Turkish Delights
Turkish delight reminds me of trash and treasure markets with older people selling their homemade wares. I can never resist buying fresh Turkish Delight, filled with rose scents and lemon tang.
I've made this recipe twice now, and it was such a treat. It makes so much, it can last for months. I must admit, it's not too healthy. I certainly get a sugar rush from the delicious little delights. But, it is vegan. Delightful and Karma free.
4 Cups of Raw Caster Sugar
4 Cups of Water
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
1 Cup Cornflour
1 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
3 Tablespoons of Rosewater
red food colouring
1/2 cup of chopped & toasted almonds (optional- just as sexy without)
In a pan over medium heat, combine the sugar, 1 and a half cups of water and juice, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Don't let it boil, but simmer it uncovered until it's 116*C. Try not to stir it during this time. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the mixture by placing a spoonful in a glass of cold water. If it sticks together instead of separating, you're on the right track. Now, remove it from the heat.
Whilst that is cooking away, in a separate pan, blend the cream of tartar and cornflour into a smooth paste with some of the remaining water. Gradually add the rest of the water, whisking it in so there are no lumps. Whisk it constantly over medium heat until the mixture boils and thickens.
Slowly and carefully, pour the sugar mixture into the cornflour mixture, whilst continually whisking. Simmer this, uncovered for 1 hour, or until it becomes translucent. It will be a dark straw colour. Stir it occasionally during this time.
Now, stir in the rosewater and food colouring, and mix in the almonds if you are using them. Pour the mixture into a greased 19cm square cake pan. Let the pan sit for a minimum of 12 hours. Cut the jelly into squares using an oiled, sharp knife. I like to let it dry out for about a week, as the mixture is very sticky. Then dust some icing sugar on it or dip it in some melted vegan chocolate.
So decadent.

Those Pesky ResolutionsPosted: December 31, 2012 Filed under: General | Tags: 12 Step, age of wisdom, Dr. David Walker, goal setting, Myrna Loy, New Year's resolutions, Otis Redding, spiritual wisdom, technology, Thin Man, William Powell 14 Comments
"My biggest goal for this year is to celebrate my eightieth birthday," I said. Then I laughed and added, " I'm not sure what I'll do after that because I can't imagine being old."
One of the best things about getting to the wisdom age is that you know that life is what it is. That means it never jogs backward but always trots forward.
This year, I'm not making resolutions or setting goals. I've decided to enjoy life. I live in Sunny San Diego and I'm going to stretch my arms upward and smile back at the sun the next time it shines on me.
That's not a resolution. I love the sun and I claim my right to enjoy every moment. I am not going to work at being anything. I spent the majority of my life trying very hard to improve and then discovered I was already perfect, whole and complete from the get-go. From now on – I'm on vacation.
I've decided to follow the advice I received about 39 years ago. I am going to live one day at a time. That means, I am going to do more or less what I want. If I want to watch old movies all day, I will. If I want to go to the gym, I will.
I know the key to delightful aging is supposed to be learning new things. In previous years, I would have made a goal list and written, "Learn better Spanish", or "Study social media", but not this year. This is the year I declare that I love myself the way I am.
It's true that I benefited from hard work in the past and I don't really begrudge it, but I choose to move into true acceptance in 2013. I am going to take a leaf from my friend Dr. David Walker's book, and say, "I Am Enough".
Truth is, I already know an awful lot of stuff no one else knows. When I leave the planet, I'm convinced there will be no one left who knows the difference between lie and lay or affect and effect. Everyone will say, "He invited John and I to the party" and no one will cringe.
In my lifetime, I've learned a great deal about a great many things. For example, I learned how to put on makeup, brush my hair until it shone, dress to look slimmer, and use good table manners. It got me what I wanted at that time and it was fun while it lasted but that was then and this is now. I've dropped romance and now prefer sunshine keep my bones warm.
At one time or another, I used to know how to sew, cook, garden, and knit. I could make pottery, draw, paint, dance, write long sentences, and teach school. I learned about New Thought history, English literature, and the history of the opera, art, and film. It was all very interesting at the time.
Once, I knew a whole lot of poetry and literature by heart. I knew Emerson's essays, Freud's theories and the Zen stories. I knew the tales of the Bal Shem Tov and the Brothers Grimm. I could read Tarot cards, practice yoga, swim, play poker, play canasta, sell real estate, and dress for success. I even once knew the difference between shall and will.
I am – in short – an accomplished woman. So I won't be writing any new resolutions this year. I like my life pretty much the way it is. After all, it took me a long time to settle into my particular rut.
So what if I prefer my old movies to the new ones? I am perfectly happy looking at Myrna Loy and William Powell drink their way thorough the Thin Man series. So what if I think Otis Redding is a better singer than those new guys whose names sound so peculiar. I understand the lyrics when Otis sings.
It's true there are many, many things I never learned. I can't sing. I never could touch my toes. For that matter, I never really learned to keep house. But I tried for as long as I cared to struggle. From now on, I'm going with the flow.
It is also true there are some things I might be able to learn if I set my head to it. I probably should have learned some of them a long time ago but I don't intend to start now. I've travelled this far without multiplication tables, so I figure I can coast the rest of the way. BofA computers keep my bank balance now and I've had an account with Bank of America since I was fourteen. Why switch horses?
As for technology. I've already learned more than I wanted although I admit that my technological relationships are somewhat disfunctional. I had a fax machine and it went out of style. My scanner is too dim and my copier is crooked. I have a cell phone but it doesn't work at my valley home. I have two Apple computers and only one of them gets the internet. I can't download Netflix and the complaints go on…and on.
I was a liberal arts major. What can you expect of someone who didn't even see a TV until she was 14 and didn't turn on another one until she was 35?
Like Blanche DuBois in Streetcar Named Desire, I depend on the kindness of strangers (actually, mostly my relatives) when it comes to modern devices. I was in the hospital for two days last year and they let me go home early, probably because every time young Dr. Kildare came in, I asked him to help me with my cell phone.
I did not get a Kindle for Christmas because I did not want one. I love my books even if some are dusty. I don't like machines and I do love books so why would I mix pleasure with pain? . You can't underline the good books on a Kindle. You can't trade the trashy ones in for more trashy ones.
Now that I've declared my independence. I give myself permission to change my mind. I will make some resolutions – at least for this day.
I Say No-No
I am not going to try to keep up.
I am not going to do things because they are good for me.
I am not going to criticize myself or others.
I Say Yes-Yes
I am going to march to my own drummer.
I am going to enjoy every moment I can.
I am going to see God in everyone.
I am going to have a Happy New Year.
May 2013 be filled with Love, Light, Joy, Wisdom, Health, Wealth and Lot's Of Fun. You deserve the best!

