I have at least two full posts dedicated to my love of Stephen King. One of the most interesting things about challenging myself to read the authors back catalogue is when I discover a book I felt ambivalent towards the first read, and now ADORE.
That was Pet Sematary for me ( and No,that isn't a typo). The book follows the story of Louis and his family, when they move to a new town for his job. The main themes are heritage, secrets and grief. I read this novel in two parts whilst traveling to and from Birmingham, it's a fairly quick read at 424 pages and a real page turner. As I reached the hundred or so pages I was internally screaming at Louis. It's well written, constructed and fairly unpredictable. This is a sad story, but a good story.
The interesting this is I really disliked this book when I read it as a young teen, and I remember being so irritated by the film. Which I am now keeping everything crossed ends up on Netflix soon.
If you try this book let me know what you think, keep track of my reading challenge here.

"On the Backs of Angels" was released as A Dramatic Turn of Events' lead single via YouTube on June 29, 2011.[2] A music video for the song was released on September 14, 2011.[3] The song was nominated for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards, eventually losing to "White Limo" by Foo Fighters.[4][5]
In composing "On the Backs of Angels", on the advice from one of their fans and co-writers, Dream Theater tried to illustrate their signature sound.[6] From the start, the band envisioned the song as an album opener that, according to Petrucci, would make their fans "feel at home". Clocking in at 8:43 long and with numerous time signature changes, the song is mostly played in 4/4 and 3/4 time. Its introduction features a moody and foreboding arpeggiated guitar pattern that was written by Petrucci and inspired by the music of said fan favorite, Pink Floyd.[7] At 5:51, the song breaks down into a piano passage that was improvised by Rudess.
Music videoEdit
A music video was released for the song. It features shots of the band playing the song live, along with gears turning, the White House, various American cities, temples, and money. The video ends with the sun rising.
Rock Band 3Edit
It was made available to download on November 29, 2011, for play in Rock Band 3 'Basic' and 'Pro' mode which utilizes real guitar/bass guitar, and MIDI-compatible electronic drum kits/keyboards in addition to vocals. It is one of the few songs available through the main store that is rated 'Impossible' (the highest difficulty) on 8 out of 10 instruments, and is the hardest song available for Keys and Pro Keys.

Prince Harry's girlfriend Cressida Bonas gets an invite to Prince George's christening
THE romance between Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas must be rather serious, as the pretty blonde has been invited to one of the biggest royal events of the year - Prince George's christening.
The 24-year-old is said ti be on the guestlist for the special occasion, which will take place at St James's Palace, but is unsure about whether or not to attend.
According to The Mail on Sunday, Cressida is rather nervous about being in the public eye, so she's not sure whether attending the Chapel Royal service followed by tea at Clarence House is the best idea.
"She's very, very nervous, about everything, but Prince Harry is being very protective of her and wants her there," a source close to the couple told the newspaper.
She's very, very nervous, about everything, but Prince Harry is being very protective of her and wants her there.
Despite the couple's relationship developing away from the spotlight, in recent weeks they have been spotted out and about on dates together - and appear to be serious about one another.
Prince Harry, 29, is said to anxious for Cressida to be seen at his side and has reassured her that his older brother, Prince William, and the Duchess of Cambridge have made sure that the christening will be a private and intimate affair.
There's thought to be just 60 names on the guest list, and even Princess Anne and Sophie, the Countess of Wessex aren't included on it.
Instead, Kate will have her sister Pippa Middleton and her brother James present, and possibly their respective partners, Nico Jackson and Donna Air.

Hearts, a young technology company, is based in Corona, California. There are only three members in a team: Joseph Kim, Joshua Nho and Jaeyoun You. All have engineering background, which helped them to develop a health diagnostic module for Project Ara smartphone – a glucose meter.
Project Ara's modular architecture is an ideal mobile platform that can be used as a tool for mHealth, i.e. health research and healthcare delivery with aid of mobile technologies.
Joseph told us that the design stage is almost finished. The team is performing the calibration of the device and awaiting for FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) approval. The prototype of glucose meter has dimensions of 1X2 Ara module and a tiny display.
Although both Project Ara smartphone and Hearts glucose meter module are far from appearing on the market soon, there are some testimonials at the official Hearts website from potential customers who are following the project closely:
I don't need to bring a big bag of glucose meter. I can carry this all the time since the glucose meter is a part of the cell phone and not an attachment.
This will be a perfect gift for my dad. He won't need to ask me to find his glucose meter. He will always have his glucose meter on his Ara phone

