You have all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I bet you have also all heard that many people don't eat breakfast because they claim they do not have time. That "no time" excuse is used for anything and everything wouldn't you say. No one seems to have time for exercise, mammograms, physicals, to walk their dog, to play with their kids, to just about anything these days. It's funny we all use that excuse because if you have time to read this post right now you could be preparing something for breakfast to enjoy:) I'm just saying….anyhow, let's talk about how we can all make time for breakfast.
First, it all starts with a plan. Whether you are single, have children, spouses, significant others, or friends that you live with will depend on the amount you plan for each week. I will use my family as an example along with the children I offer daycare to during the week. So that means I feed two adults and three children (my son fends for himself) every morning. You will need about 30-45 minutes to set aside on the weekend or your day off to carry out this plan. (I use Sunday's typically)
Sunday mornings I get up and while having coffee and breakfast of my own, I put on a dozen eggs to boil. By the time breakfast is done so are the eggs and are ready to be cooled before I peel them. While waiting for them to cool, I start an assembly line of other things that I prepare weekly. Overnight oats (many varieties are on the recipe page), granola parfaits with greek yogurt, smoothie ingredients so they are ready to blend in a hurry, and fruit to grab and go.
About once a month we also prepare whole wheat pancakes for everyone and freeze them in Ziplok bags. They are so easy to grab, pop in the toaster, and eat in a hurry with no mess to clean up during the week. Yes, I could purchase frozen pancakes but my family and kiddos love pancakes. When we premake pancakes we typically make 75-100 per month. Although, you could buy yours and they would offer the same fast, hot breakfast for you.
My breakfast arrangement really works for us. I know at 4:30 a.m. the last thing I want to do is think about making breakfast. And at 6 a.m. when my kiddos show up hungry, they are not always willing to wait for something to eat. I can grab two eggs, can of V-8 and a banana and my husband is fed and out the door. My kiddos can have pancakes and fruit or a granola parfait in seconds and still have smiles on their faces. A weeks worth of premade breakfast items for my crew is normally, 3 jars of overnight oats, 2 mini granola parfaits, 3 regular granola parfaits, dozen hard boiled eggs, two fresh pineapples, 6-8 bananas, 25 premade pancakes, and peanut butter for toast/english muffins/ bagels. This is 30-45 minutes of a weeks worth of breakfast…tadaaaaa!
I can imagine that many of you are starting to think about starting a weight loss plan with the new year right around the corner. Breakfast should be an important part of this plan also. Eating breakfast will give you the energy to sustain any new exercise you plan to do, it will keep you nourished helping you not overeat when you eat your next meal, and will simply just make your mornings so much smoother and productive. That being said, this is your time to experiment, make a new routine and get ready to feed your body a healthy breakfast. Then, come the new year, when you start your weight loss journey you will already know what you like and what works best for you at breakfast time.
We all seem to have appointments, meetings, and something going on all the time. Adding this to your weekly plan and getting a good breakfast every morning can really improve the productivity in your daily life.
Do you eat breakfast?
If so, what works best for you in a hurry?

|Sorry if you've got Gotye stuck in your head now.
1. A decent character for Marion Cotillard. You already know my feelings on Chris Nolan's idea of what constitutes a good female character, so first of all I'm hoping that Miranda Tate will seem like a fully realised person rather than a few lines of clunky dialogue held together with good acting. Apparently part of her role is encouraging Bruce Wayne to continue his father's legacy as a philanthropist, and I'm interested to see how Nolan handles this. In the sillier Batman adaptations of the '80s and '90s it's easy enough to swallow the fact that Bruce Wayne's solution to Gotham's crime rate is to become a costumed vigilante, but the Dark Knight trilogy's relentless pursuit of gritty realism means that Batman teeters dangerously close to the edge of the superhero-ridiculousness Uncanny Valley at all times. If he could be putting his billions to good use as a philanthropist, then why bother being Batman in the first place? The argument is that Gotham's justice system is so hopelessly corrupt that only Batman can properly deal with the city's organised crime problem, but the more the film draws attention to the fact that Bruce Wayne could be solving these problems with money instead of his fists, the more self-indulgent Batman seems as a basic concept.

