Splendid Successful Suprise!
So I haven't been able to write about my secret plans for my mom's 60th surprise party….but now I can!!! For the past two months we had been planning a small gathering of people for a dinner celebration. About 50 people showed up and the plan was flawless!!! My mom had NOOOOO idea!!! We were able to get all four kids in town without her suspecting anything. (Sorry mom for all the little white lies I have told!!!) It was a beautiful evening of good Italian good, pomegranate martinis, and great company!! I've never been at the forefront of planning a surprise party so this was very exciting! 🙂 Here are some pictures!

Looking to breathe new life into your walls?
While few people would debate the aesthetic excellence of wall coverings over paint, we might be surprised to note that Wall Coverings have returned from the retro times.
Lifecycle analysis have also shown that wall coverings now last five times longer than paint, under normal usage conditions. Most wall coverings can retain their original beauty and performance characteristics for at least 10 years, whereas a painted surface must be cleaned more frequently to maintain its appearance, and generally requires repainting approximately every three years. While the initial investment may be higher, choosing wall coverings over paint can result in a savings of not less than 30% or more over time.
Aesthetic Appeal
Modern wall coverings contain aesthetic appeal unmatched by painted surfaces. Consider painted surfaces in their various states as compared to wallpaper:
- Flat Color: One room, one color.
- Accent Wall: One room, one color except for one uniquely colored wall.
- Textured Paint: Paint containing a media to give it texture.
- Custom Paint: Mural designs using paint.
- Faux Finishes: Custom paint designs that add pattern and depth.
While most people are familiar with these major painting techniques, many are uninformed as to their counterparts in wallpaper. As well, few know of the unique features that one can obtain only with wallpaper.
- Flat Color: Though not particularly popular, there are single color wallpapers available.
- Accent Wall: Can be achieved by utilizing wallpaper on one wall.
- Textured Paint: There are many varieties of textured wallpaper from plain to ornate.
- Custom Paint: Wallpaper manufacturers have a wide variety of mural wallpaper.
- Faux Finishes: Most popular faux finishes have their wallpaper counterparts.
- Historic Aspect: Imagine a Victorian style house without wallpaper.
- Digital: Computer generated designs custom printed onto wallpaper.
- Photographic: Consider creating custom wallpaper using family photos.
- Bridging Material: Using this special blank wallpaper, one can eliminate the costly and messy removal and repair of an unattractive textured or damaged wall surface.
- Faux Surface: Applying an expanded textured wallpaper followed by paint is a way to replicate the look of an expensive intricate molding at a greatly reduced cost.
- Natural Surface: Discover the luxury of natural fibers on the wall such as jute, grass cloth, sugarcane or bamboo among others.
- Fabric Walls: Cover your walls with your favorite fabric. Fabric may be hung as it comes off the bolt or backed and coated for increased durability.
- Wood Surfaces: The application of wood veneer wall covering in a variety of species adds formality at a fraction of the cost of a traditional wood paneling.
Increased Functionality
Consider the functionality of various kinds of wall coverings:
- Electromagnetic shielding wall covering: Used in commercial applications to reduce the amount of electromagnetic interference associated with many industrial applications such as computer rooms.
- Deodorizing wallpaper: Wallpaper infused with charcoal particles which act as a natural deodorizer.
- Acoustic wall covering: Though traditionally associated with commercial applications, these are more commonly utilized in homes with expensive surround sound systems or home theaters. These wall coverings are specifically engineered to absorb sound energy.
- Glow in the dark wall covering: Create a funky black light environment with fluorescent wallpaper.
- Cork wall covering: Useful as either a bulletin board, a natural sound deadening material, a natural wall covering, a textured wall covering, or a combination of its many functions.
- Metallic or organic wall covering: Imagine the impact of real copper or mica flakes as a wall covering.
- Leather wall covering: Consider the unparalleled warmness that only be obtained with a leather wall covering.
Thus, from the soothing symmetry or 'asymmetry' of natural materials to the iconic couture of the fashion runway, wall coverings delivers the aesthetic attitude you would want in your space. You would also be doing your environment proud as most wall coverings guarantee the 'green' effect.

3 lbs pork shoulder, skin and bone removed
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 medium white onion, medium dice
2 tsp ancho chile powder
Cut the meat, with the fat, into 1-in cubes. Barely cover the meat with water in a heavy, wide pan. Add the salt, cumin, and half the cilantro; bring to a boil, uncovered. Lower to a simmer and cook undisturbed, until all the water has evaporated and meat is tender, but not falling apart, about 1 hour.
Lower heat and cook to render the fat, adding a few drops of oil, if necessary to get it started, keeping the fattiest parts of the meat near the bottom of the pot. Keep turning the meat until it is lightly browned all over, about 10 minutes. Some will stick to the bottom. Stir in the onions garlic, and chile powder, trying not to break up the meat too much.
Deglaze with 1/4 cup cold water. Cook for a few minutes more, stirring occasionally and scraping up any browned bits.
Can be made 5 days in advance.
Notes: I took the advice of this much-lamented newsletter of the Culinary Institute of America (I curse the day they discontinued my subscription) and used this as a filling with grilled tortillas (right on the stove burner) with tomatoes and cheese and fresh cilantro. OMG - good.Posted by Jennifer at February 22, 2008 7:14 PM | TrackBack
Yum! The pork was tender and flavorful, with just a hint of heat, and it worked really well as part of the filling for what were effectively soft tacos. This is a definite winner.Posted by: Michael at February 25, 2008 7:56 PM