A post about the drudgery and monotony of living this modern, technologically advanced, intellectually superior, sophisticated and charming
(note: in the following entry, no corporate/company names or titles shall be given, so that I won't be found in a place of condemnation for recounting my life story)
So I was called into the office yesterday (3/3/2011), at my work, and asked to sit down. I did so, gladly. My hands were sweaty, and my body stiffened as I tried relaxing myself into the soft backing of a blue, padded chair. The two managers present in the office with me both attempted weak smiles, but I could already tell.
I'm going to be rejected.
"Rose," the gentleman began, "we've heard about your interest in the full-time position that has become available at your branch, and we are very grateful for your enthusiasm."
Let me begin my saying, that this manager is one of the kindest people I've ever met. Truly.
It not only radiated from his voice and his bearing, but from his words and his tone of voice. He was so empathetic, sincere, and gentle. His calming presence made the entire rejection-meeting easier for me to process and handle (emotionally).
"Unfortunately, we've spoken with your manager, and she just doesn't feel like you're where you should be, at this point, with you're training.. that you aren't prepared to take on the responsibility that a full-time teller possesses, and that to promote you to such a position – at this time – would be unfair both to you and to our members."
It hit me like a brick.. and yet, I seemed to feel nothing at all. I was, by prayer, transported to another place, where I didn't need to cry, or protest, or defend myself. I simply knew that this was destined; that I had already been here before, in the chair, being rejected and delicately consoled. I nodded my head and agreed with everything that was said.
And that was it. 5 minutes, in and out. No, I don't have any questions. No, I won't become discouraged.. yes, I'll try applying for the next position that becomes available. The decision was made and I was now able to start allowing my mind to adjust, settle, re-organize and re-strategize. Where do I go from here.
Really, I kinda knew where they were coming from.
Having worked solely in the drive-thru for 3 months hurt my endeavor of mastering all MSR procedures. There, in the "pit," I was confined to the execution of three very basic transactions: deposits, withdrawals, and loan payments. When it came to opening or closing an account — opening or "cashing out" a cd — disbursing official checks, money orders and the like – I had been somewhat.. clueless. Over time, by observation and minimal experience, I was able to fully understand how one produces money orders, official checks, cashier's checks, and temporary checks (and was able to do the said transactions). I also learned, during the short periods of time when one of the tellers had gone to lunch and the lobby was too busy for just the other to handle, how to do "cash advances" (payments with a credit or debit card) and how to make credit card payments. I was told, two weeks back, that in order to enrich my training I would be given two weeks on the front line, and that one of the full-time tellers would take my place in the drive thru. Resultant, in the past week and a half, I have opened several accounts, reinstated two, and closed two. I also closed out a certificate of deposit yesterday. I feel much more competent, knowledgeable, independent in my decision making and ready to embrace the stresses and challenges of full-time teller work. But.. when it comes to reporting my success and advancement to my manager, all courage and confidence flees.
I just wish I would have received opportunities to get the experience sooner, before it was too late.
Regardless, my beautiful and wonderful mother has been a source of strength. I walked back into work following my lunch break today and after sitting down, unlocking my drawer and preparing myself to function for the public, I pulled up my email account and read beautiful words that she had typed out in a letter to me.. familiar words that I had heard before, forgotten, and needed to remember:
For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another. Psalm 75:6,7
And so.. I figure..
why on earth do I need to worry, complain or fret?
God is all-wise, all-knowing, full of love and all-powerful!
If He has led me safely thus far.. why would He continue in any other way? And why should I think or fear or believe that He would continue in any other way — in a way that would destroy or harm me? Hasn't He assured me, in His word, that "(He) knows the thoughts that (He) think towards (me)? Thoughts of peace, and NOT of evil?"
I digress.***
So I've realized, as a fully developed and (more) mature nineteen year old, that we, as humans, really do live for the weekends. We work, labor and slave away all week to absolutely ensure that when our time for rest does come, we thoroughly enjoy, completely appreciate and entirely crave it.
I used to be very idealistic, optimistic and all that -istic jazz. "You should enjoy your job and working because you're going to spend half of your life doing it! Make the best of it! Enjoy every moment! CarpefreakingDIEM."
Now — the more seasoned, experienced, tired me realizes that those 40 hours a week I'd love to be spending with my husband and puppy are devoted to other people and (in the grand "scheme of things") unimportant things. And then the two-day weekend I'm blessed with finds me so overrun and worn out that the energy I wish I had is gone. Instead of being my old, fun, care-free, energetic, spontaneous, crazy and life-loving self, I'm yawning. I'm dreading Monday. I'm slowly counting down and earnestly grasping every single hour and moment of freedom remaining to me.
I'm living for the weekend.
This past weekend was unique. Usually, our weekends are bright, sunny, event-packed, smile filled, go to fast and leave us satisfied and filled with happy memories. This past weekend sort of.. sucked!
First of all, Saturday, went way too fast. Church breakfast began at 8:30 and as Chris was asked to provide three dozen bagels from Panera for the event (the which he had bought the day before), he felt it his duty and responsibility (as the "bagel expert") to arrive early enough to ensure that the bagels were cut "correctly." Anyways, breakfast ended at 9:30 and sabbath school began. I helped teach in the E-teens class. Sabbath school ended at 10:30 and the thirty-minute intermission between sabbath school and church flew past us. Church started at 11:00.. it ran until about 12:20. The nominating committee (of which I am a part) met directly after, ate a lunch that was provided, and began the meeting itself around 1. We were all there until 2:30. Chris picked me up and in addition to being tired(Bruster had kept us up the night before and lengthy church services make me sleepy), my morning headache had returned. We had made plans to take Bruster to the park that afternoon and.. alas, outside, it rained. Our evening schedule read "Go to the Harriman's first annual BONFIRE and have a blast!" and.. alas, it CONTINUED raining.
So, Saturday.. yeah.
We overbooked ourselves.
We got up, cleaned the house spotless, took Bruster to the park (since his Saturday "fun day!" fell through), came home and showered, went grocery shopping, headed over to his friends house for a sort of reunion/ cookout, and came home at about 5. By that time, I was — again — yawning and tired, and Bruster (the puppy of perfect timing) ate my phone.
Yes, he ate it.
He didn't ingest it (I prevented him), but he definitely would have forced it down his throat had he been given enough time and had he NOT caught Chris's attention.
This is what happened. I had been laying, comfortably, on the couch, and decided to get down onto the floor where my puppy sat.. to hug him. As a mother, I fully realize that despite my condition of weakness and personal fatigue I still have responsibility to nurture my pet and shower him with love, affection and etc. So, as I hugged him and Chris stared, Bruster got up off of my lap and began walking away.
"ROSE! He has your PHONE!"
..what? BRUSTER!!!!!!
He did, and it was too late. Razor-sharp puppy teeth marks littered the screen and the silver backing of the phone.. half of the screen was comprised of insane, bizarre lines and the other half somewhat maintained the image of the familiar, but vague background I had grown accustomed to. "Oh no, Chrisss! What am I going to do? This SUCKS.."
I immediately entered "cry whine whine" mode and Christopher assumed the "super daddy" role.
"It's okay, baby — let's hurry, we might make it to the Sprint store before six!"
So we hopped into the car, put the pedal to the medal and made it there by about 5:52. I walked in and consciously (it didn't take too much effort) tried to look "upset." (Upset customers always get what they want, right?)
Long story made shorter, I explained my circumstances and was told that after paying a 50-dollar deductible, my phone would be shipped to me overnight. "So I can't just get a new phone now? here? in the store?"
"No, I'm sorry ma'm, but as soon as you call in, make your claim and pay us money we'll be more than happy to inconveniently ship a new phone to you."
So, we did. It should be arriving today (Tuesday).
It's almost time for me to "head off" to work: on the agenda for today, serving at OLIVE GARDEN from 11:30 until the "lunch business decline." Chris and I have been wanting to get haircuts, so if we can book a last-minute appointment with our regular stylist, we'll be handling that today as well.
Life is busy, life is great –
the joy just never ends!
Money and time consume your mind
and force you to break or bend.
Life is busy, life is great!
Something new happens everyday
Like your doggy decides to eat your phone,
and thoughts of promotion vanish away –
And you're left in your party array
with no joy, no phone, and no pay.

Find the MAC address
Profile: Richard Siddaway
One thing that has bugged me for years is having to use the /all parameter with ipconfig to get the MAC address. It also doesn't work on remote machines. bah humbug.
The MSNdis_EthernetCurrentAddress class in the root\wmi namespace offers a quicker way
function get-macaddress { param( [string]$computer="." ) Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi -Class MSNdis_EthernetCurrentAddress ` -ComputerName $computer | foreach { $values = @() $_.NdisCurrentAddress | select -ExpandProperty Address | foreach { $values += ([convert]::ToString($_,16)).ToUpper().PadLeft(2,"0") } $mac = $values -join "-" New-Object -TypeName PSobject -Property @{ Computer = $_.__SERVER Adapter = $_.InstanceName MACAddress = $mac } } }
Get the WMI objects for MSNdis_EthernetCurrentAddress. For each of them take the NdisCurrentAddress and expand the address property. This gives 6 integer values one for each element of the MAC address. We convert them to hex, convert to upper case and pad a 0 to the left if needed. the MAC address is created by joining those 6 values with a hyphen.
An object is created to output the results

