Tidy Towns (Ireland)
Tidy Towns (Irish: Bailte Slachtmhara) is an annual competition, first held in 1958, organised by the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment in order to honour the tidiest and most attractive cities, towns and villages in Ireland. The competition is organised on a national basis, and entrants must complete modules including Overall Developmental Approach (5-year plan), The Built Environment, Landscaping, Wildlife & Natural Amenities, Litter Control, Tidiness, Waste Minimisation, Residential Areas, Roads and Streets & Back Areas.
The Competition is judged during the summer months (May to August) by an independent adjudicator, who issues each town with a written report complimenting positive development and actions and providing positive suggestions on how the community can improve their general surroundings.
This competition covers many aspects of environment and prizes are awarded to winners of all areas. Other than that, there's an overall winner which is named as "Ireland's Tidiest Town" which is announced at the end of competition every September.[1]

If you judge a restaurant's success by how long a line of customers it attracts, then Shake Shack is surely a winner. The popular burger and shake chain attracts multitudes of devotees to its nearly 20 units in the U.S. and abroad. What's its secret? CEO Randy Garutti joins us to share:
- how Shake Shack was a "total accident"
- how the bigger they get, the smaller they have to act
- what criteria he uses for deciding where/when to open new units
Randy brings quite an impressive background to his current role. Previously he oversaw the operations for Union Square Hospitality Group, Danny Meyer's company which owns Shake Shack. His success there was recognized by Crain's which included him on the Top 40 under 40 list. He was also the GM for several restaurants including Canlis in Seattle and was named one of the Top 50 General Managers in the country by Nation's Restaurant News. You can follow Randy on Twitter at @randygarutti.
See you on line at Shake Shack!

58 Beth & Scott
Beth says,
"Where do I start...I NEED this BIG FAT JACK Wedding I am totally head over heals in love with Scott, 4 months pregnant and saving every penny we have to be able to afford a wedding (unfortunately no rich mummy and daddy for us just very hard working but skint ones.) After going round and round in circles looking for a wedding that we aren't going to be paying for, for the rest of our lives I'm left feeling that we are never going to get there. We've more or less set a date, made a guest list and chosen our colours and themes but alas I still can't make everything fit in our budget! And although to be honest as long as I end up married to the man of my dreams I'm quite happy to pop to the local registry office and then head to the pub with close family and friends there is still a little part of me that wants to be a princess on my wedding day (lets face it what girl doesn't) I love Scott completely and can't wait to meet our baby please help me to get the last piece of my puzzle and make me Mrs. Hudson! I promise with all my heart not to become a bridezilla"

The Poet X
IndieBound | Amazon | B&N | Goodreads
A young girl in Harlem discovers slam poetry as a way to understand her mother's religion and her own relationship to the world. Debut novel of renowned slam poet Elizabeth Acevedo.
Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking.
But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about. With Mami's determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself.
So when she is invited to join her school's slam poetry club, she doesn't know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out, much less speak her words out loud. But still, she can't stop thinking about performing her poems.
Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent.

From New York City
Our engagement story
We both quit our careers in finance at the same time and traveled to Southeast Asia for 3 weeks. Daniel had watched a movie about magic tricks on the plane ride over and decided to propose using a card trick. We were in an incredibly beautiful place called HaLong Bay on an overnight boat and the passengers were going on an excursion. Daniel convinced me to stay behind, saying that he'd rather read (he "inceptioned" me by planting the seed that it would be awesome to relax and read and then I ultimately made the decision for us to stay behind). As we were lounging on the deck, he pulled out a deck of cards. He had me pick a card and then proceeded to spend 5 minutes shuffling the cards in different ways. He then showed me a card that wasn't mine and said, "well, if that's not your card, then your card is under your chair". Under my chair was the 7 of diamonds (my favorite number and my last name) with "will you marry me" written on it.
Why we chose The Black Stallion
We had a few ceremony locations in mind, but we fell in love with the spot on the golf course when we visited in 2015. It was beautiful and so close to our reception site! We didn't want a "traditional" wedding in a ballroom. We wanted to have as much of the reception outside as possible. The Black Stallion is the largest house in the Outer Banks and has a lot of outdoor space, which was amazing because we could have the entire reception outside!
Why we chose the outer banks
We wanted a destination that was exotic and fun, but not too far for the majority of our guests that are mostly from the Northeast. Our wedding was only our second time in the Outer Banks! We are now planning to vacation there regularly.
Some unique touches
We wrote our own vows for the ceremony and really made sure that the entire thing was about us. Daniel's uncle officiated the wedding and one of my best friends did a reading. We really optimized our reception for fun - we didn't have a sit-down dinner, had a bourbon bar during the cocktail hour, had the biggest dance floor that we could and played so much fun dance music.
We decided early on that we were going to make everything in our ceremony and reception fit our personality and not include anything we didn't want. We didn't do a wedding cake or toss the bouquet, it didn't feel very "us". Daniel did a dance with his three sisters, which was really special - and at the end they pulled his dad onto the dance floor. It was a very touching moment and definitely honored his mom's memory.
Some stories from the wedding
On the morning of our wedding, Daniel went to breakfast with his dad. It wasn't planned. Daniel was kicked out of our room pretty early so that the girls could get ready and they made an impromptu decision to have a father-son moment. The morning after our wedding, we woke up around 8am - so excited to be married! So, the two of us went to breakfast together (at the same place). Thinking back on it, Dan had breakfast with his closest living relative both mornings and it just happened to be two different people!
When we woke up the morning after the wedding. We quickly realized that Zoe was not in the room with us. Panicked, we ran outside screaming her name and then into the main house calling out to her. We were on the verge of tears when my mom told us that she slept with her the night before!
Advice for other engaged couples planning a wedding
Definitely hire Kerri! She was truly amazing and a life saver! At the very least hire a day-of-coordinator, you want to enjoy your day and soak in every moment!
Don't sweat the small stuff - at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what the flowers look like, how your bridesmaids style their hair or where people sit - it is about surrounding yourselves with your closest friends and family to celebrate your love.
Buy a pair of wedge sneakers! My feet were killing me by the end of the cocktail hour (even though I broke in my shoes). I didn't have to worry about my dress dragging on the ground because I had a pair of Nike wedge sneakers. No one even noticed and I was able to dance the night away!
I wish that we hired our photographers until the end of the night. They did an AMAZING job, but there were some great moments at the end of the reception that weren't captured in our professional photos.