- GBP exchange rates gain – EU referndum polls show 'remain' lead
- EUR exchange rates steady – ECB uncertainty limits gains
- USD exchange rates soften– Rising crude prices reduce safe-haven demand
- Pound Sterling forecast to struggle – 'Brexit' fears continue to provide headwinds
GBP Exchange Rates Gain despite Disappointing CPI
Despite the fact that British inflation fell beyond expectations in April the Pound advanced versus most of its major peers. The appreciation was the result of a referendum poll which showed a lead for those voting to remain n the EU.
The Pound held gains against the Euro (trending in the region of 1.28) ahead of the publication of the UK's latest employment figures.
However, if average earnings decline Sterling could come under pressure in the hours ahead.
Pound Sterling (GBP) Exchange Rate Forecast to Trend Narrowly on Quiet Data Day
With a distinct lack of influential domestic data pertaining to any of the major assets, thin trade has seen subdued exchange rate volatility thus far during Monday's European session. The British Pound is trending within a limited range versus most of its currency rivals, despite data showing house prices rose in May.
'Buy-to-let investors have had a bricks and mortar feast between the chancellor's announcement in November and the tax deadline at the end of March,' said Rightmove director Miles Shipside. 'The result is a famine of suitable property and higher prices.'
The rise in British house prices had minimal impact on demand for the UK Pound, however. EU referendum uncertainty continues to weigh heavily on investor confidence. The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) cut growth forecasts to 2% for 2016 and 2017, down from 2.3% and 2.1% respectively. CBI argues that the UK will face an economic slowdown amid 'Brexit' uncertainty, which has already had a notable detrimental impact on sectoral growth.
CBI boss Carolyn Fairbairn said; 'A dark cloud of uncertainty is looming over global growth, particularly around weakening emerging markets and the outcome of the EU referendum, which is chilling some firms' plans to invest. At present, the economic signals are mixed – we are in an unusually uncertain period.'
Euro (EUR) Exchange Rate Forecast to Hold Steady despite USD Weakness
Given the complete absence of influential domestic data, with Ireland's Trade Balance data the only European publication, Euro exchange rates are trending comparatively statically versus major peers. A slight err towards appreciation, however, can be linked to US Dollar weakness.
The Euro's outlook remains clouded as a 'Brexit' vote in the UK is thought, by many, to have a more detrimental impact on Europe than the UK. This is because of the high chance that other smaller EU countries may emulate the UK amid growing disillusionment with the European Union.
Also weighing on investor confidence is uncertainty as to how the European Central Bank (ECB) will approach future policy decisions. With inflation growth remaining subdued and growth in the Eurozone still muted, there is a high chance that ECB policymakers will vote to ease policy further within the next few meetings.
However, the relationship between the ECB and Germany frayed as the currency bloc's most influential nation is increasingly unhappy with the accommodative policy stance of the ECB. This could prove a sticking point if the ECB does indeed opt to cut rates further into negative territory. The prospect of the German government calling for a referendum on its continued Eurozone status would be a significant blow for hopes of a closer union.
US Dollar (USD) Exchange Rate Forecast to Soften as Safe-Haven Demand Cools
Market sentiment was generally damp last week thanks to global equity market volatility and falling commodity prices. This allowed the US Dollar to appreciate versus some of its major peers, albeit fractionally.
With crude oil prices rising and Asian stocks recovering recent losses, however, risk-appetite improved. This saw reduced demand for the US Dollar. However, USD exchange rates have avoided a massive depreciation thanks to thin trading.
Even if we return to heightened safe-haven demand there is a good chance that the US Dollar will fail to sustain any significant gains. This is mostly in response to political uncertainty as the Presidential candidacy heats up. With controversial figure Donald Trump winning leadership of the Republican Party, concerns regarding future US foreign policy has dented trader confidence.
Trump has already foreshadowed difficult relationships with key global countries, stating recently that UK Prime Minister David Cameron's comments about Tump, following the latter's speech on temporarily banning all Muslims from the US, could sour the once firm Anglo-US relationship.
Speaking on UK TV earlier, Mr Trump said: 'It looks like we're not going to have a very good relationship, who knows. I hope to have a good relationship with him, but it sounds like he's not willing to address the problem either.'
The Pound Sterling to Euro (GBP/EUR) exchange rate was trending within the range of 1.2658 to 1.2718.
The Pound Sterling to US Dollar (GBP/USD) exchange rate was trending within the range of 1.4330 to 1.4412 during Monday's European session.