Lemon water
The benefits and harm of water with lemon are conditioned by the substances that are contained in lemons. Lemons comprise a lot of ascorbic acid, vitamins D, B1, B2, B3, carotene, as well as a record amount of vitamin P or rutin, which is present in large quantities in all citrus fruits. Lemons contain magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, organic acids, fructose and sucrose, essential oils, bioflavonoids, lemons pulp is rich in pectins.
When we make a lemon drink, all the useful substances go into the water. Such water is a powerful antiseptic, especially important in winter, when the incidence of viral infections increases. Water with the addition of lemon juice has the following properties:
If you drink water with lemon on an empty stomach, the benefits will be immediately apparent. Such water can successfully replace energy drinks that are so popular among young people. The drink invigorates, improves energy tone, improves mood. Lemon water can replace a cup of coffee, and you will not feel the difference, so quickly it leads into a working state.
Lemon drink, drunk in the morning for 25 – 20 minutes before breakfast, stimulates digestion, improves intestinal motility, removes the phenomena of flatulence. It is useful to drink with constipation caused by intestinal atony. The drink helps the liver in its purifying function, since it binds and removes toxins from the body. Thanks to potassium salts, the lemon drink improves appetite and relieves nausea.
Lemon water is valuable for losing weight and improving metabolism. Organic acids, fully oxidized in the body, produce a large amount of alkaline components, forming carbon dioxide and water, which are quickly removed from the body together with slags and excess liquid, which contributes to the normalization of metabolic processes in the body.
Lemon water improves the work of the gastrointestinal tract, increases metabolism, removes slags, splits and removes fats, thereby contributing to weight loss. It is very useful to drink a glass of water with lemon on an empty stomach, in order not to gain extra pounds.
How to make and how to drink
Wipe the lemons thoroughly with a sponge and rinse with very hot water, as before transportation they are treated with chemicals for a longer period of storage.
Lemon water is very easy to prepare, for an adult, squeeze 1/4 of the lemon and add it to a glass of warm boiled water. This is at your discretion, if it is very sour for you, you can take more water or add a little honey – a teaspoonful. And by the way it will be a double benefit! Read about the advantages of honey water here.
You should drink this water in the morning on an empty stomach to start the process of digestion and recharge your batteries for the upcoming work day. During the day, you can prepare lemon water again and drink at any time convenient for you.
Do not store the prepared lemon water, make water at a rate for a single dose and drink at once, as if stored for several hours, there will be practically no useful properties in it.
Lemon water is contraindicated for people with high acidity of gastric juice, citrus fruit allergies, diseases of the stomach and other health problems, which require consultation with a doctor.
Due to the high content of organic acids, lemon water can adversely affect the tooth enamel, so after drinking it is advisable immediately to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth well. Or, you can drink gently through a straw.

In the early 17th cent., when first encountered by the whites, the Potawatomi lived near the mouth of Green Bay in Wisconsin. By the end of the century, however, they had been driven (probably by the Sioux) S along Lake Michigan and were settled on both sides of the southern end of the lake. After the Illinois were conquered (c.1765), they advanced into NE Illinois, S Michigan, and later NW Indiana. They were friendly to the French and aided them against the English. The Potawatomi supported Pontiac's Rebellion, fought against the United States in the battles headed by Little Turtle, took part in the battle of Fallen Timbers, and signed the Treaty of Greenville (1795). They sided with the British in the War of 1812. With the advancing frontier, the Potawatomi retreated westward to Iowa and Kansas, although a portion went to Walpole Island in Canada. From the reservation in Kansas where they had gathered, a large group moved (1868) to Oklahoma Indian Territory; this group, which held lands in severalty, became known as Citizen Potawatomi. They also have reservations in Michigan and Wisconsin. In 1990 there were close to 17,000 Potawatomi in the United States; another group has a reserve in Ontario. Their name is also spelled Potawatami, Pottawatami, and Pottawatomi.
In the old days, floks used to gather in the churches and recreation rooms to socialize and play bingo. Equipped with cards, making devices, and caffine, they would chat with friends and neighbours and hopefully win a few bucks. Of course, the old-fashioned game still thrives, but bingo has evolved over the years into a largescale, highly interactive experence. Today, it's one of Amercia's most popular passtimes. The game took a huge step when it developed into a craze at Indian casinos and bingo halls all over North America. Terchnology eventually enabled simulcast games in which several bingo halls participated. The odds against winning were high, but the jackpots were inflated as well. The more-the-merrier concept that briought about the large-scale bingo games is the basis behind bingo an the world wide web.
In the UK, there are around three million bingo players. It is hoped that this study and the growing body of research around it will help to promote the game to those who otherwise would have written it off as something to be enjoyed with gardening, tea and everything else we assume people over the age of 65 suddenly develop a passion for.
In what's purported to be a sneak preview of a countrywide smoking ban in Britain's bingo halls, two bingo establishments in Wales are imposing a one-night moratorium on smoking next week. The Top Ten bingo halls in Milford Haven and Pembroke Dock, Wales, are expecting the move to be met with disapproval, but are going ahead with their ban plan regardless.

DPRK, ROK to march togethercompanies that make wristbands at Pyeongchang OlympicsWristbands And Its Remarkable Facets You can"t walk down a street these days without having seeing 1 of individuals silicone wristbands with some kind of writing on them. You could be wondering how in the heck they even got started out at being an promoting instrument. It"s not as odd as it may sound.
GENEVA -- Delegations from the Democratic People"s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the Republic of Korea (ROK) will march together under the name "Korea" and the Korean Unification Flag at the opening ceremony of the upcoming Pyeongchang Olympic Winter Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on Saturday.
The announcement came from IOC President Thomas Bach after a four-party meeting at the IOC headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Saturday that was attended by delegations from the National Olympic Committees (NOC) of the DPRK and the ROK, the organization committee of the Pyeongchang Olympic Winter Games, and members of the IOC.
All parties signed the Olympic Korean Peninsula Declaration after the meeting, which finalizes the necessary details of the DPRK"s participation in the games.
The IOC will grant accreditations to 22 athletes from the DPRK who will compete in three sports and five disciplines, including figure skating, short track speed skating, cross country skiing, Alpine skiing, and in a united women"s hockey team.
Accreditations will also be given to 24 officials and 21 media representatives from the DPRK.
The IOC has approved that delegations from the two countries be marching together as one under the name "Korea" at the Opening Ceremony and led into the Olympic Stadium by the Korean Unification Flag, carried by two athletes from the two NOCs respectively. There will be one female and one male athlete flagbearer leading the delegation in a special uniform with the Korean Unification Flag.
In addition, for the first time in the Olympic history of the two countries, a unified women"s ice hockey team will be created by adding 12 players and one official from the DPRK to the existing ROK"s Olympic squad of 23 players, but it"s up to the head coach from the ROK to select the players for each match.
The unified women"s ice hockey team will be represented by the Korean Unification Flag and compete as Korea, with the anthem being the song "Arirang". In all other sports, the athletes will compete for their respective NOC in their respective uniforms.
In his speech after Saturday"s meeting, IOC President Bach credited the day as a "milestone on a long journey," as the IOC has been addressing the special situation of having the Olympic Winter Games 2018 on the Korean peninsula.
The Pyeongchang Games have "opened the door for peaceful dialogue on the Korean peninsula," and shown that "Olympic sport always builds bridges" and "never erects walls," Bach said.

