Over the weekend, I grabbed a big giant pack of brisket that was on sale for $18 and I know I can cut them up into 4 or 5 big pieces. Meaning 5 different meals. I have been shopping at Aldi, Sprouts, and Wal-Mart. Every time I go to Aldi, I always got a full cart of produce and meat and other stuffs like bread, pasta or egg and each time it cost me around $60, which will be almost double if I go somewhere else.
Now Brisket. I am not going outside to grill or smoke them. Not in the almost 100°, or maybe it has reached 3 digits, weather.
I have this image of sliced brisket on top of fluffy mashed potatoes. It had been a week y'all! The struggle is real 😂😂.
Still today I was debating if I should do the brisket or chicken. So I use my life line, I phone a friend. Not literally phone a friend. I asked my husband, Beef of Chicken for dinner. Thought would be better to ask him rather than play rock paper scissor between my left and right hand. He said Beouf.
The challenge is to have dinner ready in an hour. Start by the time we get home. While I was still at his office waiting for him to finished his work. Searching for ideas with no luck.
5 pm he was done. We drive home, passed IHOP who was calling my name for their $0.59 stacked pancake for today only deal. But the parking lot was packed and I saw people outside waiting. 🙄Nah…brisket it is. But what am I gonna do? I have no idea what to make out of that brisket at home.
Got home, dragged that huge piece of meat from the fridge. Cut the portion I want to cook today and cut the rest and store in vacuum pack and into the freezer.
Instant pot going to be my next life line. I know I want to make some sort of rub and brown the meat. Drizzle olive oil into the pot. Press sautee and let it heat up the pot and oil. While that is getting warm and fuzzy feeling in the pot, I mix my rub. Coconut sugar 4 teaspoon, salt 2 teaspoons, 1 teaspoon black paper, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder and 2 teaspoons smoked paprika. Mix and ru it all over the meat, which I pat dry first. Take the coated meat, and lay it down on the warm fuzzy oil in the pot. Fat side down. Until all side brown. Pour in around 2 cups beef broth to deglazed the yummy bits from thw meat and the rub. Lay it down fat side up now. Closed the lid, sealed the ring, press manual 60 minutes. When it beeped, let it NPR, Natural Pressure Release so that the meat will still be moist.
While they are mingled in the pot, I started peeling my potatoes, cut them up in the same size for every pieces. I am using 3 huge yellow potatoes and 3 little ones. Put them all,1
after wash and rinse, into the pot. Pour some chicken broth just enough to cover the potatoes around half way. Add salt, pepper, and 2 cloves garlic, crushed.
Closed the lid, sealed the vent and manual 8 minutes. It will take time to get to pressure. I figured they will be done at around the same time. When I started my potatoes cooking, the beef was at 37 minutes left And the potatoes pot was beeping when the beef still had 9 minutes.
I took the potatoes pot out after QR, add butter after draining some of the liquid out.
You don't want to drained them all. You want some liquid left but not much. Ok added 1/4 stick of butter and 1/4 stick of cream cheese.
Mashed with potato masher and use spatula to mix or fold the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Was done with the masher, wash it and my other pot with the beef already beeped and the pressure released.
Took the meat out and sliced them. Press sautee to reduce thw sauce. But I was impatient and did not reduced the sauce much. Scoop some mashed potatoes on the plate, arrange the beef, drizzle some of the sauce or put as much as you like.
I like mine with lots of sauce. My husband like it with just enough sauce. Everyone like it different way and that's ok 😊.
Both my husband and my son approved this Instant Brisket. Note to myself, next time add liquid smoke. That'd be great

This path should be dribbled through at a fast pace. The players will eventually change sides at this point. Again, this drill should function as a competition between the two active players. Afterwards, the players should leave their side of the field and join the opposite group. Continue to have the players pick up the pace, you should start to really push the players.
The animation will explain it better than words can, so I'll skip a description.
- Two more groups may start from the other side of the outer square
- The left and right groups should switch sides afterward
- Different dribbling techniques
- A competitive aspect can be introduced
- Push for increased speed
- Correct errors individually
Category: Advanced training, children's training, youth training, seniors
Minimum group size: 4
Maximum group size: 12
Materials required: Each player has a ball, 8 cones
Field size: Do not make the distances too close. Shorter distances make the soccer drill much harder.
Information: There are already more than 1,000 animations online at www.soccerdrills.de, as well as plenty of interesting articles by very well-known soccer experts.
If you don't want to wait for the translations, you can take a look at Soccerdrills.de. The animations often speak for themselves.

