Note: This is a supplemental post on how to plan the Color Run and Raffle portion of the 5K. If you want to know how to plan a 5K in general, go to the post above. ^^^^^^
Edit: I have now created an entire website about planning a 5K and also ebook with forms, spreadsheets and sponsor packets. Go to www.HowtoPlana5K.com to purchase the ebook to have access to the forms we used (including a bonus section about creating color runs)
A few other changes for the 2014 race
1. We had three categories this year: A timed 5K (not typical at color runs, but added participants), a non-timed 5K, and a Sleep In and Hit Snooze Option-best idea ever! These are the people who wanted to donate to the 5K, but couldn't make it that day. We mailed them their official 5K shirt after the race. The price was the same as the color run ($20).
2. The volunteers had tie-dye shirts this year instead of purple ones. They also had to sell at least $30 in raffle tickets to get a tie-dye shirt.
3. We changed the route up this year and people loved it! The same route each year gets boring, this year it went through the azalea trail at SFA.
4. Social media-this year we created a FB page for people to "like". In the past, we have always created events on FB, this time we created an actual page. Go here to like us! :)
5. We had a sign for the participants to take pictures in front of that was donated. Loved it!
Color Run F.A.Q.
Did you need a lot of volunteers?
We planned the 5K the exact same way as a regular 5K, but instead of needing volunteers for a water station only, we needed them for throwing color on the patrons. We had about 6-7 volunteers at each station, and two stations had 1-2 people at the water stops (just before the participants got to the color station).
Edit: I have now created an entire website about planning a 5K and also ebook with forms, spreadsheets and sponsor packets.
Can we make the color?
Well, we started to make it, but that was a disaster! While it was drying, it got mold on it and we couldn't use it. Making your own is MUCH cheaper, but you have to do it correctly, or it will be a waste of time/money. To give you an idea, to make 150 lbs of color powder, it would have been $100, but to buy it, it cost us $675. I am not 100% sure why ours didn't turn out, but I think it had something to do with the water/food color/powder consistency and/or that we stored it in a garage. If you do make it, I would suggest leaving it in a temperature controlled room without a lot of moisture to avoid the mold growth like ours had. Also, when we did make it, we went to a food supplier and bought 50 lb bags of corn starch and then added water/food coloring. You can buy corn starch at Wal-Mart for $1/lb, but we got ours for $20/50 lbs-see a difference? Make a small batch before you decide if it is worth your time and effort. We watched a Youtube video on how to make it.
So, where did you buy the color then?
We bought ours through Chameleon Colors. They were nice, professional, and shipped it to us in a short amount of time. They already have boxes of it made, so we didn't have to wait.
How much color do we need?
We had about a lb per participant. I researched it and it said anywhere from 1-2 lbs per person. We found that 1 lb was plenty for all of participants and we even had some left over! We had a 25 lb unopened box and a little bit of other color as well that we used for the fight at the end.
Did you have a fight at the end?
Yes, in the registration packets we gave all the participants a snack size ziplock bag of color. Plus, we had the leftover color from the color station in a pile in the middle. There was a HUGE cloud of color. Some runs have a color cannon, but we just had them throw it at each other in a 'fight'.
Did you give your participants some in a goodie bag?
Yes, we made snack size ziplock bags of color and gave it to the participants in their goodie bag. They sell color packs where you can buy them already pre-made, but we decided that we didn't need to buy them. They were 'fancy' and we were a small race that didn't need all of that. We added about a handful or two to each ziplock.
Did the color come out of the shirts?
We had a info sheet on how to get rid of the color that we put in their participant bags. I just googled how to get the color out and typed it up in word. I am not sure if it came out, I stayed away from all that color! :)
Was the cleanup bad?
We had four color stations, 1 was easy, 2 were ok, and 1 was a nightmare. 3 of them we put a plastic tarp down to minimize the mess. We got a roll of it at Home Depot for around $20. We laid it down on the ground and duct taped it. The volunteers were on each side, throwing the color. It helped the mess A LOT! At the first stop we were able to use a leaf blower to clean up and it was a breeze. The next two had a few patches that we poured water on, but the last stop was a disaster. They didn't have a plastic sheet down and the color was everywhere! I know that if we didn't have a sheet down on all of them, it would have been a lot worse. We used the left over water from the water station buckets to clean it up, and then refilled them instead of lugging around a water hose. We also had a push broom to help clean up.
What supplies did you buy specifically for the color portion of the race?
We bought plastic sheet roll that is super thin (sort of like those restaurant glove material) to keep the mess minimized. We also bought squeeze bottles (6 for $5 at Sam's) to throw the color and a push broom for clean up (we actually borrowed that). Plus the color too.
Did you have a timed start?
Most color runs do not have a timing system, they just say start and you finish when you finish. I am a runner myself (and love giving out awards) and we figured we would get lot of registrations having both a timed and non-timed race. It was an added expense $800, but it worked out.
Where did you get the awards?
OMG! Aren't they awesome? I wanted something custom made this year, so I looked on Etsy and found a seller that makes custom awards. His name is John and his site is called I Love Geocaching and he is AWESOME to work with. We got them in the shape of Texas and there is a cutout heart where Nacogdoches is, plus our logo. I added a lime green ribbon to make them into ornaments. We also used Crown Trophy to make some plaques for us for the overall winners.
We had the participants wear their white participant shirt (or any white shirt they wanted), but the volunteers had tie-dye shirts to wear. We bought the shirts directly from the manufacture since it would cost about double for the screen printing company to provide them.
Edit: I have now created an entire website about planning a 5K and also ebook with forms, spreadsheets and sponsor packets.
Raffle F.A.Q.'s
How many raffle items did you have?
I believe it was around 44.
How did you get raffle items?
We made a list of the people we wanted to donate and then sent them a letter telling them about Driving Jacks and asked for the donation. We mailed/dropped off/emailed about 140 requests and got back about 50 raffle donations plus sponsors. A lot of them were people we knew that wanted to donate and who had businesses or worked at businesses. People to ask are friends to sell items (like Mary Kay, Scentsy, etc), sports teams, tourist attractions in the area, restaurants, etc.
Who did you sell to?
Everyone! We ran out of time, otherwise we would have set up a table at a grocery store or Walmart type store. We mainly sold them to our friends and family. I personally sold about $400 in tickets, the top person sold almost $700. I tried to post about it on my personal FB page about once a week.
How many people sold raffle tickets?
Ummmm. About 30? I am not sure, but that sounds about right.
What were you 'big' items or top prizes?
An Apple iPad (donated) and a GoPro Camera (bought)
Where did you keep the tickets?
We had a raffle drum that I borrowed from my stepmom. I didn't want to buy one just for this event, but I am glad we had one. I think you can get them for about $100 online, but a lot of elementary schools or car dealerships have them-ask if you can borrow one.
Did you give your top sellers any prizes?
We purchased three gift cards for the top two in sales ($50 and $25) and one random winner ($25). In order to be in the contest, you had to sell over $30 in tickets.
Who drew the winners?
We had someone who did not buy tickets or sell tickets draw the names. I didn't want someone to think it was rigged or anything, so we chose someone who didn't have anything to do with the tickets. We also recorded it for anyone to see (just in case).
Where and when did you host the raffle?
The drawing was held at 11 am the day of the race. We had time to finish cleaning up and then head to the office to draw. I didn't want to lug all the prizes to the start/finish area and then worry about the wind and stuff. It was easier to keep it all in one place.
What did you tickets say?
The State of TX is very specific about what needs to be on the tickets, I'm sure other states do as well. I would check what your state requires. Our tickets had our name, date and time of raffle, address, official rules, and the prize listing on one section.
Were you able to get ahold or everyone?
Yep! We just called the number on the slip. We did leave some voicemails, but they called back right away. You always call back quickly when you win something! It also helps to call everyone, leave messages if you have to, and then go back to the ones who you left messages for. If they see a number a few times, they figure it is someone important.
Did you buy any raffle prizes?
We only bought one item, the GoPro Camera, all others were donated. We needed to get the tickets printed and at that time we only had one 'big' item donated, so we voted to buy the other big item. Some organizations buy all of their big items, but we only needed to buy one.
How much did you end up making from the raffle?
I am not sure the exact totals for the raffle. We had sponsorships and registration fees to add up, but then expenses. It's hard to tell. I do believe that without the raffle, we would have had a lot less profit, probably only about $3,000-$4,000 instead of $8,000. (that could be bad math though!)
Where did you buy the raffle tickets? Did you make them?
I got them online through a printer. We order 4,000 of them and sold probably about 2,500-3,000. I don't have the exact totals in front of me. We spent (with shipping) about $175 on the tickets. I didn't want to print them ourselves because by the time we created them, bought the paper and ink, etc., we would have just spent that time on something else. It is an expense, but worth it.
Edit: I have now created an entire website about planning a 5K and also ebook with forms, spreadsheets and sponsor packets.

