An array in PHP is actually an ordered map. A map is a type that maps values to keys. This type is optimized in several ways, so you can use it as a real array, or a list (vector), hashtable (which is an implementation of a map), dictionary, collection, stack, queue and probably more. Because you can have another PHP array as a value, you can also quite easily simulate trees.
Explanation of those data structures is beyond the scope of this manual, but you'll find at least one example for each of them. For more information we refer you to external literature about this broad topic.
Specifying with array()
An array can be created by the array() language-construct. It takes a certain number of comma-separated key => value pairs.
array( [key =>] value , ... ) // key may be an integer or string // value may be any value
A key may be either an integer or a string. If a key is the standard representation of an integer, it will be interpreted as such (i.e. "8" will be interpreted as 8, while "08" will be interpreted as "08"). There are no different indexed and associative array types in PHP; there is only one array type, which can both contain integer and string indices.
A value can be of any PHP type.
<?php $arr = array("somearray" => array(6 => 5, 13 => 9, "a" => 42)); echo $arr["somearray"][6]; // 5 echo $arr["somearray"][13]; // 9 echo $arr["somearray"]["a"]; // 42 ?>
If you do not specify a key for a given value, then the maximum of the integer indices is taken, and the new key will be that maximum value + 1. If you specify a key that already has a value assigned to it, that value will be overwritten.
<?php // This array is the same as ... array(5 => 43, 32, 56, "b" => 12); // ...this array array(5 => 43, 6 => 32, 7 => 56, "b" => 12); ?>
As of PHP 4.3.0, the index generation behaviour described above has changed. Now, if you append to an array in which the current maximum key is negative, then the next key created will be zero (0). Before, the new index would have been set to the largest existing key + 1, the same as positive indices are.
Using TRUE as a key will evaluate to integer 1 as key. Using FALSE as a key will evaluate to integer 0 as key. Using NULL as a key will evaluate to the empty string. Using the empty string as key will create (or overwrite) a key with the empty string and its value; it is not the same as using empty brackets.
You cannot use arrays or objects as keys. Doing so will result in a warning: Illegal offset type.
Creating/modifying with square-bracket syntax
You can also modify an existing array by explicitly setting values in it.
This is done by assigning values to the array while specifying the key in brackets. You can also omit the key, add an empty pair of brackets ("[]") to the variable name in that case.
$arr[key] = value; $arr[] = value; // key may be an integer or string // value may be any value
<?php $arr = array(5 => 1, 12 => 2); $arr[] = 56; // This is the same as $arr[13] = 56; // at this point of the script $arr["x"] = 42; // This adds a new element to // the array with key "x" unset($arr[5]); // This removes the element from the array unset($arr); // This deletes the whole array ?>
Note: As mentioned above, if you provide the brackets with no key specified, then the maximum of the existing integer indices is taken, and the new key will be that maximum value + 1 . If no integer indices exist yet, the key will be 0 (zero). If you specify a key that already has a value assigned to it, that value will be overwritten.
As of PHP 4.3.0, the index generation behaviour described above has changed. Now, if you append to an array in which the current maximum key is negative, then the next key created will be zero (0). Before, the new index would have been set to the largest existing key + 1, the same as positive indices are.
Note that the maximum integer key used for this need not currently exist in the array. It simply must have existed in the array at some time since the last time the array was re-indexed. The following example illustrates:
<?php // Create a simple array. $array = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); print_r($array); // Now delete every item, but leave the array itself intact: foreach ($array as $i => $value) { unset($array[$i]); } print_r($array); // Append an item (note that the new key is 5, instead of 0 as you // might expect). $array[] = 6; print_r($array); // Re-index: $array = array_values($array); $array[] = 7; print_r($array); ?>
The above example would produce the following output:
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 4 [4] => 5 ) Array ( ) Array ( [5] => 6 ) Array ( [0] => 6 [1] => 7 )
Useful functions
There are quite a few useful functions for working with arrays. See the array functions section.
Note: The unset() function allows unsetting keys of an array. Be aware that the array will NOT be reindexed. If you only use "usual integer indices" (starting from zero, increasing by one), you can achive the reindex effect by using array_values().
The foreach control structure exists specifically for arrays. It provides an easy way to traverse an array.
Array do's and don'ts
Why is $foo[bar] wrong?
You should always use quotes around a string literal array index. For example, use $foo['bar'] and not $foo[bar]. But why is $foo[bar] wrong? You might have seen the following syntax in old scripts:bare string (an unquoted string which does not correspond to any known symbol) into a string which contains the bare string. For instance, if there is no defined constant named bar, then PHP will substitute in the string 'bar' and use that.
Note: This does not mean to always quote the key. You do not want to quote keys which are constants or variables, as this will prevent PHP from interpreting them.
<?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', true); ini_set('html_errors', false); // Simple array: $array = array(1, 2); $count = count($array); for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) { echo "\nChecking $i: \n"; echo "Bad: " . $array['$i'] . "\n"; echo "Good: " . $array[$i] . "\n"; echo "Bad: {$array['$i']}\n"; echo "Good: {$array[$i]}\n"; } ?>
Note: The output from the above is:
Checking 0: Notice: Undefined index: $i in /path/to/script.html on line 9 Bad: Good: 1 Notice: Undefined index: $i in /path/to/script.html on line 11 Bad: Good: 1 Checking 1: Notice: Undefined index: $i in /path/to/script.html on line 9 Bad: Good: 2 Notice: Undefined index: $i in /path/to/script.html on line 11 Bad: Good: 2
More examples to demonstrate this fact:
<?php // Let's show all errors error_reporting(E_ALL); $arr = array('fruit' => 'apple', 'veggie' => 'carrot'); // Correct print $arr['fruit']; // apple print $arr['veggie']; // carrot // Incorrect. This works but also throws a PHP error of // level E_NOTICE because of an undefined constant named fruit // // Notice: Use of undefined constant fruit - assumed 'fruit' in... print $arr[fruit]; // apple // Let's define a constant to demonstrate what's going on. We // will assign value 'veggie' to a constant named fruit. define('fruit', 'veggie'); // Notice the difference now print $arr['fruit']; // apple print $arr[fruit]; // carrot // The following is okay as it's inside a string. Constants are not // looked for within strings so no E_NOTICE error here print "Hello $arr[fruit]"; // Hello apple // With one exception, braces surrounding arrays within strings // allows constants to be looked for print "Hello {$arr[fruit]}"; // Hello carrot print "Hello {$arr['fruit']}"; // Hello apple // This will not work, results in a parse error such as: // Parse error: parse error, expecting T_STRING' or T_VARIABLE' or T_NUM_STRING' // This of course applies to using autoglobals in strings as well print "Hello $arr['fruit']"; print "Hello $_GET['foo']"; // Concatenation is another option print "Hello " . $arr['fruit']; // Hello apple ?>
When you turn error_reporting() up to show E_NOTICE level errors (such as setting it to E_ALL) then you will see these errors. By default, error_reporting is turned down to not show them.
As stated in the syntax section, there must be an expression between the square brackets ('[' and ']'). That means that you can write things like this:
<?php $error_descriptions[E_ERROR] = "A fatal error has occured"; $error_descriptions[E_WARNING] = "PHP issued a warning"; $error_descriptions[E_NOTICE] = "This is just an informal notice"; ?>
<?php $error_descriptions[1] = "A fatal error has occured"; $error_descriptions[2] = "PHP issued a warning"; $error_descriptions[8] = "This is just an informal notice"; ?>
As we already explained in the above examples, $foo[bar] still works but is wrong. It works, because bar is due to its syntax expected to be a constant expression. However, in this case no constant with the name bar exists. PHP now assumes that you meant bar literally, as the string "bar", but that you forgot to write the quotes.
So why is it bad then?
At some point in the future, the PHP team might want to add another constant or keyword, or you may introduce another constant into your application, and then you get in trouble. For example, you already cannot use the words empty and default this way, since they are special reserved keywords.
Note: To reiterate, inside a double-quoted string, it's valid to not surround array indexes with quotes so "$foo[bar]" is valid. See the above examples for details on why as well as the section on variable parsing in strings.
Converting to array
For any of the types: integer, float, string, boolean and resource, if you convert a value to an array, you get an array with one element (with index 0), which is the scalar value you started with.
If you convert an object to an array, you get the properties (member variables) of that object as the array's elements. The keys are the member variable names.
If you convert a NULL value to an array, you get an empty array.
The array type in PHP is very versatile, so here will be some examples to show you the full power of arrays.
<?php // this $a = array( 'color' => 'red', 'taste' => 'sweet', 'shape' => 'round', 'name' => 'apple', 4 // key will be 0 ); // is completely equivalent with $a['color'] = 'red'; $a['taste'] = 'sweet'; $a['shape'] = 'round'; $a['name'] = 'apple'; $a[] = 4; // key will be 0 $b[] = 'a'; $b[] = 'b'; $b[] = 'c'; // will result in the array array(0 => 'a' , 1 => 'b' , 2 => 'c'), // or simply array('a', 'b', 'c') ?>
Note that it is currently not possible to change the values of the array directly in such a loop. A workaround is the following:
This example creates a one-based array.
Arrays are ordered. You can also change the order using various sorting functions. See the array functions section for more information. You can count the number of items in an array using the count() function.
Because the value of an array can be anything, it can also be another array. This way you can make recursive and multi-dimensional arrays.
Example 6-10. Recursive and multi-dimensional arrays
You should be aware that array assignment always involves value copying. You need to use the reference operator to copy an array by reference.

