Week Of Awesome I V - Day 1
Entry posted by Endurion ·
1079 views
Welcome to day 1 of the Week of Awesome IV competition!
So far the themes are gameplayish Shadows and Evolution, and graphical Undead and Ruins.
First thought: Urgh. Second thought: Urgh.
But nevertheless, I enter, I make a game and maybe get out alive :)
Shadows is a theme that might work out with a quite similar theme from a Ludum Dare back in the days. Evolution, while sounding like a nifty idea, but graphically gives me no idea. I hope somebody does go for it, I'm curious.
That's shadows then. Undead and/or ruins both seem quite fitting, let's see what to make of it.
I spent most of the first day to get a tile system done. I added a custom lighting on top (only vertex based), which is really more or less a copy of the lighting I had in the Ludum Dare game. I intend to give it a decent overhaul though, but I need it to get the intended gameplay up and running as fast as possible.
I can't stress this enough: On a tight deadline, get the required feature running first. If it doesn't work out, you can still go for something else. If you add it last, you're hosed :)
Since I know myself I also added a quick and dirty mouse based editor in the game itself, so I can modify levels on a whim. The game will live and die by its level design, so better make it as comfortable as possible.
Here's a shot of the current state. Showing the player, carrying a lamp.

What's out there? What works better for patients? What doesn't?
During our 30 years in business, we've seen significant advances in materials and designs—and we've been at the forefront of many of them.
Innovative designs in our Boundless Lab
These innovations have made traditional braces cooler—more high-tech, bionic, and lightweight, which allows for more natural movement. We're excited about exploring anything that pushes the boundaries of orthotic care.
Whether it's establishing 3-D printing protocols, testing print materials, integrating cutting-edge componentry, working with new thermoplastics or improving our new fabrication techniques, we're always at the forefront of what's new and improved and can mean better function for you.
Future with Orthotic Clinicians and Registered Technicians
The relationship between our orthotic Clinicians and Registered Technicians is a dynamic one. Developing newer methods of design and componetry can result in orthotics that allow for more natural movement.
Sharing knowledge with leading orthotic researchers can result in groundbreaking technology. One example is our research into the widely adopted Energy Storage and Return ankle-foot orthosis (AFO), where we set a new standard in orthotic gait analysis and evidence based practice.
of the New
Our staff and apprentices always go the extra mile in exploring new technologies, attending seminars and becoming leading speakers to pave the way for the future.

The Andrew Jackson Chapter of the Society of Sons of the American Revolution serves the area around the Hermitage, home of our seventh president. We meet six times per year in the Nashville area and sponsor or participate in patriotic and historic activities locally, in Tennessee, and nationally.
Pledge to the S.A.R.
We descendants of the heroes of the American Revolution, who by their sacrifices established the United States of America, reaffirm our faith in principles of liberty and our constitutional republic, and solemnly pledge ourselves to defend them against every foe.
Until we meet again, let us remember our obligation to our forefathers who gave us our constitution, the Bill of Rights, an independent Supreme Court and a nation of free men.
Tennessee Society Sons of the American Revolution
Andrew Jackson Chapter is part of TNSSAR District 5 encompassing Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Hickman, Houston, Humphries, Montgomery, Perry, Robertson, Stewart, Sumner, and Trousdale counties. Other District 5 chapters:
Colonel Anthony Bledsoe Chapter, Sumner County, Neighborly link
Thomas Kilgore Chapter, Robertson County,
Valentine Sevier Chapter Montgomery County
Christopher Strong Chapter, Dickson County.
Neighboring District 4 encompasses Bedford, Cannon, Coffee, Franklin, Giles, Grundy, Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Marshall, Maury, Moore, Rutherford, Van Buren, Warren, Wayne, Williamson, and Wilson counties. Our adjoining neighbor compatriots are

Lt. Andrew Crockett Chapter, Williamson County. Neighborly link
Historical Goals:
- We commemorate and provide memorials for the people and events of the American Revolution.
- We help preserve records relating to the events leading up to and during the American Revolution.
- The National SAR was a major force behind the construction of the National Archives in Washington DC and the collection of historic documents there.
- We support research and presentations (books, articles, and talks) related to the history and people of the period 1750-1800.
- The national SAR Magazine publishes authoritative descriptions of historical events in a quality magazine of archival value.
- The SAR Revolutionary War Graves Committee published information on some 54,000 grave sites of patriots in the NSSAR Revolutionary War Graves Register, published in 1993. More names have been collected and the entire 140,000 names and locations have now been published on CDROM.
- The Patriot Index Committee is publishing a CDROM with information on 732,000 patriots and their descendants.
Patriotic Goals
- We inspire the community with the principles on which our nation was founded.
- Many chapters and states have color guards that wear Revolutionary War uniforms and participate in civic and patriotic events and observances such as Fourth of July, Veterans Day, Armed Forces Day, Flag Day, Patriots Day (April 19), Bill of Rights Day, Yorktown Day, Constitution Day, and important battles of the Revolutionary War.
- Each year the SAR National Congress passes resolutions to stimulate personal and national action based on these principles.
- We maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom. In 1994 the NSSAR formed a Task Force to Preserve U. S. History to help focus public attention on profound problems in some proposed national standards for teaching pre-college U. S. History.
- We help carry out the promises expressed in the Preamble to the Constitution.
- We provide recognition for public service. The state societies and chapters of the NSSAR present thousands of awards each year to law enforcement officers, public safety officers, and other citizens who exemplify the best civic traditions of our nation. This includes young men and women who are leaders in our communities: high-ranking high school students of history, Eagle Scouts, JROTC and ROTC cadets and midshipmen.
- We honor, respect, and support veterans, especially those confined to residential and hospital facilities provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Educational Goals
- We sponsor contests — essay and oration — for high school students, based on historical and patriotic themes.
- We distribute history curriculum at no cost to the recipient. This curriculum was developed by the Houston Independent School System in cooperation with the Robert and Janice McNair Foundation and the American Heritage Education Foundation, Inc.
- We inform the community about the events and philosophical bases of the American Revolution and the Constitution. Color Guards in Revolutionary War uniforms participate in civic events and patriotic celebrations throughout the United States, providing pageantry, drama and a sense of the nation's history. Important events and persons of the Revolutionary period are portrayed for students and the public at large.
- The SAR Magazine provides a public record of the activities of the society and has numerous articles detailing the history of the initial and continuing struggle for independence.
We help people locate and evaluate genealogical records. Our state and chapter registrars have excellent resources, and the NSSAR library is a major national repository of genealogical information.