Arlene Amaler-Raviv, one of our top South African artists brings a new dimension to the Baxter Theatre, marrying her visual art to performance art. A collection of forty of her art works now adorn the monumental walls of the Baxter Theatre.
This entire collection is available for purchase, Arlene's contact details can be obtained from the Baxter.
View a full collection of Arlene's works at www.amaler-raviv.com
The work shown here is one of 14 panels from the series LIVESTOCK. Each Southern African currency's intricate design and patterning serves as a background for the painted mark. The original notes, worn and torn, have passed through many hands, giving feedback of the history, memories and human lives. Although the works combine banknotes with painted and printed images that relate to each specific country, they also illustrate on a broader level that cattle were central to traditional Africa – from ceremonies to labola, to a measure of wealth and status.
This is a limited edition of forty sets of eleven prints on Hahnemuhle etching paper using archival pigment inks. The original installation is in the collection of Standard Bank in Johannesburg.

Prison sentence for man who fired gun at Whiskey Dick's
A man who was arrested in June after allegedly holding a gun to the head of a South Lake Tahoe man inside a bar has been sentenced to seven years in state prison.
On Feb. 25, El Dorado County Superior Court Judge Suzanne Kingsbury sentenced Scott Enerson to four years in prison for an assault at Whiskey Dick's about 1:45 a.m. on June 3, according to court documents.
Kingsbury also sentenced Enerson to three years in state prison, to be served consecutively to the assault conviction, for using a firearm in the commission of a felony.
According to police, Enerson pulled a loaded handgun from his waistband and held it to the head of a 31-year-old South Lake Tahoe man at the bar.
"A struggle over the gun resulted. During the fight Enerson discharged one round from the weapon, which struck the ceiling of the bar," according to a statement from police following Enerson's arrest. "The weapon malfunctioned after firing this round and was wrestled away from suspect. Enerson was restrained by the victim when officers arrived on scene."
Enerson pleaded no contest to the assault charge in January.
A charge of attempted murder against Enerson was dropped as part of the plea.