The Fuel Fund Preferred Rate Program is an initiative to increase the monthly savings of Fuel Fund participants, donors and affiliates. The program offers electricity rates with competitive suppliers that beat the utility's default rate by at least 5%. Enrollees in the program will have their contracts monitored and automatically enrolled in a new electricity rate when their existing contract ends.
The program currently focuses on the BGE service area. If you live outside of the BGE service area, please visit pointclickswitch.com for rates in your utility area. Participation in this program is voluntary and at no cost to the enrollee. Enrollees may opt out of the program at anytime by emailing [email protected] or calling 888.826.1316.
The Preferred Rate program is administered by the Fuel Fund's partner, PointClickSwitch. PointClickSwitch researches the rates available in the market, evaluating them not only by price, but term, early termination fee and terms and conditions. They only work with fixed rate plans. They will offer the lowest rate they find to participants in the Preferred Rate program and continue to roll participant's accounts over into the lowest rate they find as long as it is at least 5% savings off of utility's rate. If the lowest rate they find is less than 5% savings off the utility's, they will return the account to utility's default pricing when possible.
The Preferred Rate program focuses on just the lowest rates that PointClickSwitch, the program's administrator finds. This means that only one or two plans will show up here for participants to choose. If you are interested in seeing more rates, visit pointclickswitch.com.
The Preferred Rate program focuses on not just getting you a low rate, but also protecting those savings at the end of your contract. When your contract is about to end, we will send you a notification reminding you that the program will go out, find you another great rate and if possible automatically switch you to that rate. If the program cannot switch you, we will send you instructions on how to get the rate. Your existing supplier may send you letters and notices about their renewal offers, but the program will select the best available plan for you whether it is with your existing supplier or with another supplier.

Drug Abuse Data is Disappointing in Hudson
October 20, 2017
by Len Lathrop
Police Chief Jason Lavoie shared data Tuesday of this week about drug misuse in Hudson. The 2017 numbers are year to date, and so are especially alarming when considering there are more than 60 days left in the year.
The chief mentioned that every community member needs to encourage people to get help if they have a drug problem. If they don't know where to go, they can reach out to Hudson Police (886-6011) who will provide some advice and direction.
Chief Lavoie and his department hope every day that this pervasive problem gets better. Sadly, it hasn't yet. Lavoie reported that one of the overdose deaths was due to huffing, which asks that question, are we doing enough?

North Carolina House members and film industry leaders argue anything short of a one-year extension on current tax credits for movie and TV production expenses will mean lost jobs in the state.
Wilmington-area lawmakers and film executives held a Legislative Building news conference Wednesday to push for retaining the current incentives program through 2015 while the General Assembly studies the credits more closely.
Continue Reading Below
The current tax credit is set to expire at year's end.
Bill Vassar with EUE/Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington says without incentives, video productions will go to other states, much like they did in recent years when Canada sweetened the pot for filmmakers. They cite a study showing the industry generates 4,000 jobs in the state.
Film incentives are part of the ongoing budget negotiations.

Thorofare Lookout is the tower where Delilah is assigned to. It is implied that Delilah rarely leaves the lookout and she will occasionally report the events she sees inside her tower.
It is unknown why Delilah left most of her items in her tower(namely her shirt, books, and other personal items) when she was picked up by the Forest Rescue whereas she still had time to pack up like Henry did before leaving the tower.
- Delilah mentions that "Pork Pond's name is interesting" if the player reaches Pork Pond. It is revealed that it was her who stole the sign which is later found in game if the player explores Thorofare Lookout.
- Delilah mentioned that she left the tower when she sneaked up on midnight to place an untapped radio communicator to a supply cache in Cottonwood Creek for Henry to pick up.
- If the player tries to go at the tower in the early stage of the game, Delilah mentions that a cable car going to Thorofare is only used for immediate emergency, thus preventing the player to reach the lookout. Instead, an interesting dialogue between the two commences.

Creationism in Europe
Posted by celina at 6:58 PM
2 comments:
- kamel said...
Nice post. Just a couple of comments and maybe some points for discussion.
"Creationism is a theory, not a science, and as such, should not be taught in classrooms. But then why do we refer to it as the "theory" of evolution..."
'Theory' in a scientific sense has a much narrower definition than the everyday English meaning of 'guess or conjecture'. It's more like a model explaining a related set of observations based on experimental evidence. Scientific theories are both predictive and testable. While it's true that a scientific theory can be proven incorrect, it represents a general consensus in the scientific community of a description of reality. I just wanted to clarify that because I think evolution/creation discussions often get derailed by a confusion of the scientific meaning of 'theory' with the everyday use of the word.
"I guess all I am saying is that, like anything else we are taught in school, we should be presented with all the arguments so that we can make an informed decision for ourselves."
I certainly agree with this principle, as critical thinking is an important thing to practice and it's something I feel passionate about. But, just to provoke some discussion, here are some things to think about:
1)What version of Creationism would we teach? Young Earth Creationism proposes that the Earth is 6000 years old and all evidence points to the contrary.
2)Does Creationism belong in a science classroom? The scientific method is based on the idea of evidence, testable hypotheses and falsifiability. The creationist theory makes no predictions and cannot be tested. It is not a scientific theory
3)Where do you draw the line? Do we then start letting alchemy be taught in the chemistry classroom? Astrology alongside astronomy?
Just some food for thought.

I agree that it is important for students to be exposed to the various theories of creation. It is important; however, as kamel said,to provide students with a clear definition of theory. Teachers need to provide a framework in order for students to critically think about the theories provided. Whether the traditional views of science or a general consensus are applied makes an important difference in how theories are accepted. The christian view of creationism is enormously popular in much of North America; however it cannot be taught using the same theoretical guidelines as evolution. How then can we teach various theories simultaneously in an unbiased way?