At this time last year we posted a blog about our favourite Veggie Spots in Old Montreal. Just one year later and even more veggie options have opened up in the neighbourhood and we are so excited about it!
Le Petit Dépanneur: this isn't new, but we missed them on our last blog post! Le Petit Dep has some lovely vegan meals, snacks and treats! They also have dairy alternatives for their lattes.
Invitation V: an all vegan bistro restaurant on the corner of St-Jacques and St-François. They have a lovely vegan brunch and their location has tons of space and a great ambience!
Kupfert and Kim: the newest vegan restaurant to move in to the neighbourhood. It's meatless and wheat-less: all plant based, and all gluten free food!
Do you have any other spots you would add to the list? Let us know!

These three words are the mantra of my training partner, the one person who's consistently hit the gym with me for the better part of ten years. I've witnessed him bringing this mantra to life in his career, through the loss of his mother, and of course, in the gym. His mental strength rivals that of his physicality, and it's clear that the former feeds the latter.
When I found a course in Mental Toughness offered for NASM-CPT continuing education credits, I jumped at the opportunity and dove into the materials. The course confirmed what I already knew – get your mind right, and your body will follow.
Mental Toughness, first and foremost, requires concentration, and more specifically, focus. The required aspects of focus that shape mental toughness are essential to athletic success, but are actually derived from research geared toward business. Each aspect has a practical application for the casual gym-goer as much as it does for a quarterback in the NFL.
Ability to focus on performance while experiencing off-the-court issues
When you step into a yoga class, under the bench, or head out for a run, leaving distractions out of your mental space will enable you to give your all to the task at hand. Focus on your own instructional cues, breathing, and mind-muscle connection – not the fight you had with your girlfriend, mortgage payments, or even a loved-one's illness.
Ability to maintain focus after both success and failure
There will be days when you walk out of the gym feeling like a god, and there will be days when you feel crappy for coming in under your PR or not being able to reach as far as you'd like in Pilates. What matters is the lens through which you view success and failure, and not allowing either to influence your next performance. This Nichiren Daishonin quote comes to mind: "Remain unswayed by slander nor praise."
Ability to recover from unexpected, uncontrollable, and unusual events
How do you recover from an injury? Are you sitting on the sofa feeling sorry for yourself, or modifying your routine to enable the best performance possible? If your gym closed for renovations, do you have a back-up plan, or would you take a vacation from fitness?
Ability to ignore typical distractions in the performance environment
Uh-oh…someone forgot her headphones. And the music drifting from the rickety gym speaker is akin to Muzak. The guy next to you in Bikram lays on his mat, sweating garlic and loudly blowing his nose while you're struggling to hold a pose. Focusing on your performance feeds the mental toughness necessary to minimize outside distractions.
Ability to focus on one's own performance instead of being concerned with an opponent's performance
The mentally tough athlete focuses solely on his or her own performance, and doesn't fall victim to the pitfalls of comparison. Your real competition is standing right in front of you – in the mirror.

INDIAN WELLS (California) (AFP) - World number one Rafael Nadal crushed Scotland's Andy Murray 6-1, 6-2 Sunday to win the Indian Wells ATP Masters series title. Nadal, the reigning Australian Open champion, defied difficult, windy conditions to capture the crown in the California desert for the second time, after triumphing here in 2007. As in the women's final that preceded it, the men's championship match was played in swirling winds that had both players scrambling. But Nadal, who started the tournament as the top seed for the first time - after Roger Federer came in as the number one the past five years - kept his focus to get the job done in one hour, 20 minutes. "I played a really good match with those conditions," Nadal said. "Probably Andy didn't play his best because of the conditions, but I think I played a really complete match, moving very well. I never stop the legs during all the match, and I think that was the key today." Murray, meanwhile, seemed unable to get to grips with the situation. "I think I accpeted a little bit better than him the conditions today," Nadal said, and Murray agreed. "Rafa dealt with it very well," Murray said. "He hit the ball cleaner and seemed to get himself in better positions than I did. "You don't necessarily want to be doing a whole lot of defending and running," Murray added. "You want to be in the best position possible to hit each ball, and I wasn't." Despite the defeat, world number four Murray leaves California closing in on world number three Novak Djokovic, whose title defence here ended with a quarter-final loss to American Andy Roddick. Murray beat Federer in the semis to book his place in the championship match, giving himself a shot at a third title of 2009 to go with those he won in Doha and Rotterdam. Since those successes Murray has been slowed by illness, withdrawing from the quarter-finals in Dubai and skipping Davis Cup. Under the circumstances, he said, reaching the final was a good result. "I don't feel like I'm that disappointed just now with how the week went, because I wasn't expecting to do that well," he said. "Today was not my best day, but I'll definitely get over it. I'm guessing I'm not going to play in those conditions each week." Nadal was playing in his third final in four starts this season, including his five-set Aussie Open triumph over Federer and a loss to Murray in Rotterdam. Nadal also lost to Murray in the semi-finals of the US Open last September, but the Spaniard said he wasn't out for revenge against the Briton. "Andy was the only big top player I didn't win against this year, so it's an important win for me. But the most important thing for me is to win the title, not the opponent." The 22-year-old Spaniard, who saved five match points in a fourth-round victory over Argentina's David Nalbandian to keep his title challenge alive, said adding the first Masters series title of the year to his Australian Open triumph made for a "dream start" to 2009. He now owns 13 elite Masters titles, and 33 ATP tour trophies - tied for 16th place on the Open Era list with Arthur Ashe and Mats Wilander. Russian fourth seed Vera Zvonareva won the women's title, denying former world number one Ana Ivanovic a second-straight Indian Wells crown with a 7-6 (7/5), 6-2 victory. Zvonareva claimed her ninth WTA title, and the biggest of her career and was projected to overtake American Venus Williams for the world number five ranking on Monday, up one spot from her current sixth. Ivanovic, the reigning French Open champion who was number one for 12 weeks last year, is now seventh in the world and remained in search of her first title of 2009.