The other day I was talking to a fellow at work about bad movies. Apparently, he hadn't realized that ABRAHAM LINCOLN, VAMPIRE HUNTER was a book first before it was a movie. (And yes, I realize we probably should have been a little more productive with our time).
"Oh, really?" he said, "I just assumed it was a bunch of writers, sitting in a room picking random words out of hats. Like, okay name: Abraham Lincoln. Random noun: Vampire. Profession: Hunter."
I laughed. "Good thing they didn't get Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Gynecologist. Although, that I might have been able to sit through."
We had a good laugh, but it got me thinking. What if that was really how they got ideas for movies? I decided I had to give it a try myself, so I did. I got three bowls, one for famous historical figures, one for random nouns and one for professions. This is what I came up with. (And by the way, if any of these spark a story idea for you, please feel free!)
Joan of Arc, Bacon Teacher
George Washington, Cloud Embalmer
Julius Caesar, Eggplant Waiter
Thomas Edison, Toenail Biographer
Queen Victoria, Snake Pirate
I will admit, that was a lot of fun. I'm most intrigued by Queen Victoria, Snake Pirate and George Washington, Cloud Embalmer. Now, if I really wanted to challenge myself, I'd write stories to go with them...

Quartz CountertopsQuartz countertops are stylish and durable enough for any kitchen or bathroom setting
Quartz Countertops in Kahului
If you're looking to add new countertops to your kitchen or bathroom setting, be sure to visit Hawaiian Carpet One in Kahului to check out our selection of quartz countertops. Quartz has quickly become one of the most popular options in homes, so we're happy to have one of the area's best selections.
Why has quartz become so popular? Quartz countertops are made from over 90% natural quartz, so they do offer the natural looks that you'd expect from something like granite. But, unlike granite, quartz is infused with composite materials such as resin. As a result, quartz manufacturers are able to control some of the design aspects, so they can create looks that homeowners actually want.
More importantly, because quartz is infused with composite materials, it is much more durable than granite and other natural stone options. Quartz, for example, will not scratch or scuff, so it never needs to be sealed and resealed. And, quartz is considered non-porous, so liquids will never seep past the surface. Because of this, quartz countertops are practical if you do a lot of cooking in your kitchen.
Also, quartz countertops have a consistent color and pattern through the entire construction. Consequently, any surface blemishes or abrasions will be difficult to see. Natural stone options such as granite do not have this consistency, so any markings on the surface are easily noticeable.
To learn more about quartz countertops, be sure to visit our showroom today to work with one of our experts. We're the experts when it comes to bathroom and kitchen countertops, so we'll certainly help you make the perfect choice for your home.

There are a couple of theories among Oakland players as to why the National League champion San Francisco Giants gave a four-year, multimillion-dollar contract to their slugger, Will Clark, after the 1989 season, while the World Series champion Athletics limited their slugger, Jose Canseco, to a one-year contract.
One theory, held by Canseco, is that while Clark is white, he is Hispanic and a victim of racism, like Clark's black teammate Kevin Mitchell.
''Will Clark can't do anything wrong,'' Canseco said before Friday night's game against Seattle. ''He represents baseball, America and you know the rest. But Mitchell is black and I'm Latin, so we don't. That definitely has something to do with it.''
Canseco's teammate Dave Stewart, a black pitcher who just signed a two-year extension of his own contract, has a different theory. ''Will Clark works hard and gets to the park on time,'' he said. ''You don't have to wonder what Clark will do. Jose is unpredictable. You don't know what he'll do.''(AP)Continue reading the main story