I like reading books about adoption, but most of the books about the subject are either non-fictional stories, informational handbooks, or picture books intended to explain adoption to small children. I had almost given up believing that there are any fictional novels out there mainly about adoption -- let alone good, engaging ones -- when, perusing the stacks at the public library one day, a title jumped out at me.
The title I noticed, Then She Found Me, struck me immediately as a phrase you might hear when speaking of adoption search and reunion. I was none too happy to liberate the book from its narrow slot among dozens of other titles on the shelf to read the jacket's inside copy. It turned out that my impression was correct. Finally, I'd found a real story about adoption.
The story, about the reunion of a birth mother and her 36-year-old daughter, may contain a few too-dramatic elements. I also wonder if the depiction of the birth mother as a semi-famous eccentric woman plays upon typical fantasies people have of birth mothers in general. However, the story ends up being a good-natured, intelligent tale about the challenges and situations commonly arising in birth family reunions.
The protagonist is April Epner, the 36-year-old adopted daughter of deceased German-Jewish immigrant parents. April is working as a Latin teacher in a Massachusetts high school when she is approached while retrieving mail from her apartment mailbox. The woman who approaches her explains that she is an intermediary for someone from April's past, who wants very much to meet her. This person, the woman carefully declares, is April's birth mother.
At first, April demonstrates no interest whatsoever in meeting her birth mother. In the first two paragraphs of the book, we learn that all April knows of her birth mother is that she was 17 when she got pregnant, and this much information is more than enough for April. She explains that she has always felt grateful for being given up, because, to her adoptive parents, she was hand-selected, star-crossed, and precious. This was infinitely more appealing to her than being with a mother who, April believes, would have thought of her as unplanned and unwanted.
In addition to her lifelong indifference about her roots, April is appalled to sense that she is being sized up for some stamp of approval. She wonders why this enthusiastic stranger, who claims to be a close friend of her birth mother, is taking notes and making comments about definitely recommending April. Who is she to judge anyone? The woman picks up on April's energy and explains only that her birth mother is a famous woman, and she needed to send an intermediary to intuit April's character. She couldn't, in her current position, invite a gold-digging or attention-seeking daughter into her affluent world in the spotlight.
April learns her birth mother's name, and realizes that she knows of her as a local celebrity with her own television talk show. This is not enough to impress April, who hasn't even seen the show. April agrees reluctantly to meet the woman, thinking that, at the very least, she has nothing to lose but the tiniest smidgen of curiosity.
Their meeting at a gourmet restaurant is informative and slightly awkward, but not upsetting. April is clearly not half as enthusiastic about the reunion as is her birth mother, a gushing woman who talks too much about herself and her own success, rather than inquiring about April.
It turns out that, to some extent, Bernice has been able to keep up with April's life. Years ago, in a very unlikely turn of events, Bernice sneaked a peek at her relinquished baby's file when she visited the agency one day. She learned the name of April's adoptive parents, and by the time of their meeting 36 years later had amassed a small collection of newspaper clippings of April's life. The news of her adoptive parents' deaths was what spurred Bernice to feel it was the right time to come forward.
All April can think about, however, is how selfish her birth mother appears. She is an unmarried woman over 50 with no children of her own, and who is completely wrapped up in her own career and emotions and love life. On the one hand, April can't imagine this woman having the time and interest to seek her out. On the other hand, if Bernice was as busy and self-absorbed as she seemed, why would she seek out her birth daughter -- unless she had a genuine, unexplainable need?
April goes on with her daily life pretty much as always, only now she meets with Bernice once a week. She also receives daily phone calls from Bernice at the high school, even ones that interrupt her while she is in class. Everything that April does, it appears, is mostly to appease Bernice's desire to have April in her life. April seems, for the first third of the book, to have no personal need to keep seeing Bernice.
The character do, however, begin to unfold, and I really enjoyed this slow but fascinating process. Eventually we learn that April is not as disinterested in her biology as she initially seemed, nor was she as completely content with her upbringing. Her parents -- while loving, generous people -- were Holocaust survivors who never really emotionally recovered from their experiences in Germany. They kept an emotional distance between themselves and the world, including April.
Perhaps because of this, April is drawn to Bernice, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and keeps the line of communication open between April and herself. Also, Bernice's emphasis on each of their love lives pushes April to develop her own -- only, not in the way Bernice would like. April enjoys exercises her right to control her own life and prides herself on keeping her individuality, especially in the face of the slightly overbearing Bernice.
One of the most intriguing elements to the story, which has nothing to do with adoption, is April's interest in her school's gawky librarian. I like how the author developed the book with the theme of adoption as parallel to, but not more important than, the universal theme of the human search for love and belonging.
The elements of the story are supposed to be fictitious. However, some of them play up stereotypes that are out of proportion with reality and really need to be downplayed accordingly at this point. The depiction of the birth mother as supremely selfish is one example of such a stereotype, as is the coolly detached vision of the birth daughter, who has always felt completely whole and happy, despite the lack of knowledge about her genetic heritage. Even the element of Bernice's fame plays on a fantasy that many adopted people have of their birth parents.
The nature of the fictional story is to exaggerate each characters' qualities for the sake of clarity and conciseness. I hope that anyone who reads this fictional story takes this into account, and does not make blanket assumptions about all birth mothers, adopted people, or adopted parents.
That said, I like Then She Found Me because it asks real questions that tend to come up in adoption circles, but in a uniquely dramatic context. The theme isn't based on case studies or psychological theory. The author brings up questions such as, Is birth family really family? Where does the adopted person belong? What leads a woman with an unplanned pregnancy to choose adoption? How does this decision affect her daily life after the fact? How does it affect her child's life?
For the characters in the book, these questions are answered, to some extent at least, one by one, as they naturally come up in the course of the reunion. Each adoption situation has its own special quality and unique combination of circumstances. It is helpful to read of others who have gone through these experiences, but it is just as helpful to remember that there are no right or wrong ways to deal with each situation that arises.
April's story has a uniqueness and a life all its own. I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the complexities and challenges of dealing with family life, whatever shape it takes, as well as the single life of a modern American woman.

Moray Offshore Renewable Power
Moray West Publishes Scoping Report Considering
Moray Offshore Renewables Consults On New Offshore Wind Development
Edinburgh 3 June 2016. Moray Offshore Renewables Ltd (MORL) has announced intention to open consultation on the development of offshore wind on the remainder of its zone in the Outer Moray Firth.
In 2010, The Crown Estate awarded MORL development rights for up to 1500MW in Zone 1 (Moray Firth). MORL split the site into an Eastern and Western Development Area, and developed proposals for the Eastern Development area first, receiving consent from the Scottish Government for 1,116MW in 2014. This represents the average electricity needs of over 700 000 households.
MORL today announced that it will open consultation on proposals to develop the Western Development area in June.
Dan Finch, EDPR's Director of Offshore said:
"We worked hard to deliver a high-quality project in the Eastern Development Area, with no impediments to its construction. All that we need to proceed is a contract which will enable us to sell power in the reformed electricity market, and we look forward to the UK Government announcing the next 'Contract for Difference' (CfD) auction, which will allow us to compete for the contract which we need to deliver the project.
"Today we are announcing proposals to develop the Western area of our site to maximise renewable energy generation in the zone which was allocated to us by the Crown Estate. This can create a pipeline of offshore wind projects in the Moray Firth, and associated opportunities for the local economy.
"MORL received considerable support from local communities as we developed the Eastern Area of our site. We will be returning to those communities with events this summer which will be announced in the local press. This will help to establish the level of support for the development of the Western area of the site.
"I look forward to continuing to working with all of the individuals and organisations who have an interest in the Moray Firth; their participation is vital to the successful and sustainable delivery of new infrastructure."
Minister for Business, Innovation and Energy Paul Wheelhouse said:
"The Scottish Government is committed to the successful and sustainable development of an offshore wind sector and today's announcement by EDPR to consult on the viability of the Western Development Area in the Moray Firth is the next step in that process.
"It is essential that communities and organisations with an interest in this proposal have an opportunity to comment and welcome EDPR's programme of engagement over the course of the summer to gauge opinion.
"We have always stated that to realise and harness Scotland's offshore renewable wealth we must do so in a sustainable way, that ensures communities can also benefit from the new economic opportunities presented by this sector."
Notes To Editors:
- Moray Offshore Renewables Ltd (MORL) was established in 2010 to develop offshore wind generation in the outer Moray Firth. MORL is owned by EDPR.
- MORL's work to date in the Moray Firth has been in the Eastern Development Area (EDA) within the Zone, as this part of the zone had fewest constraints to development. MORL is now examining the feasibility of development of the Western Development Area (WDA).
- MORL will publish a Scoping Document for the Environmental Impact Assessment for the WDA, which will provide details of the initial proposals for consultation for up to 90 turbines, which would be capable of supplying the equivalent annual average electricity needs for 470 000 homes (assuming 8MW turbine) .
- The 2013 Energy Act introduced arrangements for 'Contracts for Difference' (CfDs). These contracts are the mechanism by which all new renewable generation is supported through a competitive auction which sets the price at which the electricity generated is sold. The auctions are set by the UK Government and the parameters of the auction determine a number of factors including the year for delivery for the infrastructure and the capacity of infrastructure to be supported in any given year. The results of the last auction were announced in February 2015. The UK Government has indicated that potentially three further auctions will be held within the lifetime of this UK Parliament.

