Have you noticed how some websites have a picture in the tab in your browser? This picture is called a favicon. Like most other words that began on the internet, this is two words smashed together – favourite and icon
It's not black magic, it's actually quite easy to create your own favicon.
Just put this code into the <head> of your web page. As long it appears somewhere between the opening and closing head tags it should work. Oh yes, the href attribute must point to the actual picture you want.
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://example.com/myicon.png">
This favicon will only work if the image file is a PNG, GIF or ICO file.
Here is some more information – http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon

A lifelong friend just informed me that Jeff Hanneman, guitarist and founding member of Slayer, passed away today at the young age of 49. My first thought was simple: this sucks.
My next thought was about the impact the band has had on my life. Some of you know I started playing music when I was…well, I can't even remember how young I was. Anyway, I've had a lot of influences over the years but one that stands out in my mind is when I went to high school and met a friend of my brother's (he's a couple years older than me). His friend, Barry, if I remember correctly, gave me a cassette copy of Hell Awaits.
I brought it home and listened to it about a million times. I was completely blown away. This was…maybe 1986? A couple years later and South of Heaven came out. I even covered that song in a old band. I like to think we did it at least some justice.
So what does this have to do with writing? Well, nothing and everything. At face value, nothing, but I'm okay with that. However, if you've read anything I've written you may understand what I'll now try to explain. Slayer has influenced me not just in the music I've written and played but in the writer I've become. It's angry, violent music and I hear it in my head seemingly all the time. I've said before that I don't write with music on because it distracts me, but that doesn't mean it's not in my head.
Read something like Stripped and imagine Slayer playing in the background. Step back in time to Bad Cop and imagine Tom Araya screaming in the background. You will likely find that it fits very well. I don't think I intended that, but I acknowledge it's there just the same. I've said before that I'm not a violent person, and I don't believe that any of the members of the band are either. They simply kick ass at what they do.
So why am I rambling on my blog about this? Because I'm a little sad, and a little nostalgic. Mostly I'm just sad.

Christmas gift-giving has become a tradition in the corporate business world. By giving your clients a gift, you let them know that you truly value them and their business and look forward to working with them in the future. Handled appropriately, giving Christmas gifts can have a beneficial impact on your business. Everyone loves receiving a well thought out gift. So this year follow these tips to choose a memorable and appropriate Christmas gift.
1. First off, check into your own company and your client's company policy regarding gift-giving and receiving. These days many companies have strict rules (such as a limit on the monetary value a company employee can give or receive) to reduce the appearance of any impropriety or bribery. Many times policies of this nature will be laid out in an ethics manual.
If you are in the middle of contract negotiations or a bidding process, we recommend that you hold off on giving gifts until the deal is closed. You don't want your gift to be misinterpreted as an attempt to inappropriately influence the outcome. Remember that government employees are prohibited from accepting any Christmas gifts.
2. If this is the first year that you will be giving gifts to clients, think long and hard about what kind of gifts you want to give and how much you want to spend. Once you start gifting, it becomes a tradition and clients tend to "expect" to get something equivalent to the previous year's gift. The last thing you want are disappointed and resentful clients whose gift expectations didn't get met. If you gave gifts last holiday season, be sure to continue the tradition by following up with an equivalent or an even more special gift this year.
3. Determining what to spend can be a difficult task. Gifts that are inexpensive can sometimes be interpreted as an obligatory gift that does more harm than good. However, giving gifts that are too extravagant and expensive can be construed negatively (as if you are trying to "buy" their business). A general rule of thumb is that gifts going to clients have an average cost of $50 - $60 and usually don't exceed $150 unless they are going to a large office group or someone high up at the company. Company hierarchy should definitely influence how much you spend (or how special the gift is) because appearance is everything to these people and they don't want to be embarrassed. The CEO of a company should get something more expensive than say the Advertising Director. If you are buying gifts for individuals all at the same level within close physical proximity to one another, you may want to consider giving them all something similar or the same gift altogether so that you don't create animosity or the appearance of favoritism.
4. If you are in the referral business (and even if you aren't), you should keep a file on all your client's likes and dislikes, hobbies and other personal information that you obtain through conversing with your client. If you have such information, you should choose your gifts to align with each client's interests and tastes. If you know that they are a sports junkie, then tickets to a hockey or basketball game would surely be a hit. Everyone wants to be validated and giving a personal gift makes your client feel special. If you don't know your client's interests this year, start a file today so that you have that information for next year's holiday gift-giving. In the meantime, go with a gourmet gift. We all have an interest in eating after all!
5. Edible gourmet gifts are always a sure bet. Try to find gifts that have a wide range of snack items (that don't need to be prepared). By having an extensive selection of items like a gourmet gift tower or snack gift basket, your recipient will likely find something that they can enjoy even if they are diabetic or allergic to nuts, etc. We recommend avoiding gifts with liquor altogether because many people and companies have religious, ethical or personal problems with alcohol. No need to offend anyone! If you are sending gifts all across the U.S., you could always send a regional or state themed gift basket. For instance, if your company is based in Virginia, send a basket with regional items like Chesapeake Bay chips and Virginia peanuts. Many folks haven't ever tasted the crunchy peanuts from that region, but once they do, they'll be ordering them for themselves and they'll be thanking you for sharing a taste of Virginia.
6. Christmas holiday gifts are not about promoting your company - they are about saying "Thank You." So if you want to use your company logo in the gift, do it elegantly and tastefully. Don't cover an entire gift in your logo - it is just plain tacky. Imprinted ribbon or a small logo on a tin or gift box are always good options for logo inclusion.
7. Finally, avoid gifts that convey religion or politics. Stick with Season's Greetings or Happy Holidays!