Describe yourself in 3 words...
Brave, hardworking, loyal, caring.
How did you get started? Explain the process of starting your own apparel and accessory brand.
I started my brand in 2001. After launching a capsule collection that landed me on "The Tonight Show," my bags became an overnight success. In 2005, my "Morning After Bag" ignited my career as a handbag designer. In 2009, I introduced my first ready-to-wear collection. Today, I design not only handbags and accessories, but also footwear, jewelry, watches, as well as a men's clothing under the Uri Minkoff label.
What inspired you to create your own handbag and apparel business?
I decided if I was going to work this hard, then it better be me answering to myself at the end of the day.
You have grown rapidly, and now have a very established, well-known brand. What would you say attributes to brand longevity?
Persistence, not taking no for an answer, connecting with your customer and listening to her.
How have your children impacted your brand?
My children have made me become stronger and more focused. I hope I am a role model and an inspiration to my children. I want to set an example for them and inspire them to always follow their dreams. Having them also made me a hyper multitasker and also forced me to rely on my team for what they are there to do.
What is the greatest challenge of balancing mom life and work life? What tips can you provide our readers who struggle with this?
I don't think the work/life balance is something you can magically achieve. I often say that balance is a term that was made up to make women feel inadequate for not achieving it. I think it's about juggling and knowing what you're comfortable with. And then knowing that once you figure that out, you don't go beyond that. It's about finding the ebbs and flows about how your life goes. Ultimately, balance is the goal, but not always realistic. For me, I want to walk my kid to school every morning. That means we don't have meetings with me until 9:30 a.m. Or I won't leave my kids for more than 5 days or they come with me. It's those give and takes that are unique to each mother that she must explore for herself.
What are your favorite children's clothing shops?
Monica and Andy, Sapling Child.
What are your favorite online sites for children?
Abcmouse for screen time and they learn as well.
What are your favorite Hamptons kid's activities in the summer time?
- Hanging out in our backyard by the pool is the best.
- Going to the beach.
- We love to cook and bbq so a perfect day is the pool, bike ride to beach, following by a big family meal outside.
What values do you hope to instill in your children?
Courage, compassion, independence, hardworking, grateful, and kindness.

Making a few changes in your life can really help lower cholesterol levels.
Slim Down. Even a few extra pounds can contribute to heart disease, and losing as little as five percent of your body weight can significantly improve your cholesterol profile. Exercise can help as well. Studies show 9 miles of walking per week results in lower cholesterol.
Sleep well. In one study, researchers found that sleeping fewer than five hours a night increased cholesterol. Other studies have linked sleep deprivation with increased belly fat, which can also impact cholesterol levels.
Eat a Heart Healthy Diet. Dozens of studies have shown a link between diet, healthy cholesterol and heart disease. Olive oil, nuts, and avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, which are linked with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Omega 3-fatty acids in salmon, sardines, tuna, and mackerel have been shown to lower triglycerides. Soluble fiber in sweet potatoes and vegetables have been shown to lower cholesterol too. Apples, grapes, strawberries and citrus are high in pectin, a form of soluble fiber that lowers LDL levels.
Kick the Carbs. A high-carb diet has been linked with elevated triglycerides. A diet high in refined grains also leads to insulin resistance, inflammation, and metabolic syndrome, also linked with increased triglycerides. Banish refined sugars and sweets from your diet. This means avoiding candy, cookies, pastries, fruit juice, white flour, and alcohol. Even a small amount of these can trigger elevated triglycerides. Focus instead of high-fiber, nutrient-dense carbs such as sweet potatoes, squash, and quinoa. Studies show that high-fiber foods lower cholesterol.
Try Red Yeast Rice. Or even better, try Nordic Natural's Omega LDL featuring Red Yeast Rice. Red Yeast Rice is made by fermenting a certain type of yeast with rice, which turns the rice a deep red. Red Yeast Rice supplements contain significant amounts of monacolin K, a compound that's chemically identical to lovastatin, a prescription cholesterol-lowering drug. Red Yeast Rice works by lower the liver's cholesterol production, and it can decrease total cholesterol by 13 percent. It's been shown to be as effective as prescription cholesterol drugs, without the associated side effects. The supplement Omega LDL features Red Yeast Rice, CoQ10, and Omega 3's. All shown to help lower cholesterol levels.

I have weird ideas sometimes, I mean, who doesn't? We live in a society where political correctness dominate, and I'm for it, but I can also be against it. It's like one of those "love/hate relationships" you used to have to teachers in elementary school.
We all have things we regret. At least I have and that's why I'm writing this. I'm so sick of having anxiety over stuff I should move on with. I'm getting sick and tired of it. Confused? Let me explain!
I've done stupid things involving lies. I'm not going to tell you who I lied to, or what I lied to them about. However I am going to tell you that I feel really guilty about it, even though it was one of those "white lies" everyone makes.
I am such a person feeling bad about pretty much anything and it's not a great feeling. If there's something I hate about some people is that they can be resentful. Extremely resentful sometimes. They keep on reminding me of my mistakes, my lies, my fears, my everything - and I know. I shouldn't have done those things to beguin with - I should have just learnt from my mistakes to beguin with. But now it's like it is and there's nothing to change.
The moral of this post is to learn how to forgive people. If you show no mercy on them when they've done a mistake, they will treat you the same when you've out-fooled yourself. That's how we work unfortunately - what you give you'll get back. Think about that.

An unrelated picture of me. I needed something fun to fill out this post, you know.

One of my buddies birthdays just pasted and for his birthday I told him to pick someone and I'd paint him up .. He plays Ultra's (at least in color) but typically uses Vulken as his HQ. So he asked to have to him painted in Ultra Colors.. I kept his cloak green to honor his roots.. I didn't do any prep or prime, He was handed to me as is and I started to get my paint on. About 50% complete so far.
I've also done a little bit more to the test rhino
And also built a new rack for my paints, my table was forever a mess and it was killing me so I built this to hold them.

