About Coming Home to Steeple Ridge:
Darren Buttars is cool, collected, and quiet—and utterly devastated when his girlfriend of nine months, Farrah Irvine, breaks up with him because he wanted her to ride her horse in a parade.
But Farrah doesn't ride anymore, a fact she made very clear to Darren. When they run into each other again in small-town Island Park, the spark between them is as hot as ever. But they can't seem to agree on anything and end up arguing as much as they kiss.
Farrah returned to her childhood home with so much baggage, she doesn't know where to start with the unpacking. Darren's the only Buttars brother who isn't married, and he wants to make Island Park his permanent home—with Farrah. Can they find their way through the heartache to achieve a happily-ever-after together?

text: THIS TUTORIAL IS FOR NO VIDEO QUALITY LOSS! (no encoding video) Audio will be downmixed to 2 channel AAC Before you begin reading I would like to point out that this method was in no way shape or form created by me. This guide was created with extensive google searching, which was done for you at this point so the process can be simplified. You will have to download third party software/shareware for this method to work. This is a step-by-step guide I put together because for days I've been searching the forums attempting to gather information together to form a single conclusion on how to do this. For a M$ computer this task seems relatively easy, but it can be for a Mac+PS3 user as well. First off Playstation 3 has a limit on their HDD's due to FAT32 format. Seems to be only with MP4 though and in this tutorial I will guide you on how to split your MKV files to quickly convert them into working PS3 playable MP4's. The tools you will need are as follows: (Direct download links included) You will need Quicktime Pro + Perian. If you have a mac (which you already should) Quicktime is default installed on your computer. Perian is located here. You will also need MKVToolnix GUI ver. which can be located here. NullRiver MediaLink MediaLink Homepage ...and lastly you'll need a few minutes. NOT HOURS! I'm just going to go out on a limb and assume you already have a .MKV file on your hands. IF YOUR MKV FILE IS SMALLER THAN 4GB ie. SOME 720p films SKIP THE FIRST STEP please check the info on your MKV file and check the file size! (if you are using a 1080p file over 4GB please proceed) Step 1.) Go to your applications folder and open the newly installed program MKVMerge. Click the add button and select the MKV file we're going to split in half. Uncheck your subtitle track(s) in the track window. Leave audio and video alone. At the top of the program click "Global". Check enable splitting and tick off "...after this size". To the blank box next to that enter in "4000M" without quotes. Also make sure you enter in "2" for max number of files. Go back to your input screen and look at the bottom of the program you will see "Output filename" set it to somewhere you can find it, ie. your Desktop. Click on "Start Muxing". To sum that process up, that will take you MKV file and split it into 2 files with the extension .MKA. Now on your desktop, or wherever you have saved your files to with MKVMerge. Both files are now under 4GB if you have a 1080p movie. Step 2.) For those who are converting the ever-famous 720p movies that are usually under 4GB welcome to the show. Open up Quicktime Pro -> File -> Open File... select your first MKA file or (the beginning of your movie) Let the movie load you will see the playbar filling up with a darker color. After the movie is fully loaded into Quicktime Pro you will then go to File -> Export... You're going to save your movie to "Movie to MPEG-4" in the dropdown menu and here's the fun part. Click Options and make sure that MP4 is selected in the File Format dropdown bar and not MP4 (ISMA). The video format will be Video Passthrough. This means you will lose NO quality whatsoever. That's right NO QUALITY LOSS! Click audio from top to bottom select AAC_LC (Music) -> 128kbps -> Stereo -> 48.000 kHz -> Best hit "Okay" then "Save" this should take about 20 minutes. Just so you know Quicktime Pro can multitask so you can repeat Step 2 for the second part of your movie! Grab a snack... Once you have two MP4 files on your desktop (or wherever you saved them) they are ready to go onto your PS3. You may or may not have trouble streaming these files to your PS3 depending on your router/home network activity, so I will explain how to store them on your PS3 HDD. In the video section of your XMB on PS3 click on MediaLink Icon (my preferred program for this) and navigate to the folder where you saved your new MP4 files. Once you've found them hit triangle and then copy. This process takes a few minutes. And there you have it folks. No quality loss in your video and NO RE-ENCODING anything but the audio. 6 hours? or 30 minutes? you decide. EDIT: If the passthrough option seems to be unavailable no matter what you do, try waiting until the movie is fully loaded into QT Pro and then hit Window -> Movie Properties then remove or uncheck the subtitle track and try again.