DARTMOUTH, Mass. – Clinching her fifth double-double in the last seven contests, Corsair junior Nakira Examond (New Bedford, Mass.) muscled her way through the post for a game-high 32 points and 12 rebounds. Despite her efforts, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth fell just short in its effort to stage a double-digit comeback against No. 8 Tufts University by a score of 74-66 on Monday afternoon at the Tripp Athletic Center.
The Basics
Score: Tufts University 74, UMass Dartmouth 66
Records: Tufts University (15-2, 4-1 NESCAC) | UMass Dartmouth (11-3, 5-0 LEC)
How it Happened
Tufts sophomore Erica DeCandido generated a team-high 24 points and nine boards. On the defensive end, freshman Emily Briggs (Canton, Conn.) and junior Jac Knapp (Westfield, N.J.) posted four steals apiece. For UMass Dartmouth, Examond grabbed five off the offensive glass, with fellow forward Alicia Kutil (Franklin, Mass.) pouring in 13 points.
The Jumbos got to the charity stripe early and often in the second period, knocking down five free throws to power an 8-0 run. Each team ran their offense through the post, as opponents DeCandido and Examond tallied 17 and 14 points, respectively, in the first half. A made layup by visiting freshman Emily Briggs (Canton, Conn.) followed by a DeCandido short jumper put the Jumbos up 56-39, but the Corsairs responded with six straight points on the heels of junior Jess Korzec (West Brookfield, Mass.) and Examond to narrow the deficit heading into the fourth.
In the final quarter of play, Tufts senior Melissa Baptista (Somerville, Mass.) converted on a layup to widen the gap, however the hosts stormed back with twelve consecutive points on the shoulders of Examond and Kutil. With just over two minutes to go, Korzec grabbed a clutch offensive rebound and fed Kutil for a successful layup to continue the Corsair momentum.
UMass Dartmouth was forced to foul with the shot clock off, yielding a pair of made free throws by sophomore Sadie Otley (Charlotte, Vt.). Off the ensuing inbounds, Corsair senior Chelsea Houlihan (Wolcott, Conn.) fed Examond for a layup to make it a four point game, but Tufts senior Jennie Mucciarone (North Reading, Mass.) finished a difficult layup through contact to give the visitors just enough of cushion to seal the win.
Inside the Numbers
- The Corsairs out-rebounded the Jumbos by a margin of 43-40.
- Examond recorded career-highs in made and attempted free throws, going 14-for-18 from the line.
- The hosts capitalized on opportunities in the paint, outscoring the visitors 36-24 under the basket.
- Tufts is now 13-11 all-time against UMass Dartmouth.
- The Jumbos snap the Corsairs' longest winning streak in UMass Dartmouth women's basketball program history, ending the consecutive string at eight.
Up Next
The Corsairs will compete in the second game of their four-game home stand on Wednesday, taking on LEC opponent UMass Boston at 5:30 p.m. Tufts will travel to Bates on Saturday, Jan. 20 for a 3 p.m. start time.

Well, you're allowed to make bad choices, I suppose. Policy decisions always make someone unhappy -- they're not needed if everyone's agreed on the right thing to do, they're not even needed if everyone doing the work is agreed on the right thing to do. If you're expecting folks who disagree with you to support policy decisions that go in your favour -- which is presumably what you were hoping for when you asked for one -- you should do likewise for policy decisions that aren't in your favour. > [1] I don't use either our kernel package or d-i.

Taking a 30-Day Yoga Challenge
Kelly is a yogini goddess, and is starting a 30 day yoga challenge today. Go, Kelly go! She also has a blog, which, if you're as into reading as you are into yoga, I would subscribe to. I have no idea how these Novel Ladies read so much. If you want to take a cue from Kelly, get inspired, and commit to your own 30 day practice... whatever it is!
The 30 Day Challenge
A few weeks ago my studio announced that for the month of November they were going to be having a 30 Day Yoga Challenge. The premise is simple: go to one yoga class every day for thirty days. If you need to skip a day, that's okay! You just have to double up another day. A tracking calendar is provided for you and there is no extra fee to participate. At first the sign made me pause and think if I wanted to do it. Within a minute I thought, "Nahhhhh... too hard. How will I go out with my friends after work on Fridays? Forget it!" About a week later I was taking a hot yoga class with the studio owner and during a short rest she encouraged us to sign up. "Your yoga practice will be changed forever," she said. "And there are some prizes."
This intrigued me. My practice will be changed forever? There are prizes?!?! Hmmm... For the rest of the class I was distracted by the thought of how I could accomplish this. How could I make it a priority and work it into my daily schedule for an entire month? I realized quickly that it was feasible if I really wanted to do it. It would involve me pushing myself to take some classes I usually do not, like Power Vinyasa and Hot Fusion, however ultimately that would be a good thing. The catch is that I happen to be a habitual quitter. I start things with enthusiasm and then for whatever reason abandon my activities or tasks. Generally I blame this on my Gemini fickleness but I find it to be a character flaw of mine that needs improvement. I spoke with the owner afterward and of course she was very excited about my participation. She had me sign up for the Thanksgiving Flow Before the Feast charity class and asked if I would be willing to a write a testimonial about the holiday practice. "Oh no," I thought. "I'm committed!"
With some encouragement from my husband and mother I started to believe in myself a little more. Then I thought about who else could keep me accountable. How about my 103 6th graders? I introduced the idea of joining me and starting their own personal 30 Day Challenge. I told them my story, handed out tracking calendars and said that the students who finished the Challenge would be recognized publicly at our December assembly with a certificate. I'd even make a wall of recognition for them! Being such a great group of kids, the response was outstanding and almost all of them decided they would try it out. "I really have to do this now," I said to the English teacher on my team. She laughed and replied, "Yes, you do!"
What am I so afraid of? A yoga class for thirty days straight isn't exactly a solo trip around the world in a tiny sailboat. Or is it? Yoga is a discipline and a commitment. It's going to take me out of my comfort zone. I'm scared that I will get sick of my classes and possibly yoga altogether. It frightens me to think that I might fail because of my track record with quitting things. But the possible benefits outweigh those other outcomes. Because maybe, just maybe, I will demonstrate determination and success with the added sweetness of bettering not only my practice but also strengthening my inner peace.