Standing within some of the mountain and high country regions of The Great Western Tiers and Central Plateau are sites which hold an aspect to a unique part of the Tasmanian heritage not commonly known, the mountain huts.
Men and their Mountain Huts
by Carol Haberle
Today these mountain huts bring back the cultural traditions that are fast becoming a part of Tasmanian folklore. The early years of the 19th century saw many men trekking into the mountains and forests, as far as the plateau regions, in search of a way to provide for their families, or to supplement their farm income, times were tough. Shepherds and cattlemen searched out regions to graze their sheep and cattle, miners went in search of precious minerals, forest workers went in search of timber and snarers went in search of possums and wallabies for the skin trade.
Many of these men called the mountains their home for much of the year, regardless of the seasons, the environment on the mountains was harsh, so a need for shelter saw them building simple, rustic huts. Huts were even built for fishermen and bushwalkers to shelter in. Many of the huts are no longer in existence, many no more than a pile of stones and rotted timber… but some have been preserved, thanks to the efforts of The Mountain Huts Preservation Society. The Society have a partnership agreement with the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service, and also have members who are involved with the Deloraine Walking Club, Tasmanian Mountain Cattlemen's Association and North West Walking Club.
Dedicated to Preservation and Protection
The Mountain Huts Preservation Society Inc. consists of a group of dedicated volunteers, both community members and users of the high country, who came together with one common goal, to preserve and protect the mountain huts. Many of the original members came from within the Mole Creek and Deloraine and districts, people whose heritage had direct links to those men who worked the mountain all those years ago. This was their heritage, a legacy passed down by their forefathers. Today this society maintains, restores and preserves these historical huts, researches and records the cultural history and promotes the conservation of the natural environment within the Tasmanian Central Plateau and Great Western Tiers regions.
Built by Ancestors
One such hut, located on The Great Western Tiers is Haberle's Hut. Built by Bill Haberle and his sons, Gordon and Bill, during the Great Depression, around 1931, they used it when snaring and trapping in the area. This hut holds special significance to my husband Kev, for it was built by some of his ancestors. Kev's ancestors originally came to Tasmania from Germany back in 1858 and settled in the Caveside/Mole Creek region.
While doing a little family history research several years ago we came across an old newspaper article with mention of this hut, so we then set out to find out if it still existed. It did, and it was here we learned that Charles Crowden, along with Caveside resident, Kelvin Howe and the Deloraine Walking Club (formed in 1972 to promote walking into remote and wilderness areas for enjoyment and challenge) spent 17 months between June 1981 and October 1982 in rain, sunshine and snow restoring this quaint little trappers hut high up in the tiers. A couple of years ago Kev and I set in motion plans for a mountain trek to visit Haberle's Hut.
Trek to Haberle's Hut
The start of this trek takes place on Parsons Road at Caveside, 10 minutes south of Mole Creek. A short drive along a gravel road leads you to a signposted car parking area, this is the start of Parsons Track, a track not created for the enjoyment of bushwalkers, but created over many years by several generations of families of both early settlers and those who worked the mountain… hunters, trappers, snarers and timber workers. The first part of the track is an old 4WD track, though fallen trees and washaway areas now prevent driving on. The trek took us through magical mountain rainforests, native shrubs and trees as far as the eye can see, where one and a half hours later we came to a small loggers hut: Hill's Logging Hut. This hut was named for Bruce Hill, a man who logged the area for about twelve years in the 1960s. The hut was restored by the Deloraine Walking Club in the early 70s. Having rested a little here, we then moved on, and half an hour later we stood at Loftys Lookout; the views were sensational, below us was a magical Tasmanian landscape.
We Made It
So far the walking had been comfortable, though it was a warm day in March, the constant shelter of the forest helped to cool. A further kilometre on and we reached the end of the 4WD track, from here the going got tough for a while as we proceeded to climb the Little Grunter (I soon learned why it was called that, though coming across a tiger snake here ensured my 'grunts' were anything but 'little'). A seriously steep section of the walking track, but worth every effort when we came out of it and into an area of myrtle flats… beautiful myrtle trees and green mosses surrounded us, it was truly like standing in another world.
Haberle's Hut was hidden from view, but a signpost guided us a further 100 metres off the main walking track to where almost four hours after we started on Parsons Track we stood before this quaint little hut, only 6' 6" long by 8' wide, and so full of history, here beneath a forest of myrtle trees. It was here I stood and truly gave serious thought to the men who built these mountain huts, the harsh reality of what those men did to help their families survive, spending months on end up in the harsh conditions this mountain landscape wielded… and gave thanks to all those involved in the restoration and preserving of this part of Tasmania's unique history.
I must explain here the difference between 'signposted' times and our time to make the trek. Signposted times are obviously for serious bushwalkers, mmmm, five hours return to Haberle's Hut, it took us seven… I on the other hand had a camera with me, and as Kev will tell you, "take Carol with a camera and you will need to allow an extra couple of hours!"
To anyone with a love of bushwalking, or a love of the cultural history surrounding these mountain huts, I recommend this trek… well and truly worth every step you will take. Kev and I only went as far as Haberle's Hut, but the trek progresses a further two hours to take you to the top of the tiers and onto the plateau. With native flora in abundance, you'll also see a little seasonal wildlife along the way: echidnas, wallabies, mountain dragons, skinks and snakes. To get there: take Caveside Road (C169) south from Mole Creek village for about 7km, turn right into Pool Road, then left into Fernleigh Road and right into Parsons Road. The car park and start of Parsons Track are signposted.

Tiny streaks of white speed boat spray across the broad Hudson River as we flew over more land than I had ever flown over before. It was 1998 and I was on my way to America for the very first time.
Huge trucks, bandit style raced past us on the highway. Rows and rows of traffic and hot tarmac snaking off into the distance. Billboards loomed above me, smiling faces, whiter than white teeth and mile high telephone numbers. Call me, buy me.
I was in the South, Memphis Tennessee, living inside every movie I had seen growing up. Everything so familiar on screen, so alien in person.
I can't say I fell in love. Although, it left me with a strange yearning for Red Lobster's cheese and garlic biscuits.
That all changed in December 2004. I landed in Manhattan.
Dizzy spinning in circles.
So many people.
Shouldn't they be bursting into song randomly like the movies? Shouldn't I?
Steam from the streets.
Yellow taxis.
Cold breath exhaled in puffs of white.
Spinning and spinning so much to see.
In Times Square,
On Broadway.
Painted across my upturned face.
I fell in love, and I fell hard.
By the time this posts I will be back in America. We are heading to the South (the Carolinas this time), to celebrate the milestone birthday of a beloved friend. On our way back to Amsterdam we will be spending a few days in Manhattan, me and the husband, in a city we both love but have never explored together.
I can't wait.

The Colorado Foreclosure Hotline was recently given a two-year grant worth $600,000 by the state's attorney general's office. The money will come largely from fines levied against Countrywide and Wells Fargo, part of those companies' penalties stemming from allegations of mortgage fraud.
[Featured Tool: Get your free Credit Report Card from Credit.com]
Currently, the Colorado Foreclosure Hotline receives about 3,000 calls per month from residents at risk for losing their homes, and has just four employees. Since it was started in 2006, it has helped more than 132,000 Coloradans receive more information about how they can avoid foreclosure. In all, more than 25,000 have received enough help from the program to keep their homes.
[Resource: Misconceptions May Keep Homeowners From Getting Low-rate Refi's]
"The Colorado Foreclosure Hotline is the best resource available for consumers facing foreclosure," said Colorado Attorney General John Suthers. "It is free and has a proven record of helping homeowners in distress assess their options and make an informed choice. This grant will help keep this resource available for the next two years as Colorado continues to experience historically high levels of foreclosures across the state."
Many consumers who are facing foreclosure may turn to government assistance programs in an effort to receive financial help in avoiding the process. However, many of these programs are difficult to qualify for.