Leo Alexander is still running for D.C. Mayor
It may still be 2009, but we're heading into what could turn into a hotly contested election year. Fenty is up for re-election, and we know people disapprove of his job. He's on weak ground, and the right candidate could make a race of it.
Last week, I talked with Fenty's only official challenger (yet), Leo Alexander, to discuss the current scandals as well as the outlook for the 2010 election. I've got an entire candidate profile up over at District Daily, and instead wanted to write a bit more opinion on the matter here.
Leo Alexander is noteworthy because he says things we don't want to hear. He borrows a page from Bill Cosby and talks about social responsibility. He doesn't pretend that we don't have major social issues in this city. He acknowledges that we have problems with race relations, problems that can't be solved with gentrification alone. He openly talks about the crack epidemic from the 80's, and how we have a generation of people growing up in situations filled with hopelessness without positive role models.
Alexander talks about deploying an army of social workers to help piece things back together. He also talks about jobs programs, but programs that teach a real skill or trade. Simply handing out mindless summer jobs and then forgetting about it isn't enough.
These ideas resonate with me, and I suspect with a lot of other people who pay attention to the news in the District. We also hear what we'd expect from any anti-Fenty candidate. Alexander believes the Fenty administration is the most corrupt administration in the city's history. He wants investigations. He wants more transparency. He wants to build a better relationship with the D.C. Council. He wants to fire Michelle Rhee. He wants to be the people's mayor. Of course.
So this is all great, he urges creative approaches to big problems. He calls for a bold vision for D.C. schools, that includes less emphasis on private and charter schools. He wants a government with integrity and compassion. It all sounds great. However, he's got to get the message out. He needs resources. He will need to raise money. Right now he's got the support of D.C. cab drivers, except that's pretty much radioactive for now, given the bribery scandal.
There's also the tricky matter of knowing how serious he is. It's easy to sit down and write up a platform to try and fix D.C.'s problems. It's harder to make things happen, and Leo Alexander has no public office experience and no record to stand on. He makes a lot of very good points and has some very good ideas. He's also very good at selling his point of view. He could have a shot, but he'll need to get his campaign organized. He recognizes that this campaign will be fought on the Internet, using social media. He needs a better web site, he needs more social media tools. He needs to use Twitter, and he needs to use email lists. If only to just get the attention of other politicians and journalists. He needs to build buzz.
All in all I like to see someone challenging Fenty with new ideas. I want Leo Alexander's campaign to build some momentum so there can be a real discussion of these issues. I have to say that I was surprised by Alexander when I spoke with him. However, for now, he remains so far off the radar that his Wikipedia page has been deleted.