We are all about protecting the beauty of a wildlife
It will be best if you will be best if you will be able to visit these places with friends, families and most especially children to educate them about the importance of biodiversity. Have fun in visiting one of the greatest wildlife refuges. These are the five of the great wildlife refuge that you can perhaps visit during your free time. It is really good to know that there are already laws that govern about its protection and preservation. It will be really hard to imagine how the world would look like if these animals and natural habitats have vanished.

In less than three weeks I will be fifty-nine years-old and celebrating my Christmas Eve birthday. For nearly sixty years, people have been asking me if I got gypped on presents because my birthday landed on Christmas? I have replied, "Oh no!" It should be, "Oh no, and give me a gift for the aggravation of being asked one more time!"
In reality, I'd wake up on the morning of the twenty-fourth and before breakfast would sit on the sofa taking audience like a princess, surrounded by family and would open my birthday gifts. I had other gifts awaiting under the tree for the Christmas Eve festivities, however dinner had to be eaten and dishes washed before our family opened those presents. Santa would visit later that night and we three kids would run into the living room on Christmas morning to see toys everywhere, leaning up against the walls, laid out under the tree, stretching out to the middle of our living room. That's how it went down year after year when I was a child. We always figured it was my dad's way of making up for having gone through the Depression with few toys. He enjoyed seeing us oozing with happiness.
After decades of wrapping paper and bows, it doesn't really matter if I receive gifts any longer. I have enough stuff. Verbal gifts are wonderful and so is sharing company with a good friend. When someone says they like reading my columns in the paper or enjoyed seeing me play a role in a local theater production, these are great gifts. A suitable President for our country along with removing all the greedy elves from the workshop would be the best gift, but I doubt that will arrive by Christmas Eve!
It's fun to give people gifts. Back in the eighties, my older brother went into a beige phase which caused me concern. He only wore clothing in shades of beige, tan, taupe, linen, buff, mushroom, oatmeal, let's not forget bone...or parchment and its kissin' cousin...hazel. One Christmas, knowing he needed an intervention, I gave him his gift, "The BEIGE Box." It was wrapped in brown shipping paper, and filled with as many beige items as I could find, such as Band Aids, masking tape, putty, rubber bands, a card of buttons, Dr. Scholl's moleskin, an ACE bandage and an unwrapped Bit-O-Honey to sweeten the joke. It has become a fond memory for us at Christmastime. I report that my brother moved out of his beige phase and never went back. He has made a full recovery, because last summer I was delighted when I saw him in an enterprising plaid shirt of turquoise and watermelon, with white in the weave as well, to give rest to the eyes.
One year I received quite an odd gift. I had offended someone because they made tuna salad as a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner. Thinking it an odd choice, I made what I considered humorous, but apparently hurtful, comments about it. A month later I opened my Christmas gift from them and received all the ingredients needed to make tuna salad. A rather clever comeback on their part.
This year for Christmas I'd like to have all the answers. All these years of experiences have come and gone and I still haven't "figured it out yet," or maybe I really have and I'm waiting for someone to show up at my door with a big certificate of acknowledgement, like a Publisher's Clearing House event. That would be a nice gift! We are taught as mere punks that our smarts earn us a report card and we get the impression we are figuring it all out. Somewhere around eighteen, or the mid-twenties if you go on to college, that chapter ends and we flounder for the rest of our days wondering if we will ever arrive. We know the Dalai Lama has arrived. How? We just know. The majority of us seem to rely on others to tell us if we have arrived somewhere on the "figured it out" chart. If nobody ever tells you how brilliant, profound or wise you are then you probably slipped through the crack and need to try harder, or run for President. I trumped myself on that one.
What about self-help for Christmas? I mean it, seriously. To be nearly sixty and lacking in structure is an issue, so perhaps I need some self-help, habit-forming tips. I start routines and they don't last. I miss out on regular exercise, can't persevere in popping gaggingly-large, ugly, sometimes beige vitamins and holistic supplements that could be very beneficial to me. I rarely even make my bed. When I do I am always reminded that "Mother," the queen of routine, always made her bed. She was making her bed moments before she died. I'll probably be drinking a Morgan Coke and wearing a feathered hat when I make my departure. But I always think of her as I smooth on the bedspread in an attempt to make the process routine, sometimes commenting out loud, "Mother, you are laughing at me, I know it."
Writing Christmas cards isn't in my routine anymore either. Does anyone send cards? Last weekend I was in the basement storage space under the steps digging in a green Rubbermaid tote with red handles. Toward the bottom of the tote, pressed to the side was a box of Christmas cards. I thought, "Oh, I should send out a few cards." I slid them up the side of the tote, turning the box over to reveal the card front through the clear plastic. The words "Merry & Bright" were written in white with poinsettias and holly greenery adrift around the words. In sarcasm and aggravation, I thought, "What a joke!" North Korea is as unstable as me in stilettos, Matt Prowler is in the headlines every day with new women coming forward to accuse and now Keillor, too. What the hell is "Merry & Bright" about this state of affairs!
Santa will be delivering lumps of coal and bushels of sticks this year. I feel it's all unraveling faster than a kitten pulling on the red ball of yarn that's supposed to be my Ugly Christmas Eve sweater! How can it be that all these women waited until now to come forward? They accomplished all that professional training, lived lives of intense routine with successfull diet and exercise, then in 2017 many are deciding they've come far enough to not be quiet any longer? Up until now their careers were worth the silence? I do lack some understanding here and surmise that if I'd been in their situations some nut crackin' would have ensued. I will say this however....if Meryl comes out...then I'll eat crow on this one.
Yes, "Merry & Bright!" I wondered how long has it been since anyone could send out a card saying that in all honesty? I mean, you probably could if you were in a steady relationship with Captain Morgan and Jim Beam and absolutely never watched the news! A toast to isolation with spirits and ice! A bottle of spirits may be a fine gift to myself this year as a matter of fact.
Oh come, all ye faithful. Let's dispense with the doom and gloom and be a bit joyful and triumphant! Surely there are still things to be thankful and festive about these days! A card that says "Merry & Bright" might just be a reminder to DO this and to BE this. Let's look deeper, reach out and grab one another by the hand and move ahead into 2018. I'll raise my spirits as I continue to avoid routine! The big beige vitamins will sit in the pill box, the bedspread will drape down onto the rug at the end of my bed, and I'll eat peanut butter star cookies under a cozy quilt, avoiding that healthy walk. I steadfastly find pleasure in things like sparkly red velvet gloves, singing a holiday tune, hugging my cats, sharing time with my son and keeping company with people who are ages one to one-hundred and trying to make sense of it all just like me.