Google says it's sorry for Monday's hours-long Gmail delays
Dual networking outage won't happen again, honest
Google apologized on Tuesday for a networking glitch that prevented emails from reaching many Gmail users' accounts for as much as two hours or even longer.
"The message delivery delays were triggered by a dual network failure," Gmail site reliability engineer Sabrina Farmer wrote in a blog post. "This is a very rare event in which two separate, redundant network paths both stop working at the same time."
Email delivery broke down at around 5:54am Pacific time on Monday, Farmer said, and the online ad giant didn't get on top of the problem until around 1pm the same day. The full message backlog wasn't cleared until around 4pm.
The service interruption only affected around 29 per cent of messages passing through Gmail, Farmer said, and of those, the typical message was only delayed by 2.6 seconds. But some messages were left hanging much longer, and in the worst cases – about 1.5 per cent of the total – they were delayed for more than two hours. In addition, some users who tried to download large attachments from their Gmail accounts experienced errors.
A contrite Farmer expressed Google's regrets. "We realize that our users rely on Gmail to be always available and always fast, and for several hours we didn't deliver," she wrote.
But to be fair, she said, even several hours' worth of spotty networking had negligible impact on Gmail's overall uptime stats. "Gmail remains well above 99.9% available," she wrote, "and we intend to keep it that way!"
Users weren't locked out of their Gmail accounts during the incident, and they were able to read email that had already been delivered and even send new messages of their own.
Gmail has certainly dealt with worse. In 2012, a misconfigured sync server triggered a system-wide Gmail outage and caused the Chrome browser to spontaneously crash at the same time. And just last month, all of Google's services mysteriously vanished from the net at once, causing not just Gmail but 40 per cent of internet traffic to go dark for a few minutes.
Still, Farmer says Gmail will be updating its network capacity and adjusting its infrastructure so that mail delivery will be "more resilient," even in the event of a dual network failure. What's more, the Chocolate Factory will rejigger its internal practices so that the next time something like this happens, its engineering teams will be quicker to respond.
Shame on you, Google. Shame on you. ®

Improving survival rates
The survival rate of children diagnosed with the most common form of childhood leukaemia – acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (cALL) – has steadily improved since the early 1960s. Certain types, however, such as childhood acute myeloid leukaemia (cAML), haven't seen treatment advance to the same extent. Bloodwise-funded researchers in Newcastle are striving to address this problem and in a new study have revealed that an unusual genetic alteration can increase the risk of relapse in cAML.
Despite cALL being the most commonly diagnosed cancer in children, childhood leukaemia is still a rare condition. Approximately 350 new cALL patients and 60 new cAML patients are diagnosed per year in the UK. Thanks to decades of research, the 5-year survival rate of children with cALL now sits around the 90% mark, which had risen dramatically from less than 10% in 1960. The outlook for patients with rarer forms, however, is not quite as positive, with the average 5-year survival in cAML around 60%. This figure has been gradually increasing but an absolute priority for researchers studying childhood blood cancers is to emulate the progress of cALL and push towards 100% survival.
Laying the groundwork for future breakthroughs
One of the challenges of cAML research is that there are roughly six times fewer diagnoses than cALL, making it difficult to study. To tackle these issues, Bloodwise has funded a programme of research since 1993 to investigate the genetics of all childhood leukaemias. This research group collects samples from all children diagnosed with cALL or cAML in the UK and undertakes painstaking genetic analysis each and every time a sample is received.
The researchers also keep close track of each patient's progress throughout their treatment. They then look back at the genetic data to identify which DNA changes affect the disease course and critically, which genetic alterations correspond to better responses to certain treatments. Over time, this information can be used to optimise treatment for patients, categorising them based on their genetic profile alongside other factors. This approach is known as treatment stratification, and has underpinned the successes in cALL treatment. Replicating it with cAML will hopefully reap similar benefits in the long-term.
A potentially important discovery
As the Newcastle group has been collecting samples for such a long time, they can now study even the rarest genetic changes in cAML. The new study published in the journal Leukemia looked at a genetic fault found in less than 1% of both adults and children with AML called 'trisomy 4'. The group used 87 clinical samples collected by themselves and other UK facilities between 1989 and 2009. Although the 'trisomy 4' genetic change did not appear to affect adults with AML, children with the specific alteration seemed to have a greater risk of relapse. These children did, however, respond well to the drugs used to overcome relapse, known as salvage therapy.
This is the first time 'trisomy 4' has been found to be important in predicting disease course in cAML. The researchers suggest that, in future, children that are found to possess the 'trisomy 4' fault should be monitored more intensely for signs of relapse so that doctors can intervene with salvage therapy if needed. If further clinical trials show this to add benefit, this could contribute to the ongoing push for better stratification for patients with cAML.
The importance of specialised research facilities
This potentially important finding was made possible due to the presence of specialised research facilities capable of the accurate storage, analysis and monitoring of large amounts of patient samples and information. These successes highlight why dedicated research centres are so important and will continue to play a critical role if we are to continue making progress in treating rare forms of childhood leukaemia.
- This study was published as an open-access advanced online publication in Leukemia: Chilton et al., "The prognostic significance of trisomy 4 in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is dependent on age and additional abnormalities" Leukaemia 2016
- The research was funded by Bloodwise.

