Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes
Learn how to make delicious and creamy mashed potatoes in the crock pot with this delicious Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes recipe. It only takes a few minutes to prep, and it's always a crowd favorite. :)
Sometimes I wonder if I love my slow cooker a little too much.
Well, actually I have three of them, since I seem to have developed a love of slow cooker entertaining with all three going at once. And I love all of them equally very very much, just as you do with
children, ahem, slow cookers.
Seriously, though, I am totally that sentimental cook who often has a little "moment" with my slow cooker. Especially when I come home to a house that smells so yummy after being gone all day, and then I peer through the glass lid past the condensation, and see that my food has somehow already been prepared for me?! I know the technology is nothing new, but I have to say, it feels just a tiny bit like magic. And if I think about all of the past generations — or more importantly, the millions of people around the world today — who don't have access to this little modern miracle? Well, it actually very genuinely makes me thankful for the gift of slow cooked food. And it makes me want to slow down and make the most of those extra moments I don't have to stand in front of a stove cooking my food (like, you know, that big holiday that's just around the corner).
And when delicious, creamy, couldn't-be-easier-to-make slow cooker mashed potatoes like these ones are involved, it makes me want to dive IN.
Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes Recipe | 1-Minute Video
Oh man, slow cooker mashed potatoes seem to be "the thing" this year. Just in the past few weeks since I photographed these, I have seen no less than five more recipes for them pop up on Pinterest! There's a good reason for the buzz, though. These slow cooker mashed potatoes are perfection!!!
You can customize them just about however you'd like. But leave the basics to your slow cooker, and I promise it won't let you down. Here's how to make 'em:
Begin by chopping up your potatoes and tossing them in the slow cooker. I'm a big fan of using Yukon gold potatoes for the ultimate in buttery, creamy, mashed potato deliciousness. Add some chicken or vegetable broth, about 4 tablespoons of butter (cut into small pieces), and a few cloves of minced garlic on top. Then cover it and let your slow cooker work its magic for about 4 hours on high heat.
Then mash it all up. You can either do this by hand with a potato mixer, or use a handheld electric mixer. I prefer mine to be slightly chunky, so I do it by hand. (Also, heads up, if you use the electric mixer be very careful not to over-beat the potatoes.)
Stir in some Greek yogurt (or sour cream), salt and pepper.
And voila! Your perfect mashed potatoes are ready to go!
Feel free to stir in or top them with any of your other favorite mix-ins. For example, you could go the classic shredded sharp cheddar cheese and bacon route. Or go simple with chopped chives or green onions. Or one of my favs — oodles of gorgonzola cheese.
Actually, though, I have to admit that I actually love these best just plain. But however you make them, I guarantee you will love the creamy, buttery, slow cooked, deliciousness.
Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes
This slow cooker mashed potatoes recipe is unbelievably easy to make, and it's perfectly creamy and delicious!
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold or Red potatoes, roughly chopped into 1-inch pieces and peeled if desired (*edited: Russett potatoes tend to oxidize more quickly and turn a bit gray while cooking, so I don't recommend them)
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 1/4 cup butter, cut into small cubes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup milk, warmed
- (optional add-ins: crumbled bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled blue cheese, chopped green onions or chives, etc.)
Add potatoes and stock to the bowl of a slow cooker, and place butter cubes and minced garlic on top. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until the potatoes are cooked and soft.
Use a potato masher or an electric mixer to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. Stir in the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), salt, and black pepper. And add your desired amount of warm milk, until the potatoes reach your desired level of creamy-ness. Stir in any other add-ins if desired.
Serve warm.
*You're also welcome to cook these in the slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low, however sometimes potatoes will get a little brown if they cook that long depending on the heat of your slow cooker. I recommend cooking for 3-4 hours on high.
If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!

If we peel and cut the potatoes tonight, will they be ok to start cooking tomorrow? My mom thinks they might get brown. Do you have any suggestions? We're try to get as much done tonight as possible. Thank you!
Just made these for Thanksgiving – I went with chicken stock, sour cream, and a mix of half and half and whole milk, and everyone raved about how these were the best mashed potatoes they've ever eaten. I split ten pounds of potatoes between my slow cooker and the regular stove method – we didn't even touch the ones I made on the stove, even though there were 20 of us. This is my new go-to method for mashed potatoes. Thanks for posting this!
I made these and after three hours some of the potatoes were hard and some were soft??
We like to add cream cheese ummm good
Hi, I am wondering whether I can make these the night before serving? Or whether I can cook potatoes while I'm at work (let them sit a couple hours) and then come home and mix in the dairy?
I'd selfishly like to make these vegan so that I can have them on Thanksgiving too. :) What do you recommend as a sub for the yogurt/sour cream? I think coconut milk/cashew milk should be fine for the regular milk – do you agree?
Thank you!
Trying your recipe today for 🦃 day!!! My wife does not like peals in her mash. So, I will be peeling the potatoes. Hopefully that won't matter. Wish me luck!!! And thanks for the great recipe!!!
Because the liquid doesn't cover completely, some of the potatoes on the top got black. Is there a way to prevent this from happening next time? Thanks!

