Are you starting a firm and considering time & billing software?
Is your firm established and your thinking about changing billing systems?
You may want to consider PCLaw. These days making a decision on the right legal app for your practice has gotten considerably more complex. There are solutions that need a server within your office to operate, hosted software solutions via the web, applications that live on your desktop but need a web connection as well as cloud based storage solutions. On top of this there is document management, case management, trial management, time & billing & docketing software that overlap in functionality.
With all these options it can be difficult to make the right decision for your firm. We have dealt with software questions so often that we decided to release a legal software review series that focus on reviews for both the good and bad with a dash of our own experience. The ultimate goal is to help make your decision making easier. Also, please feel free to give us a call if you have any PCLaw questions.
PCLaw Overview
I'm proud to say that PCLaw (a LexisNexis product) is used by about 75% of all our law firms clients. For the most part this is not our doing, many of our clients came to us with PCLaw totally & 100% happy with the product. On the whole, PCLaw is an extremely popular time & billing application. It also does case management and a little document management as well, but it's main focus is time & billing. There's a reason why PCLaw's market share is extremely high when it comes to time, billing & legal accounting and extremely low when it comes to document & case management, but we'll get to that later on.
Time Tracking, Billing & Accounting in One App is Key
PCLaw is known for being the best time, billing & accounting application because it does all three tasks within a single application. For example, TimeSlips is an excellent time tracking system for attorneys, but in order to automate billing, you must link it with QuickBooks. Amcius Attorney is another good example of a piece of software that offers a great practice management system but the new accounting system is really lack luster which is why it links with PCLaw and/or QuickBooks to finish the accounting piece. This is why we say that PCLaw does it all in one application.
Multiple applications for your firm means multiple application purchases, multiple application annual maintenance costs, and the dreaded multiple application linking issues. Linking QuickBooks to Amicus or PCLaw to Time Matters works great until it doesn't. The link between the two applications does die every once in a while and when it does, you have to call IT support to fix this which overall increases IT costs. There's also the vendor finger pointing game that occurs during application link problems. When you call Time Matters support they tell you it's a QuickBooks problem and vise versa. In a nut shell, going with a multiple application platform to satisfy your firms need to track time, bill your clients all with a full legal accounting package will work, but just won't be as easy or seamless as a single app that does it all, PCLaw.

PCLaw – The Good
- All in One Simplicity. As IT people we really prefer the all-in-one model vs. the multiple package model, it makes our lives easier and causes less headache and downtime for our clients. Amicus Attorney is trying to do this but it's just not there yet, they're accounting package is simply not as robust as PCLaw plus PCLaw has the experience wither 15 versions of their product.
- Practice Management Features. PCLaw does support limited practice management features that we feel should be utilized by small firms. These features are not as robust as an Amicus Attorney or Time Matters for that matter but we have a few very happy clients that use them successfully. Mainly we're talking about firm calendar organization, and document management. I feel that firms don't utilize these functionalities because they are not aware that the application has these capabilities. As a whole, it's pretty cool that PCLaw can also be a document management system and firm management platform in addition to time, billing & accounting. There is no other application that can perform all these functions.
- Quick Setup & Intuitive. With very limited assistance an attorney or legal admin can setup PCLaw in around 25 minutes. The application itself is intuitive. We have setup PCLaw for firms very quickly and all the info we needed to accomplish this was specific attorney billing rates so attorneys bill out at the right dollar amounts. It's fast for firms who are new to PCLaw and even faster for new firms who begin with PCLaw experience.
PCLaw – The Bad & The Ugly
- Lexis Support is OK at Best. As IT people we're in contact with support pretty often. It's scary when you know more than the person on the other end of the line who is supposed to help you, and this not only happens to PCLaw support but also to Amicus, TimeSlips, iManage & Worldox support. Terrible software support is a problem in the industry in general, not specific to PCLaw. Just expect when you call the first time to get someone who knows next to nothing and push for a level 2 technician ASAP so you can get your issue fixed and move on with your life. Contacting level 3 support for major database corruption issues are not easy. There are a ton of hoops to jump through and you can't call them, they can only call you. The good thing is that the Level 3 people are PCLaw geniuses and will undoubtedly fix your issues, if you can get a hold to one.
- PCLaw Database Corruption. In the past, versions of PCLaw before v15 are prone to database corruption. There are a few things you can do to combat against this. First a foremost, have a daily backup of your database. Often when you call support with a corrupt database, support tells you to do a restore. Support will ALWAYS tell you to restore from a previous day before fixing anything. They may be able to easily fix the issue but push for a restore. The problem with restoring is when you restore from a previous day you lose all the time billed between today and the restoration day. You then have to remember in detail all that time that was lost, and re-enter it. There is a strong chance you can grab the time from the corrupt database, but sometimes you can't. This is a worst case scenario that does happen from time to time. The second thing you can do is run a verify data integrity on your PCLaw database every 2 weeks or every month. This reorganizes the database and fights against corruption. We find many new clients that have never run this VDI tool in years. PCLaw has to improve awareness on the importance of running this tool on a regular basis.
- PCLaw Bookkeepers are Scarce. When you go with PCLaw you have two choices. Have your bookkeeper go through the paid LexisNexis training regiment & learn the software, or hire someone from another firm proficient in PCLaw. You may have a hard time finding someone with PCLaw skills. For new firms with smaller budgets, the managing attorney may have to learn the software first and transfer the knowledge due to the overhead cost of hiring a PCLaw bookkeeper guru. What we're trying to say is that PCLaw bookkeepers are out there, you just have to find them, and it may be a challenging task.
Rekall Finds Judgement in Favor of PCLaw
In the end, over 15,000 law firms don't lie. PCLaw is the very best application out there that does it all. Are there other applications? Yes. But PCLaw does it with simplicity a low learning curve and the same terrible support that plagues the industry. If you looking for a robust billing system with time tracking, accounting, excellent reporting and a dash of case management, definitely check out PCLaw. After all, it is the leader in the industry.