Attempts to improve student performance by giving teachers and schools financial incentives to raise test scores have failed internationally, while opportunities for school communities to identify and share effective practices show promise, a conference hosted by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) in Melbourne will hear tomorrow.
15 May 2014: Attempts to improve student performance by giving teachers and schools financial incentives to raise test scores have failed internationally, while opportunities for school communities to identify and share effective practices show promise, a conference hosted by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) in Melbourne will hear tomorrow.
ACER CEO Professor Geoff Masters AO will tell delegates at the Excellence in Professional Practice Conference that international experience was not encouraging about the ability of financial rewards to produce meaningful improvements in student results.
"Many education systems have used incentives in an effort to raise test scores. These include financial rewards for school improvement, performance pay for teachers, and sanctions for poor school results. But research published by the United States National Research Council shows that rewards and sanctions generally do not lead to improved student performance," Professor Masters said.
Professor Masters will tell the conference that incentive schemes are often based on the belief that incentives work in the world of business. "Although performance pay may improve performance in some low-skilled jobs, it can have the opposite effect when used in professional contexts. In fact, research in psychology shows that when people are paid for things they would have done anyway, performance can decline."
The problem with incentive schemes, Professor Masters will argue, is that they misunderstand what motivates teachers. "Incentive schemes are based on the assumption that what is lacking is effort; carrots and sticks are used to encourage teachers and schools to lift their game. But this seriously underestimates the importance of building teachers' knowledge about how to improve learning and performance."
The Excellence in Professional Practice Conference will bring together teachers and school leaders to share what they are learning about school improvement from systematic studies of day-to-day practice. The conference recognises that, every day across Australia, teachers are creating new solutions to classroom challenges, but the opportunity to share these solutions and contribute to a wider professional knowledge base are rare.
"The performance of Australian schools will not be improved through rewards and sanctions, but by the widespread adoption of evidence-based practices. When teachers and school leaders work together as improvement communities to identify and share effective practices, all students benefit," Professor Masters will tell the conference.
ACER will also launch Teacher at the Excellence in Professional Practice Conference. Like the conference itself, this new online publication provides educators, educational leaders and researchers with a platform through which they can learn about and share high quality, up-to-date information on evidence-based approaches to teaching and learning.
The Excellence in Professional Practice Conference will be held in Melbourne on 16-17 May. Further information is available from www.acerinstitute.edu.au/conferences/eppc

Garbage Disposal Services College Station
The old adage sure seems like it holds today, doesn't it: the average life expectancy is the length of the warranty plus one day! While this "feels" true, you'll be happy to know that the average lifespan of a kitchen disposal is twelve years. That's quite a long time when you consider they're relatively inexpensive (at least as far as kitchen appliances go).
So, what can you feed your disposal that might keep it happy and shredding? You can send almost anything down the disposal so long as you keep the water running. There are a few things that will prematurely age your disposal and possibly ruin it completely.
Never feed your disposal highly fibrous vegetables: celery stalks, corn husks, or asparagus. Those strings will wrap themselves around the small moving parts: the blades, the rotating heads, etc. Never feed your disposal coffee grounds: they create a dark sludge that settles at the bottom and creates the blockage in the pipes. Grounds won't keep blades from turning, but they settle layer by layer into the pipes which hurts water flow. Of course, there are the old standard "nevers" — egg shells, potato peelings, grease, or hard fruit pits (think peach pits). These can damage blades or stick to the interiors of the cannister. If it needs to be mentioned, don't send bones down the disposal. They splinter and jam blades. Roofing nails. Don't send roofing nails down the garbage disposal — you think we're kidding, but…we've been doing this a long time and have seen some crazy things!
PRO-TIP: grinding a lemon rind down the disposal every once in awhile can "freshen" the disposal, keeping it clean and eliminating disgusting odors. Make sure to run the disposal every night after dinner to keep the sink lines clear and pests from taking interest in what remains at the bottom of your sink. Give JBG a call if you feel like your sink disposal is underperforming or nearing the end of its lifespan. They're certainly worth the small investment.