4G (LTE) technology is the latest generation for rural broadband, surpassing existing, congested wifi broadband options. Our own 4G wireless capacity is complemented by leased capacity on towers upgraded as part of the $300m Government-backed Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI), including, but not limited to the following areas:Athenree, also covering Bowentown and Athenree Gorge. Waihi Beach. Waihi, also covering Waikino. Minden, also covering Te Puna, Wairoa, Whakamarama and Omokoroa. Katikati, also covering Aongatete. Pyes Pa, also covering Oropi, Omanawa and Lower Kaimai. Poike, also covering Ohauiti. Papamoa, also covering Waitao. Papamoa South, also covering Te Puke. Paengaroa, also covering Rangiuru and Te Ranga. Maketu, also covering Pongakawa and Pukehina. We've recently expanded coverage into Rotorua District, Thames-Coromandel District & Whakatane District areas.

Who is Full Flavour?
Full Flavour is a locally owned internet service provider (ISP) with it's office located in Durham Street, Tauranga. The company has been in the business of connecting locals for over 9 years now with hundreds of customers in Tauranga city.
We've always been a leader - in Tauranga we were providing fibre broadband services to customers years before the big national telcos entered the market with their products.
Now in rural areas, with 700Mhz 4G technology, we're the local provider to turn to with the fastest rural broadband internet - 30Mbps+.
Where do you have coverage?
We are using capacity on new and upgraded towers throughout the Bay that have had services setup as part of the Government-backed Rural Broadband Initiative.
With the special RBI funding, the infrastructure has been constructed to a level of quality & height that far exceeds local competitor towers. In particular, RBI towers are usually 30M above ground, with mains power and fibre backbone connection installed.
Coverage on 700Mhz 4G frequencies (previously used for analog broadcast TV) typically extends beyond 20KM and is available in most areas in rural Bay of Plenty where people live.
What are your contract terms?
At present we offer a free standard connection, which involves no external antenna. We sell the customer a 4G broadband router that provides a standard size 3 bedroom home with Wi-Fi.
We don't lock customers in for any particular length of time, but 30 days written notice must be given to us to end a Full Flavour 4G service.
How long does it take to get connected?
In regular circumstances, we can confirm coverage at your property within five working days. We do this via a free signal test where we confirm availability and speed via testing equipment (including specialist antennas).
Arranging equipment for your connection may take up to 10 working days once you've accepted our quote.
Our present record is a customer calling us at 3.30pm on a Monday and being online two hours later.
Occasionally demand for our 4G service may exceed our forecasts and we may be waiting for additional equipment supplies.
I have poor mobile coverage. Does that mean I can't get the service?
Most mobile devices we have come across so far don't support 700Mhz 4G services. So if you can't get mobile signal, that doesn't necessarily mean you won't be able to receive our service as 700Mhz 4G travels much further than higher frequencies commonly used for mobile phones and slower fixed wireless networks such as the ones operated by other local wifi providers.
What if I need an antenna?
Approximately 10% of our customers can receive adequate signal but require an antenna installed on their roof to boost speed up to an acceptable level. In these cases we offer a subsidised installation service via trusted installation partners in the Bay of Plenty.
Is there an unlimited plan?
Unfortunately there is a limit to the amount of capacity (gigabytes per month) that wireless technology can support. Increasing capacity often involves building another tower in the area at significant cost. If unlimited plans were permitted at these speeds, the risk of a small number of users consuming all capacity and thus slowing down the service is quite high. Allocating each customer a data pack of 80GB, 120GB, 200GB (or 240GB in areas where we have additional upgraded capacity) ensures everyone gets a good service.
Do you have a referral scheme?
Yes, most of our new customers come to us thanks to the satisfied broadband users we already have. When a new customer signs up to our service and mentions you, we will apply a $50 incl GST credit to your broadband account. Yes - 24 successful referrals means you will receive free internet for a year.
What model router do you provide?
At present our 4G router is a Huawei B315s-607. The router includes Wi-Fi for your home devices to connect to as well as four ethernet ports. We offer a standard 12 month warranty on 4G router equipment, so we'll replace it free of charge in the event of failure (excluding failure caused by power surges or sun damage).

Folio illustration agency
Folio illustration agency was established in central London in 1976
We're proud of the personal relationships that we have with our illustrators such as Julian De Narvaez.
By working closely together, we can ensure you get exceptional artwork, on time and on budget.
See the latest work from our illustrators in our news section.
Drop us a line and tell us what you're looking for. We'd love to hear from you and your projects!
If you are new to commissioning, we're here to guide you through the process.
First of all, think about…
What you'd like the image to depict
What style you require. You can browse our illustrators here
Where and how long you want to use the image
Then just give us a call or send us an email and we'll take it from there!
Established long before most other agencies, Folio has four decades of industry experience. The company was founded in a small basement shop when Nicholas Dawe had a vision of helping prospective illustrators establish their work.
The inspiration for Folio was Dawe's close friend, illustrator George Underwood, who produced early album covers for Davie Bowie, T-Rex, Mott the Hoople and more. The connection with the music industry continued when Folio artist Joe Petagno designed Motorhead's 'Snaggletooth' logo in 1977. Other bands with album art by Folio artists include the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
Work was not confined to the music industry, however, as Folio worked on some of the most prestigious advertising campaigns for the likes of British Airways and even produced an icon of the silver screen when Joe Petagno created the concept model for the 'facehugger' in Ridley Scott's Alien – a prop which would haunt the office for years.
Before the internet and before digital illustration, there was Folio. In the 1980s, some of the artists would work at Folio's light-filled studio near the British Museum, phones ringing, jobs coming in, couriers whizzing original artworks and transparencies across London. Some of the mechanics might have changed, but Folio's professional approach and attention to detail remain invaluable to agency clients such as J Walter Thompson, McCann Erickson, Grey, BBH and Mother.
Each decade has seen Folio involved in culture-defining artwork, from Syd Brak's iconic glam-punk airbrush art for Athena in the 1980s to the Hed Kandi clubland digital illustrations pioneered by Jason Brooks in the 1990s and beyond. From billboards, movies and TV ads to album covers, magazines and packaging, over the years you have seen more art by Folio's illustrators than you know.