Wiskey Diggins, Calafornia [California] Nov 18th 1852
Dear Brother, I owe you an apology for not writing
to you before this, but before I shall close this sheet
you will perhaps see the excuse I had for not writing
before. We are all of us in pretty good health and spirits.
I hope these lines may find you all in the enjoyment
of like blessings. I have received but one letter from
home since our arrival in Cala [California], and that one was
from my wife dated June 20 in which she stated that
you and James Baker had both written to me. I have
not seen them. If you would have me get letters
direct them to Marysville, Cala [California]. Since we arived [arrived] in
this place, we have done as well as we could expect to
do under the circumstances. We have had but very
little water until within a week past, and for a
week or more we have had nothing but rain & snow
day and night, we are encouraged to think that as
soon as the weather shall settle we can do better than
we have done. When there is a sufficient quantity of
water [,] the mines here are worked with sluices and
gold is taken out with them as safely and with greater
facility than with a [?]. I think before you get
this that Frank Goodbody will have arrived at home
and if you will spend an hour or two with him
you will get more information concerning the mines
in this place and the mode of working them than I
could give you in a whole sheet. Try it.
[p.2] I wrote a letter to my wife and sent by Frank Goodbody
which I expect she has got by this time and 10 oz.
of clean dust that I sent with it. Since that time we
have laid in our winter's stock of provisions which
consist of 700 lbs of flour $21 per hundred [lbs], [illegible] pork $31 per 100 [lbs.,]
½ bbl [barrel?] salmon 18$, 108 lbs sugar [$] 13*, 107 lbs ham [$]32*, 475 lbs potatoes
[$]6*, 106 [lbs] onions [$]12* [*a line above the numbers may be an abbreviation for
"per 100 lbs"], and other small articles to am[moun]t of 20-
hundred and fifty five pound[s]. I've paid $7 per [illegible] freight
on it from Marysville to this place on wagons, 85 miles
altogether. Our provisions and freight have cost
us five hundred dollars. We have good claims
that will pay even[?] from the top to the bed rock
from 2 to 3 cts [cents] to the bucket[.] others[,] perhaps[,] would
not work such ground, but would spend their
time and money in looking for something better[,]
but we are content to let well enough alone[.]
the diggins [diggings] here are new and not much prospected
and we have ground enough to keep us at work
for two or three years or longer if we should think
of staying here. It is impossible to say how long it will
take us to make our piles, But I think some of us
may[,] if we all have our health[,] be at home about this
time another year. I hope you will answer this
as soon as you get it and let me know all the little
particulars that you can gather from one end of the
Ridge to the other as they will be quite interesting
to us you know. Last week I was at Downieville [?]
on the north abo[ut] twenty eight miles from this place, and
I saw a man by the name of Graham that had been acquainted
[p.3] with Secret Glen Cave he called it and he told me it
had all been worked out this last season. I have
therefore given up all hopes of even seeing it as
long as I can get moderate wages where I am.
the only work I have done since I came to this
place has been with a cradle and the best earth
I have found was 32 buckets $10.50. A few days after
Frank left us I got a letter by Express mailed at
Sacramento City and directed to Geo[rge] Huntoon and
what to make of it I cannot say[.] I will copy it
entire below and let you see for yourself if
it was not enough to astonish anyone.
Sept.10 Dear Brother, I take this time to write a
few lines to you not knowing wheather [whether] you will
get it or not[.] I will not write much. I ar[r]ived here
August 29[.] I received a letter from home before I
left the States. Started for Calafornia [California] I am now
about 30 miles above Sacramento on South fork of
the American River about four miles above Mormon
Island to work at Macdonal [?] Company at six
dollars per day[.] The wages will be better in a few days.
If you get this letter, write to me[.] Direct your letter to
Sacramento, and I will get it from there by express.
I was to Dixon [?] Springs, and Hamblin George has gone home.
William Huntoon
to George Huntoon.
I sent an answer to the above letter as soon as
I got it, but have heard nothing from it since, and if
you can solve the mistery [mystery] for me please do it as soon*

06/02/15 Australian Artist Jeremyville Likes His San Miguel Beer
Words by Margarita Buenaventura
One can't help but see Australian artist Jeremyville's work as a creative cocktail of sorts: a base of potent fun, a spritz of psychedelia, and a few dribbles of wisdom. His art welcomes its viewer to a world where Little Miss and Mr. Men characters run about and rainbows are in abundance—an experience much like a sweet, manageable acid trip.
The creative dynamo shuttles between Sydney and New York. Beyond art exhibited in the world's premier galleries, he is also a product designer, an animator, and a book author (check out the designer toy must-read Vinyl Will Kill! ). And after collaborations with brands that have spanned Nike and Uniqlo, he's currently producing an animated show for Disney.
Last month, Jeremyville visited Manila to launch his exhibit at Vinyl On Vinyl. Open to the public until June 9 are some of the artist's paintings, porcelain sculptures, and a number of his popular Service Announcement prints.
Also on show was the Australian artist's distinctive positivity. After a long session of drawing cartoon cats and vanilla sundaes for his Manila fans, he sat down with NOUS to talk about turning the world into his office, trying Philippine beer, and looking at the bright side of things.
Hey, Jeremyville. How did you decide what to draw for everyone?
Oh, at the table? I just asked everyone for an animal or any idea. I drew off that then added some elements into it, some abstractions. It's actually quite interesting to have it open, 'cause it's almost like an invitation for the individual who owns it to have his own interpretation. Yeah, I think that's cool. If it's too obvious, it sort of ends the interaction very quickly. If it's a bit more open, it's actually more of an entry in.
A lot of your art seems to have a very optimistic outlook. How do you maintain that, given all that's going on in the world today?
I am, I think, a broadly optimistic person. But, of course, like everyone else, I have hard afternoons and hard times. I've always actually found that art is an answer and understands who I am, and often that exploration is an optimistic answer. That's why the art actually comes across as a positive affirmation. I don't always have that, but it's what I end up with, do you know what I mean? Obviously, I have turmoil, issues, and concerns—as everyone has—and I have a whole other area of art where I explore that actual turmoil. I enjoy being able to create all forms of art, besides optimistic art. I think art ought to be a reflection of us, but intricate.
Definitely. I'm also curious about how you manage bouncing between New York and Sydney for work.
Yeah, over at the east coast in NYC, the energy of the whole town is unbelievable. I mean, it provided inspiration for Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, like the streets and the people. A lot of my clients are there, and it's easy to access the EU… and Oz, it's all about the ocean and the outdoors. And whenever I travel, I'm just at a hotel, I have a sketchbook and draw. I just have to scan the image into Illustrator. It's great—I can work on awesome projects from all over the world. The actual concept of the office for me has changed. I was actually just in Bangkok, and in the evenings, I'd end up at the hotel, draw, and e-mail off artwork.
That sounds exhausting.
It is, yeah. But I think if you just have some sort of plan, and have a system where every hour, you execute something. Otherwise, it just explodes. As I'm sure you understand.
Yeah! Maybe not on your level, but yeah.
No! (Laughs) Each of us has our own thing, and I'm always trying to improve the hours. I'm trying to improve the efficiency of your time. It's awesome, then you're able to take on extra projects.
You do get to do a lot of things, too, like brand collaborations. How do you balance commercializing your art with keeping your artistic integrity intact?
Yes, yes, absolutely. I think each of the projects, I always add who I am in it. So I wouldn't only choose a project for income. The only projects I choose are actually sincere and true to who I am. And the client understands it. So I have all this freedom. I would only take on a project that I enjoy, I absolutely enjoy. And the client is awesome, understands who I am, and I understand the client too. There ought to be an element of trust, and it's easy. And if there isn't, it's actually hard. Through the years, I've always tried to find an excellent fit, and really, that's intuition.
I noticed you're drinking San Miguel Pale Pilsen. What do you think of it?
It's good! Someone here just handed it to me, and it's excellent. It's an easy drink. Is it from here?
Yeah, it's from the Philippines.
It's good! Yeah. I like it. And it's easy to hold too. (Laughs)