the rice
legal & privacy

Want to know how to cook mighty rice®, or the difference between white and brown grains or anything else about our lovely, healthy rice? If we haven't answered your query,
contact us here
Where can I buy mighty rice®?
Our products are available for sale across Mauritius in most
supermarkets. But international customers, don't despair. We are actively working to get our rice to a natural food/gourmet store near you. If they don't stock it, why not ask them to?!
Are your products Kosher Certified?
Yes, all our products are Kosher
certified and Pareve by Earth Kosher.
Are your products genetically modified?
No, absolutely not. We can verify that through our participation in the Non-GMO Project.
How should I store mighty rice®?
Too good for the back of the cupboard. Reseal and keep somewhere cool and dry.
As with any natural grain, deterioration can be caused by heat, light and pests.
Uncooked brown rice has a considerably shorter shelf life than
uncooked white rice due to the oil in the germ layer. It's a good idea to keep any whole grain product, including brown rice, refrigerated or in the freezer for a long shelf life.
What does whole grain mean?
It means that the germ and bran layer on the rice is left intact. All rice starts as a whole grain. When the germ
and bran layer are removed, you get white rice. Most of the nutritional value in a grain of rice is within the germ and bran layer.
What is the Glycemic Index (GI)?
The Glycemic Index (GI) or 'blood sugar index', is a number that ranks carbohydrate foods from 1-100 according to the rate at which
carbohydrates are broken down into glucose (sugar) in the body.
The classification used for GI foods is as follows:
• Low GI = 55 and under
• Medium GI = 56 to 69
• High GI = 70 or more
A high GI food is one in which the
carbohydrate breaks down quickly, causing a sharp rise and fall of blood glucose. A low GI food, like mighty rice® is one in which the carbohydrates break down slowly, producing a smaller and smoother rise and fall of glucose in the bloodstream.
What is mighty rice®'s GI value?
Our rice has been tested by the University of Sydney and verified as being ultra-low GI with a GI of 48.
Why eat lower GI foods?
Foods with a low GI release sugar into the body more slowly, so that you feel fuller longer and don't
experience the energy spike known as sugar rush.
Is mighty rice® suitable for diabetics?
Yes, because mighty rice® has a lower GI than other rice varieties, it's a great choice for diabetics or people who just want to enjoy healthy and nutritious rice.
Is your rice gluten free?
Yes, our rice is gluten free and therefore ideal for people with celiac disease.
Is your facility gluten-free?
Yes, all of the products produced within our facilities are gluten-free which prevent our facilities from being exposed to gluten.
Is mighty rice® suitable for those with celiac disease?
The only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet, such as with mighty rice®.
Celiac disease is not a food allergy – it is an auto-immune disease.
It is a life-long inflammatory disease of the upper small intestine cause by intolerance to gluten affecting many
genetically susceptible people worldwide. Gluten is a protein found in wheat and other similar proteins in rye, barley and oats.
When people with celiac disease eat foods or use products containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging or destroying villi – the tiny, finger like projections that line the small intestine.
Villi normally allow nutrients from food to be absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream. Without villi, a person becomes malnourished, no matter how much food they eat.
The cause of celiac disease is still a mystery. Celiac disease is reported to be most common in Ireland and recent studies show that it affects
1:133 in the United States.
Where is mighty rice® grown?
mighty rice® is grown in a village called Rose Belle located in the south east of Mauritius.

Czech Republic round-up: Zizkov climb into top spot
Sunday 17 February 2002
Article summary
FK Viktoria Zizkov climbed to the top of the Czech first division on Sunday by beating FC Brno 2-1.
Article body
FK Viktoria Zizkov climbed to the top of the Czech first division on Sunday after beating FC Brno 2-1.
Zizkov take the reins
Zizkov took advantage of AC Sparta Praha's defeat to FC Slovan Liberec the day before to move into top spot, but had to come back from a goal down after Martin Kotúlek's 49th-minute opener for Brno. A penalty from Ales Pikl midway through the second half and a Michal Pospísil goal six minutes from time were enough for Zizkov to take the spoils.
Last-minute leveller
Radim Kucera's last-minute equaliser for SK Sigma Olomouc foiled CU Bohemians Praha's plans to move level on points with deposed leaders Sparta. Bohemians looked to have secured all three points when Ivan Dvorak struck ten minutes from time, but Kucera got his head to a David Kobilýk corner to ensure honours ended even.
Homola makes a point
Elsewhere, FK Jablonec 97 recovered to take a point from their match with fourth-placed FC Baník Ostrava as Jirí Homola poached a late goal to level at 2-2. Jirí Masek gave the home side a first-half lead before Miroslav Matusovic and René Bolf looked to have wrapped up the points for Baník during the second half. But a desperate final few minutes ended with Homola poking home a rebound off the crossbar to level the scores in the dying seconds.
Slavia held
SK Slavia Praha failed to make the most of Baník's slip as they were held 0-0 by SK Hradec Králové. Edvard Lasota's goal enabled ten-man FK Drnovice to salvage a 1-1 draw after having Fabio Luis Gomes sent off in the first half of their game against FK Teplice, who had gone ahead on 50 minutes through Petr Vorisek.
Synot sunk
FC Príbram overcame 1. FC Synot 1-0 thanks to Horst Siegl's strike just before the break while rock-bottom SFC Opava look destined for the drop after losing 2-0 at home to their nearest rivals, second-from-bottom FK Chmel Blšany.

Posted by Charna Manson on April 19, 2017
This week I've chosen not to write about stinger suits but rather to acknowledge the March passing of Chuck Berry, an absolute Rock 'n' Roll legend.
According to Wikipedia he "redefined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made Rock 'n' Roll distinctive." By doing so, he has been regarded as a true pioneer of the music genre. Helping to define Rock 'n' Roll's potential and attitude, his songs resonated with the youth of the day, for they were about teen life and consumerism which, for its day, was seen as being a bit out there but then that's Rock 'n' Roll for you baby!
Very early on Berry developed his own hybrid musical style which included popping guitar solos and a showmanship, the likes of which hadn't been seen before. It was this unique combination that drew both white and black listeners to his concerts and I feel, in some ways, helped change the prevailing attitude towards racial segregation in the USA, at least within the younger set.
In an ironic twist, Berry's 60th birthday concert in 1986 was filmed in the very same theater that, for racist reasons in his childhood, turned him and his father away when they went there to see a movie.
'Maybellene', the partly autobiographical 'Johnny B. Goode',' Roll over Beethoven' and 'Rock and Roll Music' are some of his earliest, and well known hits and are still being covered by today's artists.
Famous for his 'duck walk' while playing the guitar, his signature body movements apparently began in 1956 when he was simply trying to hide the wrinkles in a rayon suit by 'shaking them out'! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqS76TFCCYs
Considered by some as Rock 'n' Roll's founding guitar hero, he learned a technique of bending 2 strings at one time which became known as "the Chuck Berry Lick".
In 1986, when the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame was opened, Berry was one of the first musicians inducted. He was cited for having "laid the groundwork for not only a rock and roll sound, but a rock and roll stance".
Although he will undoubtedly be missed, his legacy will live on!
Go go go Johnny go …Go … Johnny B Goode!!
And a quick reminder our Easter stingersuit sale is still on!

Metal fabrication processes involve cutting, bending, joining and assembly of metal products. Indoor heavy fabrication facilities can be several stories tall with thousands of square feet of floor space. Some heavy fabrication operations produce large enough products that they are conducted outdoors.
The processes by which structural building materials, airframes, ship hulls and other large materials are produced are considered to be heavy fabrication processes. Other fabricated metal products like furniture, cabinetry, gratings, hand tools, firearms, electronics and other smaller products are considered to be light fabrications.
Heavy fabrications form the backbones of many structures and infrastructure utilities like bridges and tunnels. Steel reinforcement of buildings has become common in all kinds of construction projects. The components required in such applications are often very large, and heavy fabrication facilities must be large and open enough to accommodate them.
The industries that make the most use of heavy fabrication services include the engineering, heavy machinery, petrochemical extraction and refinement, manufacturing, defense contracting and aerospace manufacturing industries. Many heavy fabrication companies supplement their manufacturing services with design consultation and post-processing inspection.
Heavy fabrication companies must offer their customers a range of fabrication services. Fabrication companies compete with each other to offer customers the highest level of efficiency for the lowest price. Innovation is an expression of competitive competition, and innovations in heavy fabrication have streamlined many manufacturing processes.
Robotic welding, for example, has allowed for increased output and more uniform production for many large scale automotive manufacturing operations. Reducing labor intensity and product development saves fabrication companies time and money, and customers often realize the benefits of those savings as well. Metal joining methods like welding and fastening must both be present on a heavy fabrication company's list of capabilities.
Many of the products of heavy fabrication processes end up contributing to the safety of large groups of people. Load bearing elements in bridges, buildings and in other structures must meet strict standards of durability, corrosion resistance and other safeguards. Heavy fabrication companies have a unique responsibility for ensuring the quality of their products for this reason.