This is *MY* theory. Enjoy.
The term ALT.Net has been gaining a lot of momentum. There is even a conference. A while back Scott Hanselman raised the question Is Microsoft losing the Alpha Geeks? This generated lot of debate. If you have been listening to Hanselminutes regularly, you know that Scott is a pragmatic guy. He criticizes when criticism is due but never bashes anything. He is not a zealot. In recent episodes he has raised the issue of ALT.Net more than once and also, as a part of the "Be a Better Developer in 6 months" program, will be teaching himself Ruby and Ruby on Rails. So you get a feeling that Scott, the alpha developer he is, was slowly drifting away from Microsoft.
Now, if you listen to this episode of Hanselminutes, where Scott interviews David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) and Martin Fowler at the Rails Conference, you hear the passionate voice of DHH and the mature voice of Martin. Couple of times DHH expresses his displeasure at the way Microsoft is doing things. Mind you, he does not bash anything. That is a great trait. You talk about the shortcomings, have opinions, but don't just dismiss anything and everything MS as BS.
If you listen carefully, you can sense Scott being very cautious when talking about Microsoft. He says Microsoft has been, indirectly paying his mortgage. I identify myself as a .Net Web Developer and I don't apologize for that. Like Scott, I too have benefited from using Microsoft Technologies. Yes, there are short comings, things can be better, but then I am not a basher. I am looking at and trying to indulge in alternatives. But then I am just another 5:01 Developer.
Back to the conspiracy. The ALT.Net movement is kinda a like a rebellion against Microsoft. How do you quell a rebellion? You take out the leaders. You convince them to come into your fold. As a first step, Microsoft decided to directly pay Scott's mortgage and scooped him up as divulged here. Hmmm. I am happy for Scott. And wish him the best and hope he can still continue to be the independent voice and champion he has been.
All seemed to well until this was revealed. Now, now, now. I think I am on to something here. I considered Phil Haack to be a first class rebel. Maybe it's the last name. Maybe it's his Gravatar. Phil and friends created SubText when DasBlog was available. Then they went on to create SubSonic with NHibernate, LLBLGen and a host of other tools around. If you have not checked out Subsonic, stop everything now and check it out. It's a cool toolset created by a bunch of smart people. I have written code generators in the past and am looking for a good DAL tool. I dug the code, discovered a few issues, submitted work items on codeplex and the fixes where rolled in by the end of the week. Wow!! Great job guys.
There you have it. First Scott, now Phil. So who's next? All you Alt.Net folks, you have been forewarned. Watch out. Here comes Microsoft.