In a revisionist conversation with Mujeeb Jaihoon, KKN Kurup laments Kerala's neglect of Thuhfathul Mujahideen, the manifesto of anti-colonial struggle.
We live in very 'un-historic times'. Neither is the modern generation interested in studying the past nor are they prepared to give the bygone great souls their right due. They neglect their epic intellectual firepower and cultural titans and vaguely pursue a life robbed of identity and originality.
K. K. N. Kurup, one among the last stock of Kerala's living eminent historians, displayed a similar view as he shared his pain over the neglect of Thuhfathul Mujahideen, the seminal historical work of Sheikh Zainuddin Makhdum, South India's Sufi saint and philosopher of the 16th century, also known as the Thucydides of Kerala.
Modern Kerala's government authorities and society, including the Muslim Community, shy from patronizing the message of Thuhfathul Mujahideen, laments the fluffy-white haired octogenarian, despite its immense cultural and anti-colonial potentials.
Kurup asserts that the historical treatise, translated into 36 languages worldwide, had served as an inspirational commandment for the people of Malabar against imperialistic forces. He has been instrumental in holding several conferences and seminars in honor of the late Muslim Scholar.
When I mentioned that no one had praised Samuthiri or Zamorin (the then Hindu King) the way Shaikh Zainuddin Makhdoom had, the former Vice Chancellor of University of Calicut added, 'and also for the Muslims to perform jihad for the Hindu king as well'.
Thuhfathul Mujahideen, he believes, 'is a manifesto to resist and struggle for the cause of the nation and its ruler'. The anti-colonial legacy of the Thuhfathul Mujahideen inspired the Mappilas to put up a formidable fight against the colonial British rule in 1921. Kurup remains critical of the Muslim community's unceremonious treatment of this anti-imperialist text.
Kurup also confided in our conversation that Theyyam Pattu, traditional folk song of Kerala, was influenced by Mawlid recitation, a popular form of devotional eulogy performed by Kerala's orthodox Muslim community. He had earlier observed that 'the female costume of Kathakali, a popular folk art form, had been borrowed from Arabs.'
Kurup, who hails from a family that has produced several scholars of philosophy and Sanskrit, now wish to set up an Indo-Arab cultural exchange body to foster further research and seminars.
I presented to him a copy of The Cool Breeze from Hind, my novel that has an exclusive chapter dedicated to Shaikh Zainuddin Makhdum. Kurup, a senior research fellow of the Indian Council of Historical Research, responded jokingly that 'it is relatively safer to adopt a fictional approach in narrating historical events, as in case of your historical fiction'.
Bio: Mujeeb Jaihoon is a UAE-based writer, orator, and wanderer of Indian origin. His published books include The Cool Breeze From Hind, a historical fiction of a spiritual travel across Muslim Kerala, and Slogans of the Sage, collection of illustrated aphorisms by late Shihab Thangal, late supremo of Muslim League. Besides pursuing literary passion, he is also a regular speaker on issues pertaining to education and women's empowerment. As a prolific traveler, Jaihoon has extensively travelled to cradles of ancient civilizations in various parts of the world. He also serves as director at several educational institutions in Kerala, besides playing an advisory role in community development initiatives. His blog is available on www.jaihoon.com.

Studies done on ethnic differences in food allergies have determined that #Children of Latino, African-American, and Caucasian origin have distinct food allergies. #ethnicity and food allergy research is being conducted at by allergy and immunology experts at Rush University Medical Center, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago.
The study
The purpose is to look at food allergy and predict consequences that can seriously affect children upon first exposure. Food-related allergic responses are on the rise in the US; however, little information exists on frequency, severity, and outcome. The study sample included 817 children in all ethnicities and was composed of 35 percent African-American (285 children), 12 percent Latino (99 children), and 53 percent non-Hispanic White children (433 children). The results showed that compared with non-Hispanic, White children, African-American, and Latino children had significantly higher odds of allergy to wheat, soy, corn, fish, and shellfish.
Health concern
The major health concern is that African-American and Hispanic children had significantly higher rates of food-induced anaphylaxis and were at increased risk of emergency room visits for food allergy-related reactions compared to White children. This is an important heads-up for parents to give them information: being alert to the triggers, knowing what to watch for, and having a plan of action.
Immune response
Food allergy is a cascading immune system response that occurs soon after eating even a small amount of a particular food. The allergic reaction can show up as red spots, itching hives, welts, breathing and stomach problems, anaphylaxis, or shock. In the U.S., food allergy affects 8% of children with a cost of $24.8 billion annually.
Antihistamines can be one line of treatment for prevention at the early onset of symptoms. They have multiple therapeutic uses and are indicated for allergic reactions, insomnia, rash, nausea, and vomiting. They work as an antagonist medication by blocking the histamine-1 receptor. Side effects include sedation, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and urinary retention. Parents need to be alert to the fact that this class of antihistamine drugs can cause hyperactivity in some children. If a more serious reaction occurs, treatment may include the auto self-injection of epinephrine. This requires a physician's order. If in an emergency situation, contact 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Have a plan
Medications are most effective when started before the onset of symptoms. If your child is newly diagnosed, carry medications with you at all times. The reasons as to the ethnic differences and food allergens are unclear, and more research needs to be conducted to develop culturally-sensitive and effective educational programs to improve food allergy outcomes for all children.

Today, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that the Social Security Administration (SSA) is now able to process requests for Medicare Part A and Part B Special Enrollment Periods, and reductions in Part B and premium Part A late enrollment penalties for certain eligible people in same-sex marriages. This is another step HHS is taking in response to the June 26, 2013 Supreme Court ruling in U.S. v. Windsor, which held section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional. Because of this ruling, Medicare is no longer prevented by DOMA from recognizing same-sex marriages for determining entitlement to, or eligibility, for Medicare.
Just Like Me? NOT! Amodei Is Deaf, Dumb and Can't Read!
Some time ago, I wrote to Rep. Mark Amodei regarding DOMA and various bills proposed by GOP members of Congress seeking to restrict the marriage franchise. I specifically stated that I believe that marriage is a contract of law and as such it should be available to all human beings, be they male + male, female + female or male+female couples. I conveyed in that letter that I consider marriage a civil right. I also told him in my letter that if he was of the belief that marriage should NOT be available to ALL couples, but instead allowed only between ONE man and ONE woman, then he should find the intestinal fortitude to introduce a bill into Congress to remove all discriminatory marriage-related tax incentives and benefits from our US Tax Code. It is inappropriate for Congress to impose discriminatory tax codes on certain members of our society. I also stated that if it's only to be between ONE man and ONE woman, then they should outlaw divorce and not allow widows or widowers to marry as they'd already used up their "ONE."
A number of bills have been proposed. HJRes51 proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to enshrine discrimination of against an entire class of U.S. Citizens:
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein),
This joint resolution may be cited as the `Marriage Protection Amendment'.
The following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission for ratification:
`Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.'.
Yet another bill, HR2834, proposed which marriages would be eligible for benefits:
Declares that, in determining the meaning of any Act of Congress: (1) "marriage" includes a marriage, domestic partnership, civil union, or any other similar legal union between two individuals that is recognized by a state, the District of Columbia, a territory or possession of the United States, or a federally recognized Indian tribe; and (2) "spouse" refers to either member of such a legal union. (Currently, "marriage" is defined only as a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, while "spouse" refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or wife.)
Under the definitions outlined in HR2834, my late husband and I would not have been considered husband and wife, as we were not married in a "State," the District of Columbia, a U.S. Territory, or on Tribal grounds. We were married in the Bahamas. That was another point I raised in my letter to Rep. Amodei.
Well, I finally got my response from Rep. Amodei's office. Clearly, he, and the member of his staff (sp) who drafted the response below, are incapable of comprehending that someone in his district would be "FOR" the principle of marriage equality and thought I must have erred in my assertion that marriage should NOT be restricted to just ONE man and ONE woman. Here's the copy of his letter (the only modification to this letter is the removal of my address from the letter before posting it here):
HHS announces first guidance implementing Supreme Court's decision on the Defense of Marriage Act
Today, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a memo clarifying that all beneficiaries in private Medicare plans have access to equal coverage when it comes to care in a nursing home where their spouse lives. This is the first guidance issued by HHS in response to the recent Supreme Court ruling, which held section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.
"HHS is working swiftly to implement the Supreme Court's decision and maximize federal recognition of same-sex spouses in HHS programs," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. "Today's announcement is the first of many steps that we will be taking over the coming months to clarify the effects of the Supreme Court's decision and to ensure that gay and lesbian married couples are treated equally under the law."
"Today, Medicare is ensuring that all beneficiaries will have equal access to coverage in a nursing home where their spouse lives, regardless of their sexual orientation," said Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Marilyn Tavenner. "Prior to this, a beneficiary in a same-sex marriage enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan did not have equal access to such coverage and, as a result, could have faced time away from his or her spouse or higher costs because of the way that marriage was defined for this purpose."
Under current law, Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan are entitled to care in, among certain other skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), the SNF where their spouse resides (assuming that they have met the conditions for SNF coverage in the first place, and the SNF has agreed to the payment amounts and other terms that apply to a plan network SNF). Seniors with Medicare Advantage previously may have faced the choice of receiving coverage in a nursing home away from their same-sex spouse, or dis-enrolling from the Medicare Advantage plan which would have meant paying more out-of-pocket for care in the same nursing home as their same-sex spouse.
Today's guidance clarifies that this guarantee of coverage applies equally to all married couples. The guidance specifically clarifies that this guarantee of coverage applies equally to couples who are in a legally recognized same-sex marriage, regardless of where they live.
Texas Judge Forbids Lesbian Woman From Living With Her Partner
In a post at Think Progress last Friday, we once again learn that the REPUBLIBAN's culture war against the LGBT community is still raging —
By Ian Millhiser on May 17, 2013 at 1:30 pm
Carolyn Compton is in a three year-old relationship with a woman. According to Compton's partner Page Price, Compton's ex-husband rarely sees their two children and was also once charged with stalking Compton, a felony, although he eventually plead to a misdemeanor charge of criminal trespassing.
And yet, thanks to a Texas judge, Compton could lose custody of her children because she has the audacity to live with the woman she loves.
According to Price, Judge John Roach, a Republican who presides over a state trial court in McKinney, Texas, placed a so-called "morality clause" in Compton's divorce papers. This clause forbids Compton having a person that she is not related to "by blood or marriage" at her home past 9pm when her children are present. Since Texas will not allow Compton to marry her partner, this means that she effectively cannot live with her partner so long as she retains custody over her children. Invoking the "morality clause," Judge Roach gave Price 30 days to move out of Compton's home.
Compton can appeal Roach's decision, but her appeal will be heard by the notoriouslyconservative Texas court system. Ultimately, the question of whether Compton's relationship with Price is entitled to the same dignity accorded to any other loving couple could rest with the United States Supreme Court.

