Nutritional Info
This caterpillar, made by arranging cupcakes in a curve, makes a memorable arrangement for a baby's first birthday. One jumbo cupcake is used for the head, and more standard cupcakes make up the body.
2 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (2 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
15 ounces fondant
Gel-paste food colors (green, yellow, light blue, and red are pictured)
Cornstarch, for dusting
Swiss Meringue Buttercream for Cupcakes
2 mini candy canes (or substitute licorice sticks or pretzel sticks)
Make cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 28 cups of standard muffin tins and 1 cup of a jumbo muffin tin with paper liners. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Add brown sugar, and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until well incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Mix in sour cream. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of buttermilk, and mixing until just combined after each.
Divide batter evenly among prepared cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until tops are firm to the touch and a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool completely before removing cupcakes. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
Decorate cupcakes: Tint fondant with green gel-paste food color, and roll out to 1/8 inch thick on a work surface lightly dusted with cornstarch. Using cookie cutters, cut out one 4 1/2-inch round and twelve 3 3/4-inch rounds. Divide 2 cups buttercream into two bowls; tint half yellow and half pale blue with gel-paste food colors. Transfer to pastry bags fitted with small plain tips (No. 3). Tint 1/4 cup buttercream red; transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a fine plain tip (No. 1). Spread cupcakes with a thin layer of plain buttercream, and transfer remaining untinted buttercream to a pastry bag fitted with another small plain tip (No. 2). Place a fondant round on top of each cupcake, pressing gently to adhere, and mold to fit smoothly.
To make the head, pipe two yellow dots for the eyes on top of jumbo cupcake, then pipe tiny white dots for pupils. Using a skewer or toothpick, poke two holes above eyes, and insert mini candy canes into holes for antennae. Use red buttercream to pipe the mouth. Pipe dots all over other half of cupcake, alternating between yellow and pale-blue buttercreams. Continue to pipe yellow and blue dots all over remaining cupcakes, then pipe tiny white dots on top of each. Refrigerate 30 minutes to allow frosting to set. Cupcakes can be stored up to 1 day at room temperature in airtight containers.
Arrange 12 standard cupcakes side by side in a curving line, with the jumbo cupcake at the front. Serve remaining cupcakes as desired.

Kevin Federline Films One Tree While Britney's in Court
Federline spends time in North Carolina working on his TV guest spot
As Britney Spears faced the judge in her kids' custody hearing on Thursday – winning a small victory by gaining supervised overnight visitation rights – her ex-husband Kevin Federline spent time shooting scenes in Wilmington, N.C., for episode seven of his guest spot on One Tree Hill.
Later Thursday night, Federline arrived at a club called The Liquid Room in downtown Wilmington, where he partied like a rock star in the VIP area, ordering up rounds.
"He's drinking Jack and Coke and Patrén. That's all he drinks," a cocktail waitress told PEOPLE.
When the deejay spun his ex-wife's new song, all eyes darted to Federline, clad in a white T-shirt and jeans and wearing noticeable bling. "When 'Gimme More' came on, I looked at him, and he didn't have any reaction. He wasn't dancing," said a reveler in the club.
One observer said the VIP area is normally very quiet, "but when K-Fed is there, he brings the whole posse."
As for how Federline enjoyed himself, "He seemed happy. He seemed like he was having fun – he wasn't upset," she said.
Federline and his mini-entourage stayed until after the club closed at 2 a.m.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb. 2, 2017) - Goldmoney Inc. (TSX:XAU) (the "Company"), a financial technology company and operator of a global gold-based financial network, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2016. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
Third Quarter Financial Highlights
Third Quarter Operational Highlights
The Company made several key advancements following the close of the third quarter:
Goldmoney Network Discussion
"We continue to to advance gold ownership and increase client engagement by continually improving the Goldmoney Network user experience and leveraging our innovative technology stack to deliver new services and capabilities that make it easier, safer, and more convenient for individuals and businesses to safeguard their wealth and improve their financial positions," said Darrell MacMullin, CEO, Goldmoney Network. "We are proud of what we accomplished this past quarter and of the entire Goldmoney team for working tirelessly to reinvent financial solutions for our users. We continued to add new Personal and Business users in Q3 2017, accelerating growth in Network activity, and the enhanced value provided by the new products we introduced to the Network has set us up to further expand our offerings and forge strategic partnerships across the ecosystem."