In 2004, a 2-meters-long, golden-spotted monitor lizard was discovered in the high Sierra Madre forests of Luzon, one of the main islands of the Philippines. It wasn't until last year, when an adult was captured and sampled for DNA, that this lizard was shown to be a new species. This new species has been named the Northern Sierra Madre Forest Monitor Lizard (Varanus bitatawa). It spends much of its time in the trees, its diet consists of fruits and snails (not carrion like many other monitor lizard species), and has specialized claws that help it to climb and gather food. V. bitatawa is related to two other fruit-eating monitor lizards found in the Philippines, most closely to Varanus olivaceus from southern Luzon and nearby islands. It differs from other monitors in scalation, color pattern, body size, reproductive anatomy, and genetic divergence. Additionally, it is ecologically isolated from V. olivaceus (found on the same island) by a 150 meter, low-elevation river valley, restricting V. bitatawa to the forests of the central and northern mountain range. As with many other species in the world, and in the Philippines, these lizards populations are experiencing massive population declines due to habitat destruction and hunting and trapping for the pet trade.

Here we provide you with overview of all Opera versions and names currently available, as well as official Opera download links.
There are 2 major variants of Opera Browser – fully featured Opera Browser and Opera Mini. The difference is that Opera Mini doesn't connect to websites you browse directly, it connects through proxy which renders and compresses the content you browse. If you're interested in Opera Mini, check out our Opera Mini page with more detailed description and official download links.

As for fully featured Opera Browser, it connects directly to the website and renders everything on your device. This can slow down your experience if your device is weak, but you will get all the websites correct. All the other Opera Browser names are just different depending on your device:
- Opera Browser for Windows, MacOS and new Android devices (4.x+). This is the main software you should use if you can.
- Mobile Classic for old Android devices (1.x-3.x). It's no longer updated and is intended to support old devices. Development stopped in late 2013.
- Opera Coast for iPhone and iPad (Opera Browser is actually not available for iPhone and iPad, so Opera Coast is a dedicated iOS version).
There are also a few more Opera products, which are more intended for developers, but you might find them interesting as well:
- Opera Next is a preview of what you'll see in the next major Opera Browser version, so you'l be the first to see all the new features, interface changes etc. It is available for desktop computers only.
- Opera Max is a proxy for your android device, which significantly compresses video, audio and images you download from internet, saving your money if you pay per MB of data downloaded. Moreover, it can block internet usage for chosen applications, which can serve like a lite firewall. When you use internet, many applications can download data unknown to you. Opera Max allows you to control which applications use internet and block those you don't want to use it.
- Opera Mail is fast and easy to use free mail client for your PC.

We strongly recommend downloading the latest version of Opera Browser as the developer keeps making it faster and more secure with each version. Also, older versions may be vulnerable to security issues.
Why should you use Opera Web Browser?
Smart and practical interface. Clean and easy panels layout, which shows only key features at any time, but you can also easily access all the features you might need. Tabs may look and feel a bit robust at a first glance but they are actually quite practical. You may work with pinned tabs and quickly access your favorite websites using Speed Dials (a feature taken from Opera Browser by many of the other top browsers), which enable you to add an unlimited number of pages that are revealed as thumbnails when a new tab is opened. The Stash page keeps track of your favorite websites which are organized into a simple list and can be accessed with just one click. You may zoom in or out of the Stash items and perform search operations by keywords. There are also a lot of custom themes available which can change the way your browser looks. Extra functionality can be added to your web browser by installing extensions so you can translate webpages, block advertisements, save your passwords, and more.
Discover news and entertainment. The Discover feature offers a simple and efficient way for helping bloggers, journalists or news addicts stay up-to-date with the latest news updates based on user preference, namely country and language or subjects of interest (e.g. arts, business, food, health, sports, technology).
Search mode. Opera adopts a combined search and address bar for helping you look for info on the Internet, displays predictive search suggestions, and lets you organize multiple pages with tabs, activate the full screen mode, make text more readable by zooming in or out, bookmark pages, and retrieve the tabs closed earlier in the current session.
Opera Turbo feature is specifically designed for slower Internet connections, as it saves bandwidth and compresses data while you browse.
Mouse Gestures. A fast navigation mode can be acquired using mouse gestures (e.g. holding the right mouse button, moving the mouse a certain direction) for performing common browsing actions (e.g. close current tab, reload the page), rocker gestures in order to jump backwards and forwards through pages by rocking your fingers between the right and left mouse button, as well as keyboard shortcuts.
Private browsing. You can activate an anonymous mode for searching on the Internet without leaving any traces behind. When you close the private window, Opera automatically deletes browsing history, items stored in cache and cookies.
Sync. The Sync mode lets you save your bookmarks, Speed Dial, custom search engines, history and other configuration settings so you can access them across multiple devices.
This means that when you request a page in Opera Mini, the request is sent to the Opera Mini server that then downloads the page from the web. The server then renders the page, strips unnecessary things, compresses it and send it to your device. This dramatically reduces the size of the content you download, and greatly increases download speed, which is especially useful if you're on a slow connection, or if you pay per MB downloaded. However, Opera Mini limits website interaction, so not all websites might work correctly with this (but most work fine).

Starting in October, I knew that I wanted to make my first heirloom gown for my cousin's first grandchild that was due at the end of December. I wanted it to be extra special so I went to A Frayed Knot in Lakeland, TN to purchase my fabric. Overwhelmed at the selections, I chose a cotton/silk twill fabric in white & bought the Michie #108 Infant Tucked Gown pattern. Baby came early in December but I was in the midst of Christmas sewing so I put the gown on hold. In January, I got started. I asked the mom as to what size would she need & she said newborn. So I cut the small little bodice but decided to go with the largest size skirt (12 mo) so there would be lots of fullness. I embroidered a Jerusalem cross in the center front of the skirt & a basket of flowers with roses on each side. The back of the skirt had 3 baskets of flowers embroidered on it. Each design had well over 30,000 stitches each. I did white on white. Oops, forgot & used a little off white in one or two of the designs. I added 3 pintucks to the bottom of the skirt & a lace edging. The lace was a rose design of cotton/rayon from Hancock Fabrics. I wanted a little lace beading so added a row of that above the pintucks. This took most of the month of January to get these things done. Then I cut out the bodice but it wouldn't match up & I didn't understand the instructions fully. I really do need to take a class on this. So, I cut another bodice & again it wouldn't match up. It's a good thing that I bought a lot of fabric for this gown. By the middle of February, I realized that the baby had grown so I cut a larger size bodice (opted for 6 month size) & again it would not match up. I was really getting frustrated. One of my guild members looked at the instructions & pointed out that I was supposed to make the pintucks first from a rectangle of fabric, add the insertion lace, & then cut the bodice & yoke. I did that & viola, everything matched up the way it was supposed to do so. By then, the baby had been baptized so I decided I would finish the gown for Easter. I added the sleeves, lace beading on the shoulders & around the sleeve bands & sewed the bodice to the skirt . Thank goodness for good sewing machines & sergers. I embroidered the baby's name & birthdate on the yoke lining plus added some fabric behind the center front so the embroidery did not detract from the insertion lace. On the back, I had to figure out how to finish the opening (instructions were useless at this point) as the back was cut on the fold. I opened down the center & added lace beading to the neckband & the waistline. Note to self, do buttonholes before adding the lace beading or they will not be centered. I added a small placket in the back of the skirt & did a lot of hand stitching to get the neckband & sleeve bands on as well as the placket. It's not my best placket ever but for a first try, it wasn't too bad. I sewed on the buttons, took some photos of the finished gown modeled by my doll, Suzy & sent it express mail to the new mom. They loved it. It was a labor of love, a new challenge to grow in my sewing skills & a joy to sew.
Happy Sewing!