Tired People Never Lose Weight
Weight loss is a multi-billion dollar industry, world-wide. Unfortunately, it is acknowledged that there is as much nonsense in
the industry as there is proper science.
Greg Fitzgerald has made a 30 year study of health & has spent countless hours researching the topic of weight problems in our culture today.
It is a fact that there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of weight-loss programs over the years. All of them claim some success & all of them have some proponents. Any weight-loss plan, if adhered to, will lose weight. That is not difficult. As Dr Joel Fuhrman states in his book 'Fasting & Eating for Health': chemotherapy or heroin addiction will also lose weight, but we want to lose it in a healthy manner'.
Unfortunately with many of the countless "diets" recommended for weight loss, they simply do not confer improved health at the same time as the weight is lost.
For example, the very controversial high-protein Atkins diet, is NOT recommended for pregnant women or breast feeding mothers & this is admitted by the Atkins staff!
How natural can a dietary program really be if a natural event like pregnancy is put at risk if the diet is followed? More than that, though, the high-protein diet is dangerous for reasons outlined in the ground-breaking book "The China Study" by Professor T. Colin Campbell.
In people's minds, the word diet means a temporary way of eating to achieve weight loss. The problem is the Yo-Yo syndrome. Follow the diet, weight comes off; relax the diet, weight returns. This leads to frustration & sadly, health problems.
It is a scientific fact that women who yo-yo with their weight have a drammatically increased risk of developing gall stones.
It is also a fact which Greg has been saying for over 20 years ( & which has been scientifically proven only recently) that TIRED PEOPLE NEVER LOSE WEIGHT!
When the principles Greg shares are followed, weight loss is rapid & permanent, & the person 's health improves drammatically. This is not only because of less weight, but more so because the person becomes less TOXIC.
Becoming less toxic means gaining more energy. More energy means a more efficient metabolism. This results in the person moving towards their ideal weight & their ideal health. People then become cleaner, lighter & younger!
The resultant detoxification & weight loss allows people to get the best out of themselves by GETTING THE WORST OUT!
Our approach to weight loss is based on natural, scientific principles. There are no gimmicks, no fads but plenty of pleasing results.
Our consultations explain the reason why tired people never lose weight & why nutritarian eating is the surest, safest & quickest
way to shed excess kilos.

Insert Tables in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows
Learn how to insert a table in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows.
Author: Geetesh Bajaj
Product/Version: Microsoft PowerPoint 2013
OS: Windows 7 and 8
March 3rd 2014
We all use tables in our slides all the time to present numeric data in an organized way so that the audience can easily comprehend or compare values and understand trends. Sometimes tables may even work as containers for quotations or even messages. It's quite easy to insert a new table -- yet there's more than one way to do this simple task. Which option you choose to insert a table in PowerPoint 2013 depends upon whether your slide contains a Content placeholder or not.
Choose a section below that applies to how you want to create a new table:
Insert Table on a Slide with the Blank Layout
Navigate to the slide with the Blank
Layout in your presentation. Then select
the Insert tab (highlighted in red within Figure 1) of the
Ribbon. Within this tab, click the Table
button (highlighted in blue within Figure 1) to bring up the
Table drop-down gallery, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Table drop-down gallery
Let's explore all options within the Table drop-down gallery, as marked within Figure 1, above:
- Topmost section within the Table drop-down gallery is a set of cells arranged in rows and columns,
as shown highlighted in red within Figure 2. Hover your cursor over the set of
cells starting from the top-left corner to choose how many rows and columns you need for your table. Figure 2
shows cells in 3 columns and 4 rows highlighted. When you hover your cursor over these cells, you can also see a
live preview of the table being inserted on the
active slide as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Cells highlighted to indicate the number of columns and rows in the table to be added
Once the required number of rows and columns are highlighted, just click to place an empty table containing the specified number of rows and columns on the active slide as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Table inserted on the blank slide
- Insert Table: Selecting this option brings up the Insert Table dialog box as shown in
Figure 4. In this dialog box, enter the required number of columns and rows within the boxes provided and
click the OK button.
Figure 4: Insert Table dialog box
This will place an empty table containing the specified number of rows and columns on the active slide as shown in Figure 3, earlier on this page.
- Draw Table: When you select this option the cursor changes to a pencil icon as shown highlighted in
red, within Figure 5. Place your cursor on the
slide area where you want to draw the table -- then,
click and drag to draw the table's outer borders in the same way as you drag and draw to
insert a shape. While drawing, you will see dashed lines
to indicate the extent of the table's area.
Figure 5: Table being drawn on the slide
Once the outer borders of your table are drawn, you can continue with drawing table cells as explained in our Draw Tables in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows tutorial.
- Excel Spreadsheet: This option inserts a typical Excel sheet with two rows and two columns on your
PowerPoint slide as shown in Figure 6. You can use the selection handles on the border of this sheet
(highlighted in red within Figure 6) to increase the number of rows and columns,
as required.
Figure 6: Excel Spreadsheet on the slide
Once the required number of rows and columns are in place, just click your mouse away from this Excel sheet to place a table on the active slide. However, PowerPoint doesn't consider this as a native table -- rather this is essentially an Excel object -- learn more in our Insert Excel Objects in PowerPoint 2013 tutorial.
Select any of the above options as required to insert a table on the slide.
Insert a Table within a Content placeholder
- In a slide with a Content placeholder (the palette of six icons that you see in
Figure 7), click the Insert Table icon, shown highlighted in red within
Figure 7.
Figure 7: Insert Table icon within the content placeholder
- This brings up the same Insert Table dialog box that you saw in Figure 4, earlier on
this page. In this dialog box, enter the required number of columns and rows for your table and click the OK
- This will insert a table within the Content placeholder on your active slide, as shown in
Figure 8. The number of rows and columns may be different depending upon the choices you made.
Figure 8: Table inserted within the Content placeholder
Once you add a table, you can:
- Populate the table cells with content you type (or paste from the clipboard)
- Import Excel/Word Tables into PowerPoint
- Add or remove columns or rows
- Merge and split cells
- Format tables with the Table Styles feature
Make sure to save your presentation often.