He doesn't resonate with me. Michelle Rhee is the best thing that has happened to this city in a looooooooong time.ReplyDelete
I have lived in the city for 2 years and my son has been now home schooled for 18 months. We brought him from a VA school system were I was raised and were appalled by the DC public school system especially since we live in the Chevy Chase area of Washington DC. If the Upper NW elementary schools are this bad how bad must it be in NE and SE?ReplyDelete
Mr Alexander has a plan to "Bridge the Digital Divide" making it finally possible for our DC students to compete with their counterparts in Fairfax and Montgomery County.
Leo Alexander knows that this can not be done without finally bringing a seamless technology plan to the DC Public School system that will not only allow our children the chance to raise their test scores but to see what is available to them outside of their own neighborhood.

More about this event
This presentation will provide some background information on the epidemiology of the disease caused by cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), and will then consider the major questions that arise whenever the use of CyHV-3 is promoted as a biocontrol agent, including why is it necessary to control carp in Australia, will it be effective, is it safe to use, and what virus will be used.
Learning Objectives - partiticpants will understand:
1. Why it is necessary to control carp in Australia
2. How using the KHV virus can be effective in controlling or eradicating invasive carp
3. Safety issues in introducing the KHV virus.

Many of the problems in the Financial Services industry point to the need for significant upgrade in governance and risk management. Supervisors are increasingly turning their attention to risk culture and gaining a better understanding of how boards and management can more effectively manage their strategic and operational risks. Many of the problems still prevalent point to a need to upgrade significantly the governance and risk management at firms. Much work is already underway, but much more needs to be done. As firms get to grips with their business strategy, risk appetite, risk culture and management, they will need radically different management information which only significant investments in core and critical systems, as well as emerging analytic technologies, will provide.