Koss will receive the 2013 LEGO Prize at the LEGO Idea Conference award ceremony April 9 in Billund, Denmark.
Right To Play is a global organization that uses the transformative power of play to educate and empower children facing adversity. Founded in 1985, the LEGO Prize is awarded to individuals and institutions that have made an extraordinary contribution on behalf of children and young people.
"Johann Koss is awarded the LEGO Prize 2013 as recognition of the tremendous impact he has had on children's lives through his organization, Right To Play," says Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, Chairman of the LEGO Foundation and principal shareholder of the family-owned LEGO Group.
"Since 1993 he has been dedicated to helping vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people to a better future using play and sport as a tool for education and health. Right To Play has shared values and overlapping aims with the LEGO Foundation that works to equip and empower children to build a better tomorrow for themselves and their communities through higher quality learning experiences."
A three-time gold medalist in speed skating at the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, it was a trip to the African nation of Eritrea in 1993 as an ambassador for the organization Olympic Aid, where Koss discovered his passion for helping children, and the potential of play to create change.
Founded in 2000, Right To Play reaches one million children through weekly play activities across more than 20 countries. The organization's programs are designed to respond to the needs of the communities where it operates, and use specially-designed games and play-based learning activities to help children build the essential life skills that will help them better their futures and drive lasting social change.
"Play is not a luxury," says Koss. "Every child has the right to play, not only because it is fun, but because it is critical to their education and healthy development. We share that belief and commitment to children's well-being with the LEGO Foundation and the LEGO Group, which has been providing children with play material that help them learn and grow for more than 80 years. It is a great honour to have Right To Play's work recognized by such an iconic play brand and we are very grateful for this prize."
Past recipients of the LEGO Prize have included Astrid Lindgren, Paul Newman, Mario Lodi, Dean Kamen, Nicholas Negroponte and such institutions as Associacão Santa Therinha in Brazil, the SaekDong Organisation in Korea, and Papalote Museo del Niño in Mexico City. The LEGO Prize was most recently awarded in 2011 – to Sir Ken Robinson for advocating that schools and teachers throughout the world should inspire creativity in children.

Our thirst for instant gratification knows no bounds—even our doctors are on speed dial, thanks to online "diagnostic" chat rooms. But remote consults don't provide the visual or physical cues the physician needs. Modwells, a system of wearable sensors that collect and assess biometric data, moves past this problem. Designed by Jennifer Darmour of Electricfoxy, Modwells not only gives your doctor real-time feedback, but it also allows you to monitor your own health, manage goals, and alleviate ailments such as chronic back pain. Modwells delivers a personalized healthcare "experience," according to Darmour, by adapting to your needs and helping you lead a healthier lifestyle.
Modwells is composed of "mods," a series of sensors that collect and transmit data to a cradle-like "trestle" that processes the data, presents it in a comprehensible format, and recharges the mods wirelessly. Accessories, such as specialized garments, extend the capabilities of the mods by placing them in specific locations. All the data is stored in a cross-platform app nicknamed the "cloud," allowing you or a healthcare professional to access it on a phone, tablet, or PC, no matter where you are.
So far, the system has been tested to track posture with the goal of improving alignment and reducing chronic back pain.
So far, the system has been tested to track posture with the goal of improving alignment and reducing chronic back pain.
So far, Darmour has used her system to track posture, with the goal of improving alignment and reducing chronic back pain. In a case study, the subject wore a specialized sensor garment that monitored her body position. When she deviated from her goal alignment, the system sent an alert via iPhone or iPad to correct her posture. This same system can be used for any number of ailments or health issues, and the parameters can be specified with the help of your healthcare professional.
The potential for Modwells has no bounds: These advanced sensors could someday help track and manage issues such as weight, hydration, diabetes, nutrition, immunity, and recovery from trauma.
We have three words for Darmour: Hop to it.

Summer is just around the corner which means long days at the beach, sipping cocktails by the pool and awesome music festivals which all involve showing a LOT of skin. If your skin is still in denial that summer is approaching and you need to whip it into summer-goddess mode, then keep reading! These few tips will make you look like that chick <—– (ha, I wish.)
Get ready to scrub. I never buy body scrubs or polishes cos you can make them yourself at home for a fraction of the cost with twice the added nutrients! Double win! A quick and easy one I made up and like to use which also helps get rid of fake tan is an oil based one.
Heat half a cup of olive or almond oil with 2 tablespoons of honey in the microwave for about 30 to 40 seconds. Add in roughly half a cup of salt (table, sea or Epsom it doesn't matter) and about half a cup of sugar. Mix in until it's all combined to form a paste. Add more or less sugar/salt depending on how runny it is, it's up to you how you'd like it really.
Time to scrub it in! Rub in a circular motion working from your feet up. Focus on dry areas like your elbows, knees and heels. For extra smooth hands scrub it in vigorously after you're done.
Rinse off and pat dry. Whilst skin is still damp use an light but ultra moisturising moisturiser all over. I love the L'occitane Organic Olive Tree Body Lotion.
This scrub is super easy to make and even better at removing dead skin. The olive oil or almond oil will help slough off the dead skin and any fake tan you may have on while the honey will work in conjunction with the oil to keep skin hydrated and fresh and prevent drying. Honey is also a natural antioxidant and has anti-microbial properties that help to protect the skin from the damage of the sun's rays, supports the skin's ability to rejuvenate and refresh depleted skin to leave it feeling silky soft and supple.
I like to mix both sugar and salt so there's a combination of both fine and course exfoliators and both sugar and salt are anti-oxidents as well as anti-bacterial.
How many body scrubs do you buy pack this much punch for $0?
Try this out next time you feel like a good scrub and let me know how it goes!
Ps, remember to enter yourself into my POP Comp to win a "Benefit Valley of the Stars" kit!

