – all well worth committing a decade or more of their lives to training.
However, with today's speedy advances in all medical fields, least of all our specialty, lifelong learning is more than a byword.
It is for the purpose of facilitating such continuing medical education and professional development as well as of maintaining and improving the welfare of ORL-HNS specialists in Europe that the Confederation was founded.
The Confederation also endeavours to advance Science and Research in Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (ORL-HNS) and allied disciplines, and to unify the advancement of ORL-HNS in Europe.
One of the Confederation's major objectives is to biennially organise scientific events specifically targeting trainees, specialists and Fellows.
Together with its member organisations and allied societies, it will work towards one aim – to put Europe firmly on the ORL-HNS map, to create one voice for ORL-HNS in Europe and beyond.

How I Spent My Summer
Traditionally there has always been some fluctuation in the real estate market. That is why you hear the term "seasonally adjusted". It's generally not a great time to list a house on Labour Day or Easter weekend. Then there is The Christmas holidays between mid December and Mid January. For most, these are days for relaxing, travelling, and celebrating. But what about July and August? While there is some business still going on through July, August tends to be pretty quiet so, by all means, take a bit of time off to recharge those batteries but remember that the tail end of August should be used to ramp up for the Fall.
Before jumping into the audience participation part of the morning, I talked a bit about Destitute Dan, a fictitious agent who really didn't do anything to keep his business going over the summer. He made some good money in the spring and figured that he had enough to carry him through to the Fall market. Dan spent a lot of time at the cottage, worked on his tan, went out to dinner with his friends, slept in, and even found some time to help his parents clean out their garage, but by the end of August Dan was pretty much out of money. The point is that Dan didn't budget his time very well. He did not invest any time or money preparing himself for the fall market. By Labour Day, Dan was already behind on his marketing, and in a few short weeks, Dan will be behind on his CEU credits, his website will be in need of a serious update….well you get the picture.
We had a good discussion on the things we should be doing, so check out the list above. Got something I missed? let me know and I will add it. The piont to this exercise was to get the agents thinking that real estate is a full time business. Like any job, it requires a strong committment of time and effort for it to pay off. And while the job requires daily attention, we are reminded to view the big picture as well. When there isn't a lot of homes to inspect, there are other matters to attend to.

Rails, Textdrive, and Capistrano
The development box for chartpart was down for almost a day earlier in the week. Textdrive (aparently) had trouble with the shared host box on Sunday, and ended up having to take it down, reinstall the OS, etc. My rails app didn't come back up after their reboot, and I couldn't kick it back to life. Some of the hazards of shared hosting.
Since doing the original setup a few months ago using Geoff's nice shovel cap script, a nice official guide to setting up Rails on Textdrive has been written, and things are in different locations, different mechanisms, etc. I ended up having to go through this process for chartpart, and it worked nicely.
I posted some earlier updates to shovel, but it looks like some more are needed if it's going to reflect textdrive's recommended config. Anyone done this work already?
This comes as our aplus.net value ($49/mo) dedicated server just came on-line. This is where chartpart will move for its "official" beta (can't wait for Amazon's hosting).

National Institute of Informatics - Digital Silk Road Project
|Cathay and the Way Thither : vol.1
for it has prevailed to our own day among their neighbours in parts of Asia most remote from each other.' The silk, silk-stuffs,
and furs of China preserve their fame to our own day also' ; and their iron to which Pliny assigns the palm was probably that fine
cast-iron, otherwise unknown to the ancients, which is still one of
the distinguishing manufactures of China.2
15. Of actual diplomatic communication with the Seres I be-
lieve there is only one obscure trace in Roman history ; this is in the representation of the historian Florus that among the numerous missions from remote nations that sought the footstool
of Augustus there came envoys also from the Seres.3
1 Thus Wood quotes the testimony regarding the Chinese of a travelled Mullah in Badakshan : " Like every other native of those countries with whom I conversed on the subject, he praised their probity and good faith" (p. 279). Burnes heard that " their commercial regulations are just and equitable. The word of a Chinese is not doubted, nor does the tea ever differ from the sample" (iii, 195). And on the remote frontier of Burma and Siam, " all the travellers whose journals I have consulted speak in unconscious unison of the bitter feeling with which the Burmese are regarded by all the alien tribes which are in any way subject to their authority. And they speak with a like unanimity of the high character which was ascribed to the Chinese for justice, moderation, and good faith" (On Geog. of Burma, etc., in J. R. G. S., xxvii).
2 " Ex omnibus autem generibus palma Serico ferro est. Seres hoc cum vestibus suis pellibusque mittunt" (xxxiv, 41). "We found cast-iron pots and pans of remarkable quality to form a chief item among the miscellaneous " notions" (apart from the silk which is the staple) imported by the Chinese into Ava by the Yunan Road. The art of iron casting is, like most Chinese arts, a very old one ; and we find that in the first century B.C. the people of Tawan or Farghana acquired the new art of casting iron tools and utensils from Chinese deserters (Julien, quoted by Lassen, ii, 615). There is mention of Chinese iron in a passage of the Arabian geographer Ibn Khurdadbah, quoted below (§ 83).
3 " Even the rest of the nations of the world which were not subject to the imperial sway were sensible of its grandeur, and looked with reverence to the Roman people, the great conqueror of nations. Thus even Scythians and Sarmatians sent envoys to seek the friendship of Rome. Nay the Seres came likewise, and the Indians who dwelt beneath the vertical sun, bringing presents of precious stones and pearls and elephants, but thinking all of less moment than the vastness of the journey which they had undertaken, and which they said had occupied four years. In truth it needed but to look at their complexion to see that they were people of another world than ours. The Parthians also, as if repenting for their presumption in defeating the Romans, spontaneously brought