Q3 2017 Goldmoney Network Highlights
Goldmoney Wealth Discussion
Goldmoney Wealth continued to see an uptick in business activity with revenues of $76 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2016 vs. $67.6 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2015. The Company guides that Wealth revenues should be analyzed over the long-term and that quarterly figures disguise seasonality in the 16-year-old business (the Wealth business also saw a dip in revenues in Q3 2016).
The Company continued to see growth in client assets as measured by weight and client activity on the Wealth platform. The rollout of the refreshed user interface was welcomed by Wealth clients, as was the connection between Network and Wealth. This is in line with the overall business strategy of creating a relationship between Goldmoney Network and Wealth; users with more than 1,000 GAU are now encouraged to apply for a Wealth Holding, through which they receive enhanced client service, a dedicated Relationship Manager, and access to additional account features.
The Wealth business was also enhanced by the addition of real-time reporting for Goldmoney Mastercard Prepaid cards and the complimentary Goldmoney Concierge service, which enables Wealth clients with Full Holdings to make luxury travel, dining, and entertainment arrangements assisted by dedicated lifestyle management specialists.
Financial Discussion and Highlights
The Company held $9.4 million in precious metals at December 31, 2016; however, it offset the risk of precious metal price movement through activities in its investment account. The Company benefited from this strategy, recognizing an investment gain which offsets declines in precious metal prices for the quarter.
The Company takes a long-term view towards foreign currency; internally, it measures the earnings power of the business in currency-neutral GAU. This view allows management to disregard short-term movements in foreign currencies, such as the movement of GBP against CAD, which contributed to unfavourable balance sheet movements this quarter. Management did not choose to directly hedge against CAD, our reporting currency.
With 47 days of Schiff Gold operations, this quarter is the first to include consolidated results from the Schiff Gold business. Despite the slower holiday period, Schiff Gold still produced $13.5 million in revenue and $37,029 in distributable free cash flow to the group.
"The Company made strategic investments to enhance Goldmoney products and services for users and clients in Q3 2017, including the launch of Goldmoney Maximizer, Shariah compliance, and the addition of the Royal Canadian Mint as a vault provider, while continuing to employ cost rationalization and integration efforts across all segments of the business," said Katie Sokalsky, outgoing CFO of Goldmoney Inc. "These build outs required significant investment in upfront legal and infrastructure expenditures, which are not expected to occur on an ongoing basis. The Company has remained disciplined with day-to-day operating costs, allowing for strategic use of capital; even with additional investments in Q3 2017, the Company showed strong improvements in Gross Profit, Non-IFRS Adjusted Loss, and Non-IFRS Cash Loss - important measures that indicate the true cash outlay of the business."

Goldmoney Group Discussion
"The group continued to build out long-term infrastructure for a global gold-based financial institution this quarter; we remain focused on the long-term returns with several initiatives and projects that will reduce friction, innovate, educate, and market to our existing and growing base of clients. As owner-managers, we fuel this activity through disciplined capital allocation and a sense of prudence, which is required as fiduciaries of nearly $2 billion of precious metal assets," said Roy Sebag, CEO of Goldmoney Inc. "While it's been less than two years since we launched the Goldmoney Network as BitGold, the predecessor for the Goldmoney group, we now sit in an enviable position with a growing and diversified income stream from savings, transfers, physical trading, and cards - all of which are translatable into distributable earnings at our choosing."
The decision to reinvest in growth, technology, and market and business development is guided by the group's belief that it gains more in long-term distributable earnings power than it loses in the outflow of investment capital expenditures. Should that view change, the group will focus on more sustainable capital expenditures and a return of capital to investors.
"It is my belief that up to 70% of our operating expenditures can be reduced under such scenario and it is how I personally analyze the results of the business as the single largest shareholder of the group," Sebag said. "Such a reduction would free up significant distributable earnings that are, in our case, effectively similar to a precious metal royalty stream."
"We continue to invest in new projects and expect to unveil details about at least one new subsidiary we have been developing with our existing technology, supply chain, and expertise in retail marketing and distribution channels by Q2 2018. While these new investments and subsidiaries will continue to be focused on the retail gold sector, they will increasingly move into products with higher margin potential while expanding on our original mission of broadening access to physical gold," said Josh Crumb, chief strategy officer and incoming CFO of Goldmoney Inc.