My Three have had a very busy school holiday. Whilst they have been off school they have been to the seaside, had their brother from Ireland stay and they have been busy enjoying the following items.
Vtech Kidizoom Smart Watch
James has loved wearing his new Vtech Smart watch during the Summe holidays. He has taken it with us to the seaside and has worn it in the garden whilst playing on his bike and with our dogs. One of the features he really likes is the camera – he has been taking photos and videoes and then editing them with fun effects. Before breaking up from school for summer he has been learning to tell the time, the watch has both 3D digital and analogue clock faces so he has been telling everyone the time when asked. In a moment of boredom, he has also had 8 games to play on. The watch has many functions including a calculator, calendar, alarm, stop watch, pedometer, voice recorder and much more – kids can even download more from the special app store.
Pass The Pigs Game
A game that will keep the whole family entertained both inside and out, hot, rainy or cold. Fantastic fun for the whole family, Pass the Pigs is so easy to play. Simply throw the 2 piggies up in the air and see how they land. Compare the pigs landing positions with your scorecard and earn points, the first to 100 wins. The boys have loved playing Pass The Pigs in the garden over the summer holidays. There are two games available to play:
- Pass the Pigs – with its travel case and cute dice pigs, it's the ideal family entertainment, whether indoor or on the go!
- Giant Pass the Pigs – play with adorable inflatable pigs – great for gardens, parks or inside on the floor play – plus doubles up as pool inflatables.
Disney's Fantasia Jigsaw
It has to be said that we have had a lot of rubbish weather for much of the holidays (the weather is already picking up in anticipation of the boys going back to school next week). This is when we like to play board games or complete jigsaw puzzles together. One puzzle we have completed is the 1000 piece Fantasia Jigsaw Puzzle from Ravensburger. The puzzle was a great way to relax and spend time as a family. We worked together as a team to complete the puzzle. Ravensburger jigsaws are known for their outstanding quality and their unique puzzle pieces. I like that they have an anti-glare coating so that our eyes aren't strained whilst we are completing the puzzle.This jigsaw is aimed at children and adults but as we worked together we found the puzzle easy to complete.
Amazon Prime Video
As we've already said the weather hasn't been that great during the holidays, but this has given My Three the chance to watch some films and cartoons on Amazon Prime Video ( free as we are Prime Subscribers). We have watched lots of films this holiday but our favourites by far have been The BFG, The Lego Movie, The Cat in the Hat, Spk Kids and one of my favourite's Charlotte's Web. I also noticed lots of festive themed films are available to watch and although it's far too early for us to be watching them just yet we already have a list ready and waiting for the 1st of December.
Haribo Smurf Sweets
Who doesn't enjoy a bag of sweets whilst watching their favourite films at the weekend? The newest editions from Haribo have been released to coincide with the cinema release of the latest Smurfs film.
*We were sent the products mentioned above for the purpose of this post*

If you haven't already figured out, I'm a HUGE Etsy fan! I just love all the creativity and the small business aspect of this online shopping experience. Not only are you supporting the small guys when you shop Etsy but you get UNIQUE items; stuff you can't buy at Target or Buy Buy Baby or even Giggle.
Baby stuff is especially fun to browse. You can get modern nursery decor {art, crib sheets, pillows and mobiles} as well as baby clothes and swaddle blankets. Did you know you could even get super chic Boppy slip covers {the ones Boppy makes are pretty cheesy and limited if you ask me} -- just look at this ADORABLE cover and baby sleeping. Above clothes are just a few examples of the unique clothes you can find on etsy.
Some of my favorite nursery items are shown above. Look how modern the crib bumper is! And the boppy cover and changing table covers are pretty special as well. Etsy has so much nursery art {do a search} that it could take you all day to go through it all. I loved this sheep illustration. And the black and white alphabet poster. Baby mobiles are also a fun item so search on etsy because there are so many different options - much better than the plastic ones you find at the big stores. This wooden one I found on pinterest is so cute. The finally the pillows {1 + 2} and the storage box! Need I even say anything about them? Pillows are my absolute FAVORITE thing to get on etsy. I don't really buy pillows anymore unless they are etsy. SO much cuteness it's insane.
And last but not least - etsy has the BEST infant gear ever! If you have a baby shower to go to, shop these shops. Aden and Anais makes the sweetest little blankets and swaddlers, as we all know, but it is true that most people have those swaddle blankets by now. Teethers, rattles and burp clothes are all over etsy and ORGANIC {eco friendly/wooden} as well.
Babies are so fun to spend money on! So enjoy it...

Hi Tracie Moo,
I will try to post this recipe, as recently Blogger seem to have a lot of problems. I was quite upset that I can't upload photos on my post and sometime I can't save the content which I had typed. :(

Thanks for the recipe! I was just wondering how to make butter cream? could I make butter cream without eggs?

Hi Tracie Moo,
You can find butter cream recipe at my blog. Happy Baking.

This is cute! Do you place the choc chips on the tray first, then pour the batter over it? Or pour batter then scatter the chips? Tks.

Hi Lalaland,
Yes, I placed the chocolate chips on the tray first, then pour the batter over it.

Hi Happy Flour
Would like to check with you the followings:
a) Use a cake mixer and whisk the egg whites until frothy.
4. Gradually add in the sugar and whisk till stiff peaks form.
5. Change the speed to medium and gradually add in the egg yolks and whisk for another 1min until well combined.
After reaching stiff peaks stage, will whisking in the egg yolks deflate the air bubbles in the meringue?
b)6. Fold the flour into the meringue lightly in 3 portions until well combined.
Does the mixture looks lesser after folding in the flour cos some bubbles have been deflated?
Would like to clear these doubts before trying out this recipe.

Hi Mel,
When you add in the egg yolks whisk until it is well mix that all, if you whisk for too long the air bubbles will be deflated.
During folding in the flour the volume of the batter will drop slightly as you are adding heavier substance into a lighter one. You can't prevent deflating some air bubbles during the whole mixing process. As long as you didn't over fold it the air bubbles will stay. Happy baking :)

Hi Happy Flour
Thanks ^^ Hope my swiss roll will turn out fine.