REDMOND, Wash. — Microsoft said on Friday that it would sell the military and intelligence agencies whatever advanced technologies they needed "to build a strong defense," just months after Google told the Pentagon it would refuse to provide artificial intelligence products that could build more accurate drones or compete with China for next-generation weapons.
The announcement — made quietly in a small, town-hall-style meeting with the software giant's leadership and employees on Thursday, then published on a blog on Friday afternoon — starkly illustrated the radically different paths these leading American technology companies are taking as they struggle with their role in creating a new generation of cyberweapons to help, and perhaps someday replace, American warriors.
But the divergent paths also underscore concerns inside the American defense and intelligence establishments about how the United States will take on a rising China.
In the past two years, the Chinese government has set goals for dominance in the next decade in artificial intelligence, quantum computing and other technologies that it believes will allow its military and intelligence agencies to surpass those of the United States. Pentagon officials have questioned how committed domestic technology companies are to keeping the country on the leading edge, the way Raytheon, Boeing, IBM and McDonnell Douglas did during the Cold War.
Google encountered fierce opposition from young engineers to the company's participation in Project Maven, a program to improve how drones recognize and select their targets. Google declared a few weeks ago that it would not bid on a multibillion-dollar contract to provide the Pentagon with "cloud services" to store and process vast amounts of data. Amazon, for its part, appears willing to supply its services to the military and intelligence agencies, and it runs the information cloud services that power the Central Intelligence Agency.
Even before Friday's announcement, Microsoft seemed like the only plausible alternative for the Pentagon's giant cloud project, called JEDI, in which Amazon is considered the front-runner.
But the announcement by Microsoft may have a greater effect on future technologies, including warning systems and weapons powered by artificial intelligence. And the company's leadership, after brief debates this summer, concluded that by dropping out of the bidding, Google was also losing any real influence in how the weapons would be used.
"This was not a hard decision," Brad Smith, Microsoft's president, said in an interview in his office. "Microsoft was born in the United States, is headquartered in the United States, and has grown up with all the benefits that have long come from being in this country."
But Mr. Smith seemed to be trying to strike a middle ground.
He has sued the United States government repeatedly to halt Washington's efforts to gain access to customer information stored on the company's servers, and he is pressing for new international agreements to limit how the United States and its adversaries can use cyberweapons.
He also argued in the blog post that "to withdraw from this market is to reduce our opportunity to engage in the public debate about how new technologies can best be used in a responsible way."
"We are not going to withdraw from the future," he said.
Mr. Smith's comments stood in sharp contrast to statements by Google this month. When the company dropped out of the competition for the JEDI cloud computing contract, officials said they "couldn't be assured that it would align with our A.I. principles," a reference to a set of principles issued in June in which the company vowed not to design artificial intelligence products that would be used to harm people, or for surveillance or armaments. The contract is believed to amount to about $10 billion over a decade, but the shape of cloud computing that far into the future is hard to predict.
Some industry experts saw Google's statement as an effort to gain political credit for backing out of a competition it was unlikely to win. Unlike Amazon and Microsoft, Google is missing some of the government certifications it would need to provide the software to the military.
Microsoft is believed to have a good shot, in part because President Trump has made no secret of his distaste for Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder and the owner of The Washington Post. But even as Mr. Trump frequently dismisses the "Amazon Washington Post," Amazon is considered the front-runner for the contract, in large part because of the company's experience in building the C.I.A.'s cloud computing ability over the last five years. In an analysis published in June, Deutsche Bank Research concluded that Amazon "is best positioned to win the lion's share of the JEDI contract" and that Microsoft was the "main challenger."
Culturally, Google and Microsoft are far different; while some Microsoft employees have expressed unhappiness with the company's government contracts, most recently with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the protests among Google engineers and other employees were far more intense and far more public.
Microsoft has been far more willing, however, to challenge the government. It went to court to try to keep the United States from being able to subpoena Microsoft for the emails or other records of customers whose data was stored abroad. (The suit was rendered moot by federal legislation.) It has been pressing for a "digital Geneva Convention" that would, like the traditional Geneva Convention, wall off certain civilian targets. The United States government has resisted the idea so far, not wanting to limit a president's options to use cyberweapons against power grids or other targets on which civilians depend.
"We can't control how the U.S. military uses our technology once we give it to them," Mr. Smith argued. "But the military is subject to civilian control. And we believe we will have an opportunity to influence those discussions — but it's not up to us."
But to a large degree, the import of Microsoft's announcement has more to do with the politics of confronting China and less to do with its immediate prospects.
The Pentagon has struggled in recent years to bring the Silicon Valley innovation to new weapons systems and sensors. The acquisition and testing process is so long that many high-tech systems are outdated by the time they begin. While the Obama administration succeeded in creating an outpost in Silicon Valley, called DIUx, or Defense Innovation Unit Experimental, its budget was small and some promising off-the-shelf technologies — for example, small, inexpensive satellites that could be fired in large numbers over North Korea to detect mobile launchers — have been delayed for years.
But the next challenge facing both the government and the companies is whether American-based companies will be limited in what kind of artificial intelligence technologies they can sell to China.
In his interview, Mr. Smith would not indicate whether Microsoft would also provide all of its products to, say, the People's Liberation Army. "It's an issue we are going to have to work through," he said. But the reality, he and other executives in the technology field have noted, is that the Chinese would not accept American-made artificial intelligence code, for fear that the United States would turn off Chinese access to the cloud services in a time of conflict.