"In addition to ongoing investments in our core retail gold products and distribution, we also initiated new projects in gold supply chain and started on product enhancements to utilize the Goldmoney Network in enterprise partnerships. We're currently ramping up investments in B2B applications for the Goldmoney technology, and expect to reveal more about our institutional projects and partnerships over the next three to six months."
The selected financial information included in this release is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read together with, the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2016, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and corresponding management's discussion and analysis, which are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Non-IFRS Measures
This news release contains non-IFRS financial measures; the Company believes that these measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of its business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating its business. Although management believes these financial measures are important in evaluating the Company's performance, they are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures used by other companies. For certain non-IFRS financial measures, there are no directly comparable amounts under IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance determined in accordance with IFRS. Moreover, presentation of certain of these measures is provided for year-over-year comparison purposes, and investors should be cautioned that the effect of the adjustments thereto provided herein have an actual effect on the Company's operating results.
Non-IFRS Adjusted Loss is a non IFRS financial measure. This figure excludes from comprehensive loss the impact of the following amounts: (i) any gains or losses on precious metals inventory, (ii) non-cash items, including the amortization of intangible assets or stock based compensation, (iii) the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses, and (iv) unrealized gains or losses on investments held for sale. Refer to the MD&A for a detailed breakdown of these items.
Non-IFRS Cash Loss is a non IFRS financial measure. This figure excludes from comprehensive loss the impact of non-cash items, including the amortization of intangible assets or stock based compensation. Refer to the MD&A for a detailed breakdown of these items.
Liquidity position is a non-IFRS measure. This figure excludes from total assets (i) prepaids and other assets, (ii) property and equipment, (iii) intangibles, and (iv) goodwill, and is useful to demonstrate the liquid net assets the company has on hand to meet current and future obligations.
For a full reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures used herein to their nearest IFRS equivalents, please see the section entitled "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures" in the Company's management's discussion and analysis for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

July 4th celebrates Freedom.
But from what or who?
Uploaded by MarkDice on Jun 30, 2011
Mark Dice talks with beachgoers in San Diego, California to ask them why the 4th of July holiday was started. Many of them have no clue at all and simply agree with him when he insinuates blatantly false explanations. Check out Mark's new book Big Brother: The Orwellian Nightmare Come True on Amazon.com, Kindle or Barnes and Noble's Nook e-reader.
Mark Dice is a media analyst, social critic, political activist, and author who, in an entertaining and educational way, gets people to question our celebrity obsessed culture, and the role the mainstream media plays in shaping our lives.
Mark frequently stirs up controversy from his commentaries, protests, and boycotts, and has repeatedly been featured in major media outlets around the world.
Several of Mark's YouTube videos have went viral, earning him a mention on ABC's The View, Fox News' O'Reilly Factor, TMZ.com, and other mainstream media outlets. Mark has also been featured in (or attacked in) the New York Post's Page Six, Rolling Stone Magazine, USA Today, The New York Daily News, and in major papers in Pakistan and Iran.
Mark Dice appears in several documentary films including Invisible Empire, and The 9/11 Chronicles, and was featured on the History Channel's Decoded. He enjoys enlightening zombies, as he calls them, (ignorant people) about the mass media's effect on our culture, pointing out Big Brother's prying eyes, and exposing elite secret societies along with scumbag politicians and their corrupt political agendas.
He also habitually calls into several top-rated talk shows, including the Sean Hannity Show, Glenn Beck, and Michael Savage, and verbally battles with the hosts on various issues since he has never been asked to be a guest on them as of yet. Audio of some of these calls are then posted online.
The term "fighting the New World Order" is used by Mark to describe some of his activities, and refers to his and others' resistance and opposition (The Resistance) to the overall system of political corruption, illegal wars, elite secret societies, mainstream media, Big Brother and privacy issues; as well as various economic and social issues.
Dice and his supporters sometimes refer to being "awake" or "enlightened" and see their knowledge of these topics as part of their own personal Resistance to the corrupt New World Order. This Resistance involves self-improvement, self-sufficiency, personal responsibility and spiritual growth.
Mark Dice is the author of several books on current events, secret societies and conspiracies, including his newest book, Big Brother: The Orwellian Nightmare Come True. He lives in San Diego, California.

Today is Flag Day for the United States America. Flag Day officially occurs each year on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened on that day in 1777. June 14th is also the birthday of the United States Army. Happy birthday! Hoo-ah!
