Roasted Butternut Squash, Chicken and Parmesan Risotto
Happy Wednesday everyone! It's so weird to say that I'm actually a CA resident.
- Range Rovers seem to be the vehicle of choice around this town. They are EVERYWHERE making my Honda Accord look really sad! We like to see how many of them will pull up along side of us at each stop light.
- The women really do dress up to go to the grocery store. It's funny that I poke fun at my header with the high heels, but it's really true here!
- Awesome Produce is available and I can hardly wait to map out some farmer's markets around town. I just found the BEST Whole Foods Market. I am going to have so much fun there!
- I LOVE having the beach 10 minutes away. This will cure any bad day, I'm sure of it.
Even though it feels like we're just vacationing and I'll be returning home to AZ soon, I'm looking forward to all the adventures we come across here in this peculiar little fancy town.
Here's my first recipe out of my new CA kitchen. I love risotto, this one is warm, wintery and delicious. Don't be afraid of the butternut squash, it is to die for when roasted in the oven. Click HERE and HERE to see how to peel and dice one up, it's really easy and a great vegetable to introduce to the kids, they'll think it's a carrot! Hope you all enjoy!
2 Cups fresh butternut squash, diced into 1/2 inch cubes (see links above to properly dice one)
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Lawry's garlic salt with parsley
1 Tablespoon butter
12 oz bag Arborio rice
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
4 Cups chicken broth
1/2 Cup fresh grated Parmesan Cheese
2 Cups cooked chicken, cubed
1/4 Cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 thin slices prosciutto, julienned for garnish (you can also substitute crumbled bacon for the prosciutto)
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place squash, olive oil, salt and garlic salt into a large bowl; toss to combine and pour onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
2. In the meantime, melt butter in a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Stir in rice and onion; cook and stir for 5 minutes, until onions are softened. Stir in garlic for 1 minute. Stir in ½ Cup of chicken broth, stirring constantly. As the broth gets soaked up, stir in another ½ Cup until broth, continuing this process until broth is used up and rice is cooked. Then stir in Parmesan cheese, chicken and parsley. Stir in butternut squash right before serving.
3. Garnish each bowl with a pinch of prosciutto and a sprig of parsley if desired.
6 servings
We had to take the boys to the beach our first night, it was freezing, but they loved it!
Have a great week everyone! I'll be back with some more quick fix weeknight meals, I gotta lay off the sweets for a while, but not for too long!

If there's one thing that Internet and Affiliate Marketers can't get enough of, it is tools & shortcuts. Every process that can be automated gives us more time to focus on being creative and the next big idea. A good friend of mine launched his own set of tools this week, and it is called SiteSnatcher. I immediately signed up and gave it a test run, so I thought I would share my first impressions.
The first tool I tried was the Blog Commentor. When you are trying to get a new site indexed and get some link juice to it, one of the easiest ways to do that is to comment on related blogs using your URL to link back to your site. The Blog Commentor will take any keyword that you choose, such as "golf", and come up with a bunch of direct links to the posts that you can comment on. It also has a built in iFrame so that you can just load the blog inside of SiteSnatcher, submit your comment, then hit "Next" and it loads the next blog into the window. This makes the blog commenting process a breeze, you can knock out 100 comments in short order.
Next I tried out the Site Targeting Tool. This is designed for PPC guys that are looking for specific sites to target for the Content Network in their niche. One of the best ways to make the Content Network profitable is to site target instead of just letting Google do it for you. This can be a tedious process of searching for sites in your niche that are running AdSense so that you can target them. This tool does it all for you. Simply put in your keyword, hit go, and it will grab anywhere from several hundred to 1,000 sites in your niche that AdSense on the page. This can also work as a URL scraper for finding sites to target with PPV.
One thing I will mention is that you need to wait a little bit for the results to come in. These tools are doing real-time scrapes of lots of data, so when you hit go it can take anywhere from 10-15 minutes to see the full results. It is all designed to run in the background, so you can set a couple different tools to run, or just work on something else and come back later.
The pricing is based on how much you want to use it. On the basic package, you get 50 "credits" per day. As you see in the screenshot above, the Site Targeting Tool take 25 credits to run. You can run it (or any other tool for 25 credits) twice per day on the basic package. I think it's a cool way to test it out without spending a ton of cash. If you start using it a bunch on a daily basis, then you can get a bigger package with more credits.
All in all I think that this is definitely going to turn some heads. I don't recommend products or services very often on this blog, so take it from me, this is a solid service that is only going to get better. If you do PPC on the Content Network, or PPV, or if you do any type of SEO including the EPN / McJiffy / BANS method, then SiteSnatcher is a tool you will want to check out.
P.S. If you click one of the SiteSnatcher links above, you will go through my affiliate link. If you don't want to use my affiliate link, just go to http://sitesnatcher.com.