Seven Terrible State Bills
— by ThinkProgress War Room | Mar 27, 2013
Recently, we discussed some of the terrible bills floating around out there in state legislatures. Here's another look at some of the worst proposals, including a couple that were signed into law this week:
- NORTH DAKOTA: The state's Republican governor signed a trifecta of terrible anti-abortion bills, which are likely to have the effect of banning abortion in the state. One bill unconstitutionally bans abortion after just six weeks, which is before many women even know they're pregnant. An even more insidious bill takes up the anti-abortion movement's favorite new tactic: drastic overregulation of abortion clinics to all but guarantee that they will have to close. These so-called TRAP (Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers) laws are also moving in North Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, Alabama, and Virginia.
- KANSAS: A new bill will allow the state to quarantine HIV positive individuals, something Kansas actually banned back in 1988.
- INDIANA: An anti-abortion bill was going to mandate forced ultrasounds before a woman is provided with the abortion pill. Lawmakers explain that they are dropping the controversial provision in order to focus on their real goal: regulating abortion clinics out of existence.
- VIRGINIA: Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-VA) signed a bill that will mandate that Virginians present photo identification when they vote, which will disproportionately impact young people, minorities, and the elderly.
- KENTUCKY: The legislature passed a so-called "religious freedom" bill that allows individuals to ignore laws based on the vague notion of "sincerely held religious beliefs," opening the door to discrimination against LGBT people, among other problems. Gov. Steve Beshear (D) vetoed the bill, but unfortunately his veto was overridden yesterday.
- PENNSYLVANIA: Top Republicans in the state have yet to abandon a GOP plan to rig steal the White House by rigging the distribution of the state's Electoral College votes. Republicans in Virginia, Florida, Wisconsin, and other states dropped the idea, but Pennsylvania Republicans are keeping it on the table.
- ARKANSAS: In addition to its race to the bottom on abortion, Arkansas is considering some highly regressive tax changes. As part of an effort meant to stimulate growth, an Arkansas legislative committee passed two tax cuts that will largely benefit the rich and then rejected one that would benefit the working poor. A recent study found that state-level tax cuts don't promote job growth.
Another week, another set of terrible proposals moving out in state legislatures.
Evening Brief: Important Stories That You Might've Missed
- Rep. Steve King (R-IA) attacks Sasha and Malia Obama.
- It looks like the Defense of Marriage Act's days are numbered.
- Another day, another misleading attack on Obamacare.
- Chief Justice says gays are already too powerful to receive equal protection.
- Universal background checks gain momentum.
- After spending millions in taxpayer funds to defend DOMA, House Republicans go quiet.
- Getting rid of DOMA will boost the economy.
- No, there wasn't really a backlash to Roe v. Wade.
- Top conservative says marriage equality will lead to flood of immigrant polygamists.

Rikki is taking a career break from blog writing so I have had to step in. 😉 Its my first blog post and be warned it's mainly about food 🍔🍗🌭🌮.
We arrived in Rio de Janeiro yesterday morning and are staying in Botafago. There aren't many tourist here. It has been a really nice two days of hanging out and watching the locals go about their day. Very lively atmosphere any day / night of the week!
Yesterday I was already craving some spice in my food and also some rice!! It's only day 3 – surely not! Rikki is starting to think I'm a high maintenance traveller haha, but look at this photo – definitely not high maintenance right??
We randomly then found a food stall selling these snacks called Acaraje (pronounced a-ka-ra-zjeh) which hit the spot. It is a deep fried patty of crushed black eyed peas, palm oil and pureed onions, deep fried and then sliced open and stuffed with fried shrimp and vatapa (a rich and spicy puree of prawns, bread, cashew nuts and other edible items 🤔). It was delicious!! Rikki tried it and found it spicy..oh shame! More for me 😁
Today we went to a viewpoint, Mirante Dona Marta which was amazing as you can see the Sugar Loaf mountain, Christ the Redeemer, Copacabana, favelas – basically a well rounded view of Rio! There was a lot of fog when we got up there so we couldn't catch a glimpse of Christ the redeemer. However three hours later and after being rained on twice he definitely redeemed the day (as you can see below).
We then headed to Santa Teresa (historical town of Rio) before walking down the famous tiled steps (Escadaria selaron) and the Lapa arches. We didn't fancy the Lapa area too much but headed to a bar to get out of the sun only to have the strongest Caprinha! 🍸
In the afternoon we headed to the famous Sugar loaf mountain also for some amazing views of Rio and to watch the sunset.
Tonight's dinner consisted of bbq pork, hamburger and a hot dog from a street vendor. My hot dog had some weird toppings which included a whole quails egg, olives, green peas, sweet corn and my favourite crispy fried potatoes!
Feeling content we have our next couple of days planned out, we will be having an early one tonight! I'm trying to get used to not being on the go all the time whilst travelling! Usually when travelling I like to see and do a lot of things but since we will be travelling for a long period of time I need to be a bit more relaxed or we will be very burnt out early on in this amazing trip!
Obrigado pela leitura e boa noite. Thank you for reading and good night!
P.s. if you didn't enjoy reading that, don't unsubscribe, Rikki will be back soon….
Kumu, CaYf

As more and more white settlers move into the Minnesota Territory, the Dakota are pushed on to smaller and smaller bits of a land. When the mounting tensions finally come to a boil, the results are tragic and costly for all involved. The story of the Dakota 38 is about America's largest mass execution. This important part of American history is often overlooked or ignored. Even my own father, who was born and raised in Minnesota, was not aware of these events. This episode includes graphic descriptions of violence. Listener discretion is advised.