Proper care of a U.S. flag is of utmost importance. For those of you who fly a flag you might not be aware that there is actually a formal way to properly retire and dispose of an old and worn flag. I will discuss what the Ripley family does for this procedure. There are several options, including bringing your old flag to a local American Legion or VFW office. However, we choose to burn the flag in our back yard. Any of these ways are valid.
We start by buying a high quality flag which will last for a year before it really starts to show signs of being worn and ready for disposal. On Flag Day (June 14th) we dispose of last year's flag. I picked this date, because it's a great time to explain the importance of the flag to the children, and we can do so while going through our family ceremony.
Here's our personal retirement ceremony in a nutshell:
1. While the flag is still hanging, call the group to attention, salute, place your hand over your heart, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States (originally composed by Francis Bellamy in 1892)
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
2. The leader says, "This flag has served its nation and our family well. It is worn to a condition which is not fit to be used to represent the United States of America. We are grateful for its symbolizing our great nation and we pay honor to this flag for the service it has rendered. We will now fold and dispose of this flag."
3. Take the flag down and then properly fold it.
4. Move to the prepared fire and everyone salutes the flag one last time. The group holds their salute until the leader places it on the fire and then they all finish the salute with the leader's final salute. The group remains standing reverently until the flag is completely consumed.
May you have a wonderful Flag Day!
-Vaughn "the patriot" Ripley

The first of thousands of DePuy ASR hip lawsuit (http://www.depuy-asr-hip-recall.com/) claims pending in a federal multidistrict litigation underway in U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio, will head to trial on September 9, 2013, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. Court documents indicate that nearly 8,000 DePuy ASR recall claims are pending in the federal proceeding. The case set for trial on Monday was filed on behalf of a Rochester, New York, woman who received her ASR hip implant on August. 24, 2009, and underwent revision surgery on January 17, 2011. Last month, her attorneys identified 95 potential witnesses that could be called to testify on her behalf. (McCracken v. DePuy Orthopaedics Inc., et al., No. 1:11-dp-20485)
"Our Firm is representing hundreds of clients in DePuy ASR lawsuits pending in this litigation, and we look forward to the start of this trial. Its outcome could provide valuable clues as to how juries might weigh evidence in similar DePuy ASR recall claims," says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing the victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm continues to offer free legal evaluations to anyone who suffered serious complications allegedly associated with devices included in the DePuy ASR recall.
DePuy ASR Recall
According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the DePuy ASR recall was announced after data from a United Kingdom hip registry indicated that the 5-year revision rates associated with the metal-on-metal hip implants were unacceptably high. Court records indicate that since the devices were pulled from the market, more than 11,000 DePuy ASR hip lawsuits have been filed in courts throughout the U.S. In addition to the federal litigation, DePuy ASR recall trials are also expected to get underway this fall in several state proceedings, including one that is to begin on October 15th in California Superior Court. (DePuy ASR HIP System Cases, No. CJC-10-004649; Calif. Super. Ct., San Francisco Cty.) A consolidated litigation underway in New Jersey Superior Court has scheduled its first DePuy ASR recall trial for October 21st. (In Re DePuy ASR Hip Implants Litigation, BER-L-3971-11)
Elsewhere, two DePuy ASR lawsuits have already gone to trial in state court. In March, a plaintiff was awarded more than $8 million after a Los Angeles Superior Court jury found that the hip implant was defectively designed. (Kransky v. DePuy, BC456086, California Superior Court, Los Angeles County) However, a jury in Chicago found for Johnson & Johnson in a second trial just one month later. (Strum v. DePuy, 2011-L-9352, Circuit Court
of Cook County)
Individuals affected by the DePuy ASR recall who allegedly experienced metallosis, premature device failure or other complications may be entitled to compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Way to go with the response Aamito-bravo!
We don't feed (or direct you to) the trolls here at ThandieKay, we prefer to encourage who and what we love, fuelling the positive rather than echoing the negative so I'm choosing the positive thing about the clickbating storm in an IG cup over Aamito's beautifully posted pout at the Ohne Titel AW16 in NYC last week. That's as much as I'll mention about that-I'm busy being FAR too inspired by this lip colour, M.A.C. Matte Royal
Proving that the beauty force is with her, Kenyan-born actress Lupita Nyong'o rocked – and we mean seriously rocked – what her fearless make-up artist, Nick Barose, described as "metallic galactic blue lips" at the UK premiere of Star Wars.
