Many kids have glowing memories of the wonderful meals and dishes their mothers made for them growing up. Katie Boyts, creator of the The Shoefly Project blog helped me understand why I have wonderful memories of the desserts mom used to make, but not so much the meals.
Don't be fooled though by this introduction: my mom was a fine cook who put three separate meals on the table every day of the week for a family of six and for that alone she deserves a medal of "she got 'er done!" But she did not love cooking—she did it because that was her job, among others, and we needed to eat. She went into a mild panic when Dad would bring in a couple of hired hands at the last minute for dinner, or if Dad or us kids talked her into having company over for Sunday dinner. She was always inclined to worry about whether she would prepare enough, or would people like it, and how will I ever get all my other work done?
But a normal dinner (main meal of the day at noon on the farm) in the 50s and 60s in rural Indiana was just meat (usually home-grown beef or pork served baked/roasted, fried); potatoes (mashed, plain boiled, baked, or fried) or perhaps noodles or macaroni; and a vegetable, boiled. Period. If we had salad, it was iceberg lettuce with homemade salad dressing. In the summer we joyfully added fresh tomatoes, radishes and garden lettuce to our meals. But no spinach, kale, or other yummy greens. No broccoli, cauliflower, squash or other "exotic" vegetables at our house. Usually plain corn, beans, peas. No casseroles other than macaroni and cheese. Later in life we got into lima beans and plain casseroles combining noodles, potatoes and a vegetable with a can of soup on top. We were getting fancy.
For our evening meal in summer we ate one of a variety of fresh fruits with bread and milk or maybe with a cobbler or shortcake: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches. We ate local most of the time and didn't even know that was something to be proud of.
However, (and I'm told by my peers this was common for many a Mennonite mom,) desserts were special. As Katie Boyts pointed out at a Mennonite writers conference recently, if you look at cookbooks or recipe boxes from the era you will see separate chapters of recipes for 1) cakes, 2) pies, 3) cookies/brownies, and then one just called "desserts" (as if all those other chapters weren't really desserts). Even a relatively well-rounded book like the now classic Mennonite Country-Style Recipes (Herald Press, 1987) dedicates roughly 200 of its 500 pages to dessert type items (all categories). That is where the date puddings and hot chocolate pudding and something we called George Washington Pudding (or "cherry delight") and much more were found. This is where the fancy came out. I recall learning how to whip real cream for mom to plop at the last minute onto the already decadently rich date pudding when company came, so it would be poufy and fresh. Or helping her dish up hot chocolate pudding for a church committee meeting at the house– a warm Bisquick-y base with melted chocolate syrup oozing over everything like what you would find at Applebees with ice cream on top. I have never made date or hot chocolate pudding for my family. They would think both are too rich.
But when your meal was rather plain and you did hard physical work on the farm, you could indulge in dessert. Every week she would make either a cake or homemade pies for the basic dessert for the week and then if we ran out, we'd have home canned peaches, pears, apricots or cherries for dessert with a cookie or two. Those desserts bring back fond memories too because I have never gotten around to canning fruits. If Mom goes to a potluck, even at age 87, she doesn't feel right just bringing a store bought pie or deli potato salad (or heaven forbid a bag of chips): she has to make her usual pecan pie.
It is interesting how food customs and favorites change even within the same culture—let alone add in the delightful multi-cultural mix of food that we enjoy in North America these days.
I'm grateful for all I learned from my mother in the kitchen even though she always felt she failed in teaching us four children to cook very much. These days, even my brother and one sister who was always out helping Dad on the farm, manage to get a meal on the table and enjoy it too.
No use to harken back to "good old days"—just enjoy and appreciate the foods you are blessed to have access to in 2012 and the plethora of recipes and cooking shows and websites to show you endless ways to prepare them.
Melodie M. Davis is the author of nine books, most recently Whatever Happened to Dinner? (Herald Press, 2010) available online here.