Piecing Together the New York Mets' PuzzleNovember 26, 2009
The holiday season is among us, and the Major League Baseball 2010 free agent market is open for business. So it's time to do some shopping!
Today's list features the presents that Fred Wilpon, Omar Minaya, and the rest of the New York Mets front office should be trying to give to their fans to unwrap this coming season.
The biggest gift Mets fans would like to see under their tree this year is ace right hander Roy Halladay. And while the Mets do not seem to be the top contender for the Doc's services in 2010, it could make sense for them and the Blue Jays to get a deal done, as Mike Silva of the New York Daily News writes.
The Mets certainly do not have the prospect depth that teams such as the Yankees, Red Sox and Angels might have. But what they do have is payroll to play with, and if they would agree to take on the hefty contract of Vernon Wells, that could reduce the trading cost of Halladay, as Silva suggests.
Wells is in the midst of a seven-year, $126 million contract signed after the 2006 season. And while the 30-year old outfielder may be losing his range as a center-fielder, he still has enough pop to be an everyday left fielder, something the Mets are certainly in need of for 2010. He's no Matt Holliday. He's no Jason Bay. But a prospective outfield of Vernon Wells, Carlos Beltran and Jeff Francouer for 2010 doesn't sound too terrible.
Nor does a rotation that starts with Johan Santana and Roy Halladay. This move would fill two holes in one swoop. And given the Mets' downfalls the last few seasons, the team's front office would do well to make moves that could impact the team immediately, not down the road.
Not signing Bay or Holliday would allow the Mets to go fill other holes, such as a set-up man as well as a catcher. Bengie Molina has been rumored to be CitiField-bound, and could be a cheap option for one or two years.
So with the need for another starting pitcher and a power-hitting left fielder, and with money to spend, Halladay and Wells to the Mets seems like a logical fit. Perhaps Halladay would come to New York in a sleigh dressed as some over-sized man in a red suit, singing Jingle Wells along the way.

Homily 183 – 1st Sunday of AdventNovember 27th, 2011, by Fr. Shawn P. Tunink
The Resolve to Run Forth
Jesus tells us over and over in the Gospel today to "watch." This is our attitude for the season of Advent. Just as the new translation of the Mass is causing us to have to watch carefully the words we use and pay attention, so we are meant to pay closer attention to our spiritual lives this Advent. This watchfulness of Advent is not a passive sitting back. Rather, the collect of today's Mass prays that we will have "the resolve to run forth" to meet Christ at his coming.
Advent recognizes two comings of Christ. The obvious one is the coming of Jesus at Christmas. Yet, these first weeks of Advent urge us to prepare for a more important coming, the return of Jesus in Glory. This anxious expectation gives Advent and the Mass a sense of direction. We are not sitting around idle waiting, rather we are on a mission. May this season of Advent increase our resolve and an eagerness to welcome Christ at his coming.

"Maybe it's our behavior,
That we bend the facts to fit our self-image,
perpetuating a view of ourselves,
that is often more positive than accurate.."
(~Sam Sommers)
You see, when it come to career, I've always interested about "attitude" & behavior, just trying to understand my career more. And, this is another honest reality-based post, taken from various resource. I've noticed that various people doing those "self-deception" about their career. In fact, those "self-deception" can be used to make ourselves feel better, but sometimes it can cause problems.
Accompanied by denial, rationalization is used to justify things we do that we know are wrong. To sum it up, it is the way we allow ourselves to avoid facts. But, I think, rationalized are made so ourselves can feel better about a choice or decision at work, even deep down, we knew it was questionable.
The Better-Than-Average Effect
Have you ever involved on "Performance Appraisal" process at your company? If you ever done it, then you'll notice that most people usually think they're better or more than average, or having more than satisfied performace, etc. Let's be honest, how many times have you thought to yourself, "I'm better than my co-workers."?
Illusions of Control
It's like that we convince ourselves that the randomness of life doesn't apply to us. Others may be unable to manage their own workload, but somehow we think we can. Many workers think that if they do their job well and stay 'under-the-radar' at work, then they should be able to keep their job as long as they want it, a controllable job security. Do you think your hard-working efforts on-the-job ensure a job is yours for as long as you want it?

Yesterday, we noted that the website for where WWE RAW is emanating from on Nov. 14 is noting that Mick Foley will be returning to the company on that night. While that looks to be all but confirmed at this point, WWE typically does not look fondly of leaked returns/storyline plans, so don't be surprised if the company decides to have him return at a different point in order to play the Internet. It does look like his return will be on that date, however.
In addition, PWInsider.com reports that Foley will also be booked for the RAW and SmackDown! broadcasts the week after the Survivor Series pay-per-view on Nov. 21 and Nov. 25.

On Tuesday, America's Got Talent's Sharon Osbourne took to her Twitter and sent out a tweet to fellow judge Howard Stern that caused million of AGT fans to start freaking out.
"My darling @HowardStern," Osbourne wrote to Stern. "Money is not the reason I'm not returning to @nbcagt, it's because..."
And that's all she wrote! So we went directly to the source during an AGT press junket, and after a lot of beating around the bush and comedy acts from Stern and Howie Mandel, we finally got a (sort of) straight answer.
"I would never leave you," Osbourne gushed to Stern during an interview with E! News. "That's why we're going to CBS to have a late night talk show together."
She's joking. We hope. But the jokes didn't stop there.
"You're going to stay with AGT. I'm going to American Idol with Mariah Carey," Stern quipped.
Finally, good ol' Sharon stopped yanking our chains and confirmed that she will stay on AGT for now. "I will be here today, tomorrow," she told us before being interrupted yet again by the peanut gallery.
To watch Sharon and Co. dodge the question, and hear how host Nick Cannon celebrated his wife's new $18 million American Idol gig, check out our full interviews!

