The UPD and Salt Lake Area Gang Project provide several resources for fighting graffiti. Keep in mind the 3 Rs: Report, Remove, Re-group.
Report graffiti to the UPD using via email, phone, or our online form.
The UPD can provide you with free graffiti removal supplies and can even assign an officer for protection during removal.
Most graffiti perpetrators tire easily if graffiti is removed quickly (ideally within 24 hours). By organizing a neighborhood group, you can respond quickly to remove new graffiti and discourage further incidents. Read our tips for fighting graffiti and organizing a successful neighborhood group. You can also read the Salt Lake County Graffiti Ordinance (search for "graffiti")
Organizing a neighborhood group is one of the most effective ways to fight graffiti. Perpetrators quickly tire when they see that their efforts are removed and will go elsewhere.
Here are some tips for organizing a neighborhood group:
It has been called the "Newspaper of the Streets." What exactly do those cryptic, seemingly unintelligible scribbles mean? Graffiti can be divided into two types: graffiti done by taggers and graffiti done by street gangs.
Even though taggers and street gangs both use graffiti as an illegal form of communication, their intent is different. Taggers see graffiti as an art form, a game, or a friendly contest. Street gangs use graffiti to mark areas they frequent and to issue threats to their enemies.
Taggers are generally less violent than traditional street gangs. Tagger graffiti differs from street gang graffiti in that it is generally more intricate and more "artistic" than the graffiti a street gang would do. The lettering may be entwined and turned upside down or sideways to the point of looking more like a maze than letters.
The graffiti that they paint on walls usually is done in several colors and might include caricatures of animals or humans. Taggers would call this type of graffiti a "piece," presumably short for "masterpiece." This kind of piece is usually designed ahead of time, and may have been sketched out in a notebook beforehand.
Underground magazines and newsletters publish tagger pieces. A world-wide network exists to keep taggers in touch with each other. Many taggers believe what they are doing is street art and is not a crime.
Another activity taggers are involved in is "tagging," putting their moniker or "tag," in as many places as they can. Taggers engage in contests with other groups, trying to outdo each other in terms of the number of "tags" put up, the difficulty of the artwork, or the difficulty of the location of the tag.
Taggers gain visible recognition from their writing on walls. The more visible a wall is, the more desirable it is to taggers. Freeway overpass signs, water towers, and billboards can quickly build a tagger's reputation. They call it "tagging the heavens."
One method that taggers have used to tag multiple-story buildings is to tie ropes to the wheels of skateboards and have friends lower the tagger down the side of the building. To tag freeway overpasses, they have their friends hold them upside down by their feet.
Taggers will sometimes use sticky-backed labels (like the name tags that are often handed out at training seminars). The tagger will write his moniker on 10 to 20 labels and then as he walks through an area he'll just peel off the backing and put the label on any surface he passes. Some typical tagger monikers are "Nope," "Dime," "Bug," "Smok," "Toke," and "Rek."
Parents who believe that their child is involved in tagging should look for spray paint cans, a collection of aerosol spray tips, wide-tip markers, glass etching tools, surgical gloves, name tag stickers, and photographs or self-made videos of graffiti. Sketches of graffiti, practice sheets containing a moniker, or school notebooks with doodles that resemble graffiti may indicate tagging activity. Paint or marker dye on the hands or extra-large, hooded coats with large cargo-type pockets often indicate an involvement in tagging.
Street gang members put up graffiti to increase their visibility, threaten rivals, and to intimidate residents in the area. It is usually much more primitive and sometimes more easily read than graffiti done by taggers. Gang graffiti may show alliances between gangs, mark the scene of a crime, or commemorate the death of a beloved "homie" (with slogans such as "In memory of ......" or "RIP ......").
It usually includes the gang name and possibly a list of the monikers of several members in the gang or perhaps a threat aimed at a rival group (with slogans such as "187 ....." or "CK" or "BK").One area had graffiti that included "187" as a header, and beneath it a list of all of the rival gang names. Monikers that are typical in street gangs are "Smiley," "Flaco," "Scrappy," "Payaso," "Goofy," "P dog," or "T-Locc." Telephone area code prefixes are sometimes included, and, although Utah's "801" code is used, codes from California seem to be very popular and "213," "310," and "714" are often seen.
Street gang graffiti may be done in old English-style letters, balloon (or block) letters, or simple, single-stroke letters. Many of the Hispanic gangs will include Spanish phrases such as "Loco" (Crazy), or "Rifa" ("We control") or "Rifamos" ("We are best"). Cross-outs of individual letters or of rival gang names are common. Individual letters are crossed-out when that letter is in a rival gang's name. For example, a Blood set may cross out all the Cs in any graffiti they put up.
Street gang graffiti may contain derogatory references toward rival gangs. Blood sets may refer to Crip sets as "Crabs" and Crip sets may use "Slobs" in their graffiti as an insult to Blood sets. Gang graffiti that includes "187" indicates a threat to kill. "187" is the California penal code for homicide, and, used in street graffiti, tells rival gangs that those who painted the graffiti intend to kill them.
The number "13" is used often in street graffiti, mostly among Hispanic gangs. The "13" may be represented as "XIII," "X3," "13," or with the word "trece." There are various explanations for the use of the number "13." The thirteenth letter of the alphabet is "M" and one explanation says that "M" refers to the Mexican Mafia; another says it stands for Mexico, the homeland; and another says that it refers to a street in Mexico that starts with the letter "M"--the street where the first gang was started.
Other gang names often seen in gang graffiti are "D St," for Diamond Street; "TCG," pitchfor Tongan Crip Gangsters; "sXe," for Straight Edge; "G-13," for Gardenia 13; "QVO;" "VLT," for Varrio Loco Town; "Sur 13" or "Sur 38," for Surenos 13 or Surenos 38; and "21," for 21st Street. "WS," for Westside or "NS," for Northside are also common. Street gang graffiti that includes crude pictures of crescent moons, stars, rabbit ears, pitchforks, crowns, or dice indicate Folk or People gangs.
ALWAYS paint over graffiti immediately or call an agency which will paint it free for you. Research done in California shows that areas that are immediately painted over are much less likely to be "hit" again. Graffiti that is left up becomes a status symbol. Many communities have "adopt-a-wall" programs or programs that encourage volunteers to assist in cleaning off or painting over graffiti. Graffiti hot lines, for reporting graffiti, are available in many areas.
NEVER confront or challenge someone who is tagging a wall. Street gang members are very often armed and may assault a challenger even if they are not. Remember, even taggers may be armed. If possible, obtain an accurate description of the individuals, graffiti, vehicle, and license plate number. video tapes of graffiti activities are also useful. All information should be passed on to your local law enforcement agency to investigate.