I was thinking whether or not to make this a continuation of the veneering bog, however many items here have more to do with vacuum systems, than veneering.
Hence a new Blog!
Photo one is a Demilune Hall Table top jig.
Photo two is a 30 inch long tee square which we use for biscuiting and routing duties. We make marks on the blue tape, were the biscuits go. When were done we replace the tape.
Photo three is an 8" square that we use to biscuit cabinet sides on.
Photo four is a pair of right angle jigs that are used to hold parts at a perfect right angle.
Photo five is a jig to replace the sacraficial insert in our drill press table. It is standing on edge to show the gasket material on both sides.
Photo six is a short dado jig, also used for biscuiting.
Again, as almost always, I didn't invent these products. I did make them, and possibly improve them for our use.
By now I'm certain everbody here is aware that the vacuum system is a big part of our woodworking habits.
Part of my strong points in the shop is coming up with ways to cut back on the labor / time involved in any task which is repetitive. This may be due to fact that I have the attention span of a fly.
Or maybe it's due to my desire to actually make a profit, with this business.
One of the biggest ways of improving productivity is by means of using templates. The photos in this series are all based on making if faster, easier, or eliminating an additional person, normally involved in the process.
This does offer us small advantage over competiters. And frankly most of our competiters don't go
to the extremes we do. This offers them an advantage in bidding projects. The added attention to detail does add to the time required to complete a project. Client's can't possibly be aware of this detail, until after the job is done.
That neither helps them or us. More often than not we are the higgh bidder, which unless the client is aware of our work, is a strike against us. Many competiters also bid low, and hit the client with change orders. Anything not specifically pointed out on the plans is an extra. We refuse to operate like this, as we feel it is less than honorable.
Anyway, these jigs keep us competitive, and are easy to make. We keep sheets of Lexan or Plexiglass on hand in 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4" for when the need arises to make a specialty jig.
Keeping small pieces of plexiglass is a great idea, as you never know when you'll need it.

On Sept 7th 2016, LIB revealed that Mohammed Babangida was battling his ex-wife Rahama for custody of their two eldest kids. From court documents exclusively obtained, Mohammad initiated the custody battle by taking his ex-wife to a Sharia Court in Minna, Niger. (Read here)
Accusations have however been going back and forth between both parties, with people close to Rahma alleging that Mohammed has been harrasing and threatening her, trying to seize custody of their kids. She has now re-confirmed this in a post shared via Instagram. She wrote:
"Mr Muhammad Babangida, pls understand sending thugs to abduct my children is not helping matters. You have traumatized the kids by sending ur goons to kill me, arrest me while they are watching. Then today you send your thugs again to snatch my children (and they almost killed my precious daughter by grabbing her neck and choking her, thank god the school has good security system otherwise only God knows what will happen) while we are in court!
Why won't you allow the court to pass judgment? Are you afraid that you can't corrupt every one? Haba muha, enough is enough. I'm truly blessed the school were quick to react, my driver was quick to respond and my nanny telling the kids to run while she held on tight to the kids that your stupid goons beat her. Allah ya isa. #iamafighter #willfighttilltheend

The winning answer in this month's poll was one added by a reader:
What genre shows women in the best light?
* Crime Drama: 20% (10)
* Comedy: 10% (5)
* Action: 6% (3)
* Sci-Fi/Fantasy: 29% (15)
* Reality TV: 2% (1)
* Depends on show's writing team1: 33% (17)
That's just it, isn't it? Any genre can show both men and women as characters instead of stereotypes, or as positive role models instead of people you want to hide from your kids. It comes down to the aims of "The Powers That Be" – a catchall term referring to the conglomerate of not-entirely-visible people who decide what's going to happen on any given TV show or movie.
The second strongest answer was "Sci-Fi/Fantasy". Science fiction's come a long way, baby, but it hasn't been pure progress. And when you review it, it's actually sad to think that this probably is the best light women have been shown in.
In the 1960's, Gene Roddenberry was lucky to get Uhura on the bridge at all, and the closest anyone other than a white, red-blooded, American good ol' boy (played by Canadian William Shatner, cowboy hat sold separately) could get was second in command. Fast-forward ten years, and we got Princess Leia, who had a nice title, but in the end all her bitchy assertiveness just turned out to be foreplay, and once claimed by an even bitchier man, Han "Yes, It's Still My Time of the Month" Solo, she had a personality bypass.
Around this same time, we got Ripley, who remains sadly unique to this day: a character who just happened to be a woman.
Throughout the eighties, women remained more likely to be shown as love bunnies and cardboard cutouts of prettiness than anything else – so I went on my first multi-year boycott spree of the cinema, and honestly couldn't tell you if there was anything good. No one's recommended anything I missed.
In the 90's, we got Agent Starling and thought that was pretty cool, even though she had some silghtly disturbing daddy-boss lust issues with Jack Crawford – which was okay characterization for one woman, but maybe if we'd realized it was going to become the standard, misapplied model for 90% of the Kick-Ass Chick characters out there, we'd have protested. We got Scully, who was tough and (for a change) the rational counterpart to Mulder's little girl hissy fits and irrational obsessions. 'Course, she was always wrong, proving that even when you switch gender roles, the man still has to be right. But we tried to ignore that. We got Crusher and Janeway and Troi, but I didn't really watch any of the Star Trek shows from this time, so if anyone wants to elaborate on them, feel free to comment. We got Xena and Buffy, who were pretty cool, but we weren't sure female superheroes counted in the representation of real women. Then we got Sam Carter, who actually, you know, like, functioned on a military team and stuff. She didn't have much personality, and she'd inherited Agent Starling's daddy-boss lust issues, but we could overlook those things.
Then came the 2000's, and suddenly we had to be punished for overlooking Sam Carter's lack of personality and daddy-boss lust issues, as the latter took over her character and she deteriotated into someone many fans could not buy as "commanding officer material". I'm not sure what happened to Scully because I'd stopped watching. Xena did okay, but Buffy died and got resurrected as the Shrew Beast from Hell (I dunno – I saw that one coming and stopped watching, but I've not heard anything nice about Buffy in the last two seasons).
On the flipside, Australia sent us the women of Farscape, who were exactly as interesting and complex as the men. It took the US a few more years to get around to anything even remotely comparable, with the new Battlestar Galactica, where women are competent, sleazy, brave and cowardly, foolish and wise – you know, like in real life.
Is there a pattern? If so, what does it correspond to? There's been a real backlash against feminism in the 2000's – is this why some of the good women characters of the late 90's had to be deconstructed into stereotypes? I mean, they could've simply replaced Buffy and Sam with pliable bunnies, if those two women were no longer trendy. But then they'd have become martyrs, icons of a bygone era. So instead, they made them into objects of loathing for the very fans who'd cherished their mold-breaking behavior. There's got to be more going on here than simple changing trends. I can read it as a sort of Orwellian purge of the concepts of competent military women and kick-ass teenage girls, rather than a simple abandonment of once-fashionable icons. Such is the power of deconstructing characters:
But the deconstruction is like a betrayal: it makes you feel like the character never was what she appeared to be. She fooled you, stupid. And that makes you resent her, and then – if you're not the self-vigilant type – it might just make you suspicious the next time you meet a real life woman who says she doesn't need a man to make her existence worthwhile. You won't be fooled twice!