I have always loved stories. Growing up, I kept so many books hidden in my bed for reading after lights out that there was barely room for me! I also loved writing stories – my first being a tale about a baby bird called Snowy, who hurt her leg and had to hop her way to safety.
I started thinking seriously about being a writer when I was in secondary school, but didn't do anything about it because I didn't really believe it was possible. The thought of seeing a book in the shops with my name on it seemed too amazing to ever be a reality. I was afraid that I'd fail, so I didn't risk trying– and that is definitely the worst reason in the world!
Having my first son was the kick in the bottom I needed. Suddenly I had someone depending on and looking up to me, and it made me want to do better. Once he started school I applied for a Creative Writing MA at Brunel University, intending to write grown up novels full of tragedy and despair. But then I got the idea for 'The Really Big Stink' and from then on, writing for children was all I wanted to do.
I have a Distinction in MA Creative Writing from Brunel University, I'm a Golden Egg Academy alumni where I was awarded The Chicken House scholarship and I have also been published in The Guardian!
Jennifer's School Visits
A full day visit would typically include five sessions and a signing. I usually start with an author talk of about thirty minutes. This can be for the whole school together, but some schools like to have separate talks for KS2 and KS1. I keep the KS1 talk a little shorter. For the author talk I just need to use a PowerPoint presentation. I then typically run three or four workshop sessions for up to thirty children. I usually work with years three, four, five and six, but have run workshops for reception and years one and two also. I will bring worksheets for the workshop, but it would be great if the children could have pencils and colours to write and draw with. Depending on how many workshops the school want me to fit in, they can be from 45 minutes to an hour each. I like to hold a signing session for the children who want to buy books, to allow them to meet me and ask any questions they have. I also offer every child who attends a workshop a signed postcard (I can bring extra postcards if required).
A typical schedule would be:
9-9:35 – Author talk for whole school (powerpoint and large screen required)
9:45 – 10:40 – workshop 1 (up to 30 children) – pencils and colours required.
10:45 – 11:40 – workshop 2 (up to 30 children)
1 – 1:55 – workshop 3 (up to 30 children)
2 – 3 – signing and individual questions
I'm happy to shorten the workshops and fit an additional session into the morning (or two author talks).
Outlines of sessions below:
Author Talks
- My author talks are thirty to forty minutes long and are suitable for large groups of primary school children.
- I'll have a table full of colourful props related to 'Alex Sparrow and the Really Big Stink' on display.
- I'll use a Powerpoint presentation.
- We will talk about why we love stories and how to go about writing our own – starting with a story seed and making it grow. I'll talk about 'Alex Sparrow and the Really Big Stink'– how I got the idea and started the story and what it's like in Alex's world. I try to be as interactive as possible, so I will be asking lots of questions, and playing games. I want every child to feel involved..
- I will talk about how I became a writer, and life as an author, as I find most children are especially interested in this!
- I'll read a very short excerpt from 'Alex Sparrow and the Really Big Stink'.
- I'll answer any questions the children have about writing or authoring, or anything they like!
My aim is to encourage the children's love for stories, so that they leave raring to pick up a book and read, or to write one themselves.
Not-So-Super Powers Workshop
- Suitable for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6
- For up to 30 children
- Lasts approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour
This session encourages children to look at well-known story devices in a new way. We will talk about classic superheroes and powers, and then, using 'The Stink' as a springboard, we'll try to think up some more interesting powers, and the drawbacks that come with them. The children will create characters with these powers, and I'll show them how to build stories around them. I'll encourage the children to share their ideas and to help each other to build stories from them.
*NEW* Animal Agents Workshop
- Suitable for years 2, 3, 4 and 5 (can work with year 1)
- For up to 30 children
- Lasts approximately 40 minutes
This session links with The Reading Agency's 'Summer Reading Challenge', 'The Stink' and 'The Furry Fury'. Using the idea of pets and animals leading double lives as secret agents, we will create agent profiles for our unique animal agents and build missions for them, creating exciting and imaginative adventures.
*NEW* Everyday Adventures Workshop
- Suitable for years 3, 4, 5 and 6
- For up to 30 children
- Lasts approximately 40 minutes
Something that runs through all of my stories is the idea of looking at ordinary and familiar things and re-imagining them so that they become extraordinary or form part of an unexpected adventure.This session draws on, 'The Stink', 'The Furry Fury' and 'Mo, Lottie and the Junkers' and aims to encourage children to look at everyday things in a new way to create exciting adventures.
Alex Sparrow and the Really Big Stink
My debut novel, 'Alex Sparrow and the Really Big Stink' was published through Firefly Press in May 2017 and has been selected for this year's Summer Reading Challenge. The sequel, 'Alex Sparrow and the Furry Fury' is coming out in May 2018.
The Alex Sparrow series is aimed at readers aged seven to twelve. They are comedy, mystery, fantasy adventures involving two main characters, Alex and Jess, who have funny superpowers, and a special goldfish called Bob who helps them with their missions.
Alex Sparrow and the Furry Fury
Catching the school's runaway guinea pigs is not really giving Alex job satisfaction, but how can he find a bigger test for his and Jess's awkward superpowers? Jess is more worried about the bullied new boy, whose Mum runs the local animal sanctuary. To befriend him she gets a voluntary job there, but she soon realises that something is very wrong; the animals are terrified. People start reporting strange events: things missing, property destroyed, and the local squirrels have turned mean. The police have no suspects. It looks more and more like a job for Agent Alex…
'Furry Fury' has been selected for The Reading Agency's 'Summer Reading Challenge', taking place throughout the summer of 2018 in libraries across the country. The theme is 'Mischief Makers', which suits Alex and Jess perfectly…
The first book in another series, 'Mo, Lottie and the Junkers' is coming out in 2019. It's also MG, a comedy, science-fiction adventure.
Recommendations & Reviews
"We had the pleasure of welcoming Jennifer to our school for our end of year Speech Day and what a fabulous day it was! From the moment she entered the school she exuded warmth and enthusiasm towards the children and her passion for reading and books was clear.
In the morning she spoke to the whole school about Alex Sparrow and the Really Big Stink. This was followed by a series of workshops with different age groups. The pupils liked finding out about how to become an author and were totally engaged by her talk. In particular they loved seeing her props and thinking up their own superheroes – especially ones with stinky or slightly gross superpowers. Jennifer provided all of the resources and was well prepared for the activities. She responded well to the pupils' questions and was not phased by some of the funnier comments from our younger members!
In the afternoon Jennifer agreed to present the awards to our year 6 leavers and other prize winners during our final assembly. Once again her friendliness and connection with the children was evident and whilst she addressed the whole school (and their families) she certainly engaged the whole audience. A number of parents commented on how refreshing it was to have someone at Speech Day who actually spoke to the children, made connections with them and was clearly passionate about their work.
We had pre-ordered a number of books and Jennifer ensured that these arrived promptly and she had personalized them all. She also carried out a small book signing on the day which gave some of the staff a chance to talk to her too. All in all it was the most fabulous end to a very busy term and for me it was certainly a highlight of the year. The children were barely out of the school gates before they were all reading the Big Stink and I can't wait to hear their reviews when we return in September. Thank you for everything you did Jennifer; I am sure that we will remain in touch for future projects and I am confident that you inspired many of our pupils to read and write over the holidays." – Amy Beck (Prep 4 Teacher Magdalene House, Wisbech Grammar School)
"Thank you Jennifer, for visiting Grange Primary school. The two assemblies that you gave, one to KS1 and the other to KS2, were utterly engaging and breath-taking. When asked about the experience, many of the children replied that she made becoming an author, real and possible. The idea that you were a normal person, who liked Star Wars and tried for years to realise your dream, was an inspiration to our children. Children in KS1 created hats for Alex which fed into their maths and art topic of geometry, texture and materials.
The workshops were a perfect stimulus for the creative writing that stemmed from it. It was beneficial to have the workshops as the children were able to work with you in a class group. Your enthusiasm was infectious and as a result, children in two of the three classes wrote stories as a direct consequence of our workshop. The boys in my class were asking if they could write the story! Of course I obliged, since I was so thrilled by the vim and vigour.
The children really loved the book signing part of your day. Many children commented that they felt special and lucky to have a personalised book from an author they had met and started to know. It was delightful to see the warmth with which they had embraced you and your ideas. Many have been 'caught reading' your books walking around the corridors and lots of children have pledged to buy your new book.
Thank you so much for visiting Grange Primary school. It was truly memorable and has helped the school to foster a 'love of reading' throughout the school. " – Mrs Monique Johnson (Year 4 Class Teacher/British Values and Pupil Voice Lead – Grange Primary School)
"We had a fantastic day with Jennifer Killick. We found her assembly to be interesting and engaging. She pitched her talk appropriately for the children including her long road to being published. This was inspiring but also humorous!
She followed the assembly with well considered workshops. Jennifer was very personable and shared that these had been her own year 6 classrooms! She was well prepared with all the resources needed and the children were motivated throughout. Jennifer took the time to speak with each child individually about their ideas, during the workshop. The children were inspired to use their ideas in further English lessons to create their own stories." – Hillingdon Primary School
"Fun and inspiring. Jennifer really made the children think in detail about their characters." Parents comment following an event at Roxeth Library.