Back in 2002, the state's county assessor came up with a system called the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) portal that attempted to convert their entire paper system of mapping subdivision, plot, and parcel information into digital files. It made sense to do this because Maricopa County at the time was the fastest growing county in the nation and a digital system could more quickly and accurately allow the state to track, update, and capture parcel information. This had huge benefits. With this system, they could issue building permits more quickly, perform more accurate valuations, and process appeals faster. Also, by going digital, it would allow them to give out public access to the information via the Internet. It would be a win-win situation. So they contracted with Smart Data Strategies (SDS) to implement the system and in April of 2002, GIS was released to the public.
The above image is a screen-shot of the system. You can click here to access the system. When you access the GIS system, you'll need to plug in your house number and street name (name only!). Once you submit that, GIS will pull up your house lot with all of your lots information.
One thing that will be missing from this plot plan is the footprint of your house relative to your plot. Unfortunately, the GIS system does not include this information. You'll have to take some measurements of your back property line to the house and draw it into your final drawing. But at least you'll be able get the critical plot dimension information.
You'll then need to use your software drawing program of choice to superimpose your pool design into the plot plan. For non-computer savvy people, that may be a little more challenging, but for others with some basic software drawing package skills, you'll be able to whip up a pool plot plan drawing in no time at all. And if that fails, you could always fall back on the good 'ol pencil and graph paper method.
Whatever method you choose to use, remember to make sure its neat and its accurate. Your city will be using it to determine whether you are in compliance with city regulations. And if you are still feeling a little apprehensive doing it yourself, you could always contract the services of David or Tish who can whip up a professional pool design drawing for you at the cost of a few hundred dollars. Again, you have quite a few alternatives.
Whatever you decide, know that this is the perfect time of the year to be starting the design/permit activities for your owner-built pool. The cooler weather is starting to slow down the demand for the services of pool sub-contractors across the board, and this is when owner-builders should be kicking into high-gear!

There are five last-time-out winners here but we'll take them all on with RAQEEB. Sparkling Smile and Grey Bunting head the list of dangers. Sir Michael Stoute's charge is a well bred individual who rates much better than the form of his third last time. That qualified him for a handicap mark and we're hopeful connections have found the right race following what was a good effort, as he matched strides with potentially smart Cultivar for a long way before succumbing late on. His debut form has been franked too and we're of the opinion that 77 is a fair mark. Sparkling Smile has rather less questions to answer having landed a pair of handicaps. Clearly he's in grand form but the horse was workmanlike rather than impressive last time and this 4lb higher mark may find him out; perhaps a step up to 1m4f will be the key to unlocking further progress. Grey Bunting is another who will surely stay further although it's hard to crab his winning performance last time, albeit the race wasn't a strong one. Barry Hills' charge is hard to assess as the form of the contest hasn't been tested but the yard are going well. Valiant Knight is interesting up just 2lbs for a ready success at Windsor; he clearly relished stepping up to this distance, in keeping with his pedigree. Mecox Bay was arguably fortunate to win at Folkestone but hasn't been harshly rated by the handicapper and should continue to run well but may find one or two too good, with Raqeeb the pick.

Great tactics for writing fiction
Professional, creative, useful
"Writing fiction" greatest advice linked with character setting. When you set character you have to remember that he or she can't be the same figure at the beginning to the end. He must change, be dynamic and must looks naturally to readers. Set a protagonist, who can't be perfect, easier to reader to follow. How is look like, how is his experience, childhood, relationships and goals. Which factors make him change and what he achieves after transformation. Your protagonist need own personality, even if he is antihero and has bad habits, making wrong decision and has rally dark personality, still must be interesting. Try to set certain voice and vocabulary for your character depends who he is, where he is working and what are his social background.
I listened Joshua Mackey in others e-books written by Ace McCloud ("Spirituality") and Blaine Hart ("Writing Fantasy"). This time his performance is excellent, his voice tone helps you listening actively, writing notes and just relax.
"Writing fiction" by Blaine Hart contains the useful tip to self-assess yourself as a writer. Are you just beginner, advance or expert? What is your audience? How good are your organizational skills, your contact with publishers? Can you attract your audience and make them feel moved by your style? Do they have emotional reactions for your story? If yes, you definitely a good writer. If you fell that you need to improve your skills "Writing fiction" definitely helps you with organize your tools, time and money and be a successful writer.
Hart presents useful technique that exposes tension is "show not tell". Try to make your dialogue vivid, nervous, full of opposite emotions like fear, love or admiration. Show how characters behave, what the scenery looks like, how his feeling and emotions are presented. Concentrate what are main symptoms of emotions, instead of calling emotions straightforward. That really helpful exercises and have a good result.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev tweeted for the first time today as he toured Twitter as part of his Bay Area visit that culminates in a speech at Stanford this afternoon.
He got a personal walk-through of Twitter's San Francisco headquarters from CEO Evan Williams and Creative Director Biz Stone, and Mayor Gavin Newsom even came along for the visit.
Gathering in front of Twitter staff and the press (and a serious cadre of Russian security guards and other security-types with German shepherds in tow), Medvedev sent out his first tweet, but unfortunately for the packed room, it was in Russian.
But his translator came through, saying the message read: "Hello everyone. I am now on Twitter. This is my first message."
Medvedev followed up with a second tweet, praising San Francisco's beauty and saying he was off to visit Apple, Yandex and Cisco in Silicon Valley. You can follow the president on Twitter @KremlinRussia.
Williams said this was "one of the most special days in the history of Twitter."
"We believe that the open exchange of information can have a positive global impact," Williams said.
Williams added, however, that the size of the audience made him realize "that everyone in this company has completely stopped working."
"Disaster," quipped Medvedev.
Medvedev is in town to promote the growth of Russia's own high-tech industry. He is trying to build a Russian Silicon Valley outside of Moscow.
Medvedev is off to Washington tomorrow to meet with President Obama.