Hiding in plain sight
There are thousands of biblical, religious, and classical place names (toponyms) in the United States, many more than any other nation. Names from the ancient world are found in all areas of the United States, not just the so-called Bible Belt: Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; Tekoa, Washington; Abilene, Texas; Moab, Utah; Samaria, Idaho; Canaan, Florida; Cincinnati, Ohio (named for Lucius Q. Cincinnatus, a Roman patrician); Mount Hebron, California; Bethel, Alaska and Athens, Georgia to mention just a few.
They have long been considered, mistakenly, as colonial-era remnants of European naming-as-claiming. If that were the case, why are there not more of them in the other Americas: South America, Central America or Canada?
In fact, most U.S. biblical and classical names place names were conferred in the nineteenth-century, a period when the United States tripled in area and increased in population eightfold. Classical and biblical names correlate with the violent dislocation of Natives and acquisition of their territories; increasing national investments in slavery and concomitant sectionalism leading up to the Civil War; and a growing industrialized and modernized international identity.
Biblical toponyms exemplify "scripturalizing," the processes by which human construct their worlds using canonical terms and texts. [1] From Ophir, California to Newark (New Ark), New Jersey, biblical names help shore up the construction of human hierarchies.
Place names are not innocent. Hiding in plain sight, classical and biblical names illuminate diverse examples by which white supremacy, inequalities, and other power dynamics can be seen.

This blog is the project and product of R.C. Rodman, who wonders at the use and politics of scripture in the making of U.S. modernities, from Stone Cold Steve Austin's "I'll 3:16 your ass!," to place naming, to the Second Amendment.

Atlantic City is an island city on the shore of New Jersey, surrounded by swamplands and backed by the Atlantic Ocean to the south. Although the city has some gorgeous scenery and prime real estate, the area is known for being the home of the Miss America pageant, and was the inspiration behind the game Monopoly. For dog lovers, when you pass go with Fido, you'll see more than just rental and real estate properties, but lots of great public parks and a dog-friendly boardwalk.
Uptown Park is the most known park, thanks to its well-developed area and large space with recreational fields. There's a paved walking trail that extends .4 miles around the park. Open space is grassy, with scattered trees for shade, benches for sitting, and water fountains to refresh after a long walk.
The most popular feature of the city is the boardwalk that extends from the east side of the area to the west, with over 5 miles of walking area. The boardwalk looks over the ocean and has lights, benches, and lots of shops along the path. The boardwalk is dog-friendly to leashed pups, but owners still need to bring water and clean-up bags along the way.
Dog owners and walkers will fall in love with Atlantic City, not for its surrounding views, but thanks to its single animal hospital and numerous public parks available, like Brigantine Boulevard Playground and Melrose Park.

September 12 Events
September 10 - October 30, Winston Wachter
Winston Wächter Fine Art Seattle is pleased to announce our fifth solo exhibition with painter Tracy Rocca. The inspiration for this body of work comes from Rocca's extensive travels through the Rocky Mountains with her family – specifically Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Tetons and Glacier. The compositions are all based on Rocca's photographs and memories from these family adventures. From each photographic reference point, Rocca then strips away the instantly recognizable details of the landscape in an attempt to present the viewer with a small sense of what it might feel like to be at the foot of the Tetons, or to stand in awe in a deep glacial valley. Rocca's ethereal, abstract paintings are carefully built up over time to achieve their characteristic luminosity and unique sense of depth. Her painting process is slow and methodical, using layers of oil and pigment to delicately build and blur the paint into soft transitions of color and glowing light. Her blurred images, which are rooted in landscape, seek to soften our attention and create a space where the mind can rest. Through her dreamy compositions, Rocca draws the viewer in to a meditative focus on nature.
Tracy Rocca's work has been exhibited throughout the United States and is included in the United States Embassies Collection, the Microsoft Art Collection, the Ritz Carlton and the University of New Mexico Collection.

South Lake Union Farmer's Market 2019
Pike Place Market was founded on August 17, 1907 to provide Seattle citizens direct access to local producers. That first day, farmers arrived with wagons chock full of produce and a grand tradition in public markets was born. Today, we are proud to continue the Meet the Producer tradition, with Washington farmers selling their fresh produce and specialty farm products to shoppers year round. This summer, join us at our South Lake Union farmers markets at the Van Vorst Plaza each Thursday this summer and participate in a century-old tradition!

- Cloth + Stone Clip Dot Button Down
Cloth + Stone always uses the softest fabrics and makes seemingly effortless styles. Love the the dot details on this cotton button down shirt.
- Sezane Nina Courts
Two of my favorite, most enduring shoes are also from Sezane. The almond toe isn't too sharp or round. This comes in a few colors, but really like the elegant, whimsical look.
- Maeve Dorothy Button Down Blouse
Maeve has a lot of cute styles, but this one caught my eye as a simple, structured top that could pair well with skirts or pants.
- Uptown Lace Column Dress
Love the bow detail and lace illusion of this dress. If I could find an occasion to wear this...
- Aritzia Wilfred Terre Dress
I first saw this in store. If you're looking for a closet staple skirt, this one comes in several colors and beautiful pleats all around.
- Akori Teapot Crossbody Purse
I discovered this while window shopping in Seattle last weekend. I couldn't believe a teapot purse actually existed! A bit on the pricey end, but very cute.

It has already been done there, at http://www.krysalis.org/ruper/ . The developers of Ruper in the meantime have become Apache committers (two for Gump and one is coming in with JUDDI). The issue here is that Maven already has some code for this, and http://greebo.sourceforge.net/ is partecipating too. If you want to call it "Incubating Ruper and have others join" it's ok for me, as my initial idea is to use Ruper as a starting codebase, and have others add stuff, but I didn't want to make this a prerequisite for a Repo project. > If this goes through, how is this not the start of the incubator > becoming a 'sandbox' for ASF committers?

