At Sunrise Preschool, where I teach music in the weekday program, we've just shared our Christmas program, "Christmas In Our Jammies" (www.cathysmusic.com) with family and friends. I only see each class once a week for 20 minutes, so we started learning the songs the first of October.
Included in our weekly class, I shared the Christmas story each week from a different author and illustrator. It was really a fascinating experience this year. Even though we read the "same" story, each book had different illustrations and a little different take, it was like a new story every week! As you can imagine, there were comments on every book. After the first couple of weeks, it was clear I needed to have paper and pen to write down the comments.
These precious 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds brought some great comments and questions to the books and conversation. So I share a few with you to ponder in these next few days.
"I wonder what the baby will look like."
"It's the Christmas baby!"
"He looks like a regular baby!"
"Hay isn't soft."
"Did they take all the sheep with them?"
"Maybe Goliath was trying to take the sheep."
"What do you mean 'all around the world?' That's a lot!"
One of the joys for me is knowing the children took to heart the story they were hearing and totally understanding what they were singing about. The joy, wonder and pondering the children brought to the hearing and singing of the Christmas story brings me to pause and remember once again why we celebrate the birth of this beautiful, precious gift to the world.
Blessings, joy and wonder to each of you as we draw near to the Christ Child.

After a disappointing loss and a month of alright but not great performances the Pies need a convincing win to cement there spot as contenders. The big Texan Cox is back which im happy about, so lets see what unfolded.
I walk in to the Balaclava bout ten minutes before the bounce. On the route I was rushing down as I walked past a poster for whats coming up at the Prince Bandroom. I ave to turn around as I thought it said Ween. But it said Weened the Melbourne tribute band. Sigh. I push on. Jackie texts me in advance to let me know that the fucking poker tables are already out, but we got bout four tables pushed together so we/re set, much better than the lounge set up we/ve had the last few weeks. GG John and Jackie are here, while our mate Tim is the new face in hell joining us for the first time who screams go North. Fred and Sam enter with seconds to go before the bounce.
Pamela marks in the 50 within the first few seconds thanks to a brilliant kick from Brownlow. Has a kick from 35 out but hits the post. Krebs kicks to Pamela again but with two Dees on him he falls short of the contest, Sidie smoother the balls as the Dees try and get it out the 50, Pamela is again the target but is pinned, Umpires ball. Fred screams kick him again ya mug hes still breathing, Tim asks if thats an LP title. He reckons it might be a Scorpions LP. If that/s true leave a comment in the section below. Hyphen to Brownlow to Matrix kick is marked by the Dees 15 from our goal Hyphen smoothers the Dees attempt to leave the 50 Matrix picks up but can only manage a minor. Cox butches the ball, Moore is able to swoop in, finds the Samurai, Sam is already drooling over him, as our mate Gordon arrives. THE Samurai finds Hyphen kicks 40 meters to Dole Cheque, hes held and awarded a free Pamela takes advantage and goes fucking bang 8-0. Screwdriver is paid a free finds Pamela, Tim Watson claims Pamela got the ball because his opponent took his eyes off the ball. That/s the smartest thing any of the commentators say all day as speed will become the topic of conversation all day. Obviously not POW Speed as it/s closed. Anyway Pamela shanks it to get this second crucial point Aish holds Jones over the line for a throw in. the Shags is there and i get all excited and hot under the collar. Tim finds my fascination and love with the Shag curious. The Dees finally go 50 for the first time the balls been in ours for six minutes, Matrix is aving none of it and punches the ball out but it lands with the Dees but they only get a minor. Sier lands a good hit 15 from Dees goal, throw up. Barney is hit by Son of rowdy. The commentators mention Max Gawn, and hes described as big bush and something to do with lush, we point out its sounds like masturbating. Lana enters Dees miss from a free. Pies take it up straightaway Dole Cheque beats two finds the Gooster and we blow our load at the perfect time 15-1. Howe takes mark of the year but gives away a free, they fuck up the kick, Dole Cheque again goes 50 Hyphen marks brilliant stuff 21-1. Tim asks is Darcy Moore too pretty to be a great footballer? I ponder this. I ask is there anyone in the hall of fame that you would consider a dreamboat? I found Peter Daicos and spunk. Dess hit the post. They ave another shot dues to a bullshit deliberate over the line but thankfully nothing happens. Pamela kicks to the Gooster but he errors it and leads to throw in. Shag kicks to, well the Shag, finds the Hyphen 45 out, but stoopidly plays on has a kick but touched on the line. Too cocky there my boy. Sidie to Screwdriver Pamela just holds on 40 out, falls short Trav lands a great hit to force a throw in, umps throw lands with the Dees but Sidie holds him, a fucking dribble kick from Cox leads to ball lands over the line . The Dees ave a dribble kick themselves but from 5 meters out he aint gonna miss. If you miss from there I would ave dragged and delisted the bastard.
Quarter Time
Pies 23
Dees 8
Dees go 50 Moore holds ball tight, finds Shag, to which Tim looks at me and says your boy. My boy, I love the sound of that. Again I get hot under the collar I need to run to the bar. My pants might ave moved too. Mr Football Waz enters and the Ransta also joins the table. Dees goal as Shag tried to tackle but was too late Samurai taps to Pamela, Tim says hes the best ruckman hes seen in 50 years. Fred informs me, look at the end of the game Pamelas points will all be crucial to the win. I couldn/t agree more. He demands the sound be put up. Waz says why we need sounds, I say for the stoopid comments. Waz makes the claim if we just want that we should ave Parliament question time on instead. True, but I cant relate to that, wheres if they kick more goals they/ll win I can relate to. Samurai goals, theres six of us to get the high 5s and cha cha chas this is gonna be tough. I think we do a reasonable job but GG aint impressed and only gives us a 3 out of 10. 30-14. Moores on the telly and we all agree hes a gorgeous man. Anyway, specking of handsome, Samurai DDTs a Dee and taken for high Matrix manages to stop the charge has a run finds the Gooster hes being held but manages to soccer it from 15, oh fuck me what a goal 36-14. Hyphen takes an outstanding mark Samurai to Trav back to the Hyphen Speedboy Son of Rowdy no mark Sier runs in and misses. Crisp straight to Dees Sidie to Krebs as GG takes the light out for the first time this season. Dees goal. Great mark from Cox 55 out but Dees take a pack mark just short of goals. BT says that enormous confidence right there. I would ave thought you could ave just said confidence and left it there. Trav to Krebs awful kick but Dole Cheque scoops in amazing 43-21. Samurai to Dole Cheque again and im walking over to hi 5 but I blow my load too soon. We all do as its just a point. Tim Watson claims the Dees need speed. He doesn/t say where they/re going to find it. Certainly not at the POW. It/s at the G, that/s near Victoria Street. Id like to see Watson out there chasing. Cox marks, Hamish says slight linage to Cox, GG says like society. Fred informs me, look at the end of the day Cox Shag Demons. Unfortunate the Sun didn/t ave that as there headline on Tuesday.
Half Time
Pies 44
Dees 23
Half time consists of kick to kick in the carpark. Only one car was hit. I was able to kick a footy while with a fag in my mouth. Hey Bucks can anyone on the list do that? A Cramps dance party happens, and GG decides he doesn/t want to play kick to kick by playing rugby and the only one to score a try, or score at all. Why is it a try? In gridiron when you score it/s a touchdown, that/s inspiring, try is like ah ya had a go. Anyway, Dees miss to start BT says the Dees need a patch whatever that is. Fred reckons they need speed, or a smoker. If that/s the case id be all Australian level. Gorgeous Moore marks and we all cheer for the handsome one. Pamela to Brownlow to Trav. Fred demands I get on to the shoehorn and tell Bucks to decapitate one of the Dees. I do my Ross Lyon voice meaning no one will understand what im on about. Trav kicks to Pamela, John says another crucial point is coming up, hes right. Tim Watson says he needs to find his mind. Maybe he needs my top half of my head, wherever the fuck that is. Finally Pamela gets another goal, GG say his new name should be BFT, ie Bout Fucking Time. BT says hes trying to focus on mark of the year when he shouldn/t. I think he was more concerned taking the mark and if he got a nomination for mark of the week well good on him. Dees goal but you wouldn/t know due to BTs lack of enthusiasm. GG says if they get two more it will be interesting and Fred inform that's why he gets the big bucks. Dees ave a shot as it take that as a piss break. When I enter the CEO Pete is here I ask if they got the goal, Rosie did her best Chewie on the boot. Bless that women. Brownlow kicks from 50 Gooster beats a Dees amazing read of the ball 56-31. Dees get one back and again the commentators ain/t even pumping em up. Speedboy kicks out on the full, Sidie goes sharp from a Dees an amazing soccer from the Hyphen lands another goal, the the Hyphen wins a tap out from the Samurai and gets a two peat 68-37. Fred tells me the Dees goals are peppered while the Dees are saulted. Dole Cheques gets one more to close the quarter again the hi 5s are all over the shop but Sam says that shows passion
3 quarter time
Pies 74
We cut to the great man Barassi. I saw him recently near Fitzroy St, but thought don/t approach the great man unless he speaks to you first. Dees take a great mark, Hamish screams you beauty, as if people will be quoting him in years to come, fucking idiot can/t even think of anything original. As lame as Stephen Quartermains Leo Barry you star quote was, at least its original. Me and Pete take time out to praise the Shag, Pete says it's a safe bet to go to the TAB and bet Pies for the flag and Shag for Norm Smith and Brownlow. What could go wrong? Son of Rowdy runs 30 meters a hell of a run passes to Pamela, ah I think hes found his mind. 84-55. John mentions despite the score the Dees ave not run out of legs and its a credit to em, but also how they/re coming but we/re not giving up the lead. We text Jason to ask if he remembers who the coach is. Me and Pete are also laying the seeds for Awards Night, GG will get best reference and tram tracker and taking the lights out. Speedboy Cox and Hyphen get goals as GGs Loaded fries come out and I raise the Shoehorn for victory.
Game Over
Pies 98
Dees 57
Overall I solid performance, I think we can still play better, and while theres players to come in its gonna be interesting to see whose gonna go. I want Wills back. But they seemed tired so hopefully the week off will do em good. They/ve earned it. Will also be interesting to see how many votes the Shag gets, im guessing 7 votes from this game. As said the boys need a week off but fuck so do we. We really need that camp to get us up for starch for the run home.
Thanks for reading, Onyas