A week before launching his first pass in a competitive NFL setting
Jihad Ward Jersey Elite
, rookie quarterback Josh Allen stood in awe amid a throng of Buffalo Bills fans who were not only chanting his name but also that of his mother.
"Mrs. Allen! Mrs. Allen!" they yelled, trying to get the attention of LaVonne Allen, who was standing on New Era Field following a recent practice, watching her son signing countless autographs.
"I'm just kind of speechless right now," Josh Allen said, referring to the attention he and his mother have received since training camp opened three weeks ago.
"It's really cool to feel wanted by the fans," he added, noting there's nothing during his playing days at Wyoming that compares to what he's experienced since arriving in Buffalo. "I'm just trying to be the best quarterback possible. So as long as I'm playing well and improving every day, I will just continue this."
ff hunt with a 24-16 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.Tyrod Taylor also scored on a 9-yard touchdown run and Shareece Wright and Jordan Poyer intercepted Miami's Jay Cutler on consecutive drives to start the second half in a game Buffalo never trailed. Rookie Tre'Davious White sealed the win by intercepting Cutler with 28 seconds remaining 鈥?and a play after Miami punter Matt Haack recovered an onside kick at Miami's 37.The Bills have won three of four and improved to 8-6 to match the team's best start through 14 games during Buffalo's 17-year playoff drought 鈥?the longest active streak in North America's four major professional sports. The Bills were 8-6 in both 2004 and 2014 but missed the playoffs with 9-7 finishes.Buffalo also finished 6-2 at home to match its best finish at Orchard Park since 1999.Buffalo must now hit the road to continue its playoff pursuit in closing the season at New England next week and then at Miami on Dec. 31.The loss all but mathematically eliminated the Dolphins (6-8) from playoff contention, and after they ended a seven-year drought last season.McCoy opened the scoring with a 4-yard run to cap Buffalo's opening drive. Then, he put Buffalo up 14-6 with a 16-yard catch with 6:05 left in the second quarter on a drive during which McCoy became the 30th player to break the 10,000-yard rushing milestone.The ninth-year player reached the plateau with a 14-yard burst off right guard. McCoy was shaken up on the play while being tackled by Kiko Alonso.After missing just one snap, McCoy returned to the field and scored two plays later.This time, McCoy found his footing on dry turf, a week after braving the wintry elements while rushing for 156 yards on a snow-covered field and sealing Buffalo's 13-7 overtime win over Indianapolis.McCoy finished with 50 yards rushing, upping his career total to 10,011, and had four catches for 46 yards.Taylor showed no signs of a bruised left knee that forced him to miss one game. He went 17 of 29 for 224 yards and added 42 yards rushing.Miami was undone by familiar inconsistencies at quarterback and on defense

, while looking nothing like the team that stunned New England in a 27-20 win Monday night.Cutler's two interceptions came after he threw for three touchdowns and no interceptions against the Patriots.Miami's defense surrendered 328 yards offense to Buffalo, a week after holding New England to 248 yards.Even discipline was an issue.Early in the fourth quarter, receiver Jarvis Landry was flagged for pass interference to negate Kenny Stills' 12-yard reception. Then, Landry argued the call and was penalized again for unsportsmanlike conduct. Rather than being first-and-10 at Buffalo's 40, the Dolphins faced first-and-35 at their own 23 in a drive that led to them punting three plays later.Kenyan Drake had 78 yards rushing and scored on a 1-yard run. Cutler finished 28 of 49 for 274 yards and three interceptions.Cody Parkey also hit 28- and 41-yard field goals.TAYLOR TOUCHDOWNSTaylor scored a touchdown rushing and passing in the same game for the 10th time since taking over Buffalo's starting job in 2015. He joins Carolina's Cam Newton and Washington's Kirk Cousins as the only other players to do that 10 times since 2015.THIRD-DOWNAfter the Dolphins limited their past two opponents to converting just one of 24 third-down chances, the Bills converted their first two as part of a 10-play, 81-yard scoring drive capped by McCoy's four-yard run. Buffalo converted seven of 15 third-down chances.DOLPHINS IN DECEMBERMiami dropped to 9-4 in games played at Orchard Park, New York, in December or later.INJURIESDolphins: CB T.J.

Pre-Listing Market Valuation Appraisal
Have you been thinking about putting your home up for sale? Do you want to make sure that you price will enable a quick sale? If so, you may want to invest in a pre-listing market valuation appraisal.
If you work with a realtor to sell your home, they will help you price the home. The realtor will do some of the things an appraiser does to pinpoint a smart price, such as comparing it to similar homes and their recent sale prices. Even with a realtor there to help you, though, it can be worthwhile to hire an appraiser for a second opinion.
After all, any appraisal is just an opinion of a home's market value at a specific moment in time. The realtor's best guess is also just an opinion of value. Having two views to help you price your home is usually better than one—especially given the importance of pricing in the sale process.
If you are looking to sell your house on your own, without the aid of a realtor, then getting a prelisting market valuation appraisal should be one of your first steps. Even if you want to go the "For Sale by Owner" route, you can still benefit significantly from some professional insight.
The Consequences of Mispricing a Home
Pricing a home is one of the most challenging parts of the listing and selling process. If you price low, you will likely sell your home quickly—and might even have multiple potential buyers! However, you could also end up selling your house for less than it is worth, leaving money on the table that could have gone toward the down payment on your next home.
If you price too high, the consequences tend to be even worse. These days especially, with sophisticated online searching tools, prospective buyers only tend to look at homes that are within their price range. As such, pricing too high might mean that buyers in your area won't even look at your house. One law of real estate is that the more a home costs, the fewer potential buyers there are. Limiting your pool of prospective buyers through price means that you have to rely more on timing and luck to sell.
Overpricing can sometimes lead to even lower sale prices than you would have gotten if you had listed at a more modest, market-appropriate price. For one thing, the longer your home stays on the market, the longer you have to carry the mortgage payments. Especially if you have already purchased a new home, continuing to pay the mortgage on your old house can quickly drain your finances.
There is also a stigma against houses that have been on the market for a long time. Buyers assume there is something wrong with these properties. And while you can take the house off the market and then re-list it at a lower price, today's online tools allow buyers to see that history. Dropping the price on your home repeatedly shows potential buyers that you are desperate to sell, which means that they are less likely to give you a full-price offer if they do want to buy your house. You give all the negotiating power away the moment you drop the
listing price on your home.