Laser Toy.
I was looking for a fun project to work on over the xmas break. I thought about building a new robot with my 5yo but the parts got delayed and aren't going to show up till the following week when I'm back at work. So I managed to scrounge some parts together and put together a new project.
With a couple of servos, a raspberry pi and a Alexa I got for xmas I thought it would be fun to make a laser toy for the cat and dog that could be turned on by a voice command. This also makes it easy for the kids to interact with it via the Amazon Echo.
I started wiring the servos together and trying to get them to move from the Raspberry Pi. I found that ServoBlaster allowed multiple servos to be controlled by the GPIO pins on the Pi. To install it on the Pi you just use git to checkout the repo from GitHub and execute the servod program.
sudo ./PiBits/ServoBlaster/user/servod
It should output something like this below:
Board model: 1
GPIO configuration: P1 (26 pins), P5 (8 pins)
Using hardware: PWM
Using DMA channel: 14
Idle timeout: Disabled
Number of servos: 8
Servo cycle time: 20000us
Pulse increment step size: 10us
Minimum width value: 50 (500us)
Maximum width value: 250 (2500us)
Output levels: Normal
The really important part is the servo mapping which shows which GPIO pin is mapped to which servo.
Servo mapping:
0 on P1-7 GPIO-4
1 on P1-11 GPIO-17
2 on P1-12 GPIO-18
3 on P1-13 GPIO-27
4 on P1-15 GPIO-22
5 on P1-16 GPIO-23
6 on P1-18 GPIO-24
7 on P1-22 GPIO-25
The Pin number is important, you should wire up one servo to GPIO-4 and another to a different like GPIO-17. When you go to execute the commands to turn the servo you can do it by using echo like this.
$ echo 0=50% > /dev/servoblaster
$ echo 1=50% > /dev/servoblaster
The next step is wiring up the battery pack and the motors into the breadboard. I usually just use bread boards for my projects when prototyping. Once you get everything working, you can solder it up to a board.
If you have never controlled a servo with a Raspberry Pi then try this tutorial first. I actually have the same parts as the guide except my other servo is much smaller.
Here is a wiring schematic that shows what wires go where. It's very similar and even if you didn't have two servos you could probably just use 1 servo to move in one direction.
I built a crude stand out of some metal parts I got in the hobby bin at Lowes. You can use whatever you want.
The last part is I built a Node API server called lastertoy. You can install the service on your pi by doing a git checkout of the repo.
$ git clone https://github.com/willywos/lastertoy
$ cd lastertoy
$ npm install
$ npm start
> email@example.com start /home/pi/lastertoy
> node lib/server.js
▄ ▄
▌▒█ ▄▀▒▌
▌▒▒█ ▄▀▒▒▒▐ much api
▐▒▒▐▀▐▀▒░▄▄▒▄▒▒▒▒▒▒░▒░▒░▒▒▒▒▌ wow
Running on port 5150.
Once the service is running. You can hook up Amazon Echo to control it by running creating a new skill. You don't have to worry about publishing it, you can leave it in test mode.
If you want to see the code I used, you can view it on GitHub
I won't go through the whole process of setting up Echo to integrate but basically it runs a lambda function which makes a http request to the node service running on the raspberry pi. Then the node service tells the servo to move. There is a step by step tutorial on Amazon that I used to follow.
Here is a video of what it looks like. https://twitter.com/willywos/status/815943075243687936