Oreo fans will see Nabisco drop at least three new flavors sometime between now and summer 2017.
I'm not gonna lie, I think there are WAY too many Oreo flavors already and I still like the original the best. But for you more adventurous Oreo lovers…it looks like there will be THREE new flavors coming later this year!
Check out the flavors HERE.

The influence of geometry model approximations on Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation results of the radiation environment on-board the Columbus module of the International Space Station (ISS) has been investigated. Three geometry models of Columbus with different levels of detail and a geometry model of ISS have been developed. These geometries have been used for Geant4 simulations of the radiation environment inside Columbus induced by trapped protons and Galactic Cosmic Ray protons. Simulated dose rates and particle spectra on-board Columbus for each of the three Columbus models, with or without the ISS geometry model included, are presented and compared.
From comparisons of simulated dose rates and particle spectra for the three different geometry models it was found that the most detailed geometry model (750 volumes) produced results similar to a much less detailed model (23 volumes). The most detailed geometry model was concluded to be a sufficiently detailed approximation of the physical Columbus for the purpose of proton induced space radiation studies. The simulated dose rates are compatible with measurements on-board the ISS. The simulation results also show that an increase in shielding thickness decreases the simulated dose rate induced by trapped protons. For Galactic Cosmic Ray protons the dose rate remains unchanged or is slightly increased.