text: ChieftainT 0 Posted September 4, 2014 Hello, I've purchased an Alcor three days ago and I've been satisfied with it except for one thing which is it's main buttons. They kind of just wobble to the sides a bit which didn't happen with my old Gigabyte MX8000. It just feels like something wasn't screwed in properly or some part isn't in place it should be in. I've been wondering if it's a legit reason to go to the store i bought my unit in and request a replacement, or maybe it's how it was supposed to be? I'd appreciate a quick response. Thank you. Edit: This wobble isn't a standard wobble. It's very noticeable and it has a very annoying "click" when you move it to the sides. It shows more in the right click than it does in the left.

Fancy Pants App: Spanikopita
It was so delicious that was one of the (many) highlights for John who was still talking about it when we got back from Europe. We have a great Greek place in Queens that we go to all the time: it's close by, it's fast, and it's (most important) cheap! I always get a side of spanikopita to go; I knew it was high time I could make it myself.
There's something awesome about trying to recreate your favorite recipe at home. It doesn't always come out perfect or right the first time, but that just makes it all the sweeter when you actually succeed. That's how it was with Spanikopita. It wasn't hard, but I wanted to get the right ratio of spinach and dough. The flaky phyllo dough, the hearty spinach, and, every so often, delicious creamy feta cheese. It's the perfect make ahead dish to pop in while watching the game or serving as a side.
Spanikopita (adapted from here)
Serves: 8 (9x9 inch pan)
16 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 onion, diced
1/4 cup dill, chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup butter, melted
16 phyllo dough sheets
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x9 baking sheet. Combine spinach, onion, dill, parsley, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and feta. Pour into the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
Layer one sheet of phyllo dough on top of the spinach mixture. Brush lightly with butter and top with the next sheet. Continue until all sheets are used. Score the top layer of phyllo in 8 triangles. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and cut the phyllo through using the score marks. Serve immediately or freeze individually and microwave when desired.
Until the next time my oven is on...

Oh yum! My MIL used to make this at evey occasion and as she has gotten older hasn't made it in years. Maybe I should use your recipe and take over for her. This looks wonderful.ReplyDelete

Learn to make knives… the MTK way!
My first time teaching people to learn to make knives went really well!
During The 2017 Survival Podcast's Spring Workshop this past month I helped eight people to make their very first handmade knife! It was an amazing experience! When Jack asked me to help people learn to make knives with this class I really wanted them to come away knowing something about knifemaking and I think they did! It was my first time teaching a class like this and I was a little concerned that I wouldn't have enough time to teach everyone to make their knives in the short time that I had available to me. Especially since I was just one instructor among 15 different breakout workshops!
Thankfully, […]

192.168.1.254 Router Password – Admin, Password List and Setup
What is 192.168.1.254
Broadband router manufacturers generally allow users to setup and configure the router settings through their web browsers. You just have to connect the browser to your computer and enter the default private IP address in the address bar of your browser.
The default IP address is factory set and is usually begins with 192.168. Some of the popular brands as given below use 192.168.1.254 as their default private IP Address.
- some 3Com OfficeConnect routers
- Netopia / Cayman Internet gateways
- Billion ADSL routers
- Linksys SRW2024 managed switches
- Westell modems for Bellsouth DSL Internet service in the U.S.
192.168.1.254 Router Password
Alongwith the default Private IP Address, these manufacturers also set a default username and password. Users are allowed to change these default password settings. But in case they forget the changed admin and password details, they can use the hardware reset button to change all the settings to the default settings. In this process the password is also reset to the factory default value.
The list of the default passwords of some of the most common brands and models of broadband routers are as given below.