Wall Street Journal: Republican Jay Faison Launches Super PAC to Boost Clean-Energy Candidates
Republican millionaire Jay Faison is pushing his party to embrace clean energy, saying conservatives don't need to be on the defensive on climate issues.
The North Carolina businessman launched a super PAC that will spend at least $5 million on behalf of about a dozen congressional Republicans who embrace clean-energy policies. That effort comes on top of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, called the ClearPath Foundation, that launched last summer with $165 million in funding from profits Mr. Faison earned selling his company a few years earlier.
New York Times: In Britain, a Green Utility Company Sees Winds of Change
British electric company SSE is rethinking its energy mix, reconsidering plans for large wind farms and even restarting a mothballed power plant that runs on fossil fuel.
The moves reflect the existential debate faced by many major power companies as they grapple with real-world energy economics and shifts in government policy. The calculus for fossil fuels can be more favorable at a time when energy prices are low, and countries like Britain are rethinking subsidies on renewables to keep electricity prices down.
In this environment, it might be hard for even the most clean-minded power companies to help countries meet the goals set in the landmark Paris climate deal.
"The profitability of renewables is lower than a few years back," said Deepa Venkateswaran, a utility analyst at Bernstein Research in London. "If power prices fall, their revenues fall."
PV-Tech: Germany's Revised Solar-Plus-Storage Scheme Launches in March
Germany's support program for solar-plus-storage systems, which offers a rebate on the devices, has been officially relaunched as expected by the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy.
The scheme, administered through the national development bank KfW, was due to expire at the end of 2015. It offered around US$635 per kilowatt-hour of storage capacity and was available only when installing storage in conjunction with PV.
The incentive also only applies for electrochemical storage batteries connected to the grid, with the scheme reopening on 1 March. The ministry for economic affairs and industry said it has a budget of 30 million euros for the program until the end of 2018.
Climate Central: Study Reveals Stunning Acceleration of Sea-Level Rise
The oceans have heaved up and down as world temperatures have waxed and waned, but as new research tracking the past 2,800 years shows, never during that time did the seas rise as sharply or as suddenly as has been the case during the last century.
The new study, the culmination of a decade of work by three far-flung teams of scientists, has charted what they call an "acceleration" in sea level rise that's triggering and worsening flooding in coastlines around the world.
The findings also warn of much worse to come.
Vox: The U.S. Coal Industry Is Falling Apart. Here's the Surprising Reason Why.
Dozens of U.S. mining companies have declared bankruptcy in the past few years. More are on the verge.
What's going on? What is killing U.S. coal?
The conventional answer to that question is that less coal is being burned for electricity in the U.S., thanks to cheap natural gas, renewables, and federal regulations.
And that's part of it. But not the only part, or even the biggest. The biggest driver of U.S. coal's decline isn't happening in the U.S. at all.

While creating the Sehvit program, we spent a great deal of time speaking with Canadian business owners from all sectors. We learned a great deal about the concerns and needs of owners, finding many similarities. Inspired by our conversations, our Sehvit for Businesses series of blog posts illustrates just a few examples of the program.
Common to most businesses is the struggle to both connect with and retain new customers. Most business owners have never considered starting or joining a loyalty program, thinking that it it simply too expensive and difficult to implement.
If this sounds familiar, you are in good company. The Sehvit program was created with businesses like yours in mind. The first of its kind, the Sehvit program allows you as a business owner to tailor the program to your needs.

Eagle Eye Institute
In 1989, 500,000 young people from around the world gathered in Spain for World Youth Day. The world was stunned. Why had these young people come to see this Pope? What could have attracted them? A journalist asked the Holy Father how he had gotten the idea for World Youth Day. What had he come to see? His response was astonishing: "I have come to greet the martyrs of the third millennium."
The Eagle Eye School of Evangelization draws its inspiration from this vision of young people. In a special way, it desires to make the summons to a New Evangelization issued by Pope Paul VI in his 1975 encyclical letter On Evangelization in the Modern World a reality for men and women of today. Through an incessant effort of conversion to Christ, the participants will gain the zeal and intelligence necessary to pass on the Church's ancient Faith to modern man by modern means.
To this end, the School of Evangelization will strive to form young disciples of Christ, ready to spread the Gospel:
- By plunging them in a direct and intimate knowledge of the Person of Christ
- By directly engaging them in the concrete work of the New Evangelization.
- By allowing them to bear witness to others
- By providing a real formation in knowledge of the arts and culture
- By offering the opportunity to learn necessary skills for Youth Ministry
The Eagle Eye School of Evangelization will form the young people according to the Word of God as held by the Faith of the Roman Catholic Church and expressed by the Church Fathers and St. Thomas Aquinas, and lived according to the particular charism of the Congregation of St. John. This particular charism was given to the Church through the life and writings of its founder, Father Marie Dominique Philippe, O.P.
Students enrolled in the School of Evangelization choose to live together for ten months within the context of the life of the Brothers and Sisters of St. John. Two Brothers in particular will work directly with the students, effectively providing them with the formation they seek. They will be engaged in the following aspects of Christian life and teaching: liturgical prayer, personal prayer, Philosophy and Theology classes, Lection Divina (divine reading of the Word of God), formation for evangelization, apostolate work, and formation for youth ministry. Those young men and women who are accepted into the program will receive the very best formation which the Brothers and Sisters can offer at the service of the New Evangelization.
Living together, working together, praying together, these young people will form a community of friends of Jesus, earnestly seeking to make him known and loved, like the first Christians. They will live a common life focused on hearing Christ's cry of thirst so as to make known his merciful love in the modern world.

Hitman Absolution by Metacritic was an utter failure (read: anything less than an 80 and doesn't fit into the series in a way that is familiar to diehard fans). I'm not necessarily denying or agreeing with this assessment, but the popular discourse around the game is that for the most part it's not worth playing relative to the other games in the series. I skipped out on this entry in the series for exactly that reason.
But after watching the video below from Cameron Kunzelman, a games writer and maker at thiscageisworms.com I realized that the dismissal of "low rated" and casual (an attitude I exhibited myself) can sometimes overlook genuinely unique or even good game design decisions. The Hitman Absolution developers, IO Interactive, in response to such criticism have moved away from the model of this game with the latest Hitman, taking a "going back to the roots" philosophy so common to the recent reboot narrative.
Kunzelman's reading of Hitman Absolution examines the smaller components within the whole of a game through a sort of lesson gathering lens. Hitman Absolution isn't necessarily a great game by most standards, but it still has a lot to say about game design and how to develop a world and story. Kunzelman's analysis pivots on the notion of "strangeness", the unconventional aspects of the game that make it stand out. He describes this "strangeness" as follows:
Strangeness in games generally means that they are doing something unrecognizable or unique or interesting when compared to other games.
Emphasis on the way in which "strangeness" can elevate parts of a game that as a whole wasn't necessarily well received. Anyway, I don't have any more insight than the video, so jump to it. Kunzelman's close reading of the game is genuinely intriguing and makes a compelling case for picking up the game during a Steam sale or what not. It's not only a good model of how to read games in an interesting way, but how to add another level of satisfaction to your play.

While the smart phone industry is currently being dominated by a lot of companies, but, Samsung and Apple are considered as the biggest rivals. One of the primary reasons of this rivalry is the fact that the smartphones manufactured by these tech giants are the most popular ones.
Over 30% of the current market share is acquired by Samsung and Apple, and the phones manufactured by both the companies are always the most <g class="gr_ gr_102 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" data-gr-id="102" id="102">high end</g> phones with an array of astounding features to impress the customers. Both companies always try to present better smart phone to acquire the bigger market share, that's why the iPhone and Samsung smartphones are always compared.

Image Source

Most often, the people who are able to spend over $800 for their new smart phone either choose Apple iPhone or Samsung's most <g class="gr_ gr_82 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" data-gr-id="82" id="82">high end</g> smartphones.
At present, the two smartphones, which have become the talk of the town are Samsung Galaxy S9 and iPhone 8. The release date of both, iPhone 8 and Samsung Galaxy S9 is quite close, and everyone is speculating which one of these would dominate the market.
Here is a close comparison of the technical specs of the two smartphones

Display

Samsung is going to introduce 4K technology in its upcoming smart phone Samsung Galaxy S9 while Apple is planning to change the standard LCD display of its devices to OLED. Samsung, on the other hand offering a curved display, which the company calls as "Infinity Display".

