Hostiles: Cheyenne Batter Bread Recipe/
Year Released: 2017
Directed by: Scott Cooper
Starring: Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike, Wes Studi
(R, 135 min)
Genre: Action and Adventure, Drama, Western
"The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer." D. H. Lawrence
With rare insight into the darker regions of the human soul, this film sets itself apart. And even more rare still, it does not take sides.
Hostiles is
"…an uncompromising, brutal Western, (that) makes Clint Eastwood's classic, somber Western Unforgiven look like Mary Poppins." Bob Grimm
as we find out in the first scene, which certainly begs us to take a side. One moment Rosalie Quaid (Rosamend Pike) is sitting at the kitchen table giving her daughters a lesson in grammar while her husband saws through a piece of timber just outside the family cabin. The next, a swarm of Comanches slaughters all but Rosalie, who manages to hide in the woods behind a boulder, her bloodied, dead infant still cradled to her.
Next we meet Captain Joseph Blocker (Christian Bale) herding up stray Apache Indians and bringing them to nearby Fort Berringer, New Mexico, for incarceration. They are treated no better than cattle, their men roped and dragged. Captain Blocker oversees, his stoic countenance further masked by a ragged mustache and goatee.
But his eyes tell it all. They are, as one critic put it, both haunted and haunting. And dead, except when he angers, as he does when he is tasked with a final mission he is loath to take. Because Captain Blocker knows the northern Cheyenne dialect, he is ordered to escort the dying Cheyenne Chief Yellow Hawk, his sworn enemy, back to his tribal lands in Montana.
To say there is bad blood between the two is a gross understatement. Because the blood is real, not metaphorical. Each has killed the other side ruthlessly. In fact, a visiting journalist suggests that Captain Blocker has taken more scalps than Sitting Bull himself.
Just outside Fort Berringer, Captian Blocker announces that the "parade" is over and orders his men to put the chief and his grown son in chains. He will perform his duty, but he will treat the chief like the savage he sees him as.
But then something intervenes. From a ridge on high the captain sees a burned out farm. Inside the burned cabin he finds Rosalie Quaid, still cradling her dead baby and telling the captain to keep quiet so a not to wake her girls. A slight nod indicates the two older daughters already wrapped for death on the beds. She is in that nether region of shock where reality and delusion simultaneously hold sway. The girls, already bundled for burial, are not to be awakened.
To call this a Road to Damscus moment is probably too grand, but the scene awakens something deep within Blocker, a sense of decency and tenderness long buried. Slowly, the journey to Montana becomes a spiritual one, too. The tenderness Bocker shows for the young widow begins to thaw other parts, too. It is more for necessity that he finally unchains the chief and his son, so they can help fend off a Comanche attack, but the chains do not go on again.
Each character has seen or been part of brutal death, and it has affected them differently. For Rosalie, it is a fight not to take her own life:
Sometimes I envy the finality of death, the certainty. And I have to drive those thoughts away when I waken.
For Captain Brock it is the slow acknowledgement of what endless war does to them all:
Understand this, when we lay our heads down out here, we're all prisoners.
As the journey goes on, he and the chief finally talk. It is in Cheyenne, and we only see subtitles, but that in itself sets their talk apart. Exactly what they say is not completely knowable and somehow sacrosanct.
The great performances by the three leads are augmented by a great cast, "2017's greatest and most underrated acting ensemble" as critic Bob Grimm speculates. Rory Cochrane's Metz, a fellow soldier suffering "melancholia," as he describes it, personifies the toll of taking lives for a living.
And Ben Foster, playing Sgt. Willis, a soldier about to be hanged for massacring some Indians, states a central theme the film sets up. He aptly demonstrates the thin line between a soldier's mission to kill and one who takes on the killing for his own purposes. He and Captain Blocker are not that different, according the Sgt. Willis,
I don't know how you've done it all these years, seeing all the things you've seen and all the things you've done. It makes you feel inhuman after a while.
The rugged landscapes also augment the themes. The journey's changing terrain, with its red granite formations, its seas of grass, and finally the wooded mountains of Montana are as stark and lonely as the film's characters. Yet, like them, the landscapes possess a strength and beauty at their core, reminiscent of the gorgeous cinematography and cast from the John Ford/John Wayne collaborations in FortApache (1948) and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949).
Like the equally brilliant 2017 Wind River – "Silent. Lonely. And cold. The territory and some of the people, too," – this is an Oscar worthy film as well. Certainly the actors should have been nominated.
But don't take my word for it. Go yourself. It isn't soft, funny, or pretty. But Hostiles is excellent in every sense of the word.
–Kathy Borich

Captain Blocker and Chief Yellow Hawk ultimately have an understanding. The scars from their mutual brutality will never disappear, but they are in the past.
Perhaps it would be fitting for them to break bread together. I have chosen Cheyenne Batter Bread, easy and simple to make, from a very old recipe passed down through the years.
Cheyenne Batter Bread
Recipe by Colleen Sowa
This is a very old recipe that has been passed down through the years...
1 qt sweet milk (whole milk)
1 pt white corn meal
3 eggs
1 Tbsp butter, melted (or margarine)
1/2 tsp salt
Bring milk to a full boil, stir in corn meal slowly. Cool. Add well beaten egg yolks, melted butter and salt. Add stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake in a moderate (350 - 375 degree) oven until well done.