On 28th March the Government introduced a new secure 12 sided pound coin, this was to reduce the costs of counterfeits to the taxpayers and businesses. It is being replaced after 30 long years of excellent service.
At midnight on Sunday 15th October shops and businesses will no longer accept the round pound and should not give these out as change.
Your pound coins will not become worthless however and you will still be able to deposit them into your bank account, if you have any questions you should contact your bank or building society.

Take the long weekend off.
It's the long weekend! The dreaded long weekend.
You see, for people with noisy minds, it's hard to shut them off. In fact, they don't shut off. Brains don't shut off. Which is a good thing, in the grand scheme of staying alive, but not great if you're the kind of person who listens to all of the constant thoughts. And if you're reading this blog, I assume you are that kind of person.

I was always told my fear of flying was irrational. Do you know the chances of a plane crashing? Like, a million to one. You're crazy for having that fear and you shouldn't have it. Logically I agreed with them. It was a stupid fear and I was stupid for having it. I felt embarrassed for having such a non-real fear. But I still had it.

Lake Tahoe ski resorts report over 1 foot of fresh powder; more in the forecast
24 HOUR SNOW TOTALSHeavenly Mountain Resort: 18 inchesKirkwood Mountain Resort: 16 inchesSierra-at-Tahoe: 15 inchesAll snow totals self reported by resorts Thursday morning.
It's beginning to look like winter at Lake Tahoe where South Shore ski resorts are reporting more than 1 foot of fresh snow in the past 24 hours.
And a couple more inches are in the forecast for Thursday.
With snow showers dissipating as the morning progresses, stronger showers are expected to return Thursday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. Another 3 to 7 inches could accumulate, with up to 1 foot of new snow above 7,000 feet.
Snow on the road: 10 safe driving tips for navigating Lake Tahoe's roads
In South Lake Tahoe, NWS says there is an 80 percent chance of precipitation Thursday, which will increase to 90 percent in the evening.
A winter weather advisory remains in effect for the Lake Tahoe region until 4 a.m. Friday. NWS advised motorists to plan on difficult travel conditions. Chain controls were in effect on Sierra highways Thursday morning. Damage to trees and power lines is possible.
Heavenly Mountain Resort reported 18 inches of new snow Thursday morning, while Kirkwood Mountain Resort reported 16 inches and Sierra-at-Tahoe reported 15 inches of new snow in the past 24 hours.
These current storms follow one at the end of last week that delivered some of the first measurable snow at lake level and more than half a foot of snow at South Shore ski resorts.
As Wednesday's storm rolled into the region it whipped up waves on Lake Tahoe. A handful of surfers jumped on the opportunity to ride some winter waves before the snow started falling.

If you're currently home colouring, or thinking about it, chances are you have coloured your hair before. Colouring hair which has been coloured previously adds a few more factors into the mix which can affect your colour result.
As always, knowledge is power and we're here to help you understand the colour-on-top-of-colour situation and to help you colour with confidence in your home salon!
Maintaining Color
First rule of at-home color maintenance? Regrowth only! If you've found your shade and just want to keep it up, make sure that touchups stay strictly to the roots. Overlapping onto previously colored hair can leave you with a darker, duller colour from repeated, unnecessary colouring. If you want to boost your colour in the lengths of your hair when you do your roots, save some of your colour mixture and massage the colour through the rest of your hair for a maximum of ten minutes while of your colour processing time before rinsing.
Going Darker
If you're feeling ready for a darker colour, we suggest taking is slow and steady and to darken it gradually in stages. That way you can prevent from going too dark, which is difficult to correct and can cause damage when re-lightening. We recommend darkening your hair one shade lighter than your goal color and if it's still too light, then you can go a little bit darker. Remember: dying hair darker is much easier on your hair health than going lighter. Slow and steady wins the race.
Going Lighter
Going lighter can be a trickier transition than going darker, since the newly deposited hair colour is absorbed by hair follicles which have previously deposited darker colour. If you have been colouring your hair with permanent hair colour between levels 1-5, these colour levels can build-up and be very difficult to shift. It's not always as simple as choosing a new lighter colour, popping the colour on and achieving textbook lighter colour results. We use a 20 vol developer which can lighten up to two colour levels, but our colour and developer can not 'lift other hair color.
The most common colouring issue which can result in missing colour goals happens when a lighter permanent colour is used on hair which has previously been coloured a darker colour. If you coloured your hair a darker colour repeatedly this can result in colour-build up which can be very difficult to shift. The older, darker pigments can 'block' the new lighter colour pigments, causing you to miss your hair colour target.
Darker colours between levels 1-5 can lock on to the hair follicle and a lighter colour with a 20 vol developer such as ours will not be able to shift this colour to give you the lighter result that you are after.
If you have darker permanently coloured hair you may need to use a color removal product to shift the existing darker pigments. You can use at-home colour stripping products or head to your salon for professional colour removal. A colour removal process will remove the darker locked-in pigments which are getting in the way of your lighter colour target. When the permanent colour pigments have been removed, you can then achieve the lighter colour option and maintain the colour easily at home.

ARUSHA, Tanzania � A U.N. tribunal convicted a former Rwandan military chaplain yesterday of attempted rape and genocide for crimes that included killing people who had sought refuge in a seminary. The three-judge panel sentenced Emmanuel Rukundo to 25 years in prison.
There was clear evidence that Rukundo, 50, directed the killings of Tutsi civilians in the central Rwanda area of Gitarama during the 1994 genocide, said Judge Joseph Asoka Nihal de Silva.
Rukundo was found to have played an integral role on at least four occasions in the abduction and killing of Tutsi refugees from the St. Leon Minor Seminary in Gitarama, and to have attempted to rape a Tutsi woman at the seminary, the judges said.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia � Canada�s government announced legislation yesterday that would impose mandatory minimum jail time for serious drug crimes in response to a surge in gang-related violence.
The proposed changes include a mandatory 2-year sentence for dealing cocaine, heroin or methamphetamines to youths and a 2-year mandatory sentence for running large-scale marijuana operations.
�If you want to bring drugs into this country you are going to jail,� said Justice Minister Rob Nicholson.