The top scorer in the Nigeria Premier League Stephen Odey might be heading to Europe soon according to reports exclusively gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com.
Odey who took his season's tally to 13 goals with a goal in MFM 2-1 win over Abia Warriors on Wednesday has been courted by a host of team in Europe.
However Owngoalnigeria.com transfer expert Daniel Martins gathered from one of his contacts that the 19 year old has been offered to Belgian side Genk.
" From what I heard, Odey is almost certain to be offered to Belgian side Genk by Olivier Noah, same guy who played a role in the transfer of Wilfred Ndidi to Genk few years ago", Martins who has broken news of many deals involving Nigerian players told Owngoalnigeria.com.
" His local agent, a certain guy called Yusuf I think shares close ties with Olivier, and has given him the go ahead to propose him to Genk by issuing him a mandate.
" I don't know if Genk will sanction a move for him but I know he has been proposed to them by Olivier Noah, who has close ties with some people at the club".

This is a Call
I'm calling on my Alma mater to flex a little muscle.
I'm talking about The University of Alabama, and specifically the College of Communication and Information Sciences. I'm a three-time graduate of its journalism and mass communication programs. The college is part of my professional DNA. It's home.
As one of its sons, I feel as though I can speak up when I think the college needs to step up its game. This is one of those times. Print journalism in my home state is going through a horrific period. Advance Publications, which owns The Huntsville Times, The Birmingham News and Mobile's Press-Register, recently announced layoffs to the tune of 400 or so employees across all three newspapers.
A new digital media organization — Alabama Media Group — that is supposed to rise from these ashes made the following statement about a month ago:
"The Alabama Media Group will dramatically expand its news-gathering efforts around the clock, seven days a week, while offering enhanced printed newspapers on a schedule of three days a week."
In the words of Col. Sherman Potter from the M*A*S*H 4077th, "bull cookies." How is an organization going to "dramatically expand its news-gathering efforts" while simultaneously cutting 400 jobs, most of them being journalism positions? It isn't.
I was initially attracted to journalism because it's exciting and it afforded me an opportunity to "be where the action is." And those qualities are still attractive. As I matured, though, I also came to realize the greater role journalism and journalists play in keeping society informed. Why do you think drug cartels in Mexico kill, threaten and intimidate journalists who turn their attention to the drug trade? Why do you think African dictators imprison journalists? Why do you think the murderers of Russian investigative journalists have gone unprosecuted?
Now journalists are being silenced in Alabama, though it's happening under the guise of "cost cutting," "reorganization" or, according to the new president of Alabama Media Group, "rapid advances in how readers engage with news content." It isn't drug lords or dictators doing the silencing here. It's corporate interests.
The University of Alabama's College of Communication and Information Sciences has been educating and training journalists for decades. Many have gone on to have solid careers in many locations, but there are likely hundreds of graduates who stayed in Alabama and have worked to keep its citizens informed, enlightened and entertained through the practice of journalism.
My Alma mater needs to protect its graduates. It needs to protect journalism. And quite frankly, it needs to protect itself. Where are its journalism graduates going to work? In Alabama? That likelihood just shrank to the tune of 400 jobs. How many journalism graduation ceremonies would it take to equal that number? Ten? Twenty? More?
I would like to see my college publicly express displeasure with the loss of journalism jobs in the state. I would like to see my college speak about the unacceptable nature of such cuts, how they will hurt their communities and how service to the public should be responsibly balanced against toeing a corporation's profit margins. I would like to see my college openly challenge Advance Publications to explain their decisions before the public.
And I would love to see my Alma mater host a public forum to give those journalists who have been fired a platform to talk about what's happening to our profession.
Now is a critically important time for journalism in my home state. Alabama's College of Communication needs to speak with a clear, strong voice.
CommentsOne Response to "This is a Call"
I agree. As a graduate of that same college (although I took the Library and Information Science route), I too was waiting for a response that didn't come or perhaps I was too late to see? Unfortunately it's spreading across the state… I have a staff position open in my library and currently three applicants were, up until a week or two ago, working for local newspapers.