Getting to Niagara Falls from Toronto can be done in a number of ways. Niagara Falls is between an hour and a half and a two-hour drive from downtown Toronto.
The QEW is a major six/eight-lane highway that connects Niagara Falls and Toronto. It provides the most direct route between the two cities but is by no means scenic. If you would like a more scenic route, hop off the highway around St. Catherine's and take Hwy 81 through wine country, to discover a beautiful, rolling countryside with a wine route clearly marked. In addition, at Burlington, follow Lakeshore Road, which runs along the Lake Ontario shore, and gawk at all the mansions.
From Toronto, you'll follow signs first for the Gardiner Expressway West, which becomes the QEW (Queen Elizabeth Way) West. From Toronto Pearson Airport, take the 427 South to QEW West.
In Burlington—about halfway through your drive—veer left to follow signs for QEW Niagara.
Finally, about a half-hour past Burlington, take the 420 exit on the left.
Public Transit
Go Transit operates a year-round combination train/bus route between Toronto and Niagara Falls. Passengers must transfer to a bus in Burlington to continue onto Niagara Falls.
From May to the end of September weekend train service between Toronto and Niagara Falls is available with special cars outfitted to accommodate bicycles.
VIA Rail offers direct, daily service between Niagara Falls and Toronto.
Note that the bus station and the train station are in old Niagara Falls, about a 5-min drive from the Falls themselves.
Numerous shuttles take passengers from Toronto Pearson International Airport to Niagara Falls. Note though that flying into Buffalo is another option for visiting Niagara Falls, where a shuttle ride will be less than half the time and cost.
Niagara Airbus offers pickups from the airport or downtown hotels.
Megabus is probably the cheapest way to get to Niagara Falls from Toronto—other than riding your bike.
Guided Tours
A guided tour of Niagara Falls may be a great way to see the top attractions in the area and have experts take care of transportation, tickets, etc. Consider what you want to get from your tour to Niagara Falls before booking. Some questions to ask yourself are: Do you want lots of free time? Do you want to ride the Hornblower Boat Tour (formerly Maid of the Mist)? Do you want to visit a winery? Do you want to visit Niagara-on-the-Lake? Do you want a meal included? Do you want to see the Falls lit up in the evening?
If you are staying at a Toronto hotel, the concierge will be able to arrange a tour for you.
Places to Stop
It takes about an hour and a half or two hours to drive between Toronto and Niagara Falls, the most direct route being alongside Lake Ontario on the Queen Elizabeth Highway (QEW). If you have the time, a number of places along the way are worth a visit.
Burlington is less than an hour from Toronto along the QEW. If you want to get off the pavement and enjoy some green space, stop at the Royal Botanical Gardens, a designated national historic site that includes 400 acres of display gardens, exhibits, cafe, and shop. It's minutes off the highway.
Hamilton is midway between Toronto and Niagara Falls. Part steel town, part university town, Hamilton has several interesting attractions. If nothing else, take in the view of the waterside steel factories pumping out pollution—a strange tourist attraction, but one that fascinates everyone who visits. Other Hamilton highlights include:
Once past Hamilton, if you would like to take a more scenic route to Niagara Falls, get off the QEW either at Fifty Rd. or Casablanca Blvd. and take Hwy 81 through the towns of Grimsby, Beamsville, Vineland—all part of the Niagara Wine Region. Stop in the town of Jordan to visit Cave Springs, one of the most popular wineries.

Hi, guys! I think every mom can understand how all we need time for everything, especially when we tell about preparing of dishes. I really try to do only healthy food, buy only healthy products, but…you can recognize that I've a sweet tooth, because I am a blogger and I share with you all sweet recipes. So, my children and my husband are happy when I try new recipes for my blog. But except blogging, me as a mom, need to do a lot of things, so time is limited for dessert. Except time, at this hot weather I don't have any desire to pass a lot of time baking some cake and increasing degree into my kitchen. I decided to prepare this yummy cold dessert to show you that you don't need to pass a lot of time to prepare something great.
Raspberry Rose Water Layer Cake
Summer is a season of berries. Everybody likes the one the most. As for me my favorite berries are raspberry and blueberry. As a mom I heard a lot about healthy qualities of these pretty berries.
Easy Raspberry Cheesecake Bites
If you try these Easy Raspberry Cheesecake Bites, then they could be your favorite dessert. My children like preparing it even I do not have a time for help them.

I've been quite busy and haven't had much time to post lately. At least I have been driving my car again!
When Pat finished my engine swap in the Civic, I took the car to Sajan's shop, Synoptic Tuning, for a dyno tune. The numbers did not disappoint, as the new engine made 184 whp.
I lent my car to Pierre and Jam for the SPC road race at St-Eustache, which was to be held at the same time as the ASE time attack. Pierre and Jam would do their runs, then swap on my race tires so I could go out for my own runs. They each managed a top-10 finish with the Civic, but my own lap times were disappointing. Also, Pierre managed to scrape the wall and leave a few nice scratches on the righ side of the car (he has offered to pay for repairs). I was personally hoping to dip into the 59-second range, but my best lap was a 1:01.7. It didn't help that the vtec was not engaging at the correct RPM (this would later be corrected by Sajan).
After that unsatisfying day, Pascal convinced me to enter the car at last weekend's Spring Classic at Tremblant. This event is the subject of my previous, more detailed post. Suffice it to say, the car performed well, but it sure puffs a lot of smoke when I release the gas pedal!
I went out to Monday lapping before yesterday and still could not go faster than 1:01.7. I compared the data to last year's laps, and the car is not significantly faster at the end of the straights. I don't know if I'm still making 184 whp, or if I screwed something up. The car is presently at Marc's and hopefully, he will be able to figure out what's going on after fixing my power steering. At least I got to drive a C6 Corvette ZR1 for a few laps. The power of that car is simply insane! It must be the most powerful car I have ever driven, with 638 hp.
Other than that, the weather has been pretty great and it feels like summer is already here. Alex and I are quite busy at home making preparations for the baby in August, and I will take a weekend off from racing to do some baby shopping and assemble a mountain of furniture from Ikea.