White Chocolate Dipped Peppermint Chocolate Cookies
These White Chocolate Dipped Peppermint Chocolate Cookies are dreamy to say the least! I made a white version a few years ago and wanted to share a chocolate version also, and finally here there are!
Chocolate Cookies with Festive Peppermint Flavor
After 3 batches of these I finally found the perfect ratio of ingredients with a rich chocolate flavor, just enough peppermint, and a deliciously chewy texture.
I started out with a recipe that I found on Food Network then changed it until they were perfect for my taste. I reduced the butter by 1/4 cup because several people were saying in the comments that their cookies just spread into one – which is likely due to a bit too much butter.
With the first batch I used Dutch processed cocoa like the recipe calls for but my cookies came out super thin so I switched to regular cocoa powder.
I also found that 3/4 cup cocoa wasn't enough chocolate flavor so I upped it by 1/4 cup then cut back on the flour.
Now they've got well pronounced chocolate flavor which pairs well with the white chocolate coating. Here I also replaced some of the granulated sugar with brown for a chewier cookie.
And last but not least I wanted a white chocolate dipped peppermint cookie so I replaced 1 tsp of the vanilla with peppermint extract, and finished them off with a generous dose of white chocolate (think cookies and cream), then sprinkled them with some pretty peppermint bits.
These are Christmas + chocolate perfection! Another must-try cookie to add to the holiday baking list!
Ingredients Needed for These Cookies
- All-purpose flour
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Unsalted butter
- Granulated sugar and brown sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract and peppermint extract
- White chocolate
- Peppermint bits
Scroll below for full printable recipe.
How to Make Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a stand mixer cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar.
- Mix in eggs one at a time then blend in vanilla extract and peppermint extract.
- Add in flour mixture and mix just until combined.
- Scoop dough out by a rounded tablespoon and shape into balls.
- Space on cookies sheets 2-inches apart. Flatten cookies slightly.
- Bake one sheet at a time in preheated oven about 8 minutes.
- Let cool cookies cool.
- Melt white chocolate.
- Dip cooled cookies in white chocolate and sprinkle with peppermint bits. Chill to set.

Dear Kids,
Today had a rough start for me. I woke up later than usual from that coma-like sleep that comes from many interruptions in the early hours. I awoke from a dream that had unpleasant emotional consequences. I was doing my best to greet you with a happy face and hugs. We got breakfast on the table (cereal) without incident and I sat down at my computer to research a recipe for lunch before making my own breakfast. Or water. Or coffee.
I was startled by a very sad screech as you, Romeo, in an attempt to drink your cereal, dumped the entire bowl onto your pajamas, your chair, the table and the floor. You were crying loudly because you were wet and the milk was cold and you had lost your "choca milk" as you guys were enjoying a rare sweet cereal treat for breakfast. I felt the anger in me that always boils just beneath the surface begin to bubble up.
I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth and feigned sympathy as I changed your pajamas and hugged you, then got you a fresh bowl of cereal, to be eaten in the high chair this time as at least 1/3 of the dining room was covered in milk/cereal spatter. Our dog, who's been off grains for several months due to inflammatory joint problems, happily ate the grain-filled cereal off the floor. I had to move the table to the other side of the room to even begin to get all of the splattered milk that was just everywhere. I was so angry that I felt my familiar snippy irritability begin to take over. You three were very cooperative. Melody fetching paper towels and cleaning solution, helping me move the table and clean up the mess. When it was finally done, and the three of you had finished your breakfast, I commanded you to leave me alone for 20 minutes so I could eat my breakfast in peace before I dealt with one. more. thing.
I sat down with my food and posted about the incident on Facebook, which gives me some outlet for my aggravation at times. I finished off the post with a reference to the fact that I still needed to post my "30 days of Thanksgiving" post for the day and was hoping that would give me perspective. And boy did I need some perspective.
While I was eating, you three were in the living room preparing a "show" to cheer me up. I barked once for you to turn the music down to a more tolerable level. I was having trouble looking forward to your amateur singing and dancing show that was supposed to fix my morning. But I told myself it wasn't all about me and that I needed to engage with you three in a more positive way. We needed this day to have a different tone than what it started with. So I came in and sat down with my precious coffee to see what you had up your collective sleeve.
And that is where God met me this morning.
Melody-you danced and sang to what you knew was one of my favorite songs of all time. "What Do I Know of Holy." And while I listened to those beautiful words of discovery and surrender and watched your lovely face as you allowed true emotion to wash over you as you danced and sang and interacted, I felt my emotions stirring within me. I teared up as I watched you. You have chosen to follow Jesus for yourself, and I have not fully processed just how thankful I am for that. I am watching you blossom into a young woman of faith. Of principle and of love. And as your love for Jesus and your love for your broken mama were written all over your face this morning, I felt so thankful that you are in my life. And that I have the privilege of discipling you and watching you grow. My heart was bursting with gratitude.
Jubilee-you dance and sang to "Bubbly." A giggly, happy, sweet song about happy feelings. Your face was alight with the joy of showing me how you could dance and sing. As always, your sweet face just made me smile. And I was so grateful for your freedom. Your happiness. Your worry-free abandon. Even in the face of a cranky mommy who almost cried over spilled milk. Your energy and joy is contagious. And I am so thankful for your smile and your very happy happiness.
Romeo-I am still learning about your little personality. At the moment, you just want to do allthethings your sisters do. And so in the song you three did as a group, you sang and danced your little heart out. All off-key. All off-rhythm, but with gusto and fervor and dimples. And it made me giggle. Because you are so darn cute. And so darn indignant about your littleness. And I just want to smush your little cheeks and hug you all day. And my mama-heart needed to feel that this morning, in the midst of all the crankiness. And so I am thankful for your current littleness and cuteness and fiery-ness. Little third child we had never really thought to hope for in the midst of infertility and miscarriage and ugly pregnancies. You bless our home with a new brand of intensity. And I am so thankful that God knew we needed you.
As you three wrapped up your performance with yet another of my favorite songs, "Beautiful Things" by Gungor, I could not contain my tears of joy and gratitude. I was looking for one thing I was thankful for this morning. Instead, I came to a place where it felt like all that I am thankful for is too much to confine to a mere 30 days of Thanksgiving. I am thankful that God makes beautiful things. I am thankful that you three are a part of the beauty He has made from me. I am thankful for toddler huggles, pre-school giggles and tween drama. I am thankful that God looked inside of me and saw what He deemed the necessary ingredients for the woman who would be your mama. I am thankful that He never stops working in me, changing me and healing my brokenness in ways that bring glory to Him and even more beauty into my life. I am thankful for my history. Thankful for my story up to now. I am thankful for this life, right now in this moment.
Because this is the moment. And I am aware enough of it to stop and savor it. We are making memories right now in these all-too-brief years of spilled cereal, living room performances, poopy diapers, schoolwork, morning cartoon snuggles, lice infestations, homemade pizza and movie nights and toddler meltdowns. In the midst of all the chaos and love and imperfection, we are making the memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. As one of our favorite people likes to say, "These are the good 'ole days." And my thankfulness today can be summed up in this one sentence.
I am thankful that my God sees all and knows all and above all, knows exactly what I need in this life down to the moment.
And even on the days when I don't see it, He says I'm worth it. And that in a moment of music and dancing and laughter, a "bad day" can be turned into a day of thanksgiving by a simple choice to look for the joy.