Reviews, Interviews & Press
• A "briskly written narrative ... accessible introduction to the business of brewing ... On the one hand, as Mr. Noel spells out, craft won the war by forcing the world's largest brewer to change. On the other, it lost by being commandeered by that very same company. How one feels about that odd state of affairs seems these days to have more to do with one's values than drinking preferences." — The Wall Street Journal
• "Beat writers spend a lifetime hoping to create a book only half as good as this one, and drinkers will finish reading with a deeper appreciation for beer history, business, and the future. Barrel-Aged Stout and Selling Out is the masterful result that happens when a proper newspaperman gets his teeth into a story." — Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine
• "Josh Noel has spent seven years working on a complex and spiky narrative: the transition of Goose Island from indie champion to corporate hood ornament ... and delivers the most interesting industry book I can remember reading." — Beervana
• "Noel's is a shockingly honest book about an industry where actual journalism is rare — especially given the beverage business's $350 billion economic footprint ... that an objective, warts-and-all retelling of a beer-business tale exists at all warms my heart. Anecdotes as simple as an employee pitching a Goose-branded cell phone case into the trash on the day of the sale speak to the heart of Noel's book. He covers tons of ground, but keeps enough of an eye on the humanity of Goose's story ..." — Chicago Magazine
• "What makes the book imminently readable is that Mr. Noel combines an interest in gripping personal stories with astute business analysis. Moreover, he provides his readers with perceptive descriptions of craft beer's culture: the dope smoking, the leisurely and congenial ways, the flip-flops and short trousers. Goose Island was no exception. Hence the changes in practices at the brewery instigated by AB-InBev after the takeover — drugs tests, safety regulations etc — serve as powerful examples of the far bigger changes Goose Island underwent after it became corporate." — Brauwelt International/Dr. Ina Verstl
• "Noel's focus is Goose Island, but he provides a broad and meticulously researched look at the big picture, including a history of Anheuser-Busch and its gradually evolving attitude toward craft beer. ... One of his greatest feats is organizing the book in such a way that it delivers a ton of information (including one of the best explanations I've read of the three-tier system of beverage distribution) without being dense or dry. Especially compelling is Noel's account of John Hall announcing to his employees that he's sold the brewery to Anheuser-Busch and the stunned, angry reactions that followed." — Chicago Reader
• "Noel's book is a must-read for any craft beer fan, beer media personnel and of course anyone in beer — macro or craft. I learned a lot about an industry I've been writing about for nearly six years and have found myself using what I've learned from the book in my conversations about beer that I have on a daily basis. A 300-plus page book reads incredibly quickly as you keep telling yourself 'just one more chapter tonight.' — PorchDrinking
• "Fans of good beer will enjoy Noel's explorations, which make for a useful cautionary tale ..." — Kirkus Review
• "The book reads easily and allows you to feel as if you're privy to exclusive information about the internal workings of Goose Island and the deal that was made to make them part of the largest beer company in the world ... recommended reading for anyone who wants to know more about how the craft beer industry has grown and what we're likely to see more of, as buyouts become more common." — Craft Beer Time
• "At times I rooted for Goose Island. Then, a few pages later I found myself rooting against it. Same for Anheuser-Busch, if you can believe it ... Barrel-Aged Stout and Selling Out is a fascinating read. Craft-beer enthusiasts and beer history buffs will find a lot to like in this book." — Utah Beer News

Having spent half a year in and around Christchurch, New Zealand, I have stacks of vivid memories from this little city.
From my experience, it's colorful, and though it may not have the ethnic diversity of Los Angeles, London, etc., it is a place where humans of various backgrounds, appearances, and beliefs co-exist, mostly in great harmony.
I remember it feeling like a breath of fresh air as I met the locals - through their questions of who I am/where I am from/etc. - rather than placing assumptions and judgements onto me by my appearance and accent like I've experienced in California and the US in general, that the inquisitiveness stems from genuine curiosity. I don't recall ever feeling out of place or any social anxiety being a POC in New Zealand.
The side of Christchurch I got to experience as I landed into the Social Enterprise World Forum and PechaKucha all within the first several days is one of innovation, action, global solidarity, reconciliation, and community. Although there's no doubt one could see and feel the effects of destruction, grief, and loss from the earthquakes 8 years ago, there is a certain energy and sense of personal and communal purpose unlike ever before to (re)build a city for its people by its people. That spark has fostered neighbors to get to know one another better. That has allowed community gardens to pop up and sprout their seeds in the soil as well as the minds of many. That has gotten folks to work together in putting "we" before the "me."
Last year this time, I was right there in the city, enjoying the heck out of Holi with hundreds at the largest park in Christchurch Central. Holi is a Hindu festival of love or colors that signifies the victory of superior over immoral. All of us in this photo were born in different countries. We are united by our similarities as well as differences. And that is where all of us will keep going. Victory of superior over immoral. Celebrate culture and embrace diversity. White nationalist rhetoric, fear, and hate has no place. Period.
Deep deep love and support to everyone affected directly as well as indirectly by this horrific event.

Famous for its bustling aprés-ski, Ischgl is a family-friendly resort, suitable for skiers of all abilities. The blue runs and nursery slopes provide for beginners, and whilst there is a lack of challenging pistes, advanced skiers can enjoy the off-piste, leaving the intermediates to ski the pistes on offer. the array of shops, sports and walking routes also ensure that non-skiers aren't left wanting. Ischgl also boasts an impressive lift system, as well as an impressive selection of good mountain restaurants. Despite the necessary expansion of the resort, Ischgl has managed to retain its Tirolean feel, and whilst nearby St. Anton overshadows Ischgl on the slopes, off the slopes there are few resorts that can match Ischgl's bustling nightlife.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'cobbler' tag.
I screwed this one up a little. I shorted the recipe by about a cup of peaches. I only had three cups of peaches, not four. So, I went with it.
It was still a good, spicey, peachy cobbler-like dessert. But the cake was…a little dry.
BUT — the first time I made this, I used three cups of peaches and one cup of blackberries and it was awesome, a keeper.

PREP YEAR IN REVIEW: Large-Schools Softball Player of the Year Kallen Loveless of Edwardsville
EDWARDSVILLE - Kallen Loveless will approach her senior softball season in 2015 looking to duplicate or even better her statistics of 2014.
If the Edwardsville pitcher can even come close to putting up the polished stats she put up both on the mound and at the plate, the Tigers will once again be among the cream of the crop in Southern Illinois.
Loveless and the Tigers fell short of their goal for a state championship, losing 4-3 in a Class 4A super-sectional in extra innings to Frankfort Lincoln-Way East, but a 36-4 season was among the best in school history and Loveless played a huge role in it with her pitching arm and lethal bat.
Loveless was 29-3 in the circle with an 0.86 ERA. She allowed only 17 earned runs in 139 innings pitched with 27 walks and 156 strikeouts.
But it wasn't only Loveless' arm that made her a staple on the Tigers team. She led the team in batting average (.504), hits (57), home runs (seven) and a school-record 59 RBI. Loveless also had 12 doubles, which was second on the team.
"I had a lot of RBIs, but I wouldn't have had them if they didn't get on in front of me," Loveless said of her teammates. "It was just great all around. I got a lot stronger this past season. That's a lot of it. It was more power-type hitting for me. I was seeing the ball really well."
Loveless waited in the wings but was able to get ample opportunity as a freshman and as a sophomore pitching behind Amber Toenyes, who is now pitching at Eastern Illinois University.
When Loveless took the reigns, Edwardsville coach Lori Blade felt the experience was beneficial.
"The best part of Kallen is we were able to use her behind Amber," Blade said. "This year was her year to really take over and to see what she could really do as the No. 1. Without any doubt, she was ready for it. That led to the year she had.
"Kallen is so competitive. I'm not sure that you see that out of her all of the time except when she's on the mound because she's a great kid, a very smart kid. But she is just very competitive and I love that out of the kid."
Loveless added: "I trained hard all off-season because I knew I was coming into a big role. I came on the field and just let it all transfer. Everyone else was amazing as well."
Not known as the typical power pitcher with a high strikeout total, Loveless' success came from quality location and a stout defense that backed her up.
"I couldn't have done it without my defense behind me," Loveless said. "I'm a contact type of pitcher. I just get the hitters to make bad contact where they can't get any power behind (their swings). That's why I'm so thankful for my defense because that's the type of pitcher I am. I just make sure I keep the ball on the corner of the plate."
Blade said Loveless' work on the mound revolves around smarts.
"She's not a power pitcher," Blade said. "She's not going to have the strikeout number that a lot of kids have with the number of games that she won. It goes back to her intelligence and her ability to pitch, not just throw. Kallen is the perfect example of that."
It was a great chance for Edwardsville to win a Class 4A state title this past season, but walking off the field at Illinois State University serves as motivation for not only Loveless, but a lineup that will stay relatively in tact.
"We just had so much talent on our team this year," Loveless said. "We still had a great year, but that still hurts a little bit."
The Tigers had the game-winning run on third base with no outs in the bottom of the seventh inning of the super-sectoinal and failed to score.
"My motivation is we were 60 feet from going to state," Loveless said. "If we just keep working harder, we'll get that 60 feet and we'll go to state this year. We have the bulk of our lineup coming back. All of us are motivated after being so close."