According to the news report by Forbes, a feature that has been long-awaited is now finally being added to Google Maps. However, at this time, this new feature would only be available to certain Local Guides.
Google is soon going to release an AR (augmented reality) feature on its Maps that will be walking-based. This new feature will reportedly first be made available to a few Local Guides, which is Google's community reviewer program. These select Local Guides will act as the first testers for the search giant. Results from these tests will be used to refine the product before its public debut.
The biggest challenge that this product will face is accuracy of the surrounding areas. Navigation services at this stage are still not perfected, with many locations and directions misrepresented. Augmented reality navigation needs to be even more precise for it to work.
To overcome the issues of standard navigation technology, Google Maps AR will not just use location GPS services but also Street View data so that users' cameras are aligned to their exact location.
The Verge gave further details about this new product. During the 2018 I/O Conference, Google debuted its Google Maps AR feature, which would give people directions in real time using their cameras.
The Wall Street Journal's David Pierce was one of the first to try this new product. He stated that this new product was a big step in the right direction for the company.
Pierce gave a detailed description of how the new feature worked. According to him, the Google Maps AR app picked up a person's location using GPS, and then sourced data from Street View to pinpoint a user's exact location. Once a user's location was accurately identified, the app would display large directional arrows and instructions on the phone screen.
Pierce also stated that the app did not allow a person to use the camera constantly. The app would instruct the user to put down the camera for a short time, during which time it would switch back to the regular Google Maps interface.
The leader of user experience at Google, Rachel Inman stated that this feature had been added to the map for instances where a person wanted to decide where they wanted to go next, or simply to get their bearings.
Google has been testing this new app and the company states that there are two challenges that they are facing – users tend to follow a line on the ground too closely and that an animated guide tended to get users to look at the phone screens exclusively. By adding the feature where they are switched back and forth between the AR feature and regular navigation, the app forces users to get their bearings in the real world.
Pierce said that the AR feature that he got to try out could change in the future and that Google had not given any timeline on which this new app would be rolled out to the public. The company said that the product would only be rolled out when it was completely satisfied that it was ready for the public.
Pierce stated that his preview of the new app led him to two key conclusions. The first one was that the biggest advantage of Google Maps AR was that users were provided with very accurate location data. The second conclusion was that this new feature would not remain long on phones, rather they would migrate to AR-capable glasses.
Companies such as Apple, Vuzix, North, Facebook and even Google have been working on the development of AR glasses, so the new Google Map AR feature could soon be available on such products.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I cannot describe how amazing Andrew and his team were! Our work computer was gone past the point of repair! And they guys here salvaged it for the most reasonable price! Don't bother your time looking anywhere else! wishing you all the luck in the future. – Limerick Printmakers – May 2019

Andrew of Mac Repair kept me informed of progress. It was returned to me a few days later fully functional again and looking like a brand new laptop. I can recommend Mac Repair both for their standard of work and their very reasonable charges. – Clive Daniel – Co. Leitrim – May 2019
Great to deal with, great communication. Completed a macbook air screen repair for me. I researched for weeks and they were the best price I could find. The service was great, collected from me and returned in a couple of days. Repair is as new! Highly recommend. – John Boyle – Dublin – April 2019
My 4 year old iMac's fusion drive stopped working I rang these guys up and they quoted me a price for replacement of the hard drive including the Labour and collection and return delivery which is great for me as I live as far west as you can get and it saved me 12 hours in total driving. It was collected and returned in under a week so brilliant service saved me forking out for a new iMac. – Alan Smith – Co. Kerry – May 2019
My experience with Mac Repair Ireland was nothing short of brilliant. My mac is an older model and when it was acting up I thought it's days were numbered. I sent it off to Mac Repair and they confirmed it was the GPU.
I thought older models would just be left on the rubbish tip but they were able to fix it.
They prices are very reasonable, considering they will organise pick up and drop off of your equipment. What I'm saying is, if you have issue with your mac or apple product, call these guys first. Adam Lynch – Co. Meath – May 2019

Excellent service Great to deal with. I've used them several times now and can't fault them. – Donogh Hennessy – Co. Kerry – May 2019
I want to thank all of you technicians especially Chris for taking the time to go through my computer and for being so professional and patient with me. They are mental busy as the only company in Ireland dedicated to Apple computers outside Apple themselves who quoted me a ridiculous price. Had my MacBook Pro collected the next day after speaking to Chris on the phone and returned to me in perfect condition again at less than a quarter of what Apple wanted me to pay. I highly recommend Mac Repair Ireland and will be recommending you to all my colleagues too. Thanks again. Aoife Hayes – Co. Kerry – February 2019
My Macbook Pro would not boot up so i contacted the Galway Apple agent where it came from to be told that they could not get parts as Apple did not make them anymore and i would have to buy a new computer from them as there was no fix. MacRepair arranged pick up and delivery andhad it fixed in a day. Fantastic service great communication and the laptop is working perfectly again. Absolutely brilliant. I would not use anyone else in the future if I encountered issues. Extremely reasonable price too. Thank you all at Mac Repair, keep up the good work. Ian Bradshaw – Co. Mayo – May 2019
Excellent! He solved my problem very quickly, thank you! Esteban Enrique Sandrone – Limerick – May 2019
Excellent and efficient service. Had my MacBook back within 24 Hours and all my software updated. Very reasonable price to repair.Brian Hogan – Limerick – December 2018
Got my MacBook Air repaired here And couldn't be happier. Cost less than half of what Apple quoted me and had it collected and returned within a few days by courier.
Brian rang me every step of the way to let me know what was going on. When the machine came back it was also spotless so they totally cleaned it too that I wasn't expecting at all. Thanks again lads for a great job. Give ye 10 stars if I could – Donal Enright – Kildare – December 2018
Very helpful. Kept me up to date with everything going on and informed me on everything. My laptop is working perfectly now. Would definitely recommend. Justyna Fajkowska – Donegal January 2018
After my iMac refused to boot Apple Support told me to to take it into a local Apple affiliate. They still hadn't even diagnosed the issue after having it a week and a half. I contacted Andrew who arranged for my iMac to be picked up and in a short period the problem was repaired. This was despite the fact that iMacs are only a very small part of the work done by Mac Repair (I imagine iPhones and MacBooks are by far the most common repair jobs). I will never again go to an Apple affiliate for repairs. Outstanding service and I'd give six stars if I could. Liam Foley – Galway – November 2018
So happy with the service here! I spilt water on my boyfriends Macbook Air and took it in to Apple who quoted us €900 (not covered under warranty due to water damage and we don't have contents insurance). So we sucked it up and bought a new one as it wasn't worth the cost of repairing.
My boyfriend then took the water damaged Macbook Air into Mac Repair Ireland who quoted us €250. I've now been using it 4 weeks and it's running perfectly.
If you have been quoted a very expensive repair for water damage at Apple I would definitely recommend bringing your laptop here and getting another quote. Sandra O' Connor – Dublin October 2018