Works of Sadness, Beauty and Humor in North Carolina Lit Mag
The Raleigh Review is a nonprofit literary magazine based out of Raleigh, NC. They release two issues a year comprised of visual art, fiction & poetry. The editor prefaces the collection with a note about human nature, stating that these works are about people meeting each other and the experience that this brings us. That said, this also a very modern collection of writing. The pieces are all written from varying perspectives. A confused young boy experiencing our country for the first time (Siamak Vossoughi, "Sad and American"). A young woman struggling with the loss of a close loved one to cancer (Paula Martinac, "Comfort Zone"). A victim of a school shooting (Wayne Miller, "Ballad (American, 21st Century"). There is a menacing, cold depiction of humanity's indifference that comes across very clearly throughout this collection.
The short fiction pieces in the most recent issue are carefully constructed around two or three independent characters who are often set in their own paths, not anticipating their interactions with the other like-minded individuals in the story, but not fearing them either. While the fiction does tend to stick to the traditional nature of storytelling in a structural sense, it also bends the narrative in a way that leaves the reader asking for more. Most of the stories do have a clear beginning, middle and end as well. The sequence is initiated when one character meets another and a new perspective comes to light, altering the main character's course and heightening the increasingly dramatic scene (i.e. Harry pulling the phone from his pocket, thought by Ada to be a gun in "Comfort Zone." Most of the fiction walks the line soberly as far as narrative goes, beginning at point A and ending up at Point C. The authors all offer wonderfully detailed settings and character traits but we often see them float unscathed through their stories.
The poetry does take on a more experimental tone though, most notable in the varying structures throughout the collection. From the haiku-ish, twenty-word stanzas of Kate Gaskin's "Flight" to the blockier, more personal and literative prose of Jose Angel Araguz's "Sin."
The fiction remains the most conventional of the pieces, while the poetry and artwork make greater, more experimental strides. That said, my favorite type of fiction has always been reliant on some sort of basic structure, just as the best poetry and visual art rely on their lack of said structure to remain buoyant and relevant. "As I nod off from the junk, there's a pulse in my head…" pulses the eery refrain of Sean Shearer's "Hide and Seek," dim regret cast on a fading shadow.
The most humorous and accessible moments in this collection come from characters interacting with one another in the fiction pieces, such as a young woman joking with an older man about the irrelevance of his shirt in"Comfort Zone," enhancing the generation gap between the two and illustrating the characters beautifully.
There a poems with some funny themes, such as "Instructions for an Elegy to Ginger, the Chicken," by Matthew Burns, in which the author gives a touching tribute to a chicken who becomes a hawk's prey, beautifying the brutal nature of the life's cycle. Another poem, "My Great-Grandmother's Ghost is Kleptomaniac," by Emily Paige Wilson, details with a wonderfully dreary yet whimsical hand of a young woman's memory of a relative she may have never even known through their shared familial possessions.
Almost all of the fiction in this collection deals with a person and a close family member dealing with a new change in their lives. Sometimes it has to do with coming to terms with how race is dealt with in a new country as a family, as we see in Siamak Vossoughi's "Sad and American" and sometimes it is about a family dealing with losing one of their own, as in Mary Grimm's "Dove and Ellie."
These familial themes appear in the poetry as well, as in Keetje Kuiper's "Spring Letter from the South," where a lonely son writes to his Mother about missing the "cold mountains at night," ultimately comparing the south to a cemetery, perpetuating the gloomy feeling of death that looms beautifully throughout the collection. The poetry is experimental in both structure and language, but I would not classify it as free verse. These poems are all unique in their design, but once a structure is defined, it tends to sustain itself throughout the piece. The authors of these pieces appear to speak with a youthful perspective, but in no way does their perceived inexperience translate into amateur writing.
While the pieces deal with common literary themes like drug use and personal relationships, their thematic depth goes much deeper. The simple sadness of the human condition is communicated clearly in nearly every piece, and works as the main unifier of these works. This collection speaks to anyone who has ever been through the complicated and often frightening experience of getting to know a person. The Raleigh Review speaks to this human connection, and the works chosen are beautiful portraits painted from several unique, challenging and ultimately rewarding points of view. I would definitely submit to this publication.