A Dial Tone to Racism
In my grandmother's era and even my mother's time, there were segregated families and neighborhoods. There was shame if you were German and you married Czech. Italians and Germans didn't really inter-marry in 1890 either. Marriage between someone who was white and someone who was black was unthinkable.
My grandmother's African-American friend caused a stir the one time her visit happened to stretch on past sunset. This was in about 1950. A neighbor called my grandmother to find out when her visitor would be leaving the neighborhood.
The truth is, Hollywood set the tone and America followed. Actresses like Lena Horne were told they had to be reinvented with Latin origins or they would have their parts pulled out of movies earmarked for our southern states. Actresses like Dinah Shore who had a fractional amount of "foreign" heritage were told to give up their racially demonstrative babies (like Shore did) or forgo their careers in Hollywood. Carol Channing's father was a noted newspaper-man in Seattle. He was of African heritage and his daughter only came out about it when she was well into retirement. In fact, many women were uninvited to work in makeup or dress/wardrobe if they were found to be black. The same went with male writers and studio workers. The policy was called something like "No Black Hands On White" and they dismissed you from your role outright. From what I saw, there were very few black roles in Hollywood.
In the 1950s, we were "America." People emulated us; wanted our products and blindly tried to fit round pegs into square holes. You could emigrate to the US, and you could be "American" in that era, but that meant emulating "white" America.
I feel that we have managed to get past our hesitation of certain nationalities and races ﹘ but not all. When will we be able to look at someone and see below the pigment to the person inside?
Not soon enough.
I sometimes imagine I hear a telephone ring. I know how my grandmother and her friend felt.

Hello! Good morning and happy Saturday.
Well, it's happening. School is starting back up and that means a new rhythm, or back to the old one I guess you could say…please place orders by Sunday evening for pick up anytime after 4pm Wednesday. Please indicate when you would like to pick up when you place your order. Orders can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com and you'll find the menu here.
I really want to focus on this product line of "meal builders" hopefully to be available in stores one of these days, so I highly encourage you to give the frozen staples a try! For those wishing back to the ready-made days, what keeps you from trying the batters, etc out on your own? Would instructional videos help? A demo class so you can see, feel, and taste it, and see how very easy it is?
Enjoy your day and weekend!

The great housing boom was an artifice of cheap credit, risky banking, ill-advised government policy, greedy Wall Street "engineering" and a mania by average Americans. "Housing prices never go down," the meme went. Now supply vastly exceeds demand; a "shadow inventory" of bank-owned properties exists to trickle in, holding down prices; many house-owners hang on to an unrealistic price, thus keeping sales from happening; a vast amount of deleveraging continues, whether voluntarily (dampening demand) or through foreclosure (putting more houses on the market), and lenders have tightened credit standards. Indeed, a Wall Street Journal story reports that the actual severity of the housing crash may be much worse than counted and reported. The old model, including the sprawl construction that was the last major manufacturing sector in most places, is not coming back. The "new normal" that replaces it will be long in arriving, and continue to hold back recovery. For many, the "American dream" may not be the single-family house they "own" (actually, the bank usually owns it). Author/economist Dambisa Moyo discussed this issue Friday night as part of the Seattle Arts and Lectures series. In her new book, How the West Was Lost, the economist argues that government policies to promote house ownership distorted market signals and incentives, encouraging people to put their capital into property rather than more promising assets. Many western European countries have lower rates of house ownership than America. Richard Florida has made the critique in a different way, that many people would be better off renting so they could be more mobile and go where the jobs are. And James Howard Kunstler has called suburbia "the greatest misallocation of resources in the history of the world." The desire of many Americans to own a house won't go away. Their means won't be as great, now that the Federal Reserve can't power a housing bubble that cloaks decades of stagnant wages. The "American dream" was once the right to rise, economic and social mobility amid political freedom — this before the housing industry turned the phrase into a consumer product. Will either survive the new normal? Since the long-form blog essay has been pronounced dead, I must sign off with that question.

Meat production in Russia continues to grow steadily and the large-scale farms and corporate agricultural companies are the main contributors to this success. According to the EMEAT agency data, production volume of the main types of meat (pork, beef, poultry, lamb and goat) in Russia amounted to 7,048.2 thousand tons in slaughter weight for the period from January to November 2017, which is 7.1% or 465.2 thousand tons more than for the same period in 2016.
As a result of eleven months of 2017, pork accounted for 35.1% of the total volume of industrial meat production, poultry for 58.0%, beef for 6.7%, lamb and goat for 0.2%.
At the end of December 2017, the price of domestic pork was 138.3 RUB / kg (1.99 euro / kg), which is 13.6% lower than in the same period last year. During December 2017 the price has increased by 2.2%.
Chicken carcass prices decreased by 13.9% during the year (from the end of December 2016 to the end of December 2017) and amounted to 95.9 RUB / kg (1.38 euro / kg) at the end of December 2017. However the price increased by 0.5% during December 2017.
Thus, despite the December pre-holiday price increase, in general pork and chicken prices decreased in 2017. In a situation where market was flooding with pork and chicken and competition among producers was increasing (producers constantly had to resort to different types of special offers to increase the demand for their products), prices were pushing down. As a result, demand for meat has increased among the customers who are already accustomed to living in the conditions of the economic crisis and who have learned to spend the money reasonably. However, EMEAT believe that this tendency is temporary, and if prices rise again, demand for meat will decrease.