It's January 3 and I'm still here! I managed to get through the holidays (actually Christmas, my birthday, and New Year's Eve…aka the Trilogy Of Stress) without doing anything drastic. I don't really get those thoughts, at least not often enough to be concerned. And I'm not much for resolutions at midnight. One, I'm already asleep and I'll be damned if I'm going to drag my ass out of bed just to testify to a mirror that I'll lose weight next year. Two, my resolution is ongoing; to get out of this revolving door of uncertainty. It's like the worst game of Let's Make A Deal ever. Wayne Brady allows me to choose a door and it's always a Zonk. "Rick, behind door number 2 was a development deal with the OWN Network, worth $500,000! But let's see what you chose instead…Aw it's another week, MAYBE, in the Santa Ana Motor Lodge. Your stay includes dirty sheets, restless sleep until a police raid next door wakes you, and insects you didn't even know existed. Thanks for playing." So adding a mountain directly behind the mountain in front of me doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Anyway, I guess others have reset the clock of life because it's a new year. I got past the Trilogy Of Stress (Remember, no "Happy"…just "Hey Rick, Birthday!" will suffice, thanks), and I'm still chugging along. So let's get the year started right with a story of someone who gave me reason to hope.
I think what surprises me the most is that there are still a good number of people who will perform acts of compassion and kindness without prompting of any kind. They are people who have no particular reason to care about you or your situation, but care they do, however limited the caring may be. They're not going to offer you the guest room in their house once Mom goes back to Wichita, but still…
A few days before Christmas I noticed something . The driving income had consistently been going the wrong direction. Where a month ago it had been possible to reach $115+ in about 8 hours, it had now dropped to about $90, meaning I had to add 2-3 hours of delivering avocado toast and Cajun fries daily to stay sheltered.
Note: For you math fiends out there who quickly discerned $90 divided by 8 is $11.25/hour, so theoretically I should ONLY need to add 1-2 hours per day, all other things being equal, you are correct. BUT my eight hours of driving were already consuming the prime delivery hours, so you need to take into consideration that working from 2-3 AM might bring but one delivery. So you'll find yourself in a freezing car, for you can't waste precious gas running the engine just for a little warmth. You make a mental note that after your next drop-off you need to retrieve the testicle which froze off earlier. I digress…Essentially you figure your hourly rate will drop (like previously mentioned testicle) to about a SWEET $8/hour, meaning about 3 additional hours to stay sheltered. Nice try math majors.
Having taken a mere one day off over the course of an entire year was taking its toll. I was goddamn exhausted. And looking towards the higher holiday rates terrified me. I didn't have the energy to get the extra time in, and the holidays were closing in fast. I started preparing a Plan B, meaning what things in my room would be discarded, and which would get packed into the Camry, along with a shedding Cracker (So sorry about the little white hairs in your spaghetti Ma'am). A real sense of dread was starting to wash over me. I walked into the front office to make my room payment. The woman behind the desk was punching my data into her tablet, ready to re-key my room (when you're homeless, as opposed to a tourist, the card key must be renewed daily. It's how motels ensure you don't become a squatter). I lamented in a muted, shamed tone that their holiday rates were going to be brutal. It wasn't so much a complaint as it was a comment. I couldn't blame the law of supply and demand for not considering my monetary policy.
I had expected the typical, "Yeah I guess that can really suck" or something similar. Instead she gave the slightest of sympathetic smiles and said, "Let me see what I can do". She started punching in more data with the expediency of an old Buddhist monk figuring out a complex math problem with an abacus. She lowered my rate. She did this for the next seven days. Her grand finale came on New Year's Eve, when the rate was supposed to be about $120. I had been sweating NYE for over 2 weeks. She lowered it to $79. I went back to my room, relieved. Her random act allowed me to survive (one of the FEW times you'll hear me use "survive" without mentioning a burning building, war, or weather catastrophe) New Year's Fucking Eve!
I'm not an emotional sort, usually. I have too much to do to allow sadness to dominate any part of my day. The last time I cried was 7 years ago when my father died. But when I got back to the room, the dams burst. Here was someone with no reason to give a shit about me. I'm sure she'd heard every sad story known to man many times over. But for some reason, in a seemingly random act of compassion, she took pity on ME…Rick. There wasn't an opening sniff, or build-up of tears; the baggage of sadness, anger and frustration (a horrible name for a 70's rock group by the way) of the previous year and a half was coming out, and it can best be described as an uncontrolled wail. It went on for a 15 minutes, followed by a heavy sigh. Then it started again. It kept up for nearly an hour. It was my release valve. Poor Cracker didn't have a clue. He was giving me this, "Oh shit. We out of food?" bewildered look. That evening I laid my head down on a pillow of dried snot (sorry for the visual). If you're wondering why I didn't turn the pillow over, then you haven't been paying attention. The reverse side was worse. The emotional release was similar to a scab you'd resisted picking for days, weeks, and then one day it flakes off on its own, and there's fresh skin underneath. My mind turned to those who may be on the brink and haven't told anyone, and there's no kind stranger to pull them back. It's not mental illness; it's the human condition. No man is an island, indeed.
I've always been terrible at accepting gifts, favors, anything. I'd much rather be the giver. But I knew in this case I had to do something for this lady; this middle-aged, tattooed, Hispanic angel. She didn't seem to be the type with a budding stand-up career, so I couldn't just write her a couple of one-liners about LA traffic. I had received from my mother 2 gift cards for Outback Steakhouse. I hadn't eaten there in months and was really looking forward to a couple of simple sirloin alternatives to my regimen of fast food. The two meals would become one meal. I took one of the gift cards to the front desk and asked if she had been to the Outback a few miles away. She replied she hadn't but she and her husband had always meant to. I reached in my pocket, and handed her the gift card, with the sincerest "thank you" I'd ever uttered. Nothing else needed to be said. She knew exactly what I meant and smiled back with a polite nod. There are times in life where less is more; where you should say the minimum, shut the fuck up, and take in the moment. This time at least, I'd handled it correctly. I turned and walked out. I had a shift to get to, but knew the sun would rise tomorrow.

Grilled vegetables – Delicious whatever the season
As well as sausages and steak, grilled vegetables are making an appearance on more and more BBQs this season. They're tasty, healthy and incredibly diverse. Read on for our top tips on preparing Mediterranean antipasti during the winter months too.
Barbequing is big news. There's nothing we love more than the smell of grilled meat and sausages lingering in the air on a warm summer evening. But as well as meat, grilled vegetables are also becoming increasingly popular among BBQ enthusiasts. They are easy to prepare and an ideal basis for a fresh antipasti platter. Simply thread your preferred veggies onto skewers, place on the grill, and turn regularly so they cook evenly. Add onions, garlic and rosemary to your bell peppers, courgettes and aubergines to whip up a Mediterranean delicacy in minutes.
Grilled vegetables – Just as easy in winter
Grilled vegetables are just as appetizing in the winter months too, and so easy to prepare. A casserole dish is the best way to cook larger quantities. Cut potatoes, carrots and fennel into bite-size pieces. Our Vapianisti recommend mixing with with garlic, thyme and lashings of olive oil to recreate that unique taste of summer when it's cold outside. Season with salt and pepper before baking at 200°C for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve!
Still reminiscing about that memorable Italian holiday? Our Vapianisti have just the dish for you. Antipasti Tricolore. Grease a baking tray and cover with tomato halves and avocado slices. Braise until golden brown. Then mix with basil and feta cheese to recreate that inimitable Mediterranean taste in your own home.