Posted on Monday 28 December 2009
The end of the year is fast-approaching. That means I spent a few hours yesterday looking at our finances. Due to an extra paycheck that I wasn't expecting (it was scheduled for Friday 1/1 but that's a holiday so it was moved to Thursday 12/31), I was able to max out my 401k. I originally expected to be a few hundred dollars short so that was a pleasant surprise. However, Mr. Savvy is on the same pay schedule as me. That meant he exceeded the max by several hundred dollars. That money went into after-tax contributions. I guess it's done now but I would have much rather that money go into his SEP-IRA instead.
Next, I tallied up my total income for the year, including the extra paycheck. I sent an extra payment to our church online to 'true up' my tithe for the year. I also need to remember to take the bag of stuff in my closet to Goodwill before the year is over.
Next, I sent another $200 to my IRA. I'm nowhere near maxing that out but will before the April 15 deadline. Once I'm done contributing, I will do a Roth conversion. I also took a look at our asset allocation. There are a few tweaks to be made but there's no rush for that. What year-end money moves are you making?

|Alaska Contract Staffing
Alaska Journal of Commerce
Alaskans have long believed oil discovered in the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge could help keep the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System operating and also replenish the state treasury.
It may be a pipe dream because the federal government shows no sign of opening the coastal plain to further exploration and Congressional approval is required for any exploratory drilling or leasing.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, who denied the State of Alaska's proposal for new seismic exploration of the ANWR coastal plain and is awaiting the outcome of a court case challenging that decision, wants to make it wilderness, a permanent lockup.
But what if? What if there were exploration, and discoveries? How much oil could there be? State officials told legislators in February the revenue to the state treasury could total more than $150 billion over 50 years.
ANWR's coastal plain, in the eastern North Slope, is thought by geologists to have the best potential for major discoveries of any unexplored onshore area of the U.S.
Major oil fields have been discovered in the central North Slope, including the very large Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk River fields. There is potential for further discoveries in this area but they are expected to be smaller.
The southern North Slope, and the huge 23-million-acre National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska on the western Slope, are generally thought by geologists to be prone to natural gas discoveries although some oil will almost certainly also be found.
The most informed estimate on ANWR's coastal plain area came from the U.S. Geological Survey in 1998, which made a "mean" estimate of 7.7 billion barrels of recoverable oil that could be discovered. "Mean" is basically mid-way between high and low estimates.
Whether oil is really there isn't known for sure. The USGS worked with data from 1,180 miles of two-dimensional seismic program conducted between 1983 and 1985, plus what is known about the regional geology.
The only exploration well drilled in ANWR, in a 91,000-acre in-holding of private lands owned by Kakovik Inupiat Corp. and Arctic Slope Regional Corp., was drilled in the early 1980s by BP and Chevron Corp., and the results are still secret.
No matter what the drilling showed, development of even these private lands are blocked unless Congress decides to open the rest of the costal refuge.
Still, state legislators in Juneau want to know what Alaskans may be missing out on.
In mid-February, the House Resources Committee asked the state departments of Natural Resources and Revenue to develop the most plausible oil discovery and production scenarios based on that is known, and to derive state revenue estimates from those.
The two agencies presented their results to the committee on Feb. 12.
Paul Decker, acting director of DNR's Division of Oil and Gas, described ANWR's regional geology in the so-called "1002" area, a coastal plain area named for the section of the law in which Congress designated for additional study of petroleum resources in the Alaska National Interest Lands and Conservation Act of 1980, the federal law that created the refuge.
Decker said the best prospects for discovery are in the western third of the coastal plain, which state geologists believe to hold the most oil potential. Of the 7.7 billion barrels of resources estimated to be in the 1002 area, 6.4 billion barrels are expected to be in the western third.
That is about five times the oil potential of the eastern two-thirds of the coastal plain.
"The northwestern one-third of the coastal plain is geologically simpler and more favorable to hosting oil accumulations," Decker told the committee.
The area is also adjacent to state lands across the Canning River where companies have made discoveries at Point Thomson (gas, liquid condensate, and oil), and Sourdough (oil). Oil has also been discovered offshore the 1002 area, with the Kuvlum well in 1993 and "Hammerhead" (where Shell is exploring) in 1985.
Geologists in the division did further analysis, predicting that most of the accumulations that might be discovered would be in the 32 million-barrel range to 256-million-barrel range, but accumulations of 1 billion barrels were also possible.
Based on that analysis, the Department of Revenue developed possible production and oil royalty and tax estimates. Ken Alper, director of the Tax Division, presented the conclusions, assisted by Dan Stickel, assistant chief economist.
The scenario presented by Alper and Stickel would have permission granted by Congress to explore in 2016 and leases issues between 2017 and 2019. Exploration would begin in 2019, with the first field located in 2022, and with its development beginning that same year.
First production would be in 2026. From that point on, the scenario foresees one new field discovered and brought into production every two years so that there would be 25 fields in total developed by 2074. The assumed size of discoveries vary along the lines of the estimates by the Division of Oil and Gas but most of the new fields would be between 64 million barrels and 512 million barrels of recoverable resources.
All prices and costs in the modeling assumed 2015 constant dollars and an oil price of $110 per barrel along the lines of the Revenue Department's very long-range price forecast (a $90 per barrel case was also considered, however).
The modeling assumes no gas being developed, although surely there would be gas discovered also.
Given these assumptions in the modeling, a "base case" of 7.1 billion barrels of oil developed and produced until 2075 would bring $150.9 billion to the state treasury, although the number could be higher, or lower, depending on the amount of oil found.
The production profile in the base case was about 560,000 barrels per day, with a high case, with more oil discovered, of 760,000 barrels per day and a low case, with less oil discovered, or 350,000 barrels per day.
The required investment by industry would reach $5.75 billion per year in the development, pre-production phase, with continuing investment all through the operating lives of the fields.
Because of tax credits in the current state production tax the state treasury would not begin to experience income net of the tax credits until 2030 or 2031, but revenues would then increase rapidly to a peak of about $4.9 billion per year in 2045.
Revenues would the taper off gradually, but even by 2075, the end of the period modeled, there would still be $3.3 billion per year net to the state treasury.