Excellent personal service from Andrew and team. Computer was collected, repaired and returned on-time. Only guy in Ireland who could do the repair I needed. Great aftersale attention also. Highly recommended. John Jordan – Co. Louth September 2018
Great service, Andrew was really helpful and sorted out a few iPad's we had broken. Even more impressive, repaired my iPhone during my lunch break. Quality of the work has been excellent, would not hesitate and have already recommended Mac Repair.
Great to know I don't have to totally freak now when I bust an iPad 🙂John McKee – Limerick – September 2018

Excellent service. From the collection to return, this was seamless. 2011 MacBookPro was essentially dead and Apple wouldn't provide a service option. The MacRepair guys did a fantastic job bringing the machine back to life at a fraction of the cost of what some others offered as solutions. Alan Chute – Dublin – August 2018
Great and efficient service! Highly recommended! Andrew arranged pickup and return of the macbook, very reasonanble, quick and reliable! Anja Koch – Co. Kerry – September 2018
Top marks for this crowd. Saved years of photos from our iMac and made it virtually impossible for us to loose them again. Set us up with a free cloud service to save all the important pictures. Thanks so much again for everything. Andrew de Velara – Co. Mayo – August 2018
Great efficient service, glad to have my MacBook Pro running smoothly again after a complex logicboard and GPU repair. I thought I was in for replacing the machine at great expense but after speaking to the friendly guys at Mac Repair, they gave me confidence to go ahead with the repairs. The unit was collected and delivered and so made the process painless. I would not hesitate to send my Mac equipment to them for any repairs. Thanks guys. Justin Black – Co. Cork – August 2018
Saved me a fortune on an iMac repair. Apple store said I need a new motherboard at over 700e and turned out it was a faulty sensor for the hard drive. Highly recommended. Josie Clarke – Tipperary – August 2018
Hands down the best apple service i have ever received and i've been using the products for over 15 years. They were a life saver! the most patient / honest and resourceful person ive had the pleasure of getting help from for my apple products. never ever going to appple again for servicing. thank you so much. i will be sending all my colleagues to you no matter the location. thank you and god bless you!!! Cian McManus – Limerick – July 2018
My 2011 Macbook Pro went on the "blink" with lots of important material stored on same. My local Apple seller & service advised the computer was too old to repair and get parts for same. In steps Mac Repair Ireland following a phone call, no problem we will have the computer collected and returned as soon as possible. The service is first class even follow up phone call to check if I was happy with the repair.Great service, great attitude I would definitely recommend A1 +++++ Tom Cussen – Clarinbridge, Co. Galway – November 2017
I'm amazed at the level of efficiency and quality of repair that Andrew and Mac Repair Ireland provide. Quite simply the easiest, friendliest and most professional repair service I've ever encountered. Highly recommended and will gladly deal with again. Do yourself a favour – bypass CompuB and head straight to these guys…! Myles O' Callaghah – Limerick City – November 2017
Excellent service. I was gutted when I cracked my MacBook Pro screen. Very friendly and informative from my initial phone call from when they collected my Mac by Fastway on Monday for a new screen. The new screen was original apple part at a lot lower price than quoted by apple, and return to me by 2pm on Wednesday. Super quick and reliable service. Excellent repair job done and returned to me all cleaned and ready to roll. Cant recommend them enough. Thank you." Colm Bruder – Ennis, Co. Clare – October 2017
"My daughters macbook pro had a cracked screen and was covered in lines at the bottom. I contacted the guys and from start to finish the whole process of sending it off to being repaired was 5 star. Communication was excellent, we were kept informed the whole time. When we received the laptop back my daughter was so pleased with the work done, she said it was like a brand new laptop. I would definitely recommend ye to anyone and would have no issue using you again in the future. First class service." Denise Ahern – Kilkenny – August 2017

"Fixed my mbp from liquid damage, quickly, and far more cost effectively than Apple would have done. Great comms, and just really happy with the service overall. Highly recommended, and will definitely be back the next time I do something dumb to wreck my Mac :)." Kevin O' Connor – Ballymahon – Longford – July 2017
"Accidentally spilt orange juice on my macbook which caused it to stop working completely. Found Mac Repair Ireland online and sent it off the next day. Was a bit unsure about sending my laptop by post but very glad I did. Brian kept me up to date and was very helpful with answering all my questions. After a week I got my macbook back and it's fully functioning and running like new! All for a cost of €240, which is way less than what apple would have charged me. Would defo recommend this company to anyone who needs to get their macbook fixed!" Marie Fitzgerald – Killarney – Co.Kerry – June 2017
"I spilt a cup of coffee all over my macbook air and it failed to turn on. I took it into Apple and they quoted me €700 to fix the machine.
I sent the machine to the guys at Mac Repair Ireland and they quoted me €140 and they advised I replace the keyboard which I was happy to do (total was €220). Andrew rang me to say they had cleaned the logic board and that they had fixed the further issues. If that didn't work, they wouldn't charge me. So I was happy for them to go ahead with everything.