I think something is wrong with my eyes and my taste.
I thought Michael Kors' bags are not that expensive (well, as far as I know and based on my friend's bag). I thought it will be between $200ish - $400ish until I surf the Internet and see this bag... I love it!
When I look at the price, my eyes are dropping. Whattt?! Is it that expensive?
As I still don't believe with my eyes, I went to the official website... It's cheaper but only like $200 less, still considered expensive.
The bag does not look tough tho. Not sure if the material is firm and hard or if it is the soft leather.
I also saw someone carrying the below in navy blue yesterday. Not bad and way way cheaperrrrr.... but it looks like a bit like Celine trapeze bag. Hmmm, actually... both of them look a bit like Celine, don't you think?
Oh well! I seriously need to be careful with what I see and what I like.
NB: all pictures taken from Michael Kors official website.

It's Mardi Gras day. Aside from dodging your drunk uncle and bead-snatching kids, you have to make time for one thing: "catching" the Mardi Gras Indians on any one of their circuitous and spontaneous routes through the neighborhoods. Their intricate costumes and headdresses never cease to amaze, down to each deliberately-placed bead and feather.
The culture of the Mardi Gras Indians is one rooted deeply in New Orleans. Though there are several theories on the Mardi Gras Indians' beginnings, one thing is clear—the traditions and rituals draw heavily from the culture of Native American tribes.
The popular story goes that Black inhabitants, both enslaved and free, were not a part of the original Mardi Gras celebrations due to slavery and deeply ingrained racism. Resourceful and proud, however, they created their own celebrations.
The Mardi Gras Indian tribes have a clear hierarchy. There is the Big Chief, flanked by two other chiefs and spy boys, flag boys, wild men, and medicine men. Each chief also has a queen.
For Black Mardi Gras Indians, The "Indian" theme was chosen to pay homage to the Native Americans, with whom they had formed a special bond as many Native American tribes opened their villages to the enslaved who claimed their freedom by running away. Interactions with Native Americans fueled the mixing and mingling of cultures that gave us the Mardi Gras Indians of today with their elaborate costumes and intense rituals.
Cherice Harrison-Nelson, teacher, activist, culture bearer, and Queen of the Guardians of the Flame, is committed to preserving the culture of the Indians.
"For many, being a Mardi Gras Indian is a calling. It is a spiritual experience that consumes your being; it is in fact, a way of being," she says.
This lifestyle has been ingrained into her very being through the practices of her father the late Big Chief Donald Harrison, Sr, who had been masking since 1949. It was this culture, coupled with her mother's establishment of day care centers, that fueled her commitment to sharing Mardi Gras Indian culture with youth.
Besides Mardi Gras, every year on St. Joseph's Day (March 19) and Super Sunday, the Indian tribes march down the streets of their neighborhoods, chanting and dancing. When two tribes cross paths, it is definitely a spectacle. Anticipation keeps onlookers rooted to their spot as they watch the Spy Boy warn the Flag Boy of a tribe coming. The Flag Boy then notifies the tribe and the Wild Man comes out to make way for the Big Chief's performance. The Big Chiefs must challenge each other. They dance and shout back and forth about being the best chief.
In 1999, Harrison-Nelson founded the Mardi Gras Indian Hall of Fame, dedicated to illuminating the authentic experiences of diverse members of the Black/Mardi Gras Indian community. It was established as a part of the curriculum at Oretha Castle Haley Elementary School, where she was on the faculty.
She, along with her mother Herreast Harrison, also founded the Guardians Institute in 2006 in honor of her father who was Big Chief of the Guardians of the Flame, which is "dedicated to the development of our youth through literacy, New Orleans' indigenous cultural arts and West African and New World oral traditions."
Through these two organizations, the Harrison family contributes to the culture and upbringing of many youths in the Ninth Ward neighborhood and throughout New Orleans.
The Donald Harrison, Sr. Museum houses many intricate costumes, artwork, music collections and paraphernalia that are associated with the Mardi Gras Indian culture. They also put on the Mardi Gras Indian Hall of Fame Week Celebration, in which they honor New Orleanians who have contributed to the preservation of their culture and community.
The Mardi Gras Indian Hall of Fame and the Donald Harrison Sr. Museum are open from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. for tours by appointment. For more information or to make reservation, call 504-214-6630.

text: My 16-year-old daughter was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder six months ago. But now her psychiatrist is saying that he thinks she may also have dissociative identity disorder (DID), also known as multiple personality disorder. Unfortunately, he has no experience diagnosing or treating DID, so he wants us to go to an expert who does. He doesn't know of any such professional, and I have researched high and low, talked to dozens of professionals, gotten referral lists from every organization, etc. – only to find that there is no DID expert in Arizona. So now we are willing to travel anywhere in the U.S. to find a DID expert who can assess and treat our daughter. Does anyone know of a psychiatrist or psychologist who has extensive experience with DID?

Research explains that student engagement significantly improves student commitment, student focus, and student learning. Our academic curriculum is driven by hands-on, project-based learning that inspires high student engagement.
On average, 8th grade students score roughly 10% below their 5th grade achievement scores in mathematics and reading. Peter Meyer writes, "By all accounts, the middle grades are the weak link in the chain of American education."
As a small school, we establish meaningful personal relationships with students and families. In turn, we design responsive programs that challenge and support each individual student. Because students learn well when they are doing well.
However, students often feel "invisible" or "ignored" at large, impersonal middle schools. As a result, middle schools report a significant increase in negative student behaviors.
Our school model indexes costs to family income so that every family can afford tuition. Because research explains that students in diverse, integrated schools consistently outperform peer students in segregated schools.
In fact, research explains that New York City public schools are the most highly segregated urban schools in the United States. As a result, families have limited access to high-quality schools.

Google+ is gone, shuts down April 2, 2019
Google+ shut down accounts | In December 2018, Google announced their decision to shut down Google+ for consumers in April 2019 due to low usage and challenges involved in maintaining a successful product that meets consumers' expectations.
Here are the shut down details:
On April 2nd, the Google+ account and any Google+ pages you created will be shut down and we will begin deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts. Photos and videos from Google+ in your Album Archive and your Google+ pages will also be deleted. You can download and save your content, just make sure to do so before April. Note that photos and videos backed up in Google Photos will not be deleted.
The process of deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts, Google+ Pages, and Album Archive will take a few months, and content may remain through this time. For example, users may still see parts of their Google+ account via activity log and some consumer Google+ content may remain visible to G Suite users until consumer Google+ is deleted.
As early as February 4th, you will no longer be able to create new Google+ profiles, pages, communities or events.
Shutting down Google+ Take Away – If you don't own it, you don't control it.
If you spend all your time and depend on a 3rd party application like those listed below to run your business, be sure you have a backup plan. Don't put all your marketing eggs in one basket. Imagine investing all your time, money and hours in a social media/marketing application only to discover they are shutting down or sold to a different company.