Image Source

OLED can significantly help Apple iPhone to deliver an outstanding display, as with OLED different pixels can brighten up differently. One of the ironic things here is, Samsung is going to supply <g class="gr_ gr_96 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" data-gr-id="96" id="96">these OLED</g> enabled <g class="gr_ gr_95 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="95" id="95">display</g> to the Apple.
Samsung's phones have always delivered outstanding performance when it comes to <g class="gr_ gr_105 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" data-gr-id="105" id="105">display</g> of its devices, but, here the competition is between Samsung Galaxy S9, and iPhone 8 who's display is also manufactured by Samsung (due to which we can expect an extraordinary quality).

Processor

Samsung is planning to launch Galaxy S9 with Snapdragon 845 processor, made using the 7 NM manufacturing process, while the Apple is planning to launch its next smartphone with an A11 processor made using the 10 NM manufacturing process.

Image Source

However, as per the current <g class="gr_ gr_93 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" data-gr-id="93" id="93">rumours</g>, the Apple's processor for its upcoming device will be able to deliver better performance than the best mobile phone processor of current time "A10 Fusion".

Image Source

So, as per the current speculations, Apple is going to have the best processor.

Camera

While Samsung didn't improve much in its Samsung Galaxy S8 camera, but, significant improvements are expected in the Galaxy S9. Also, the photography is always a standout feature in the Samsung Galaxy phones, and the S9 is simply going to carry this legacy ahead.
Furthermore, by equipping the camera with the Bixby vision, the Samsung has made the camera a bit smarter. It will provide the users the contextual information about what they are viewing from the camera. Also, the 8MP front <g class="gr_ gr_85 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="85" id="85">selfie friendly</g> camera is an added advantage.

Image Source

On the other hand, Apple is going to completely innovate with the camera. It is expected that the camera would have a vertical configuration, and this dual lens camera will possibly be equipped with AR capabilities.

Operating System

While Apple is planning to launch the new device with iOS 11, Samsung is planning to equip its Galaxy 9 smart phones with Android Nougat 7.0. Android Nougat 7.0 comes with an array of options that make customization much easier and facilitate a whole new range of new features.

One of the features that may give Galaxy 9 a better ranking than Apple iPhone 8 is DeX. With Dex, you can connect your phone to the desktop and use it the way you use the computer or laptop.

Price

When it comes to price, Samsung is always a clear winner because Samsung delivers much <g class="gr_ gr_88 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" data-gr-id="88" id="88">more in</g> smaller price. Apple's phones are priced a bit higher than their Android counterparts. So, like always, Samsung Galaxy S9 would be a little lower in price than Apple iPhone 8.

Samsung Galaxy S9 v/s Apple iPhone 8: Verdict

Well, 2017 is certainly going to be a lot more interesting as soon Apple will launch the iPhone 8 and Samsung has already started to prepare for the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S9 in the early next year.
Samsung's Galaxy S8 that was launched in the early this <g class="gr_ gr_99 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Style replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="99" id="99">year,already</g> showed how Samsung is pushing the innovation. There are so many features in the Samsung's Galaxy S9, that, the users will simply get tempted own a Samsung phone. Though, Apple is never far behind the Samsung, but, Samsung has always offered more in lesser price. As a result, many Apple users may get converted and give Samsung a try.

Several features that Apple is planning to launch are already there in Samsung, and that's <g class="gr_ gr_100 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="100" id="100">why,</g> Samsung may get extra points for introducing innovation.

Undoubtedly, it is one of the best phones released so far in 2017, whose fast speed and unmatched performance make it a star performer. While the features like its battery life, wireless charging, water resistance and curved screen make it a top phone, but, its awkwardly placed finger print scanner may give you a reason to hate the phone every time you try to unlock it. Overall, it's one of the best smart phones to own and it really justifies its high price.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Highlights

Incredibly comfortable design

World-class in-box headphones

Faster performance

Stunning display

Outstanding design

Beautifully curved screen

A good camera and battery life

A plethora of customization options

Design and Display

Over the past few years, Samsung has been innovating with the design of its smartphones with the refinement of the metal build and the glass, and Samsung Galaxy S8 has proven it again that no one can design better screens and phone design. Curved screen and the new Infinity display make the Samsung Galaxy S8 an extraordinary handset.

The new edge technology not only contributes to the phone's exceptional looks but also ensure that the size of the phones does not get out of control.

Samsung has notably jumped from a 5.1" display to a 5.8" display and that too without much augmentation to the size of the phone.

The AMOLED display ensures a colossal range of colors and contrasts, and the pixel density of 570ppi is simply impressive. The full HD resolution adds up to the overall display. Also, the curve of the screen is much more subtle when compared to the previous Samsung devices.

Awkwardly Placed Fingerprint Scanner

The back of the Samsung Galaxy S8 is the place where Samsung has fallen short in design expertise and has taken the worst decision.

By removing the physical home button from the device, Samsung had to find a place for the phone's fingerprint scanner, and somehow they chose a weird place for it. They combined the fingerprint scanner with the device's heart rate monitor located next to the rear camera. It makes it cumbersome to use, and most of the times it leads to the camera smears. Also, it takes longer to unlock and when you have to do it several times a day, it starts making you feel irritated.

Processor

Which processor would power your Samsung Galaxy S8 will completely depend on the fact that in which part of the world you live in.

The UK model of the device is equipped with company's new Exynos 9 8895 chip, and the models being sold in other parts of the world boast a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. The Exynos version is provided with the Mali-G71 MP8 GPU, and the Snapdragon one possesses the Adreno 540 GPU.

The performance of the Samsung Galaxy S8 is excellent and the graphics boost is specifically noteworthy. Even when you switch to the optimum pixels, the frame rates don't drop much. There are no performance concerns or issues, and it delivers the best performance when compared with all its counterparts including iPhone 7.

Memory and Storage

The standard version of Samsung Galaxy S8 has been festooned with a 4GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage. There's also a different version when it comes to memory and storage specs, and it has 6GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage, but, it has been specifically designed or the Asian market.
Also, there's an SD card slot which can extend the storage by up to 256 GB.

 Connectivity

Samsung has equipped the Samsung Galaxy S8 will all the high-end and latest connectivity ports. It possesses LTE CAT 16, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC and a dual band 11 ac WiFi with a reversible USB-C port. The heart rate monitor is also there, but, it has been displaced and is put next to the rear camera.

 Battery Life

After Galaxy Note 7 batteries started catching fire, the reputation of Samsung for mobile phone batteries got badly affected. So, when the Samsung Galaxy S8 was launched, people were worried about its battery too.

Image
At this time, Samsung took a wise decision and instead of stretching the boundaries with battery, they did not try to make battery very efficient and used safer 3,000 mAh batteries for Galaxy 8.
The battery back up is good, it also charges pretty fast and delivers satisfactory results. The battery life is not extraordinary but is safer to use.

 Camera

After Note 7, Samsung did not introduce many changes in the camera. So, the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S8 is quite similar to its predecessors, and but, delivers high-quality photography experience.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is equipped with a 12 MP dual pixel camera with a striking f/1.7 aperture and supports 4K recording.
One of the features worth mentioning is "Multi-Frame Image Processing". With this feature, the camera clicks three shots of an image instead of one and uses the extra shots to improve the image quality in the primary shot like correcting the blurs and perfecting the other elements like focus.

 Android Nougat 7.0

The phone is loaded with the latest version of Android, that is, Nougat 7.0. It has a cleaner interface, is easy to use and there are many pre-installed apps.