Ao no Exorcist
Otakon 2011, Katsucon 2012
I LOVE Kimono. I also really love Shiemi so I really wanted to make her beautiful kimono. There's multiple ways the dye/details/combination of obiage/kimono/obijime, etc on this costume.. so I had to kind of choose which way I wanted to go. I went with the anime version, with the bunny and obijime from the picture on the right.
The most notable detail on the kimono is the dye job, which I lucked out on. I bought the base kimono from Ebay, because I wanted to use really nice kimono fabric, and it would have been the same price as buying fabric and then making the base. So, that made it a lot easier; Though, I think the kimono is just a bit too big for me, so it doesn't always sit correctly. I decided to try to bleach the ends with RIT dye remover.. and surprisingly enough, it worked!! (I tried this again with a different fabric and it did not work) So, I used the remover a few times, and then I dyed the teal color on top. There ended up being a little bit of a water line where the teal and the pink met (and it turned purple). In order to correct this, I went over it again with the dye remover, and then redyed it with the teal again. It turned out significantly smoother!
For the other details on the kimono, I hand sewed on the lace, and the butterflies are store bought iron on butterflies. I decided I didn't have enough time to make the butterflies exactly to detail like hers. I may go back and make the butterflies completely accurate, but I kind of like the ones I picked.
The juban I also bought, and I covered the collar with fabric that I painted stripes onto. I also inserted an eri shin to make the collar harder.
The Obi is attatched in the back with velcro. The fabric is interfaced and there is a layer of batting inside. The drum on the back is attached to the fake obi, and also filled with batting. There are little flowers ironed on to the drum, and it connects in place with snaps. When I wear it, I use an obi makura and a hard plate for the front. The bunny on the front of the obi is made out of sculpey and sculpted by me.
The obiage took a long time. It's a ton of individually sewn squares of each color.
Nii-chan was hand made by me out of a super soft fabric. The darker green color was dyed, and most of the details are hand sewn on
When I wear this costume, it's really warm because I have kimono underwear, a juban and a heavy kimono on top with all the accessories! I also can't walk fast at all
Made in 2011

"St. Christopher", © 1980 Norval Morrisseau/Click on image to enlarge/
Before the 1969 reform of the Roman calendar, Christopher was listed as a martyr who died under Decius. Nothing else is known about him. There are several legends about him including the one in which he was crossing a river when a child asked to be carried across. When Christopher put the child on his shoulders he found the child was unbelievably heavy. The child, according to the legend, was Christ carrying the weight of the whole world. This was what made Christopher patron saint of travelers and is invoked against storms, plagues, etc.. His former feast day is July 25.
Before the formal canonization process began in the fifteenth century, many saints were proclaimed by popular approval. This was a much faster process but unfortunately many of the saints so named were based on legends, pagan mythology, or even other religions -- for example, the story of the Buddha traveled west to Europe and he was "converted" into a Catholic saint! In 1969, the Church took a long look at all the saints on its calendar to see if there was historical evidence that that saint existed and lived a life of holiness. In taking that long look, the Church discovered that there was little proof that many "saints", including some very popular ones, ever lived. Christopher was one of the names that was determined to have a basis mostly in legend. Therefore Christopher (and others) were dropped from the universal calendar.
Some saints were considered so legendary that their cult was completely repressed (including St. Ursula). Christopher's cult was not suppressed but it is confined to local calendars (those for a diocese, country, or so forth). His name Christopher, means Christ-bearer. He died a martyr during the reign of Decius in the third century.
Feast: 25 July (West), 9 May (East);
Attributes: tree, branch, as a giant or ogre, carrying Jesus, spear, shield, as a dog-headed man;
Patronage: bachelors, transportation (drivers, sailors, etc.), travelling (especially for long journeys), storms, Brunsweik, Saint Christopher's Island (Saint Kitts), Island Rab, Croatia, Vilnius, Lithuania; epilepsy, gardeners, holy death, toothache.

I ordered this cover for my husband for Christmas, and he couldn't wait to wash his Highlander and try his new cover. He was very pleased with its fit and easy handling. We happened to have an unusually warm day and heavy winds the day he put it on, but it withstood the winds with no problem. Hopefully, it will be as good at handling other damaging elements.