Police: Man killed after pulling gun on officers
54-year-old pulled out long gun after seeing officers
STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. – A 54-year-old Sterling Heights man was killed Saturday morning after pulling a gun on officers, forcing them to shoot him, police said.
At around 6:50 a.m., Sterling Heights officers responded to a 911 call coming from the 37000 block of Lola Drive near 16.5 Mile and Dodge Park Road.
The call was from a juvenile resident regarding a domestic assault incident between his mother and father.
Police said when officers arrived and entered the home, the man pulled out a long gun.
An officer fired his duty weapon and hit the man. He was taken to Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in an ambulance, but was pronounced dead.
The investigation of this incident has been turned over to Michigan State Police.

Protects against yield losses based on the average of your county and protects against commodity price fluctuation.
Advantage: The cost of coverage is very low. Your price per bushel is 1.25 times the established price so the dollar coverage is high. The level of coverage can be increased to 90%.
Disadvantage: Because the insurance is based on the county average yield for that crop year, you may not get a crop and the county average is still average, and thus you will not receive a payment.
It would be very risky to commit your crop as loan security, forward contracting, or feed supply. Crop hail coverage should be added to get the same level of security. By buying a hail policy, it will make it very expensive. There is no replant, no prevent plant and losses get paid the next year.

Product Information
X-Track – Powered Rear Tracks for Combines
Mud Hog adapted the Camso conversion track system, a 100% bolt-on solution, to the Mud Hog hydraulic rear drive axles for combines. This new technology is the first of its kind and provides farmers with the ability to have powered rear tracks on their combines for improved harvesting performance.
The Camso conversion track systems for the rear of the combine are primarily targeting situations where the fields are very wet creating access issues. With farmers equipping tracks on the front axle of their combines, they are able to access and harvest fields with poor footing conditions that the wheeled machines just could not get to.
The Camso conversion track systems on the Mud Hog rear powered axle for a combine improves the performance during harvest:
• Maximizes mobility and traction in challenging/poor field conditions
• Improves steer-ability in those soft conditions as the tracks reduce ruts/field damage and consequently soil repair after harvest from combine operated in those challenging field conditions
Combine Compatibility:
• CNH Flagship machines
• John Deere STS and S Series
• Working on more compatibility
o Machine MUST have Mud Hog or factory equivalent to be compatible

Oh look, it's the first Monday of the month. Do you know what that means? It's time for the Secret Recipe Club again!
(On a slightly related note, where the hell did February go? It feels like the past four weeks just zoomed by at light speed.)
My SRC assignment for this month is Melissa, who blogs over at I Was Born to Cook. The blog's name is a reference to Melissa's Greek and Italian roots, and if the looooooong list of recipes in her Recipe Box is anything to go by, she 's doing a pretty bang-up job of living up to that name.
As usual, picking just one recipe was a challenge.
There were tons of delicious-looking treats that caught my eye as I browsed around Melissa's blog, but after last month's Nutella Granola pig-out (and with a wedding dress just 3 months away… eep!), I was determined to make something healthy this month.
Lucky for me, Melissa has quite a few healthy meals in her repertoire, and I ended up spending a little while debating between the Mexican Egg White Omelets, the Blueberry Multigrain Pancakes, the Baked Quinoa with Chicken Sausage and Spinach, and the Chipotle Turkey Meatloaf.
In the end, though, it was these Meatless Mexican Stuffed Peppers – a vegetarian stuffed peppers recipe with a filling of brown rice, black beans and corn – that really caught my attention.
I'm happy to report these were a huge hit. They're a hearty vegetarian main dish that is pretty much a meal on its own, though I ended up serving mine with a simple salad of baby spinach just to round things out.
While the original version looked plenty delicious, I did make a few small tweaks to suit our tastes. I used fresh cilantro instead of dried, added a cup of tomato puree for a saucier filling, used frozen corn instead of canned, and added a dash of hot sauce to give it some oomph. I also kept the peppers whole instead of slicing them in half.
Next time, I might also parboil the peppers for 3-5 minutes before stuffing, since they did come out a little crunchy even after half an hour in the oven. Other than that, though, these were pure perfection.
(Update: I've re-made this recipe a few times since I first posted it, and parboiling is DEFINITELY the way to do it… so I've updated the recipe to add this step, though you can omit if you like your peppers on the crunchy side.)
And did I mention how super-easy they were, too? The peppers could easily be filled a day or two ahead of time, and then popped into the oven for a quick weeknight meal. (Or to setup a photo shoot, which may or may not be what I did here.)
After wolfing down a couple of these peppers, I've come to two conclusions – Melissa was definitely born to cook, and these peppers were made to be devoured.
Now it just remains to be seen if I can lay off the treats long enough to fit into that wedding dress! :)

Two Years Ago: Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Three Years Ago: Lamb Shanks with Pomegranate and Chickpeas
Meatless Mexican Stuffed Peppers
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 20 mins
- Total Time: 30 mins
- Yield: 6 1x
This quick and easy meatless main dish is full of flavour, not to mention loads of heart-healthy fiber and protein.
- 6 medium-sized bell peppers (red or green)
- 2 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (540 ml) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 1/2 cups frozen corn niblets
- 1 cup tomato puree
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- Hot sauce to taste (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Preheat oven to 375F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, and fill a large mixing bowl with ice water.
- Start by preparing the peppers. Slice the top off each pepper about 1″ from the stem end, then remove any seeds or ribs left inside. If any of the peppers are a little crooked, slice a little off the bottom until they stand up straight.
- Cook the peppers in the boiling water for 3 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Arrange the peppers cut side up in a baking dish, and set aside.
- Next, make the filling. In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, heat the canola oil. Add the onion and garlic in canola oil, and saute for 5-7 minutes or until soft. Stir in the rice, beans, corn, tomato puree, chili powder and cumin, and continue cooking for 5 minutes or until everything is heated through.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro, then season to taste with hot sauce, salt and pepper. Spoon the rice mixture into the peppers, making sure not to pack too tightly.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until peppers are tender. Sprinkle the tops with cheese and continue baking for 5 minutes longer, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve right away.