Grilled Pizza Part 1: Amazing Pizza Dough
Grilled pizza is one of my specialties.
Six years ago, when My Pirate and My Kid left on tour with the Cascades Drum and Bugle Corps, I bought myself my first gas grill that I call My Girl Grill. It was exactly what I wanted. It was small, simple, and it had a cast iron grill. I bought My Girl Grill to make my own grilled pizza. And I spent that summer gardening during the day and the evenings were spent making pizza and sipping cocktails on my patio. It was a memorable summer. And now whenever the weather warms, I begin to crave grilled pizza.
The secret to a fantastic grilled pizza is the crust. The crust is the star and I searched long and hard for a great pizza dough recipe until I read about Peter Reinhart's brilliantbook, The Bread Baker's Apprentice on 101 Cookbooks. Peter takes 6 full pages to talk about his pizza dough and I felt an instant kinship with him. Pizza is serious business and his recipe makes the perfect pizza crust.
Peter's recipe is also the easiest dough recipe that I've ever made because it utilizes the delayed-fermentation technique. You mix the dough in a mixer and then it sits in the fridge overnight. No rising and punching (and cursing). Just mix and refrigerate. Then the dough can be used or frozen up to three months. I freeze my dough and move it to the fridge to thaw. When you're ready to use it, sit it out on the counter for two hours and then you are ready to make pizza. Amazing pizza.
This crust turns out light, crisp, with a tender bite to it. It is perfection. It is a Naples style crust that is meant for a light topping of great ingredients. So go splurge on your favorite cheese and meat and we'll meet back up here to make our grilled pizza in the next post.
Peter Reinhart's Napoletana Pizza Dough Recipe
4 ½ cups unbleached high-gluten bread flour, chilled
1 ¾ tsp. salt
1 teaspoon instant yeast
¼ cup olive oil
1 ¾ cups ice cold water
Semolina flour or corn meal for dusting
In the bowl of your electric mixer, add the flour, salt, and instant yeast. Stir together with the paddle and then add the olive oil and ice water. Stir until it absorbs the oil and water.
Then switch out the paddle with the dough hook. Using the dough hook, mix on medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and sticky. The dough should stick on the bottom of the bowl and clear the sides, if it lifts up add a teaspoon of water. And if it doesn't clear the sides of the bowl add a teaspoon of flour.
Oil a cutting board and move the dough to the board. Cut the dough into six pieces. Roll into balls with your oiled hands. Then place on a cookie sheet topped with parchment paper and sprayed with oil. Cover with plastic wrap or slide into a large food-grade plastic bag.
Place the dough in the fridge overnight and for up to three days. I place the dough in freezer boxes or bags and tuck them in the freezer for later use. You can freeze the dough for up to three months.

Mitsubishi Has Its Best May Sales Month in Over a Decade
By the end of May, Mitsubishi sold a total of 12,416 vehicles, with most of those models belonging to the Outlander family
Thanks to an extra selling day and hefty Memorial Day incentives, May turned out to be a fantastic sales month for most automakers. Included on that list is Mitsubishi.
Indeed, sales for Mitsubishi during May were up 31.7 percent compared to a year ago, making last month Mitsubishi's best May sales period since 2007.
At the end of the month, Mitsubishi had sold a total of 12,416 vehicles. During May of 2017, Mitsubishi only managed to sell 9,429 new vehicle models.
Of course, Mitsubishi has introduced two new models to its lineup since May of last year. Both the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV are new for the 2018 model year.
Last month, Mitsubishi sold 851 Eclipse Cross models. So far this year, Mitsubishi has sold 2,159 Eclipse Cross vehicles, by no means a small amount, but perhaps not the big debut the automaker was hoping for its new crossover.
Meanwhile, Mitsubishi sold 297 Outlander PHEV models in May. So far this year, the company has sold 1,566 of its hybrid variant of the popular Outlander model.
Speaking of the Mitsubishi Outlander, Mitsubishi managed to sell 4,468 units of the vehicle during May. That easily made it Mitsubishi's best-selling model for the month.
The Outlander Sport was not far behind, with a total of 3,319 units sold. That's up roughly 18.2 percent compared to the number of Outlander Sport models sold during the previous May.
Even the Mitsubishi Mirage experienced sales increases last month. Mitsubishi sold 3,101 units of the compact model during May, an increase of 32.4 percent.
Still, Mirage sales are on the decline so far this year. Mitsubishi has only sold 10,702 units of the model so far in 2018, a sales decrease of 10.4 percent.
As for the Mitsubishi lineup as a whole, sales are up by 19.7 percent. So far this year, Mitsubishi has sold 56,178 of its vehicles.
Take a closer look at Mitsubishi's May sales number using the chart below:

The Black Barn Door Completes this Chic Bathroom./
When our client sent in these pictures, I was in awe at how beautifully the bathroom was created with a black and white theme. The bold part was for them to paint the barn door we custom made in black!
If you want to steal this look (I hope our client don't mind), talk to us!
All the Way from Newfoundland!/
Our clients flew in from Newfoundland for a business trip and picked up the Heavy Metal barn door hardware to take back on the plane back with him! Talking about efficiency. Once back, it was only a few days before we received an email with the installed doors! Nevertheless, his wife was very pleased.

A Basement Reno in Sudbury that Fancies Barn Doors/
Here is a testimonial from our client in Sudbury, Ontario: "Dealing with 1925 Workbench has been a real pleasure. As we all know renovations can be a huge stress especially when thinking outside the box and trying something different like barn doors vs traditional doors.
You were both highly efficient and were very welcoming when we first met at your shop. Ordering was quick with the final product being better than expected. Hanging the doors was surprisingly simple and the end result made the room pop in a non traditional yet exciting way.
Thanks so much and all the best!!"

MJ Architecture is Home to a Sliding Slab Door/
Going into an architect's home, one feels different, everything just seems like it was meant to be there.

Ottawa meets Korea on the Sliding Barn Door Hardware/
Sliding in the Mudroom/
Our client just sent in a photo of the finished installation of her two heritage doors using our Heavy Metal sliding barn door hardware. Looks pretty good! If you want to mount without the wood block behind the track like this one, it is much better if have a solid beam running across above the opening. Our client had the room built from scratch, so she was able to have the solid beam up before the drywalling.

