We have LOTS of root vegetables from our CSA. They are not the kid's favorite type of vegetable but I think I may have found some creative approaches to these "earth-diggen" veggies with lighter meals sprinkled in between.

Most of this week we need easy or make ahead meals. We're also having Skoogie's leftover bean salad creation.
Weekly Menu for the Week of February 26, 2012Submitted by rlw on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 09:46
In her first week on the job, Skoogie picked mac and cheese with a kale salad. We ate it the other night so that we would have a photo for the blog. After eating her salad and first helping of macaroni, I thought she was done and cleared things off the table….but I was wrong! Another bowl was downed! She earned her first week as Assistant Meal Planner with that meal!!
Skoogie's other meal request this week is cheeseburgers and bean salad. It was interesting to decipher what she wanted. I heard loud and clear that it needs to be GREEN beans. I thought maybe a pickled three bean salad might be worth a try. But told Pete I wanted to check to see what Hannah had in mind. The other night while we were eating dinner I asked her what she wanted to do with the green beans and I KID YOU NOT, she said, "I want pickled green beans." Spooky!!! But exciting at the same time, because maybe that means there is a greater chance of her eating them! We'll let you know.

As I've mentioned previously, we receive a monthly winter food share through the Food Farm a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). One of the things we get are potatoes. Believe it or not, my dilemma is that potatoes are not a favorite vegetable of my kids. Some are beginning to sprout and need to be eaten! As I was thinking what we could do with them, Potato Skins came to mind. Who can resist cheese, bacon and sour cream??!!??

Kenny's Tip of the Day - Distort That Bass!!
This is one of those tricks I discovered many many years ago and I've used it on almost every record I have produced or mixed since. Whether it be metal, rock, pop, pop/rock or even some lighter adult contemporary music.
Why? Because it works. Tremendously. A word I don't often get to use. :)
One of the battles producers and mixers face is getting clarity in the bass. Especially the bass guitar. Almost every other instrument focuses their frequencies in the mid-range.
Whether it be the vocal, electric guitar, piano, snare drum or the attack of the kick drum. This is where the "top end" of the bass guitar sits. So it's a very crowded area in our mix.
The usual solution is to boost the mid-range on the bass guitar until you can hear those strings being plucked thru a very dense production. But most times, it either doesn't cut thru enough, it makes the bass sound thin or anemic or it isn't the kind of bass sound we're going for.
Unless it's Ska or Punk, you probably don't need to hear those plucking dirty strings. You just want more clarity. So you can not only "feel" the bass but you can also hear the bass part. Especially if it's doing something interesting. Like NOT following the chords or the guitar part. (That's another topic)
So in walks distortion. Adding distortion to the bass or more specifically to the bass guitar does something very different. It ADDS frequencies that don't exist. And if it's set just right, it will add those frequencies in the area that brings out the clarity in the bass part. You can now hear what's being played without making the bass sound thin and brittle. It adds just the frequencies we need.
Now. It's very important that you do this in the correct way. If you just slap a distortion plugin on the bass, you will probably lose all of that great low end that you worked so hard to attain. So I would definitely avoid using it in a serial wiring system.
What I would recommend instead is to use it in parallel. In other words, duplicate your bass track, treat one of those tracks with a nice amount of distortion that brings out those nice mid-range notes, then bring the other track back in and mix them together.
I usually wind up blending them in a 70/30 split. 70% direct bass sound and 30% distortion. But this is going to depend heavily on the distortion plugin and the preset sound chosen.
But adding distortion to the bass is one of the quickest and most seamless ways of bringing out the notes being played while still keeping your thunderous bass, in tact.

I hope this message finds you well. Kenny Gioia.