Lupita is no stranger to bold and modern looks on the red carpet (here I talked about her emerald-green eyes for BAFTA awards 2014).
This chromed-shade was a creative concoction that Nick had uniquely mastered himself.
I got the low down from Nick that night as I was there working on Star Wars star Daisy Ridley so look out for an interview Q&A with Nick we'll be posting soon. He shares… the secrets to blue lips and other make-up tricks.
…to say the least. Positively Scene-stealing.
If you fancy being bold and trying M.A.C. Matte Royal, it has a strong purple hue coupled with cool undertones and a satin finish.

Health Nuts: Eating Nuts May Be Healthful
You are what you eat. You may think you're a health nut—you eat whole grains and plenty of fruits and vegetables. But if you avoid nuts because they're high in fat, you may not be as healthy as you can be. Nuts have traditionally received a bad rap for their high-fat, and therefore high-calorie content, especially from people watching their weight. But recent research reveals many reasons to include nuts in your diet—one of which is the very fat that made you avoid them!
Get Your Nut Nutrition
Nuts contain mostly "good," unsaturated fat—the type that is believed to help improve heart health. Most Americans consume too much "bad," saturated fat, which is found mostly in meats and high-fat dairy products. Research has shown that reducing saturated fat and increasing unsaturated fat can lower "bad" LDL ]]>cholesterol]]> levels. One study published in the Lancet indicated that a diet including unsaturated fats from almonds and walnuts (in addition to whole grains, fruits, and vegetables) may lower cholesterol levels to a greater degree than the traditional, cholesterol-lowering National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) step I diet.
There are two types of unsaturated fat: monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. Nuts contain both types of unsaturated fat and only small amounts of saturated fat, in varying amounts depending on the type of nut. Some research suggests that one type of polyunsaturated fat, called omega-3 fatty acids, may play a role in the prevention of chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and arthritis. Most Americans need to increase their intakes of these healthful fatty acids. Walnuts and almonds contain omega-3 fatty acids.
Source: USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 13
*Someone following a 2,000 calorie diet should average a maximum of 67 grams of fat per day.
¤ Someone following a 2,000 calorie diet should average a maximum of 22 grams of saturated fat per day.
× Someone following a 2,000 calorie diet should average a maximum of 45 grams of unsaturated fat per day.
In addition to fat, nuts contain many other important nutrients.
Nuts are a great source of protein and unusually rich in one amino acid (a building-block of protein) called arginine, which may also be linked to heart health benefits. Arginine widens and relaxes blood vessels; this, in turn, may reduce the danger of blood clots that can lead to heart attacks]]> .
Vitamin E
Pecans, walnuts, and almonds are rich in vitamin E, which is an antioxidant that is important for normal development of nerves and cells in the lungs and blood. Researchers at Tufts University have found that vitamin E may also play a role in keeping the immune system strong as we age. Some studies have shown that vitamin E may lower the risk of heart disease, too, although studies have been conflicting.
Specific Nutrients in Specific Nuts
Almonds contain 8% of the daily value of calcium, which is the amount in about one-third of a cup of milk.
Brazil nuts contain about 210 times the amount of selenium found in other nuts; selenium may help protect against cancer according to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition .
Some nuts, such as hazelnuts and walnuts, contain 8% of the daily value of folate, which is a B vitamin that protects against birth defects and may also protect against cancer and heart disease.
Other Benefits
Peanuts contain plant sterols, or phytosterols, which have been shown to reduce cholesterol levels, and have been used in margarine-like spreads, such as Benecol.
Some nuts, including peanuts, also contain the substance resveratrol—the same compound found in red wine—which has been shown to lower heart disease risk.
In a nutshell, the table below summarizes the nutrient contents of several types of tree nuts and peanuts. (While similar in nutrient content and usage to tree nuts, peanuts are actually legumes, which grow underground).
Learn About Other Nutrients in a One-Ounce Serving of Nuts
Source: USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 13
¤ Someone following a 2,000 calorie diet should consume approximately 60 to 75 grams of protein per day.
× Someone following a 2,000 calorie diet should consume 25 grams of fiber per day. A high fiber food has at least three grams of fiber per serving.
* Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
Make Room for Nuts
Of course, while nuts have many benefits, you still need to make room for them in your diet by cutting down on calories from other foods or drinks. Check out these 10 foods and drinks you could skip today to make way for an ounce (a small handful) of nuts.
Each serving listed is approximately 180 calories, the amount in one ounce of nuts.
- 9 restaurant-style tortilla chips
- 1-½ chewy chocolate-chip granola bars
- 14 ounces of soda or beer
- 1 package of 6 cheese and crackers (found in vending machines)
- 1/3 cup ice cream
- 10 ounces of Fresh Samantha fruit juice smoothie (a little more than half the bottle)
- 18 Baked Lays (potato chips)
- ¾ of a package of plain M&M's
- Six ounces of a 10-ounce café mocha
- 1-¼ Nutri-Grain (cereal bar) strawberry
Get the Nuts and Bolts
Nuts are easy. They don't require cooking or preparing. They are portable and even found in vending machines. And they go well with everything from gourmet meals to beer.
- Add nuts to your morning meal.
- Make an easy batch of homemade granola bars with oats, cheerios, peanut butter, and dried fruit. Grab and go.
- Make your own trail mix with your favorite nuts, dried fruits (apricots, cranberries, raisins), and a higher fiber cereal (shredded wheat, Kashi Heart to Heart cereal, Cheerios, etc).
- Mix some nuts into your pasta dishes. Try adding walnuts to your pasta tossed with olive oil, fresh basil, and tomatoes. Also try using peanut butter as a sauce, tossed with penne pasta, roasted butternut squash, eggplant, and shallots.
- Add nuts to side dishes. Try brown rice, raisins, and hazelnuts. Or add pine nuts to your couscous with feta cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. Add almonds to your green beans, or hazelnuts to your sautéed spinach.
- Mix finely chopped nuts with an equal amount of seasoned breadcrumbs to coat your fish or chicken with flavor before baking, broiling, or grilling.
- Stir nuts into your stir-fry dishes. Cashews and peanuts also work well. Try adding some peanut butter to create a thicker stir-fry sauce.
- Add nuts to your favorite chicken salad recipe. Spice up your chicken salad with curry powder, grapes, and almonds. Or try chicken salad with apples and walnuts.
- Try whipping up an almond smoothie. Put a handful of nuts in a blender with some milk, ice, vanilla or almond extract, and a sweetener of your choice (maple syrup, honey, brown sugar, etc). Blend well. Make it thick, freeze it, and eat it like ice cream.
No-Bake Granola Bars
- 2½ cup cheerios, crushed
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats, uncooked
- ½ cup raisins or chopped apricots
- ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate morsels
Combine first 3 ingredients in large bowl; set aside. Bring brown sugar and honey to boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly; remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla until blended. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture, stirring until coated; let stand 10 minutes. Stir in chocolate morsels. Press mixture into a 13 x 9 inch pan; cool in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars; wrap individually with plastic wrap.

We Disappear
This morning I went downstairs to discover a little package from the lovely folks at Weepop. Said package contained the new Transmittens mini-album, a badge, a sweetie and a really lovingly designed envelope to hold the 3 inch CDR. It's nice to get something so delightful through the post, and I love it when a label puts such a lot of love and effort into what they do. With Weepop this extends to the bands, and Transmittens are no exception.
I mentioned that Transmittens had a new record, 'We Disappear' coming out a few posts ago, but now that I've actually recieved it, I think it definitely deserves a larger post and it's a good excuse to post the lovely looking artwork again.
What can I say about the record except that it's fantastic? It's really very short, 10 tracks and 20 minutes, but when has that impaired the quality of a record? I think A Smile and A Ribbon's first record was similarly short and similarly brilliant. Also when it's that short, it's a great excuse to put the record on again, like I'm just about to.
Music wise, where talking tinny, bouncy, happy keyboards and cute girl vocals for the most part, though there's some nice boy/girl vocal harmonies thrown in for good measure; this is especially evident on 'Summer won't End'. Every song is catchy as hell, and the keyboards helping to suck the listener in with more hooks then a Peter Pan convention. Elsewhere, 'Too Right To Sigh' carries a calypso feel, whilst the short but sweet 'Hot Dog Suit' is ridiculous and ridiculous lovely. As the aforementioned 'Summer won't End' may have led you to suspect, this album just vibrates with the feeling of hot days and long drinks. It'll be one to play over and over (and will sound fantastic) with friends in the park, or on summer lawns or in the car on the way to another festival. There's a slight sad and nostalgic feel to some of the songs too, just right to capture that wistful mood as the sun slowly fades and casts long shadows of dusk across a city park.