Reprinted with permission from VOM
Giving, from your heart and soul, is an important value to give to your children. The most obvious way to give this to them, is to be a giver yourself -- and have them involved with you! The following may be of interest to you, to help out the persecuted ---
The following article is from the January 2002 Special Edition Newsletter of The Voice of the Martyrs (Canada). Used by permission. For more information, see www.persecution.net. In America? Go to www.persecution.com.
In more than 40 nations around the world, hundreds of thousands of Christians are being persecuted for their faith. For over 30 years, The Voice of the Martyrs has been active in raising a voice on their behalf and standing side by side with them in their affliction.
While we may not always be able to stop persecution, we are able to let our brothers and sisters know that they are not forgotten. You can have an active part in this vital ministry in any one or more of these 10 significant ways:
1. Become a Financial Partner
While we tend to downplay our financial needs, your gifts are vitally important to the ministry of The Voice of the Martyrs. The sacrificial partnership of an increasing number of Canadian Christians has enabled us to significantly increase our practical service to the Persecuted Church over the last number of years. To assist you in assuring that your gifts are used effectively, The Voice of the Martyrs has set up six special funds to which Canadian churches and individuals can especially designate their gifts in helping to fund specific kinds of ministry to persecuted Christians around the world that are in line with our purposes as a mission.
a. Underground Church Fund
The Underground Church Fund helps provide assistance and encouragement to believers in severely restricted areas, such as much of the Muslim world and North Korea. Areas of activity are: Establish job training centres for Muslim converts, Bible smuggling and printing, scripture balloons, radio ministries and special ministries geared towards Muslim converts.
b. Families of Martyrs Fund
Fund supplies the means by which VOM can provide encouragement and assistance to families left destitute by the imprisonment, death or exile of a father and/of mother because of their faith.
c. Relief & Development Fund
Projects financed through The Relief & Development Fund assist Persecuted Christians in restricted countries like Egypt and Sudan, providing relief aid to desperately poor families, job training, refugee assistance and other practical means of meaningful encouragement to a besieged church before, during and after persecution.
d. Equipping the Saints Fund
The Equipping the Saints Fund helps meet the educational needs facing today's Persecuted Church and believers in countries facing potential persecution. In response to requests from persecuted believers around the world, we seek to send qualified teachers to help equip the Persecuted Church through intensive training seminars held "in country", helping to equip leaders and teachers to teach and train their own people. By also supplying Bibles, books, and other Christian literature, we effectively partner with Christian leaders in "equipping the saints".
e. Raising a Voice Fund
Gifts to the Raising a Voice Fund are especially designated to assisting The Voice of the Martyrs with the expensive, but crucial, task of communicating the needs of today's Persecuted Church to Canada and the free world through the use of modern electronic media such as the Internet, video and television.
f. Operation Christmas Blessing
Operation Christmas Blessing is a fund designated to helping needy Christian children and their family in restricted countries in an annual special project every Christmas.
2. Invite a VOM Speaker
Raise a voice for the Persecuted Church by inviting a representative from The Voice of the Martyrs to come to speak at your church, missions conference, school, Bible College, or other event, to share the faith and courage of today's Persecuted Church. Contact Glenn Penner at our office for more information.
3. Join a Persecution Prayer Group
When we ask persecuted Christians what they would need from their fellow believers in Canada, the answer is always the same - "Pray for us." Join a prayer group in your area that is regularly praying for the Persecuted Church or start one of your own. Contact Nellie Brobbel at our office for more information. The Voice of the Martyrs has numerous resources on how to pray for our suffering church around the world.
4. Make a New Friend
Invite your friends or relatives to receive The Voice of the Martyrs newsletter, Canada's only monthly magazine entirely devoted to the issues surrounding the persecution of Christians around the world. Send up their name and we will send them a complimentary subscription to our monthly newsletter and a free copy of Richard Wurmbrand's Tortured for Christ.
5. Get Connected Online
A key component to VOM's ministry of raising a voice for the persecuted has been the development of our Internet presence through our interactive web site (www.persecution.net) and our free weekly email news and prayer service The Persecution and Prayer Alert that is being sent to thousands of subscribers around the world. Recognized as one of the world's leading web sites on Christian persecution, www.persecution.net provides up-to-date news and resources that you will not find anywhere else.
6. Write a Letter on Behalf of the Persecuted
Contact Karen at our office to receive a free copy of the updated Prisoner's List that provides numerous addresses of Christian prisoners, government leaders, and embassies to which you can write.
7. Collect Air miles
Established in January 2001, over 120 Canadians are now collecting Air miles for VOM, allowing us to save thousands of dollars in air travel and car rentals. This money can then be channeled directly ro purchasing Bibles, Christian literature, or other ministry expenses. And it doesn't cost you anything! To find out how you can get involved in this exciting program, contact Martha Kenney at our office for more information.
8. Short Term Mission
Get involved "first hand" by joining a team that will serve in a restricted area nation of one that has recently emerged from persecution. Primary qualifications include a heart willing to be used by God. Contact Martha Kenney at our office for more information.
9. Collect Stamps for Christian Literature
Dozens of Canadian Christians are collecting stamps and sending them to The Voice of the Martyrs. We, in turn, sell them to collectors and use the proceeds to purchase Christian literature for Christians in restricted nations.
However, many of the stamps we receive are discarded because they are either common or damaged. Before you send any, please contact Nellie Brobbel at our office for more information on the kinds of stamps we are looking for.
10. Invest in the Kingdom with Link Canada
By taking advantage of the many attractive financial services offered by Link Charity Canada, you can help the work of The Voice of the Martyrs, as well as fulfilling your obligations of being a good steward of the financial resources that God has entrusted to you.
Link Charity Canada is empowered to issue charitable gift annuities, facilitate gifts of appreciated securities, hold insurance policies, manage endowments, and distribute benefits of RRSP and RRIF contracts on behalf of The Voice of the Martyrs. Contact Martha Kenney at our office for more details.

If you could combine all your favorite holiday flavors into one bite, I like to think this is EXACTLY what you would want! Sweet potatoes, bacon, and turkey in combination with the sage and thyme tastes just like a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Add in the cranberry sauce (with a kick!), and you've got yourself quite the perfect holiday meatball. These would be a great holiday party food in bite size form!
What you'll need:
1 lb ground turkey
2 cups sweet potatoes, baked and mashed
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 slices bacon, cooked
1/2 cup almond flour
1 tsp sea salt
1 whole egg
1 tsp rubbed sage
1/2 tsp ground thyme
1/2 tsp black pepper
Sriracha Cranberry Sauce
1 cup cranberries
1/4 cup raw honey
1/3 cup warm water
1/4 apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sriracha (or more!)
1/2 tsp sea salt
Preheat your oven to 400F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Begin by baking your sweet potatoes. If you have time you can put your sweet potatoes in the oven to bake. I never have time. I LOVE to cook my sweet potatoes in the microwave. They always turn out so well! Just poke the sweet potatoes with a fork all over. Place them on a microwave safe dish, and cook on high for 5 minutes. Check the sweet potatoes for doneness by sticking them with a fork to see if they are tender. If the potatoes need more time, put them back in the microwave for 2 minute increments checking on them until done. Allow to cool then remove the skins, and mash the sweet potatoes with the back of a fork.
Cook bacon slices until just cooked. Make sure not to over cook them as they will be baked in the oven as well. Once cooked, diced the bacon into very small pieces.
Meanwhile mix together the ground turkey, egg, almond flour, onion, garlic, sage, thyme, salt, & pepper. Once potatoes have cooled enough, mix in your mashed sweet potatoes and bacon pieces.
Roll meatballs into 2-3 inch balls. Place them on your lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake meatballs for 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
While meatballs are baking, begin to make your sriracha cranberry sauce. Place warm water, honey, apple cider vinegar, sriracha, and salt in a saucepan. Stir until honey has dissolved into the water. Place your cranberries into the saucepan, and bring mixture to a slow boil on high heat. Once boiling, cover saucepan with a lid, and place heat on low. Cook for 10 minutes allowing cranberries to pop and become tender. Serve sauce warm with the turkey meatballs.