Magic Tea and Dalek Cupcakes (They're Awesome!)
I guess blogging, like with anything, there's a time to know when to break the rules. Today, I am rambling just like I used to.
For starters, sorry again for the gap. Birthday + nasty cough = letting things slide. Not that the cough and the birthday were at the same time, thank goodness. I had one, then the other. And talking of my birthday, see photo below!
The Doctor Who decorations and cake kit were a bit of a surprise from my mother. It certainly added a little something to my party, which consisted of four friends and two brothers coming over and all of us stuffing ourselves with pizza then talking geeky stuff until … uh, quite late. Late in my book, anyway. I'm no night owl.
The cough hasn't been nice. Usually I can stave off colds with what I call my "magic tea"–it's not magic, just a Chinese herbal tea called Xiasangju Keli. I just have a cup or two when I start getting the sniffles and it clears up–much better than First Defence, which I've never liked. I've never got a full-on cold since I began drinking it (the time I forgot to drink it aside), though sore throats seem to be something else. Either that or I just didn't drink enough. Anyway, I'm just coming out of my lack-of-sleep haze enough to be able to write something coherent and hopefully interesting. I've spent most of the last few days watching House of Anubis (series two, second time!) and reading Percy Jackson–finished the first series for the second time, and just finished the first in the second, for the first. The two combined have given me some strange dreams and story ideas. I'm itching to write something with weird puzzles and time travel.
Today, for only the second time ever, I did an entry at 750words.com. It would be a very useful site if I remembered to use it more often. I wish I had the gumption to do it every day, but when I look at the little link in my toolbar I think, I dunno what I would write/I feel dry/my brain's not up to the task, etc. But I managed to get my fingers moving on the keyboard again and spurt out a load of random stuff, some of which I have just re-written for this paragraph! I'm hoping using it will get me back into blogging, and give me more randomness to offer the world.
I'm changing the subject back to the cupcakes, but only because I didn't want to put this earlier for formatting purposes:
Nothing says "I love you in all your geekiness" like #Dalek cupcakes from Mum on my birthday.
— Alex Harlequin (@aharlequin) January 26, 2014
My copy of You is For University, in which "Nutshell" is published, is in the post! Finally I can see my name in print for the first time. And in my final bit of news, I received an offer for someone to translate some of my Doctor Who fanfiction into Russian! I actually got the request a while ago but I've just said yes (I thought I had already for ages). I've already had a Harry Potter drabble posted in French … does this make my work trilingual? Okay, probably not, since I'm not doing the translating. But still!

Topic: Black Sheep of the Family (10/03/13)
- TITLE: Feathers and Wool
By Susan Gurney
"Friends... family... it is a privilege this day to honor my Babushka, my dear Grandma Feathers. Though most saw her as a simple, thoughtful woman, those who knew her best knew that Marta Romanov could be a headstrong force with which to be reckoned!"
A few chuckles floated up, along with nods and the dabbing of eyes.
"Born fifth of eight children in 1923 in Moscow, Russia, Marta was secretly introduced at a young age to the gospel of Jesus by her Christian babushka--her mother's mother. Even Marta's parents--who were already becoming good communist atheists--did not know Marta had become a Christian at age eleven. As she grew older, Marta often spoke against the things she saw wrong: the abuse of alcohol by her parents and their friends; the condemnation by her world of all things "God"; and the injustices of life, including the fact she was being denied a higher education by society. Her parents, concerned about their drastically 'different' daughter, were alarmed when their older children reported that Marta had been talking about God to neighborhood friends. Amidst taunts of 'belaya vorona!'--'white crow!'--from neighbors and siblings, along with parental pressure to 'keep her thoughts to herself', Marta started begging her parents to let her go to Paris to finish her schooling. Finally they relented, telling sixteen year old Marta that if she could make her way there, they would scrape together a few rubles to help. Tearful goodbyes were said, with all knowing this would probably be the last time they would see Marta, and she, them. In 1939 Marta disappeared--quickly swallowed up by worldwide political upheaval, and her Russian family never saw or heard from her again. Yes, I'm sure regret was felt by both sides, but Marta always believed her family was relieved because 'the white crow'--we would now call her 'the black sheep of the family'--was out of sight and mind."
"Most of you know the rest of the story: Marta skipped Paris all together and ended up in New York City, completed enough schooling to get her teacher's certificate, and later married my Grandpa Lou. I want to close with a big 'thank you' to my Grandma Feathers up in Heaven for leading me to Christ when I was just a boy and starting me on the path I'm on today. Next Sunday I preach my first sermon in my first pastorate. I'm 'Reverend' Lawrence Williams now!"
A smattering of applause and murmurs rose from those gathered around Marta Romanov's casket. As others stood to share memories, Lawrence's mind drifted back... He could almost hear his grandmother:
"Now, Wool, why are your sisters again calling you 'black sheep'? I thought that stopped long ago? Remember when you were nine, you came crying to me that your sisters called you that, and I said, 'Don't you think Jacob considered it a good thing when his flocks from Laban's herds increased because the sheep and goats started having more black and speckled lambs which were specially set aside for him?' And I told you all about how I was called 'white crow' in Russia, and that both names just mean we are different and stand out as special?"
"Yes, Babushka...and that's when you started calling me 'Wool' and I started calling you 'Feathers' to remind us that we are special to God and each other... But now I have a big problem trying to get my family to understand me. I have flunked out of my first year at the Christian college my entire family attended. I feel God calling me into the ministry, but I know my path leads first to a secular university. I feel I need to be challenged in my faith, not coddled!"
"Wool, for this you need to consider the white crow, not the black sheep. A white crow stands out among his black brothers, and can attract much abuse; but in the snow, the white crow is safer than his black brothers because he can't be seen by enemies. At the Christian college, everyone is a white crow in the snow, safe from the world. At the secular university, you will be one white crow in the midst of darkness...and it won't be safe and it won't be easy, but your faith will grow!"