An Eclectic Gastronomy of Sound
As an addendum to my post the other day on Vinyl Museum, here's some memories of the other store I mentioned, which was called Ye Olde Record Shoppe.
Ye Olde was owned by a 60-something year old woman named Irene. She was the sole owner as well as the sole employee. Perhaps not too flatteringly, but with no ill intentions, my friend Steve used to refer to the place as "Ye Old Lady's Record Shop". The small store was a unique outpost in a world of chain stores in malls and hip independent shops with big selections (like the aforementioned Vinyl Museum). Located in a small strip mall between a pawn shop and liquor store, the selection was mostly used vinyl, with a small selection of used CD's added eventually (and grudgingly) due to demand.
Irene would order any new release for you that she was able to get, but as a rule she didn't order much new unless it was specifically requested. This was before the Internet (and even if it was nowadays, I doubt she would have had a computer) and I remember her leafing through thick paper catalogs to find any special request one might make.
She would sit at her counter – an old desk pushed up against a table, which formed one side of the little square area where the CD's were shelved. They were kept at the front because they were easier to steal, based on their small size. She could better keep an eye on them there. Weirdly, she occasionally had delinquent kids grab handfuls of CD's and run out of the store so they could try and sell them somewhere else (probably at Vinyl Museum). Anyway, Irene would sit there drinking coffee and chain smoking all day, listening to records on the old turntable. Though there was usually nobody else in the store when I visited, she had a solid, core clientele of collectors and a revolving stock of quality titles and artists. Her records were fairly priced and usually in top notch condition.
If you came in at the right time, you never knew what you'd find. Once somebody had just dropped off a box full of guitar records issued on the old Takoma label by Leo Kottke, John Fahey, and Robbie Basho. Some of these things were really rare and all were in great condition. She knew what she had, and she could have marked them up and got a lot of money for them from any number of the regular collectors who visited, but she priced them all under $10.00. Intrigued by the cover art of the Basho records (who I hadn't heard of at that point), she handed me the headphones and cued up The Grail and the Lotus on the record player. I immediately purchased all three of the Basho albums. It was just another of the many musical discoveries I made there over the years.
She had definite musical tastes and was generous in sharing them. A discussion of the solo works of Fleetwood Mac members resulted in her making me a cassette copy of Jeremy Spencer's first album from her own vinyl copy. That album is still a treasured part of my collection and still criminally out of print. She was not one to let her musical opinions be overshadowed by business concerns either. One day, I brought a CD of Phil Collins' fist solo album, Face Value, up to the counter to buy. She tried her best to convince me not to buy it because she said I would be wasting my money and I'd never listen to it more than once. I still think Face Value is a good piece of work, but I'd probably agree with her about most of Phil's other solo albums.
With this off-the-grid, non standard business philosophy she managed to stay in business for at least 10 or 15 years (and maybe longer – I'm not sure when she first opened). Her devoted customers kept Ye Olde Record Shoppe afloat, though it must not have been easy for her financially. A good chunk of my records were bought there over the years, however, and I'm happy to say I contributed to such a unique and special music oasis. As with Vinyl Museum, she closed up shop in the early 2000's. Last I heard (over 10 years ago now), she was running a mail order record business out of her home but had health issues.

Stories like this tell me a lot about who we are, and especially bring to the fore how times change. I remember spending time in this record shop, and have many great memories about music, opinions, and the moment in time that is largely disappearing, or gone (by this I mean a real record shop). Downloading is an efficient method for delivering music, but there is something really great about the ambiance; the smells, sounds, and people who were The Ye Old Record Shoppe.
I went to the Ye olde record Shoppe all the time. In the early 80's she had a husband that helped her there. Before she closed in 2001, she told me her sight was failing and good vinyl was getting too hard to find anymore. When I showed up she would always put on Frank Zappa. She was great. I miss her and that shop.
I used to visit Clearwater regularly from Atlanta. Being a record freak, I'd visit all the shops while I was in town. I love Ye Olde Record Shop and Irene. Such a nice person who knew her music. Bought several Love/Arthur Lee records, along with many others. I also liked Blue Moon books and records. They had an awesome selection of vinyl, but sold most of it off toward the mid or late 90s. I miss all the great record stores. But I have a lot of fantastic records and memories from those days! Thanks for the post!
I used to shop there in the early 90s. I never knew she'd been around that long. I mostly shopped at Vinyl Museum, Bananas and the Oldsmar Flea Market (Ace's Records). A friend (thanks, Tim Murray!) turned me onto her little shop. She knew her stuff. If I remember correctly she was a bit of a chain smoker. I miss her.