The pursuit began around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, with an attempted traffic stop in the Bronx, executed by an unlikely set of enforcers: New York State Court officers, who are more practiced in shepherding defendants to their hearings than in patrolling the nighttime streets.
Over a bridge and several hundred yards further, the car that had not stopped, a 2002 Mercedes, struck a bicyclist in northern Manhattan, the police said. The car took off again, weaving against traffic before it hit another car and its occupants fled on foot.
The hectic getaway killed Sergei Musatov, 42, an assistant professor of neuroscience in neurological surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College, a spokesman for the school said. He was riding west on East 129th Street near the Third Avenue Bridge when the Mercedes hit his Cannondale bicycle from behind, the police said. The impact sent Dr. Musatov hurtling into the windshield of the Mercedes and then onto the asphalt.
A police spokesman said he did not know whether Dr. Musatov, who earned his doctoral degree from Saint Petersburg State University in Russia in 1998, had been wearing a helmet.
The collision raised questions about the decision by the court officers, who are unaccustomed to traffic enforcement, to turn on their emergency lights and try to pull over the Mercedes.
The police said the two officers had seen the car run a red light and also noticed it had a broken window. They soon lost sight of the car and turned off their emergency lights, the police said, but still followed it over the Third Avenue Bridge and into Manhattan.
David Bookstaver, a spokesman for the state court system, said on Thursday that officials were waiting for the police department's accident investigation before determining what role the court officers may have played in the crash. He said the officers were driving from the Bronx courts to the Harlem Community Justice Center on a routine patrol when the Mercedes ran the red light. He said the officers had responded so quickly because the Mercedes nearly struck their car.
When it took off, Mr. Bookstaver said, the officers did not attempt to chase it, but rather continued on their way into Manhattan and came upon the collision seconds later.
"Under extreme situations, the court officers may take lawful action to stop a crime," Mr. Bookstaver said. He added that all court officers have to complete several months of law enforcement academy training.
The Mercedes hit several construction barriers before striking Dr. Musatov, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
After that, the Mercedes zigzagged down several blocks in East Harlem, driving against street traffic, before ramming a Volkswagen sedan that was stopped at a red light, the police said. (No injuries were reported in that crash.) The man driving the Mercedes and his two passengers ran away, the police said. By Thursday afternoon, the police had not arrested any suspects.
The crash halted the rising career of a researcher devoted to finding new technologies for understanding behavior, and sent a tight-knit community of New York City brain scientists into mourning.
Michael Kaplitt, the director of the molecular neurosurgery lab at Weill Cornell where Dr. Musatov worked, hired him 15 years ago. He said Dr. Musatov took pride in his Russian heritage, but soaked up opportunities for scientific collaboration in New York, as well as the city's art and classical music offerings.
"He was the first person I'd go to if I ever had an interesting scientific idea or thought," Dr. Kaplitt said. "If he didn't have an answer, he'd find it."
Joshua Goldfein, an endodontist who used to work alongside Dr. Musatov as a lab technician, said Dr. Musatov would arrive at the lab at 3 a.m. to treat cells for his colleagues. "Many times he'd never leave the lab," Dr. Goldfein recalled.
The crash renewed questions about how the authorities balance the urgency of an arrest against the risk of pursuing an erratic driver in an urban area.
The New York Police Department's patrol guide instructs officers to gauge the necessity of a pursuit and to take strict safety precautions. State court officials were not able to say on Thursday whether their officers were guided by a similar protocol.
"It's uncertain terrain for a lot of officers, but certainly for ones who aren't well-trained," said Geoffrey P. Alpert, a criminology professor at the University of South Carolina who has studied police pursuits for the Justice Department. "There are two skills: how to drive a car, but more important is the skill of when to drive a car."
He added that following a car on busy city streets in response to a traffic offense, even for only a short period, was not in keeping with most departments' training.
Dr. Kaplitt said his colleagues planned to carry Dr. Musatov's recent research, which included promising insights into how estrogen influences brain cells, to completion. Dr. Musatov, he said, would appear as the first author on a paper they had just started, when it is published.

Barchick SaysDate Updated: 10/07/2014
This place is pretty unique as far as bars in Bristol go that don't fall under the speakeasy category. If you see an 80s film like The Goonies being projected onto the street outside, then you know you've arrived. As you walk in the whole of the right hand side of the bar is a mural of Whiteladies Road and its various shops (let's hope none close down), it's very colourful, pretty cool and the street lamps work. But don't get too lost in it because it's the bar you're here for, which is decorated in beautiful origami.
Grab a copy of the menu, it's mega; each drink is beautifully drawn by the head bartender and they look so good you'll want to try them all. Disco drinks are the name of the game in here; we liked the Passionate Lady made with passion fruit, Finlandia Vodka and other delights, and the fail safe Tommy's Margarita with Casco Viejo Blanco Tequila and lime.
Sit amongst tasselled lamps, vintage telephones and candles and enjoy the beats produced by the DJ (who doubles up as the bar man, or the other way around) oh and dancing isn't uncommon in here, don't be shy now.