This week the latest Front Porch Kit arrived on my front porch. :)
I've missed those these past few months....how fun to drive home and find that wonderful brown 12x12 box waiting for me on Wednesday!
SO ready and excited to get going with this one...it's a BEAUTIFUL kit.
I had no trouble coming up with projects to do...in fact, I might have to scale back a little. ;)
We left-brained, crafty-types sometimes set unrealistic expectations, don't we? However, this time I'm hoping that my old organized, right-brained self will shine through this time, at least in the staying-on-task department. Otherwise she needs to leave me alone. ;)
A couple weeks ago I had the fun job of making Fancy Nancy party invitations for one of my very favorite little girls. Miss Mia-Kate is 6 now...her mama and I have been friends since middle school, and I seriously love those girls (MK has 2 sisters) like they're mine. :) Determined that at least one of them will end up falling in love with and marrying a Hatcher boy. *sigh*
Her mama and I would make the most fun moms-in-law and grandma pair EVER.
But, I'm getting off task. Shocking. ;)
New Front Porch Kit sneaks coming this weekend.
Check back soon!

Although my due date is in March, I'm about 80% done with the things I need to prepare to welcome this baby. This is in terms of the things I want/ need to buy.
Other things that we already own are still in the state I used to live. So, once my husbands bring them back here, we will be ready.
My husband was supposed to bring them last week, but the only thing he brought back was the stupid playgym.
Me: You bawa ni je? Mana katil?
Husband: Katil pun nak juga ke? I ingatkan you nak ini je.
Me: Benda ni murah, dahlah mainan dia banyak dah hilang. Baik beli baru. Ni dah lunyai!
I tried not to lose my temper. I should have just thrown away the playgym. People give playgyms as gifts, I will receive one after I deliver. If I don't, I will buy one. We don't need a playgym for a newborn!
He came back without telling me, that's why I didn't give him the list.
Me: So, you balik bawa kereta ni sia-sia je lah.
Him: Ala, nanti I datang lagi.
Me: Kenapa you balik tak bagitau?
Him: Saja, nak surprise. I tak plan nak drive sebenarnya. I ingatkan nak naik flight. Tapi bila I keluarkan kereta nak pergi airport, I terus drive sampai sini.
He does this often. Memanglah best bila di surprise, but I already reminded him for so many times to tell me if he ever comes back with a car, because I need him to bring me things!
That night, he brought us to dinner. Before we arrived at the restaurant, he stopped for petrol.
Me: Aik, kenapa pakai Petron? (He usually uses Shell)
Him: Saja...I nak try minyak Blaze 100.
Me: Haa?
Him: Macam V-Power...RON 97...Tapi ni 100, paling latest punya. Haaa...Cuba you rasa, sedap kan?
Then it hit me- he came with the car secara spontan ni sebab nak try minyak! I know him, he would totally do something like this!
Because I'm pregnant and hormonal, I was hurt. My husband ni tak fikir ke pasal anak. There are so many things he could have brought back: the playpen, the baby mattress, the pillow set, the Fisher Price bouncer, the box where I put all my unused pantang items and my bengkung, the baby bathtub. Itu belum masuk kalau I minta he brings the loose, small items lagi, the baju, the mittens, the swaddles, all kept nicely in the baby drawer.
Geram gila I.
Even though he said he could bring them next time, I know it will be very tight. He will go abroad for 2 weeks soon. And he certainly could not come the week before that because he needs to attend a course. So, this weekend? Well, he will still be here! The week after he comes back? What if I already deliver at that time! How can I be at peace waiting for my delivery when I don't even know where my baby would be sleeping. Plus, kena buat laundry semua!
That's why lah I prepare early, because I don't want to mengangkut barang seorang diri.
I stress okay! So, now, I am on a strike, I don't care, I'm going silent sebab I memang tak puas hati. He doesn't even get what my concerns are, I pun malas nak explain, sebab nanti he would say that I nag too much. Tapi, my husband tu kan memang blur. Sampaikan when he talks to me, I have to tell him, "I don't want to talk to you." Kalau I diam je, memang dia takkan tak tahu pasal this cold war. Now that I already declare that I refuse to talk to him, I hope he makes up to me big time!
Eeee...I am mad at myself too because I don't know why I need to find the best bargain for something I really want. Tengoklah my husband tu, he spends so much, why must I kena fikir tentang pembaziran.
Haaa, nak senang, beli je semua set baru. Let us have double of everything. You don't want to bring them over, just buy me new ones! He would be happy to do it sebab tak menyusahkan dia, but I will end up rasa semak je...Like, why do I need two of this?
I spend so much time hunting for the best price, using vouchers that would give me the lowest value, I downloaded so many apps so that I can compare the prices. You think it's easy?
It is all worth it when your research becomes fruitful. For example, I got this new Clevamama 10 in 1 nursing pillow for RM250 only. The price from Mothercare is RM370. Asked a personal shopper in UK, she also quoted RM370. Online, it is roughly RM320. Found the cheapest at RM280, and negotiated for RM250. So happy! The seller said okay in the spirit of CNY katanya...First time I negotiate macam ni and buat COD- sebab takut kena tipu, why so cheap...