Pelicans' Eric Gordon back at practice after missing 21 games
New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Eric Gordon, who has missed 21 games with a shoulder injury, has returned to practice and says he might play in Monday night's home game against Washington.
Gordon says his status against the Wizards will likely be decided shortly before tip-off, after he's had a chance to participate in a shoot around early Monday and pregame warmups that evening.
Gordon averaged 9.5 points through the first 12 games of the season before going down hard on his left shoulder during a victory at Utah on Nov. 22.
Pelicans coach Monty Williams says Gordon "looked pretty good", and that the seventh-year veteran's conditioning is better than he expected.
Williams says Gordon just needs to get his timing back and re-establish chemistry with his teammates.

So I just started playing MTGA, their online component similar to Hearthstone. I started playing Hearthstone in its beta form back in January of 2014 and now I'm playing MTGA while it's still in beta. I've noticed that for some reason when I begin playing a game before its proper release I tend to stick with it longer. For example I started playing Counter-Strike when it was still only a mod and in beta. I ended up playing that for like 8 years or something absurd. I took a year off of Hearthstone but have generally played it every day. I'm a casual player these days but for the first 2 years or more I played it for hours and hours every day. I started off as a terrible player and slowly became an adequate player. I remember placing top 3 in a 256 player tournament and actually earning real money for it. I've only ever gotten up to top 250 legend or so which isn't exactly that great but it's still better than thousands and thousands of others. I'm starting Magic at a similar point. I'm terrible and lose the majority of my matches but I can see myself flourishing if given the proper time investment. Strategic analytical games are my forte it seems. And it is highly rewarding when you win against a competent opponent.
Magic is significantly more complex than Hearthstone and the game has been around for 25 years. There are millions of players, maybe tens of millions. So I'm starting off way behind. But I feel that my experience with Hearthstone is not in vain as some of the principles carry over. But since I was able to achieve competency in that game it gives me hope that I can do the same here.
Time will tell.

Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport has become a leading European and international airport, the quality of its facilities and services and the extension works carried out have brought it major international awards and acclaim over recent years endorsing its past trajectory.
In 2008 Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport received the ACI Europe (Airports Council International) award for Best European Airport for its "successful expansion and its efforts to offer passengers the highest service quality and comparatively low airport taxes". In 2007, the airport was named one of the world's top ten airports and number one in Southern Europe in a survey undertaken by Skytrax, the airline research and observation agency.
Since its opening, Terminal T4 has also received numerous awards from European and international institutions. Examples of these awards are the RIBA Stirling 2006 or the RIBA European Awards 2006, awarded by the Royal Institute of British Architects; the IStructurE Award for Commercial or Retail Structures 2006, from the Institution of Structural Engineers; the Award for Architecture and Town Planning from Madrid City Council; the International Architecture Awards 2007, awarded by the Chicago Athenaeum; the award for Best Engineering Project 2005 given by the Spanish Engineering Institute and third place in the Best International Terminal at the 2013 World Airport Awards.
Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas was given the following awards: Best Global Airport 2011, given by the British Institute of Transport Management (ITM) for its "leading position among world airports", in addition to being "an environmentally responsible airport"; the 'Pilot Friendly' award given by the Spanish Union of Airline Pilots (SEPLA), for the joint efforts made by both organisations to "build safe and reliable infrastructures". In 2011 it was also named the airport with best architectural design in the world by National Geographic Traveller magazine; "piece of a perfect airport"; and fifth best airport in the world by Condé Nast Traveller magazine. In 2012, it was given Gold Fast Travel Award (IATA) for the "measures adopted to facilitate and speed up airport formalities for passengers and increased efficiency by reducing check-in and boarding costs".
In 2014, the airport was given the Tourism Industry Tribute Award by Madrid City Council and Best International Airport at the CAPA Awards for the over 25 million passenger category.

These pictures are from our travels as well as the lovely home of our hosts Phyl and Ev Ressler. Phyl was such a wonderful hostess and talented chef, filling us with croissants in the morning and cheese at night! She made us a delicious pasta with fresh pure ingredients like roasted red peppers, ground almonds and pine nuts, crisp salads with every meal and provided plates of picturesque tangerines and pears. There was also always a tin of chocolate available to nibble. Although they are American they truly adopted the French attitude towards the importance of food and where it comes from. In fact, Phyl's next course is on the Anthropology of food, wish I could sit in on that one!
I couldn't not post something about the food in France. It really is a different experience to eat there. There isn't that fear of fat that is so ingrained in us here, instead there is a true enjoyment of food as a social event. We ate rich cheeses, bread, chocolate and pastries but I swear I actually lost a pound or two while there. I think it was mostly due to how slowly I ate, you had wine and conversation to stop you from cramming all that rich food greedily down your throat. Eating slowly made you feel full sooner and therefore you ate less. I am still committed to eating as Vegan as possible now that I'm back, especially since hubby is a super strict one, but I think Dani and I will have to get together for french food night every once in a while. It's all about moderation! The most important thing is to have as much knowledge about your food as possible and to eat as cleanly as possible, avoid processed foods, eat fresh and local. The past 2 years of eating almost Vegan and being super aware of our food and where it comes from made eating in France a delight since most French people subscribe to those same ideas.
Want to eat like a french person?
Breakfast- traditional tartine- a baguette split, toasted and slathered in butter and jam with a bowl of cafe au lait.
Lunch- 2 tiny sandwiches aux fromage- YUM!
Gouter (french late afternoon snack)- small pain aux raisins
Dinner- fondue, raclette or tartiflette- all cheese and carbs and all delicious!! Follow with a salad, chocolate and herb tea.
That is my idea of Parfait!!