Marine Painting Manual
199,98 €
Marine Painting Manual
It is a pleasure to introduce to the reader this new Marine Painting Manual. The previous edition, entitled Ship Painting Manual, was published in 1975. Since then a number of new technological developments have taken place. Also, standards with regard to safety, health and the environment have become more severe. These changes called for a thoroughly revised and updated Marine Painting Manual. I believe that the editor should be congratulated on having completed this task in such a commendable way. I hope that this new volume will find as enthusiastic a response among those concerned with maritime affairs as its predecessor did some fifteen years ago. Dr. Jan Raat Director Netherlands Foundation for the Co-ordination of Maritime Research INTRODUCTION The "Marine Painting Manual" sets out to provide clear guidelines for the effective protection of marine structures, ocean-going vessels and offshore platforms. Painting is a high cost procedure and is a crucial factor in determining the life and subsequent maintenance of steel structures in the marine environment. The book is a follow-up to the "Ship Painting Manual" published in 1975. It has been completely revised, partly rewritten and an additional chapter on offshore structures included. The present volume contains detailed and up-to-date information on all aspects of the preparation and painting for the protection of marine structures. The following chapters are included: 1. The protection of different parts of ships under construction. 2. The protection of different parts of offshore structures under construction. 3. Surface preparation.

The U.S. economy is said to be on the mend. By nearly all the measures experts like to use, the signals are positive. The positive numbers may not be as robust as might be desired, and the negative numbers might not be weakening as quickly as they could, but the trends appear to be in the right directions.

Tips for Arkansas residents to deal with medical debt
According to a report up by the online news source, NerdWallet, about 20 percent of Americans will face the hurdle of having to deal with a massive medical bill this year. These are bills that typically result because of significant accident or a diagnosis of major illness.
Bank's sale looks to end years of struggles managing debt
Business and personal bankruptcies tend to have processes that are slightly different. They do have one particular thing in common, though. In both cases, the entity filing for bankruptcy protection typically faces a debt burden that is too much to handle, and bankruptcy provides a legitimate means for addressing debt obligations while blocking the undesirable threat of creditor legal action.
Ex-Arkansas coach wins debt discharge through Chapter 7
The last two minutes of a football game often take a whole lot longer than the time that's on the clock. That being the case, perhaps it should not be too surprising that the Chapter 7 bankruptcy case involving former Arkansas Razorbacks coach John L. Smith continues to linger somewhat.

Here is our full-time crew:
Pictured left to right: Hailey Stiers, Shaun Periso, and Mandy Caldcleugh.
These folks are amazing. Each would be a star in their own right, and together they make the perfect team – diligent, tenacious, inquisitive, and really, just a lot of fun to work with. Most of all, perhaps, is that they really work hard.
They were kind enough to offer these brief bios:
Hi! My name is Hailey and I was born and raised in Fresno, CA. I attended UCSC and graduated with a B.A. in psychology in March 2011. After graduating, I moved to Hawaii where I worked and lived on a lettuce and coffee farm for 4 months. I began working at Lindencroft in August and immediately fell in love with the farm. I have seen it transition through summer, fall, and winter and am excited to see spring soon. Working at Lindencroft is helping to prepare me to have my own farm someday.
I'm also an avid distance runner and love to go trail running around the San Lorenzo Valley. Sometimes I even run along Highway 9 just for thrills. I'm also practicing to be a stand-up comedian. I think Linda appreciates this the most 🙂
Hi. I'm Shaun. I was born and raised in Santa Barbara, CA. where I grew up surfing and fishing the central coast. In Santa Barbara I worked as a climber with my dad, who has a small tree care company.
Since moving to Santa Cruz, I've been working up at Lindencroft. I love spending my time growing plants and being in the ocean.
Hi! My name is Mandy and I have been working at this beautiful farm for three months now. My husband, JP, and I moved to California two and a half years ago, from our home state of Louisiana. I graduated from LSU with a B.S. in Dental Hygiene in 2007. Very soon afterwards JP and I moved to Australia for two years where he obtained a Masters in Oenology. We then went on to New Zealand where we both worked for Spy Valley Winery, I in the vineyard and JP in the winery. Watching the sunrise every morning at work and being outside with nature made me feel truely alive. From then on I knew I wouldn't be spending my days in a dental office. It wasn't until we moved to California that I really fell in love with food and realized I needed to be an organic farmer. Shortly afterwards I found Freewheelin' Farm, where I worked as their apprentice for eight months last season. My interest was sparked and as soon as the season ended I took classes and obtained a Certification in Permiculture Design. I am facinated with growing food, continuosly reading and taking classes and courses whenever possible. I am so happy that life has led me in this direction and planted me at Lindencroft.