But, it is becoming exhausting. After some time, you will get used to the high price, in the end, you rasa macam, "Oohh...It's not that expensive...Beli je lah! Malas nak fikir..."
That's what happened to me. I ada terbeli this swaddle for RM200. Like, what the hell, one single swaddle for RM200! Special sangat ke? I was tempted by, "It gives you 2 hours extra sleep." My sleep is precious. Plus, I tell myself not to berkira dengan anak.
I'm so scared my daughter ni suka nangis and susah nak tidur. Because that's what I do in this pregnancy. Asyik menangis je, and having difficulties to fall asleep. Haishhh...

This was a relatively short lesson....a lot of talk, not a lot of crafts.
1. Gorilla Facts
I printed off some basic facts and went over them
2. Sign Language
We discussed the concept of sign language and learned a few signs. Some of the children knew some, so they shared their knowledge also.
3. Endangered species
We learned about this in our previous lesson, so it was a good reminder
4. How humans affect mountain gorillas
Poaching and Environmental Encroaching
5. Read Koko's Kitten
6. Draft a letter or draw a picture for Koko.
Originally I was going to have the children draft a letter each, and then time providing, type them into email for Koko. When the actual lesson came, I had less help than needed to transcript for all the non-writers, so I added in drawing, and just decided to mail the whole packet.
Koko.org has a Kids Club...info for teachers and how to contact Koko.
Make a Rain Stick
(this seems like it has been my fallback activity a couple of times now! Maybe one day we'll get to it.)

There are few things in life that get me as excited as fresh peaches from the farmers' market. If that isn't the epitome of summer, I'm not sure what is! Maybe it's the fact that you can smell the sweet scent as you approach the box of peaches, or that the color of the peach never fails to be anything but a bright, vibrant shade of orange-yellow. And don't even get me STARTED on the flavor and texture: soft with a bit of a bite, sweet, juicy, and hardly sour.
When talking about breakfast, plain slices of peach are nice, but won't cut it. For me, the first meal of the day needs to be filled with the following: protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and fat. Good taste and textures are a definite plus. Can't be starting off the day with a mediocre meal! How do you incorporate peaches into an epic breakfast? Blueberry Peach Breakfast Crisp.
Berries and peaches go together like two peas in a pod, and I love the way baked blueberries balance out soft textures from the peach. You may find that the peaches become pretty soft after spending time in the oven. However, some of the blueberries will be intact after baking! Sweet bursts of blueberry-ness will accompany your bite of peach, and crunch from the granola and nuts just brings it all back to the party in your cast iron skillet.
See what I did there? Smooth (-ish?) segue into the REAL star of the crisp: Blissful Eats Maple Nut Crunch Granola. If combing maple flavors with peaches is wrong, I don't want to be right. As opposed to soft textures in a cobbler, this crisp stays just that: CRISP. Blended with coconut oil and a bit of coconut sugar, it's the perfect topping to your medley of baked fruit. So, grab the nearest cast iron skillet, get your hands on some bluebs and peaches, and get crispin'!Blueberry Peach Breakfast Crisp: #glutenfree and delicious! Click To Tweet
Blueberry Peach Breakfast Crisp
Serves 4-6
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups peaches, roughly chopped
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons almond flour, separated into two parts
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 2 cups Blissful Eats Maple Nut Crunch Granola
- (optional: add an additional 1 cup rolled oats for non-Paleo version)
- ¼ cup coconut oil, softened
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine blueberries, peaches, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons almond flour, and coconut sugar. Mix with a wooden spoon to evenly coat.
In a separate bowl, combine Blissful Eats granola and coconut oil (optional: add rolled oats). Combine well.
In an 8-inch cast iron skillet, layer fruit mixture evenly on bottom. Using hands, sprinkle granola mixture over top of the fruit mixture, covering as much of the fruit as possible.
Bake in preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, or until fruit is bubbly. Remove from heat. Allow crisp to cool slightly before serving.
Crisp can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Are you a fan of farmer's markets? We love them! Fresh produce, yummy food samples, beautiful crafts and flowers, and best of all…sweet doggies everywhere! What is it about a farmer's market that makes people decide to bring their dogs along? I have no idea, but I love friendly pups, so I'm all for it! I also can't seem to come home without freshly baked bread and authentic tamales, along with a paper bag or two of kettle corn.
Here's a picture of Mr. Hellraiser and three of our kiddos at the Parker Farmer's Market earlier this summer. I'm not sure where the other kid is – probably snagging a morsel of the freshly cured bacon that was drawing us in all the way from the car.
Denver folks, we have SO many wonderful farmer's markets to check out all summer long. Here's a handy map that shows where they are!