MALTA – The town Assessor's Office recently completed the 2017 Reassessment Project that began in 2016.
Property reassessment notices were mailed March 31. The goal of the project is to maintain fair and equitable assessments based on market conditions, according to Supervisor Vincent R. DeLucia.
The town Assessor is responsible for the determination of each parcel's assessment and all questions concerning valuations should be directed to the Town Assessor's Office at (518) 899-2584, or [email protected]. DeLucia asked property owners to keep in mind that state assessment regulations prohibit elected officials, such as Town Board members, from attempting to influence assessment procedures.
Informal reviews can be scheduled with the Assessor through Wednesday, April 19. The purpose of the informal review is to present any additional information to the assessor. That information will be considered in determining if a change is warranted.
For more information about the project, including individual property assessments, sales and informal review applications, go to http://townofmalta.sdgnys.com/search.aspx.
New York State Real Property Tax Law provides a formal process for an additional step in a property owner's right to challenge following an informal hearing. That step is provided on Tuesday, May 23 (Grievance Day), when a property owner can protest their assessment before an independent grievance board comprised of residents from the town.
A grievance application must be submitted to the grievance board by close of business on that date. Call (518) 899-2584 to schedule an appointment and complete the brief grievance application. The Board of Assessment Review will hear your complaints, review all applications, make a determination and follow-up by providing the applicant with their decision.

Government has clear way forward to remove discrimination against LGBTIQ people in schools/
Federal laws should be amended to protect students and staff from discrimination, the Human Rights Law Centre said today in its submission to the Senate committee reviewing laws that allow faith-based schools to discriminate against LGBTIQ people.
Anna Brown, Co-Chair of the Equality Campaign and Director of Legal Advocacy with the Human Rights Law Centre, said it's time for parliament to remove these outdated laws.
"Broad exemptions in our discrimination laws allow religious schools to kick out children and fire teachers simply because of who they are. Kids should be focused on classes and their homework, not living in fear of mistreatment. Teachers should be able to do their job without having to hide who they are," said Ms Brown.
"There is a clear way forward. Simple changes to remove these exemptions will allow students and workers to feel safe and welcome at schools across Australia. With more than 1 in 3 students attending these schools and thousands of jobs at stake, this reform will have an incredibly positive impact on our community," said Ms Brown.
Many religious schools already provide inclusive and supportive environments for staff and students. The committee however heard evidence from multiple people about the harm these laws caused to the health and well-being of students and teachers.
"Religious schools have nothing to fear and everything to gain from sending a clear message to prospective students and families that they are inclusive and welcoming places of learning. Schools will be able to maintain their religious ethos but will no longer be legally permitted to discriminate against their staff and students."
"Australians understand this is simple. Kids shouldn't be turned away for who they are. Teachers should be confident when they walk through the school gates that that they are accepted."
"The clock is ticking. The Prime Minister has already committed to removing discrimination against kids in school, and families and schools deserve certainty. The time to do it is now," said Ms Brown.

I don't know how many photo, slide show, video utilities are available for Mac OS X, but we've reviewed the good ones.
Except for PulpMotion. Not since ComicLife have I had this much fun with photos on my Mac. Seriously.
There's all kinds of nifty neato Mac utilities that let you play fun and games with your digital photos from iLife, music from iTunes.
Slide shows? There must be a dozen ways to create them on the Mac, even turn them into classy looking videos, drop them into iDVD and create a family DVD of photos to movies.
We've reviewed some of the best Mac photo to movie tools ever, including two of my favorites, Boinx FotoMagico, and PhotoToMovie. Both are top notch, nearly professional level and easy as sinning with a sex cam.
Oh, sorry. SexCam was the only word that would fit into the headline space and attract attention at the same time. Isn't that what headlines are supposed to do?
PulpMotion is one of those very slick Mac utilities that does more than you suspect, yet you wonder why someone didn't figure out how to do it before now.
Do what? The brand new PulpMotion creates animation from your digital photos, and your iTunes music, and your movies, even from your iSight camera.
To get started, fire up PulpMotion and select a theme. There's a couple dozen from which to choose (how's my grammar so far? I'm trying to cut down on ending sentences with a preposition. That's what grammar is for).
The themes are gaudy, vibrant, colorful, non-pastel pretty, and designed to evoke a response. If you've seen the themes in Sandvox, you've seen the same in PulpMotion.
The second step is simple, too. Drag your media (photos, movies, music, whatever) right onto the PulpMotion animation area timeline and arrange accordingly. This part works like iMovie.
Yep, there's a "media viewer" just like you find in iPhoto and iMovie and it all works about the same way. Click Preview and enjoy what you created. How's that for simple?
OK, it's not quite that simple, but I have yet to read the Help files so how hard can it be?
What you create are streaming animations of video and photos with a music or sound background (including pieces of video recorded from your iSight camera, if you choose).
If you've seen those professional looking themes in iMovie then you have an idea of what you can do—only more.
This is really more of a fancy show than just a pretty movie.
Once you're done creating an animated video, photo masterpiece, export your finished product to an iPod, to iWeb, to GarageBand (to add more tracks of audio, music, whatever), even to Final Cut Express or Pro.
PulpMotion even creates a screensaver of your own creation.
Tools are simple and straightforward. Slider bars let you adjust the speed of the photos or movies, change duration, add the Ken Burns moving-photo-look, change the text color.
Whoops. Did I forget to mention text? Yes, you can add onscreen text to the whole animation process. The right side of the screen is reserved for Media—audio, photos, video, and iSight screen capture (or any DV camera plugged in to your Mac via Firewire).
It's been awhile since I've had so much fun with a brand new Mac media utility. As usual, it's try before you buy so be willing to try. The only problem I've seen with this version is the screen real estate needed. The bigger the better.
PulpMotion is from Aquafadas, the same folks who develop iDive for the Mac. Click Here for a look at the details, then Click Here for the demo video.
Let's try something different. Download the demo version and try it out. It won't take long for you to figure out all the cool things you can do. Then, drop us a note with your first impression in the Comment section below.