BSE in Portugal
Cases of the dreaded bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) have risen sharply in Portugal this year, prompting the Spanish government on 24 September to declare an embargo on Portuguese beef products. BSE, or mad cow disease, is suspected to be linked with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a fatal brain affliction in people.
According to European Community (EC) figures, Portugal reported 60 new cases of BSE in cattle in the first 6 months of 1998, ranking the country third as a harborer of BSE after the United Kingdom and Ireland. As many as 180 cases have cropped up in Portugal since 1994, presumably as a result of feed made from ruminant offal imported from the U.K.
Last week a team of EC experts arrived in Portugal to determine how BSE has spread. The EC's veterinary committee was expected to decide on 6 October whether other EC countries should adopt an embargo. Spain's minister of farming, Loyola de Palacio, said that Spain will end the ban if the EC committee determines that proper measures are being taken, including notification of any new cases of BSE to EC authorities and total exclusion of offal from cattle feed.
Portugal's agriculture minister, Fernando Gomes Da Silva, blames the sudden increase in BSE cases on the assumption that the disease, which has a long incubation period, is finally peaking in Portugal, some 6 years after it did in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Inca Pillars of Society
New archaeological finds on a sparsely populated island in a Peruvian lake are offering the first evidence that it was a place of Incan sun worship during the winter solstice.
In the 16th century, Spaniards described pillars surrounding the Incan capital of Cusco (in what is now Peru) that helped Incan astronomers determine planting and harvesting times and festival days. Scientists have tried for years to locate such pillars, but on the mainland it seems most have been overrun by urban sprawl. Archaeologist Brian Bauer of the University of Illinois, Chicago, astronomer David Dearborn of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, and graduate student Matthew Seddon of the University of Chicago therefore turned to the Island of the Sun in Lake Titicaca, which according to myth was the birthplace of the sun and was a center of worship at the time of the Spanish conquest.
Indeed, the researchers report in the 24 September issue of Latin American Antiquities, they found the remains of what seem to be two pillars, 32 meters apart. When viewed from the sacred plaza where the rulers and other elite most likely held their ceremonies, the pillars frame the setting sun for a few days around the June solstice. The team also found the remains of a platform outside the plaza sanctuary walls. From this vantage point, the researchers propose, ordinary onlookers could watch the sun set directly between the pillars—and behind the elites on the plaza. That setup would have reinforced the notion that Inca rulers were "children of the sun," Bauer says.
Goodies From R&D
Americans who worry that their federal tax dollars are disappearing down a rat hole can rest easy, according to the The Science Coalition. The Washington, D.C.-based lobby group has compiled a list of more than 100 government-funded "great advances in science," which they presented to members of the House Science Committee on 24 September.
Among the more futuristic projects on the list are tiny flying and crawling robots, being developed by Vanderbilt University's Ephrahim Garcia and Michael Goldfarb, that may help soldiers wend their way through minefields or let police spy on hostage-holding terrorists. Other highlights include a cotton T-shirt laced with medical sensors to monitor a wounded soldier's vital signs; a nontoxic vapor developed on the space shuttle that can remove a plant chemical from vegetable bins that contributes to spoilage; and a satellite-steered tractor.
Private Group Buys Troubled Allegheny System
Researchers at the Allegheny University of the Health Sciences are breathing a sigh of relief over the sale last week of most of its parent Allegheny health care system. A private hospital chain, Tenet Healthcare Corp. of Santa Barbara, California, picked up the system's eight debt-ridden Philadelphia hospitals for a bargain price of $345 million. Tenet has pledged to retain close ties with the university and is putting $60 million into helping it become self-sustaining.
The Allegheny parent organization filed for bankruptcy in July, claiming $1.5 billion in debt (Science, 28 August, p. 1258). The university, which comprises MCP-Hahnemann School of Medicine and several professional schools, will now be managed by Philadelphia's Drexel University, with the possibility of a merger down the line.
"There was great relief here among the faculty and especially among the students" that the university is likely to survive intact, says medical school professor and gerontology researcher Vincent J. Cristofalo. But he fears that under the new regime, "there won't be the commitment to research that there has been in the past." He says research centers such as his are to be folded into departments and will be losing lab space as well as institutional support. Other faculty members are anxiously appraising their options. Says one who asked to remain anonymous: "What we say around here is anybody who can leave is leaving."

When I pick up donuts or soft pretzels or bagels, the person dispensing them will always grab a piece of tissue paper which he or she uses to grab these items. I always presumed that they do that to protect the food from any impurities that may be on their hand.
If that's the case, why do they leave that paper in the bag with the food that was just picked?

Charlie Marcuse, The "Singing Hot Dog Man" from Comerica Park has been let-go for allegedly discouraging people from putting ketchup instead of mustard on the dogs he sells as a vendor. (I had him on my show many times!) Charlie is a "Mustard Man" but after 15 years the Sports Service Union has finally put it's foot down on his public displays of condiment preferences.
- So now he'll be singing for his supper instead of yours!
- Apparently after receiving three complaints, the managment said, "You're Out!".
- Charlie is seeking Asylum in France…chanting "French's Mustard!" as he was led out of Comerica Park.
Four NFL "Centers" have signed on to promote an alternative to toilet paper. The new pre-moistend bathroom wipes are called "One Wipe Charlies" and will be targeted directly at men.
- The Quarterbacks are behind the Centers 100%.
The Vatican has opened the door to the possibility of letting priests get married.
- There will be limits: The happy couple will only be allowed to register at "Lord & Taylor".
- Just like any other husband, a preist will have to make sure he doesn't come home with lipstick on his collar.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency banned an 80-year-old weightlifter for 2 years.
- Apparently they consider Metamucil a Performing Enhancing Drug.
- The guy is 80 years old so a 2-year suspension basically means he's been banned for life.
A new report says the White House is infested with vermin. This time cockroaches are the problem, but in the past they've also dealt with mice and rats.
- Of course that's just when they invited members of Congress to a State Dinner.
Elton John said that despite being the godmother to his two young sons, Lady Gaga is in "a very dangerous place" and won't return his phone calls.
- Turns out she accidentally turned off her phone when she went to the butcher shop to try on some dresses.
Billboard's Women in Music Awards has named Pink "Women of the Year".
- They awarded the "Pole Dancer of the Year" to Miley Cyrus.
Have a great day and I'll see you back here Wednesday!

1930's Quilt
I have been working on a hand applique quilt for 5 years. When Provo Craft released Preserves Cart I knew I had to have it. The quilt has fruit in the center of each block. So my plan is to cut the fruit with my cricut and heat set it on the quilt. I'm hoping it won't take another 5 years. LOL I know it won't, it will go fast using the cricut method.