Kuwait Airways announced Thursday that it will equip its new planes with modern medical services, including connecting the plane with a medical system that enables the pilot to follow the health condition of any ill passenger with a medical center in Phoenix, Arizona. The new system follows the patient's condition and determines his/her treatment possibilities and procedures, Tareq Hamada, deputy manager for engineering service at KAC, stated to KUNA on the sidelines of the 4th Bahrain International Air Show 2016.
Through a linking device that examines the patient's blood pressure, sugar and heart, a physician will decide whether the situation requires onboard treatment or an urgent landing to save the patient, Hamada added. He said KAC has also equipped the new planes with advanced medical beds for ill passengers that can be installed without needing to remove the plane's seats, adding that the beds are also automated and can be directed and moved in different angles that are appropriate for each patient.

This article is from 2008.
Refining a lost art of the commonplace
Less is definitely more with this Irish comic. Although he's playing to a packed house, Jimeoin eschews the customary mic-stand and bellowing delivery and instead wears a discreet ear-piece, talks softly, mumbles quite a bit and relies on facial expressions to put his act across. That said, he also periodically dropkicks Maltesers into his mouth. Neither is his material what you'd call cutting edge, although his observations about human thought processes and the body language of guilt, shame, hope and other emotional states are original and insightful.
But who cares if the material is commonplace when the substance of Jimeoin's constantly amusing, often hilarious show is less about what he says and more about what he doesn't say between his lines? Stretching out a skit about when it's appropriate to raise and lower one's eyebrows for many long, funny minutes is no small achievement. Here's a Fringe veteran who has truly refined his art.

UN to call for 'pre-emptive' ban on soulless robot bomber assassins

The report as I saw seemed to be referring to re-usable robot craft capable of many missions and capable of selecting their own target rather than a specific assigned target.
I may have misunderstood but I think the UN may be referring to re-usable craft rather than fire once.

UK polling stations turn away 'hundreds' of voters
Why they don't use on-line voting (probably)
Apparently ine of the key parts of the voting system (according to reports I have read) is that the vote is supposed to be secret. This was because in the old days prospective MPs used to pay people to vote for them, if they could ID the voter they new who pay. With on-line voting you would pretty much HAVE to Id yourself in order to avoid repeat voting or automated voting fraud or politicians buying votes directly (and probably claiming the money back on expenses).
Personally I would hav eno problem with people knowing my vote or on-line voting but the fraud side needs to be dealt with first.

Reviews and ratings of best skin care products - eye creams, wrinkle creams, eye serum
to search about care of the skin before an operation
http://ae780dn6y8nepregmgnmgveu9k.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=SPECIAL CARE
Immediately before operating they will scrub your skin with a cleanser that will kill the bacteria and it is very harsh. In the meantime try something for your skin every day. It is always important to take care of your skin.
Try the Mary Kay skin care line with customized skin care products for acne etc. The best thing to with your skin is always to keep it clean as well as treating breakouts. This helps prevent breakouts and other issues.
There are five steps to basic skin care:
1. Cleanse
2. Exfoliate
3. Tone/Freshen
4. Moisturize
5. Protect
The Mary Kay 3 in 1 cleanser can do the first three steps in one. The fifth step is protect. You want to use an oil free foundation which our formulas for dry normal combo and oily skin are all oil free. When your skin is protected with foundation you can wash off the impurities that your skin catches in the air. The foundation catches the irritants and impurities instead of them getting into your pores causing further breakouts. Mary Kay is satisfaction guaranteed. So if you try it and it doesnt work for you you can get different products or your money back.
Also it is so important that when you are using skin care you use one line be it Mary Kay or Avon or a Walmart brand. They are formulated to work with one another. Mixing products not designed to work together can cause reactions in some people.
To even out skin tone you of course need to keep your skin exfoliated but also use a solution like our day and night solution. The day solution has SPF 25 in it and the Night Solution has Vitamin A and E and more in them. These collagen inducing products help to tighten and firm the skin as well as even out tone. You can add in our Microdermabrasion once or twice a week to totally exfoliate and remove dead skin. The second step of our microderm set will return your skin to its proper PH balance so you will not be rough or dry afterwards.
I reccomend using products as follows but all skin care must be customized for an individual.
Timewise 3 in 1 Cleanser (customized for skin type)
Timewise Day Solution (at night use Night Solution)
Timewise Moisturizer (customized for skin type)
Timewise Firming Eye cream
Additional moisturizers if needed(intense for dry spots etc)
Foundation (customized for skin type and shade)
Color products (use all oil free and non-comedogenic)
Hope this was helpful!!