Most of us will agree there are a lot of ways to make fun of startups. The cliches are rampant: Trendy millennials partying long into the weekend after hard days playing foosball in the office. Macbooks and hoodies. Modern and simplistic office spaces where a vibrant color palette of black, grey and white reigns king.
So it is not all too surprising that someone would decide to create a startup-related comedy show to capitalize on these stereotypes.
That show is Berlin Startup Leaks and that someone is Christoph Sollich, also known as The Pitch Doctor.
As a 27-year-old expat in Berlin, who is just now venturing into the startup environment, there are stereotypes in the video that immediately resonate.
INT: Let's call it… a hipster cafe, complete with silver macbooks, succulents on the table, modern decor, colorless. Oh, and a bottle of what looks like Club Mate, with a label affixed to the front that says, "Your BRAND here!"
It looks like one of hundreds of cafes scattered about the city where there is a 70 per cent chance (fake statistic) you can walk in and find a freelancer, entrepreneur or documentary filmmaker hunched over a computer working. I'm feeling bold. Let's up that fake statistic to 85 per cent.
The shot continues with two men, which is also fitting because women founders account for little over 10 per cent of founders in Berlin (real statistic), sitting in front of their macbooks, typing, chatting and boasting about deep data.
The theme continues through the video: Data. Data. Data. It is all about data. Possibly unintentionally clever as startups are enslaved by metrics? I can't quite tell and I don't wanna get too metta. That would mean I myself have succumbed into the startup world and can no longer be objective.
Man 1, or shaggy-haired man, goes on to say that deep data is a concept so revolutionary, so incredible that it hasn't even been seen in US startup hubs, like Silicon Alley or New York.
The great thing about this scene is that even I know it is more common for ideas to be adapted from the US and packaged for Germans than the other way around. Unless we're talking about digital tech. Is it funny? I'm not so sure.
He isn't convincing and just seems to be talking about it in order to brag and one-up man 2, or redheaded man, who is sitting next to him. Is this male macho rivalry or startup entrepreneurs networking at its finest? Who can tell? Is there even a difference? I smiled, but didn't laugh.
The awkward exchange continues with the shaggy-haired man asking the redheaded man if he's an investor or working for a startup. The redheaded man pauses and says, "I… I know Ashton Kutcher."
As a native English speaker, I had to laugh. Not because it was particularly funny that he claims to know the famous US actor, but because of the way Kutcher's name is pronounced: Cut-cher. Instead of Koot-cher. Again, I have no way of knowing if this is intentional or not, but the pronunciation is so German, I had to chuckle.
So in the first 37 seconds of the nearly seven minute video, Berlin Startup Leaks managed to touch on 60 per cent (fake statistic) of the cliches that startups face. At least in my opinion.
The video then cuts to two women sitting on a sofa talking about an intelligent handheld blender, a recent startup venture that is bound to fail. Who needs a blender that sends data to an iphone? Clever.
The rest of the video goes on to touch other cliches: Ageism, co-working spaces, obsession with logos. They circle kick back to Ashton Kutcher: A joke about how everybody knows at least one person who knows him.
It drags on a bit, because let's be honest, poking fun at startups is low-hanging fruit.
This makes it hard for me to see how this video series will develop past the first four episodes, because before long won't they be repackaging and rehashing the same cliches we already know? Or am I missing something… Is that the appeal? Is that creative?
The next episode comes out on Tuesday, November 8 and I have to admit that I am curious as to how they'll attempt to humour us with this next one. I am skeptical it can be done.

Safety hazards are everywhere and constantly evolving. As such, organizations must be vigilant in protecting their workers and the supply chain by extension, especially when the seasons change. Employees on the same worksite for prolonged periods can become complacent and not realize how the environment changes as colder weather affects the area. Suddenly, pools of water left standing become dangerous slipping hazards, and the wrong protective clothing could lead to frostbite or hypothermia. During this winter season, here are a few measures companies can take to reduce risk.
Monitor Weather Reports: Regardless of industry, ensuring your workers avoid severe weather is one of the best ways to prevent an injury or a supply chain disruption. Knowing what weather is going to affect a worksite or a travel route can give you insight in scheduling shifts or directing cargo in alternative ways.
Limit Exposure to Severe Elements: Whenever possible, minimize the amount of time workers have to endure severe temperatures. Consider scheduling multiple different shifts to complete one large task so that one group doesn't have to suffer the entire ordeal. Also consider breaking up large tasks into smaller tasks.
Warm the Break Area: It seems obvious but bears mentioning that the break area should be properly heated to ensure that workers always have a place to get warm. When heaters are employed, make sure that proper safety procedures are followed, because a fire can be just as deadly as severe cold.
Mandate Protective Clothing: A safety requirement during winter should be that employees all wear appropriate clothing that will protect them from the cold. This can include heavy boots, gloves, and head cover. Non-slip soles are also a good idea depending on the worksite.
Clear Snow and Ice: Snow and ice are relentless hazards in some areas during winter, but they must be cleared every day before work begins. Snow can impede work, and ice is a slipping hazard that is difficult to identify. Salt or sand down the worksite as needed.
Avoid Caffeine: Most workers will naturally gravitate to coffee during cold months if only because that is what they are used to drinking during the rest of the year. And, more obviously, coffee is warm. The danger, however, is that caffeine can elevate heart rates and give drinkers a false sense of warmth. This can lead to frostbite and other dangers.
Prepare Vehicles for Winter: Machinery is designed to function within a temperature range. When the weather pushes temperature to the extremes, that's when vehicles break down. And unlike hot months, severe cold months can make it difficult to reach stranded workers in vehicles. Make sure every vehicle is inspected for working condition, and that they are outfitted with emergency supplies, like food, blankets, flares, shovels, scrapers, and more.
Provide Winter Safety Training: Safety training should be an ongoing practice for any jobsite, but it should be adjusted as the hazards evolve with the weather. Employees should be taught what to do when stranded and how to recognize hypothermia and frostbite symptoms. In these cases, the affected workers should seek medical attention immediately.