Pancakes are my favorite breakfast. I love to experiment with different pancake recipes and cover them with various combinations of tasty toppings.
I've found that I need a hearty breakfast to power up and fuel me for the day. If I don't have a good mix of carbs, protein, and healthy fats right when I wake up, I end up eating more and feeling hungry all day. What works best for you?
Made to Eat Tip: To make it easy in the mornings, make a huge batch of pancakes at one time (I multiply the recipe and fill up my griddle) and then freeze them in individual portions. Wrap the pancakes in parchment paper and put them all in a large plastic bag in the freezer. In the mornings, simply grab a portion out of the freezer, heat, and top! When I run out after a few weeks, I do it again and experiment with other recipes to mix it up.
This recipe for grain-free pancakes from Against All Grain has long been my go-to recipe. And I've tried a lot of pancake recipes! It's gluten-free, grain-free, and dairy-free. I mush a whole banana in the batter (rather than placing banana slices on the batter while its cooking), although they're great without banana as well. I leave out the honey and chocolate chips, so it's sugar-free, too! However, recently I found out I need to avoid almonds for awhile so I've been experimenting with new recipes and will share my favorites soon.
It's all about the toppings in my book. To make the pancakes a little more filling and to add variety, I top my pancakes with healthy fats, protein, and fruit. Berries are usually my go-to, but I also love to use seasonal produce — peaches, figs, and so forth.
To provide some inspiration to get creative with your pancakes, I've included some of my favorite topping combinations. I start with this pancake recipe and then go to town with yummy, healthy toppings!
– Berries, Cacao Nibs (or chocolate chips), Ground Flax, Chia, or Hemp Seed, Cinnamon, Nut or Seed Butter.
Slather on a hearty portion of your favorite nut or seed butter then throw on the rest of the toppings. Garnish with a generous portion of cinnamon. Made to Eat Tip: Use frozen blueberries and raspberries to save money. I simply throw them on top straight from the freezer. They're so small that they thaw fast. I also switch up the nut butters – my faves are cashew, sunflower seed, and peanut butter – to keep it interesting.
Made to Eat Tip: If you're on the go, spread some nut/seed butter and banana slices between two pancakes and eat as a portable sandwich. It's a healthy option to traditional breakfast sandwiches!
What's your favorite pancake topping? Want more inspiration? Check out my GF/DF Breakfast Pinterest Board for over 120 recipes!

Back in the Spring of 2006 two lads and two lasses got together and decided to open up Seoul's first Irish pub and restaurant with a goal of delivering ice cold beer, strong drinks and great food in a friendly, energetic atmosphere. Four and a half years later in December 2010 we opened a second location in Haeundae, Busan with the exact same premise in mind.
The Food: Back in 2006 we hired the ex executive chef Mark Sumpter from the Intercontinental hotel to set up our menu and train our kitchen staff. This ensured that perfectly grilled steaks, award winning burgers, top selling fish & chips, succulent Irish sausages and made from scratch sides and dressings became the standard. All of our food is created from scratch with only the highest quality-freshest ingredients. For example, we use a higher quality beef for our burgers, not just the cheapest beef available. We also use fresh local chicken breast for our sandwiches and salads and not mass produced frozen chicken. And we use real potatoes to make our mash, not instant mix. We know all these "little" things cost a bit more but we (as well as many food reviewers) believe that you can taste the difference.
The Party: But we aren't just about the food. Our parties and weekend nights have become legendary. Join us any Friday, Saturday or Sunday , whether it be in the afternoon or at night, and we'll always have the best entertainment in Itaewon. Fridays are acoustic night, Saturday the DJ keeps the atmosphere upbeat and people tapping their toes and dancing by playing a wide selection of oldies, rock n roll and the latest top 40 hits. Sundays are for the Irish in all of us with 'Sunday Sessions' – live traditional Irish music. See our Facebook page for the latest events and updates.
The Slogan: Come for the Food. Stay for the Party.
And sometimes it's just the little things that make the difference. We take pride in providing the little things like strong drinks, (guaranteed by our No Bullshit Pour Policy®), no extra charge for water, and no extra taxes or service charges.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe - E3 2008: Developer Combat Walkthrough Video
It's the legendary video game franchise duking it out with the legendary superheroes from our childhood, and here's a developer combat walkthrough from this year's E3 event. We get a nice look at some gameplay - with the added commentary, of course - and fans of either MK or DC should be happy with what they see. And by the way, that rumor flying about that the game would be rated "E" for Everyone really isn't true; there will be plenty of blood in this bad boy. Fighting games aren't the driving force behind the industry the way they used to be, but this is a next-gen nod to days of yesteryear. And we have absolutely no problems with that, provided the final product doesn't sully the good name of MK or DC...

Youth Camp Provides Thrill of a Lifetimeby Chris Pinkert / St. Louis Blues
HAZELWOOD - Jack Bystrom had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
The 11-year-old played a hockey game Friday at the official practice facility of the St. Louis Blues, and lo and behold, there was Head Coach Ken Hitchcock behind his bench, calling out for him to make a line change.
No, this wasn't a dream, at least not in a literal sense. It was the annual Blues Youth Hockey Camp, which all but fulfills the dreams of young hockey players hoping to one day become NHL stars.
For an entire week, 85 children of various skill levels participated in the camp, which was held daily at the Ice Zone at St. Louis Outlet Mall. Through on-ice and off-ice activities, campers learned the basic skills of the game, the importance of teamwork, accountability and more. In addition, campers got to tour the Blues practice facility, including the locker room, gym, offices and media interview areas.
Blues Chairman Tom Stillman talks with a camper Friday during the final scrimmages of the Blues Youth Hockey Camp, which was held at the Ice Zone at St. Louis Outlet Mall.
It's an experience that none of them will likely ever forget.
"I think the big thing here is these kids are dreaming about playing in the NHL at some point," said Sean Ferrell, the camp's lead instructor. "To be in a facility like this, have current NHL coaches and former NHL players come out and share some of their experiences, it helps foster that dream a little bit more and puts a little extra energy and smiles on these kids' faces."
Throughout the week, campers met Hitchcock and Blues TV analyst Darren Pang. In addition, they received on-ice instruction from former Blues Reed Low and Bruce Racine, and Blues Chairman Tom Stillman showed up Friday to help out behind the bench for the final scrimmages.
Hitchcock, who has conducted practice sessions with several college hockey teams in the past, said he enjoys working with players of all skill levels.
"It's so funny because the coaches spend all week on passing the puck, using each other and team play," Hitchcock said. "(But) as soon as you drop the puck, it's every man for himself. Nothing has changed. And I know it drives coaches nuts, but the kids are having fun…man were they having fun today.
"They were having the time of their lives."
Bystrom would agree. He started out as a forward, but recently decided to become a defenseman, and he feels there's no better place to make the transition than the Blues Youth Hockey Camp.
"I think this is really fun," Bystrom said. "I think it's a good experience for kids. It's really fun, it's active and it makes you a better hockey player."
"This has been amazing," added Matt Wilson, a camp instructor. "Just to see how much enjoyment (the kids) get out of the sport, just seeing their faces light up when they get to be out here with these instructors and (Blues) alumni…the overall experience is more than I could ever ask for."