Many clients find me from har.com or from my website when they are still in the other cities and other countries...I am so thankful of their trusting and support!
Client Experience Rating from Overseas Client:
--------I'm overseas,never met Jing, communicating by email. She is a great communicator and notifies you of all the developments almost in real time. She is the definition of a hard worker; never lets anything slide, no matter how busy she may be. She is meticulous about the details and never lets you miss any. Above all, she is worthy of all the trust you can put in her. If you need your agent to care about your interests as much as you, I don't believe there's anyone better than Jing Harlan.
-------- I'm overseas, needed to sell the property, but it needed to be renovated first. Emailed Jing, whom I'd never met. Soon as she heard what I needed, she had the ball, was running. She got me bids, helped me nail down the details, prepare the specifications, inspected the work with an excellent result. Through the sale process, she was perfect, right on top of everything. It's her work ethic, dedication, loyalty, energy that makes her great. It's been an honor to work with her. I will miss her.

** Houston's Population Soars, Census Shows
While New York and Los Angeles continue to hold on to their top spots for overall largest cities in the U.S., a much tighter race occurred for the No. 3 spot, which Chicago usually comfortably enjoys. Houston's rapid population growth in the past decade nearly sent it over reigning No. 3 city Chicago, according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau figures.
Houston's population grew 7.4 percent in the past decade, while Chicago's population growth has dropped 7 percent. The Windy City, however, still was able to remain above Houston for population size, 2.7 million to 2.09 million respectively.
"If Chicago doesn't change direction, it's obvious Houston could overtake Chicago and become bigger sometime in the next decade," says Steve Murdock, a previous director of the U.S Census Bureau.
So why is Houston experiencing such a rapid population growth? Experts attribute Houston's growth to its low unemployment rate (8.1 percent compared to the 9 percent national average), the oil industry, low cost of living, and an influx of immigrants.
Plus, "the main advantage is Houston is the least expensive major city to live in," says Stephen Klineberg, Rice University sociology professor.
Meanwhile, Chicago continues to lose residents. Some major factors: Eighteen percent of the city's black residents left in the past decade, its rate of growth among the Hispanic population has slowed, and some residents have been forced to relocate due to the city's demolition of housing projects.
"We knew it would be very, very difficult to overtake Chicago in this census take," says Jeff Moseley, president and CEO of the Greater Houston Partnership. "Those of us who follow the numbers know it's just a matter of time."

Microneedling's earliest concept actually goes back to China and then on to France, where they used the needles for acupuncture and the meridians of the body to enhance the overall general health of the patient. From there the concept of trying to get through the skin evolved in the early 1900's in Germany where practitioners used a rotating wheel to resurface the skin. The concept of using a needle in the US began about 1995 by two brothers, two dermatologists, in Philly. They were using a bevel needle to release scars and wrinkles.
Which brings us to the modern era in needling....the ability to technologically make needles go through the epidermis and prompt the skin's ability to respond with the whole cascade of wound healing, all phases of normal healing and therefore, making the skin better. In about 2000, a German named Hors Libel trademarked what is now referred to as the "dermaroller", where a wheel barrel roller of needles is rolled over the skin. In 2004 it was shown that this technique made the epidermis and dermis thicker and, thus, there was rejuvenation. This rolling technique has been the method used since that time.
In October, 2011, a company in Australia brought to the US distribution rights to the Dermapen, which is not the older technique of the roller but rather a pen device that has an up and down or stamping method, or vertical intrusion into the skin (as opposed to rolling over the skin) which causes less trauma. You can vary the depth of the needle and you have disposable needles, which eliminates danger of contamination. Because we are then making micro openings in the skin, we also get a trans-dermal delivery system to help with the delivery of products into the skin.
I am very excited to now offer the Dermapen technique to my clients. With the pen, I can stamp the skin with tiny microneedles that, in turn, trigger the body to naturally stimulate collagen and elastin. There is little or no downtime and dramatic changes can be seen over a few months' time. We can get fabulous results with acne scarring, keloids, stretch marks, lip lines and just overall firming and toning. An added benefit, since there is no heat with the Dermapen, you don't run the risk of hyperpigmentation, which can result from many lasers. (Source: "Microneedling Review" by Dr. Gordon Sasaki)