OS X Leocoin Mining Software – TAN: The Coin Without Boundary
Thank you so much for visiting our website in your search for "OS X Leocoin Mining Software" online. speed, very protected system, lower costs, fewer errors and removal of principal point of assault. There are many companies which are showing interest in the new It should be difficult to get more small gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having modest gains is more rewarding than attempting to resist up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to examine novels than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Secondly, there is more volatility and reward in currencies that have not made it to the profitability of websites like Coinwarz. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making gigantic ammonts of money with various forms of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin structure provides an informative example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an astonishing intellectual and technical achievement, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on very profitable business models made available because of the growing use of blockchain technology.
OS X Leocoin Mining Software – The Affluence Network – The Coin That Unit The World & People
Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could rise drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business that could lead to business being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation. A lot of people prefer to use a currency deflation, particularly those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Monetary solitude, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living pay check to pay check, it'd happen as part of your riches, with the rest allowed for other currencies. You have probably heard this many times where you generally distribute the nice word about crypto. "It is not volatile? What happens if the value accidents? " So far, several POS devices presents free transformation of fiat, alleviating some issue, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, many people will be reluctant to put up any. We need to find a method to fight the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not essential to comprehend how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it's fundamentally vital that you comprehend that there's a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we understand them now where Authorities and banks can only select to print endless amounts (I am not saying they are doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. When searching forOS X Leocoin Mining Software, there are many things to ponder.
OS X Leocoin Mining Software: The Affluence Network: What Coin?
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about OS X Leocoin Mining Software. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher chance of solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, depending on the amount of "shares" won.
If you are considering going it alone, it really is worth noting that the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter route. This option also creates a secure flow of revenue, even if each payment is modest compared to entirely block the wages. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers argue that there is "actual" worth, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that worth. The worth grows due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period that's worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some form of wages to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin consists of many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which will be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades lives.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason for this could be just that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory attempt. It's also possible that the regulators just don't understand the technology and its implications, awaiting any developments to act. In the case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might even be dealt being a product. Supporters of cryptocurrencies proclaim this form of personal income isn't managed by way of a key banking system and is not thus subject to the whims of its inflation. Since there are always a restricted quantity of products, this money's value is dependant on market forces, permitting owners to trade over cryptocurrency trades. If you are in search for OS X Leocoin Mining Software, look no further than The Affluence Network.
OS X Leocoin Mining Software: The Affluence Network: The New World Order, Maybe…
Since among the oldest forms of earning money is in cash lending, it's a fact that one can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, a few of these websites you're demanded fill in a captcha after a certain time period and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for seeing them. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a fair investment strategy. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, meaning the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the quantity of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Hence, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all existing bitcoins. This situation isn't to imply that markets are not exposed to price manipulation, yet there's no need for big sums of money to move market prices up or down. The smallest occasions on the planet economy can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also take part in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits advanced dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain constantly leaves public proof that the transaction happened. This can be possibly used within an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and validate these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they can get transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it is more resistant to wild inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy threats. Security and privacy can easily be realized by simply being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous.

Last weekend was a busy one in my kitchen.
It was also a bit of torture. And if you think I'm being melodramatic, then I'd like to see you make BBQ brisket in a slow cooker. You spend several hours smelling its BBQ yumminess knowing that you have hours and hours and hours to wait before you can have any, and then you just try to tell me that that isn't some sort of horrid, self-inflicted torture.
In the end, it has so totally been worth it. The two pounds of brisket that simmered for a little more than eight hours in the BBQ fixin's turned out just lovely.
Admittedly, this BBQ brisket won't be winning me any awards, but it was a very good first attempt at making BBQ. Especially if you take into account that 1) I rarely make any dishes that contain a beef ingredient that isn't ground and 2) that I have no real clue as to what goes into the making of BBQ.
That last comment might be a bit of an overstatement, if I'm being honest. The reality is that there are no BBQ from scratch recipes in my family. At least none that I've ever seen. So while I get the differences between Texas, Kansas and North Carolina BBQ, I've only ever really had BBQ from scratch while at a joint that specializes in BBQ.
Anyhow, the BBQ brisket was turned into pulled BBQ brisket sandwiches. Yummy. In fact, I had some leftovers last night, and it was just as good, if not better than when it came out of the slow cooker the first night.
At the end of it all, this BBQ attempt has inspired me to do a little more research into BBQ recipes so that I can better understand how it's done and then I can see what I can do to make it my own.
To go along with the BBQ brisket, I made two side dishes. Cole slaw. Easy enough. I've made it plenty of times before and went with my good ol' standby recipe from my trusty "Better Homes & Garden Cook Book." Unfortunately, since I now use that recipe as more a guiding post than a recipe, I got the proportions a little bit wrong. Oh well. It wasn't anything that couldn't be doctored up later on.
The other side dish qualified for the new-to-me category. It was a Baked Mexican Black Bean dish. This one was fun to make, even if I did misread the instructions and underestimate the cooking time by about an hour. It just meant that the BBQ brisket had to slow cook for a little bit longer.
This was a good dish made with a half pound of cooked bacon; onions and garlic sautéed in the bacon and bacon grease; add a whole jalapeño, a pound of black beans and six cups of liquid (chicken broth, water, a combo, or whathaveyou) dumped and in brought to a boil. Then, you throw all of that into the oven to bake for an hour covered up; and then add a can of diced tomatoes and bake it for another hour uncovered.
It was this last step that I missed when reading the directions. On the bright side, I realized this early enough to turn down the BBQ brisket so that it wouldn't overcook.
Like all bean dishes of this sort, it was great straight out of the pot and has been great in subsequent leftover dishes. Well… Actually, they've been really great straight out of the fridge on some tortilla chips, but I'm willing to bet that they'd be great in a burrito or quesadilla too.
And, lest you think I've been a horribly lazy person by not blogging about all of this earlier this week, let me tell you that I also made a third new-to-me dish last weekend.
It's a Tuscan Bean Dip. Very simple stuff. Lots of garlic sautéed in a quarter cup of olive oil until golden. Toss in a couple of teaspoons of fresh rosemary and a pinch or so of hot pepper flakes after the oil was taken of the heat. Now, at this point, if you had a grownup's food processor, you'd dump all a can of cannelloni beans and all but a teaspoon of the oil in that and process it till creamy enough to suit you taste.
In my case, I have a mini-food processor. So I mixed the beans and the oil together in a bowl and processed it in batches. That worked out just fine *and* I got to use my mini-food processor for the first time ever.
A fact that I hope doesn't upset my Mom or Dranny too much since they gave it to me eons ago thinking I'd use it to chop veggies.
A note for my Mom and Dranny: I was just scared of it and of liquefying the veggies instead of just chopping them. Really. I swear.
Back to the point…
When finished, the Tuscan Bean Dip was perfect on some toasted slices of french bread along with some goat cheese on some other slices. It was just right for a light supper in my case or would be a good appetizer-y dish in other instances.
At this point, you may well be wondering just how many cookbooks I managed to use this weekend. I am sad to report (sort of) that I only used one new cookbook.
One?! Just one?! Clearly, I am very not efficient at this whole cooking challenge thing.
The cookbook in questions was the surprisingly good "Food Network Kitchens Favorite Recipes." I say surprisingly good because I half expected this to be full of cast-off recipes that the Food Network stars didn't like. Instead, it's actually full of a lot of interesting, basic recipes for all types of occasions.
So while my cookbook usage efficiency is a bit on the crap side of things, the recipes were not. And there you have it.
Now I must be off. I have a new menu to plan.