Customization is very easy and there is a plethora of things which you can customize. There are innumerable things in the settings menu which you can use to customize your phone as per your choice. The navigation buttons are right on the screen, and thus, its easy to swap between recent apps.

 Bixby

This is one of the new features offered by Samsung in its Galaxy S8. It's actually the Samsung's answer to Apple's Siri, and Samsung has even provided a dedicated Bixby button on the side of the phone using which you can use to launch the app quickly.

With Bixby, you can do a lot of things by simply talking to it. The languages available in Bixby are limited, and currently, it only understands Korean and English.

 DeX

 Another new feature, DeX is actually a docking station which allows you to use your the Samsung Galaxy S8 as a makeshift PC.
Using the USB-C, you can connect the phone, and once your phone is docked, you can access a custom desktop style interface in which you can open the apps, resize them, and access them in the separate windows just the way you do on a desktop.

 Verdict

The latest flagship from Samsung, the Samsung Galaxy S8 possesses all the features that are needed in a good, smart phone, and the one with which you can upgrade your existing handset. The biometrics feature is a letdown, and the price is a bit on the higher side, but, apart from these, it is the best phone of 2017.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Concept

While the launch and release date of Samsung Galaxy S9 is still quite far, but, the Samsung patrons and the tech experts have already started speculating the features and technical specs of this upcoming smart phone.
Samsung is known for introducing innovation through its astounding range of smart phones, and the Samsung Galaxy S9 will certainly be loaded with an array of advanced features, interesting tools and an amazing set of apps.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Features

The most well awaited features of the Samsung Galaxy S9 are the IR Blaster and NFC. Also, many tech experts are expecting that this new smartphone would arrive with a huge battery backup, and safer batteries. One of the downsides of the Samsung's phones is the battery, and23w many people consider it unsafe.
But, this time Samsung will ensure that the phone batteries are the star performer. The battery would have an amazingly long backup and will be much more secure. There are many other features that the Samsung Galaxy S9 will come equipped with "Star" Codename

 The code name given to the Samsung Galaxy S9 is "Star", and as per the alleged rumours, this code name has to do with improved performance specs or enhanced display.
One of the common guesses about this code name is that it implies improved and refined Infinity display. The other guess is that, the new phone might come equipped with a superior processor that will make it perform like a shooting star.

Three Edged Infinity Display for Samsung Galaxy S9
The Samsung Galaxy S8 was launched with an edge to edge infinity display, and it received amazing response from the customers, So, Samsung will continue with the Infinity display for the new phone as well.

It is expected that the Samsung Galaxy S9 will sport a three edge Infinity display, which implies that the screen would be curved from the three sides subsuming the top, and will have a 4K resolution. A gorilla glass 4 would be used to give the protection to the phone's 5.5 inch screen.
The fingerprint sensor would be embedded under the phone's display, and users would be able to unlock the phone or authenticate the payments by touching anywhere on the screen.

 5G Network Support

Considering the upcoming networking technologies, Samsung is anticipated to equip its Samsung Galaxy S9 with a 1 Gbps TE Cat16 wireless chip that will make the phone compatible with faster LTE networks.
Also, this new smartphone will be compatible with 5G networks and thus, its users will not face any problems in accessing faster internet services which will be introduced in future.

 Waterproof Design

As waterproof designs are becoming another popular trend among the smart phones, the Samsung is allegedly expected to have a new type of glass coating that will simply bounce off the water falling on the phone's screen. This is why, people would be able to use it in rain or shower easily. Also, it will have strong waterproofing.

 Outstanding Technical Specs

 The Samsung Galaxy S9 is expected to come equipped with 6 B or 8 GB RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB internal storage that can further be extended with an SD card.
Currently, the Samsung Galaxy S8 is powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor, but the Samsung Galaxy S9 is expected to have a Snapdragon 845 processor. This new processor will be built using the 7nm manufacturing process, which will make the phone exceptionally powerful and extremely energy efficient.

The current phone, Samsung Galaxy S8's Snapdragon delivers an impressive performance. It consumes 30% less battery and is 27% faster as compared to its predecessor that was built using 14nm manufacturing process. The Samsung Galaxy S8 phones were built using 10nm manufacturing process, and the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 is expected to be built using 7nm.
The Bixby 2.0 would be upgraded and made more powerful for the Samsung Galaxy S9, and the AI assistant might initially speak only English and Korean. However, future up-gradations are possible.
So, you can expect how much its performance would improve. Indeed, it would perform, like a shooting star.

 Dual Camera

Another rumoured, feature of the much anticipated Samsung Galaxy S9 is the dual-camera system. iPhone 7 and LG C6 has made the dual camera system, much of a trend, and it is expected that Samsung will also follow this new market trend while equipping its upcoming Galaxy phone with the same.
There weren't many improvements in the camera of Samsung Galaxy S8, but, Samsung is not going to repeat the same for its new smart phone.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Launch Date

Usually, Samsung launches its S series smart phones are launched at the MWC events in February. The next years MWC (Mobile World Congress) is scheduled for late February or early March, and many tech insiders are expecting that Samsung will launch the Samsung Galaxy S9 in this event, and will make it available for sales a couple of weeks after the event.

With all these speculated features, it seems that the new Samsung smart phone is going to be one of the most advanced future devices that will make many smart phone owners crave for an upgrade of their current device. But, which all features will be a part of it, which are just rumours would only become clear once the phone is launched in the next year.

Just a few weeks back, Galaxy S8 arrived in the market, but, as per the current reports, Galaxy S9 will soon make its debut in the market as well. Samsung, the renowned smartphone giant has already started the production of Samsung Galaxy S9, and as soon as it is completed, this smartphone would be released in the market.

With a 5.7 inch display, it is going to have a lot of attractive features that will make the Samsung Galaxy S9 one of the best smartphones available in the market.

 Galaxy s9 Speculated Release Date

If the current rumours are to be believed, the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus would be launched either by the end of 2017, or in the early 2018. Some reports even claim that Samsung might launch its new handset at the MWC' 2018.
Whatever be the scenario, but, one thing is for sure, that the new successor of Samsung Galaxy S8 will come in the markets in less than a year after its launch.

 Galaxy s9 Price
While there is no word yet on the pricing of the new phone, but, one can expect the prices close to Samsung Galaxy S8.
In the Indian market, the expected price is close to 70K.

 Cardinal Features

The Samsung Galaxy S9 will run on Android Nougat 7.1, and will have an octa core processor with 6GB RAM. The chipset is Qualcomm Snapdragon, and the GPU is Adreno.
Also, the speculations are also rife that Galaxy S9 is going to be the first Samsung phone to feature an AMOLED screen, which has been codenamed as "Sunflower". While the tech experts and industry insiders have not confirmed it yet, but it's likely that the smartphone giant and the biggest competitor of Apple, Samsung, is planning to improve the display fidelity in its new range of smartphones.

 Galaxy S9 Camera
The Samsung Galaxy S9 will boast a 16MP camera as the main snapper, and an 8MP front-facing selfie shooter on the front.

 Storage
It will be available in the two variants in terms of internal storage, 64 GB, and 128 GB and the external storage can be extended up to 2TB.