2020 Toyota Tundra Rumors
After some amount of time, the Japanese maker has actually chosen to offer some intriguing upgrades to its widely known pickup. We are discussing the 2020 Toyota Tundra. This model has actually remained in a market for years. Ever since it has actually gone through simply some moderate drinks in 2014. For that reason, now is the best minute for a total redesign. This full-size truck will definitively bring huge enhancements in every element of the car. Firstly, it is expected to utilize the brand-new D-4S double fuel injection innovation with its powertrain. Additionally, revamped interior, revitalized exterior style, and other little enhancements will definitively return its appeal amongst numerous pickup enthusiasts. It will be offered in a number of trim levels. Those are SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition and TRD Pro. Also, the brand-new Tundra will be provided in Regular Cab, Double Cab, and CrewMax Cab. Its primary competitors in the marketplace will be Ford F-150, GMS Sierra, and Chevrolet Silverado.
This text is based exclusively on rumors and nothing more. For official information, please follow us
2020 Toyota Tundra Engine and Specs
The 2020 Toyota Tundra will be readily available with 2 engine choices as the present model. Those are V-8 engines. The very first choice is a 4.6-liter V-8 engine with the output of 310 horses and 327 pound-feet of torque.
The 2nd is a 5.7-liter V-8 engine. This one has the ability to produce 381 horse power and 401 pound-feet of torque. It will have the ability to reach 60 miles per hour in around 6.4 seconds.
Both engines will get D4-S direct fuel injection system which will enhance its power, fuel economy and emissions. They will be combined to either an eight-speed or a ten-speed automated transmission.
Moreover, some sources state that it may get a 5.0-liter V-8 engine utilized in Lexus designs.
This system will have the ability to make 394 horses and 383 pound-feet of torque. The optimum hauling capability of the brand-new Toyota will be 10,400 pounds.
Exterior and Interior
When it concerns exterior, the 2020 Toyota Tundra is going to be slightly revitalized. So, we anticipate modified grille with chrome information and larger insignia in the center too.
Additionally, the bumper will get bolder style and will be positioned a bit lower.
The trendy headlamps will get LED daytime running lights. The Tundra trips on 18-inch wheels. Nevertheless, this time we might see bigger wheels too.
It is premature to discuss the interior decoration of the 2020 Toyota Tundra Nevertheless, the cabin will get some drinks and novelties without any doubt.
Based upon the most recent reports, we can state that we will most likely see some brand-new products and most current innovation. The control panel will be revamped for sure and will include brand-new touchscreen show. The cabin will be comfy as constantly and will supply adequate space for all the guests.
Release and Price of 2020 Toyota Tundra
It is still not exact when 2020 Toyota Tundra is going to be exposed to the world. Maybe it might be at some point throughout 2019.
When it concerns the price, the existing model begins at around $33,000. Depending upon a trim and powertrain it increases to $55,000. So the 2020 model will definitively cost somewhat more.

There can be no better introduction to the wild wild West than the classic 1962 MGM Cinerama presentation of How The West Was Won,which has been digitally re-mastered for DVD. The story of how the march of man and machine conquered the vast wilderness of the American continent has been told countless times in countless forms,but seldom has it achieved the sweep and solidity of How The West Was Won,which uses the devices of fiction and the spirit of documentary to track the fortunes of the intrepid Prescott family.
The magic of the three-camera panoramic set-up (Cinerama),in which what is up close is as sharply in focus as that which is three miles behind,is lost on a TV screen,but you can still enjoy the unusual depth the breathtaking scenes possess scenes that take in angry rapids,thundering horses,lawmen and bandits,all of the things familiar to us from so many westerns. And it appears as if almost every big Hollywood star of the time is in it. Gregory Peck,James Stewart,Eli Wallach,John Wayne,Robert Preston,Henry Fonda all appear in different segments as the story courses through from 1839 to 89.
Move on to one of the best westerns ever made. A superb commentary accompanying Once Upon A Time In The West calls it an Italian Western,eschewing the more derogatory term Spaghetti. Nothing that director Sergio Leone did had anything as homely as spaghetti about it: the film is operatic,out of real time,ultra-dramatic. It has one of the most astonishing prologues the bad guys,all in long dusters,hats,and scowls,arrive at a tiny station,waiting for someone. Leone stretches everything out. All you hear is a concert of natural sounds,amplified manifold the annoying buzz of a fly,the creak of a saloon door and,finally,when you can bear it no more,the shriek of a train engine. It stops,the bad guys range on one side,the man they have been waiting for looms on the other side,guns bark,and time stops.
Watch Henry Fonda,him of the blue,blue eyes,playing completely against type as the cold killer,and Charles Bronson,playing that haunting tune on the harmonica,fading in and out of action. Ramesh Sippy stole the harmonica for Sholay (Amitabh Bachchan is accessorised with it),and some other key scenes: watch and compare.
Quick Gun Murugan,Shashank Ghoshs spoof on all things western with a Southern touch,is about a cowboy out to protect the dosa from a fate worse than death. Can there be anything worse than a non-veg dosa? If you shudder at the very prospect,Quick Guns antics may amuse you mildly. QMG began life as a rollicking Channel V spot; his feature-film avatar is fun only sporadically. Look out for the nicer parts the slo mo bullets and Mango Dollys golden wigs and wiggles.