"This is how it should be! The Apple store CompuB quoted me three times as much to replace the screen on my 2011 Macbook Air. It's great to see Irish small business circumventing the price gouging of the giant American multinational. Well done lads!" David McCarthy – Limerick April 2017
I had a MacBook pro hard drive failure. They were very professional and communicated back very well. All the repairs were carried out expediently over the Xmas period. Would definitely (though hopefully won't need to) use again. First Class. Andy Noonan – Cork – December 2016
They are incredible! My iMac got a corrupt hard drive and thought I lost everything! (Work documents, family pics, etc.) I was extremely nervous to take it to Apple who would just charge me only to put in a hard drive and tell me they couldn't recover the data making it a quick fix just to get my money.Then I found these lads. Their positive reviews are all true. They are a family owned and operated business and took the time to not only repair but they recovered all my data from the old hard drive. On top of recovering the data, they also installed a new 1TB hard drive, upgraded my memory and the operating system for less than what the Apple charge to look at the computer and throw in a new hard drive. I wouldn't hesitate to bring any of my computers in again. They are trust worthy, extremely friendly and very knowledgable. Pat O' Connell – Shannon – December 2017

In college there were a few times when I would breakout and whip up something special for a visiting friend. This recipe came as a follow-up to my dabble in the bananas fosters dessert which included a little fun with brandy and toasted cinnamon. The culmination one morning was a swift move to make crepes and expand on the flare that can only come from a raspberry and blueberry sauce made a la flambé via a few ounces of a good brandy. We sure did enjoy breakfast that morning, and since this recipe has been a favorite that I've enjoyed making for special guests ever since.
This recipe and more available in "Great Eats! In A New York Minute. Or Two". Get your autographed copy today!
1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tbsp Sugar
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
2 Extra-Large Eggs
2 cups Fat-Free Milk
2 tbsp Melted Butter (Unsalted)
1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
3 tbsp Butter
1/2 cup Fresh Raspberries
1/2 cup Fresh Blueberries
1/4 cup Brandy
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add vanilla, eggs, milk and melted butter and mix until the batter is well combined (should be a bit runny). Heat a non-stick skillet (or crepe pan if you have one) to medium-high heat. Place about 1/4 cup of the batter on the pan and gently tilt the pan until the batter covers the entire surface (about 1/8" thick). When top of the batter becomes solid flip for a few more minutes and then roll-up and set aside. Repeat until all crepes are made (makes about 6-8) Cover to keep warm.
For the sauce, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet on medium heat. Add the powdered sugar and mix together, then add raspberries and blueberries (set a few aside to use as a garnish). Cook until the berries fall apart in the sauce. Add the brandy along the edge of the sauteed pan and flambé. (I keep a wand starter in the kitchen for this – be careful as flames can shoot a few feet above the skillet).
Pour the sauce over the crepes (2-3 per serving) and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh berries and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Here at the law offices of David A. Munson P.C., we understand how extraordinarily difficult losing a loved one can often be. Sadly, not only is having to suffer the tremendous shock and emotional loss already often far too much but then the immediate added burden of the financial impact the loved one's loss bears upon the family, as well as the formalities and procedures associated with the estate.
While although these formalities and matters of probate are often an additional burden interfering with an already difficult grieving process, unfortunately they are critically necessary in order to ensure not only the deceased's last wishes are met with the dignity and respect they so deserve, but to also ensure the estate is protected and the will is honored in the manner for which the deceased had intended.
Though already difficult and emotionally overwhelming as grieving a loss can be, there in fact potential circumstances and complications within the estate that can add even more stress and burden on the deceased's loved ones. Such is the case in the event the will must be defended against contest.
It has been our experience at the offices of David A. Munson P.C. that a vast majority of will contests are filed in The Woodlands and/or the Houston Texas area by beneficiaries, heirs or those who expect to have been potential heirs to an estate. While typically the party contesting the will feel as though they have either been unfairly compensated or perhaps left out of the will entirely, there are several other reasons in which a will might require defending against contest.
It is because of circumstances such as these that it has become increasingly more important than ever for anyone who might feel as though the validity of their will might be questioned for any reason whatsoever after their passing to secure the services of an attorney who is highly experienced in defending against will contests.
If in or around The Woodlands and Houston Texas, estate planning attorney David A. Munson P.C. is not only extremely skilled at aggressively defending wills against contest but strives to ensure any potential threat of attack is often preemptively defended. David A. Munson P.C. has proven time and time again that by ensuring your will includes and/or is:
By having these preemptive will defenses in place during and after drafting, as well as David A. Munson P.C. having proven to aggressively and vehemently defend wills against contest after one's unfortunate passing, loved ones can find comfort in knowing that although matters of probate are necessary and must be handled accordingly and promptly, David A. Munson P.C. has helped lift this burden from upon their already strained shoulders in order for them to have the time and space to grieve in a more appropriate manner.

Community Television (CTV) of Santa Cruz County—the public access channel for that community—has launched a new HD video production truck which features the new 1080i truck is a Broadcast Pix Granite 1000 live video production system, says Broadcast Pix in a written statement.
CTV of Santa Cruz County serves 75,000 households by producing public, education, and government programming and the new HD video production truck is to provide broadcast-quality coverage of high school sports, youth athletics, and local cultural events.
Since it became operational in December 2010, the converted 33-foot Ford motor coach has been used extensively to cover Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League high school basketball and soccer games and championships, Monterey Bay League boy's soccer, and other sporting events. CTV uses its truck to produce an average of three hours of programming each week, which is carried by three local cable systems and is available on demand at CTV's website.
"Granite 1000 brings all the features and functionality we need to produce visually exciting local programs cost effectively," said Craig Jutson, CTV's director of technology. "While many factors led to our choice of Granite, price was a critical issue because we needed to accomplish our production goals while staying within our truck budget."
Jutson credits Granite 1000 in large part for holding the line on truck costs (which totaled nearly $270,000) without sacrificing performance and operational ergonomics. "While we considered many top conventional and PC-based production switchers, Granite 1000 was the only one that incorporated all the functionality we needed in a way that enables small crews to produce a multi-camera show in a very small footprint," he said.
The truck also features four new Hitachi Z-HD5000 EFP HD cameras, a Datavideo HDR-50 hard drive video recorder, NewTek 3Play multi-channel slow motion replay system, Mackie Onyx 32.4 analog audio mixer, and Zoom R16 digital multi-track audio recorder.