Independent game developers in Australia, particularly those at the beginning of their careers, find themselves stuck for ways to connect and network. In a games industry as small and tight-knit as Australia's, connections are the best step a person can take toward landing a job in the local dev scene.
Networking events are a semi-regular occurrence in Melbourne, the city where much of the nation's game dev industry is concentrated. The thing about these events is that you don't know the people involved, you might not find out when or where they're happening at all. The aim of AIT's Games Mastermind event was to help game dev graduates and industry newcomers make important connections as they begin the often arduous process of finding relevant work.

The witness' motive
In this morning's Waukesha Freeman (just a buck on Saturday), Waukesha Mayor Jeff Scrima said people should question my motives for referring to Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel the open records issue with Waukesha Business Improvement District (BID) President Norm Bruce.
Scrima said, "Since Mr. Bruce turned over the records free of charge, people should question the motives of Mr. Wigderson."
I am going to assume that Scrima did not know of Bruce's alleged attempt to inflate the cost of requesting open records when Scrima made that statement. My motive in this matter, as it is in in anything, is to get to the truth. When a public official makes that more difficult unnecessarily and possibly maliciously, then I have obligations to do my part to ensure that the public has full access to public records.
I don't want to keep referring open records matters to the District Attorney anymore than Schimel wants to see a referral from me in his inbox. The simple solution is to just provide the records that I have legally requested.
The BID Vice President Lynn Gaffey did. So did Kerry Mackay and Ron Lostetter. When they had questions about what I asked, I answered them.
But taking copies of records that I requested over to Quickprint to make more copies and then ask them to charge a higher price is going to get you an interview with the district attorney, and it almost caused a lawsuit to be filed by my attorney Mike Maistelman. As Maxwell Smart would have said, it missed going to court by that much.
As for Bruce's novel contention that he thought he was supposed to charge me $.25/page, nowhere in the emails he sent to me does he ever say that, something the District Attorney will take into account in the investigation. Instead, Bruce attempted to justify the charge by factoring in how much time he spent on answering the request, even though I told him that was illegal.
So either Bruce is lying now (likely) and/or he was lying then (also likely). But both statements cannot be true.
When we question motives, we might have a clue to Bruce's motivation, Mayor Jeff Scrima's attitude towards "bloggers and troublemakers." Scrima's appointment to the BID, it turns out, is only as good as the person who made the appointment.
The Waukesha Freeman reports that Bruce may be subject to a $1000 fine. Here's the actual penalty under the law:
(4) PENALTY. Any authority which or legal custodian under s. 19.33 who arbitrarily and capriciously denies or delays response to a request or charges excessive fees may be required to forfeit not more than $ 1,000. Forfeitures under this section shall be enforced by action on behalf of the state by the attorney general or by the district attorney of any county where a violation occurs. In actions brought by the attorney general, the court shall award any forfeiture recovered together with reasonable costs to the state; and in actions brought by the district attorney, the court shall award any forfeiture recovered together with reasonable costs to the county.
Bruce could potentially be required to reimburse the county for the time spent investigating the alleged violation. In addition, the BID may have questions about Bruce's continued role as president.

Taisun Smith was reading a book, his head wedged up on a pillow, light swaying out from a long thin lamp above his bed. He blew a slow puff of air from his mouth, as he was wont to do in times of frustration. His eyes strained with the words; they seemed nothing more than a black-and-white steeplechase. He tried to make sense from the shapes—the sticks and bowls and dots thrown together—but he couldn't. He let his gaze fall through the lines of print, sightline dropping like a pinball through the gaps, jostling and rolling until it clattered to a halt at the foot of the page, resting on the 2 printed in the bottom right hand corner. He stared at the fine weave of the paper, imagining the tiny patchwork of fibres that held it together. He looked over at his wall clock. Three minutes thirty—this was how long the book had retained his interest. A new record. He closed the book with a familiar snap, a noise that echoed like a laser off his bare white walls.
Taisun Smith lived in an accommodation complex known to the outside world as Ivory Towers Apartments. When the outside world first hears the name, it immediately conjures up visions of sleek, modern studios, filled to the polished rafters with genuine intelligentsia, imagines deep discussions on rooftops with vodka martinis, polished glass surfaces and private gyms. When the outside world finally does lay eyes on Ivory Towers Apartments, however, its premonitions are brutally shattered. The premonitions are so brutally shattered, in fact, that they never really recover; they end up in a dusty bar somewhere shouting at their shoes, wondering where it all went wrong.
Ivory Towers Apartments failed to live up to its name in a myriad of ways. The colour of the building, far from being ivory, had taken up residence somewhere between misty grey and mouse vomit (the latter being a hue with which residents were inevitably acquainted). There were no Towers to speak of either, just a large, oblong brick building that seemed to have a very strained relationship with the terms gravity and mortar. Right at the zenith of this architectural anomaly, Taisun Smith had made his home. Apartment 103.