Hub Spot
Sales Force
Infusion Soft
Home Advisor
Angies List

I am not telling you to avoid using 3rd party apps. Just make sure you do not totally depend on any 3rd party application to run your business. Be very careful how much time and money you invest in 3rd party apps. owned and controlled by other companies. The demise of Google Plus is a cautionary tale every small business person should remember.

What is SEO? How is it beneficial for your business?
Having a presence on the Internet has many advantages for any business with the use of quality website design. These include the possibility of reaching more potential customers, increasing sales, and saving on promotion. In this article, we will discuss the ways that your small or medium sized business can take advantage of these benefits.
The main thing is to have a plan and defined digital marketing strategies. Within the tactics that you apply, you should not leave aside Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
SEO is the set of actions that you apply on the website and outside of it to improve your visibility and get positioned in the results of search engines. They are tactics that are used by search engine crawlers to find things on the web. In this way, they identify what it is about, classifies it, and gives it a position on the results page.
By applying an appropriate SEO strategy, the business benefits from more organic visits. It allows to improve the branding and increases the credibility of the business. It also favors conversions. Although in principle, not all visitors are converted into sales, there are more possibilities to obtain customers.
How will SEO Help Your Business?
- Improves visibility and brand awareness
A key part of SEO is the keywords. Keywords are the terms for which you want to position yourself on Google or any other search engine. Choosing the right keywords, focused on the niche you are targeting will make more people find you.
In other words, they will improve the visibility of your website. The keywords must be related to your business, with the products and services you offer. Do not limit yourself to the main keyword, have one for each page that you want to position and look for similar words with which you can replace them.
When a user searches the internet, he does not do it for a single term. The chances are that they will change the search parameters several times. That's why using synonyms, and specific terms will give you more opportunity to position yourself.
By appearing on the results page, the user will be aware of your brand. Timely information and quality content will make them remember your website.
- Increase the credibility of your business
Being in the first places of Google or any search engine is a sign of confidence. Getting there means that the search engine thinks that your website is relevant and that it offers valuable content to users.
Then, whoever sees your site among the top ten results will assume that you are a reliable source. Also, few users will go beyond the first page of results in search of information.
75% of people only see the first page of results, according to Search Engine Journal.
- You get quality traffic
SEO will attract qualified traffic to your website. With these techniques, you seek to reach people who are interested in your products or services and to increase conversions. This is achieved by segmenting users and optimizing with your buyer in mind.
Choosing the right keywords is essential to get quality traffic. It should be noted that not all visits will become conversions. However, the more people enter the web, the more chances there are to sell more, get more downloads, subscriptions or whatever your goal is.
- It is a long-term strategy
As we mentioned, no website is positioned from one day to the next. In counterpart, when you apply an SEO strategy, the results are more lasting over time. This differentiates it from other campaign types that are only temporary.
It is worth spending the necessary time to plan and execute the SEO strategy. Because once you are in position, you will only have to stay in the first places. If you have questions about how to develop a strategy you can contact us and ask for a free quote.
- Improved web usability
Web optimization is composed of external and internal factors. This last group includes the actions taken within the website to improve positioning. It is also known as SEO on-page.
The on-page SEO actions are applied not only to facilitate the tracking of the pages by the bots of the search engines but also in facilitating the browsing your website for users.
For this, we must pay attention to the design and architecture of the page. So that the visitor finds what he is looking for in a few clicks. The loading time of the web must be reduced, and a network of internal links must be created to facilitate navigation.
- SEO is a profitable strategy
We already mentioned that SEO is not free; it requires some investment. However, in return, the benefits are greater than what you get with other digital marketing strategies. The Return on Investment of SEO is higher than traditional advertising.
This strategy allows reaching the people who are interested in your product or service in an organic way. By identifying your target audience, you apply actions to attract them, convert them into clients and then retain them.
Also, you have the opportunity to identify new market niches. Therefore, to develop new business ideas.

Labor and Delivery
Labor and Delivery
If you're currently pregnant or trying to get pregnant, you're probably curious about the labor and delivery process. Labor and delivery occurs during the end of your third trimester when your body begins transitioning and getting ready to deliver your baby. There are many different stages of labor and delivery that will determine how and when your baby will be born.
Stages of Labor
There are three main stages of labor; early and active labor, birth, and after birth. Stage one of labor starts when the muscles of your uterus begin contracting and then relax. The contractions are helping your cervix thin out and open, called effacing and dilating. This will allow the baby to pass through the birth canal in stage two. There are three phases in stage one, including early labor where you have irregular contractors that last less than a minute, active labor with strong contractors lasting about a minute, and transition where your cervix opens completely and the baby gets ready for birth. In stage two, your cervix is fully dilates and you will birth your baby. Stage three follows the birth of your baby when you have contractors to pass the placenta.
Managing Pain
Pain is often the biggest concern during childbirth aside from the health of your unborn baby. There are many ways to manage pain, whether or not you decide to have an epidural pain medication. Natural ways of managing pain during labor and delivery include breathing exercising, having excellent support, and trying a variety of positions. They may not lessen the pain, but they help you manage it. You can also listen to certain kinds of music or use imagery to help distract you from the pain. The main course of pain medication for childbirth is called an epidural, which is an injection that will partially or fully numb your body from the waist down.
Preparing for Labor and Delivery
There are other things that are recommended for getting ready for labor and delivery. This includes getting regular exercise throughout your pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimester as well as doing kegel exercises. Kegel exercises will strengthen your pelvic floor muscles which can aid you during labor and delivery. They also prevent a long period of pushing during labor. In the third trimester, it is also recommended that you take a childbirth education class with a support person or your partner. They will help you learn more about labor and delivery and how to manage your pain.

TIMING: A critical factor in business.
Success often depends upon sensing the moment and moving with the market. Failure to provide the right product or service at the right TIME can spell disaster.
God also has a perfect TIMEtable. And we can easily miss it by:
Rushing ahead of Him — Often out of impatience, presumption or impetuousness.
"He who makes haste with his feet errs." (Proverbs 19:2b)
Or by:
Lagging behind Him — Often out of fear of failure or perfectionist tendencies.
Because God has a perfect TIMEtable, "He has made everything beautiful in its TIME." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
For example: Upon learning of Lazarus' illness, Jesus delayed traveling to visit him by two days to await his death. Upon His arrival, Christ found Lazarus entombed and proceeded to raise him to life. (See John 11:1-42)
God's perfect TIMING!
QUESTION: Do you have challenging decisions on your hands? Then follow the Psalmist's counsel on tapping into God's TIMING:
(1) "Rest in the Lord…
(2) Wait patiently for Him…
(3) Keep to His way… "
He then promises to "exalt you to inherit the land"! (Psalm 37:5, 7, 34, 37)
May I suggest two additional considerations in determining God's TIMING:
1. Inner Peace: "And let the peace of Christ RULE in your heart… " (Colossians 3:15a) If you lack inner peace, the TIME to act is not now.
2. Your wife's consensus: God has endowed our spouses with a ton of common sense, and an intuitive capability that far surpasses that of most men. A man therefore, is a FOOL if he chooses to ignore his wife's advice as it relates to TIMING.
Because TIMING is so essential for success, God invites us to walk with Him in the living out of our lives. After all, "He has made everything beautiful in its TIME."