Feeding Wild Squirrels:Tips to Save You money
Cute SquirrelClick thumbnail to view full-size
About Squirrels
There are around two hundred species of squirrels. They will eat a wide variety of different fruits and nuts among other things. The antics of squirrels can be quite amusing when you sit and watch them. They chase each other around, hang upside down on a tree, and can be very crafty when trying to get the bird food. Winter and Spring is hard on squirrels since during winter the ground is frozen so food that was buried is hard for them to retrieve, then in spring when everything is beginning to grow, their your food source is gone as it begins to grow. Keep a journal on your squirrels is a fun idea. Average life span is between three to five years.
Types of Food Squirrels Eat
Actually sometimes squirrels will eat anything that smells good to them. Once I put some leftover baked Macaroni & Cheese out for the nighttime animals earlier in the evening but I had two squirrels eating it even though I had feed them earlier in the afternoon.
- Pine Cones - (actually the pinenut that they eat)
- Nuts - (almonds, English & Black walnuts, peanuts unsalted, hazel nuts, pecans)
- Field Corn - Favorite (Don't care for sweet corn)
- Fruits - (oranges, apples, apricots, avocado's)
- Sunflower seeds - (favorite), Acorns, Mushrooms
May feed on these food types, more adapt to in winter months
- Strawberries
- Tomatoes
- Dog Food
- Table Scrapes
- Roman Lettuce
Natural Habitats / Odd Foods
Squirrels build nest in tree branches. Some squirrels will make a nest in the hollow of an old tree. There are some that like to live in the city and actually follow people to try and get a little food from them. Here are some odd things squirrels will eat:
- Fungi
- Insects
- Bird Eggs / Young Birds
- Pinenuts (from a pinecone)
- Twigs
- Buds
- Bark / Leaves
Simple Recipe For Squirrels
- 1 (16 ounce) jar of peanutbutter (Use crunchy peanutbutter and you have the nuts already in it)
- 1 1/4 cups of butter
- 1 1/2 cups of nuts (peanuts, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts) mixture or any one
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 1/4 quick oats
- 2 1/2 cups corn meal (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups of sunflowers
- 1 cup of whole corn kernel
- Melt butter and peanutbutter over low heat together.
- Stir in remaining ingredients except nuts
- Mix well
- Roll into balls about 3/4 size of a golf ball
- Roll balls in the nuts
- Can put extra's in baggie and freeze them, just sit out to thaw before giving them to the squirrels.
I divide them up in baggies before freezing and day before I thaw them out, since I feed about 15 to 25 squirrels a day.
Another Simple Recipe
Use left over mashed potatoes.
- 1 (16 ounce) Jar of crunchy peanutbutter
- 3/4 to 1 cup of mashed potatoes
- Mix together
- Refrigerate, set some out to room temperate, spread on crackers or bread (cut bread into 4 square pieces)
- Place outside for squirrels.
This will make the peanutbutter go further when feeding the squirrels.
Gathering Free Food For Squirrels
Every year I gather free food for the squirrels that I feed. Sometimes friends will help, then I'll have a cookout to say thank you for all your help. Kids seem to enjoy this activity also. I do this anywhere from two days to a week, depending on much I want to collect. Use large totes to store the food in and it keeps well over winter months. Before entering the farmers field, remember to ask first, as this is done after harvest, usually I collect a large trash bag or a little more of field corn from one field depending on the size of the field. When I gather Acorns, I walk around wooded area where the trees grow. Squirrels won't eat acorns that have worms (look for a small hole for worms). Generally I get about 2 to 4 large trash bags full for the winter months. Acorns fall in late September or October depending on the climate zone. Also I gather Walnuts by walking around wooded areas. Walnuts fall from the trees early to mid fall. In some states you may be able to collect pecans in the fall. In the Spring, I plant around 30 sunflowers for the sunflower seeds. The backs will turn brown so just cut the head off of the sunflower, place on a tarp or large piece of plastic for 5 to 7 days to dry. You can use a brush to get the seeds off or just sit the whole head of sunflower seeds outside and the squirrels will do the work of getting the seeds. When drying the sunflowers, put them where the squirrels can't get them like the garage, when dry store in totes. Each sunflower has around two thousand seeds, and birds will eat them to.
I LOVE your photos and your ideas for feeding squirrels. I feed plenty myself in my backyard and thought I was fairly generous, but you are absolutely incredible in your love and generosity for them. I buy mine peanuts and 40 lb. bags of birdfood that they share, but it's expensive. I love the idea of peanut butter treats. Thanks!
I love squirrels so much....I have quite the number coming to my home. thanks so much for all the awesome tips....love this article and the pictures. I started to follow you now.
These photos are amazing! I believe on some photo websites, they would generate a nice bit of income over time, really beautiful work! The squirrel enjoying the ice cream cone is my favorite.
Also, over 200 species of squirrel?! Goes to show you learn something new everyday. However, I heard they do carry rabies, but I'm sure a veteran squirrel tamer such as yourself can more than handle yourself, just be careful!
That little lawn chair in the tree with the squirrel is adorable, along with the other photos. You really are a friend to collect all that food and store it for your little furry visitors.
Oh, I forgot to tell how you adorable the photos are of the squirrels. Especially the little squirrel sleeping in the dish.
Great article on the squirrels, Annie. I learned some new things...also about sunflowers having 2000 seeds. That's amazing. I hope to see more articles from you.

Slow Terminals Equal Lost Sales
Customers have come to expect speed and accuracy when they reach the checkout line. For businesses that may only have one or two cash registers, this can create a problem when there are a lot of customers and a line starts to form. It doesn't take too much of a delay, or the perception of a long line, for people to abandon or postpone their purchase for another day.
Don't let an obsolete credit card terminal slow down your checkout line!
What causes delays? In reality, new technology means that the line at the register has never been faster. Barcode readers, POS systems, and better registers make for quick transactions. Many seasoned store owners are old enough to remember manual cash registers, individually priced items, and the need to punch in the cost of every item by hand. Today, the process is much faster but the average consumer's perception of time has become skewed by instantaneous buying on the Internet and at big box stores. Giant conglomerates invest millions of dollars in top-tier technology and analysis to make the payment experience fast and efficient.
Luckily, there are ways for small companies to speed up the purchasing process. For example, a credit card terminal with an internet connection is many times faster than one connected to a telephone line. Instead of having to dial, wait for a modem to connect, and get an authorization, an IP terminal can get a lightning-fast approval. LAN-based transactions also have a higher level of security than those done over the phone, since the data has better encryption. Likewise, POS systems that quickly recognize bar codes and total up orders make a big difference.
In the retail world, seconds make a difference in payment processing. Even a slight delay can leave customers questioning the competence of you or your employees while the customer queue increases. Aside from faster equipment, time saving processes and training can help your cashiers accept payments, package items, and retain friendly customer service levels. As a business owner, it may pay to shop the competition to see how your small-business rivals are serving their clients. At Dependable Solutions, we offer a variety of secure, fast IP terminals and POS solutions in addition to our discounted credit card processing services. As your checkout speed increases, and more customers use debit and credit cards, the additional savings from a less expensive merchant account will be a welcome dividend.