Are you thinking… a "glass house"… in the desert? Wouldn't it be much too hot or too cold? Seems like it would be impossible.
But watch this video about a house built in Spain in the Gorafe desert. Though set amid spectacular views of mountains and desert landscape, a building in this remote and inhospitable location would have been unthinkable without specialized glass.
Architect Spela Videcnik of OFIA Architecture says: "The goal of this project was to show that with the right glass, great indoor spaces can be created anywhere". "Designed with the help of experts in glazing technology, this project in the Spanish desert was planned so that the house would not need any heating or air conditioning. Just open the windows!"
Technical Manager, Guardian Glass, Tamas Kovacs says, "just imagine being out here and spending a night under the starry sky. Basically being in a glass house is not much different from sleeping right under the stars".

Earlier this week, The Sun appeared to have taken a very quiet and important decision to drop its outdated, misogynistic feature, Page 3. Now, it seems that this was all a big joke and it's being reinstated.
For those not in the UK, page 3 is the third page of the British newspaper The Sun, and it features a picture of a young girl, usually between the age of about 18 and 25, with her breasts out. That's it. In among the news and celebrity gossip, there's a picture of a girl with her tits out. As its a newspaper, there's no age restriction on buying this. The Irish edition took out Page 3 two years ago.
Others will say it better, or more succinctly, or more profoundly, but I think the wonderful people behind the No More Page 3 campaign summed it up best:
Fuck The Sun. I hope this makes people realise what a fucking joke that newspaper is. Even people who were ambivalent about Page 3 before the announcement that the feature may be being axed are saying that this move seems like it's deliberately hostile and was done purely to belittle and ridicule women.
This felt like a real step forward, and now it feels like they were just doing it to take the piss out of the people who (rightly) feel that showing a young girl's breasts shouldn't feature in a national newspaper that can be bought by literally anyone of any age.
I just feel so defeated.

Aquafaba whipped cream is light and fluffy vegan whipped cream that is gluten free, soy free, and nut free too! You will be shocked by how amazingly delicious it tastes!
What is Aquafaba?
Aquafaba translates from Latin as bean water. Yes, that stuff in the can of beans that you usually wash down the drain and rinse off the beans. Bean water doesn't sound very appetizing, so they call it something a little fancier – aquafaba! I usually use the liquid from chickpeas, but any bean liquid will work. Chickpea and white beans will have the most neutral flavor and whip up the whitest.
Does aquafaba really taste good?
Although it has a pretty name, you may still be turned off by the idea of bean juice. I was hesitant to try anything with aquafaba. Actually, it took me a few years before I worked up the nerve to try it. Wow! I was missing out! I wish I had gotten over it years ago. It doesn't have much flavor itself but is delicious when sugar and vanilla are added.
Tip: Most people prefer to use unsalted bean for sweets made with aquafaba. I have used both and I don't notice a big difference if you can't find unsalted beans.
How do I make whipped cream with aquafaba?
- Simply drain the liquid from a can of chickpeas or white bean into a mixing bowl. There is usually about a ¾ cup of liquid in the standard can.
- Use a mixer to beat the liquid until it gets foamy.
- Add a ¼ teaspoon of cream of tartar to help it to hold its shape. Then continue to beat the liquid for 5 more minutes on high until it forms stiff peaks.
- Add 1 TBS of vanilla extract. This will turn your whip cream slightly brown. Don't worry, beat it for another minute or 2 and it will turn white again.
- After you have whipped it for about 7 minutes, slowly add 2/3 cup of powdered sugar while continuing to beat the mixture. (I've seen some recipes that call for granulated sugar and I have tested it out, but I have found that it stays lighter and fluffier with powdered sugar).
- Turn off the mixer and add 2 TBSP of neutral oil like refined coconut or canola oil. Mix on low for about 5-10 seconds. Just enough to get the oil distributed through the whipped cream.
Note: If you over mix once the oil has been added, it will lose its fluffiness. The oil gives it a rich flavor and mouth feel similar to real whipped cream.
Can I make it fat-free?
Yes! It still tastes great without the oil. It is a little lighter and fluffier without the oil, but a little less creamy too. So, if you don't want the fat and extra calories, leave it out!
How should I store it?
Serve immediately on berries, ice-cream or your favorite smoothie! Store in a sealed container in the freezer and use like you would any frozen whipped topping like Cool Whip. (Just take it out of the freezer and let it warm up for about 10 minutes before using). If kept airtight, it will keep up to a month in the freezer.
Try some other amazing recipes using aquafaba…
- Vegan Chocolate Mousse
- Aquafaba Ice Cream
- Vegan S'mores Pie – with Aquafaba marshmallow topping!
Top your favorite smoothie with a dollop of aquafaba whipped cream and make it into a healthy dessert! Check out this strawberry cheesecake smoothie!
What should I do with the can of chickpeas that I opened to make this recipe?
Make this easy vegan chickpea salad!
Make sure to pin the aquafaba whipped cream recipe for later!
Vegan, gluten free, soy free whipped cream!
- 3/4 cup aquafaba (liquid from canned unsalted chickpeas or white beans).
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar or lemon juice
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar (most organic varieties are vegan)
- 2 tbsp neutral flavored oil like canola or refined melted coconut oil
Drain and save the liquid from a can of chickpeas or white beans.
Pour 3/4 cup of the liquid in a medium sized mixing bowl.
Use a mixer and beat the liquid until it starts to get foamy.
Add the cream of tartar and continue to mix for 5 minutes on high until it becomes very fluffy and forms stiff peaks.
Add vanilla and continue to beat for another minute.
Slowly add powdered sugar while continuing to mix on high until all vanilla and sugar are mixed in and the mixture if very fluffy.
Turn off mixer and add choice of neutral oil. (melted if using coconut oil).
Turn on mixer to low and beat for 5 -10 seconds to get the oil distributed. (Do NOT over mix once oil has been added or you will lose the fluffiness)!
- Make sure to beat the aquafaba for the suggested time or longer before adding the oil or your whipped cream will separate and lose it's form.
- You can leave out the oil and make this whipped cream fat free!
- Any white bean liquid can be used.
- Use unsalted or low salt beans for the best flavor.