Tout Doit Disparaître
Nasri Sayegh
The Beirut Art Residency Project Space is pleased to present Nasri Sayegh's solo exhibition 'Tout Doit Disparaître' on Wednesday May 30th from 7-9 PM.
Sayegh's new work – made between 2017 and 2018 – features his ongoing manipulation of personal and found photographic archives.
Sur le vide papier que la blancheur défend / On the blank sheet of paper that whiteness defends.
Stéphane Mallarmé
Upon a blank page, followed by a deafening silence, echoes a calling of emptiness.
In response to Mallarmé's fear of the blank page, Sayegh uses his medium to revel in his fascinations, improvisations, and the glory of uncertainty.
Throughout Nasri's practice, his resulting images are troubled, obscured, and consistently imperfect. They incur an imminent threat of obliteration; leaving them anxious, adrift and lawless. In Tout doit Disparaître, Sayegh attempts to provoke the image and defy it with a pair of scissors and a needle.
With his series "Résidu(s)", the artist destroys images drawn from his collection of personal archives and reassembles them to reconstruct his own history. With his personal excavation, Sayegh unravels the thread of his stories using his mnemonic instincts. By fragmenting each image and repurposing the collateral, he unearths new forms of visual data. The entre-image (in between-image) or presque-image (almost-image) ineluctably renders the negative portrait of the artist.
The exhibition also includes "Relique 26,569", a delicate canvas stitched by the artist using white thread. Following the traits of a performance, he embroiders tirelessly using monochrome colors to emphasize on the pixel-like stitches and how they intertwine. Gestures relentlessly repeated - often in a sort of creative trance - strive to print by hand these pixels that obsess him.
A third work, "Stèle - Pour Rimbaud" predominates the right wall of the space deranging perspective, medium, and color in the artist's quest to invent a meta-image - before everything disappears.
In the distance, a child smiles solemnly. We are on the island of Cyprus. The scene takes place on April 1983.
About the artist;
Nasri Sayegh (b. 1978) is a visual artist based between Beirut and Berlin. Nasri's practice navigates between words, images, and sounds. After graduating with a degree in French Literature from Université Saint-Joseph in Beirut and at Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris, he pursued his theatre studies at the École Supérieure d'Art Dramatique de Paris. As an independent actor, he has most notably been directed by Jocelyne Saab, Christian Merlhiot, Jad Youssef, Roy Samaha, amongst many others. Performances he has acted in include The Poet, directed by Ilya & Emilia Kabakov, The Speakers Corner of Hamra Street by Saâdane Afif as well as Rabih Mroue's Zero Probability.
Sayegh had a debut solo exhibition in 2016 entitled Beyrouth, Peut-être at the gallery of the Institut Français in Beirut. He was awarded a second solo exhibition No Photos Please at the Institut Français a year later as a result of the distinguished photographic prize of Photomed. In addition, he participated in Unravelled, a group exhibition at the Beirut Art Center in 2016. Nasri's work originates from a desire to extract personal, often private, histories within the framework of fetishised memories.

As quickly as Sodastream International Ltd (NASDAQ:SODA) finally gained some strong interest from the market, the analyst community smashed the stock with downgrade after downgrade. The company continues to under promise and over deliver, with results beating expectations quarter after quarter. The stock, though, has plunged $18 in the last month and now trades at less than its growth rate that has been reaching over 30% lately.
The company is a leading manufacturer of home beverage carbonation systems sold at major retailers around the world with a primary target of growing in the Americas where soda usage is significantly higher than in Western Europe. The stock recently surged as traders thought The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) or PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE:PEP) would make an offer. As that theory has unraveled lately, analysts and the media have started hitting the exit button, providing yet again another attractive entry point.
The stock has historically traded at sub-growth rate multiples for various reasons, whether from the company originally reporting in Euros or the current focus away from adjusted earnings. The question is, whether the stock will reach multiples compared to its historical and projected growth rates, or will it remain at a cheap valuation that appears crazy.
Several darling stocks have lower expected growth rates, yet trade at massively higher valuations. As an example, both Noodles & Co (NASDAQ:NDLS) and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (NASDAQ:GMCR) trade at higher multiples, yet offer lower growth rates.
Analyst downgrades
After huge gains in early May, both Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan downgraded the stock with price targets around $70. At the time, it stopped the rally in the stock momentarily until the buyout rumors helped shoot the stock up to as high as $77.80.
Now, another analyst and a media outlet have turned sour on the stock, sending it back to very cheap valuations for an exploding growth stock. First, on July 9, The New York Post claimed neither The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) nor PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE:PEP)are interested in buying the company. Second, on July 12, Oppenheimer cut the rating on the stock down to "Perform," apparently on thoughts that earnings could be volatile for the rest of the year. It previously had an $85 target on the stock that it removed.
Talk about a couple of news items with no apparent value to any long-term investor yet destructive to the stock in the short-term.
Substantial positive guidance
The key to investing in Sodastream International Ltd (NASDAQ:SODA) or any other stock is understanding the potential so that an investor can react when news damages the stock price.
The company provided updated guidance for 2013 in the Q1 2013 earnings report that should've attracted investors to prices much higher than the current level. It guided towards revenue surging 27% above the $436 million reported for 2012. More importantly, the adjusted earnings were targeted at 27% above the $50 million reached last year.

We had to take a trip up to Best Buy in Appleton today to get a new DVD player. Our 5-disc changed fried on us a few weeks ago, and Henry has been asking for his movies on a daily basis (mainly the one of all the animals at the San Diego Zoo - go figure) so it was time. By the time we got back to town it was almost nap time, so we stopped for a quick bite at McDonald's, and the boys had a picnic on the porch when we got home.
I just love how little Henry looks sitting at the table in this big chair! I tried to get him to smile for the picture, but he would only give me his cheesy smile. Darrin thought bribing with a french fry would work, but that just made Henry want the french fry. LOL! Duh! ;)
It's hard to believe he has gotten this big already. It seems like he was just born! Pretty soon it will be time to move from high chairs to boosters at the restaurant (and at home). Ugh. I'm not sure I'm ready for all of this growing up!