We use Apache Atlas for data discovery and lineage, relying heavily on its unique-to-the-industry extensibility. First we tackled the public cloud, including kafka topics, avro schemas and S3 datasets. Next we integrated metadata and lineage for the on-prem datasets. More recently we added data-based ML approaches to duplicate elimination and discovery of semantic equivalences. These are aimed primarily at taming the chaos of the legacy data lake, and finding connections between that data lake and the EDW. We use Atlas/Ranger for tag-based authorization not only in the Hadoop environment, but also in AWS S3, Presto, and other public cloud-based applications. We have built API's to make it very easy for other groups within Comcast to push metadata and lineage to Atlas, removing our group as the bottleneck. All the extensions to Atlas type definitions have been contributed to the Apache Open Source community.

About Me
My research and teaching have been profoundly shaped by my personal journey across many linguistic, cultural, and geographic boundaries. I grew up between Philadelphia, California, and Puerto Rico, and I was the first person in my family to attend college. Before my doctoral studies, I completed my BA in Spanish & International Relations at St. Joseph's University. I spent a year as an Auxiliar de Conversación in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and later began my graduate studies as an MA student in Linguistics at the Universidad de Puerto Rico-Río Piedras. For my MA thesis, I conducted several months of fieldwork in Havana, Cuba, where I became deeply invested in ethnography and qualitative methodologies, and social, political, linguistic, and historical ties across the Spanish-speaking Caribbean and Brazil.
Outside of linguistics, my hobbies include dance (ballet, flamenco, salsa, bhangra, and raqs sharqi), travel, cooking & baking, photography, watching Bollywood films, playing the piano, and working towards becoming a hyperpolyglot. I enjoy reading academic work across anthropology, theology & religious studies, philosophy, and political science. I have been involved in advocacy and support for Turner Syndrome and other intersex conditions since I was diagnosed at a young age.
For inquiring minds... "How many languages do you speak?": English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi-Urdu, Italian, French, Galician. I have studied several years of Arabic and Russian, as well as bits and pieces of other languages.
"How do you say your name?!"
That might depend on which language you're speaking! However, for inquiring minds: [ˈæː.ʃli ˈdɑː.fɪ.ne͡ɪ t͡ʃi.vi.ˈtɛːl.lo] does the trick, although francophones might insist on [do.fi.ˈnɛ]. 'Dauphinais' is my paternal name, and 'Civitello' is my maternal name, and I prefer to use both when possible.

More information about The Fearless Few album launch party tickets
To mark the release of their first album Daredevilry, made up of highlights from music production challenges that have been successfully tackled between 2016 and 2018, international collective The Fearless Few will be hosting a launch party consisting of live performances and DJ sets by a selection of its members.
Whilst stylistically diverse, The Fearless Few are tied together by a shared ambition to better themselves as producers through the relentless tackling of creatively expansive, time-restricted production challenges.
Over the years, members of the collective have remixed Iraqi oud music, built tracks using nothing but found sound from our kitchens, composed music for a children's book promo, scored a scene from a horror script, followed Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies, hosted a takeover on Netil Radio, created radio show jingles, entered and won remix competitions and so much more.
Some of the live sets on the night are bound to feature tracks produced in conjunction with some of these challenges, so expect an eclectic mix of genres, sensibilities and instrumentation.
The Woods
'Mesmerising folktronica'. The Woods is the music of Scottish producer, vocalist & multi-instrumentalist Johnny McFadzean. Featured on BBC Introducing & WorldwideFM, his haunting vocals intertwine with looped beats & intricate harmonies in 'very excellent James Blake-meets-Moon Safari vibes'.
KonDread is a DJ and beat maker. As vinyl selector his collection oscillates around UK post-dubstep and hybrid bass electronic music. He produces music under different aliases, experimenting with atmospheric soundscapes and broken beats.
Diffuze, the Fearless Few collective's resident tech maven and an associate of the much-revered CDR night, will bring us a deep, atmospheric and hazy live set rooted in his passion for ambient, dub techno and IDM.
MSOM is the founder of the Fearless Few, whose Scandinavian roots account for his polished and unapologetically poppy sound, broadly inspired by late 90s and early 00s electronica – particularly Warp – as well as minimal associated with earlier releases on Kompakt.
Two Silhouettes
Two Silhouettes operates as a solo act, duo, or band. Producer Sam Holloway's music fuses the darkness of the Bristol Sound with the propulsive tempos of the Plastic People scene, mixing outsider house, alternative rock, and alt-R&B. A founding member of the Fearless Few, Sam Holloway has also presented on Radio Nope and Netil Radio, and composes for film and video.
Oliver Si
CDR co-organiser and DJ - Oliver Si formed his DJ career in what became the hugely popular Dubstep Scene circa 2007. Oliver Si has played around the world and supported a variety of Acts such as Rusko, Noisia, Sticky, Alexander Nut, and Mistabishi, amongst many others. With around 12 years experience drifting between ambient soundscapes, drum & bass and many variants in between, he can provide interesting grooves, melancholy and bass.
Expect a free form exploration of rhythm with a psychedelic touch. Influenced by DJs and artists such as Theo Parrish, Four Tet and Floating Points, Zar is creating a musical fusion across electronic and Indian classical genres alike, designed to free yourselves of day to day stresses and encouraging you to embrace the primal beat in all of you. Zar is a presenter for London Fields Radio, and recently remixed of T?l's debut single "What You Are".