Wear your bump proud! They come in all shapes and sizes and that is a beautiful thing!
If you have been pregnant before, you know that everyone loves a pregnant woman. From the longing stares you get from mommas who have passed that phase in life who now have older, grown children, to the women who have started that phase in life and cannot wait for it, to the men….I don't quite know what they are thinking? If I am being positive, they are thinking it's a beautiful thing that we women go through but I must say, some of them have their minds elsewhere! I went into home depot with my family the other day, and the stares from some MEN were making me so uncomfortable, that I had to go wait in the car…but I digress! This post is about embracing the bump, and the curves, and my fave fashion look for the preggers; the high-waisted skirt.
I had been wanting to try those high waisted, bump-on-display skirts my whole pregnancy, but needed an occasion and thankfully one came up. I had to meet my husbands new employees at happy hour, so comfort and style was my goal …you know what else was a goal? A drink, but ya know….soon enough. It was the most perfect fall day, 68 degrees so I could layer my two tops comfortably without sweating TO DEATH. So, winning!
The striped top I am wearing underneath my chambray top is SO thin, SO soft, SO not maternity and SO stretchy, you need it! The chambray top I am wearing is maternity because I wanted one that would button over the bump and my usual size is SO far from closing that I really had no choice but to buy the top! This was a super good maternity purchase BTW. And the SKIRT! I mean, talk about adorable, with the faintest floral print and the side rushing, not to mention its comfortable! It comes in three colors; rust, navy, and this military green – which I can honestly never pass up because this color is so versatile. The choker lariat is Stella and Dot. I just threw on the superstars at the end, for comfort…because the extra 30 + lbs I am carrying around needs comfy shoes right now.
What are some of your favorite maternity clothes trends?