Securing your Android phone or Android tablet is more involved than adding a PIN lock (although you should certainly do that).
Here we run through 14 ways you can keep Android secure, from dealing with app permissions to locking down apps, dealing with Android viruses and tracking down a stolen phone.
- Screen lock
Setting up a screen lock is the simplest way to protect Android when your phone or tablet falls into the wrong hands. These days you can set a PIN lock, pattern lock, password lock and, if your device supports it, a fingerprint or eye scanner lock. It's so easy to do you really have no excuses. Head to Settings > Security > Screen lock to get started.
- Lock individual apps & media
You can add an extra layer of protection to your apps by locking down those you really wouldn't want to get into the wrong hands with an app such as App Lock. Not only does this let you toggle on and off a PIN lock for individual apps such as Facebook and Gmail, but it has a safe fault for hiding photos and video that shouldn't be seen by prying eyes.
- Keep the OS and apps up to date
Android‑ and app updates don't just bring new features, but also bug fixes and patches to safety vulnerabilities. You should safeguard your apps are set to auto‑update over Wi‑Fi in Google Play's Settings > General > Auto‑update apps menu, and make sure you have applied any new operating system updates in Settings > About Phone > System updates.
- Don't download apps outside Google Play
By default your Android phone or tablet won't let you side load apps from wherever other than the Google Play store, but it's easy to get around this in Settings > Security > Device Administration > Unknown sources. Google has no control over apps outside its app store, so only those who really know what they're doing should even think about side loading, and doing so only from trusted sources.
- Manage app permissions
A benefit of downloading apps only from Google Play is that it will tell you which permissions an app requires before you install it. There is often a good aim for apps needing access to seemingly unrelated facilities on your phone, such as games that want to view your contacts (to allow you to compete against your friends) and messaging apps that want to access your camera (to allow you to send picture‑ and video messages). However, if you can think of no reason for an app needing a particular authorization, don't install it.
New in Android Marshmallow is the ability to manage app permissions and control what an app can and can't do on your phone even after you've installed it. Should an app need a permission you haven't granted, it will prompt you ask for permission before it does its thing. You'll find App Permissions in Settings > Apps > App Permissions.
- Set up user accounts
Since Android Lollipop we've been able to set up multiple user accounts on tablets, and more recently on phones. If you are going to be sharing your device with another family member, a colleague or a friend, you can give them access to only the parts of your Android that you are willing to let them see. Set up user accounts in Settings > Users > Add User.
- Be careful what information you share
We've often complained that people are sharing too much information on social media, such as publicizing the fact they are going abroad for a week on Facebook and leaving their home vulnerable to burglars (don't do that), but with Android you may find you're sharing too much information with yourself. Android uses the Chrome browser, which you may well also be using on your laptop or desktop PC. The ability to sync your bookmarks, passwords and more through a Google account (which is also tied and automatically logged into your email‑ and other Google accounts) is an awesome timesaver, but it could become an issue should you lose your phone or tablet or it gets into the wrong hands. All your logins, passwords and sensitive data within your emails will be available to whoever finds your Android device and knows where to look for that stuff.
You can control what data (particularly passwords) is stored by Chrome by launching the browser, tapping on the three‑dot icon at the top right of the window, and choosing Settings > Basics > Save passwords. Also open the Settings menu in Chrome, tap on your account, and then choose what data is synched.
Don't forget Chrome's Incognito mode, which allows you to browse the web in privacy and won't track you. Open a new Incognito tab from Chrome's Settings menu.
- Set up remote tracking and wiping
Android Device Manager is an excellent tool for tracking down and, if necessary, wiping a lost or stolen Android phone or tablet. It's a free app for your phone or tablet from Google Play, but can also be accessed on any web browser in which you are signed into a Google account.
- Consider device insurance
Following on from the last tip, should your phone or tablet go walkies you don't want to find yourself out of pocket. Given that some devices can cost over £600, it's worth considering device insurance if losing your phone is something you tend to be rather good at. Insurance 2Go offers smartphone insurance from £5.99 per month.
- Back up Android
It's not just the fact that our data might get into the wrong hands when our device is lost or stolen that it worrying ‑ it's also the fact it will no longer be in our hands. Backing up Android is vital, and in doing so you can tie everything to your Google account rather than a piece of hardware that could break at any point. Backing up Android also means things such as your photos and videos are accessible through any web browser signed into your Google account, and that next time you buy a new phone you won't have to manually download and install all your favorite apps.
- Dealing with Android viruses and malware
Android viruses are few and far between, and you're more likely to find yourself in trouble by clicking on a dodgy link in Gmail or a text message and giving away too much personal information than you are to download a dodgy app. But it is possible. Some people like to install an antivirus app such as Lookout, Avast or AVG Free, but we're not yet at the point where that is strictly necessary and usually all you need do to avoid Android viruses is to stick to downloading apps only from Google Play.
- Use secure Wi-Fi
Smartphones and tablets are mobile devices, which mean we are as likely to use them in a cafe or pub as we are our own homes. Provided free Wi‑Fi is available, of course. Just don't fall into the trap of jumping on to an unsecured wireless network just so you can take advantage of a free internet connection when out and about – whoever is providing that 'free' internet connection may be taking a great deal more from you in return.
- Encrypt Android
Those wanting to secure their Android device will more than likely have spotted the encryption option in Settings > Security > Encryption. This scrambles all the data on the phone – apps, media and more – until you put in the decryption password, which you will need to do every time you turn it on. Encrypting and decrypting your data takes time, and for the majority of people it's an unnecessary step that will simply slow things down. However, if your device contains extra‑secure information, it's a possibility you might like to consider.
- Use a secure messaging app
Where do your text messages go once they've left your phone, and can others snoop on them? That all depends on the service you are using.
As of the beginning of April, popular instant messaging service WhatsApp now offers end‑to‑end encryption. Another secure messaging app often cited is Signal Private Messenger, which allows you to chat freely with your friends without its server being able to access your communication or data.