Unlike other certificated enforcement (bailiff) companies in Essex we do not collect council tax, business rates or road traffic act debt but specialise only in commercial property and insolvency matters related to property.
This specialisation gives us a depth of knowledge and understanding of our clients requirements that we believe no other company can equal.

Do Seasonal Allergies Make You More Likely to Get Sick?
One expert, Neil Kao, a fellow of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, explains when white blood cells get overexcited and how a shower can be an allergy-sufferer's best defense against the summer cold.
On the Hunt
The immune system works to distinguish normally functioning cells from sickly ones or external agents such as bacteria or viruses that cause disease. It does that by sending out white blood cells to "sample" the receptors on foreign-seeming cells.
"It's sort of like touching your own hair and saying, 'Oh, right, that's me, move along,' " the Greenville, S.C., allergy specialist says.
Another big role the immune system plays is to destroy the cells that are foreign, damaged or cancerous. Pollen, dander, dust and mold comprise part of the normal universe. They should be sampled, deemed neutral, then left alone, Dr. Kao explains. But if you suffer from seasonal allergies, your immune system overreacts.
"Your body thinks the allergens are the front-line, and they attack," Dr. Kao says. "It's bad. It can feel like you didn't get a good night's sleep every day, all season." If you don't have seasonal allergies, he adds, "you can't appreciate how bad it feels."
Most people with allergies are polysensitized, or allergic to more than one allergen, making treatment complex. No one is certain why some people have allergies and others don't, Dr. Kao says. The common theory is that the predisposition is genetic, though "we don't know what switches it on," he says.
Sick, Sick, Then Sick Again
Mucus is meant to prevent foreign agents from entering the body. But when you have allergies, "your nose is stopped up and your sinuses don't drain—making the mucus a petri dish of germs," says Dr. Kao, who blogs regularly about allergies.
It might seem possible that since the immune system is overreacting to external agents, it would be primed to fight off other infections. But the opposite is true. When an allergic person is confronted by his allergen, his immune system places a priority on the allergens over bad actors like illness-causing bacteria or viruses, allowing them to invade and multiply. "It's really unfair: You feel sick all the time anyway, and then you get hit with colds all season," he says.
Researchers are trying to put the body's allergic reaction to good use. Instead of fighting allergens, immunotherapy scientists are working to get the overreactive function of the immune system to fight cancer cells. "If you could get the allergy arm to work hard to reject the cancer, that would be awesome," Dr. Kao says.
Confronting the Real Enemy
Being extra susceptible to infection makes it all the more important to control allergies, Dr. Kao says. By dampening the overreactive response, the immune system can focus on bacteria and viruses, he says. For people with debilitating allergies, allergy immunotherapy—which is typically a series of shots—may be a great option.
Avoiding the annoying allergen can keep allergic response to a minimum and help ward off other infections. "Stay indoors more if you are allergic to pollen," Dr. Kao says. He also suggests wearing an N95 face mask before mowing the lawn if you're sensitive to grass.
And to prevent back-to-back illnesses, keep your nose clean. Saline solutions, nasal bulbs or Neti pots do the job well, but washing your nose when you wash your body also works just fine, Dr. Kao says. While in the shower, lean forward and rinse out the nose with some warm water and a hefty blow. Then you don't have to worry about mucus buildup carrying bad germs into your body and making you ill.
"Taking a shower is private time. Don't be shy," Dr. Kao says. "Clean your nose. It's dirty."

The fair-faithful from around the state will make their annual pilgrimage to Sacramento on Friday, July 8, through July 24, transforming Cal Expo into a city within a city during the 17-day run of the 163rd California State Fair. Last year, about 580,000 fairgoers showed up, a 4.1 percent increase over 2014's attendance.
There to help host them will be 125 food and drink concessionaires, selling everything from barbecued ribs, corn dogs and grilled fish to fresh fruit, charred corn and loaded baked potatoes. With some funnel cakes, cinnamon rolls and ice cream to round out the menu.
Of course, many attendees will beeline to the fair to hear "Queen of Funk" Chaka Khan and country legend Dwight Yoakam, quaff at the Best of California Brew Fest, cheer their favorites at free-style motocross, or wager on thoroughbred horse racing.
But sooner rather than later, they'll indulge in the once-a-year I'll-diet-tomorrow ritual of "deep-fried" and "on a stick." They will happily stand in long lines at booths along the Promenade, a giant food court of American and ethnic fare, for tasty (and normally forbidden) treats seldom seen outside fairgrounds.