Savings Made Easy
Contractors For Green Deal's Upfront Fees Will Put People To Upgrade Their Homes
By Cynthia Taylor
Experts have said that costs will undermine the government's attempt at encouraging people to invest in energy efficiency upgrades.
Approximately 14 million homes have been targeted by the government for the Green Deal. Consumer groups have, however, warned that the upfront charges by contractors for assessments are likely to derail the government's plans to improve energy efficiency.
The Green Deal is set to be launched this month and will allow householders to take a loan with the companies who are contracted to undertake the upgrade work on boilers, lagging of lofts, and cavities, with payments theoretically being paid out of the savings.
Greg Barker, climate minister has said that this scheme will improve homes that are drafty with no upfront costs; he continued that this scheme is set to be the most ambitions scheme of the government since WWII.
A survey by The Guardian of the 24 companies who are listed as domestic assessors for this scheme has found that of the 18 that they were able to contact 5 of them will charge a fee of between Ł95 up to Ł150 fee for assessment. 11 of the companies were unable to give an answer. One company – Mark Group – said they would be doing the assessment for free and one company was not a provider and was mistakenly listed.
Consumer Focus, a consumer rights group's director of Energy, Audrey Gallacher has said that one could argue about interest rates and finance, but an upfront fee for the assessment, is likely to put people off even if they know it will save them money in the long run.
She mentioned that previous schemes had struggled to meet targets when they gave away insulation for free. Therefore it will be a challenge to expect people to want to go out to finance their upgrades. She said that no one would argue about the good intentions of this Green Deal, however, practically it is likely to face many difficulties.
Luciana Berger MP, the shadow climate change minister said that for the Green Deal to be successful it has to be a good deal for consumers. She continued that it was very unlikely that people would accept paying upfront about Ł100 before they have been given the opportunity to decide of they even want a Green Deal package. Charges for such a high fee would more likely deter people who are on low incomes such as pensioners, people who would benefit the most from installations of energy efficiency measures.
The government is in the process of phasing out the Carbon emission Reduction Target and the Warm Front Schemes where energy light saving bulbs and loft insulations were give free to help cut energy bills and carbon emissions.
During November 2011 it was revealed that up to date no one had registered for the Green Deal Scheme, despite the fact that assessors were already available from the 1st October, to begin assessments, with an upfront fee for carrying out the assessments in people's homes. The assessments would see what is necessary for homes to become energy efficient.
Two of the companies who were contacted by The Guardian said that a refund of the full assessment fee would be issued if they carried out the work.
During debates Labour raised the question of assessments with ministers on the energy bill, they were told that they expected the companies would not charge for the assessments. It appears now that they were wrong and this mistake could prove costly and lower the Green Deal take up.
The DECC needs to take a serious look at what needs to be done and what action can be taken to reduce costs of assessments for people who are interested in looking at the Green Deal.
A spokesperson at the DECC said that the Green Deal customer is in charge, and that this is a competitive market, and that they expect to see a different offers which will allow people to shop around for the deal that would suit them as well as their budget. When the Green Deal becomes available during January, he said it was likely that some providers would offer free assessments as a means to attract customers, and others may charge and then reimburse as part of the deal that is agreed between customer and supplier.
The spokesperson said that there was also a separate low income deal for households who will be able to benefit from help that is mandated from their energy supplier without the need for an assessment.
The government hopes that they will be able to tempt householders to take out green deals with their Ł2.9million advertising campaign,as well as cash back worth hundreds of pounds from the government for the first lot of people who sign up.
Trade Association Energy UK's head, Angela Knight has issued a warning that public awareness is very low, people asked what they thought of the Green Deal reply that they don't know about it and then request information about it.

Rid your surroundings of bulky waste - Gordon
PORT ANTONIO, Portland:
Faced with the dengue fever outbreak, Executive Director of the National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) Audley Gordon is pleading with residents in Portland to rid their surroundings of bulky waste.
Gordon's passionate appeal to residents living at Boundbrook and other surrounding areas in eastern Portland was made on Thursday during a two-day clean-up exercise in a parish which has so far experienced one confirmed dengue fever death after a schoolgirl died in December.
"This is a two-day parish operation aimed at ridding the parish of bulky waste, water-holding containers, and other forms of material," commented Gordon.
"We intend to rid the parish of all the bulky waste that we can get our hands on. We used a town crier over the last three days to inform residents about this operation. Not only are we battling this dengue outbreak, but there is a rodent problem facing Portland. Whatever you have in the backyard that can hold water, which will allow for the breeding of mosquitoes, will be collected. We must clean up our backyard and public spaces."
According to Gordon, some persons are still ignoring the warnings that come from the Ministry of Health, the municipal corporation, and the NSWMA. He argued that in doing so, persons are exposing themselves to serious health risks, which could also have an adverse effect on the lives of children and the elderly.
Enough resources
"We have enough resources in hand to complete the clean-up operation over a two-day period. We have employed over 20 trucks to assist with the removal of bulky waste, water-holding containers, and other instru-ments. One would think that after chik-V and the Zika virus we wouldn't have any old tyres thrown around because of the fact that we felt those epidemics. But no, we still have irresponsible behaviour and right across the island people are ignoring the warnings," he further said.
Gordon, who was accompanied by Tracey Fakhourie, regional operations manager of North Eastern Park and Market, and her team, also spoke about the need for persons to take responsibility for their surroundings and to ensure that one's behaviour does not create problems for others, especially for those who are adhering to the warnings from the health ministry.
The efforts of the NSWMA was not futile, as from early as 6 a.m. on Thursday, residents brought out large amounts of bulky waste, old fridges, discarded water-holding containers, and other forms of garbage, which were later picked up by trucks.
"You cannot depend on someone living in Kingston to take care of your yard. It is important for people to see it necessary to rid their surroundings of waste and water-holding containers. The authorities alone cannot solve the garbage problem and, therefore, we must get residents to buy into this programme. The people must see this as their collective duty, to protect Jamaica's beauty."