Elizabeth Huston has been fascinated by contemporary art since she can remember. She grew up on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula, a surprisingly culturally active area. The daughter of two professional musicians, she watched in awe as her parents took her to incredible events with throat singers, experimental art installations, and 1990s cutting-edge electronic instrument technology. Eizabeth's parents were the founders of the first-ever youth symphony in their town, and a teenage Elizabeth was often tasked with administrative duties including mailing marketing flyers, making copies, organizing refreshments, and creating room schedules, sparking an interest in production work. Elizabeth arrived in Philadelphia in the summer of 2010. Here she met a dedicated art patron merely by chance. He invited Elizabeth to attend the many Philadelphia Fringe Festival performances that he was interested in. She saw performances by Pig Iron Theater and Lucinda Childs Dance, among many others, which showed how projection, costuming, lighting, and staging can change how you interact with performance. Elizabeth immediately began to think about how what she had seen could be applied to music performance, with its traditionally stuffy and plain staging. In 2012 she created A Change of Harp and launched her first concert series which explored what composers saw inside their heads as they wrote. Elizabeth interviewed six local composers about six pieces for solo harp and created visual accompaniments for each piece based on what they had said. This resulted in a performance of dance, projection, theater, and harp which took place during the Fringe Festival: the festival which had so inspired her. The success of this performance made Elizabeth understand that she had touched on a need in the community, and she began exploring other performance styles, putting together multi-media solo harp showcases all over the city. She has since started the Arcana New Music Ensemble in collaboration with Bowerbird, produced numerous shows that explore new stagings of contemporary music, started a brand new harp program for Play on Philly, started a summer harp program for inner city youth, and teaches through her private studio. Elizabeth currently resides in Los Angeles.