"How did all of this start?"
It's a common question. One that I get asked in almost every interview–whether I'm conducting the interview or on the other end.
How you answer that question determines how much somebody connects with your brand. If the story is rather dull and meandering, their connection goes way down. Yet if it inspires them, they could become one of your greatest advocates.
Over the next several weeks, we're going to do a series of posts that looks at the 7 Types of Stories and breaks down each one in great detail. Up first–The Origin Story.
The origin story–the story of how a business, idea, product, or service came to be–is one of the most common, and most powerful, types of stories we can tell.
It's a story that every storyteller should be familiar with because many of your clients can benefit from having a strong origin story created for them. And you need to be able to tell your own origin story to really build trust and create a connection to your own brand.
Why Tell An Origin Story?
Well, a few reasons. First off, there are way too many choices out there. Buying anything from Ketchup to getting your lawn mowed presents you with dozens of different options. Nearly every option will have their own marketing spin and it is hard to know what you can trust.
An Origin Story shares how something came to life, and in doing so, it lets the audience connect with the people behind the something. This type of story builds trust, confidence, and an emotional connection to the brand.
The Origin Story is less about teaching or imparting knowledge, and much more about taking the audience on an inspiring journey that leads the audience to believe in the people.
A powerful facet of the Origin Story is that nobody can take yours.
While we might share a similar vision, other companies can have a similar impact, and we may have the same values–how you brought something to life has much more originality to it. And that originality is a powerful way for the company to stand out and create a unique connection.
Check out the origin story of Muse and consider how it affects how you feel about what we're trying to do.
How To Tell An Origin Story?
While there are different types of stories, there is a common structure within all of them. What really changes is where you look for the elements.
For the Origin Story, that means taking a good hard look at where the idea for the business came from. Trying to identify the moments that led to the idea, and the main steps in bringing it to life.
To start creating an Origin Story, look to find the early conflict, the problem, that you or the founder ran into.
Remember, businesses and nonprofits exist to solve a problem.
In Muse's origin story, that conflict was working in a factory creating something that had no purpose.
The key to this type of story, is to try to find a moment when the founder first ran into that problem. Whereas most people simply keep moving and ignored the problem, this founder decided things had to change.
After running into the conflict, look for the first big action the founder took to try and find a solution. You don't want this to be the actual solution–we need a journey and to build anticipation before we reveal the solution. After running into the conflict, the next moment is some major action that signifies wanting to find a solution.
In the story we shared above, the next plot point following the conflict was going to University to explore Psychology.
After that first major action, you're into the journey of the story. This is where you want 2-3 major milestones that happened along the way. Setbacks or hurdles are great journey points as they show how hard the founder was willing to work to find a solution. And the more they want it, the more we want it for them–our connection deepens.
In Muse's origin story, there are several journey points. The first is when my roommate came in and asked for help to shoot a wedding. And then there are the three phone calls–Canon, the NFL and CBS. That then leads into workshops and the biggest question people had, which was about story.
Notice how in this origin story there are several journey points and therefore we move through them rather quickly. We could have taken you to the sidelines of the first Superbowl and how that experience felt, but it would make the journey too long.
As you build out the journey, look for the logical milestones that connect the early conflict to the solution that is arrived at. Too few journey points and the solution feels too easy. Too many journey points and the audience can get bored. You'll often want to try testing out different versions of the story to see which journey is just right.
The last part of the Origin Story is the resolution or the solution that the founder comes to. When you're creating this type of story, you'll be starting with an understanding of what was created, so it often works well to work backward from there to find the conflict, initiation, and journey.
Here's a quick recap of the main plot points of the Origin Story:
- The Conflict–when the founder first runs into the problem.
- The Initiaion–one of the first major actions taken by the founder to find a solution.
- The Journey–a collection of milestones that happened in the process of the founder seeking a solution.
- The Resolution–the actual solution that the founder arrives at, the business, product, service, or idea that was born.
Remember that the Origin Story makes an excellent film, but it also is perfect inside talks, when speaking to media, and for your website in the form of copy.
If you're a filmmaker, be sure to take the time to develop your own Origin Story so that the next time a client asks you how you got into this, you can leave them inspired and connected.

Bibi and Human-Pressing Pause.
Hello everyone!
So I have some bitter sweet news. Unfortunately due to the volume of paid work I have- I am unable to continue the update for Bibi and Human that would have launched this month.
However like I mentioned this is bittersweet news, for the Next update will be the {Beta} full game. Complete with the main story and some fun side-things I had been working on.
I am expecting to launch the Full Beta June/July. Like I mentioned I am juggling too much paid work/ prior commitments to continue with Bibi and Human. Which is exciting but also-boo responsibilities 'Am I right?'.
Thank you for understanding, this is as hard for me as it is for you.
But look forward to that full glory beta!!
if you haven't played it yet, definitely check out what is prototype

Are you sure?
This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
Drugs. Extortion. Slavery. Organized crime is fighting for a hold on John Rebus's peaceful Scotland. And when Rebus rescues a young Bosnian girl forced into prostitution, he breaks a policeman's golden rule to never get personally involved in a case. Add to that the hunt for an elderly Nazi accused of slaughtering an entire French village, and Rebus wonders just how evil humans can be-until his own daughter is mortally injured as a gangland warning for him to back off. Then even a dedicated cop like Rebus might make a deal with the devil to find the culprit. Not for justice. For revenge.

For the thousandth time, I, once again, dreamt of you, the angel that haunts my dreams every night.
Everything felt so real, like a rewinded story that is stuck in my memory. I could almost feel you with the touch of my fingertips, although just barely.
I dreamt about when you and I were still able to hold hands; when if I miss you, I could still see your face and feel at ease;
when I kiss you, I could still feel the warmth of your lips linger; when I don't have to be terrified at the world, because I have you—my entire universe—by my side.
When I opened my eyes, I stared at the ceiling and feel the tears that wet my face. I was all alone, on a cold bed, without you.
Praying to whichever God out there that you're happy, even when I can't be by your side just yet.
Memories are what's left of you in my mortal life, but you'll always reside in the deepest part of my heart.
Because on the night you stopped saying goodnight, I stopped sleeping.