This Boston Dynamics Designed Robot Is One Step Closer To Learning Karate
In science fiction it's a rather well established fact that robots and artificial intelligence are going to take over the world and either wipe us off the face of the Earth or enslave us and use us for some nefarious purposes. Those evil bastards. And now, as you can see in this video, they can do karate, or at least a damn fine impression of the crane technique from Karate Kid. The balance is impressive. And terrifying. But no robot will ever replace Ralph Macchio.
Just a heads up, there's a super shrill, obnoxious mechanical whine in the background of this footage, so you might want to watch it with the sound off, or at least pre-turn it down. This guy is not particularly stealthy, at least not yet, and isn't going to be sneaking up on anyone anytime soon.

Ep. 26 Play and Be Awesome with Cailin Robinson of Live Pretty Well
Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday!
On the podcast today is Cailin Robinson - one of the kindest and most genuine people I've met since starting this podcast! Cailin is a playologist, a champion for fun and play, a relentless optimist, and a firm believer that we have to play to be well and our best selves. Through her work, Cailin's aim is to show others how to be light with their lives, have fun, and play!
On today's episode we chat all about play - what it means to play, why play is important, how you can infuse more play into your life today, reconnecting with your playful spirit as an adult, play personality types, and where the inspiration for Live Pretty Well came from. We also chat about Cailin's self-love, self-compassion, and joy journey, how her work has made a difference in her life, what she's learned about herself reconnecting to fun and play, the role of gratitude in her life, and so much more.
I had the best time connecting with Cailin - and I felt a connection to her right away.
So, where did this emphasis on play and fun begin?
Cailin has never strayed too far from play. Her undergraduate degree is in Art Education, and she taught art for several years. Fast forward to a few years of marriage, a cross-country move, and a baby girl - Nora shares with us just how much having her daughter has changed her life and reignited play in her life. Play became front and center, and so did the enjoyment of creating. She never wanted her daughter to ask permission to create - so they created a "creativity corner" in their home. That corner served Cailin and her husband Jason just as much as it served their daughter Nora - and it's almost as if a lightbulb went off in Cailin's head. She became really curious about the role of play in our lives as an adult, and shortly after Live Pretty Well was born.
Cailin's job is to coach you in finding out what play means to you, and to collaborate to create a game plan to integrate fun back into our busy lives. Once you work with Cailin, play becomes a habit and second nature, just like brushing our teeth.
Cailin explains on today's episode that as adults our lives are full of responsibility, endless to-do lists, and very little room for fun. (Can you see now why I absolutely had to have Cailin on the podcast to chat about fun and play!? This totally rings true for me as to why I started Seek The Joy!) Cailin is all about collaborating with adults to bring play, fun, and laughter back into our lives, and help us make small shifts that add up to significant changes.
She helps people uncover their play personality type, shake things up, and create a plan that works. Cailin is a firm believer that play makes us better humans, and she's all about helping us remember the things we loved as kids that brought us joy and play.
It's about bringing us back to feeling deeply connected to those we love, having more compassion, and really enjoying our lives.
So, what are some of the benefits of infusing more play into our lives?
- Sustained optimism - positive mental and emotional health.
- Physical health - decreased stress, increased immunity, and increased brain function.
- Heartfelt connection with others
Um... I'm in!
On top of chatting ALL about play (I had so many questions guys), it was great to hear Cailin talk about what it means for her to live authentically, and how she keeps herself grounded - even amongst big life changes, like her recent move from San Diego to Monterey!
Today's episode is so so good, I know you guys are going to enjoy it!

Hello #kidmin friends! School is over, pools are open, vacations have begun. That must mean only one thing, sweet summertime!
Now, for those of you not as blessed to be connected and serving in a kidmin environment, you are missing out on so much. First of all, the stories kids have to share. Oh you know what stories I'm talking about too! The ones you would never want leaked into public knowledge!!!! Yeah, well guess what, we have them too and it's something you can laugh about later on! Secondly, it's VBS season!
That's right, Vacation Bible School SEASON! It's not anything like the 4 seasons we experience on a yearly basis and it's anything but a vacation for the VBS Director but, it is an incredible time for the church to come together and outreach a whole community! Sounds fun right?!?!?!?!?!? Ask your VBS Director how you might could plug in! I guarantee you that there is a special place just for you.
Another fun thing about sweet summertime is summer camp! You know, when you take a bunch of kids off to some remote location in the woods and leave them there with no means of communicating to mommy and daddy every night??? HAHAHAHA That doesn't sound like summer camp but rather like summer detention. Summer camp is so much fun and helps provide an out of the box experience for kids to see God at work in their lives away from church and away from home.
How about "Promotion Sunday"? It's that one Sunday of the year where you've got leaders and parents all teared up that Johnny and Sue are moving on to another class or ministry. I've got one of those "Johnny's" myself transitioning out of our kidmin environment into the student ministry environment! Scary for all parties involved.
Finally, back to school! The day and week all parents are looking forward to come late July. Kids are going crazy, food bill has tripled in just a short time and you don't have to hear "I'm bored" until the following summer.
Parents, take advantage of summer with your kids. Enjoy them. It's the last summer they'll have at that age. Kidmin leaders, take a deep breath. We have no offseason and yet, this is definitely the time to remind yourself that we are not running the 40 yard dash to September. Make memories with your kids, they'll be moving to student ministry soon enough!