 Other Features

AMOLED Display

Wireless Charging

Gorilla Glass 5

OTG Support

Waterproof

VoLTE

Nonremovable Li-Ion mAH Battery

Dual Rear Facing Camera

Bixby AI Assistant with A Dedicated Button

With all these features, it is certainly going to give a stiff competition Apple's new smart phone iPhone 8 which is also going to release in 2017

- Iceland All inclusive holidays
Iceland lives up to its frosty name, with more than a tenth of its surface covered by glaciers and ice caps, and year-round temperatures in Reykjavik only reach about 13C, with lows around freezing point or just below in the winter. But it also meets its billing as a holiday hotspot thanks to its geothermal and volcanic activity, and many all-inclusive Iceland holidays offer the perfect chance to experience this up close too, with tours of hot springs, geysers and volcanic cauldrons. Where else can you see an ice floe and a lava flow all in the same day trip?
Beneath a blanket of stars
Reykjavik's Old Harbour is a magical place after dark, so take a stroll away from the city and look back across the water at the lights. If you're lucky, look above and you may see the coloured wisps of the Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the Northern Lights, too - often faint, but sometimes bright and brilliant against the speckled black backdrop of the starry sky. They're one more reason why so many people find cheap holidays in Iceland so appealing, and return to visit time and time again.
An eco-friendly island
This landscape of hot and cold - and particularly the hot part of it - actually allows Iceland to be a very eco-friendly destination. Its geothermal activity provides heat that can be used in energy generation, meaning Iceland not only has all the power it needs, but that power is from a renewable source. This makes cheap holidays to Iceland a very environmentally friendly option, if you're looking for a getaway that will last long in your mind, without doing any lasting damage to the environment.
Going all-inclusive to Iceland
One more great reason to take an all-inclusive Iceland holiday is the fact that the interior of the island is almost entirely unpopulated, with the inhabitants found just in the cities dotted all the way around the coast, and particularly the west, east and north coasts. This means that during your stay, you are very likely to remain close to your hotel throughout the days and nights alike, so it makes good sense to choose from all-inclusive Iceland holiday packages and be able to order food and drinks whenever you feel hungry or thirsty, rather than at set times of day.
Why should I choose an all-inclusive holiday to Iceland?
The big advantage of choosing an all-inclusive holiday to Iceland is the way in which you can make the most of your time in this unique destination. With so much to experience, from Northern Light spotting to relaxing in hot springs, you won't want to waste a moment worrying about costs. With an all-inclusive holiday to Iceland you leave all your budgeting behind. As your accommodation, meals and drinks are already covered, you can get on with your adventure without having to worry about extras adding up. Let yourself discover all this fascinating land of ice has to offer.

Destiny is like the fruits of your garden tree. It's not easy to harvest the ripe fruits from the big trees of your garden. You have to find some measures to pull those from the tall trees. Otherwise, you cannot use those fruits for your purposes. In the same way, you have to try hard to achieve those, which were written in your destiny. Exactly like the climbing up on the tree or about finding other steps to pull the fruits from your garden tree. It depends on how badly you want those in your animation and how much effort you put to achieve that. Paulo Coelho said, "When you want something, the entire universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
Suppose, you went to an astrologer and he predicted more or less good things about your future. You felt very good about that and kept your eyes on your future when those things will happen in your life, without getting any substantial endeavor. And when the time arrives, you realize you cannot attain those good things. Then, you start to curse the astrologer for his prediction.
But, things are not like that. The astrologer predicts your future by analyzing and counting on the planetary positions of your natal chart. His predictions are the fruits of your garden tree. You cannot get those if you don't take enough substantial efforts to achieve that.
Suppose, you know your predicted future, ask yourself, do you really want that or not. If yes, try hard for that. If no, wait for the time when the ripe fruit will hang down on your hand. By the way, sometimes stormy winds help in falling of fruits from the trees. The storm is always unanticipated and unwanted too because it also wastes the immature fruits of the tree. In those instances, you need to take measures after the tempest. Thus, don't lose your hope, if the bad times come in your way of achieving.
The fruits or the destiny is nothing but your good deeds in life. It may be your past life (who believe in reincarnation) or your good deeds of your present life. The fruits depend on how much you put your effort in taking care of the tree of your life. So, only your good deeds and true endeavor can help you to harvest the sweet and ripe fruits of your garden tree.

One of the many things I learned recently at the grilling class I took at Premier Grilling in Frisco, TX was how to make an all purpose salt that has herbs, garlic and green onions. You can check our their classes here: Premier Grilling Classes. It has me wondering why I haven't been doing this for the past 15 years?! It's that good. It's a simple process, dries out low and slow in the oven for two hours, and makes an excellent gift. Who doesn't love something delicious and homemade around the holidays?
The salt used is kosher salt. It's a great texture, and one of my favorite for seasoning everything from proteins to pasta water. It's also an affordable salt which is great when you're making a big batch of it for all your friends and neighbors. Fleur de Sel is my favorite salt for baking and it's a bit pricier.
As for the herbs, you can add anything you like, omit things you don't enjoy or don't have on hand. The ratio is 411, four cups of Kosher salt to 1 cup of garlic and 1 cup of herbs. I made a half recipe and it made enough to fill a half sheet pan and my food processor. If you don't have professional sized oven and kitchen equipment, you'll want to make the half recipe that I have listed below or do it in two batches and use two half sheet pans.
Garlic Herb Salt:
2 cups Kosher salt
1/2 cup fresh garlic cloves
1/2 cup fresh herbs
I used parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, green onions
Preheat your oven to 180F. Rough chop your herbs and remove and woody stems. Place all ingredients into a food processor and process until the garlic and herbs a chopped and everything is well combined. Do not over process. Place the salt herb mixture onto a sheet pan and place in the oven for 2 hours to dry out. You can stir it around a few times during the process. You do not want it to brown. The idea is to dehydrate the herbs and garlic, not roast it. After two hours, remove the pan or pans from the oven and allow the salt mixture to cool. Place the cooled salt mixture back into a food processor and process again to break up any larger pieces. The final texture is your preference or you can get it back to Kosher salt size. Pour into glass jars for storage and gifting!
Everything Avocado Toast
My obsession with avocados stems from growing up in Southern California. I will take an avocado in any form. I recently brought avocado toast to my Wednesday morning Moms of Preschoolers (MOPS) women's group and a few of the women asked for the recipe. It is so simple that I hesitate to call it a recipe but here it is in all of it's delicious simplicity. You can use any vessel for your "Toast". If you're gluten free or vegan, use your favorite bread products that fit your dietary needs, or consider roasted sweet potato slices, or organic rice cakes, which I happen to love. This recipe can be scaled to any size and I would plan on a third to half of a large avocado per serving. My favorite Everything Bagel Topping is made by King Arthur Flour and is available on their website, or Trader Joes has a great version also. I use it on everything and toast it dry, in a pan on the stove if I am using it on a product that will not be baked in the oven. You can also make your own mix of seasonings.
Everything Avocado Toast:
Toast of your choice, seedy whole grain bread or GF bread, or organic rice cakes
1 large avocado, ripe but still firm, diced small (1-2cm) or sliced thin
1/2 Meyer lemon (when in season) or fresh lemon, juice and zest
Splash of fresh lime juice, optional
Flaky sea salt, to taste
1-2 tsp Everything Bagel Topping, pan toasted (instructions follow)
In a small bowl, mix the avocado with the lemon juice, zest and optional lime juice.
Lightly toast the Everything Bagel Topping in a dry pan (no oil) over medium-low heat until golden brown. Immediately remove from heat and pan so it does not burn.
Top the toast of choice with some of the avocado mixture, a pinch of flaky sea salt and a generous sprinkle of toasted Everything Bagel Topping. Enjoy!
Baking Made Easy By Foodstirs
It's Friyay!!! That means it's time for some fun! Audrey and I love to bake together. Audrey also is about to turn three and has become a bit bossy in the kitchen. I was so excited to discover a product that we can both feel good about. She is in the phase where she wants to do everything herself and that can make baking a challenge when I have to measure everything. Most of my recipes are by weight and while she is learning her numbers she hasn't mastered the patience for a recipe just yet. I'm sure she will in due time. I was so elated when I found Foodstirs Modern Baking Mixes! They are organic! You can read the ingredients and know what is in the box without a science degree. No mystery ingredients, just the good stuff. We tried the Organic Chocolate Chippy Cookie Mix today and it is fantastic! I am so impressed with the product from start to last bite!
The mixes are all vegan and they have tons of ideas on their website of how you can keep them vegan, or you can use organic butter and eggs like we did today. I can't wait to try some more of their products. Foodstirs even has a monthly subscription available for kits that include everything you need to bake up some fun! It is such a great way to get the whole family in the kitchen together. ...more after the pics!
My husband came home around the same time the cookies came out of the oven. He was eager to be a taste taster and LOVED them. The box says it will yield about 24 cookies. We got 23 using my portion scoop after Audrey picked out lots of the chocolate chips before we got started. All around it was a fun thing for Audrey and I to make together and she was so proud and happy that her daddy loved them too!