AdaptiveMT was released with Studio 2017 introducing the ability for users to adapt the SDL Language Cloud machine translation with their own preferred style on the fly. Potentially this is a really powerful feature since it means that over time you should be able to improve the results you see from your SDL Language Cloud machine translation and reduce the amount of post editing you have to do. But in order to be able to release this potential you need to know a few things about getting started. Once you get started you may also wonder what the analysis results are referring to when you see values appearing against the AdaptiveMT rows in your Studio analysis report. So in this article I want to try and walk through the things you need to know from start to finish… quite a long article but I tried to cover the things I see people asking about so I hope it's useful.
Category: Machine Translation
Spot the difference!
I don't know if you can recall these games from when you were a kid? I used to spend hours trying to find all the differences between the image on the left and the one on the right. I never once thought how that might become a useful skill in later life… although in some cases it's a skill I'd rather not have to develop!
You may be wondering where I'm going with this so I'll explain. Last weekend the SFÖ held a conference in Umeå, Sweden… I wasn't there, but I did get an email from one of my colleagues asking how you could see what changes had been made in your bilingual files as a result of post-editing Machine Translation. The easy answer of course is to do the post-editing with your track changes switched on, then it's easy to spot the difference. That is useful, but it's not going to help with measurement, or give you something useful to be able to discuss with your client. It's also not going to help if you didn't work with tracked changes in the first place because you'd need some serious spot the difference skills to evaluate your work!
Using the SDL Community
Last week I spent a few days in Amsterdam talking community with a group of SDL people. We were there to see how we can shape the community and make it a place where anyone using our products, or just thinking about using them, will be able to find what they need, talk about them or just share experiences in a safe friendly environment. Actually it's a lot more than a safe friendly environment… it's the only place where you can say what you think and guarantee it'll be seen by the right people in SDL. This could be product managers, developers, support engineers, sales guys, marketing teams, the CEO of the company… and even I have a part to play! It's also full of real product experts… so your peers who have years of experience and know how the products behave. Things don't always work the way it says in the book, and the book definitely doesn't cover everything that's possible! But if you have a question, more than likely it'll be something your fellow community members have come across before, and if they haven't there's a good chance they'll have something interesting to say about it! Continue reading "Using the SDL Community"
MT or not MT?
Machine Translation or not Machine Translation… is this the question? It's a good question and one that gets discussed at length in many places, but it's not the question I want to consider today. Machine Translation has its place and it's a well established part of the translation workflow for many professionals today. The question I want to consider today is whether you should hide the fact you are using Machine Translation or not?
This is a question that comes up from time to time and it has consumed my thoughts this evening quite a bit, particularly after a discussion in a ProZ forum this afternoon, that's still running after three years, so I decided to take a step back and think about my position on this question and whether I'm being unreasonable or not. My position at the start of this article is that you should not hide the fact you are using Machine Translation. Continue reading "MT or not MT?"
The ins and outs of AutoSuggest
The AutoSuggest feature in Studio has been around since the launch of Studio 2009 and based on the questions I see from time to time I think it's a feature that could use a little explanation on what it's all about. In simple terms it's a mechanism for prompting you as you type with suggested target text that is based on the source text of the document you are translating. So sometimes it might be a translation of some or all of the text in the source segment, and sometimes it might be providing an easy way to replicate the source text into the target. This is done by you entering a character via the keyboard and then Studio suggests suitable text that can be applied with a single keystroke. In terms of productivity this is a great feature and given how many other translation tools have copied this in one form or another I think it's clear it really works too!
AutoSuggest comes from a number of different sources, some out of the box with every version of the product, and some requiring a specific license. The ability to create resources for AutoSuggest is also controlled by license for some things, but not for all. When you purchase Studio, any version at all, you have the ability to use the AutoSuggest resources out of the box from three places: Continue reading "The ins and outs of AutoSuggest"
Language Cloud… word-counts… best practice?
Best practice! This is a phrase I've had a love/hate relationship with over the course of my entire career… or maybe it's just a love to hate! The phrase is something that should perhaps be called "Best Suggestions" and not "Best Practice" because all too often I think it's used to describe the way someone wants you to work as opposed to anything that represents the views of a majority of users over a long period of time, or anything that takes account the way different people want to work. In fact with new technology how can it be "Best Practice" when it hasn't been around long enough in the first place? I think for a clearly defined and well established process then "Best Practice" has it's place… but otherwise it's often the easy answer to a more complex problem, or just a problem that is considered too hard to address.

Should I get certified?
A couple of weeks ago I was asked about certification by one of our Business Consultants… in fact she asked me if I was certified? Thoughts of being carried away by men in white coats crossed my mind at the very mention of the word "certified"… but I digress!
When I joined SDL at the end of 2006 the first SDL Certification programme was just getting pulled together, and my team were responsible for the technical content, working closely with our enthusiastic marketing team. We had pretty tight timescales to deliver it, with three levels – Getting Started, Intermediate and Advanced. All based around two products – Translators Workbench 2007 and SDLX 2007. I can remember now the amount of effort that it took to prepare this from all the teams involved (Jenny, Tracey, Denise, Argyro… all put in a tremendous effort to make it a reality), and then more work in ensuring all our trainers were certified and had been through our train the trainer courses so they could deliver the certification training to lots of enthusiastic translators and project managers. Notwithstanding this we also wanted the material in other languages and this was a brilliant introduction for me into the world of a busy Language Service Provider as I was told in no uncertain terms on a number of occasions what a poor client we were! It was indeed a good education in those early months at SDL. I can also remember the long… long… long… telephone conversations with some of our enthusiastic customers who went through the certification and then didn't agree with the answers! I can see the men in white coats running through my garden towards me as I think about all of this… but I survived!

Wanderlust: Stage Design
Stage scrim design for Wanderlust festivals. The stage is where all the big festival events happen. It's a gathering place for inspirational talks, yoga and meditation sessions, concerts, and more. Wanderlust needed a stage design that would be immediately recognizable. As attendees shared photos of their amazing time at the festival, we wanted the Wanderlust name and message to be loud and proud. This design is inspired by elements of sacred geometry, key to the Wanderlust brand. The logo is massive, but tasteful. The Wanderlust tagline, "Find Your True North" frames the stage and sets a lovely intention for the classes and happenings at the stage.

Beautiful bridges: Webb Bridge
What is it: a pedestrian and cyclist bridge across the Yarra river in Melbourne.
Design team: artist Robert Owen based the idea on traditional Aboriginal eel traps. Engineers Ove Arup and architects Denton Corker translated it into reality.
Cost and date: part of a £4m renovation scheme for Melbourne's Docklands, it opened in 2003.
Engineering ingenuity: by day, the bridge's perforated cladding looks solid, but at night it appears transparent, thanks to ankle-level lighting created by engineer John Ford, who worked in the theatre before joining Arup.