Dog Portraits, Zelah
16:05 | Posted by artbykarieann | | Edit Post
I'm never quite sure which order I should post pictures in, should it be in the order they were taken or the completed portrait first? Unfortunately I managed to lose some blackness with the flash but you get the idea. Anyway, I spent many hours wokring on Zelah's dog portrait and you can see an extra stage below.
Oddly I seemed to be working in a spiral, I began with the eye area then worked around leaving an ear until last, very odd, I tend to flit around and I seemed to flit all over the place with this portrait!
And just so you can see our version of musical dog beds going on, Stan and Willow have now both abandoned the sofa (yes they have a three seater sofa of their own) and both are trying to stake a claim on the new dog bed I bought.
So Stan won the first round.....
And Willow is waiting in the wings for him to forget she's there ...
So she can sneak on too... and then they both wander off and our little terrier dives in, are they like children and have to have something the other has or do I need to buy another bed?!?
Willow is currently at the vets after an operation, Stan and I waited patiently by the phone for the vet to report on how she was doing, unfortunately she isn't too well so has to stay there for a while.
Stan and I decided to go for a walk to stop ourselves worrying about her and we found it a tad cold!
Look at the frost on the trees! I've never seen a whole wood frozen before.

Travolta Sued for Libel
Actor John Travolta has been sued for libel after the man who wrote a book about his alleged gay encounters with the actor said Travolta had been spreading false statements about his mental health. Robert Randolph is seeking unspecified damages against Travolta and his lawyer. Randolph's book, You'll Never Spa in this Town Again, was published in February, but the author said Travolta had smeared him in an effort to dissuade people from buying the book.

Jamaal Charles won't be cut.
Kansas City Chiefs general manager John Dorsey reiterated Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine that the running back will be back in 2016.
- Remaining free agents
- NFC free agency grades
- AFC free agency grades
- Free agency winners and losers
- Seven riskiest free-agent signings
- Robert Griffin III signs with Cleveland Browns
- Wesseling: Which franchises are on the rise?
- Collateral damage: Players hurt by free agency
- Collateral benefits: Players aided by free agency
"He will be an important piece of this team moving forward," Dorsey said, via the Kansas City Star.
The Chiefs went 11-2 (including two playoff games) sans Charles, who suffered an ACL tear in Week 5. The play of young backs Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware caused some, like NFL Media analyst Marshall Faulk, to ponder why K.C. would retain Charles.
Dorsey, however, dismissed the idea of the Chiefs parting ways with him. The Chiefs could have saved $5.3 million, with no dead money, by cutting Charles. With more than $30 million in cap space, however, Dorsey doesn't need to snip his most talented back to save a couple million bucks.
The GM added Charles' rehab remains ahead of schedule.
"Before I left to come here to Indianapolis, I saw Jamaal down there diligently working in the training room, and all of a sudden I come back down stairs and he's in the weight room," Dorsey said. "I think he's far enough ahead in the process here which is good, it's good for everybody."
Coming off a second ACL rehab, the 29-year-old back should be part of a running back rotation, which will keep his workload down as he enters his ninth NFL season.

I am at it again..sometimes I need to paint a pastry. Especially ones with white paper skirts. They give me joy. And capture moments for me. Lines that shimmer, color that makes me itch to paint it, and significance to source...and gratitude for many blessings. Sometimes a pastry is more than mere cake. Xoxo

More Safety Tips: More Ways to Protect Your Child's Identity
Store your child's Social Security number (SSN) safely
Once you receive your child's Social Security card, store it in a home safe, locked box or safe deposit box. Do NOT carry around the card, or anything that has your child's SSN written on it. Shred any documents that have your family's SSNs on them.
Be computer smart
Keep your anti-virus software up to date, and only open and download content from trusted sources.
Limit what you share on social media
Posts that reveal personal information, like names, birthdays and hometowns increase your vulnerability—especially if you use the same information in your online passwords and password hints. In fact, according to AllClear ID's 2012 Child Identity Theft Report, "people who upload new photos of children and family members experience fraud at a higher rate than the general population."
Educate your child
If your child is old enough to go online, talk to him/her about the types of information that are unsafe to share. Show him/her the red flags to look out for when opening and downloading content.

Why Fontys?
The "Fontys way of studying" taught me how to put theory into practice. Fontys managed to find a great balance between the theoretical and practical part, which I believe is a very important factor in every school. It has helped me sharpen my skills in very short time and become a lot more productive.
Can you tell something about your campus / city?
Moving to the Netherlands has literally changed my life. I've developed very strong bonds with people from all over the world, and will continue to do so while pursuing my Software Engineering degree at Fontys in Venlo. It's a small city, but if you're a bit adventurous, you can find a lot of things to do. Venlo is also right next to the German border, so you have many other possibilities from here. It's overall a great location.
Do you have some tips for new students?
A lot of new students worry about various topics, especially the international ones. My advice would be to make sure they analyze the study programme carefully and think multiple times before making a decision, since it's a very important step to consider. If they are not sure about it, they can get in touch with us.
Anything you want to add…..
The Netherlands are a cycling heaven, so don't forget to bring your bicycle, or buy one from here! The landscapes are amazing, and it would be a pity to miss them out.

Trooper to Trooper Navy Senior Chief Machinist Mate Donald Brock NEGB Battalion Operations LCPO _________________________________________________________ No man can always be right. So the struggle is to do ones best, to keep the brain and conscience clear, never be swayed by unworthy motives or inconsequential reasons, but to strive to unearth the basic factors involved, then do ones duty, said Dwight D. Eisenhower. Troopers, integrity means to always be honest, truthful and do the right thing even when no one else is looking or when faced with adversity. Each of us came to Joint Task Force Guantanamo from all walks of life, different branches of service and different communities. We each have a diverse background of talents within mission that is not understood by many. One very important thing that binds us all together is the immense sense of integrity each of us shares. This bond is so strong that each individual can trust one another to meet the needs of the moment and accomplish the mission. To me, integrity is the foundation of who we are as service men and women. It is the very essence of our core values. The military has a tradition of producing great leaders that possess the highest ethical standards and integrity. It produces men and women of character; character that allows them to deal ethically with the challenges of today and to make conscious decisions about how they approach tomorrow. However, this is not done instantly. It requires that integrity become a way of life. It must be woven into the very fabric of our soul. We are faced with important decisions every day of our lives. It is vital that we evaluate every detail of every situation before we make a decision. There is no room for compromise in the integrity of our word and actions. When I think of the word integrity as a submariner, I think naturally of the phrase, watertight integrity. When we shut the hatches, we value the assurance that no water is going to enter into the people tank. Those hatches have been inspected, both during preventative As a Auxiliary Divisions Leading Chief Petty and ensuring the quality of their condition, whenever we inspect and conduct maintenance on them. Every one of my shipmates lives depends on my personal integrity to ensure that our hatches are squared away. Even when they are rigged for a dive, they are secondchecked to guarantee their water-tightness. No matter how big or small the task I am entrusted with, one mistake could threaten the lives of every one of my shipmates. To all my fellow Troopers in the Joint Task Force, whether you are on-duty, off-duty, on of, guard your integrity like you would guard your own life. Once you have lost it, it is very hard to get it back. Honor Bound!