'red-hot focus'
Hurricane Irma
Hurricane Irma walloped parts of southern and western Florida this weekend, devastating the Keys and riding up the Gulf Coast as a category 4 storm. The most powerful hurricane ever formed in the Atlantic "destroyed a quarter of the homes in the Florida Keys and badly damaged many more," according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, and left 30 dead in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, as well as 37 in the Caribbean. It's still not clear, as the Sun-Sentinel reports, "how many casualties Irma caused on the Keys."
Elsewhere in the state: parts of Miami flooded after getting lashed with 100mph winds and lots of rain, and Jacksonville experienced "the worst flood in a century," according to its mayor. More than 6 million people were without power after the storm had passed through – about one-third of the state's population. "In a state built on air conditioning," as the Associated Press reports, power outages endanger lives: "eight patients at a sweltering nursing home died," in Hollywood, Florida due to the heat.
North Korea – the world's most dangerous game of chicken
On Monday, the UN Security Council "unanimously adopted a US-drafted resolution to impose new sanctions on North Korea," according to CNN – the strictest measures yet against Pyongyang, which aim, according to an anonymous US official (cited in that same CNN report), to "cap North Korea's oil imports, ban textile exports, end additional overseas laborer contracts, suppress smuggling efforts, stop joint ventures with other nations and sanction designated North Korean government entities." The resolution, adopted just a week after North Korea's sixth – and most powerful ever – nuclear test, was described by President Trump on Tuesday as "just another very small step, not a big deal." He went on to claim that "those sanctions are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen" – a vague assertion troubling to some in the international community, considering those 'fire and fury' comments he made weeks ago. The resolution had originally included a full oil embargo against North Korea, but was revised after China and Russia expressed doubts.
At an intelligence hearing on Tuesday, "frustrated U.S. lawmakers called for a high-powered response to North Korea's nuclear tests," arguing that the US should sanction Chinese banks and companies that do business with North Korea, as a way of pressuring China into choosing sides.
On Thursday, US and South Korean militaries confirmed that North Korea had launched a missile over Japan last Friday, "trigger[ing] sirens and warning messages in northern Japan but caus[ing] no apparent damage to aircraft or ships." This was the second missile launched over Japan in less than a month, "a serious act of provocation" according to Japan's chief Cabinet secretary. In response to the launch, South Korea fired a missile of its own.
At the National Review, Victor Davis Hanson wonders what would happen if the roles were reversed, and South Korea acted like North Korea.
At Lawfare, James W. Davis uses behavioral economics to lay out one possible framework for a deal between North Korea and the United States.
This week in Russia
According to a report in The Hill, Trump's campaign team has started providing documents to Robert Mueller's special counsel office – the first confirmation, as that same report observes, that the Trump campaign has turned over documents to Mueller.
CNN reports that former Gen. Michael Flynn "has refused a new request to appear as a witness before the Senate Intelligence committee." This is not Flynn's first refusal to comply with the investigation into the links between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence: in May, Flynn refused to comply with a subpoena issued by the Senate – which he did again recently, after the subpoena was reissued. Flynn was also subpoenaed by the House Intelligence Committee and, in a letter released publicly on Wednesday, two Democratic congressmen, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland and Rep. Eliot Engel of New York reported that Flynn's former business associates "told lawmakers that he traveled to the Middle East in 2015 as part of a private proposal to build nuclear power plants across the region" – more information that Flynn had failed to disclose before taking a job in the Trump administration. Flynn's son has also come under investigation, as NBC News reports: "the inquiry into Flynn is focused at least in part on his work with his father's lobbying firm, Flynn Intel Group."
Some of Trump's lawyers this summer pushed for Jared Kushner to step away from the administration, "worry[ing] that the presence of Kushner…created potential legal complications for Trump, while the probe threatened to limit Kushner's ability to perform his job." Trump's current White House legal team has pushed back against the report – Ty Cobb, the lawyer charged with directing Trump through the Russia investigation, "blamed the disclosure of the internal debate on former White House staffers seeking to tarnish Kushner," thought he refused to say whom.
Take a look at this POLITICO report detailing the Office of Government Ethics's recent decision to reverse its policy to allow "anonymous donations from lobbyists to White House staffers who have legal defense funds."
As the various investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 election have begun turning a 'red-hot' focus on digital warfare – Russia's two-fold strategy of influencing public opinion through social media, and hacking polling software – the Trump administration "moved to ban the use of a Russian brand of security software." The software, produced by Kaspersky Lab, is used by "at least a half-dozen federal agencies," and is being removed due to Department of Homeland Security concerns "about the ties between certain Kaspersky officials and Russian intelligence."
On Thursday, Russia officially kicked off its Zapad – or "West" – war games, which NATO officials say is larger than publicized, "numbering some 100,000 troops, and involve[ing] firing nuclear-capable ballistic missiles." As Reuters reports, some US officials, including Gen. Ben Hodges, the head of the US Army in Europe, "have raised concerns that Russia might use the drills as a 'Trojan horse' to make incursions into Pland and Russian-speaking regions in the Baltics."
Bonus round:
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court blocked a ruling by a lower court that would have required Texas to immediately redraw congressional and legislative districts previously ruled to be gerrymandered along racial lines.
Also on Tuesday, the Supreme Court "granted a Trump administration request to continue to bar most refugees under its travel ban." The decision overturns "a federal appeals court ruling from last week that would have exempted refugees who have a contractual commitment from resettlement organizations from the travel ban while the justices consider its legality."
The White House confirmed on Tuesday that Hope Hicks, the president's longtime aide, would be named the new communications director.
On Wednesday, Bernie Sanders (I-VT) released his "Medicare for All" bill – "his attempt to push single-payer health care." He also wrote an op-ed about it in the New York Times.
After last week's successful deal with Democratic congressional leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi – affectionately dubbed "Chuck and Nancy" – President Trump tried it again: at a working dinner Wednesday night with Schumer and Pelosi, "the president reached a tentative agreement with the Democratic leaders: The young undocumented immigrants known as 'dreamers' would be allowed to stay in the country in exchange for a border security package that does not include funding for Trump's wall." The deal gave hope to those still hoping Trump will emerge as the bipartisan dealmaker he at times promised to be on the campaign trail, but profoundly alienated supporters who'd expected Trump to make good on his oft-repeated promise to "build the wall." It also confused a lot of people, as The Washington Post's Ashley Parker observes.
On Thursday the House of Representatives passed a $1.2 trillion budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1. The bill, which passed largely along party lines, contains "many controversial elements" – including big spending increases on security – that won't fly in the Senate, where it would need 60 votes to pass.
According to a memo leaked to Buzzfeed News's Chris Geidner, the Trump administration is "warn[ing] employees across the entire federal government about the dangers and consequences of leaking even unclassified information," and requiring every federal department and agency to hold a one-hour training session next week on "unauthorized disclosures."
California legislators are debating whether to "approve the most ambitious clean energy goal in the country: 100 percent clean energy by 2045."

Composer John Debney (Sin City, Passion of the Christ) may seem an odd choice to score a film about a horse trainer, his precocious daughter, and their quest for the Breeder's Cup, but he rises to the occasion with a rousing piece of recycled Americana that's sure to bring a lump in the throat to even the grumpiest moviegoer. Like Mark Isham's similarly predictable score for the 2004 hockey drama Miracle, Debney represents the best of the genre, utilizing a not-so-subtle blend of soft pianos, warm strings (courtesy of Indiana-born violin wunderkind Joshua Bell), and patriotic brass motifs to paint a rural backdrop reminiscent of both Aaron Copeland's "Appalachian Spring" and The Natural-era Randy Newman.

today is a bright and shiny new day. i just finished another book and feel really good. who knows what lives we touch just by being who we are (good or bad). it's an interesting concept.
the kids are really enjoying watching UP. it seems so sad at the start, and then having to explain why the couple did not (could not) have a baby. why the baby's room is empty and why they are sad.
new moon was really good. better than i expected. i thought it was a lot truer to the book than the twilight movie. but i really LOVED the twilight book and was less enthused over new moon. but i am re-reading new moon, i wonder if it's one of those books that reads better at a different time.