The pooja ki rasam takes place smoothly at the Harak house, thanks to Surbhi coming to rescue Harman at the last minute from the crisis. But both Harman and Surbhi are disappointed about the fact that they haven't yet been able to find Saumya. On the other hand Saumya misses Harman deeply as she does the Navmi Pooja with the other Kinners at the mandir.
Harman's source (the old couple), gets to know about this pooja, make sure that news reaches Harman. Both Harman and Surbhi are elated to hear this news and see a light of hope. However, the two decide not to disclose this as they feel the family keeps plotting against their plans. Surbhi decides to seek outside help so that they can reach Saumya.
How will Surbhi execute this task? Will she and Harman be able to meet Saumya or will the plotting of the Kinnar's to send Saumya away reach fruition? The battle of chase continues on Shakti. Keep watching from Monday to Friday at 8PM!

Entry Rationale
Body motion sends V through the roof
Since 1997, V has developed a strong #1 position in the New Zealand energy drinks market, with over 50% share. Recently though, this market has transformed significantly with hungry, disruptive competitors looking to attack V every step of the way.
But simply defending its market leader position is not V's style. Alongside more traditional sales growth and positive brand measures, they looked to actively chase consumer engagement, which is a hard ask for an FMCG brand.
V's target audience are fickle 18–24 year olds – hard to impress, into music and very tech-savvy. Engaging with this group year-on-year is an enormous challenge. This meant delivering a project that spoke to some of the core interests of their audience – music and technology. And it had to be impressive.
In April 2012, V began one of the most innovative technology projects on the planet. A team of technology developers, audio engineers, visual artists, dancers, musicians and New Zealand music producer Joel Little was assembled and given a challenge: to create a piece of music using the body's movement. This was The V Motion Project – a demonstration of the functional benefit of the product: V gives you the energy to do extraordinary things.
Focusing on driving consumer engagement, 8 webisodes were released over a period of 16 weeks documenting the team's journey towards their objective. This not only gave the public and media a behind-the-scenes look, but also drove sustained engagement, talkability and anticipation.
On 16 June, The V Motion Project went live with an unannounced live performance and showcase of the technology in downtown Auckland. The event was covered on national TV, talked about on radio, witnessed by hundreds of spectators and uploaded from mobile phones to social channels and blogs around the world.
The experience was recorded and the content used in TVCs, digital banners, Facebook ads, video pre-rolls, additional webisodes and finally in a full-length music video. Across all media, the call to action was to follow the journey on the V website.
The results are staggering. Engagement with v.co.nz rose by nearly 1000%, far exceeding expectations. This lift in visitation was sustained over a 4-month period through clever use of staggered content releases to the site showing the progress of tech development and music video production. The project's webisodes, TVCs and music video have reached more than 1.8 million views across YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter and Facebook.
The V Motion Project has received international recognition from many sources, labelling the project "The future of dance music" (The Huffington Post) and an "Amazing installation" (Microsoft).