Parakeet and Pacific Parrotlets owners can make an edible ladder that is both nutritious and fun. The ladder can be made using Popsicle sticks tied together with lengths of cotton twine. Coat the ladder with parakeet food by using a pastry brush to cover sticks with egg whites that will hold sprinkled birdseed in place. The ladder should be baked for five minutes and cooled for two. This process should be repeated until all surfaces are covered and seed coating is thick. It should be allowed to cool completely before being placed in the cage, approximately 30 minutes.

HKA, the world's leading construction claims and dispute resolution firm, has launched CRUX, its integrated research programme. CRUX provides valuable insight into claims and dispute causation from major capital projects around the world.
The aim of CRUX is to better understand claims and dispute causation and to reinvigorate the debate about how best to reduce the prevalence of disputes across the engineering and construction (E&C) industry.
HKA's first CRUX Insight report provides a digital perspective on its initial investigation into common engineering and construction dispute causation factors across 257 commissions on which HKA has provided claims consulting and dispute resolution services. This unveils causation complexity on major projects with a capital expenditure in excess of US$400 billion, with an average of 13 interrelated factors for each commission.
Toby Hunt, Partner and Chief Business Development Officer, said: "The E&C industry is forecast for major growth in the coming decades, presenting unparalleled opportunity and greater potential for risk. The expectation to deliver more, quicker and for less is asked of an industry that has arguably failed to respond to calls for change for decades.
"Our aim for this report and for future CRUX Insight is to better inform stakeholders and the wider industry of the interrelated causes of claims and disputes on projects so they can better manage risk and uncertainty on major capital projects, helping to achieve successful business outcomes," he added.
Over the last 40 years, HKA has been at the forefront of claims consultancy and dispute resolution services for the construction, manufacturing, process and technology industries. In coupling industry expertise with academic credentials, its people are leaders and problem-solvers who have provided consulting, expert and advisory services on some of the world's most challenging and prestigious projects across a wide range of industry sectors.

About James
I'm a married, born and bred Londoner. Back in 1998 my web page describing my experiences was one of first about aniridia. It generated a lot interest from around the globe. I was glad to meet and help so many parents and other young people as a result.
Since then I have had a career in digital media for non-profit organisations. I have worked for a students' union, Citizen Advice Bureaux, Big Lottery Fund and the Civil Service. For 12 years I volunteered for Nightline – the confidential student support service. This included: taking helpline calls and managing the website.

The first day of summer calls for no bake treats and these No Bake Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cups are packed with your favorite cookies and fresh berries–and ready in minutes!
The first day of summer came with lots of rain today but for some reason, I wasn't bummed out. It was verrrrry much needed rain with all of the crazy heat we have had already. So a little cooling rain was very welcome today no doubt. Sam and I had some time swinging on the porch swing watching the rain fall and that felt like a pretty good way to kick off summer.
And while we did not have these No Bake Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cups today–only because they were long gone by Father's Day–we still feel pretty satisfied with our summer kickoff.
Sometimes when the seasons change, I take very little note of the shift. Other times I feel very deeply the metaphor of seasons to life itself. Summer is here, a season of sunshine and laughter, splashing in the pool, ice cream cones, and so much more. And this summer, there is a piece of me aching, aching to go back, to all of these things in my childhood.
There is one thing that will never change: things change
Last week I wrote about my grandpa and the giggles we have every year over his birthday call. I called last week on his birthday and as always joked about flag day.
I told him that Sam had dressed appropriately for his birthday since he was wearing red, white and blue. He wore a blue and white striped outfit with red stains from eating strawberries, which Grandpa of course got a kick out of. We finished up our conversation and I told him I loved him.
The next morning I got a call from my sister saying Grandpa had a stroke.
But how? We just talked last night?
And that's when I wanted to go back–back to summers in the pool, vacations on the beach, laughing at Grandpa laying out in the sun with a towel over his mostly bald head. I wanted to go back to his silly pokes with the funny sounds he made. All I wanted was to sit at the dinner table while my grandma laughed uncontrollably at whatever us cousins were joking about. I wanted my childhood, I wanted to remember, to have it all again.
And so this shift to summer is my reminder that seasons change, life shifts, nothing stays the same. As I sat with Sam on the porch swing today watching the rain, I was reminded that making these memories makes me the luckiest person in the world.
Things will never be the same.
No, things will not stay just as they are, but these simple times I will hold in my heart. Just as I do the times we spent with my grandma and grandpa growing up. And those memories will be forever.
Grandpa is doing well, but he has a road to recovery. He was moved to rehab today so things are moving up. He is one tough cookie so he will continue to power on. And as for us, we will continue to be all the more grateful for all of the time we get to be with him, and make even more memories together.
No Bake Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cups–a little smile after today's post
More often than I can count, I come here to talk about food and then spill out a piece of my soul. I like to consider my blog a food blog with a side of life. Tonight was a dose of the life stuff and now we get to move on to the sweet treat I teased you with. Thanks for allowing me to share my thoughts with you as well!
My mother in law retired the weekend of Father's Day, so clearly a delicious treat was needed to celebrate. After I made this 5 Minute Blueberry Cheesecake Dip a few weeks ago, all the no bake cheesecake recipe ideas have been brewing in my head. And they settled first and foremost here, on these parfait like No Bake Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cups.
When it comes to treats, I promise that if you add an Oreo (or two), the flavor instantly gets 100 times better. Cookies and Cream is my favorite ice cream flavor. When it comes to Flurries– why would you get anything but Oreo, that's just silly! Cookies and cream everything my friends!
These No Bake Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cups are ready in no time!
And what if I were to tell you that you could have these pretty little numbers all set and ready to go in about ten minutes or so? Would you believe me? You should cause it's summer and we aren't baking anything, AND we aren't spending too much time in the kitchen!
Let me break this one down for you: whip some cream cheese and a few other simple ingredients together, crush up some Oreos, fold them in and layer the cheesecake with berries and you are set! Oh wait, don't forget the whipped cream!!! Now you are really ready for these No Bake Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cups!
Any dessert dish will do or you could layer it in a larger bowl and spoon it out as needed–whatever will work great! So again, not a lot of time in the kitchen, no extra heat, and all the goodness of a delicious treat–yep, summer is here!
What you need to make these No Bake Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cups:
- Cream Cheese: make sure you let it sit out to soften. This will make this recipe a heck of a lot easier.
- Cool Whip: You could also make some whipped cream using heavy cream. Since this is a summer recipe, I went with whatever took the least amount of time. Cool whip it is!
- Powdered Sugar
- Oreos: There are so many options these days in the Oreo department. I love the traditional chocolate for these but have also loved this recipe with Golden Oreos, my second favorite flavor.
- Vanilla
- Raspberries or fresh berries: Berries are completely optional but I loved the addition of raspberries.