Music is such a beautiful way to express God's love for all who are listening. As I was reading in Psalms one day, I saw the phrase "Sing unto the Lord a new song". I asked God to help me to do so and He did. Faith was the key and God's word unlocked the door. When I opened His word to the Psalms, to see if I could sing them for the first time, I began singing the words aloud as I read them.
I have always enjoyed music and singing with others. As a teenager,I sang at the Arlington Hotel in Hot Springs with Marjorie Lawrence's Opera workshop, then later at First Methodist Church in the Annual Sacred Concert. Also, in Hot Springs
I was involved in the musical passion play, "The Witness". I was in the chorus and later began singing solos in the roles of Mary and the wife of the apostle, Peter. I enjoyed doing this for seventeen glorious seasons. I loved sharing my faith and witnessing God's word in this way.
Presently, I enjoy visiting my family and dear friends.I also love teaching music and singing beautiful songs inspired by God's Holy Spirit.

|Known for
|First practising female solicitor in N.S.W, pacifist, mountaineer, explorer, feminist, author and conservationist
Marie Beuzeville Byles (8 April 1900 – 21 November 1979) was a committed conservationist, pacifist, the first practising female solicitor in New South Wales (NSW), mountaineer, explorer and avid bushwalker, feminist, journalist, and an original member of the Buddhist Society in New South Wales. She was also a travel and non-fiction writer.[1][2]
The eldest of three children, Marie was born in 1900[3] in Ashton upon Mersey in what was then Cheshire, England, to progressive-minded parents. Her younger brothers were David John Byles[4] and Baldur Unwin Byles (1904–1975).[3][5] Her parents were Unitarian Universalists, Fabian socialists and pacifists. Her mother Ida Margaret, née Unwin,[2] was a suffragette and had studied at The Slade School of Fine Art, until "her artistic talents were lost to the drudgery of housekeeping",[6] and who impressed upon her daughter the necessity of being financially independent of men. Her father, Cyril Beuzeville Byles was a railway signal engineer.[7] In England he involved his children in campaigns against fences that prevented public access for recreational walks.[8]
The family moved to Australia in 1911 because Cyril Byles was appointed Chief Signals Engineer with the New South Wales Government Railways, to design the signal system for electrifying the railway system.[3] They found a block of land in Beecroft and in 1913 built a house there which they named 'Chilworth'. The family spent summers by the sea, and in 1913 they also built a small cottage at Palm Beach, on Sunrise Hill facing the lighthouse.[6]
Marie was educated at Beecroft Primary School, and at the Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney at Croydon from 1914 to 1915, and in 1916 and 1917 at the new second campus of the school at Pymble (now known as Pymble Ladies' College). She excelled, and became a prefect and dux of the school in 1916, and Head Prefect and dux the following year.[8] At matriculation, she won an Exhibition to the University of Sydney.[3]
Marie Byles never married, had no children, and considered it a waste of potential when her friend Dot Butler chose to have children rather than continue with full-time mountaineering.[9]
In 1932 she joined The Women's Club, which was created in Sydney in 1901 to provide a place where women "interested in public, professional, scientific and artistic work" could meet.[10]
First female solicitor[edit]
Marie was one of a small number of women to attend the University of Sydney. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1921 and in 1924 she completed a Bachelor of Laws degree and became the first woman to be admitted as a solicitor in New South Wales.[8][11] Although Ada Evans had graduated in law in 1902, it had been illegal for a woman to practise law in Australia until 1918. After clerking for four years, in 1929 Marie set up a legal practice, the first woman to do so in New South Wales.[6]
Marie operated two law practices – one in Eastwood and the other in the central Sydney.[8] She gave young women opportunities to participate in the profession. 'The business in Eastwood built up because she had the reputation of getting things done so quickly and that was almost unknown in a legal office, she was notorious.' (Employee, Ruth Milton).[12] She worked mainly on conveyancing and probate, and also to ensure just divorce settlements for female clients.[3] She retired and handed over the legal practice to a partner in 1970.[6]
Journalist and speaker[edit]
As a student, Marie wrote and published articles on legal, political, and environmental subjects.[2] From 1927–1936 she had the position of legal correspondent for the Australian Women's Mirror. She wrote articles against women changing their name on marriage, so as to protect their financial assets. As legal correspondent she brought attention to laws and court practices that discriminated against women.[3] She gave lectures for the Australian League of Nations Union and wrote pamphlets for The United Associations of Women.[2]
As a teenager at her family's holiday retreat at Palm Beach, Marie would look through her telescope across Broken Bay to the bushland beyond on the Central Coast. The area was marked on maps as Bouddi, an aboriginal name meaning nose. It was a coal reserve visited only by fishermen. In 1920 Marie and some of her university friends set out to walk through the bush of Bouddi to Maitland Bay, then known as 'Boat Harbour', where they camped. It became a favourite spot for them. The only bushwalking club at the time was The Mountain Trails Club led by Myles Dunphy, which did not admit women.[8] By 1929, there was an increasing focus on organised recreation for the city and suburban population and Marie joined the two-year-old 'Sydney Bushwalkers Club'. In 1930, a new name for Boat Harbour was proposed by the Club; bushwalker Dorothy Lawry suggested "Maitland Bay" after the steamer that was wrecked at the northern end of the beach in 1889.[13]
Over the next five years, with the support of the Federation of Sydney Bushwalkers Clubs, Marie successfully campaigned in the press for the area to be placed under public ownership. The creation of Bouddi Natural Park in 1935 was a landmark achievement for the early conservationists. The Lands Department set aside an even larger area than Marie had proposed.[8] Marie Byles was elected a trustee of the board that managed the park, and for many years organized volunteers to clear and maintain its walking tracks.[8] A lookout over Bouddi has been named after her;[1] it is accessible by car, on The Scenic Road in Killcare Heights just south of the Bouddi National Park Visitor Centre.
In 1927–28, Marie had saved enough money from working for four years as a law clerk to take a year off to travel.[3] She set off on a Norwegian cargo boat, and it is from this journey that she wrote her popular book By Cargo Boat and Mountain, published in 1931. Later she was periodically able to leave her law practice in the hands of partners, to climb mountains in Britain, Norway and Canada. In 1935 she climbed Mt Cook in New Zealand.[8] After finding that an expedition to Alaska would be too expensive,[1] in 1938 she led a large expedition to Mt Sansato, in Western China near the Tibetan border. At times her party in China traveled with a military escort to protect them from bandits. Due to poor weather, the expedition failed to reach the summit, and Marie was bitterly disappointed.[8]
She became interested in the Quaker denomination of Christianity, but was refused membership. During her travels through Burma, China and Vietnam in 1938, Marie often chose to stay in temples, which brought her into direct contact with non-European cultures and religions. On her return, Marie renewed her interest in the teachings of Gandhi, and began exploring Buddhism. A collapsed foot arch meant that she was no longer able to walk long distances or climb, and she studied spirituality and meditation to find ways of dealing with her pain.[8]
Over the following years she spent a year in India, including the Himalayas, and made three trips to Burma and two trips to Japan. In 1960 she formed a meditation group, inviting interested people from any religion or none to meet on Saturday afternoons to study meditation techniques.[1] In later life she became particularly drawn to Mahayana Buddhism and the conscious practice of kindness and compassion.[1] From these experiences she completed four books on Buddhism.[8]
Byles' home[edit]
By 1938 Marie left her family home in Beecroft and built her own house on bushland that she had bought in 1935 at the edge of nearby Cheltenham, adjacent to crown land.[14] She named it 'Ahimsa' after the term used by Gandhi meaning "harmlessness". The four-room simple cottage is built of fibro and sandstone, and the large north-facing verandah is primarily where Marie slept and lived in preference to the interior rooms. In addition to the house, Marie wanted to have a place on her land for groups to meet for discussions and meditation. By 1949, the 'Hut of Happy Omen' was complete, designed as an open sleepout with bunks and a large sandstone fireplace. She had another small house built next to 'Ahimsa' in 1975, called 'Sentosa' (a Malay language word meaning peace and tranquility).
In 1970 Marie bequeathed her property to The National Trust of Australia (NSW), which she had helped in 1946 when she was the consulting solicitor who drafted the organisation's constitution.[3]
Death and legacy[edit]
Marie died at 'Ahimsa' in 1979.[2] In 1985 a dramatised documentary, A Singular Woman, was made by Gillian Coote using text from an unpublished autobiography written by Byles, along with reenactments and commentary by friends.[6][15] Her papers (1923-1982) are held in the State Library of New South Wales (http://archival.sl.nsw.gov.au/Details/archive/110345231).