Reducing the Appearance of Oversized Pores
What makes your pores look especially huge? Dirt, makeup, sebum (oil) and dead skin cells can build up in the little holes, forming plugs that enlarge them. (Besides widening the pores, these clogs can also lead to blackheads, whiteheads and pimples when bacteria are present.) So the key to making pores appear smaller is keeping them as clear as possible. Here's how:
- Keep your face clean. Most importantly, never go to bed with a day's worth of grime and cosmetics coating your skin and settling into your pores. You'll also want to scrub up after workouts, since sweat can carry debris into the pore openings [source: Whitmore]. If your skin tends to be on the greasy side, choose an oil-free foaming cleanser with salicylic acid, which helps dissolve and loosen sebum [source: Taylor].
- Exfoliate regularly. To dislodge blockages and slough off dead skin cells, use an exfoliating scrub or a treatment containing chemical exfoliants such as glycolic or lactic acids [source: Taylor]. Electric face cleansing brushes can also be extremely effective [source: Jones].
- Use a retinoid. Incorporate an over-the-counter retinol product or a prescription retinoid, such as tretinoin, into your skin-care routine. These treatments decrease oil production and accelerate skin cell turnover, helping prevent clogs from forming [source: Baumann].
- Try a clay mask. Clay is thought to absorb oil and water, drawing debris out of the pores. Don't use clay masks too frequently, however, since they can dry and irritate the skin [source: Bailey].
- Consider an in-office treatment. Talk to a dermatologist about professional procedures that can unclog pores, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, light therapy, laser treatments and Isolaz, a procedure that uses a vacuum to loosen dirt and oil from pores and then zaps them with a broadband light to destroy the bacteria [source: Litke].
- Choose the right makeup. Applying primer and foundation can help camouflage enlarged pores, but you don't want to clog them in the process. Look for oil-free and noncomedogenic products, and opt for a matte finish over shimmery powders that reflect light [source: Taylor].

1. First and foremost, travelling can be a nightmare in the city. I hate the unbearable crowd, particularly in the local trains during the peak hours. Not to forget that some co-passengers can be very rude and mean. The traffic-stricken roads don't help either.
2. And if at all you travel by the train in the morning, don't even dare to look out of the window. I keep wondering why anyone does not do anything about it. Mumbai needs more public toilets!
3. Every year it rains and the city floods up. Lives are lost. Roads tear apart.
4. Good and decent looking roads are dug up in the name of a skywalk, a flyover or a metro project. More traffic jams.
5. People litter and spit here, there and everywhere, without a second thought.
6. The ugly looking, badly Photoshop-ed hoardings of political leaders.
7. The noise and the pollution, lack of clean running water.
8. All festivals here are a noisy affair. The crackers, the drumbeats, the blaring music. Even on a religious occasion, the music is that of a "Chikni Chameli" or a "Sheila ki Jawani". For God's sake, they are sleazy item numbers! Where in this, is the devotion?
9. Accidents happen, murders take place in broad daylight. Mostly people refuse to help.
10. Fights break out at every nook and corner and the language used is foul and extremely unpleasant.
And the list can go on and on. Sad state of affairs.
An efficient government, responsible citizens and some combined effort is all we need to make Mumbai a "better home".

Butterfly Basics
The first challenge is this sketch from the Challenge Blog, Case this sketch, which can be found here.
The second challenge is a from the blog ColorQ, which can be found here.
And this is my card - for the first sketch the three words of my sentiment count for the three tags bottom right. I used a scrap paper and embossed the butterfly in white. It is such an effective, decorative stamp.
Thank you for visiting me. Oh yes, these stamps are newly acquired Stampin' Up Stamps called Butterfly Basics. I love them and have always wanted a lace butterfly stamp.
Have a lovely weekend!
I have to share a little testimony. Yesterday I wasn't feeling too good and had some words with my DH, kind of doubting his love for me which is just ridiculous, and I noticed it hurt him. While I was making the meal I thought, Lord you know how much I love my son... just think if he said to me, Mum, I really don't believe that you love me as much as you say you do... it would shatter me. Now, think about how much God loves us! Just think how God must feel, having given everything, everything He had to bring you to Himself and we just say - yeah but I don't believe that you really love me that much.... Doubting the love He has for us - no, it is unthinkable, and still we do it. It gave me a lot to ponder on.