That said, there's no reason why you shouldn't be listening to it now. There's already been mention of albums of the year in indiepop circles (Standard Fare being the main one), but 'We Disappear' should definitely be up there. As I say I think it's a record a lot of people will be listening to for a large part of the year. Do yourself a favour and go and order it now. Oh and once again, if you missed my post from the other day, then you can listen to opening song from the record, on Weepop. I left the link at the top for you.

1- Tell us a little about your company (business organization) and what product or service you're marketing?
IgniterSpace is Sri Lanka's first established Makerspace for children. Our mission is to foster innovation & creativity in youth and children around the world. IgniterSpace has an unorthodox approach to education where we focus more on the passion, creative skills and learnability aspects of education rather than just the theoretical knowledge. The prime goal of IgniterSpace is to change the behavior and thinking of our future generations to make them more creative and innovation savvy.
IgniterSpace has expanded rapidly over the past 20 months of its existence. It has already served more than 24,000 maker sessions with for 1000+ students through our flagship makerspace programs, and another 600+ students free of charge through our corporate philanthropy program.
The following products are delivered by IgniterSpace as of now –
IgniterSpace MakerSpace Sessions: It is for kids of 5-15 years of age, to help them be more innovative and creative throughout the activities they engage within a makerspace environment. We have a planned and structured education model, raise with more than 1 year of extensive research, hands-on learning and real-world observations. Currently, there are 4 physical flagship makerspaces at Narahenpita, Negombo, Gampaha and Moratuwa in Sri Lanka.
IgniterBee MakerSpace-in-a-crate: Helps to facilitate the educational institutes to setup and operate Makerspaces. IgniterBee is a complete MakerSpace-in-a-crate offering that provides required tooling, software, syllabus, infrastructure, trainings etc. for the setup, and then service the makerspace with continuously with supply of craft material, tech components, activity packs and tooling.

Parents can subscribe at www.igniterbee.com to receive monthly packs to inspire student creativity. This is a global product offering open for the international market.
2- How is it different from your competitor's product/service?
We believe knowledge without skills is of no real use. In world where learning ability is significant than qualifications we try to make each session something new inspiring and remarkable for them. At each class students make a new creation, learning cross disciplinary concepts such as mechanics, electronics, robotics and computer programming. We educate them around design thinking principles such as observation, empathy, prototyping etc. Our activities are diverse and provide a wide learning experience to prepare them for the unknown tomorrow.
3- Tell us about your success and about the challenges you have tackled
The biggest challenge we had to face as an educational institute was to educate and make Sri Lanka's parents understand the maker's mindset. We want to foster innovation, free thinking and independent activity in children. Getting this concept to the society was the most important and challenging factor for us, having 1000+ children and 4 branches in operation we believe we are successfully meeting these limits.
Also we won the Aavishkar Impact Award and became the 1st runners up at Venture Engine 2017. We also became finalists at e-swabhimani 2017.
4- What is next for your organization?
The vision of IgniterSpace is to make creative education accessible to every child in the world. Currently our efforts are mainly on raising awareness around the need for a change in the education model. Currently IgniterSpace is well positioned to provide the global thought leadership on Maker education for children.
Following the trend, we expect more schools and communities to set up Makerspaces alongside with the libraries and other lab environments in near future. With the expertise and economies of scale IgniterBee Makerspace-in-a-crate offering will be more effective for creativity and cost efficient than setting up by their own. This is a large Market globally in the education space. Within a month into the launch, IgniterSpace already have few schools and NGOs as customers of MakerSpace-in-a-crate offering.
We expect 'IgniterBee Makerspace-in-a-crate' to reach global B2C market in a scale when more awareness is raised around the need for creative education.
The future role out plan of IgniterSpace is aligned criteria –
- Provide quality education
- Reduce Inequalities
- Inspire innovations
- Reduce Poverty
- Gender equality
- Encourage responsible consumption and production
- Partnership for goals

We do just that be tasting Petite Syrah for the first time. One of the panelists even creates a new descriptive term, and these two wines are so good, they caused …Read More »

Writing Disk Images¶
The pfSense® memstick images are meant to be written directly to a disk for use. This document covers how to write these image files to a target disk.