Following a record-breaking Thursday debut, an impressive early week outing and an optimistic weekend prediction, the good news continues to roll in for Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman. According to a report from Forbes, DC's latest film has sailed past the $300 million mark at the global box office after just a week of ticket sales.
Heading into the weekend, Wonder Woman is sitting comfortably as the 14th highest worldwide grossing film of 2017 and number nine in North American receipts, coming in just ahead of M. Night Shyamalan's Split on both fronts. According to the analysis by Forbes, if Wonder Woman meets its weekend expectations it will overtake the number five spot and be in spitting distance of Logan -- which currently holds the number three spot.
RELATED: Marvel Movie Stars Praise Gadot, Jenkins for Wonder Woman Success
Given that the only real competition for the top weekend box office spot is Universal's The Mummy, it's likely that the projections will hold. And while there is a fair amount of box office competition coming down the pike, not the least of which being Spider-Man: Homecoming and War of the Planet of the Apes, its entirely plausible that Wonder Woman will reach year's end as the third biggest domestic grosser, and possibly worldwide.
That's bound to be good news for DC Films and Warner Bros., given the less than stellar reception to the previous entries in DC's cinematic universe. Given the box office numbers and the overwhelmingly positive response from fans and critics alike (Wonder Woman is the first film in the DCEU to nab a "Certified Fresh" rating from Rotten Tomatoes), it looks like DC may be on the verge of righting its cinematic ship.
RELATED: Wonder Woman's Most Important Scene Nearly Didn't Happen
Currently screening in theaters, Wonder Woman is a production of DC Films directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Robin Wright as General Antiope, Danny Huston as General Erich Ludendorff, David Thewlis as Ares, Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta, Elena Anaya as Doctor Poison and Lucy Davis as Etta Candy.