Juanita Philip JTF Guantanamo Public Affairs ____________________________On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, known at that time as the Great War. From that act In Nov. 1919, President Woodrow of Armistice Day with the following pride in the heroism of those who died in the countrys service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show councils of the nations an armistice, between the Allied nations of the United Kingdom, France and the Russian Empire and Germany went into effect. It is for that reason, Nov. 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the day that marked the end of the war to end all wars. Armistice Day became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. The federal act which was approved May 13, 1938, made Nov. 11 a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated. It was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became American veterans of all wars.

Movie ReviewFRID A Y, NOV. 5, 2010 | MOVIE REVIE W THE WIRE | PA GE 5 Navy Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Shane Arrington JTF Guantanamo Public Affairs ____________________________ review is on Going the Distance. Thats right my loyal readers, all three of you, this is my last review. After 13 months, my time Going the Distance stars Drew Barrymore and Justin Long, and focuses on two people suffering a long distance relationship sounds like many Troopers here. Erin (Barrymore) meets Garrett (Long) while doing an internship at a big New York newspaper. Knowing their time is limited, they have an understanding that when the internship is over and she goes back to San Francisco their relationship is over. Yeah, that didnt happen. When it is time for Erin to leave, she and Garrett decide they cant break it off and decide to continue their relationship long distance. Long distance relationships are tough, but doable. Just like many Troopers here, Erin and Garrett go through ups and downs. While the premise of the movie may lead you to believe it is a drama, youd be wrong. While the movie can be slow at times, when it makes you laugh it makes you laugh! bringing their off-camera chemistry to the silver screen, or in our case, the piece of fabric stretched across some wood. The situation may not make you smile, but the skills of these actors and the hilarious this movie worth watching. I cant believe this is my last review for The Wire. Being the guy that voices his opinion about the movies were lucky enough to get has been a pretty awesome experience. I have had many people ask me if I hate someone say they hated me for a review, Eclipse, I was stoked! They werent all bad though, Toy Story 3, Get Him to the Greek, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, were some of the greatest movies of the year. I admit though, knew Id have a blast tearing them apart! there are things I will miss about this place, one of the main ones being the review guy. Its been fun. PEACE! Surviving the distance

Chaplains PageI have been watching the Showtime series, Dexter, based on the book series by Jeff Lindsay. Dexter is a psychopathic serial killer who tries to only kill by a code his deceased adopted father care deeply for him. He only tries to kill bad guys based on this code. However, he has killed a couple of innocent people either by accident or if they got too close to knowing the truth about him. It is very hard not to get sucked into the story and not to start makes his likability even more disturbing. Some ethic principles believe motive is important, most religions agree that motives are very important in determining the rightness of an action. necessary or does character and integrity matter? All military branches are guided by their core values, all of them emphasize that character does matter. It is important to give ourselves gut checks to make sure we do the right things for heroes.

What can a Bicycle buying guide teach you about accounting software? More than you think. In the latest Bicycling Magazine print issue, a quote that hits home was this: "buy the bike you see yourself riding in two years."
It's simple, it makes sense, and it can easily be related to your business.
The Case for Accounting that Can Grow with Your Company
Here's an example. Say you use QuickBooks, Sage One, Xero, Sage 50, or any other basic small business accounting software, and are kicking the tires on just moving to a next step software like QuickBooks Enterprise or Sage 100.
These are platforms that may be good for you now, but what about two, three, or ten years from now? Will this software you're considering now still be as useful when you have multiple locations, more stakeholders, increased transactions, or additional employees?
The short answer is, it won't. However, if this doesn't dissuade you from using the software, consider the challenges it takes to implement a new system. Now consider how much more challenging it will be to get this done when your organization is twice the size. Think of all the additional training, data migration, and more that it would take only after your company has grown.
Organizations need software that can grow and/or scale with them—even if the only reason is that upgrading later would be a more complex process.
How to Thrive at All Points During Your Growth
Intact was built with the end user in mind, with every last consideration made to help your organization thrive at all points during its growth. From the single location with one accountant to the post-IPO organization with a CFO, controller, and financial staff of 50 or more.
In its recent blog, Scaling from $0-100MM ARR, it shared the challenges and opportunities that a software company faces as it moves from concept to established player and beyond:
- Survival: $0-2MM ARR: As you seek initial investment, attract your first customers, and prepare for funding rounds, the needs are as simple as paying bills, making sure your customers pay theirs, tracking basic taxes, and keeping the lights on.
- Building: $2-10MM ARR: With more customers and more funding, you have more people to whom you are answering. Board members expect financial statements quarterly, you have more customers to bill, and your sales staff is out closing deals. This means you need enhanced reporting, improved expense management processes, and a team to manage all of this.
- Execution: $10-30MM ARR: Now is where things start to speed up. Your business processes are maturing, and this is a point in which finance needs to ensure that processes are as efficient as possible and financial statements are audit-ready.
- Liftoff: $30-100MM ARR: Here's where the regulatory complexities take hold. You've likely received funding from a large institutional investor, and need to be able to close books and report in days, not months. For companies on the brink of an IPO, this requires even more detail as your business looks to be able to report not just to a handful of qualified investors but to the public.
Needless to say, with each step of the way, more complexity is required from your finance team, because with each new customer, investor, or new hire, you are adding more strain to financial systems that can't thrive under the pressure.