Troigs were a sentient species that was native to the planet Pollillus. They had two heads which each head has its own personality and temperament. Both heads share the same awareness, therefore they were very alert and observant. They are a very clever and curious species, able to learn many languages and have produced plenty of great scientists. Both heads of a Troig have individual names but they can be combined for clarity. For example, the great podracing announcer Fodesinbeed is an amalgamation of the two heads, Fode and Beed. Fode and Beed provided commentary on the sport in two different languages.[1]

A New Sim Joins the Enchanted Family!
I have some exciting news! Some of you may already know about the new addition to Enchanted, but I'd like to go ahead and make the announcement official :) We now have a new sim adjoined on the north side of Enchanted where the dark forest is located. The sim itelf is Elven Mist and it contains another wonderful forest built by Andrek Lowell called, Bewitched, formerly known as Bentham Forest. Lauren Bentham, who integrated her creations with Andrek's build, was the original owner of the sim. She decided to sell it and contacted me to see if I might be interested in purchasing it...and here we are :) If you've never visited this sim before, you are truly missing out! It is a haunted, dark forest full of beauty, whimsy, spooks and frights! In order to get the full effect of the sim, you need to set your environment to midnight at the entrance. I did a blog about Bentham Forest in my other blogger, here is the link:
There is also a great youtube video about the sim:
I hope you all are able to visit soon. When you arrive at the entrance, you'll be offered a landmark, notecard, url to this blog and a group invitation. Please come and enjoy!

animal motifs while New Jewelry remaining subtle. Animal themed jewelry may be made from small, closely-set gemstones, from enamel or other materials such as gold or other precious metals. Enameling became sophisticated Idolra Watches and popular during the Art Nouveau era, when jewelry had natural forms and flowing lines. During this time, enamel was fashioned into Fashion Designer Watches very realistic looking animal.ReplyDelete

Technology That Should Exist By Now
Back in the day, what did you think life would be like in the amazing Buck Rogers space-ray year of 2014? Would there be commercial flights to Mars? Robot butlers doing all your household bidding? Flying bicycles? Unfortunately, the present has answered all those promises of the past with a resounding "eh, not so much."
Today's reality has fallen far short of the world that science fiction told to expect. Don't get me wrong, we have a lot of technological wonders all around us. We can access the entirety of human knowledge from machines that fit in our pockets. We have touch-operated computers thinner than pencils. We have Roombas, GoPros, and smart utensils. All very cool stuff!
But if you take a walk around, things don't appear that much different than they did 20 or 30 years ago: There are dudes wearing flannel shirts and jeans, people waiting at (non-flying) bus stops, and not a single genetically resurrected dinosaur to be found.
What kind of reaction do you think you would get if you told someone in the 1970s that Apollo would represent the high-water mark for manned spaceflight? Or that we still burn coal as a fuel source? Or that cars still have blind spots? There's a lot of things that were supposed to happen, but didn't pan out.
While some of these technologies do indeed exist in some primordial form, they are hardly ubiquitous parts of the crazy future world foretold by decades of books, movies, and TV. Here is a short list of some of our biggest disappointments in the big dumb non-future world of today.
Get ready to be disillusioned.
1 Needleless Injections on a Mass Scale
2 Plentiful Non-Fossil Fuels
3 Life in Space
4 Universal Digital Health Records
5 Digital Voting for All
6 A Cure for the Common Cold

Ever since a summertime visit to my mom's house, Sam has been begging for a puppy. Shortly before our arrival, she had adopted two darling Labradoodle puppies, Mia and Mystique. Sam could hardly contain his joy over the fluffy little creatures. I suspect he would have smuggled one home in his bag if he could have. Since coming back home, Sam has regularly persisted in asking Mike and I when we can adopt a puppy. We've taken him for visits to the local shelter to see dogs and donate food, but we haven't made the big leap yet. I don't know if we can resist much longer though! Mike and I are not on the same wavelength when it comes to size. Mike wants a big active dog that he can do training runs with. I want a dog that's basically a glorified baby. Ha!
Mike and I had a dog, Martha, before Sam was born. She passed four and a half years ago. We recognize that having a pet in the family is a big responsibility–there's food, daily exercise and grooming and routine medical care. With our dog, we learned firsthand that pets can be good at hiding pain and that you might not notice the symptoms of serious health issues until they become big problems. Martha was an older rescue dog that had advanced cancer but hid the pain very well. In my work with Royal Canin, I've learned (and was surprised!) that the same instance of hiding pain can be true with dental diseases.
In fact, 85% of dogs and cats over the age of one have a dental disease. It's also been linked in studies to serious health issues such as heart disease. Thankfully, regular and thorough annual exams with a vet can identify the disease before it's severe.
I love their infographic "There is no Tooth Fairy for Pets." A veterinarian's exam can help diagnose dental diseases and then they can prescribe a treatment plan. Treatments can include brushing, a dental cleaning or a dental pet food diet. Head over to Royal Canin to receive a $10 rebate on Royal Canin Dental pet food.
Join me for the #DentalPetFacts Twitter Party!
RSVP now to the #DentalPetFacts Twitter Party on Thursday, February 26 at 8pm. We'll be talking about pets and dental health. There are 16 prizes to be won including 11 Visa gift cards, plus fun, pet related prize packages! RSVP HERE so I know you're joining me. 🙂