The obliging vendors drive their mobile "restaurants" around the country on the fair circuit – many of them are on the road 10 months a year – spending their off-months at their home bases, shifting into mad-scientist mode to create new dishes to surprise and delight.
"After working with the vendors for five years, I've found they're amazing," said State Fair concessions manger Shauna Parrish. "Their lives revolve around the fair circuit, and they're like a big traveling family helping each other."
This year, attendees can explore the fair-fare menu via the inaugural "$2 Taste of the Fair," available from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays (July 13 and 20) and Thursdays (July 14 and 21). "Every one of our food vendors will offer a $2 taste of an item they feature in their booth," Parrish said.
"The trend is shifting from deep-fried toward 'fun food' that's not necessarily deep-fried," Parrish said. "A lot of vendors are going with vegetarian and gluten-free (items), such as baked potatoes, fruit and veggies, so there will be options for everyone."
As a consumer guide, some of the concessions listed in the official program have heart icons next to their names. "The hearts signify more healthful eating alternatives," Parrish said.
On that note, one of the fair's most popular vendors is Pepe's Mariscos, purveyor of grilled fresh-fish tacos, ceviche, fruit cups (watermelon, cantaloupe and mango) and a frozen treat made with mango and chili powder. The spinoff Pepe's Fruit Cart specializes in combinations of chilled fresh fruits and from-scratch aguas frescas.
Fried and steamed artichokes with toppings are the go-to's at the 40-year-old Jeanne's Artichokes, but don't overlook two of its dishes with more substantial flavor profiles: The veggie panino is a stack of roasted eggplant, zucchini, Roma tomato, red peppers and red onions on sourdough, with melted mozzarella and basil pesto.
Its eggplant-Parmesan sandwich "is getting more popular every year," said operations manager Dan Lusenhop, whose grandmother founded the concession. "It's fried eggplant topped with marinara sauce sprinkled with Parmesan, on a roll."
Returning for its second year will be Drink a Fruit From a Fruit. The method, said vendor Harrison Swift, is to "core a personal-size watermelon or whole pineapple, mix the fruit with ice and pour it back into the fruit shells."
All those dishes sound dietarily correct, in a relative way. Still, there will be a figurative ton of reckless eating by fairgoers and no shortage of calories and fat. "You walk those off," Parrish said with a laugh. "This is your one opportunity to come to the fair and have a guilt-free day. Some people wait all year for their favorite fair foods."
Big Food on center stage
This year's menu won't be as extreme as in past years. Missing will be the sideshow dishes such as Dominick Palmieri's Big Rib, 2 pounds of smoked prime beef attached to a 17-inch-long cow rib bone. Still, there will be no shortage of Big Food, such as the Elvis Burger, the Caveman Turkey Leg and the deep-fried wood-fired pastrami pizza, described as "a Reuben sandwich hit by a steamroller" (at Cardinali's Family Concessions).
You'll find the new Elvis Burger at Stuffy's Char Broiler, manned by owner Don Delahoyde, a 35-year veteran of the circuit. The double handful is a third-pound patty on a ciabatta roll with peanut butter and jelly, bacon, egg, lettuce and tomato. Options are the Krispy Kreme burger, a patty between two glazed doughnuts, and the mac and cheese-stuffed bacon burger, its No. 1 seller.
Delahoyde also runs Sharky's Fry King, specializing in a chili cheese-topped deep-fried bloomin' onion, popcorn shrimp in a cardboard popcorn box, and 10 kinds of french fries (hand-cut from Kennebec potatoes) involving fresh garlic, hot sauces, chili, cheese, sautéed onions, crumbled blue cheese and the like. Oh, and lobster fries. "I drop lobster meat into the fryer to brown it, put it on top of the fries and squirt them with homemade chipotle aioli," he said.
Bacon and beef ribs
Debuting at Amber and Nathan Vanderwarker's porcine-centric Bacon Habit will be bacon-wrapped asparagus. "We coat fresh asparagus with olive oil and pepper, wrap four or five spears in bacon, rub them with brown sugar and a little chili pepper and grill them," Amber Vanderwarker said. "It's got the vegetables, so there's a little bit of healthfulness to it. ..."
"We've become bacon connoisseurs of sorts," she added. "We use four kinds of bacon that vary in thickness and length, depending on what dish we're wrapping and whether it's grilled or fried."
Bacon-wrapped asparagus join the Caveman Turkey Leg – a 2-pound smoked drumstick wrapped in a pound of bacon – bacon-wrapped corn on the cob ("A surprise hit when we introduced it last year") and the Cheesy Bacon Bomb (pepper jack cheese wrapped in biscuit dough wrapped in bacon and deep-fried).
A dish we sampled at the Sacramento County Fair in May is the new Angry Chicken sandwich at Grinders, which will be at the State Fair. The bundle starts with a soft white Italian roll (or whole wheat) heaped with pastrami steeped in proprietary broth, and battered and deep-fried chicken tenderloins (from the breast). Add two slices of Monterey jack, sliced white onion, jalapeño coins, shredded pepperoncini, spicy brown mustard and chipotle-Sriracha mayo.
One State Fair staple is Kasinak BBQ, though you won't find that name on any of its signage. Instead, look for a big red tent, an outdoor cafeteria-style setup, a dining compound with picnic tables, and the words "Ribs," "Tri-tip" and "Turkey Legs." Or simply follow your nose.
New among its spice-rubbed and oak-smoked offerings are pulled pork, chicken and tri-tip sliders, which join an old friend – beef ribs. They're a nice surprise, as they're getting increasingly scarce at BBQ joints and in stores.
"When you do find beef ribs, the meat cutters have cut 'em down so tight there's not much meat on the bones, mostly gristle," said co-owner Joe Mestmaker, with 30 years on the circuit. "Ours are from the Midwest and are real meaty."
At the Mediterranean, 44-year circuit veteran Ted Platis will offer traditional gyros (thinly shaved lamb and beef wrapped in warm pita bread with homemade cucumber-garlic-yogurt sauce), marinated and grilled chicken kebabs, and spanakopita (spinach pie) from a family recipe.
Heftier is the lamb shank, which won a Concessionaire's Cup award at the Orange County Fair. "The foreshank is grill-braised and slow-cooked for four hours in a bath of red wine, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and rosemary," Platis said. "Mom taught me well."
Anne Adair of El Dorado Hills brings her Cloud 9 concession back for a fifth year with beignets (deep-fried French pastry) topped with vanilla ice cream, fruit and Nutella. Her new item is croissant sandwiches stuffed with turkey, ham or salami with fresh greens, tomatoes and pickles.
Corn dog is king
Fair-food trends come and go, but the corn dog is fair-eternal and consistently the State Fair's top seller. For decades, the reigning Corn Dog King has been the aptly named Milo Franks of Pilot Hill, who operates four stands and sponsors the annual cash-rich corn dog-eating contest.
"With $2,500 for first place and $2,000 for second, it's pretty serious," he said. "I've been traveling the circuit for 47 years, so I do (the contest) as kind of payback and to give the State Fair some entertainment."
Last year, Franks announced a "whole new concept" for his corn dog batter. For this year's fair, he said, "Guess what? It changed. I went back into the laboratory and figured out we used too much corn flour and not enough cornmeal. We made the adjustment and now I've got the perfect corn dog batter. We'll use approximately five tons of it at the State Fair."
Pricewise, it looks like the cost of indulging this year will be the same as last year, said concessions manger Parrish.
Which brings up the question: What are her favorites?
"The steamed artichokes are fantastic and I'm a big fan of turkey legs," she said. "But my focus will be to take advantage of the $2 Taste of the Fair program. After that I'll save the Elvis Burger for the last day, and then I'm going to walk it off."