|Pikmin 3
Captain Charlie (チャーリー?), also commonly referred to as Charlie, is one of the three new playable characters in Pikmin 3. He wears a spacesuit with a green lapel and a star-shaped badge on its left side. He has an average-sized nose, a dark brown mohawk and a tiny mustache, and like Alph, has eyes that are wide open at all times. His skin is also the most tan out of the three explorers. He, along with Brittany and Alph, come from the planet Koppai in search of a new food source for their planet, and serves as the captain of their space-faring vessel, the S.S. Drake. He also takes a rubber ducky with him on every mission for good luck.
Charlie is revered as a hero on Koppai. Alph even describes him as "one of Koppai's greatest legends".
Charlie is the first character to be played as, and is the farthest away from the ship. After encountering Yellow Pikmin, and introducing all the controls, he goes into a cave where he encounters the offspring of the Vehemoth Phosbat and defeats them, thereby angering the mother. Shortly after this encounter, he is attacked after a strange shadow is seen flying around him. He is later recovered in the Distant Tundra by Alph and Brittany when they defeat the Phosbat. His crash site is found later in the game by Olimar, as suggested by a data file found in the area.
In game, Charlie plays the same as Alph and Brittany.
When Pikmin 3 was translated for European audiences, his personality had been kept mostly the same, but after the game was ported to America, Nintendo of America changed most of his personality for unknown reasons.
Charlie is shown as a very capable, level-headed leader and shows a lot of care and a sense of protection towards the people he loves and respects. In some reports it's revealed that he prefers to stay vigilant near the S.S. Drakes door to protect his crewmates and greatly appreciates their presence, since he was often alone in space during his youth as a ranger. Charlie also shows great interest in the natural landscapes of PNF-404, as he considers the beauty of the plants and flowers to have moved him in a way that's difficult to describe. Charlie also seems to have a really keen interest towards ducks, demonstrating a lot of knowledge about them, owning a Rubber Ducky as a lucky charm and having a pet duck named Elizabeth whom he describes as his soulmate. There are many parts in the game's story where Charlie tries to show his deep affection towards Brittany, only to be interrupted by some other, pressing matter. His crush on Brittany is further accentuated in several reports where he plans to collect a few flowers as a present for Brittany and where he describes that, if he has to throw a crew member, he would always choose Alph first because "You shouldn't throw away the things you love..."
In the North American release, however, Charlie's affection towards Brittany is removed, and instead, is replaced by him having a massive ego, giving self-praising, boastful statements. For example, in the European version, after being rescued from the Vehemoth Phosbat, he states something along the lines of
right before being interrupted. But in the American version, he states,
The reasoning behind this was unknown.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U[edit]
Charlie appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. One of Alph's alternate customs also sports a green color scheme, reminiscent of Charlie. This alternate custom is present in the 3DS version too.
Trophy information:
Charlie's name is derived from the term used for the letter C in the phonetic alphabet. This makes sense as Alph (Alpha) is also used for A in the phonetic alphabet; the initial of his name is also the same letter of his prototype name (Character C), just like Alph and Brittany.

- Due to the fact that Charlie and Alph land in separate areas, Charlie meets Yellow Pikmin rather than red ones like Alph. However, he does not discover their Onion, so they are not formally introduced until later on.
- Captain Charlie led three missions prior to Pikmin 3, named Operation: Rubber Ducky Up A Tree, Operation: Beached Rubber Ducky, and Operation: Rubber Ducky Stucky.

I love my slow cooker. I even have a bumper sticker that says so.
This is something really terrific — it takes 5 minutes to get ready, all day to cook and fill the house with heavenly smells, and no time at all to bring to the table for a satisfying and wonderful meal. Thank you to Clean Eating Chelsey for her version of Magic Bean Soup. As opposed to this one, from me and Michael Ruhlman.
- 2 cans Mexican-style diced tomatoes
- 1 can regular diced tomatoes + 1 full can water
- 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cans kidney (red) beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can Great Northern (white) beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 5-6 red potatoes, diced 3/4-inch
- 2 t. chili powder
- 1 t. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 t. garlic powder
- 1 t. salt
- 1 t. black pepper
Add all the ingredients to a slow cooker, set to low, and go to work. If your mornings are exceedingly busy, the best strategy may be to put it all together the night before, leave it in the refrigerator all night, and then pop it into the base and turn it on before you leave in the morning. Do not forget to do this last step! Plan on taking leftovers to work the next day.

MatchDay #26: Beat the Burn
The weather (warm with lots of sun), the stadium (signs point to an actual sell-out at Livestrong Sporting Park) and quality of play (Sporting are the on-form side in MLS and 2nd place in the East, Dallas is 3rd in the West) are all aligning perfectly for Kansas City. To borrow a phrase from the late great Badger Bob Johnson (he was a hockey coach), "It's a great day for soccer."
FC Dallas are coming to town, and Sporting has to be thinking of a season sweep.
Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. at Livestrong. Here's everything you'll need to know to get ready for the game.

Caltrans News Release
District 11
Jan. 13, 2017
Contact: Steven Shultz
Caltrans (619) 688-6670
Build NCC Construction to Begin Next Week in Encinitas and Solana Beach
SAN DIEGO—Construction will begin next week in North San Diego County on the first phase of the North Coast Corridor (NCC) Program, known as Build NCC. The project has involved more than a decade of collaborative planning efforts between Caltrans, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), local cities, the California Coastal Commission, resource agencies, and community members.
Build NCC includes:
- Extending carpool lanes on Interstate 5 (I-5) in each direction between Lomas Santa Fe Drive and State Route 78;
- Double tracking the rail line from Cardiff-by-the-Sea to Solana Beach;
- Replacing the highway and rail bridges at the San Elijo and Batiquitos lagoons;
- Restoring the San Elijo Lagoon; and
- Constructing nearly 10 miles of new bikeways and pedestrian trails.
Crews will be fencing off construction areas and removing vegetation along both sides of I-5, from just north of Lomas Santa Fe Dr. to just south of Birmingham Dr. and along the rail line between Cardiff-by-the-Sea and Solana Beach.
Upon project completion, crews will replace removed vegetation with non-invasive landscape that is native to the region's coastal zone, including nearly 400 trees, while protecting lagoon views. The new landscape will be irrigated with 100 percent recycled water, which will be turned off once the vegetation has been established.
This preliminary work will take approximately six weeks to complete and will occur Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., with some intermittent night work as needed. During vegetation removal and construction along I-5, the San Elijo Lagoon trail just east of I-5 will be closed to maintain public safety in the area.
Residents near I-5 and the rail line in Solana Beach and Encinitas can expect to see construction equipment and vehicles moving in and out of the work areas. During construction, motorists are reminded to slow down. Not only is it required by law, it is important for the safety of motorists and workers alike.
Construction on the first phase is expected to be completed by 2021.
For the latest updates on Build NCC, please visit KeepSanDiegoMoving.com/BuildNCC, call the construction hotline at (844) NCC-0050, email the project team at firstname.lastname@example.com, or follow @BuildNCC on Twitter