(CBS News) Have you ever wondered why mashed potatoes in a restaurant usually taste so much better than the ones you make at home?
Or why seemingly simple kitchen tasks like peeling hard-boiled eggs always look so much easier when chefs do it on TV?
Me, too.
Video: An Introduction to What's Cooking?
I'm Alison. I made the decision to go to culinary school on a whim, after years of playing with the idea.
I am enrolled in the Classic Culinary Arts program at The French Culinary Institute in New York . It's a nine-month program and after 600-plus hours in the kitchen, er, classroom, I will officially become Chef Alison.
There are some big celebrity chefs who have graduated from FCI - like Bobby Flay and David Chang. While I'm not planning to open an award-winning restaurant any time soon, I'm excited to learn the tricks of the culinary trade.
AND, I thought it would be fun to share my experiences with you at home. Here at "What's Cooking," I'll show you the most useful tips, techniques and recipes I pick up in class. Bookmark this page, or follow "What's Cooking" on Twitter @CBSWhatsCooking to follow me through school.
Happy cooking!

Product Description
On a small, lonely island in Ivoire lives Ash, a Phantom who lost his life in battle, and Marona, who has the ability to communicate with Phantoms. Sometimes, Marona receives Bottlemails that float along the sea.
Marona, who lost her parents when she was very young, makes her living by completing the requests inside the Bottlemails as a Chroma, a person who accepts freelance work to solve problems for people. However, because of her abilities, the people call her the "Possessed." Even if she completes her work, some clients will hesitate to pay her the reward because of her reputation.
Still, Marona stays optimistic and follows what her parents told her long ago: "Help people, and someday everyone will start to like you." Her goal is to save enough money to buy Phantom Isle, which she's currently renting. Like a subtle wave in the sea, the adventures of Marona and Ash are about to begin.

I love love love when my assistant/second shooters take a few behind the scenes stuff on the wedding day. As my spring wedding season here in Pensacola comes to a close, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic. It went by SO fast and I had tons of fun!
After what feels like a whole lifetime of not fitting in, I can't believe I've actually found my people.
Maybe I'm vain, but I really do love to share my passion for my work with everyone! I'm in a unique position in which I can share this side of my job!
Here's a compilation of all the weird and awesome things you might find me doing behind the camera and what I love best 🖤✌🏼 Taken by my new friends/fellow photographers and all the people that have worked with me this spring season!
Thanks for showing me that I CAN in fact style the back of my hair. 🖤👏🏼💯🙏🏼 Oh and for also showing that I wear the same outfits on repeat 😂

Corruption "At What Cost" News
What isn't fair?
Like Us On Facebook
Just 60 years ago, 80% of us here in the Unites States, believed the government worked in the best interests of all US citizens. Today that number is flipped and now 80% of us don't trust our Government nor our representatives. Our government isn't working. What's changed?
Yes, we realize the government isn't listening to us and our goal at Make it Fair is to help illuminate that the only people who do feel the government represents them are the very small percentage who are able to influence the government via their wealth. The corrosive effects of money in our political process is a clear threat to our democracy. Equity is key.
Unprecedented inequity in the power of the monied voices and current laws have made it so money is speech. Lots of money allows us to speak loudly. Lack of money forces us to whisper. This isn't something written in our Constitution, but interpreted by judges over time. Do you think the engine behind the judges interpretations were poor whisperers or the shouting super wealthy?
At Make it Fair we will strive to identify and discuss the many ways money has not only influenced government, but also popular opinion. We welcome you to join in the dialogue.

Kolkata: Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao came to Kolkata and meet Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday. Important discussions about forming non-BJP front of Opposition parties might be discussed in this meet.
A TMC leader told the media, "It is not only Opposition parties, but also allies of BJP, which are also mulling the option of forming an alternative front. Recently, TDP severed its ties with BJP and we do not know who will follow suit. Being the flagbearer of an alternative front, we have to continuously hold talks with other regional parties as well as with those who are allies of BJP," said a senior TMC leader."
Reportedly, earlier Chandrashekhar Rao also talked with Mamata Banerjee over phone. Earlier the TRS chief hinted about creating third front against BJP by creating alliance with the opposition parties of the country.