Mortgage rates were up modestly this week, with the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rate rising to a 2015 high water mark of 3.9 percent. The average 15-year fixed mortgage rate increased to 3.17 percent, while the larger jumbo 30-year fixed mortgage hit a two-month high of 4.1 percent.
Adjustable rate mortgages moved higher also, with the five-year adjustable jumping to 3.32 percent and the seven-year ARM bouncing higher to 3.51 percent. These are also the highest levels seen thus far in 2015.
Mortgage rates broke out this week after an extended period of calm, boosted by positive economic data and a surprisingly strong monthly employment report. Job growth, in particular, has surged significantly in recent months, enough to bring forward expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike as early as the June meeting. It was these prospects for higher rates that helped push mortgage rates up over the past week.
Not every lender charges the same rate, or fees, so in order to get the best deal, you will need to shop around. (source: Bankrate.com)

Selling oneself that falsely promotes self success (January 28 2011)Jan 28
Angelo Bagnasco the 67 year old Italian Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church and president of the Italian Bishops' Conference a known conservative has criticized Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi who stands accused of paying for sex with prostitutes including an under-age dancer. Berlusconi denies having done anything wrong, while refusing to attend before prosecutors to answer questions related to his embroilment in the sex scandal. Bagnasco while not naming Berlusconi directly, stated that whoever accepts a public position must understand the sobriety, personal discipline, sense of measure and honour that come with it. Less formally he deplored the cunningness, social climbing, showing off and selling oneself that falsely promotes self success.

The High School Football Season concluded over the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend with the Show-Me Bowl in St. Louis.
In all, seven teams were crowned state champs in their respective classes.
The first game to kick off the slate of games Friday morning at the Edward Jones Dome was the 8-man Championship which saw the North Andrew Cardinals defeat the Stanberry Bulldogs 16-13. That would be the closest game of the state finals.
Up next was the Class 4 contest. The Webb City Cardinals defeated the Helias Catholic Crusaders by a score of 28-14.
The next game was between Class 2 teams, the Lamar Tigers and Lawson Cardinals. Lamar claimed another state title by taking out Lawson, 42-0.
Friday evening saw the Blue Springs Wildcats defeat the Rock Bridge Bruins 35-14 for the Class 6 Championship.
On Saturday the battles for Classes, 3, 1 and 5 were determined.
The morning contest was Maryville and Seneca battling for the Class 3 title. The Maryville Spoofhounds had little trouble from the Seneca Indians in a 50-28 rout.
Game 2 was for the Class 1 Title which went to the Valle Catholic Warriors who defeated the Marceline Tigers in a 41-0 shutout.
The final contest of the weekend was a battle for Class 5 Champion. That contest was not a close one as the Lee's Summit West Titans handled Parkway Central, 51-14.
Congratulations to all the State Champions from KMZU Sports!

Nortifen is the local analog (generic) of more famous drug Zaditor that has the same active substance (ingredient) and in result the same therapeutic effect. The main difference is that Nortifen is registered by a small local pharmaceutical company. The presence of the same active substance guarantees an identical pharmaceutical (therapeutic) effect on the body.
It is possible to buy Nortifen only in the pharmacies of the country where it is produced. With us, you can buy its more famous analog Zaditor, which is approved by the FDA and is sold worldwide. The same active substance guarantees the identity of the drugs and the identity of the pharmaceutical properties (they have only different names and packaging, in which they are sold).

Nortifen (Ketotifen) is an antihistamine that inhibits the body's release of a chemical called histamine. Histamine can produce allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes.
Ketotifen ophthalmic is used to treat itching of the eyes caused by allergy to dust, pollen, animals, or other allergens.
Ketotifen ophthalmic may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts, or use it for longer than recommended.
Wash your hands before using the eye drops.
If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying ketotifen ophthalmic. This medication may contain a preservative (benzalkonium chloride) that may cause discoloration of contact lenses.
To apply the eye drops:
Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid. Hold the dropper above the eye with the dropper tip down. Look up and away from the dropper as you squeeze out a drop, then close your eye. Gently press your finger to the inside corner of the eye (near your nose) for about 1 minute to keep the liquid from draining into your tear duct. If you use more than one drop in the same eye, wait about 5 minutes before putting in the next drop.
Do not allow the dropper tip to touch any surface, including the eyes or hands. If the dropper becomes contaminated it could cause an infection in your eye, which can lead to vision loss or serious damage to the eye.
After using the eyedrops, wait at least 10 minutes before putting contact lenses into your eyes.
Do not use the eye drops if the liquid has changed colors or has particles in it. Call your doctor for a new prescription. Store the drops at room temperature away from heat and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as it has been prescribed by your doctor.
If you miss a dose of Nortifen, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.
Store Nortifen at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep in a tight, light-resistant container. Keep Nortifen out of the reach of children and away from pets.
Active Ingredient: Ketotifen (0.025%) (Antihistamine)
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to ketotifen, or if you have an untreated eye infection.
Do not use it if you you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement.
Ketotifen ophthalmic should not be used to treat eye irritation caused by wearing contact lenses.
FDA pregnancy category C. This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether ketotifen passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Do not use this medication in a child younger than 3 years old without the advice of a doctor.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using ketotifen ophthalmic and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
redness, drainage, eyelid swelling, or other signs of infection;
eye pain;
vision changes; or
severe itching of the eyes worse than before using the medication.
Less serious side effects may include:
mild burning, stinging, or eye irritation;
dryness of the eyes; or
increased sensitivity to light.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor or health care provider about any unusual or bothersome side effect.

Air pollution affects everyone. Every day the average adult breathes over 3,000 gallons of air. Children breathe even more air per pound of body weight and are thus more susceptible to air pollution. Arkansas is one of a handful of states in the country that consistently meets all federal air quality standards for criteria pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, particulates, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and lead. Areas of larger population typically have higher concentrations of ambient air pollutants. Sources that discharge emissions include motor vehicles, coal power generation, concentrated industries and fires, whether prescribed or wild.
Atmospheric gases consist of the major constant components (nitrogen 78%, oxygen 20.95%) and the highly variable components or trace gases (argon 0.93%, carbon dioxide 0.04%, water vapor 1%, other trace gases <0.08%). It is the trace gases that impact our health and welfare. In addition to trace gases, particulate matter is another major component that affects human health.
Even agricultural production can contribute to poor air quality.
Problems associated with odor tend to be locally highlighted nuisances, while certain gaseous compounds, such as ammonia, can have a local or regional impact. Greenhouse gases tend to have global concerns, gaining increased attention from the general public.