Jim Hitt says that if individual investors plan on retiring, the time to begin planning is sooner rather than later.
Asheville, NC (PRWEB) May 17, 2016
After a recent story by the United States Chamber of Commerce pointed out just how many of America's mandatory entitlement programs will take over the budget by 2026, American IRA chief Jim Hitt called the Self-Directed IRA "the ideal tool" for investors to take personal charge of their financial futures.
"The Self-Directed IRA is the ideal tool for anyone who wants to maximize the freedom and control they have in their retirement," said Jim Hitt. "With tax-protected access to a wide range of investments, many retirement investors do not know just how many options they have."
Jim Hitt pointed out that self-direction actually happens more commonly than investors think, given just how many people have yet to hire an investment professional to help guide their wealth. And what many of these investors do not know is that they can have consistent access to a wide range of investments through an IRA, including real estate, precious metals, and private companies.
The IRS allows many different investments in retirement accounts—all that's required is that an individual file the proper paperwork and take control over their own retirement.
With a recent story in the Atlantic highlighting just how difficult a time people in the middle class have finding even $400 for an emergency, the future may be a challenge for anyone looking to retire. That's why Jim Hitt stresses the importance of taking action now.
"With a Self-Directed IRA already in hand, you're poised to start making use of extra money and savings over time," said Jim Hitt. "And with the power of compound interest, starting sooner rather than later can mean a difference of thousands—even hundreds of thousands—of dollars."
Although America's entitlement spending is slated to go up, that's no guarantee of future success for those who rely on government spending for their retirement plan. Jim Hitt says that if individual investors plan on retiring, the time to begin planning is sooner rather than later.

We women are made to love, to give, to be welcoming, to want to please. It's what we do best when we love someone. But this desire to give all, to please, to welcome in, also makes us easily manipulated by our emotions.
I remember very well how it was when I was 21. You want to be with a man because you really like him. You want to spend time with him. But you don't want sex, not yet. You want to please him, but you don't want sex. You want affection, but you don't want sex. You don't want to reject him, but you don't want sex. You also don't want to get mad at him for insisting, because you don't want to be rejected either, and you don't want to hurt his feelings, because you like him, but you don't want sex. So you accept a little more than you're really comfortable with, because you like him, but you don't want sex.
Society used to have rules in order to protect its young, open-hearted, giving, loving daughters. Because we knew they needed to be protected and cared for, not manipulated and taken advantage of. But today's society is all about love with no limits. Everything you see on TV, in the movies, in books is all about sexual freedom, and eliminating barriers and limits. Today, if you set limits, you are negatively seen as prude and cold, old-fashioned and backwards. Parents step out of their children's love-life because it's "none of their business" what anyone else does. So who is going to protect our daughters now?
You're young and in love, and you trust the man, but you give a little more than you really want to, because you think you can stop it before it goes too far. But he takes advantage of that opening and takes more. You manage to disappoint him for a time, a few days, a few weeks, maybe a few months. But those societal rules, "stay out of the bedroom" for one, or at least, "keep doors open" if you're sharing a place with other people, they're prude and backwards and no one uses them. Behind closed doors it's easy for him to ask for more, and unwillingly, you relent. But you don't want sex. And you've told him, and he knows, but that doesn't stop him from trying to convince you.
In the end, when it's over, he's content with himself. He finally got what he wanted and he assumes you're happy too. Because, egoistically, all he sees is what he wanted. And while he is congratulating himself for giving you what you didn't know you wanted, deep down, you immediately feel regret. You are disappointed with yourself for giving in. You're not quite sure how it happened, you trusted him not to go too far, you thought you could stop it. You feel used, you feel maybe somewhat like a prostitute. You feel ashamed. You wish it never happened. You think it's all your fault.
Maybe you want to break up with him, but now that you've had sex, you feel you owe it to him to give him a chance. Because you are not that girl, the kind that has a one-night stand. Because ironically, you don't want to hurt him by breaking up with him after having sex, when in reality, he deserves what's coming to him for pressuring you in the first place. But you're not thinking straight, because sex clouds your judgement.
The next time you're together, it's a lot easier to get you to have sex again, because you've already had it, and eventually, you give up all pretense, because you know there's no point.
And then maybe after a few months, or a year, he gets tired of you and moves on. Or you really just don't get along and you break up. Or you get pregnant and he doesn't want a child, so you either have to deal with being a single mother or have an abortion. And it's not just a broken heart you have. Your soul is broken too. That piece of you that you didn't want to give him yet, that he took anyway, you can never get it back.
The next time you meet a guy, you think "This time, it will be different." But it isn't. Because despite being hurt, you are still that loving, giving, wanting to please girl. And you still don't realize that setting limits is the healthy thing to do. So the same thing happens a second time, and a third time, maybe a fourth time, and a fifth time.
Maybe you end up settling for someone you otherwise would not have settled down with, because you thought you owed him that, since you'd had sex, and because having sex with him made that emotional bond stronger and your judgement weaker. So you end up with someone who doesn't have the same world-view as you, who doesn't have the same values, or priorities. And as the years go by, you become a cynical woman, who deeply regrets having given in, who desires a better relationship, but knows she'll never have that, not with him. You wish you could go back and change what you did. You've put walls around your heart because you've been hurt so many times by the differences between you. You've made compromises in your relationship that you wish you didn't have to. You haven't been able to give your children the kind of moral education you want to give them, because his morals are totally different. You don't believe in love anymore. Not for you.
When you hear about other women, young girls, who've been pressured into having sex against their better judgement, you feel a deep, silent and impotent rage inside of you. You know you are not alone, you know this is happening everywhere, and there is nothing you can do. Maybe you want to protect your daughter, but society is against you, and even if you don't buy into today's mantra that what they do is none of your business, (because if someone harms your underage daughter, it absolutely IS your business), and you set limits for her, will her boyfriend's family do the same? Will she accept those rules, or will she go down the same path, afraid to be seen as prude, cold, old-fashioned and backwards, destined to be yet another cynical woman who doesn't believe in love anymore? Not for her?
If we are not afraid of losing someone, we will be more likely to set healthy limits, less likely to compromise ourselves in order to be with them and more likely to eliminate bad relationships. Even in a long-term committed relationship, fulfillment is found within, it is not the responsibility of our spouse. Our happiness depends on one person only, our self. Fulfillment is always possible, and happiness is probable, even in a difficult (non-abusive) relationship if we look for it within ourselves.
Perhaps love isn't what we naively thought it would be when we were younger, but it can be what we make it to be.
And guys, when she says she doesn't want to... She really doesn't want to.