Another Week, Another Award For A Saints Player, Trever Adams Earns Pointstreak American Association Player of the WeekST. PAUL, MN August 8, 2016
It was a short week for the St. Paul Saints in terms of the amount of games played. With the three-day All-Star break plus a rare Sunday off day, the Saints played just three games, but in that one series Trever Adams put up eye-popping numbers good enough to earn him the Pointstreak American Association Player of the Week.
For the week Adams was 5-10 with a triple, two home runs and five RBI with five runs scored. For the second time this season Adams clubbed two home runs in a game doing so on Friday night.
He got his week started by going 2-4 on Thursday night in a 7-6 Saints victory over the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks. With the Saints down 3-2 in the third Adams singled home Brady Burzynski to tie the game at three. In the fifth, with the game tied at four, Adams gave the Saints the lead for good with a two-run triple.
On Friday night Adams cut a 2-0 deficit in half with a solo homer to right. In the ninth he tried to help the Saints mount a comeback with a towering solo homer to left. He went 3-4 with two home runs, two RBI and two runs scored.
Despite not collecting a hit on Saturday, going 0-2, he did walk twice and scored two runs, including drawing a one out walk in the eighth with the Saints trailing by a run. He would eventually score the tying run as the Saints won 5-3.
On the season Adams is hitting .283 with six home runs and 15 RBI in 16 games since joining the Saints on July 17. In 60 at bats he has scored 14 runs, has two doubles, two triples, a .362 on base percentage and a .683 slugging percentage for an impressive 1.046 OPS.
Prior to joining the Saints the 27-year old Adams was playing for Triple-A Round Rock this season where he was hitting .184 with two home runs and 12 RBI. He started off the season with eight RBI in his first two games, including a five RBI performance on June 11 at Iowa. Last season Adams began the season at Round Rock and hit .216 with three home runs and 10 RBI in 25 games. He finished the season at Double-A Frisco and hit .230 with seven home runs and 32 RBI in 94 games.
Adams was chosen in the 16th round by the Texas Rangers in 2011 out of Creighton University. He had a solid first couple of seasons where he hit .270 with one home run and 36 RBI at Low-A Spokane and finished second in the league in doubles with 20 in 2011. In 2012 he hit .286 with nine home runs and 67 RBI in 111 games. He hit safely in 14 straight from July 7-24 and collected an RBI in six straight from August 18-23. The recognition followed over the next two seasons.
In 2013 he spent the entire season at High-A Myrtle Beach and hit .257 with 11 home runs and a career high 82 RBI in a career high 135 games. In 506 at bats he scored 69 runs, slugged 28 doubles, two triples, a .333 on base percentage and a .385 slugging percentage. He was named a Post-Season All-Star and finished second in games played and fourth in RBI. He reached the playoffs for the first time in his career.
In 2014 Adams had one of his best overall seasons when he spent the entire season at Double-A Frisco and hit .278 with 14 home runs and 61 RBI in 125 games. In 482 at bats he scored 71 runs, crushed 36 doubles, two triples, had a .334 on base percentage and a .448 slugging percentage. He was once again selected as a Post-Season All-Star and finished first in the league in slugging percentage, second in extra base hits (52), doubles and total bases (216), third in hits (134) and runs, fourth in RBI and seventh in average. His team once again made the playoffs.
This is the second Player of the Week Award for the Saints with catcher Tony Caldwell earning the honor from June 13-19. The Saints have earned three Pitcher of the Week Awards, all by Mark Hamburger, receiving it for the week of May 23-29, July 4-10 and July 25-31. Hamburger also earned the Player of the Month for July.

"For many years, I was on the Johns Hopkins Admissions Committee for the medical school," says Dr. Georgia B. Vogelsang. "About once a year, you would see a kid who had come through incredible odds—didn't know their dad, mom was in jail, came up through foster care or had been passed from one relative to another—but they had made it, and it just takes your breath away. They had broken the cycle because something had happened that gave them a chance." Dr. Georgia Vogelsang's gift to BCF's Civic Leadership Endowment qualifies for a state Endow Maryland tax credit--an arrangement she calls "brilliant."
That is how she sees the Endow Maryland program, which since January 2015 magnifies gifts to permanent charitable funds at qualified community foundations in the state. Your gift of between $500 and $2,500 to our Civic Leadership Endowment or Invest in Baltimore Endowment may qualify for a 25% state tax credit on your 2019 tax return.
Dr. Vogelsang has directed her gift to the Civic Leadership Endowment at the Baltimore Community Foundation and says she hopes Endow Maryland "is a raging success." Her interest was piqued, she says, when she listened to a BCF "20-Minute Update" call and thought, "This is brilliant."
She is a firm believer in the benefits of good government. "Partnering with government to achieve goals makes sense to me," she says. "BCF partners with City Schools to push education forward, and it seemed a good match with my interests."
Vogelsang inherited a rich family legacy of civic engagement from her grandfather. "He was a county commissioner in rural North Carolina for about 40 years," she recalls. "He was a rare Roosevelt Democrat who believed in equality in a profoundly racist, reactionary time and place. He made huge progress because he stood up for what he believed—and I saw what good government could do for the people."
Her passion for education and philanthropy came directly from her grandmother, whose parents refused her wish to attend college. "She worked her way through," Vogelsang says, "scrubbing floors and cleaning the outhouse to pay her tuition. She became a teacher and saw kids who were smart but dirt poor and had no chance to go to college during the Depression. So even though she and my grandfather were not wealthy, she sent checks anonymously to pay for their tuition."
Vogelsang looks at Baltimore City children who are living in difficult circumstances and wants them to have that chance to make it past the odds. "If you expose them to another version of the world, they light up and take off," she says. "Figuring out how to do that is what the Civic Leadership Fund is about."
She first learned about BCF from her financial advisor after expressing frustration that her philanthropic efforts had no direction. "He said, 'Have I got an organization for you!' and explained how BCF works," she remembers. "I said, 'It sounds perfect.'"
So in 2006, she opened a BCF donor-advised fund. Now "quasi-retired" as a doctor specializing in stem cell research, she helps edit the hematology medical journal, Blood, and directs the income to her fund, as well as royalties from her textbook on graft vs. host disease.
"You don't make a lot of money doing what I do," she says, "but I think it's important to give back—and BCF provides good mechanisms by which you can give back. They maximize what you give; your money goes farther. It seems like a win-win for everyone."