Many harmful chemicals have been found in the drinking water supply of over 6 million Americans.
Deleterious levels of chemicals have been detected in the drinking water of over 6 million Americans, according to a new study led by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS).
The study got published on August 9, 2016 in Environmental Science & Technology Letters.
These industrial chemicals have been linked to such deadly diseases as cancer as well as other serious health issues. The chemicals are termed PFASs (polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances).
These dangerous chemicals are found in food wrappers, articles of clothing, Teflon cookware and fire retardant foams. Among the long list of ailments they cause may be included: kidney/testicular cancer, hormone disorders, high cholesterol levels and obesity.
These PFASs have been around since the last 60 odd years. Once these chemicals find a way into the water supply, they are very hard to banish from the environment.
The present wastewater removal schemes do not completely get rid of PFASs. The issue has more to it than meets the eye. That is because data from smaller scale water supplies and wells that serve smaller communities is not available.
These may bring drinking water to over 100 million people. Researchers looked into six types of PFASs. Over 36,000 water samples were collected on a national level by the EPA.
Industrial sites manufacture PFASs. Also at military training sites and at airports, the fire retardant foams contain PFASs. Finally there is the wastewater treatment plants which are just as responsible for this SNAFU.
The discharges from these wastewater treatment plants could contaminate groundwater. Also the sludge that is a waste product and used as fertilizer could be contributing to the pollution of drinking water.
In over 33 states, PFASs were reported in 194 out of 4864 water supplies. Drinking water from 13 states was equivalent to 75% of the unsafe supply figure.
These states included in their purview: California, New Jersey, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Georgia, Minnesota, Arizona, Massachusetts and Illinois.
66 public water supply points that served 6 million people had at least one water sample which was equivalent to or greater than the unsafe level of PFASs.
The weakness of this study was that the time periods the people lived at the polluted water sites was not taken into account. The risks are there for those people subject to long term exposure.
So this was something that should have been taken into account. Such pollution of the drinking water supply could only lead to a host of illnesses in the consumers.
However, Louisville Water Co. issued a statement on Wednesday against this research. They stated that the water they are supplying to its more than 850,000 customers is safe.
"You may see local media coverage on water quality in the Ohio River Valley," the company stated on its website. "Our water is safe to drink and use."

An Aberdeen man today pleaded with the council to fix a fence that has been broken for more than four years.
Cornhill resident Robert Cowie claims the damage has meant teenagers and drug users are congregating around the communal area.
The broken barrier in Cornhill Gardens is partly owned by Aberdeen City Council.
Robert, 50, whose house is next to the fence, has spoken to politicians, including Aberdeen North MP Kirsty Blackman, about the issue, but still nothing has been done.
Robert, who is currently jobless, recently found syringes in the communal drying area – and believes the lack of fence is attracting drug users.
He said: "The council has said the house owners in the area have to pay for it.
"At this point, it's just two poles coming out of the ground.
"I found drug paraphernalia in the area and had to get rid of it myself as kids are using the area as a shortcut to get to school at Cornhill Primary."
A mixed recycling bin in the area has also attracted antisocial behaviour.
Robert, who lives in the council property with his wife Anna and 15-year-old stepson Lewis Napier, said: "It's not safe at all – it's in an inappropriate place.
"Teenagers have torched the bin and are using the area to congregate."
He added: "The council has told me to keep taking notes, but really I just feel like I'm wasting my time.
"When I saw the drugs in the area last month, it was the final straw."
Kirsty Blackman MP confirmed she has been trying to get the fence fixed.
She said: "I understand there are a number of private owners who have responsibility for the area, in addition to the council.
"The space is a real mess and city wardens have been involved in working with local children to try to stop them cutting through the area.
"This highlights an issue we see across the city, particularly in tenement blocks, where repairs can not be done as private owners are not willing to sanction the work.
"I would encourage everyone who owns a property to consider their responsibilities and how their lack of action might affect other owners and the amenity of an area."
An Aberdeen City Council spokeswoman said: "These areas are now under multiple ownership, whereas previously they were owned by the city council. As such, to resolve these matters, requires all owners to agree. Unfortunately this has not happened as yet.."

So What Can You Actually Recycle?/
I know from personal experience that taking a first step toward reducing your environmental impact can be an overwhelming prospect. Where do you even start? There are a lot of resources available on this topic - blogs, articles, podcasts - but sometimes the sheer volume of information can paralyze us to inaction.
It helps to stop, take a deep breath, and remember that any lifestyle change, no matter how minute, is going to make a difference, so the only thing that matters is that we start somewhere. (Psst! If you haven't yet read my quick start guide or last month's post about taking a first step, check those out first!)
I have to admit, there was a time in my life when I didn't recycle, because I was so confused about which items my curbside recycling service would accept. This probably has something to do with the fact that my superintendent yelled at me for putting cardboard in the recycling bin with the glass, plastic, and metal, which led me to believe that cardboard wasn't recyclable in my area. I wish he'd explained to me that cardboard is recyclable, but has to be segregated from glass, metal, and plastic.
So what can you actually recycle? The short answer: more than you think. The complicated answer: it depends on where you live.
If You're Not Already Recycling, Start NOW
Call your city council, or go to their website, and find out if there is a recycling collection service available in your area. If there is, find out what their requirements are for collection. They may want you to use a specific type of bin or bag, or may have restrictions on recycling certain items.
If there is no recycling pickup service available in your area, find out where your nearest recycling collection center is. Pay them a visit and find out which items they'll accept. Odds are, they'll accept paper, plastic, glass, and tin at the very least. Some centers accept household items like batteries, lightbulbs, and electronics as well.
Segregate Your Trash
Create a home for each type of rubbish: a place for paper and cardboard, a place for recyclable plastic, glass, and food cans, a place for food waste, and a place for other household trash that can't be recycled. When you separate out the items that can be recycled or composted, it's easier to spot the items in your regular trash bin that could be avoided or eliminated.
For example, do you see a lot of plastic cutlery or styrofoam takeaway containers? Cutting back on takeaway meals, or bringing your own food containers and cutlery to takeaway restaurants could eliminate these. Lots of single-use coffee cups and lids? Invest in a reusable cup and kiss these goodbye.
Plastic, Glass, and Cans (Tins)
There is no excuse for throwing glass food jars or bottles in the trash. EVER. Same goes for tin cans. These are the most universally and easily recycled items, so sending them to landfill is almost criminal.
Where you live will determine how much plastic you can recycle. You'll have to call your city council to see which recycling numbers they'll accept. For example, my local recycling service will only accept #1 and #2 plastics for recycling. Things like blister packaging and dairy containers are usually #5 plastic, and can't be recycled in my area, so I try to avoid them when I can.
And don't forget what I mentioned in this post, about plastics having a limited lifespan, even when we recycle them. Recycle the plastics you can, but try to avoid them when possible. Are there water bottles in your bin? Get yourself a reusable bottle stat! Lots of plastic milk cartons? Try finding milk in glass, or make your own nut milk at home instead.
Paper and Cardboard
In most places, paper and cardboard are recyclable. Depending where you live, you may or may not be able to recycle glossy or heavily printed paper. You'll have to check with your local council on this. In general, though, non-glossed paper and cardboard are easier to break down, so it's best to opt for non-glossed packaging when you can.
If you're having a hard time recycling paper and cardboard in your area (and even if you're not), you should consider composting it! Shredded paper and cardboard make great dry material for a compost heap; combine them with your food waste to create extremely rich and fertile soil for your garden or someone else's.
Food Waste
How often does food sit in your fridge or cupboard until it goes bad? What about leftovers? Making a conscious effort to buy only the food that you'll eat before it rots, and to polish off those leftovers, can save a lot of organic material from ending up in your bin.
Even if you do have to throw out food that's gone off, though, it should be composted rather than tossed in with the rest of your regular rubbish. Some communities (like mine) have municipal composting operations and will collect food waste along with the recycling, which could be a good option for you if you're not into the idea of composting yourself. Some farmers markets also have compost collection stalls.
I've heard it said that recycling is a "good place to start, but a bad place to end." But if you're new to the recycling game, focus on diverting as much as you can from the landfill, and eventually you'll be able to cut down on the things you send to the recycling bin as well! Change takes time and it happens in small steps, so it's best to make one small adjustment, and once that starts to feel comfortable for you, make another. Every little bit helps.