Well, its half term this week, so the kids are off school. Hubby has gone away with work for the week also, so the parents are down for the week. On Sunday night I suddenly began suffering from horrendous ear pain – which culminated in me crying and screaming for about 10 minutes until suddenly my ear drum burst with blood and pus everywhere (lovely). So I'm on these babies for a week as it was caused by an severe ear infection. Cannot hear a thing in my right ear, hope that improves!
In other news my Jamberry consultants kit arrived:
I'm pretty pleased 🙂
I've booked myself a few parties – one facebook, and one at a local café 🙂
If anyone has stood still lately I've been jamberrying them haha
The eldest, youngest and my latest Jamicures, and the youngest being 3 and insisting on doing it himself haha 🙂
We have also been out and about whilst the weather was good. Prior to my exploding ear drum moment we went to the beach at Cawsand (one of our favourite beaches)
I, of course, took my knitting 🙂
The next day we set up our new paddling pool 🙂 The kids went mad for it 🙂 Havin 4 kids we need a fairly large one now haha
Been enjoying my paper cutting lately too
Unfortunately though I ran out of blades and my replacements didn't arrive until today 😦
So I can resume what I was doing! yay!
I have also made a quick dress for my mum, its called a Jiffy dress, a reproduction of a 1960s simplicity dress pattern.
I really liked this simple pattern, it was very satisfying – I will go more in depth in my 'how I did' post 🙂

I actually really enjoyed the first episode of Minecraft: Story Mode from Telltale Games though with this quick after sneak release episode I was more than disappointed. The first major issue I had with this episode is that it's half the length of usual episodic games like this, I had finished in well under an hour of time. Now, this very well might have been due to their decision to completely switch paths as there are two separate areas you can explore for the first twenty minutes depending on which of your friends you decided to travel with last time. It's still no excuse to completely cut down the episode length since the paths connect regardless of your choices and I don't want this short episode trend to continue. The story itself also really didn't progress at all this time around as it was fairly easy to assume what would have happened following the first episode. While it did still provide great laughs and charming moments, the episode also was much weaker in terms of narrative. While I still think the voice acting is great, the interactions between characters just wasn't as great and this episode fell flat.
Everything looks and plays in exact detail to what their Minecraft counterparts would be like. It was so great seeing the many Minecraft creatures they were able to stuff into this episode and fans of regular Minecraft will love that. There was even a great amount of story detail that was starting to be built up and created a sense of lore for Minecraft. The voice acting was well done with every character feeling absolutely unique. The game does look more akin to animated Minecraft videos which I'm sure many of you have seen before which was fine. Combat within the game was rather stiff, there were also many background flashes which were definitely buggy portions as it the Telltale way (the badly need a new engine). Finally would like to mention that the game has some neat side crafting areas where you can decide what to build in order to complete a task.
It was great to have a game from Telltale release episodes so quickly together though I felt they should have done more in regards to making it a more full experience. This episode featured a much weaker story with one of the two split path options being awfully boring. I did take the time to go back and play both to sides of the split in order to get a full understanding of what variations could happen though it really had minimal effect on the story. This was probably the worst episode of any Telltale Game in recent memory and really disappointing since the first started on such a decent note. Will also say that at some point they need a new engine as the episodes continue to look choppier as time progresses and that was once again a complaint here. Hopefully things pick up from this rushed episode since I'd love for Minecraft to get a proper story as the first episode has started to build something special.

Median household income not cutting it for first-time home buyers
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
For new homebuyers, the median household income doesn't seem to cut it.
The average first-time homebuyer earns about $72,500, which is higher than the country's overall median household income of $60,700, according to Zillow. The drop is even greater for peers of new homeowners that didn't buy a house, as their median income sits at just $42,500.
The $30,000 gap between new purchasers and their counterparts who didn't buy highlights affordability challenges in the current housing climate, brought on by tight supply pushing up property values and simultaneously rising mortgage rates.
Home purchasers rely on savings, for the most part, to afford a down payment, but proceeds from the sale of a previous home is the second-most tapped method, and it's one that first-time purchasers can't exhaust.
The typical first-time homebuyer puts down 14.5% for a home purchase, compared to 20% for the majority of repeat buyers. With this lower down payment amount, first-timers earning the median household income can afford to buy a house worth $338,000, meaning 32% of homes on the market are out of reach to them, according to a RealEstate.com report.
At 83.7%, first-time homebuyers can afford the largest share of homes in St. Louis. The opposite is true for Los Angeles, where purchasers buying a house for the first time can only afford 25.4% of homes.
"Buying a home, especially for the first time, is a major step in a lot of people's lives. But with home prices climbing ever higher, and inventory yet to see sustained increases, getting a foot in the door is incredibly difficult for new buyers who can't rely on selling another home to come up with a down payment," Justin LaJoie, general manager at RealEstate.com, said in a press release.