To Help Others Live Better
Protecting people and their loved ones against the unforeseeable, and helping them to lead a happy healthy life without worrying about their finances
Hello, my name is Nick Blanchard, a local business man who has lived and worked in the Hampton area for 30 years….. Those of you who know me will already be conversant with my community involvements, such as parkrun and Twickenham Rugby (off pitch, not on I'm afraid!), and my general lust for life. As a Protection Adviser at Contego Life, I'm on a mission to put some life into the finance world, by offering protection with a difference:

It might be at The Stoop, watching his beloved Quins, or at AFC Wimbledon, or perhaps at the Bushy parkrun on Saturday morning.….You will also know what kind of man Nick is: the kind, generous enthusiast with a lust for life, the proud family man for whom the glass is always more than half full, the supportive, positive, life enhancing friend. There is no side to Nick, no angle; he is honest and genuine and consistently exhibits that rarest of modern traits: he sees the best in people. I would trust him with anything and am proud to call him my friend"

I'm not your usual kind of financial advisor. I spent much of my career running the family Mailing House business from 1979 – 2015. There, I took great pride in looking after our staff to create a happy workplace, with high employee engagement and low staff turnover. But as the market changed and people moved to email marketing, the business gradually declined to become one of the last mailing houses in the country. Eventually the difficult decision was made to close and lay off our last 10 employees. This was probably the most testing moment in my entire career.
During this challenging period, I realised people need a safeguard from changes outside their control. In need of a new direction, this led me to the protection industry - a business that allows me to help people manage uncertainty and take back control.
It's never too soon to start the conversation

Need Business Cards FAST?
We off 7 types of business cards.
Your business card is not just a piece of cardstock with your basics on it. Yes, it is a primary way to communicate your contact information, but it's so much more than that. The design you choose says a lot about who you are as a person and as a professional in any given industry. Making a great first impression so that the recipient holds onto your card and doesn't dump it into the trash as soon as you turn around starts and ends with a great design. We're here to help.

Size and Shape
Standard U.S. specifications for the standard business card size is 2.0" x 3.5". Acceptable variations include the fold-over card: 4.0" x 3.5", but folded to 2" x 3.5". Another option is to select a mini-card, which can be as small as 1.75" x 2" and as large as 2.5" x 2.5". Before going with a non-standard size, though, be mindful of who will be receiving your business cards. While unusual shapes may be perfect for an artistic audience, business people generally keep cards in organizers or apps specifically designed for 2" x 3.5".
You could go the middle of the road route with rounded corners, which include radii of 1/8", ¼", 3/8" or ½".
Card stock is by far the most popular material, but we have done some plastic business cards in the past, such as gold foil on a translucent red plastic. Plastic cards come in a variety of colors now and can easily be made to match your corporate logo.
Another interesting variation of the plastic card is a lenticular business card, created by imposing two images on a single side. One image is viewed when you hold the card at a certain angle, while the other image is seen when the angle is changed.
In terms of paper cards, consider that paper weights (thickness) are expressed in points and 1 point equals .001 inch. So 10 points = .01". The least expensive cards are generally printed on .009" (also called "80# cover") stock. The next heavier stock commonly used is .011" (also called "100# cover") and can be acceptable, especially if you just need a small quantity and want to keep costs low.
The minimum is 14 pts. If you like something even heavier, consider 16 pts. Paper stock is available in either gloss or matte finish. Additional finishes include Varnish, AQ (Aqueous) and UV (Ultra Violet).
Another unique option is to print your business card on magnetic materials. This option is ideal for real estate agents, plumbers, veterinarians and local restaurants who want their numbers stuck to the side of a refrigerator.
For a little extra edge, why not add different inks and foils to your business cards? Most business cards are printed in the standard CMYK process consisting of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black inks. Even more colors are available as foils.
We achieve this by creating a die to stamp the foil onto your business cards. Using inks and foils can really make your business cards stand out. However, because it's an additional process, it requires an additional design and additional cost.
One cool technique is called thermography, a process where resinous powder is added to an ink and then fused. When the business cards are sent through a heat tunnel, the powder reacts with the heat to slightly raise the ink, creating a texture in the print.
Check out these helpful tips to coming up with a compelling design for your business cards.
• Fonts: Stick to one, at most two, fonts for your business cards, and always stay within the same font families.
• Readability: Keep the age and interests of your audience in mind before selecting the size and type of font.
• Graphics: Keep them to a minimum so they don't overwhelm the card. Zebra stripes may seem cool, but they can really overwhelm the print.
• Extras: If you are a doctor, therapist or other similar professional, add something like "Your next appointment is on ______ at _______" on the back for the convenience of your patients.
• "Bleed": When a color continues to the very edge of paper that is called a "bleed" and it looks more professional than a white border. But a printing press cannot apply ink to the edge of a paper, so we have to print oversize and then trim back. The most common bleed size is .125". In order to print a finished business card that is 2.0" x 3.5" with color running to the edges ("full bleed"), the card must be originally designed at 2.25" x 3.75". After printing, that 1/8" will be trimmed off to the correct size.
• Text: Be sure to include name, full address, telephone number including extension, email address, cell number, website, logo and professional license number when appropriate. Optional: fax number, Skype number, social media, etc.
• Photo: This really isn't necessary unless you are a real estate agent or some other professional where your appearance is vital to clients recognizing you. If you include your photo, it must be in high resolution, 300 DPI ("dots per inch").

A burpee is basically a jumping jack combined with a push-up – they're not fun, and I try to avoid them whenever possible. Some days that's easier than others.
I recently ran an obstacle race where the penalty for not completing a trial was 30 burpees.
One obstacle was beyond me: pulling a sandbag about twenty feet into the air using a rope and pulley. I knew I was in trouble the moment I tugged on the rope and the bag didn't budge. No matter which way I wrenched my body, the bad wouldn't rise more than an inch.
Defeated, I stepped toward the burpee zone. Before I could get there, though, a man stopped me and asked, "Did you get the bag up?"
"No," I replied. "Not this time."
"Let's do it together," he said.
Help wasn't against the rules. Together, we made short work of the task, and I got to avoid the burpees.
Teamwork can make an impossible task possible. It's even true for loans. When you can't qualify for a small business loan on your own, a cosigner can change everything.
A cosigner is a friend or family member who agrees to pay your loan if you cannot. Besides helping you get approved for funding that you may not have otherwise qualified for, the benefits of using a cosigner may include getting a lower interest rate, being offered a larger sum of money, and avoiding the need to offer up collateral.
Before you ask someone to co-sign on your loan, you should know about some of the risks they agree to take on:
Rewards often counterweight great risks. This is not the case for a cosigner who enjoys no benefits other than helping you obtain funding and establish credit.
When looking at the risks involved in cosigning a loan, it becomes a wonder that anyone agrees to do it. If you're having trouble getting someone to sign the dotted line, there are ways to make the offer more appealing.
First, you should use a contract that shows what the cosigner will be responsible for and what will happen if the cosigner takes over the loan. The arrangement will seem more reasonable if the cosigner gets your business in recompense for paying off the loan if that should happen.
The contract could state that if your cosigner takes you to court over the loan, you agree to be responsible for her legal fees.
You can also put in writing that you plan to take the cosigner off the loan later when you refinance the loan.
These assurances will go a long way to making your friend or family member feel more comfortable about the loan.
Cosigning a loan is a risky venture. It has ruined more than a few friendships, and it shouldn't be a surprise that many people have no interest getting involved with it. If you can't find a cosigner, you might have better luck suggesting that your friend or family member just lend you the money themselves.
If you can't get the entire amount, try for enough to make a down payment on what you plan to purchase.
Now that you know some of the risks involved with co-signing, it's no wonder why it can be difficult to find a cosigner. Ideally, you wouldn't need one. If you have a strong enough credit history on your own, then you might not. If you're ready to check and see what kind of small business funding we can find you, go ahead and fill out our brief form today.