Well, at least in these conditions... without a fat bike...
After (unexpectedly) serving my civic duty on Friday morning, Tyler and I left around 1pm. Eighty miles later we arrived at the Kougarock bridge at and took off to find the trail around 3pm.
About a mile down a "real" trail we saw a muddy swath previously cut by 4-wheelers heading up the hill. I was hoping the first few miles would be the only be muddy parts but no such luck. The rain put a little damper on my grand vision of a nice dry ride-able trail.
We finally ditched the bikes after 6 miles and packed it on foot. It was like walking through a rice paddy for three days.
My goal of Imuruk lake was long gone with the loss of a day and the mud.
But we had a great hike into relatively unknown territory up into the Bering Preserve and on to Aurora area. It was a blast with lots of heavy slogging, tundra variations with some ankle twisters and an awesome set of grizz with wolf tracks.
Walking side by side probably talking about those silly humans... or maybe it was a wolf bear.
Of course no self respecting Alaskan adventure is not without some empty barrel artifacts
or some gold mining architecture
or an obscenely deep narrow stream crossing with an old piece of timber,
Overall about 60 - 70 miles total according to the GPS, about half what was needed to get to the lake. I was fairly amazed that there was an embedded old trail that eventually ends up in Deering. The country was remote and oh so vast and beautiful. We did manage to see the lava fields and the lake in the distance. I'm excited about going back in the fall with my fat bike on frozen tundra.

Corporate Message
Shigetaka Komori : Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (left)
Kenji Sukeno : President and Chief Operating Officer (right)
In line with our corporate slogan, we are constantly striving to contribute to resolving social issues through the creation of new value.
FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation is the holding company of the Fujifilm Group with the two following operating companies under its umbrella: FUJIFILM Corporation and Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.
Due to rapid digitization, the Fujifilm Group once faced a dramatic reduction of the market demand for our main products, photosensitive materials including photographic film and color photographic paper. After overcoming such a drastic change in the operating environment, the entire company has united its efforts to reform our business structure and realize a robust corporate constitution throughout the Group. Today, Fujifilm Group has been reborn as a corporate group that is currently engaged in several fields with the potential for future growth. We have now entered a phase whereby we can pursue new growth and make a strategic leap forward.
Recently, we have been focusing on the following priority business fields: Healthcare which includes the development of medical equipment, functional skin care cosmetics, nutritional supplements, pharmaceutical products and regenerative medicine; Graphic Systems such as printing materials and equipment; Document solutions including office equipment and solutions; Optical Devices such as broadcast lenses and security lenses; Highly Functional Materials such as LCD materials and touch-panel sensor film; and Digital Imaging which encompasses digital cameras, "instax" instant photo systems and Photobook. We are expanding our capabilities in these fields through proactive M&A as well as investment in management resources, R&D and facilities.
The Fujifilm Group possesses a wealth of expertise in a wide range of fields from organic chemistry to semiconductors and information science, which has been cultivated over many years through the development of photographic technologies, advanced mechatronics and proprietary drug development capabilities. By integration and investing resources in these advanced and unique technologies, we are endeavoring to create new values.
The real worth of a manufacturer exists in the creation of truly beneficial and valuable products and services that enhance people's quality of life by utilizing its leading-edge and proprietary technologies, and delivering outstanding products to as many customers as possible. If a company's products are widely used, the value of the product and that of the company will be clearly recognized. Accordingly, we will be able to achieve increased sales and profits. This will enable us to invest in the future and continue to create outstanding products.
The Fujifilm Group will steadfastly uphold its corporate philosophy, "We will use leading-edge, proprietary technologies to provide top-quality products and services that contribute to the advancement of culture, science, technology and industry, as well as improved health and environmental protection in society. Our overarching aim is to help enhance the quality of life of people worldwide." With this philosophy always in mind, and with the proactive involvement of the entire Fujifilm Group in business development, we are determined to fulfill our social responsibilities and earn the trust of society by creating new value and contributing to resolving social issues.

I was looking through Danna Korn's "Wheat Free Worry Free" the other night and realized that there are still products that I don't think about or worry about that I should.
Here is a list of items to either avoid completely or to do your homework on. I really needed this reminder to keep me thinking.
- Envelopes, stamps or other gummed labels
- Medicines
- Cross contamination between food store bins selling raw flours and grains (the scoops are the culprit)
- Non-gluten free bread crumbs in butter, jams, toasters, counters, etc.
- Packet & canned soups
- Ground spices- wheat flour is often used to prevent caking
- Gravy mixes
- Laxatives- check carefully
- Ice Creams- check carefully
- Rice cakes and crackers
- Sandwich meats
- Beef and Chicken broth
- Egg substitutes
- Baked beans
- Dry roasted nuts
- Dried fruits
- Fruit pie fillings
- Potato Chips
- Instant drinks (tea, coffee, fruit drinks, chocolate)
- Gum
- Marshmallows
- Candy
- Baking Powder
- Worcestershire Sauce
So the next time life gets busy and I just grab something to eat or to even touch my lips I hope I remember to stop and ask myself. Is this bad for me?