...but we seem to be getting things done. My mother has done excellent work with logistics ensuring people can get too and from the reception. I just wish some of the guests would RSVP {in any form, we are beyond caring now whether it is done officially or not} to make her life easier.
My hen party is next week and everything has been paid for and the tea party finalised. I cannot wait to eat the sandwiches, cakes, scones, cupcakes and little bite sized pieces of chocolately goodness that are planned for the top tier of the cake stands. I just need to finish off my outfit and all the last minute logistics but I am really looking forward to it.
This weekend we are going away. To stay with M's parents. M is playing in a golf tournament. I am going to print and collate 100 orders of service which as yet have not been finalised, checked by the vicar or approved by my mother. I foresee a long afternoon tomorrow trying to get it all done in time for printing.
This week I am going to finish the bridesmaids' presents, jewellery and my hair piece for the reception. I have decided to make a hybrid headband style thing from the silk flowers, merry widow veiling and a peacock feather or two. I plan to sew it to a hairband and hope for the best. I must also make the BoyBird and the napkin labels.
We then have to buy M his shirt and BestMan's tie. I think these are chosen, they just need purchasing. Speaking of purchasing, we also now have to pay all the final amounts to the various companies. It's scary seeing so much money leave our bank accounts.
The advice I have for anyone one month out from their wedding is this: take some time out for yourself. Do something else, think about something else. Delegate. Cross some things off the list which no longer seem important. Get things done so you're not rushed in the last week. Pack for your honeymoon in advance.
The advice I have for anyone further back in the planning process is this: time flies. The wedding seems ages away and there seems to be lots of time. And then there isn't. Get things sorted early. Delegate early (but remind later on, so things don't get forgotten). Set a metaphorical deadline for getting diy and projects finished. You will over run. You will not want to be making whatever it is 2 weeks before the wedding. enjoy the planning process.

Features -
- Works with a pets existing identification microchip or RFID collar tag (1 tag included).
- Compatible with all common microchips.
- Designed for multi-pet homes to stop pets stealing each others food.
- Sealed bowl keeps food fresher and free of flies.
- Ensures prescription food is consumed by the right pet.
- Battery operated (typical battery life 6+ months).
- Requires 4 C cell batteries (not included)
- Suitable for both wet and dry food.
- Great for pets on weight management diets.

Cuadrado to Juventus is close to been finalise, while reports in Spain has it that Spanish La-Liga side Valencia are strongly pushing to sign Pedro from the Blues. The departure of the duo could kickstart Moses career at Stamford Bridge.
The Nigerian,25, was one of the star performers for Chelsea during their pre season tour and so far he has appeared in their first two premiership games albeit as a substitute.
Known for his pace, tricks and strength in duels, he was praised by the manager for his role in the comeback win over Watford last weekend, as his introduction according to the manager injected pace into the frontline of the Blues.

Legally Blonde - The Musical
OMIGOD, YOU GUYS! Life is, like sooo perfect for Elle Woods. She is beautiful, a fashion major, president of her sorority house - the Delta Nu's, and most importantly… a natural blonde. All she's missing is a diamond engagement ring from her boyfriend- Warner Huntington III. What could go wrong?
Elle's world comes crashing down when, instead of proposing, Warner dumps her for not being 'serious enough' and leaves her for Harvard Law School. In a quest to win back her fiancée, Elle says goodbye to the Delta Nu's, rallies her resources and gets into Harvard, much to the annoyance of her classmates, including Warner's new brunette girlfriend-Vivienne.
At Harvard, Elle battles misogyny, elitism and superficiality but learns that there is more to Elle Woods than meets the eye and being beautiful, smart and successful feels 'SO MUCH BETTER' than being Mrs. Warner Huntington III.
Based on the 2001 movie, Legally Blonde is bright, bubbly and filled with feel-good music, high energy routines and side-splitting humour guaranteed to have you laughing before you can say 'BEND AND SNAP!'