Kramnik and Gelfand on the Candidates: Age or Youth?
Both Vladimir Kramnik and Boris Gelfand remain near the top of the heap of world chess, despite their both being north of 40 years of age, but the interviews compiled here they take opposing sides when it comes to the role of age in the ongoing Candidates' tournament. Which player took which side? I'll let you guess before looking it up, although since one of the two often refers to himself as a "pensioner" you can probably figure it out in advance. As for which of the two is correct, we'll have to wait and see.

WINNIPEG – Calgary author Frances Widdowson will be in Winnipeg on Friday to promote a book that calls aboriginal healing "quackery," the culture "mythology" and "Indians" "barbarians".
All across Canada, Widdowson and co-author Albert Howard are taking heat for Disrobing the Aboriginal Industry, The Deception Behind Indigenous Cultural Preservation.
The book challenges the use of government grants for aboriginal interests, on the grounds there really is no such thing as aboriginal culture.
Winnipeg has one of the biggest aboriginal populations of any Canadian city.
Fifty people shelled out $45 a head for lunch Friday at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, where the author is the guest speaker of the right-leaning Frontier Centre for Public Policy. Widdowson's a real draw, a booking agent for the centre said.
Meanwhile, members of the aboriginal community are outraged.
Anishinabe writer Niigonwedom Sinclair dismisses the book and its authors as beyond ignorant.
"Others should be ashamed that she is getting paid to circulate her dated, ungrounded, myopic theories," Sinclair said.
Anishinabe communications specialist Renata Marsden argued that Widdowson is a hypocrite.
"She speaks about non-aboriginal people financially gaining from aboriginal culture. By writing this book, she does just that. To make matters worse, she's adding insult to injury by discrediting a culture that has been working very hard to revive itself," Marsden said.
All the ink is fanning flames here.
"In my opinion, the authors need to be charged with hate crimes under the Criminal Code," a Winnipeg doctor wrote to the Winnipeg Free Press this week.

Sudir Raju has covered in older posts several go-to options when it comes to hiking. However, the vast majority of hikers, regardless of their experience level, have always been fond of the Appalachian Trail. For one thing, those who are new to this activity often ask themselves: "Where do the Appalachian Trails start?" In fact, some, without even knowing where to find the Appalachian Trail, dare say they want to take on the trail from the very beginning to its end. What they don't know, though, is that to attempt such thing requires a vast knowledge about hiking, and an amazing physical condition to overcome all the challenges the trail poses.
If you're considering to attempt the Appalachian Trail, you most definitely need to be ready for obstacles and challenges —climbing steep rock slopes whilst hiking across mountains are just some of the things you, as an avid hiker, will face throughout the whole adventure. Additionally, staying a long distance away from the next settlement to spend the night increases the difficulty level of the trail. In fact, that why most hikers prefer day or weekend-long trips. Be that as it may, just a few can say they've conquered the great Appalachian Trail, so, without further ado, here are some tips that will help you plan your next hike in this location.
Answer yourself the following questions: Are you ready to spend hours and days climbing to a height of almost 4,000 ft? Is this your first hiking trip? How hiking-savvy do you consider yourself? And, last but not least, even you've got some hiking experience, are you ready to go away from all the conveniences and amenities of your hometown? If you're positive that you want to take on the Appalachian Trail, don't miss what Sudir Raju has got for you.
Always consider the season
Thinking about the season is key if you want to try the Appalachian Trail. The time of the year plays a vital role when it comes to the number of hikers that, just like you, want to challenge themselves by venturing into the mountains. The number of people moving around the trail varies depending on the season and, even more importantly, the starting point. For instance, if you are planning to start your hike in Baxter State Park, right at Mount Katahdin, you should bear in mind that pretty much all the trails are quite crowded in the middle of the year, June and July. As for other locations, the available information suggests different variations.
Are you allergic to some insects or bees? If so, consider that between May to late August, mosquitoes, bees, flies and some beetles can be found all over the Appalachian Trail.
Don't aim too high
By "Don't aim too high", we suggest you consider and understand your experience level. If your just getting started with hiking and this is your first hike, start lightly and build your way up the difficulty levels over time. If your a hiking enthusiast that would fall under the beginner's umbrella, bear in mind that you should strive to achieve a hiking speed of about one mile per hour, even on easy and simple segments.
Plan the night
In case you're planning a long hiking trip for a weekend or even a week, think about where you and your fellow hikers are going to spend the night. Across the entire trail, there are more than 260 shelters, most of which include all the amenities you expect to find and, more importantly, have been built near water sources. Shelters were initially intended to harbor small groups of people, which is why, in case you're traveling with a large tourist group, you can resort to all the campsites that are available to set up your tent.
In fact, even if you're planning on staying at a shelter or a hoster, you should still carry a tent just in case. You don't want to find yourself with no options to spend the night just because you're behind schedule. Always plan in advance considering all possible scenarios.
Leave No Trace
Even if this is your first hike, you should carefully learn and internalize the postulates of Leave No Trace. These principles are part of the Leave No Trace program. Its primary objective is to teach humans to take care of the environment whilst interacting with, or, better said, the program strives to reduce human impact on the environment.
Take your phone
Although you're certainly planning this hike in hopes of getting away from the hectic city, you also certainly know that today's mobile technology is tightly in sync with our lives. This, of course, is important and is the reason behind why most travelers always take their mobile phones when they hit the trail. During an emergency, having a mobile phone at hand really comes in handy and, sometimes, is the deciding factor between life and death.
Besides, having a mobile phone allows you to leave some luggage behind, like maps and notes about the hike, as you can save them on your phone.