Time and money are precious commodities and most of us don't have enough of either. Thanks to the arrival of consumer technologies like Uber, Airbnb and Rover, we can have a bit more of both with a tap on our smartphone.
And people are responding in droves. There are more than 7,000 Airbnb listings for homes to share in Toronto and Uber provides more than a million rides per month in Ontario.
Small wonder. Budgets are tight. The Bank of Montreal Rainy Day survey said less than half of Ontarians have $10,000 in savings and a quarter of us are living paycheque to paycheque.
Sharing economy is a way to connect consumers to sellers for the purpose of buying or borrowing a product or service. It allows people to make money from assets they already own, like their car (Uber), home (Airbnb) or driveway (Rover).
Utilizing the sharing economy to earn a few extra dollars could be a minor miracle for some families, or at the very least provide a little breathing room on family finances. In Chicago, for example, a homeowner who shares their home through Airbnb adds an average of $8,300 to their annual income, and most are using it to pay off debt.
Recently I met with Esther the Uber Queen. At least that's what people who have been in her car through Uber call her.
Esther joined me recently at Queen's Park to talk about being an Uber driver and how the sharing economy has given her control over her income and her time. Esther uses her income from Uber to pay post-secondary tuition costs for her daughter. With Uber, Esther sets her own hours and works as much, or as little, as she needs.
Esther also likes people. A lot. She loves to talk and cares very much about her customer service. The end result is that she made the ride fun.
But today, the opportunity to put more money in your pocket through the sharing economy is caught in a legislative grey area. Is it legal? How often and when? How do we treat existing businesses like taxis and hotels fairly? Cities have become paralyzed by the debate.
The technology is here and consumers are responding. We can't put off this conversation any longer. I got good advice from consumers, industry, mayors, civil servants, folks in the taxi and hotel industries and MPPs. And I met with the four Ontario cabinet ministers affected. I did my homework, looked at what has worked elsewhere and came up with a plan: Opportunity in the Sharing Economy Act.
On Thursday it will be debated in the Ontario Legislature.
Uncertainty helps no one, certainly not consumers, investors, drivers, hosts or the existing industry.
It's time to legalize these services and empower people to earn from assets under a framework of clear rules around consumer protection and safety. My Bill does that. For example, Uber drivers would become licensed, provide for proper insurance coverage and undergo a criminal and driving record check.
We also need to be fair to existing businesses. There has been a lot of red tape created over the years. Let's empty the box and let them compete.
I recently learned the taxi industry has been regulated since the Hackney Carriage Act of Great Britain which was introduced in 1635. I assume that in the intervening 380 years that act has evolved. It's time to evolve again.
It's time to welcome innovators to Ontario and to encourage emerging sectors in this province.
Without a sharing economy framework in place businesses like Rover, the parking spot sharing app, grown right here in Toronto, would close its doors and take its jobs and investment elsewhere.
If Ontario is going to truly lead, then let's lead. Starting today.

Updated February 18, 2019 One of the most popular resources for transforming an Android smartphone into a modem for your laptop, a process known as tethering, is PdaNet+. PdaNet+ supports connections using Wi-Fi, a USB cable connection, and Bluetooth dial-up networking. The PdaNet+ app is available for Android, Windows computers, and Macs. The full version of the PdaNet+ app is a paid app, but a free trial version is available, which can continue to work after the trial period with some limitations and nagging. How to Use PdaNet+ Step-by-step instructions for Android tethering are available. Here are basic instructions for using PdaNet+ on all compatible platforms. Download the software to your laptop or desktop computer This step is only necessary for iPhones using USB tethering on the iPhone, not for the Wi-Fi tethering. The software works on Windows PCs, Macs, Android, and Windows Mobile devices. Depending on the mobile operating system, during the installation of PdaNet+ on your computer, the software also installs on your connected phone, or you have to download the app for the phone from the mobile app market. iPhone users have to jailbreak their phones first because PdaNet+ is not allowed in the App Store by Apple. They install PdaNet+ using Cydia. When PdaNet+ is installed, you click on the app on your computer and/or smartphone and then you use your phone's data plan for internet access on your laptop. A data plan for your smartphone is required. There are other iPhone tethering apps and Android tethering apps available, but PdaNet+ is one of the most popular and oldest tethering apps. It's also easy to use and purported to be the fastest (at least for Android). As with any app that is not officially supported by the carriers and may require you to hack your phone or get root access, you need to take care in what you are doing and check your wireless contract for any issues your wireless provider may have with tethering or using your phone as a modem.