Coastal Scheme Starts on St Andrews' West Sands Beach
Coastal restoration work has begun along the St Andrews' West Sands beach.
The dunes were badly damaged back in March 2010 by high tides and strong North Easterly gales and a substantial amount of sand was lost.
While parts of the dune have recovered reasonably well in the intervening years, a few areas in particular have remained vulnerable to further erosion.
Following discussions with Fife Coast and Countryside Trust (FCCT), Scottish National Heritage (SNH), Fife Council and St Andrews Links over the past few years it was agreed that FCCT would apply to Marine Scotland for a license to extract sand from the beach to carry out these repairs.
FCCT were granted the license back in October and the work is now being carried out.
The area of the dunes and the beach was surveyed prior to the work beginning to record the current height of sand.
This will be repeated following the work and again in a years' time to determine how successful the project has been and to show there have been no ill effects.

If you are a 90's nerd kid, then you probably remember how Draco Malfoy was every little girl's first crush. And it's no secret that Emma Watson stood in the same queue; she too had a massive crush on her co-star Tom Felton for the first two movies of the mega-hit magical series. There were several die-hard shippers of Granger and Malfoy despite always having known that that would never happen.
In a 2011 interview with Seventeen, the Beauty and the Beast actress told the magazine, "For the first two movies, I had a huge crush on Tom Felton. He was my first crush. He totally knows. We talked about it – we still laugh about it. We are really good friends now, and that's cool." She would check the script every single day to see if she had any scenes with him. How cute, no? *insert heart-eyes emoji*
But when the Flash star was asked at the premiere of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2016 about whether he had a crush on her too, he nervously replied with an "Er, uh, um, no." Confirming that the statistical probability of your crush liking you back is dangerously thin.
When he was asked whether he knew at that time that she fancied him, he said a "no" followed by a nervous laugh and a "sorry I'm being a bit aloof with my answers." At that time, he had also told this to E! News "We were always very close, but no, nothing of that nature. Sorry to disappoint." Hmm, disappointed.
The now 28-year-old did admit, though, back in 2011 that it was "very flattering for a 12-year-old boy." Keeps getting cuter. He continued, "It's nice that we've become friends since then and we can kind of look back and have a laugh at it." Felton had also revealed that had a crush on an older co-star – Helena Bonham Carter.
While all that might be old news, the latest of it is that hunk Matthew Lewis had a crush on Emma Watson! In a recent interview with Seventeen, he revealed, "I probably had a crush on Emma for a couple of years, until I was 13 or 14 – something like that." That is the same time Emma was struck by the love angel. "I mean nothing ever came of it, anyway. It never went anywhere."
But like the other Harry Potter co-stars, these two also share a laugh about this. "She knows about that. It's not something we've not talked about or anything," said Lewis. He also spilled more beans when he told the publication, "There was always Valentine's Day – everyone would write secret Valentine's cards to different people. I think on the second [movie] there was like love notes and love letters flying around."
"It was just exactly what you would imagine you would get in any high school, just we happen to be in a film studio." This is pretty weird. Lewis had a crush on Watson, who had a crush on Felton, while Felton had a crush on Helena. He he he. We wonder whom Daniel Redcliff has a crush on.

Chaca Chaca is made from apple pulp and chili powder and comes wrapped in red and white cellophane. The name comes from the sound a train makes on the tracks, and a train is depicted on the wrapper.
The state Department of Health Services alerted consumers Thursday. Lead could harm the nervous system and kidneys, said state epidemiologist Dr. Gilberto Chavez. Lead poisoning can also cause learning disabilities and behavioral disorders.
Chaca Chaca was tested by the state food and drug branch in June and August 2002. Those tests found the candy bar contained three to four times the lead level allowed by FDA (news - web sites) guidelines.
The health warning is the first California has issued on a candy since 2001, when consumers were cautioned about a lollipop made of fig-like tamarind discovered in the Costa Mesa home of a child with lead poisoning.
Why would anybody want an apple pulp and chilli pepper candy bar, haven't they heard of a Reese's Cup?

Aug 01, 2018 - National Geographic Sea Bird
After days of unusually warm weather, the brisk chill in the air this morning was a welcome change. The dropping temperature was a sign that we were nearing our destination: South Sawyer Glacier at the terminus of Tracy Arm Fjord. Cold air pools over icefields high in the mountains and then rushes down the fjord in a form of convection known as a katabatic wind.
Undeterred, guests and staff bundled up in warm layers to enjoy the stunning scenery as National Geographic Sea Bird cruised through the fjord before breakfast.
Our morning of glacier watching rewarded us with two large calving events and excellent views of harbor seals hauled out on ice. These animals seek refuge from predators on the ice floes at the base of tidewater glaciers and bear their pups in the relative safety of the ice. But tidewater glaciers are receding rapidly, and we must wonder what will happen to these creatures when, at last, the glaciers cease to deposit ice into the fjord.