One Stop Systems, Computing Systems Maker, Expands Escondido Headquarters
Tuesday, August 7, 2018
Nearly six months after raising $19 million in an initial public offering, One Stop Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: OSS) is expanding its headquarters in Escondido by more than one-third.
The company signed a six-year lease that expands its design, manufacturing and test facilities by 6,121 square feet, bringing its total space to more than 24,000 square feet.
One Stop Systems, which was founded in Escondido in 1998, makes high performance computing systems and the software needed to operate such systems.
CEO Steve Cooper said the expansion was prompted by rapid growth and an anticipated increase in "design wins" over the coming months.
He also said the additional space will allow the company to consolidate its San Diego operations and thereby reduce operational costs.
The company made its public debut on the Nasdaq exchange in February.

Meredith Vieira To Leave NBC's Today Show
Peter Kramer/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Today co-host Meredith Vieira is stepping down from her position in June after five years on the job. NBC says news anchor Ann Curry will take over and co-host with Matt Lauer. There'll be other changes: third hour Today host Natalie Morales will shift to news anchor while White House correspondent Savannah Guthrie will succeed Morales, and take over hosting duties for the later show.
NBC says Vieira will spend more time with her husband, who suffers from multiple scelerosis, and she will take on new duties with the network, although they haven't been specified. Vieira took over the co-anchor chair from Katie Couric, who moved to anchor the CBS Evening News, a position she too is leaving.

Some homeowners put a great deal of care and detail into their yards. From ponds and stone walkways to rose beds and gazebos, people take landscaping seriously. Something that may look good in your yard this year is an organic garden. If you're not sure about how to garden organically, here are some tips.
To prevent your plants from getting shocked by a big change, get them gradually used to climate and temperature changes. When starting the transition, leave the plants in the sun for just 1-2 hours. As you continue the first week of the project, gradually extend the duration of sun exposure. At week's end, the plants should be welcoming of their new home.
Choosing a tree. When buying a container-grown tree, remove it from the pot and examine the roots. Don't buy a tree that is pot-bound with a mass of congested roots, or one that has roots growing out of the holes in the bottom of the pot. Make sure that the container has been thoroughly watered, and check for any yellowing leaves or dead branches.
To maximize your enjoyment out of your garden plant a variety of plants. The same old will get full and boring and you may out of boredom end up neglecting your garden. By planting a variety you will ensure that you remain interested and as a bonus it will be far prettier.
Plant a new and different edible each week. Eating tomatoes or corn every day can get old real quick, but if a variety is planted, this problem will never happen. The garden can offer a wide variety of different edible plants and if they come to maturity at the same time the variety will make the garden more enjoyable and more fun.
Grow from seeds. In garden centers, it is usually much cheaper to purchase a packet of seeds than to buy the equivalent number of grown plants. Remember, if you sow some seeds before the summer, you can get a garden full of bright, colorful flowers for a very cheap price.
Use your leftover pasta water in your garden! Plants are big starch fans and thrive with water that contains higher levels of starch, like the water left over after you boil pasta or potatoes. Make sure, though, that you let the water sit until it reaches room temperature prior to watering your plants with it!
An excellent way to store the goodies from a homegrown garden is to freeze them in small batches. Using small sealable plastic bags and cutting small amounts of fresh vegetables every few days will help store the extras from the garden. Just bag and toss in the freezer and the packets can be added at any time to soups and pastas year round.
An organic garden might not have the appeal of a pond with those orange-colored koi, but you will certainly get a lot more out of your garden "literally" than you'll get out of ornamental fish or some fancy stone tiles in the yard. Take advantage of organics by learning how to garden from the article above.

My Store: {{SiteStore.Name}}, {{SiteStore.Address1}}, {{SiteStore.City}}, {{SiteStore.State}} {{SiteStore.Zip}}
Mix, berries, sugar, raisins, spices and water in a microwave-proof bowl until berries burst, about 10 minutes on high.
Then add the pear, onion and celery and cook at 50% power for 30 minutes.
Watch carefully while cooking – microwaves have different power levels.
Lightly grease the canister of a slow cooker. Add green beans, cream of mushroom soup, cheddar cheese, milk, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, one-half cup stuffing mix and salt and pepper. Mix with a wooden spoon.
Set the heat to low and cook for about two hours, or until mixture is slightly thickened. Add additional one-half cup stuffing mix and cook an additional 10 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
Whip cream, vanilla, salt and sugar until soft peaks. Slowly add in cream cheese until well blended.
Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap.
Spread Nutella on graham crackers in a thin layer. Place a layer of crackers, Nutella side down, in loaf pan, cutting crackers to fit in a single layer. Spread 2/3 cup of whipped cream mixture on top of crackers.
Repeat until all crackers and cream are used up.
Place plastic wrap on top and then place in freezer for 2 hours. Remove and place in refrigerator for 1 hour. (This is a very forgiving recipe, and you just want to make sure the cake has enough chill time to soften the graham crackers. You can skip the freezer step and just keep in the fridge for 8 hours up to about 24 hours.)
Remove wrap, invert onto serving plate and slice as you would a cake. Serve immediately.