Fixed some typos -
Yes - I ordered the new 4G Samsung extender, recieved it within 24 hours (Sat. - that was pretty cool) and tried to install it yesteday. Spent hours watching it hang up on step "11b of 14." Per instruction manual called and spoke to a VERY nice and helpful cust serv. rep. about 4 times (she was good enough to call back to check in), but we never got past 11b which she said was some kind of "software update." Hit the reset button, changed the router port, blah blah blah. She said she could see that my 4G extender device was communicating with Verizon. Per her instructions I am sending it back today.

Love this new hashtag that's going around. I don't want to post on my own Twitter/Facebook account, but I thought I'd do it here, just to get it out. I've been very open about my past relationship with an abusive guy. Let it all out here girls, if you wish.
He threatened to kill me and/or my family if I left him #WhyIStayed
He promised he would change and this would be the last time he hit me #WhyIStayed
He told me he loved me and I believed him #WhyIStayed

Neighbourhood: Wellington
Price: From $430 per night for a weeklong summer stay (rates increase for shorter stays)
The place
A totally renovated three-bedroom bungalow on the Prince Edward County lakeshore, owned by a senior manager at the Drake Hotel in Toronto.
The host initially bought the place without even seeing the interior. She knew she was going to renovate, and the view was worth it:
The vintage rocking chair originally belonged to the host's grandparents, and the dining room table is from her childhood home:
There's a cozy sitting room in front of the stone fireplace, which the host found hiding under a marble facade installed by the previous owners:
The kitchen backsplash is made of Sabine Hill cement tiles, purchased from a co-worker after a Drake General Store renovation:
They're also found on the floor of the master ensuite:
The master bedroom has sliding doors that open onto the massive deck:
There's also a light-drenched sunroom:
And bunkbeds for the kids (or playful grownups):
The history
After searching for a cottage in the county for a few years, the host bought this bungalow in 2015. She completely gutted the space, replacing everything from the electrical and plumbing systems to the roof and windows. She also tore down some walls inside to create an airy, open-concept layout. The only original element is the stone fireplace.
Major perks
The home's quirky-cool style is somewhat reminiscent of the décor at the Drake Devonshire, which is located a kilometre and a half down the road.
Possible deal breaker
Unlike at the Drake Devonshire (or any other hotel), this place has no built-in restaurant or games room.
By the numbers
• 1,800 square feet
• $430 per night
• 8 guests
• 3 bedrooms
• 2 bathrooms
• 1 soaker tub
• 1 bunkbed

What Should America Do About Egyptian Aid?
United States foreign policy vis-à-vis Egypt must acknowledge the role Islam plays in Egyptian politics.
For the third time this week, your humble blogger explores the burgeoning political crisis in Egypt. I have stated that "The Muslim Brotherhood will forever be an impediment to democratic politics" and asked "Does Egypt have any hope of establishing a democracy free from Islamist and military oppression"? What policies should the Obama administration pursue to encourage the establishment of an Egyptian democracy that serves as a stabilizing force in a Mid-East littered with Islamist regimes? Thankfully, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton weighs in on the issue of continued American aid to Egypt in today's Wall Street Journal. (following block quote excerpted from "Cutting Off Aid to Egypt Would Be a Mistake" By JOHN BOLTON Wall Street Journal 7/11/13)
In the midst of Egypt's political disarray and economic collapse, what should America's policy be?
Many Americans, concerned that a "democratically elected" government has been ousted, argue that we should, as current law requires, terminate assistance to Egypt until another election takes place. This view is wrong on several counts.
First, while the Muslim Brotherhood prevailed in the 2012 elections, it worked assiduously… [towards] its ultimate objective of an Islamist state.
Second, democracy rests on much more than simply conducting elections. … the Brotherhood's single-minded focus under President Morsi—to establish a harsh theocracy that would put an end to freedom of conscience and dissent—was manifestly unacceptable.
Had the army hesitated beyond last week, instability, carnage and the threat to any prospect of a free, open society would likely have been much worse.
It follows that cutting off U.S. assistance to Egypt now would be seriously mistaken, as would pressuring other donors to withhold financial assistance to rescue Egypt's economy from the deepening morass that Mr. Morsi let it become. Such cutbacks also would send exactly the wrong political message to the factions within Egypt, the Middle East more broadly, and America's friends and allies world-wide. Congress should make a quick, technical statutory fix that allows U.S. aid to continue despite the coup.
Plainly this is the time for American leadership—not to sort out Egypt's manifold internal political difficulties, but to assert a clear-eyed view of America's enduring interests in the Middle East. Let's hope the Obama administration wakes up in time.
To his credit, Ambassador Bolton correctly includes mention of Islamic theology in his analysis. Any discussion about United States foreign policy vis-à-vis Egypt must acknowledge the role Islam plays in Egyptian politics. By "Grizzly Joe"