When the PlayStation Plus games for January were announced and it was revealed that PS Vita owners would be receiving PSP title Legends of War: Patton's Campaign – a lot of PlayStation Vita owners felt cheated.
This was because there is a PlayStation Vita-native version of the title available called Legends of War: Patton (or History: Legends of War in Europe). Cue a lot of angry gamers venting their frustration in the comments section of both the EU and NA PlayStation Blog posts.
Things were made even worse for those in Europe when on the day that the Instant Game Collection titles launched in both regions, it was realised that those in North America did in fact receive the PlayStation Vita version of the game whereas those in Europe were given the PSP title;
Is there any reason this has happened? The EU get PSP game and NA get the Vita version? @PlayStationEU @FredDutton https://t.co/lpY71fHRfJ
— Charlie Large (@CharlieLarge) January 5, 2016
However, after a number of complaints were made to the European Blog team around this discrepancy, the European Store team have rectified the issue and Legends of War: Patton's Campaign has now been replaced by the Vita title History: Legends of War in Europe in this month's Instant Game Collection.
@boersc @CharlieLarge @Serum_Lake Vita version should be up now: https://t.co/0EIP0NrXox

The European PlayStation Twitter account then tweeted out the correction to let everyone know that the mistake had been rectified;
It has now been replaced with History: Legends of War (PS Vita). Download now: https://t.co/3HEsAksH9O
— PlayStation Europe (@PlayStationEU) January 7, 2016
So, what are you waiting for? Get back onto the PlayStation Store and be sure to download History: Legends of War to your handhelds!

Teaching resources to stimulate classroom discussion.
Copyright, Creative Content, Making Movies, Online Piracy & more.
These are hot-button issues for educators. Digital disruption has transformed the way we access and disseminate information. Educators play a critical role in guiding students through the ever-changing digital landscape.
All our resources align with Australian and/or state curriculum outcomes. Use the subject menu below to find resources for your subject area.
Content theft is no longer just kids sharing music & movies with friends; it's the new frontier of organised crime. Content thieves profit at the expense of content creators and consumers alike.
The film & TV industry thanks Australian consumers for accessing movies and TV shows legitimately.

A Thought: It's a Roller Coaster.
As a child, I wasn't crazy about roller coasters–something about the sound of a creaking, moving wooden track, perhaps! Up and down, turning sideways–our bodies submitted to the course of the track. In life, our emotions, careers, the weather, health, even our spiritual life–experience these highs and lows. Of all of these, the one category which can help us the most and which we can steer the best is, our spiritual walk.
So, partner with me today that you and I will do one positive thing which will feed our spiritual reservoir. In doing that, we have a greater chance of balancing life's "roller coaster" affects.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-19 "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit"
Have a GREAT week!

Caribbean states to update telecoms legislation
The five member states of the Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications Authority (ECTEL) are updating their telecoms framework with legislation, reports the St Kitts & Nevis Observer. A new electronic communications bill is expected to come before the parliaments of the member states.
"We have come to a point where through the dynamism of the telecoms industry and the advancements that have been made in technology, the existing act can no longer work for us," said Quincy Prentice, director of ECTEL's board. ECTEL was established in 2000, and comprises a council of ministers, a regional directorate and a national telecommunications regulatory commission (NTRC) in each member state. http://bit.ly/2wXdvqv

Folks, I'd like you to meet Molly and Carroll. Rich and I have sat next to them at Pawtucket Red Sox (Pawsox) games for the past 5-6 seasons and they are possibly the most awesome couple on the planet.
Molly and Carroll have been married for 54 years. They live on their farm in Rhode Island, where they used to raise cattle but now just grow hay in their fields. They are retired and enjoy things like minor league baseball games on the weekends and really big jigsaw puzzles.
Molly is a great storyteller and is that person who can fill in the gaps of a conversation so perfectly that there is never an awkward moment or strange silence. She tells us that she and Carroll got married because "I wanted to have breakfast with him … and we have ever since." This photo totally captures them: she's telling a story and he's just trying to watch the game. 🙂
So why am I writing about them? Because of so many reasons … I've grown to care about them immensely. I've learned so much about their lives through their stories. I hope that one day Rich and I have 54 years of marriage stories to share in the same way they do.
Sometimes people get closed-off and forget to speak with people around them, especially in a public place like a baseball stadium. Don't forget to look to your left or your right and say hello. You never know what you'll get back.