HOST: SEforALL Building Efficiency Accelerator
In 2016, 23 cities worked with the Building Efficiency Accelerator (BEA) to formulate building efficiency policy commitments, demonstration projects and tracking approaches. These cities now need financing and private sector engagement to bring their commitments to fruition. This session will see a number of City leaders pitch project proposals to financial institutional leaders with finance mechanisms that could be leveraged by cities or building owners seeking investments in building efficiency. The ensuing dialogue will aim to identify gaps and opportunities for the BEA and partners to assist cities with additional project preparation to help the city projects become investor ready.

It was Dog Day at our local aquatic center–the last use of the pool before it's closed for the winter and cleaned and prepped for 2019.
Canine joy all around.
Celebrating the power of procrastination
Not in order of completion…
Exploring another feature of the iPhone/iPad app Clips.
And a visit to nearby Avery Park for breakfast and cruising the rose garden…
And there's the undying need to bake. This time: blueberry-cinnamon coffee cake
Photo to follow? We'll see…
We liked the name 'Milo' from our previous searches, so 'Haswell' became 'Milo' today.
He had no problem taking the reins of jumping into the front seat. Uhhhh, no.
But he's fitting in nicely. Lots of energy and seems happy with our backyard and likes to do errands.
An added bonus to assisting others…
I helped the owner of an over-the-fence rental locate her property's water shut-off valve. Maybe this is a side hustle I need to explore.
Milo the One-Eyed Dog…an update. No sooner had the vet cleared him for adoption than he was snapped up by someone else. Hey, as long as he's cared for in a loving home, that's good with us.
We met Milo yesterday.
He's a true survivor.
A sweetheart transfer [not an official term ;->] from Maui, within a week's time, he had his eye removed [optic nerve had failed], he was neutered, and he withstood and actually just shrugged off an injury from a vicious attack from another dog at the facility.
He needs to be at the shelter for another post-surgical week, but how can a life like this not burrow its way into one's heart?
Milo the One-Eyed Dog…
Seems like he needs a good family of dog lovers…dog-obsessors, even.
I have no idea where I could find anyone like that, assuming I avoid looking in the mirror.
Photos from Heartland Humane Society
Yep, once he/she arrives, there will probably be umpteen 'I should be writing' opps.
We lost Boo over a year ago and I usually need more healing time, but as the years progress, I realize I can't be dawdling on this. I want a dog's spirit, loyalty, and companionship in the house. Not to mention the entertainment value.
Note: My wife is actually spending more time on the local shelters' websites than I am. Perhaps, just perhaps, it's harder to live with a dogless me. 😉
I was going to launch a mini-rant against technology this afternoon [Safari and WordPress weren't playing nicely], but I redirected toward wholesomeness. And comfort. And calories.
After all, frustrated writers don't rant; they bake.
In my case, blueberry muffins. A new recipe. A simple one, since I just wanted something straightforward so we could squeeze in a little afternoon coffee. Never mind that the temps outside are in the high 90's. When the need for 'fresh-baked' arises, I spring to action. [Well, not exactly 'spring'. That would imply flexibility…agility…youth.]
Breaking news from the kitchen–[Hey, if CNN can do this 24/7, so can I.]…They're halfway done and they've already earned the 'They smell goood' pronouncement from my wife and they look like they'll turn out 'normal'—a relative term in my kitchen.
What constitutes 'normal'?
These muffins [here's the recipe] will form fit to the muffin tin. That's about it. Anything less than that, I add the word 'mutant' to the title.
Today, three of these little hummers are traditional, I've added a sweet ginger jam to two of them, and one of them has nary a blueberry. [Yes, a blatantly forced rhyme.] I populated it with '60% cocoa' chocolate chips. My wife…ever so subtle. When muffin fixins emerge, you can bet she'll saunter by and plop some usable form of chocolate onto the counter.
Let's start with the good news– a recipe I've relied on for a decade.
This is my chocolate chip-studded version of Alice Medrich's Best Cocoa Brownies. These babies are uncooked and darned if I forgot to take a photo this morning before they [and their counterpart batch with walnuts] headed over to a staff celebration.
But the serious 'dark' should tell you anybody eating these might well liken them to a candy bar. [Only a half-cup flour is needed.]
The kitchen gods–whose voices sound oddly like my wife's– are beckoning me to whip up another tray–one that won't leave the premises.
And now, for a venture into the land of culinary unintended consequences…
There in the fridge sat a bowl leftover red beans and a bowl of cooked quinoa.
Hey! Why not doctor them up with a caramelized onion, sun-dried tomatoes from the jar, and some paprika, granulated garlic, and chili powder and make veggie-burgers? I've had good luck with this combination in the past, so why not?
Aaaand you're wondering where the recipe is. Me too.
I did a short consultation online, but paid as much attention to the recipe as I did to the cranked-up food processor.
So…burgers? Malleable patties out of this glop? Not a chance.
But…refried beans? Absolutely. In fact, the best I've tasted in years.
All due to my lapse into 'kitchen shlub-hood'.
Nice save, T.

Gold: Elaine Thompson (Jamaica)
Silver: Tori Bowie (United States)
Bronze: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (Jamaica)
Elaine Thompson, 24, edged U.S. sprinter Tori Bowie and fellow Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to claim the Olympic 100m gold medal.
It was the third Olympic 100m medal for Fraser-Pryce. Fellow Jamaican Merlene Ottey is the only other woman with three Olympic 100m medals.
The first round of the men's 100 was held earlier on Saturday. Justin Gatlin clocked 10.01 seconds, the fastest time of the first round, to win his heat by .19 seconds. Usain Bolt won his heat in 10.07 seconds. The men's 100m semifinal and finals will both take place Sunday night.