Iris N. "Nery" Hames Santiago, 55, of Webster, formerly of Worcester, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 4th, 2018 with her sister by her side. She is survived by her 6 children, Jose R. Perez, Arlene Perez, Gricel J. Perez, Antonio Casteleiro Jr, Jasmine Rivera, Alexander Rivera; her mother, Irene Rodriguez; four sisters; Carmen Ortiz, Carmen Santiago, Maribel Santiago, Zoraida Rodriguez; four brothers; Jose A. Ortiz, Luis Ortiz, Jose Ortiz, Angelo Santigo; 12 grandchildren whom she loved dearly. Iris was predeceased by her father Angel Santiago and her brother Wilfredo Ortiz.
Iris was born in Puerto Rico and spent much of her childhood in New York before settling in Worcester to start her family. She was an amazing mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend. Iris loved spending time with her family. She cherished "family adventures" where she was able to capture her favorite moments with her "photography skills." She had an unmatched love for animals especially cats and dogs. Iris was the most humble, selfless person.

Just A Few Reasons Why My Coaching Sells Out Every Time
Most business coaches nowadays are great at giving advice as to how to build an amazing business.
Very few however, have built more than one successful business in different online arenas.
More often than not it's simply the one coaching platform that they operate from.
Through Join Up Dots and my other businesses, I have created many business successes and the reason that they have succeeded is quite simply two things:
Watch The Video And Find Out
"Why Online Business Is Simple"
I find what people want and then go out and find the customers that want that thing.
It really isn't much harder than that
Below are just a few of the income producing businesses that I now operate every month and of course you can do the same too….you just need to know how.

Excerpt from Modern Sofas That Put Beauty At The Core Of Your Interior Decor :
The Kintsukuroi‐sofa is a attractive nice example in that sense. There's a−lot to take‐in. The irregular−shape of the backrest, the pointy lines of the armrests, the golden lines that resemble cracks stretching across the sofa are all details which together make this a stunning statement piece in‐conjunction with focal‐point.

Fermented hot sauce is the bomb, in so many ways – explosive heat, delicious flavor, and yes, it's good for you too, full of enzymes, beneficial lactic acid bacteria (i.e., probiotics), vitamin C and, in this recipe, beta carotene too. In traditional cultures, all hot sauce was made through fermentation. Why? It's a natural way to preserve fresh food as the lactic acid produced is strong and protective, and prevents any bad bacteria that can kill us (like botulism) from developing. Did you know that some of your beloved classic American hot sauce brands are still made this way? Both Tabasco and Sriracha are fermented with the time-honored fermented hot sauce formula: chillies + salt + time. Tabasco is aged for 3-years in whiskey barrels; I highly recommend you read the story of this product, as it's pretty cool.
I'm partial to fruity, flavorful, hot chilis like habañero and Scotch bonnet (they're cousins, with a similar fruity taste, but Scotch bonnets are slightly sweeter). You can find habañeros almost everywhere, and I recommend choosing orange, red, or yellow for this recipe, as their fruitiness is more developed. Scotch bonnets are harder to find, but just head to any Caribbean neighborhood grocery (the neighborhoods of Bed-Stuy, Prospect Lefferts, Flatbush, and Crown Heights in Brooklyn are a sure bet) and you'll find these babies. These are hot peppers, usually 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville units (how the hotness of hot peppers is quantified). By comparison, the legendary ghost chili averages 850,000 and 1 million Scoville units. Which is basically a bell pepper, compared to the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion which has a whopping, literally face burning heat rating of 1,200,000 – 2,000,000 Scoville units.
For most of my hot sauce recipes, my method is to create a flavorful, balanced heat that allows you to really taste the flavor of the hot sauce by combining hot chilies like habañero or Scotch bonnet with flavorful medium-hot peppers such as cayenne, jalapeños, Fresno or Holland chilies.
Fermented hot sauce is made with chilies + salt + time as a base. Then comes the fun part of making it your own and adding flavorful additions. I like to add garlic, some veggies to boost color, flavor, texture, and nutrition (for this recipe it's carrots and onions), and in this case, I'm adding fruit as well because sweet peaches taste so, so good with Scotch bonnet peppers.
Let's get started. Here's the overview of the recipe.
Turn your broiler on high. Peel the onions, cut the grimy carrot ends off, halve the peaches, but leave all everything else whole. Place the peppers, onions, carrots, and peaches on a baking sheet and broil till blistered and softened. PUT ON GLOVES. Remove the pepper stems (they should pop right off), and then puree the chilies with salt, and your creative additions: a little unrefined cane sugar, the garlic, the roast onions, carrots, and peaches. Pour this mixture into a mason jar and cover with cheesecloth or a kitchen towel. Let sit for 3 to 5 days at room temperature. Check on day 3: is it a little bubbly? Does it taste good? Don't let it free ferment (without an airlock) too long or it can start tasting too funky and off-putting.
For extra funky fermentation, you can use a starter culture such as fresh whey reserved from making cheese, raw milk yogurt or milk kefir, or a packaged starter to inoculate the chilies with extra beneficial bacteria, which makes for a speedier and more funky fermentation. But this is not necessary. If using, add this starter culture when you puree the mixture.
A note on that white stuff that might form: chili peppers, like cucumbers, are prone to the formation of Kahm yeast, which is a benign yeast with a dusty white appearance. Kahm is often confused for mold, but, unlike mold, it never takes a fuzzy appearance and typically appears like a thin and dusty film on surface of the fermenting chilies. It also lacks any aroma, while mold will typically smell acrid. If fermenting for more than 5 days, keep your ferments in a tightly sealed jar, fitted with an airlock, will help to prevent the formation of mold.
Total time: 40 minutes | makes approximately 2 quarts or 32 x 2-ounce hot sauce bottles
:::: Ingredients ::::
3 pounds fresh chili peppers (½ lbs Scotch bonnets, 2 ½ lbs Fresno, cayenne, or jalapeno chilies)
2 carrots, roughly chopped
1 large spanish onion, roughly chopped
4 fresh peaches, halved
6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar or maple syrup, optional
2 teaspoons unrefined sea salt
If using vegetable starter, dissolve in ¼ cup water, or use ¼ cup fresh whey
1/4 cup lime juice (juice from about 4 limes)
1 cup apple cider vinegar (real, fermented vinegar, such as Bragg's)
1 oz bourbon
:::: Instructions ::::
THE PREP (You've already done this part above)
Turn broiler on high.
Place chilis, carrots, onions, peaches on a baking sheet and broil until blistered and soft, about 20 minutes.
WEARING PROTECTIVE GLOVES, remove the stems from the chilies, and roughly de-seed (don't go crazy, a few seeds are fine).
Combine all these ingredients with the garlic, sugar, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend until desired texture is reached, adding water as needed to make a thick, pourable hot sauce.
Spoon this paste into a glass mason jar, placing a fermentation weight (or a ziplock bag filled with cold water) on top to make sure that all the bits and pieces are submerged in the brine, and allow it to ferment, covered with a cheesecloth or towel, at room temperature for 3 days. You can stop here and proceed with bottling, or you can put this mixture into and airlocked jar (see here for an example), and let it ferment in this controlled environment for 3 weeks.
After the chili paste has fermented to your liking, place in a blender with the vinegar, lime juice, and bourbon. Blend until combined, and ideal texture has been reached (some like it chunky, some like it smooth). If you want a really smooth hot sauce, you can strain this mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
Pour the sauce into jars or bottles, and store in the refrigerator. The sauce should keep for a year or more. How do you know if it's gone bad? When it gets moldy or tastes extra funky (i.e., gross).