Each sculpture starts from a number of thrown pots made on the potter's wheel which are left to go leather hard or are started as slab built forms. They are then cut and assembled to get the basic shape. This gives a firm hollow body which is an ideal base to start. Clay is then added or removed, shaped and carved until it has come to life. They are then finished with oxides, raw materials, clay slips and my own glazes.

It provides scalability and it also provides secure messaging.
It provides scalability and it also provides secure messaging.
It is very robust and very scalable.
At a recent conference, I went to a presentation that had the latest version and it has amazing stuff that's coming out. So, I am excited to use those, specifically surrounding the web console and the fact that it's API integrated.
We have stability in our environment because of the product. We can keep adding solutions to the mixture and it still performs as is, which is again a more stable process.
It provides scalability.
I usually deal with level three support and they're pretty awesome; so, they're very good. I rate them 5/5.
There was not a previous solution. I know because of experience with my other jobs that this is a more robust technology to invest in.
Setup was straightforward. I had experience from my previous work, so I was able to bring that experience and implement it here. I was fully versed with it, so it was easier for me.
It's super expensive, so ask them if they can consolidate some other licensing costs. But, IBM is IBM, so I guess we'll pay for it.
IBM was on the top of our short list. I didn't even look at the others, because I am biased.
I would do a PoC with IBM and there's a lot of technical help out there and people who would come to help you. So, use them and also look for other customers who have used the product. Then, you will be able to see the benefits of it and try to fit it in to your department.

Mark and I usually like to take sporadic weekend trips places to allow ourselves to breathe and reset. We haven't taken one in awhile due to the amount of work and projects we've been working on but finally stole some time to go away.
We traveled to Lake George which is about 4-5 hours away with no exact plans to guide us.
Saturday was filled with driving, taking a short hike in the Tongue Mountain Range, having a very tasty dinner and brews at the Adirondack Brewery, an unexpected fireworks show on the lake, and nestling into our final destination The Juliana where we had a small fire by the beach.
Sunday we took a tandem kayak out onto the lake which was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The Juliana was perfect and we'll definitely be back! For breakfast we hit up The Silo. A gorgeous old barn with three floors of gifts. It smells of fresh cider doughnuts and the food was amazing. We got our favorite biscuits, sausage, gravy, and eggs. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it...
The day ended at the sculpture park Storm King; 500 acres of beautiful landscape dotted with sculptures.
A refreshing and inspiring adventure.

bouncing back into shape with swissmilk
Actually I'm a great improviser when it comes to cooking. One of my favourite things to do is emptying out our fridge. But, these days our fridge doesn't offer too many attractive things to cook with.. I'm 9 days postpartum now and not allowed to lift heavy weights, and actually don't feel like doing groceries at all at the moment. We rather spend every minute with our precious newborn baby boy. I'm so obsessed and in love and don't even want to leave him for a minute.
So I was perfectly fine when they asked me to test cook the new swissmilk program. It's a diet program which should get you back in "bikini shape" without starving yourselves. Well how? It's not about the amount you actually eat, it's about what you eat. It's a low carb diet program high in calcium (from dairy products).
Food high in proteins (meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk and dairy products and legumes) will keep you satisfied for a longer period, You don't even have to use non-fat versions of a dairy product. As stomach filler you gotta enjoy vegetables, salads and seasonal fruit (low in sugar ones such as: apples, pears and berries). Rapeseed oil, nuts and butter provide you with the needed healthy fats.
Carbs (do whole grain!!) are the last part of the diet, try to avoid them as much as possible. For those who sit pretty much the whole day: try to skip carbs!
So the principle of the swissmilk low carb program: Reduce the intake of carbs and raise the intake of filling proteins and dietary fibre. With every meal goes a glass of milk or another dairy product.
Scientific studies proved that the intake of dairy supports weight loss.
Calcium supports your metabolism and helps you to reduce your belly fat. It stops the emerging of new fat, inhibits fat retention and promotes the reduction of fat.
the four most important points for a successful weight loss:
- prefer food high in water content such as: vegetables, mushrooms, salads and seasonal fruit
- reduce carbs to a maximum of one portion a day (!)
- with every meal goes a portion of proteins and a dairy product
- exercise to burn calories
and not to forget: if you really want to loose weight, the amount of calories you burn has to be higher than your daily intake! sorry but that's still a true fact.
The swissmilk low carb diet is perfectly shaped for my current breastfeeding situation. First of all I want to intake all the important nutrients, which our boy needs! Especially the vitamin B12, which is very important for the development of the brain, nerve system and the general health of your baby! So you should not continue a vegan diet while breastfeeding!
Calcium is very important for the infants bone structure. Babys will use up all the mamas vitamins to keep up their level.
The swissmilk recipe which we enjoyed was a vegetarian frittata. Super easy and quick to prepare. and very nutritious as well!
Vegetarian Frittata - the spring version!
+ 1 small onion, in slices
+ butter / oil
+ 2 cups (300g) vegetables: i.e. carrots, radish, asparagus, Chinese cabbage in slices
+ 3 eggs
+ 1/3 cup cream (I used sour cream instead of heavy cream)
+ 3/4 extant cheese
+ salt & pepper
damp the onions and the vegetables in oil / butter.
in a bowl whisk together eggs, cream, grated cheese, salt and pepper.
Transfer the vegetables to the baking pan, pour the wet mixture over it and slightly stir. Bake for 15-20 minutes on 180°.

View a complete listing of our work here.
News reporting often puts us in touch with community members, city officials, business owners, artists and entertainers who we interview and quote in our stories. It also involves a significant amount of research and fact checking.
Journalism differs from writing marketing communication copy, although there are many overlaps. The main through line of our work for the Westender and other clients is storytelling, and our news content is a highly public example of our storytelling in action.
Here are a few samples of our work for the Westender:

The Benewah County Sheriff Marine Unit is responsible for keeping the peace on all lakes, rivers and other waters within the county. Activities include patrols, safety, emergency response, and boater education.
The marine unit is staffed by two part-time deputies who utilize patrol boats stationed in St. Maries and at Rocky Point. Patrols are conducted on the St. Joe River, the St. Maries River, Benewah Lake, Round Lake, Lake Hepton, Chatcolet, Hidden Bay and the southernmost portion of Coeur d'Alene Lake.
Safe and enjoyable boating for our community is our primary goal. To achieve this we provide complementary safety inspections; provide boating safety education at community events, local schools and classes throughout the year. We also contact violators on the water and take appropriate actions as necessary. The deputies are specially trained in boat handling; small craft fire suppression, marine laws, BUI investigation, boating accident investigation and water rescues.