AHA raising prices for tenants' parts and service for home repairs next year
ALTON — Beginning January 1, Alton Housing Authority tenants will pay more for numerous parts and labor for repairs or services at their homes.
"The cost of materials is going up," said AHA Executive Director Greg Denton on Tuesday after the AHA Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the revised price list for sales and service.
Denton said there is no overall percentage increase in the prices, but that he went line by line to determine how much to charge for each replacement part or service.
Following are some of the prices in those 66 lines: battery operated smoke alarm replacement, $16; disabled smoke alarm (missing battery/disconnected battery), $50 (first time), then $75, and $100 after that; thermostat replacement, $60; stove grates or oven handle, $20; toilet tank or bowl, $60 plus one hour labor; lockout, Sundays and holidays, $60; stopped up drains, $50; hole in walls, up to 16 inches wide, $40, and $50 if the hole is up to 30 inches wide, and $60 if it is up to 48 inches wide.
In addition, labor will cost $24 per hour.
Commissioners also unanimously approved four other resolutions, allowing: staff to opt to be paid in lieu of taking up to 10 vacation days this calendar year; five damaged refrigerators to be removed from inventory after employees remove any usable parts; Jessica Fritsch, intake/occupancy specialist, to attend a fair housing and reasonable accommodation seminar from Jan. 17-19 in Charleston, South Carolina; write-off of $19,714,41 in accounts receivable, effective March 31, 2018.
AHA officials and its attorney continue trying to recover the debts, which are from 18 apartments' unpaid rents, repairs and other charges, including nine evictions and two tenant deaths.
Prior to the regular monthly session, commissioners held their annual meeting and re-elected Diana Williams as chairman and Greg Caffey as vice-chairman, which were the only nominees.

Remember, if you don't support the tax hikes, roving gangs of illegal mexicans will rape your children. At least that's the impression I get from our commissioners who need more money to buy overpriced land from their friends and campaign contributors.
Gwinnett County officials today outlined a proposal that would restore some of the spending reductions made earlier this year to the county's public safety, parks and recreation and social services programs. The new proposal would be funded by a 2.28-mill increase in county property taxes.
The proposal was developed by county staff in response to a request from District 4 Commissioner Kevin Kenerly and was unveiled at a press briefing by Board Chairman Charles Bannister, Commissioner Kenerly, County Administrator Glenn Stephens and the county's Chief Financial Officer Aaron Bovos.
Stephens said the county would hold three public hearings on the proposed property tax increase on Monday, November 23, at 10:00am and 6:00pm, and then on December 1 at 7:00pm at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center in Lawrenceville. He said he expected the county commission would formally consider the proposal at a special called meeting following the 7:00pm hearing on December 1.