K. Walsh from EmergingEdTech published an article "10 Emerging Education and Instructional Technologies that all Educators Should Know About (2012)" recently online. In his article, Walsh selected 10 emerging technologies that all teachers should know about in 2012. Here is his list:
- The Flipped Classroom
- The Apple iPad and other tablet devices
- Smartphones
- The Gamification of Education
- Emergence of free online courses and the move towards providing credits and credentials for them
- 1 to 1 and BYOD initiative
- Student Response Systems, polling apps, and other synchronous tools to increase interaction and engagement in both online courses and ground courses
- Cloud apps for file storage, notetaking, and more
- OER (Open Educational Resources)
- Learning Analytics
I think Walsh did an excellent job of selecting these emerging technologies. I agree with all of his selection. However, I would add two more to the list:
- E-Books
- Augmented reality
I think e-books and augmented realty have a good potential and will make a great impact in learning.

"China is currently our second largest market. I believe it will become our first," Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) CEO Tim Cook said back in 2013. "I believe strongly that it will." Cook reiterated that sentiment in late 2015, saying, "Our view is that China will be Apple's top market in the world -- and not just for sales." The chief executive was referring to the rapidly growing developer community in China, which ties into its broader ecosystem.
For a few years, the trajectories of Apple's U.S. business and China business supported this prediction. Nowadays, it's hard to see that prediction ever coming true.
Slipping further behind
In the two years following Cook's initial prediction, Greater China revenue put up some massive gains and was indeed rapidly catching up to the size of Apple's domestic sales. Here's the company's revenue in both markets over time, presented on a trailing-12-month (TTM) basis to smooth out seasonality.
In fact, Q4 2015 (shortly after Cook reaffirmed the prediction) turned out to be the closest Greater China TTM revenue has gotten to catching up with U.S. TTM revenue, lagging by just over $20 billion. However, in the years since, Greater China revenue has pulled back in a big way while sales in the U.S. continue to grow.
Currently, Greater China TTM revenue is about $52 billion behind U.S. TTM revenue. China continues to slip relative to the U.S., with the difference growing larger every quarter.
Can Apple bounce back in China?
On the earnings call last month, Cook noted that Apple now has over 2.5 million developers in China, which would represent more than 10% of the company's total developer base. Apple said at WWDC last summer that it had hit over 20 million registered developers. What's less clear is how many iPhones Apple is selling or how large its installed base in China is. The latest third-party estimates from IDC suggest that iPhone unit sales in China fell 20% in the fourth quarter.
Of course, there's no way that Cook could have foreseen some of the company's recent challenges in China, most notably the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China that has hurt both economies. The quality of handsets made by local Chinese rivals has also improved considerably in recent years, intensifying competition.
That's not to say that Apple can't bounce back in China in the long term. But in the short term, there doesn't seem to be any end in sight to the Mac maker's China woes.
Check out the latest Apple earnings call transcript.