The Big 12 Presidents and Chancellors have agreed to invite TCU to the league. If TCU accepts, which it is anticipated that they will, it will be TCU's 6th conference since 2005. A friend of mine gave them a suitable title, "Little Orphan of D-1." Classic.
TCU is expected to pay a $5 million exit fee to the Big East — a conference they NEVER competed in — and will be a member of the Big 12 for the 2012-2013 academic/athletic year. TCU was scheduled to join the Big East on July 1, 2012.
Everyone is reporting it as a done deal, and it is expected to be announced later today.
TCU chancellor Victor J. Boschini told the Big East Thursday they have scheduled a board of regents meeting today where "we expect to accept an offer to join the Big 12."
A statement from the Big 12: "Acting upon a unanimous recommendation of its expansion subcommittee, the Big 12 Conference Board of Directors this morning authorized negotiations with Texas Christian University to become the Conference's tenth member, and instructed interim commissioner Chuck Neinas to immediately begin discussions with TCU."
Missouri did not participate in the otherwise unanimous vote of approval to authorize negotiations with TCU and I'm hearing that if MU leaves (indications are they are out the door, but…) the Big 12 would expand to 12. if Missouri stays, the league will add just TCU and remain at 10.
A quick note about Missouri, it has been reported that Texas is considering making further concessions in order to appease Missouri enough to stay in the league. But is it too late? Texas could have done this last year, earlier this year and again a month ago, and hasn't. Texas has given Missouri some of what it has wanted, but not all. Missouri has put their foot down, drawn a line in the sand and its saying, "its my way or the highway." They won't settle for a compromise. So, what is it that they want (and most, if not the rest of the league members would be happy with this too)? The end of the Longhorn Network and the construction of a brand new Big 12 Network.
Stay tuned…

The LINE: National Juried Printmaking Exhibition November 4th - December 1, 2011
Juror: John Risseeuw, Professor at Arizona State University
Prescott College Art Gallery at Sam Hill Warehouse
232 N. Granite St. Prescott, Arizona 86301 928-2341
Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 11 - 3
I was pleased to have these three pieces selected for this exhibit:
A line leaves a memory. Whether you find
one in a drawing, a book, or on a map, each
tell a story of an energy, a movement
in a time and space that elicits
traces of feeling and thought.
I place drawn and printed lines in a context
using materials that elicit multiple associations.
Like old and used books, vessels
of knowledge and information. Artifacts today
as many are discarded and replaced with digital
delivery systems like the internet and e-books.
And like the weather maps of New Zealand
that reveal mutable patterns of highs and lows. Fleeting
winds that shaped a landscape and people of a region.
Unpredictable like the appearance of algae.
Conditions were ripe.
Algae that I found floating on the surface of a river in Northern California.
A felt field of matted and knotted threads.
A pad of mottled greens used as material for my work.
I culled sheets of it to dry and printed wind maps on its surface.
I hope that the artwork evokes these feelings of change through
the materials and the language of line.

I'll play with you after school today.
Never tell a soul– promise?
Wait till summer; then I'll take you fishing.
We'll go to Disneyland next year - it's a promise!
Our lives are full of promises. Do we keep all the promises we make? Do others keep their promises to us? Probably not.
But there is Someone Who does keep every promise He makes. God promised Abraham and Sarah they would have a son. In fact He said it over and over. Now at last, when Abraham was 100 and Sarah 90 years old, the baby was born.
1. What did Sarah do? (Genesis 21:6)
2. Abraham and Sarah named the baby Isaac. What does the name "Isaac" mean?
God kept His promise. What a happy time!
PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for the joy of kept promises. Amen.

You may have heard that "sitting is killing you" or that "sitting is the new smoking"… sedentary behaviour has been getting a lot of attention recently but what is it, and why should be care about it?
What is sedentary behaviour?
Essentially, sedentary behaviours are any behaviour performed during waking hours that is performed sitting down, and involves very little energy expenditure. Things like sitting in front of the TV, sitting in front of your computer, sitting on the bus to get to work, or sitting in meetings at work are all classified as sedentary behaviours. Most of us spend between 50 and 75% of our day in a seated position! However, not every activity that we do seated counts as sedentary behaviours – riding a bike, or rowing for example involve large amounts of energy expenditure so are not sedentary activities.
Why should we be concerned about the time we spend sedentary?
The results of a large number of scientific research studies indicate that people who spend a lot of time sitting are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease or diabetes, and are more likely to die earlier than those who spend less time sitting. Importantly this association exists even in those individuals who are regularly physically active. Going for a run or to the gym every day doesn't necessarily protect you from the harmful effects of sitting for long periods.
How can I limit my sedentary behaviour?
An important thing to remember is that it's not about never sitting down, it's about sitting less, and moving more, more often. In fact some research suggests that the best thing for our health may be incorporating regular transitions from sitting to standing into our day. Here are some tips to help limit periods of prolonged sitting:
1) Think about the activities you do throughput the day, do they REQUIRE you to sit, or is sitting just the default? Can you pick some activities that you do regularly throughout the day and do them standing? e.g. always stand-up when you are talking on the phone.
2) Schedule walking meetings – most people are concerned that walking meetings limit note taking ability, but if you take notes as soon as you get back and email them to the attendees to check you don't miss much!
3) There are several software options available that will "lock" your computer at regular intervals to encourage you to take an active break… but some people do find these annoying!
4) Drink lots of water – filling up your drink bottle, and going to the bathroom are good ways to force yourself to get out of your chair.
5) If you need to talk to someone in your building, or nearby go to their office and talk to them in person, rather than sending and email or picking up the phone.
6) Locate the printer some distance away from your office.
7) Make commercial breaks active breaks. Get out of your chair and move during every ad break while watching TV – Do the dishes, the ironing, a little vacuuming, or maybe a few star jumps or squats.