When startups are launching, they can be so overwhelmed that they often overlook or delay devising a strategy to protect their intellectual property (IP) - until they are forced to. We encourage our startup clients to plan their IP strategy early, as ownership and enforceability of IP is crucial for their competitive advantage and for future fundraising and exits.
Attorney Tripp Stroud is the founder of Trifecta General Counsel, a law firm working with tech companies on data security, cloud technology, and SaaS contracting. He recently sat down with Value Prop Shop to discuss the basics of IP law as it pertains to tech startups.
As early as the "idea" stage, we advise entrepreneurs to start thinking about protecting their IP. How do you suggest they begin?
STROUD: An entrepreneur can start by answering this question: "What makes my idea special?"
1. Am I marketing a unique brand?
2. Is my product based on proprietary algorithms or formulas?
3. Do I have unique methodologies that are necessary for my product or services?
VPS: To start, can you provide the most basic definition of the four categories of IP law?
STROUD: The ways a startup can protect their IP ranges from simply "declaring" ownership to embarking on a 5-year path with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Here's a simple way to understand the four categories:
1. Trademarks
A trademark captures the essence of your brand. It defines your identity in the marketplace. It can be a name, a logo, a brand, or any insignia. A great example is "Coke." Just the name or logo instantly equate to the soft drink Coca Cola.
2. Copyright
Copyright protects original works of authorship - including software code. The creator owns the rights as well as a time-limited right of distributing the creation. Examples include visual or auditory content like books, art, and songs.
3. Trade Secrets
Trade secrets protect your company's processes and workflows. Trade secrets are not time limited, and retain their protected status for as long as they remain a secret. Examples include the algorithms, formulas, and methodologies necessary for your product to function or for your services to be rendered. Software code can also be a trade secret.
4. Patents
There are two types of patents, and the most basic distinction is that utility patents protect "function," and design patents protect "appearance."
VPS: How should startups think about devising a sustainable strategy to protect their IP?
STROUD: A solid IP strategy needs to factor in the product type, early guardrails, and the company's long term goals.
1. Trademarks
Company type: Trademarking is particularly important for consumer facing startups. Their goal is for consumers to instantly identify the product name or insignia, so brand protection is essential.
Getting started: Simply indicating their claim with a trademark mark on any outward-facing materials is how they can get started. Trademarks are defined by use-in-commerce, so the earlier they begin, the better. Startups should also do research to identify if other companies in their specific market or related fields are using the same or similar name/logo/branding. The more novel and differentiated the mark, the better (again, think about what "Coke" means for soft drinks).
Longer term strategy: Startups typically rebrand and pivot during their initial years, so registering for a trademark can be a costly undertaking, if done too early. By demonstrating that they were the first to use it, they can still win trademark rights. Ultimately, a startup registers their trademark with the USPTO and/or international governments.
2. Copyright
Company type: Copyright is relevant to all startups. For software companies, copyright protection's role in IP protection has changed as the industry has shifted to cloud-based code. Cloud-based code is not typically revealed or distributed to users, making it easier to protect code as a trade secret in addition to copyrighted materials. Client deliverables created with technology, such as reports and graphics, can and should be copyright protected.
Getting started: Again, a startup can indicate copyright claims by placing a copyright mark on original works. It is time-limited, but the mark indicates right to ownership and distribution.
Long term strategy: Legal contracts are typically how businesses, including software companies, enforce copyright. Internal agreements, such as Assignment of Property Rights, should be executed with employees and vendors. With customers, licensing or service agreements should include terms to protect your software or deliverables from being copied or modified. There is no required filing with the government for this type of IP protection.
3. Trade Secrets
Company type: Virtually every company has trade secrets. These are methodologies, business practices, and formulas used to create their product or services. For modern, cloud-based software companies, trade secret protection is very important. Software code contains algorithms, formulas, and logic – all of which are proprietary.
Getting started: Even a NewCo with just two cofounders should implement contractual agreements to protect IP. If one of these two people leaves, for example, protections should be in place to ensure that the IP belongs to the company and not the individual. Additionally, nondisclosure agreements protect startups as early as the "idea" stage during conversations with outside parties. Employee and contractor Inventions Agreements ensure that company IP is protected, as well. Finally, customer contract should include terms that prevent reverse engineering of a startup's product or methodologies.
Long term strategy: Like copyright, there is no filing with the government for trade secrets. But ongoing contract-based protection of IP is crucial for future success - including valuations, investor negotiations, acquisitions, and IPOs.
4. Patents
Company type: To keep it simple, I'll say that that software is typically not patentable because of difficulty meeting the uniqueness requirement. Patents are awarded for products with a unique function (e.g. drugs) or for products that have a unique "look" or design.
Getting started: The path to patents can be long, complicated, and costly, and it usually requires the expertise of a patent attorney. A Prior Art Search identifies what similar products might already exist. Next, a Freedom to Operate (FTO) analysis rules out any pending or existing patents that a new product could potentially infringe upon.
Long term strategy: To determine which USPTO patent path to take, a startup should assess how crucial speed to market is for their business. This is typically driven by urgency around fundraising or deterring competitors. Filing for a provisional patent, as opposed to the non-provisional patent, allows a startup to begin the "patent–pending" process while securing more time to complete their product development and research. Once either filing process begins, the path can be anywhere from 18 months to 5 years.