More about this projectThis renovation was featured on the Sweeten blog.
Bath And Bedroom Renovations In The BronxPosted by Tara D. in High Bridge
Brief description
We recently purchased a pre-war co-op that has had the kitchen renovated, but needs to have the bathrooms done as well. We want to update the pumbing fixtures and tile in a full and 1/2 bath, as well as have some work done on closets in 2 bedrooms, in addition to installing ceiling fans in 3 rooms. Would also like to explore refinishing existing interior doors, replacing window trims as needed, and possibly re-working under counter kitchen cabinet to accommodate a wine refrigerator.
Project details
Entire Unit
Design and Build
Before Conditions
A little worn; Outdated
Bathrooms have not been updated in probably 30+ years
Scope of work
Bath 1 - update all fixtures (faucets, vanity, tub/shower faucets/toilet), possibly re-tile entire room, leave existing floor, replace window trim
Bath 2 - retile entire room, update all fixtures (vanity/faucets/shower fixtures/toilet), replace existing floor tile, replace window trim
Bedroom 1 - combine 2 small closets into one, install ceiling fan, replace window trim
Bedroom 2 - expand opening to existing closet, install ceiling fan, replace window trim
Small jobs in other rooms as needed TBD
From start to finish this team was with us all the way. We started looking for a GC early on, hoping to take our time to find the right firm. On our first phone call and subsequent face to face meeting, I knew they were going to be be the ones I could work with. I trusted them with my home (with our dog on site the whole time) for well over 6 months and could not be happier with the outcome.
At the end of our renovation, when we were in the final stages of finishing, a bathtub 2 floors above us had a major leak, soaking our new bathrooms with water. It was heartbreaking for us to see the ruined paint and drywall, knowing how hard the crew worked to install the bathrooms. This team was the ONLY contractor I wanted to do the repair work and they worked with us to make that happen.
Their crew is stellar. The GC, designer, plumber, carpenter, electricians are all highly professional and work hard to get the job done right. We were very pleased that all of the trades who came in had the same work ethic and high quality expectations as the core staff.

An interior style reimagined by Ralph Lauren, as well as on the runway by the likes of Prada and Marc Jacobs, tropical-inspired pieces can range from the uber-kitsch - we're talking parrots and lots of colors - to chic muted browns with a hint of pastels.
Safari Chic
If you're not quite ready to go the whole hog, then take inspiration from safari colors. Jazz a white sofa up with green-leaf patterned cushions, or finish a room with a subtle rug and a few bamboo touches.
Shake your tail feather
Bring some warmth indoors with bird and floral patterned pieces. These pieces can vary from the colors of the Rio carnival to works inspired by butterflies on Japanese silk designs.

Stuc Pierre
Stuc Pierre is a versatile limestone finish. It can be rendered as a three-coat application over wire mesh or cementitious substrate. This application is common for indoor pools and other areas where a three-coat render is applicable. It can also be a veneer application, making it an economical and efficient coating that can replicate limestone block or just be a beautiful homogenous finish. And finally, stuc pierre can be cast like regular plaster so that rooms can have both wall finish and mouldings and trim made from the same integral colored material. Stuc pierre has a beautiful aspect and given its versatility as a finish, it is both an aesthetically pleasing and economical choice for many applications for interior architecture.

Fall is almost here. Read the tips below to ensure your lawn has the best chance to thrive next year.
This summer has been hot and dry. You may have had it with your lawn. It's natural. After summer winds down, the tendency is to put lawn care on the back burner until spring blooms anew. But by taking time to put your yard and landscape "to bed" in fall, your lawn will reap the rewards. Give your lawn a healthy start next spring by managing these 10 fall tasks.
- Feed your lawn. Think of fall fertilization as refueling and replenishing your lawn after a long, hot summer. Fall fertilization will help maintain your lawn's root health and replenish nutrients that were expended in summer months. Fall feedings should be timed when plants are still absorbing nutrients, so don't wait too long. Depending on your region, fall feeding can take place beginning on Labor Day or into early October.
- Remember to water. Before you put away that watering can and retire your sprinklers for the season, remember that thriving plants are still thirsty. Water early in the day to avoid evaporation and disease development. And water deep: When you see moisture soak into the soil of container plants and beds, apply another dose.
- Air out the soil. Thatch build-up and foot traffic can compact soil, which cuts off oxygen and nutrient supply to the roots. Aeration loosens soil and literally airs out the earth. Soil plugs that are removed can be left on the lawn they will eventually break down, providing nutrients to your lawn. Balding turf, matted-down grass, sparse new growth, pools of water and tough ground are signs you need to aerate.
- Level and reseed. Start spring on level ground by filling ruts and low spots where water collects now. Early fall is the best time to reseed a lawn so turf roots establish before winter. Loosen soil with a dethatching rake, add a soil amendment and evenly apply seed.
- Divide plants. If your perennials are overcrowded, fall is an ideal time to divide the root ball and replant. Cutting back the plants prior to transplanting can help reduce shock.
- Plant fall bulbs. Plant in fall to enjoy spring's first blooms – crocus, daffodil, tulip. The best time to plant is after the first frost so the bulbs will stay cool all winter. Dig holes for bulbs and fertilize before replacing soil.
- Pick up leaves. Fall cleanup will save time for gardening come spring, and clearing your lawn of leaves and sticks will prevent the heavy, wet foliage from suffocating the turf. Dark, moist environments are breeding grounds for disease.
- Mow low. Make the last mowing of the season a short cut since you'll retire lawn equipment until spring comes around again.
- Decorate for the holidays. Fall is the time to think festive! Draw attention to your landscape with lighting, and find ways to incorporate a pop of color by filling containers with seasonal selections – mums for fall.
- Clean up. Wash down the patio furniture and store it for the season. Make sure to pick up toys so they don't get buried or lost.
If your family is like mine, before you know it summer is over, kids are going back to school and we begin to space out lawn maintenance from week to week to a more "every two weeks" routine. I hope these tips help you prepare for fall lawn maintenance sooner and more frequently!