My sister is always better than me
By Ask Alex
Dear Alex,
Help! When I think of my older sister, I feel inferior, especially since my mother talks about her all the time and compares me to her. I cry about this. She has always been an A+ student. She now works for a famous firm since graduating from the University of Hong Kong. I get excellent academic results but am not as smart as her. She also scolds me when I ask for help with maths and may order me to do something for her, such as fetch her a drink, in exchange. My parents just love my sister more. When we argue, they think she's right and I am wrong. I'm also their daughter. I deserve trust and love. I lack confidence even though I get very good results and teachers praise me. Having such a successful sister places tremendous pressure on me. I can't win - I am not her!
Sad sibling
Dear Sad sibling,
It is so difficult having a sibling who shines academically, because without really meaning to, people often shower extra love and attention on high achievers. Their success is like a mirror - parents see the achievement as a reflection of their own worth and success in parenting.
You are strong academically and teachers confirm this. You are also willing to ask for help to improve your maths grades - it is not your fault that your sister behaves negatively when you do this.
How can you handle this complex situation without hurting your family or yourself? Here are a few tips:
- Acknowledge your sister's success and tell her that you're proud of her. She is your sister, after all, and recent studies show that having a smart older sibling actually encourages younger siblings to work harder and do better in life.
- Be honest with your parents: tell them that you work hard, are grateful for giving you a safe home and good schooling, and will keep doing your best.
- Think about your own special talents - not just academic ones. You may be an excellent friend, which will benefit your career later on, as you will have solid interpersonal relationships with co-workers; or you may be athletic, which makes you a well-balanced and healthy person.
There is more to life than getting good grades. Yes, they help in our competitive society, but there are millions of smart people in the world who are depressed, lonely and unhappy.
Keep working hard, be a kind and active member of your family and try to remember that your sister may be short-tempered or annoyed with you simply because she is under a lot of pressure - a common problem for high achievers.

Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday asked the Government Accountability Office to review federal research and regulations on cell phone safety after a panel of international scientists warned that wireless devices may be carcinogenic.
Reps. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) said that nearly a decade as passed since the federal government's last comprehensive report on cell phone safety. That report was used for device radiation standards at the Federal Communications Commission and for studies at the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration.
On Tuesday, the World Health Organization concluded that radio frequencies from cell phones could be carcinogenic, like talcum powder, based on findings of higher rates of glioma, a malignant brain tumor, among heavy users.
"The announcement ... makes clear that additional research is needed to fully understand the long-term impact of mobile phone use on the human body, particularly in children, whose brains and nervous systems are still developing," Markey said.
Specifically, the lawmakers asked GAO to review the status of research on health risks related to long-term cellphone use.
They also want a review of the FCC's guidelines on cell phone safety and the basis for recommendations in user manuals for the iPhone and other major devices that instruct users to hold their phones away from their bodies when making calls.
The Nokia 1100, for instance, warns that the phone meets radio-frequency guidelines only when it is held at least 1.5 centimeters from the body. Motorola recommends keeping the antenna of a device at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from the body. BlackBerry warns that one of its devices "SHOULD NOT be worn or carried on the body" without a BlackBerry-approved belt clip.

TD Asset Management offers investment management services to pension plan sponsors, organizations and individuals, according to its company website. The company provides integrated financial solutions to meet the client's needs. The company provides assistance with investments, risk management, governance and compliance.
The Toronto-Dominion Bank operates TD Asset Management as a subsidiary, reports Bloomberg Business. It founded the Toronto-based firm in 1987. As of 2015, TD Asset Management invests in public equity and fixed income markets on a global basis.
TD Asset Management provides segregated management for its clients' accounts, indicates the company website.

It was one of those weekends where most people would see the weather and decide to stay in for vegemite on toast. Not me… I dragged Andy and George out in the storm for the purpose of yet another breakfast review. I think it paid off nicely with our visit to a little Subiaco cafe called Stimulatte.
There's only a few tables inside, including a breakfast bar facing Hay street. There are also plenty of tables outside that are undercover. If the weather wasn't so awful I would have sat outside – nothing like a spot of breakfast with a side of people watching!
They take their coffee seriously here. The Subi business crowd won't stand for bad coffee! They use a Five Senses blend as their house coffee as well as Micrology single origins. There's also a selection of healthy smoothies and juices such as the bullet smoothie – coffee, cacao, coconut oil and cayenne pepper. If that doesn't ram open the eyelids, then I don't know what will!
The seasonal menu leans vegan with some interesting dishes such as the king oyster mushroom "fried chicken" ($19.50) – yep mushrooms made to taste like delicious fried chook; or the very popular raspberry pancake with chocolate mousse, peanut praline and lemon balm. Omnivores needn't worry. There's eggs, bacon and REAL fried chicken on the menu too. Prices peak at $21.50 for either the Big Stim – eggs, bacon, Boston style navy beans, mushrooms, salsa verde and sourdough or the Big Vegan – mushrooms, salsa verde, heirloom tomatoes, avocado, lemon & herbs, greens, sesame and sourdough.
A wintery morning calls for porridge! Here you'll get polenta porridge ($16) served with poached blueberries, acai, orange, meringue and lemon balm. The dollops of shiny acai and soft blueberries were great for stirring through. The segments of orange and lemon balm added tang.
This dish is a big tick for vegans. "What about the meringue?" I hear you say. It's made from aquafaba. This is the thick water legumes have been cooked in. It behaves like egg whites and when sugar is added, it can be beaten into a meringue. It was crunchy and sweet; a great addition to this huge bowl of porridge.
Andy ordered the Boston style navy beans ($16). These were cooked in Micrology coffee, mixed with candied bacon and topped with a poached egg. There's a vegan version too. Replace the bacon with candied mushroom and the egg with almond feta. The white navy beans had a sweet smokey flavour thanks to the candied bacon. There wasn't a distinct coffee flavour but they were rich. A runny yolk from the poached egg was perfect for mixing through. This is a breakfast that will easily see you past lunch.
Stimulatte has recently started opening on Sundays – that means even more time to check out this Subi gem!