Honors Programs
James Scholar Honors is the college-level honors program which allows you to get extra experiences and make yourself standout on the job market. James Scholars also get priority registration for classes, have the opportunity to take honors-only classes, and have a special distinction when they graduate.
How it works:
- Incoming freshmen must be invited to participate their first semester. Students may self-nominate to be a James Scholar through the student portal in the first 10 days of class each semester after they have been on campus 1 semester and if they meet the GPA requirement.
- Students are expected to maintain a 3.5 GPA.
Requirements and Applying
Freshman Requirements
Freshman requirements apply to all first year students, regardless of advanced academic standing due, for instance, to AP or IB credits. These requirements do not apply to transfer students. You must complete an Honors Activity during your freshman year. Many students complete this during their second semester. Options for this activity include:
- Completion of an honors section of any course. Such sections are designated as such in the course description or have "Honors" in the title. (i.e. Honors Project or Honors Seminar)
- Completion of a course with an Honors Credit Learning Agreement (HCLA) It represents an agreement between you and your instructor regarding the additional work to be done in a course in order to receive honors credit. This can be done for any course and with instructor approval. You will receive honors credit for the course.
Any course or activity that involves effort beyond normal academic requirements may be considered as an honors experience, upon review and approval by the Engineering Undergraduate Programs Office. Submit requests to 206 Engineering Hall.
Sophomore, Junior, & Senior Requirements
Students who have achieved a minimum cumulative University of Illinois GPA of 3.50, are eligible to apply to be an Engineering James Scholar. Applications are accepted only during the first ten days of classes in the fall and spring semesters. Apply online through the student portal.
Sophomores must: (1) meet with their departmental James Scholar adviser to discuss, create, and complete an honors contract; and (2) take one honors course, or complete an Honors Credit Learning Agreement for a regular course, or complete at least one course in your honors contract if the contract has already been filed.
Juniors and seniors must take at least one course per year from your honors contract, and submit a detailed Semester Plan each and every semester through the final undergraduate semester.
If the honors contract is not completed upon graduation all previous certifications for the upper class James Scholar program will be removed. If the honors contract is completed early: In any subsequent academic year (not calendar year), the student must complete a course for an honors grade in order to be certified and receive the James Scholar mention on the transcripts for that year.
Electrical or Computer Engineering Special Requirements
Along with a minimum 3.5 GPA, the ECE department requires sophomores, juniors, and seniors must take ECE 200 in either the fall or spring semester of each year. Learn more.
Computer Science Special Requirements
Students in the Department of Computer Science must also fulfill the following requirements:
Successfully complete two additional CS courses at the 400-level beyond those required for graduation.
CS 499 Senior Thesis (Students may not substitute the Software Engineering or Senior Project sequence for this honors contract requirement. However, courses from the Software Engineering sequence and/or the Senior Project sequence may be used to satisfy the "additional" courses of requirement 1. above). If 1 and 2 above don't add up to 12 hours, you must take an additional course, subject to approval by the honors advisor
OR a student may use a minor to satisfy the James Scholars Upperclass Honors Contract, which must be approved by the CS James Scholars honors advisor. Most, but not all, minors are acceptable (for example, the Math minor would not be permitted).
Annual James Scholar Certification
James Scholar reviews take place in the summer. If your GPA dips below 3.5 after the fall semester, there may still be time to make up for the GPA deficiency in the spring semester, and remain a James Scholar. Summer courses cannot be used to make up for a GPA deficiency in the preceding academic year. However, if a student is able to regain the 3.5 GPA minimum after the summer, the student may apply in the first ten days of classes of the fall semester to be reinstated as an Engineering James Scholar. Only grades obtained at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign can be counted for the honors GPA requirement.
Students who maintain the prescribed GPA at the end of the spring semester and have completed the necessary honors requirements for the academic year, will be certified and their accomplishment be noted on their transcripts for the full year.
Students who maintain the prescribed GPA but do not complete remaining James Scholars honors requirements will not receive certification.
Apply To Be a James Scholar
Students interested in applying to be an Engineering James Scholar must meet the minimum 3.5 GPA requirements and meet with a departmental honors adviser to discuss and design an honors contract that can be successfully completed while simultaneously allowing the student to fulfill the graduation requirements of their undergraduate program. The honors contract can be modified at any time as long as the changes are approved by the student's departmental honors adviser and the College of Engineering James Scholar Adviser.
Transfer students may apply to be an Engineering James Scholar after at least one semester on campus if the student's Illinois GPA meets the minimum 3.5 requirement. Grades in transfer courses will not be considered for James Scholar status; only courses taken at Illinois are accepted for James Scholars recognition. Study abroad, co-op, and internship activities are not recognized as James Scholars activities.
Applications to become a member of the prestigious the Engineering James Scholar Program can be submitted online in the first ten days of classes of the fall and spring semesters.
NOTE: Only grades obtained at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign can be counted for the honors GPA requirement.

Cambria Quartz: Full Height Backsplash/
Today we're sharing a few reasons to consider using Cambria quartz not only for your kitchen's countertops, but also as the backsplash for your project. We love the look of contrasting materials in the kitchen- its an easy way to add interest and texture to a room. There are plenty of beautiful options available- but we just wanted to spend a moment and highlight a couple benefits that full height Cambria backsplash offers over conventional tile or drywall. Firstly, full height backsplash creates a clean look in any kitchen. Whether you choose the same Cambria design for backsplash as you did for your countertops, or you select a complementary design, the sleekness of full height splash is an elevated, modern look.
Using the same Cambria design for countertop and backsplash will 'tie a look together' in a sumptuous way. It highlights the beauty of your design, and allows you to enjoy it from any vantage point in the room- you don't have to be standing to see the incredible beauty of your choice!
Using the same design also can create more visual impact from your choice- even the most subtle of designs looks intentionally impressive when repeated on countertop, backsplash and even ceiling, as in the photo above. Using the available wall space allows you to create stunning accents to the rest of your room's design with the same beautiful material you love.
Full height backsplash also offers the ultimate protection for your kitchen. Using full height backsplash protects your walls from moisture damage, staining and heat. In addition to protection, Cambria backsplash also requires no maintenance - sealing not required! Your Cambria will not stain or discolor, even with the most colorful of spices, which makes it so simple to keep you kitchen looking clean and fresh.
Full height quartz backsplash offers endless opportunities to combine Cambria designs and is durable, hygienic and maintenance free! We love it and think you will too.