For the memstick images, this will be a USB thumb drive or similar to be used as an installer disk.
By choosing the wrong destination one of the system hard disks could be erased! Check and recheck the disk selection before writing an image!
pfSense image file must be downloaded from https://www.pfsense.org/download/ and available locally before starting.
The pfSense image has been verified by checking its sha256 hash and its signature.
Knowledge of the target drive letter or device node (e.g. E:, /dev/da1, /dev/sdb, /dev/disk2, etc)
Find platform from which the imaging will be performed and expand the section(s) for detailed instructions.
Cleaning The Target Disk (optional, but recommended)¶
Sometimes the target drive already has a partition and cannot be written properly. To get a fresh start, wipe all of the partitions from the disk. This can be done a few different ways in Windows or in UNIX.
The Disk Management interface in Windows is one way to delete the partitions from a disk but often it has the operation disabled. The simplest and most reliable method is to use diskpart.
Start a command prompt as Administrator
Run diskpart
Type list disk to show the disks connected to the system. One of them will be the target USB flash drive
Type select disk *n* where n is the disk number of the target USB flash drive from the list in the previous command output
Type clean to remove the partitions from the disk
The full diskpart session can be seen here:
The dd command is by far the easiest way to erase the disk's partition table:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdz bs=1M count=1
Writing Images in Windows¶
When using Windows we suggest the following GUI based applications:
Rufus Rufus is a simple but powerful utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks
Download Memstick pfSense image
Extract the .img file from the .gz archive first
Download Rufus from https://rufus.akeo.ie/
Select your USB under Device
Under "Create bootable disk using" click on CD-ROM icon
Select extracted pfSense .img that you downloaded as described above
Click Start and wait for image to be copied to USB.
Image Writer for Windows / Win32 Disk Imager¶
Image Writer for Windows, also known as Win32 Disk Imager is a Free and easy-to-use program to write disk images in Windows. It also only lists removable drives in its GUI which prevents accidentally overwriting a permanent disk.
This program can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
First, decompress the image using the easy/free decompression utility: 7-zip - http://www.7-zip.org/
Install 7-zip if it is not already present on the system
Right click the img.gz file
Click 7-zip
Click Extract Here
Then, write the image
Download and install Win32 Disk Imager from https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ if it is not already present.
Start Win32 Disk Imager, and ensure it is running as Administrator
Click the folder icon (1)
Navigate to the location of the downloaded image file
Select the image file
Choose the target drive (2)
Click Write (3)
Wait for the image to finish writing, and the following dialog will appear:
Writing Images in UNIX¶
On UNIX and UNIX-like systems, dd is the best choice for writing disks.
The dd command on Linux may be used from a shell logged in as a user with sudo access or the root user directly.
Before proceeding, check the system log or run the dmesg command after connecting the target disk to find its device name (e.g. /dev/sdd or something like /dev/mmcblk0 if systemd is in use). The following commands use sample disk names, replace them with the actual device name of the target disk.
The image can be decompressed and written in one command. If run as root, omit sudo.
$ gzip -dc pfSense-memstick-2.4.4-RELEASE-p3-amd64.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdz bs=1M
[sudo] password for user:
0+7416 records in
0+7416 records out
243048448 bytes (243 MB) copied, 26.3313 s, 9.2 MB/s
If a warning is printed about "trailing garbage" is may be safely ignored, as it is from the file's digital signature.
FreeBSD works similar to Linux but needs a slightly different set of parameters to dd.
Before proceeding, check the system log after connecting the target disk to find its device name (e.g. /dev/da1). The following commands use sample disk names, replace them with the actual device name of the target disk.
$ gzip -dc pfSense-memstick-2.4.4-RELEASE-p3-amd64.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/da9 obs=64k
If a warning is printed about "trailing garbage" is may be safely ignored, as it is from the file's digital signature.
Writing Images in Mac OS X¶
Works similar to FreeBSD and Linux, but the proper disk name must be located first (e.g. /dev/rdisk3).
Use the GUI Disk Utility to locate and unmount the target disk after connecting
Locate the disk using diskutil list
Unmount the disk using the identifier listed from diskutil:
diskutil umount disk3s1
Decompress and write the image:
$ gzcat pfSense-memstick-2.4.4-RELEASE-p3-amd64.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/rdisk3 bs=1m