No. Well, not unless there are adequate gaps between the existing elf header sections. You might be able to make every program use libthread.so by replacing the libc.so (that the dynamic linker finds) with a stub library that has .NEEDED entries for the real libc.so and libpthread.so.

We recently published a Booz & Co. list of the world's biggest spenders on R&D. There were 8 pharmaceutical companies in the top 20 spenders and 4 in the top 10, but none at all in the list of the most innovative companies, which focused on the return on that spending.
It is simply an incredible task to find a drug candidate and get it approved. The following list, culled from the FDA, and The Pharmocological Basis Of Therapeutics, focuses only on the middle part of the process.
It ignores the years of research or flash of insight involved with coming up with an idea in the first place, and a clinical trial and approval process that has an incredibly high failure rate, and can take 10 years and cost more than a billion dollars.
Once a drug target is identified, molecules have to undergo literally thousands of changes in an attempt to make a safe effective drug. A change that improves one of the below factors can have a huge effect on another. After all of that comes extensive animal testing, then long, costly, and risky human trials. More complicated newer drugs (biopharmaceuticals) involving antibodies and proteins have even more issues.
It's a miracle when any drug makes it out of the laboratory, let alone one that gets approved and becomes blockbuster. Here are just some of the attributes a small molecule has to have to be considered an acceptable drug candidate for clinical testing:
Potency (nM)
A measure of a drug's activity relative to the amount required to produce it.
Cellular penetration
It has to be able to get through a number of cell membranes.
Drugs have to be specific to one of hundreds of particular biological targets, otherwise it could have other side effects.
How much of the drug is absorbed by the body.
The amount of the drug that stays in a body over time. Is their a big peak that can be toxic? Or does it it quickly dissipate and have to be taken several times a day, which can be impractical.
What does the drug break down into and do those new compounds have other effects?
Drug interactions
How it interacts with other medications.
Basically, what the drug does to the body, what changes it makes, how long they last, and how they happen.
The ability to dissolve and be picked up by the bloodstream
How well the drug dissolves in fats. Determines how well it penetrates cell membranes and the brain if necessary.
Bigger molecules are harder for the body to absorb and are more likely to be toxic to the liver.
Target organs Does it actually get to the organ it's supposed to target?
Formulation outlook
Things don't just come in a form that can be put in a capsule or formed in a tablet. It's often extremely difficult to make something stable and easily absorbed by the body.
Complexity of synthesis (cost of goods)
How expensive the drug is to manufacture
Patentable Whether the drug itself or the process of making it can be patented. Additionally, all of these toxicity and safety measures must be tested and within acceptable ranges: NOAEL (The no observed adverse effect level) The highest dosage at which there's no adverse affect. MABEL (minimum anticipated biologic effect level)
The smallest dosage at which there's a biological effect. Carcinogenic/mutagenic Cannot cause cancer or alter the structure of DNA. Reversibility Do side effects go away when the drug stops being used? QTc Drugs can change the patterns of electricity in the heart, potentially causing instant death in some cases. Hepatotoxicity Liver toxicity Suicidality Whether the drug increases the risk of suicide NOW READ: The 10 Most Innovative Companies In The World

Which college degrees give you the best chances of entering a successful career path after graduation? Concentrating on Bramson ORT College school code, for example, may give you additional focus in the admissions selection process. Check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, course registration deadlines, and college degree program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Bramson ORT College.
Research demonstrates that college freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time. When choosing a major, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will meet transfer requirements of other colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you may be able to take some required core classes in a community college, saving both time and tuition fees.
Look at all the schools in your state first, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. The course catalog will outline which classes are required for a particular major, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain your class standing. Please contact the academic advising staff at the school you are interested in applying to about their specific guidelines. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider Carson Newman College research center for complementary electives to your primary course of study.