To me there is nothing better than spending a few relaxing minutes indulging in homemade beauty remedies. Sitting on the couch, gook on your face, good movie on TV —Ahhhhh, perfect lazy day! So today I'm bringing you a plethora of face masks; one for each of your aliments. Whether your skins feeling a little dull, dry or oily, I have the mask for you. All masks use easy to find, cheap ingredients that you probably already have in your cupboards. So if you have a couple minutes--- give yourself a present: tighter skin, smaller pores, or softer skin!
Tighten Pores with Egg Whites
De-puff Eyes with Avocado
Decrease Oily-Skin with Avocado and Lemon
Cool skin and get rid of redness with Cucumber and Avocado
Exfoliate with PineappleSay Goodbye to Dry Skin with Strawberries
An egg white face mask is a wonderful way to tighten your pores and give your face a temporary lift. (It can be a little smelly) It is an easy, inexpensive way to help you feel as though you've been treated at a spa.
Using your fingers or a makeup brush, gently rub the egg white over your face and let it dry for about 15 minutes. (It will start feel very tight as it dries)
After 15 minutes rinse the face mask off with warm water.
Follow up with a quick wash and liberally apply lotion with SPF
De-puff Eyes with Avocado
Most mornings I suffer the dreaded Puffy Eye! However, this little Paleo trick will make that a thing of the past! The oil from the avocado will moisturize the delicate skin under your eyes, while the cold compress will help reduce the swelling. Nice, simple, and you'll love the results!
Slice a peeled avocado half into quarter-inch crescent-shapes.
Lie down with a slice under each eye
Apply a cold washcloth over the avocados and your eyes
Close your eyes and rest for 15- 20 minutes.
Wash off by pressing the cloth to your face.
Decrease Oily-Skin with Avocado and Lemon
The acidity in the lemon juice will help to soak up excess oils (it also cleanses and tightens skin, and lightens dark spots, just squeeze some juice onto a cotton ball), while the he Vitamins (A, D and E), potassium, sulfur, and chlorophyll in the avocado will help clarify, purify and moisturize the face
In a small bowl, mash and combine: 1/2 COLD (leave avocado in the refrigerator for an hour) avocado, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 egg white
Apply evenly to a clean face
Leave for 20 minutes
Rinse with warm water and a cloth
Follow with an astringent, if you like
Cool skin and get rid of redness with Cucumber and Avocado
If your skin is red and blotchy, then cucumber is your answer! Cucumbers help in soothing and softening your skin (due to their incredible hydrating capabilities). They also have cooling effects, as well as a cleansing property that help to make your skin soft and supple. To combat redness this mask is just the ticket!
Combine 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, 1/2 cup chopped avocado, 1 egg white, and 2 teaspoons powdered milk in a blender and process until a smooth paste like consistency is obtained.
Refrigerate the mask and apply after 30 minutes
Apply, in circular upward motions, about 2 tbsp of the mixture on your face and neck.
Relax with the mask on for 30 minutes or until it dries up
To remove, wash your face and neck with warm water followed by cold water
Pat dry with a clean soft towel.
Exfoliate with Pineapple
This exfoliating pineapple facial mask is perfect for all skin types. Pineapple contains a natural enzyme that works as an astringent (anti inflammatory, refining, and toning) and exfoliator, helping to cleanse the outer layer of the skin. The olive oil helps to moisturize and soothe the skin.
Using a blender, blend 4 large pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup canned and drained pineapple, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil until the mix is smooth
Apply on the face and leave on for 15 minutes
Rinse well and pat dry.
Say good bye to Dry Skin with Strawberries
Dry skin is more prone to wrinkles than any other, so it needs to be treated well. For this problem, a strawberry and clay mask is the best choice you can make. Strawberries' juice and seeds gently exfoliate the skin while honey and clay purifies it.Crush the some juicy strawberries in a small bowl
Slowly add ½ Tsp of raw organic honey continuing to stir
Next add the clay, stirring constantly until it becomes a homogenous mixture
Place the mask on your face and leave it there for 15- 20 minutes.
Wash your face with cold water
Enjoy! What are your favorite paleo beauty mask recipes?