RAK ambulance service responds to 200 incidents in first half of 2017
The incidents included cases of drownings, car accidents and someone's hand becoming stuck under a machine
Almost 200 rescue operations were carried out by Ras Al Khaimah Ambulance and Rescue Section during the first seven months of this year.
Some 153 of the 187 operations were handled by the marine rescue team and included the rescue of four drowning victims and providing support to 12 damaged boats and jet skis at sea.
The ambulance and rescue department also tended to people injured in car accidents by cutting and dismantling vehicle parts using Hydraulic equipment. In a separate incident, rescue teams saved a person's hand after became stuck in a machine.
Maj Tariq Al Sharhan, head of the department at RAK police, on Sunday offered the public advice to avoid such incidents.
He urged parents not to leave their children in cars and to ensure no one was left behind when closing the car to avoid suffocation.
Maj Al Sharhan also called on beach-goers to use the designated swimming areas and not to leave children unattended near pools and the beach.
"Four Asian children aged between 5 to 8 were rescued from drowning this year after they were dragged into the sea due to high waves," he said.

In the past, I've written about what type of person comes to mind when I hear the word "leadership". And the person that I immediately envision is a chef. In the final instalment in my series of posts about the foundations all businesses should be putting in place to set them up for success, I'm sharing my thoughts on leadership. And this image of the chef came into my mind once again.
Chefs have a style of cooking, a way of interacting with the staff in the kitchen and with their patrons. This can be seen as their unique signature. For business leaders, developing your personal mantra is much the same. What do I mean by this? Well, when I talk about your leadership mantra, I'm talking about your unique recipe for successful leadership or your personal leadership style. This comes down to identifying what is important for you as an individual and as the head of a team.
For me personally, I choose to see challenges as something positive. Something that pulls teams together and forces us to come up with innovative ideas to overcome whatever hurdle has been put in front of us. Setbacks make you better at what you do. As part of this, I needed to identify my own strengths and weaknesses and then surround myself with people who bolster strengths and help me out in areas where I tend to fall short.
When trying to identify these people, I believe that it is critical to choose talent and culture fit over experience. When recruiting people into your team, ask them competency-based questions to gauge how they respond to specific situations and highlight their decision-making skills. A chef is only going to know if someone can cook food when they're actually in the kitchen.
Another big part of my personal approach to leadership is creating future leaders. I don't think that a successful leader has to be in charge of the largest number of people. A successful leader should work to help his or her team develop themselves and be better at what they do, with the hope that they'll someday become leaders too.
When trying to develop your own leadership mantra, you need to ask yourself the following
- What am I good at?
- What am I not so good at?
- What do I stand for?
- What inspires me?
- How do I live my life?
- How do I want to live my life?
- What is my purpose? As an individual and as a business leader?
In answering these questions, you'll have a better idea about what type of leader you want to be, how you want to interact with those around you and what kind of environment you'd like to create. Often, people who are put in leadership positions don't take it very seriously. But being a leader is a lot like being handed a loaded gun. You need to be responsible with what you have been given to ensure that you don't have a negative impact on those around you.

If left untreated, termites can cause immense damage to your home. These wood-boring pests thrive deep within your home and foundation, slowly eating away at its core, unnoticed. Ongoing prevention is your best bet when it comes to termites because most homeowner insurance plans wont cover termite damage.
There are three main groups of termites that can affect your home: subterranean, drywood, and dampwood termites.
Named after their preference to build their nests underground, subterranean termites often enter the home from areas where wood comes in contact with the ground, by squeezing through cracks as small as a business card or by using the mud tubes they construct to travel from their below ground colonies to infest wood in your home.
Subterranean Treatment options:
Drywood termites dont need a connection to the ground in order to thrive. They are known to travel up to a mile to find a home, and will establish a colony wherever they can find a preferred source of wood. Drywood termites need less moisture than either subterranean or dampwood termites to survive, and can often be found in attics where they infest structural wood. Other items they may infest include dead or dying trees and shrubs, utility poles, fences and furniture.
Drywood Treatment options:
Much larger than their subterranean counterparts, dampwood termite soldiers sport very large pincers on their head that are used to fight off predators. As their name suggests, they prefer to build colonies in damp or decaying wood with a high moisture content and moist wood in contact with the ground such as logs and stumps. Dampwood termites typically do not construct their nests in soil and do not construct mud tubes. These termites eat the wood with the grain if their wood source is sound, but consume wood across the grain if their wood source is decayed. In general, dampwood termites are not as destructive as subterranean and drywood termites.
Dampwood Treatment options:
Monitoring stations are installed at key points around your property to determine the extent of termite activity. Once confirmed, bait stations are set up to attract termites. Bait stations house chemical materials that termites ingest and carry back to the colony, spreading them to their counterparts and addressing colonies at the source. This control method is often best when dealing with larger populations.
Read more about baits.
This method is primarily used to control drywood termites as the treatment can reach termites living deep within a home. Fumigants permeate throughout the home and disrupt a termites metabolism once inhaled.
Read more about fumigation.
Heat treatments use a special, large-capacity heat blower to raise the temperature of specific areas of a home or property to between 120 140 degrees Fahrenheit to kill off any termites living within the wood structures. This treatment must be recommended and administered by a trained pest control specialist.
Read more about heat treatments.
Termite infestations often need some form of termiticide usage in order to help remove current populations and prevent future infestations. Usually this involves an application to the surface of compromised wood or into soil around the home, but it can also be injected directly into wood to more closely target termite populations.
Read more about termiticides.
For termites, moisture is critical for survival. Making sure to fix plumbing leak problems in a timely manner and ensure proper drainage around your home, all of which can go a long way in helping to avoid a termite infestation. Wood that is touching the ground is always at risk, so always remove wood that is in direct contact with the ground and use pre-treated wood to protect your home from wood decay and wood rot as much as possible.