"There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)" is a song performed by British musical duo Eurythmics. It was written and recorded by band members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart for their fifth studio album Be Yourself Tonight (1985), and features a harmonica solo by American singer Stevie Wonder. The gospel-influenced song was released as the album's second single during the third quarter of 1985 (see 1985 in music) and became a worldwide success; most notably in Ireland, Norway and the United Kingdom, where it became the duo's only chart-topping single to date.
Ever since the record has been covered by several musical artists, including Brittany Murphy, Fantastic Plastic Machine, Leningrad Cowboys, Luciano Pavarotti, Kylie Minogue, Jessica G. Pilnäs and, most noticeably, German pop group No Angels who scored their second number-one hit in Austria and Germany with their interpretation for the reissue of their album Elle'ments in August 2001.

Boyle's Law
Boyle's Law describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas — the pressure exerted by a gas held at a constant temperature varies inversely with the volume of the gas. For example, if the volume is halved, the pressure is doubled; and if the volume is doubled, the pressure is halved.
Pressure exerted by a given quantity of gas decreases when the gas is allowed to expand and occupy a larger area — reflects the pressure changes that occur with expansion and contraction of the chest cavity.
Stated as a formula:
P1/V1=P2/V2 (at constant temperature)
V1 = the original volume, V2 = new volume, P1 = original pressure, and P2 = new pressure.
Boyle's Law:
If volume is halved, pressure is doubled;
and if volume is doubled, pressure is halved.
Henry's Law
At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
Solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
Example: Soft drinks — before the can of carbonated soda is opened, the gas above the drink is almost pure carbon dioxide at a pressure slightly higher than atmospheric pressure. The soda itself contains dissolved carbon dioxide. When the can is opened, some of this gas escapes, giving the hiss or "pop". Because the partial pressure of carbon dioxide above the liquid is now lower, some of the dissolved carbon dioxide comes out of solution as bubbles. If a glass of the drink is left in the open, the concentration of carbon dioxide in solution will come into equilibrium with the carbon dioxide in the air, and the drink will go "flat".
What you use Henry's Law for: to calculate the concentration of a gas in solution under pressure.
p is the partial pressure of the solute in the gas above the solution,
c is the concentration of the solute and
kH is a constant with the dimensions of pressure divided by concentration
The constant, known as the Henry's law constant,
depends on the solute, the solvent and the temperature.
Henry's Law:
The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional
to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
Charles' Law
The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.
Charles' Law (aka the law of volumes) is an experimental gas law which describes how gases tend to expand when heated, assuming that pressure remains constant, the volume and absolute temperature of a certain quantity of a gas are directly proportional.
Temperature = Constant x Volume or
Volume = Constant x Temperature or
Volume/Temperature = Constant
At constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature on the absolute temperature scale (i.e. the gas expands as the temperature increases).
Charles' Law:
As absolute temperature increases,
volume of the gas also increases in proportion.
Dalton's Law
Dalton's — used to determine the individual pressures of each gas in a mixture of gases.
The pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures of all of the constituent gases alone.
Dalton's law (also called Dalton's law of partial pressures) states that the total pressure exerted by the mixture of non-reactive gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of individual gases.
PTotal is the total pressure of the atmosphere,
PGas is the pressure of the gas mixture in the atmosphere,
PH2O is the water pressure at that temperature
Dalton's Law
Pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum
of pressures of all of the constituent gases.

Hey guys,
This was my first cycle using CLOMID. I ovulate on my own but I'm using the drug to help mature follies. I took the CLOMID 3-7 of my cycle. No side effects. On CD 13 I had a +OPK. My wife and I started at home insemination with our donor on CD7. We inseminated April 30th, May 1st,4th,5th,6th and 7th. Yesterday morning CD14, before leaving to spend the weekend with my mother, we inseminated in the AM. Last night around 5pm I had O pain on the left side. I always have O pain, but this was intense. It wasn't unbearable, but painful enough to take Tylenol. It lasted about 45 minutes. I was happy cause we inseminated that morning, I know that sperm should be waiting on the eggy. However, 30 minutes after the pain in left side stopped, the right side started hurting. This HAS NEVER happened before. I have a very regular 28 day cycle. I usually always ovulate between 13-15CD. My question is, should I be alarmed? Should we inseminate again this evening or is it too late? Has anyone else ever felt this type of O pain? Any information would be helpful. Thanks a bunch!