NXT Catch-up and Results 5.16.18 w/ Heather
After a brief hiatus I'm back to touch base with the happenings in NXT these past couple of weeks. With the recent call ups it looks lik NXT is devoted to creating some new stars, while continuing to keep the most dastardly bastard on earth employed.
Shayna Baszler is standing tall right now as the NXT women's champion, but NXT has steadily over the past few weeks continued to build the profile of other female stars. Shayna's next opponent right now seems poised to be Dakota Kai, who has been downright terrified by the former MMA fighter. After a victory over Vanessa Borne on last week's NXT, who had previously mocked Dakota over her fear of Shayna, Shayna choked Vanessa out while Dakota looked on stricken. The whole thing has gotten more complicated after this week's NXT with a thankfully still visible Nikki Cross seemingly very interested in the goings on of Dakota and Shayna. I'm glad to see her around because I find Nikki to be wildly entertaining, and honestly a great future opponent for the Queen of Spades. I don't think Dakota comes out of this feud with a victory, which makes it all a little confusing how her character will build from this and recover from just being scared of the big bad wolf (Shayna). I suppose it could lead to a storyline arc for Dakota where she builds up her confidence and finds her #TeamKick powers to be a strong and confident opponent to a scary champion. I just don't think it happens in this current feud.
Where Nikki Cross fits in I have no idea, but I'm glad she hasn't been totally left on the wayside. She seems to be building Dakota up to "face her fears", but Nikki's not one to just build up other female superstars for their own gain. She absolutely should be mixing it up with Shayna because Nikki is a "terrifying" opponent herself. Whether or not she ends up in a feud with Shayna or Dakota next I'm down with it, but it should be Shayna.
Meanwhile there's another women's storyline happening, and we can all benefit from the inclusion of these awesome ladies. Kairi Sane seems to have run into a bit of a problem with Lacey Evans who attacked Kairi with a microphone two weeks ago after a match with Shazza McKenzie. This week, Kairi got her revenge by attacking Lacey after her match with Brandi Lauren. It's good to not have Kairi immediately mixing it up with Shayna, which is where I thought they'd go after Ember Moon, mostly because we get to see development of more than just one female talent going for the top. I do think for now Lacey is just a means to an end to build Kairi up, but her look and her move set is impressive. There was a time at NXT house shows when Lacey was teaming with male superstars in a possible stable, and I do think that will still come to pass on NXT TV. Maybe after she and Kairi wrap up this feud. I'd like to see this play out for awhile though as both ladies deserve the exposure and having multiple female feuds is a positive look.
Two weeks ago we also got another look at breakout Mae Young Classic competitor Bianca Belair who picked up a big victory over Candice LaRae. While Candice has been distracted by her husband's feud with the asshole Tommaso Ciampa which could be the "excuse" for her loss, giving Bianca a win and putting her in front of the crowd is a real win. That girl needs to be a star.
Tag Teams Back Again, Check it Wreck it Let's Begin
While The Undisputed Era has been wrapped up in a feud with Pete Dunne and reluctant partners Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan (a week ago they called Dunne garbage backstage), other tag teams have tried to raise their status. A steamrolling War Raiders team defeated Heavy Machinery last week handily, and while we didn't get a tag team match this week (outside the 6 man Main event) it seems Heavy Machinery is going to get mixed up with a HEELISH??? TM61 next week. Two weeks ago saw TM61 turn their backs on their baby face ways and cheat to win against the Street Profits. As we saw on NXT this week, Heavy Machinery didn't take kindly to that setting up next week's match.
I think War Raiders are clearly the team that will be pushed to the top, but I continue my love for TM61. I like the idea of a heel turn because these boys just need to do SOMETHING. I unfortunately do think Heavy Machinery and Street Profits are kind of just two teams scraping the surface of NXT success right now. I am slightly surprised by The Undisputed Era losing to Dunne, Burch and Lorcan this week, and that builds the profile of Lorcan and Burch a ton. They're now a credible team in this division and I would think the logical next opponents for Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly's titles.
It is important to note that there seemed to be some miscommunication with Roderick Strong causing the loss this week, and I imagine there could be a lot of little moments like that with this group, especially leading up to the recovery and return to the ring of Bobby Fish. It's also important to note that this Undisputed Era vs Dunne/Lorcan/Burch was a fun, exciting main event match.
King of this Castle
Thank goodness we have Velveteen Dream hanging around the main event scene. While I don't imagine he's going to stick around for long right now, it's good that he's getting the exposure. He and one of NXT's newest acquisitions Ricochet have certainly had their problems in the last couple of weeks, and it culminated in a match tonight. Of course that match was interrupted by who actually has to be the next contender for Aleister Black's NXT Title, Lars Sullivan. After a good match this week, with the crowd more pro-Dream than Pro-Ricochet, Sullivan made his presence known and it all leads to a handicap match next week Ricochet & Dream vs Lars Sullivan. There's almost no way that doesn't end with Dream walking out on his partner meaning their feud will continue, but I suppose I could be wrong. It could be one of the only ways to get Ricochet cheered over Dream though, which I think is important. Obviously Ricochet is going to get over like rover, but I don't know that the best idea was having him feud with SUCH a fan favorite first.
As for Lars Sullivan's prospects and his potential NXT title chances well… I kind of just don't care. Sullivan hasn't won me over, and really he's just a road block to whoever is next for Black.
And This AHole
We haven't seen Johnny Gargano since Tommaso "Son of a Bitch" Ciampa put him in a stretcher a few weeks ago, and Ciampa has been gloating ever since. He had a GREAT match with Kassius Ohno last week that he obviously won (not sure when we'll see a deserved Ohno victory), and he teased the crowd, Mauro Ranello and all of us this week when he had the nerve to enter to Johnny's music. Obviously I think Gargano will be back soon, but I liked his fiery wife Candice LaRae confronting Ciampa this week. I'm still waiting for Ciampa to do the absolute unthinkable and take out Mrs. Wrestling to really light that fire under Johnny. Of course I'm also now just waiting for Candice to totally flip and join forces with the Blackheart because this is wresting and there is no happiness in wrestling.
These have been some exciting weeks in NXT and the changing of the guard is clearly happening. While we don't have a clear opponent for Adam Cole's North American Title right now I think it's fine because he's wrapped up with UK Champion Pete Dunne. I would like them to remember they HAVE this brand new Championship but I give them the benefit of the doubt. We also saw new NXT Superstars EC3 and Kona Reeves debut these past few weeks and within two weeks both had victories over I guess NXT punching bag Raúl Mendoza. One of these two debuts I liked more than the other. I'll let you all decide.
Results (5-16-18)
Lacey Evans defeated Brandi Lauren
Velveteen Dream vs Ricochet ends in No Contest (Lars Sullivan interference)
Kona Reeves defeated Raúl Mendoza
Oney Lorcan/Danny Burch/Pete Dunne defeated The Undisputed Era
You can always find me over on twitter at HM_Pufnstuf yelling about something!

I really wanted to create some interesting vegan recipes using a cider made practically on our doorstep! With our upcoming pop-up at The Inn at Home (independent craft ale and wine shop in Newbury)
I've been experimenting with Tutt's Clump Royal Berkshire 'Proper Cider'.
I love the ethos behind this brand. The products are made in small batches and everything including bottling is done on site in rural Berkshire. The cider is made purely and simply from fruit juice, with added sugars or water.
"Tutt's Clump cider making process is also sustainable. Part of the process will always include collecting unwanted apples locally, with any waste or unsuitable fruit and pomace given to local farmers to feed their pigs."
What's not to love?!
• Olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 heaped tsp garlic powder
• 1 heaped tsp onion powder
• 1 large carrot, finely chopped
• 1 red pepper, diced
• ½ courgette, diced
• 1/3 cup red spit lentils
• 1 400g tin butterbeans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tbsp tomato puree
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 400g tin tomatoes
• 200ml cider
• 250ml vegetable stock, made using 1 heaped tsp bouillon & boiling water
• 1 heaped tsp dried thyme
• 1 heaped tsp dried sage
• Maldon salt & black pepper, to taste
• 1 heaped tbsp. dried chives, plus extra 1 tbsp for sprinkling
This stew can be served alongside a generous portion of mash potato for a satisfyingly hearty meal. Alternatively, roast potatoes are always a crowd pleaser! Or how about a nice chunk of good quality bread… perfect for mopping up the delicious sauce

I didn't include the following quote in Sunday's sermon, ultimately because I'm not sure Matthew Henry's speculation is right. Nevertheless, I like this kind of speculation.
"The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam, not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him; under his arm to be protected and near his heart to be beloved."
Pastor Erik

Why You Should Stay Out of the Left Lane at Night
Did you know that most wrong-way drivers get on the freeway and go straight to the far right-hand side? They think they are in the slow lane but since they are going the wrong way, they are actually in the fast lane.
Staying out of the fast lane late at night may help you avoid an intoxicated driver traveling the wrong direction.
Here's another tidbit I didn't know: look out for red road reflectors.
If you see a vehicle coming towards you and wonder for a split second if it is you who is the wrong-way driver, quickly check the reflectors on the road. If they are yellow or white, you are driving on the correct side of the road. Many road reflectors are dual colored-with white on one side and red on the other. If you see red reflectors on the road, it is a warning that you are the wrong-way driver and you need to get off the road as soon as possible.
Another helpful tip is to always look ahead.
Driving, especially on roads that you know well, can become almost automatic. Most drivers don't pay as much attention as they should or scan further than a few hundred feet in front of them. If you are always looking ahead and scanning the road in front, you will be able to spot any oncoming danger and deal with it before it is too late.