I miss you. I miss calling you on the phone to have a chat and yet I hear your voice in my ears all the time. I miss your big, warm embrace and yet I wrap myself up in the warmth of your beautiful crocheted blankets and I feel your love. I miss swapping stories about parenting and hearing you laugh as I tell you about all the funny things my boys are up to, knowing that it's bringing you back so many good memories of when your own kids were so young. I miss sharing with you the projects I am working on and hearing your joy and pride that I pursued the craft that you taught me so many years ago. Most of all, I miss the wholeness of our family, the days when we were all together and we felt like it would go on forever. Losing you and Nick last year has, in some ways, made it seem like our family has unraveled. And I suppose, in some ways it has…but in so many ways we have been brought closer together, made stronger by our grief. We know that our lives are precious and that our time together is fleeting in the big picture of life…it's not to be taken for granted.
I want you to know that so many people have been touched by your gracious, loving heart. Creating You Are Loved was a way for me to process my sadness and turn it into something that healed me and brought me joy. With every heart I have crocheted and sent out into the world (and by now it's been hundreds) your love has been imprinted on each stitch. The happiness and gratitude that has been returned to me keeps me connected to you and gives me the motivation to keep making more hearts.
I think this is one project you would be most proud of. Thank you for being the guiding force that shepherds it forward and for keeping me doing what I love.
But…I still miss you. We all do.

I know you've been asking – where is Pamela? How is the garden? Where are new recipes? Well.. Matthew and I were on vacation for the last week. We were living it up with Mickey and his crew at Disney World. Sounds fun, right? Well it was. Except back in NYC we had a Earthquake and Hurricane, both that we weren't expecting when we left. We got home tonight and looked at the garden, GAH. I will make another post about that, after I'm done crying.

The stages of grief
January 18, 2008 at 9:29 pm 6 comments
I've heard people talk about the five stages of grief in terms of dealing with a serious diagnosis for a child. You grieve for what they might have been, the loss of normalcy, the things you thought you could take for granted. I, for one, feel like I have gone through the stages of grief in varying degrees multiple times with each new issue that arises. I change from stage to stage in any given year, month, day, and even minute. From day C was born (and subsequently nearly died), we've been dealing with one thing after another. That's not to say there haven't been good days; happily, there have been many, many of those. But as each new issue started, I kept thinking "This will be it. This will be the last thing to happen." I no longer say that to myself.
Here's the list: respiratory distress syndrome, pneumothorax, pulmonary interstitial emphysema, pulmonary hypertension, hypotension, sepsis, apnea, bradycardia, oligihydramnios, prematurity, tracheomylacia, global developmental delays, oral motor dysfunction, failure to thrive, hypotonia, sensory integration dysfunction, reflux, reactive airway disease, asthma, left-side weakness, ankle pronation, atypical tongue grooving, toxic synovitis, ataxia, verbal apraxia, oral apraxia, plagiocephaly, food allergies, unspecified autoimmune disease, impaired methylation abilities, yeast problems, absent glutathione production, high functioning autism, developmental coordination disorder, hyperlexia.

Sigh. It's really something to see it all together.
that's hard to read, on many levels.
Hi, I found your blog searching out stages of grief with child diagnosis. I wanted to let you know that I found it helpful, in expressing things I hadn't figured out yet. Acceptance is sure hard, getting to the point where you can actually not panic while knowing "this probably won't be the last issue" as something new crops up. The stress can eat away our own mental and physical health. So I hope I can get to the calmer acceptance stage soon. My son was Dx with tuberous sclerosis back in March. 10 years of having a "normal" kid sure made it hard to believe he could have something significantly wrong. You hate to wish to be one of the "lucky ones" because that seems to be hoping other people will take the harder burdens. And yet, we are thankful for each test that puts him on the "mild" end of the spectrum.
I hope you keep writing, and inspiring others!
Wow.Thank you. I just sent you an email, so please check there for my response! Bless you!

About the Book About the Author
Marcus, a.k.a "w1n5t0n," is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works–and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school's intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems.
But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they're mercilessly interrogated for days.
When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself.