48-hour Game Jam
Students from Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) joined forces with researchers as part of the latest 48-hour Game Jam to help raise awareness of a European research project.
The 'jam', organised by the School of Engineering and Built Environment, saw students from the BSc Computer Games Design programme create digital games and applications from scratch in just two days.
The games focused on the noPILLS research project, which is a long-term project aimed at reducing pharmaceutical micro-pollutants in the water cycle.
The noPILLS team were keen to explore the role of new media, games and apps, initially in the UK, but eventually also in a wider European setting, and plan to translate the most promising applications into other European languages and release them in partner countries.
Dr Romana Ramzan, lecturer and Game Jam organiser, said: "The teams did a fantastic job of tackling such a difficult project and we were delighted with the outcome. The winning team and the two runner up teams will now have the opportunity to pitch their game concepts to the research partners in Zurich at the end of September. It's an incredible opportunity for them and hopefully we'll see these concepts realised into fully fleshed products that can help engage and raise awareness of the noPILLS project".
Dr Ole Pahl, a GCU chemical engineer and principal investigator, said: "We were hoping for ideas that make a complex scientific and environmental issue understandable and accessible."
Previous Game Jams saw participants work to raise the profile of the GCU-supported Gathering the Voices project through the creation of digital educational resources inspired by the experiences of Jewish refugees who fled persecution as children in the 1930s and 1940s to start new lives in Scotland.
These digital applications were then used as part of Gathering the Voices educational packs in a number of Glasgow schools as part of the Curriculum for Excellence.

I taught swimming lessons for years in high school and college so I have a few tips for teaching kids how to float on their back.
For beginners who aren't comfortable in the water:
1. Have them float on their back with their heads resting on your shoulder, like they are sleeping on a pillow. When you have them there, point something out to them up in the air. For example: "Do you see that cloud up there? It looks like a bird" or "How many clouds do you see? Can you count them?" This helps get their mind off being on their back.
For kids who are more comfortable in the water, have them do this while they are on their back:
1. Tell them to put their head back and to push their stomachs up to the sky (so their backs are arched).
2. If their feet are sinking, it helps to have them put their hands above their heads. This changes their center of gravity.
3. If they are doing all of this and still can't float, have them take a big, deep breath and hold it.
Note: Make sure you keep a hand under their back until they get close to mastering the skill. At that point, you can tell them that you're going to move your hand away.
Good luck! I hope some of these tips help you and your kids. They always worked for me.

Much of the recent market data produced on Southeast Asia paints a picture of a rapidly developing digital infrastructure. However, this data does not provide a depth of insight into how people in this region are engaging with this digital infrastructure. It is important to understand the political and cultural contexts in which digital technologies are being adopted and consumed in different parts of the world.
In this blog post, the fifth in a series exploring video on demand around the world, I discuss several of the major influences on technology use in the region and the implications for video on demand in the region.
'Magnificent Jakarta' by Luke Ma on Flickr. Used here under creative commons license.
Smartphone penetration in Southeast Asia is rapidly growing, particularly among the urban youth, according to research by Ericsson. Fuelled by the influx of affordable models from Chinese manufacturers such as ZTE and Huawei, this is providing increasing online access points for people in the region.
Nielsen suggests that this growing number of devices and increased connectivity is leading to changes in consumer behaviour. Media consumption is shifting away from traditional formats and viewing times, as consumers watch more online video, desiring control and choice over what they watch.
This year, Southeast Asia is also seeing that start of its own VOD-rush, with the launch this year of start-up iFlix and the Sony-Singtel joint venture HOOQ, both of which provide access to major US TV and movie content.
Indonesia in particular has received a great deal of attention. It has the world's 13th largest online population, with over 42 million people online. In 2012, Jakarta was billed as the 'world's most active Twitter City'. The online population is still less than 17% of the total country, suggesting to strong area of growth.
'Texting' by nSeika on Flickr. Used here under creative commons license. Cropped from original.
While these statistics point to a rapidly developing digital infrastructure, they do not provide a full picture of how people in the region are adopting and appropriating these technologies. In order to understand audience engagement with online video in Southeast Asia, it is important to appreciate the political and cultural context of their use.
One of the stand out characteristics of Southeast Asia is internet censorship, for which the governments of Vietnam and Indonesia have both come under criticism. Vietnam's Decree 72, prohibiting the discussion and sharing news and current affairs has been criticised by groups such as Reporters Without Borders for censoring independent information. In Indonesia, content controls have been described as inconsistent and lacking transparency and have resulted in numerous cases of over blocking. Last year Vimeo was blocked over allegedly hosting indecent content.
Consequently, both countries have high levels of VPN use (see slide 19), with young people in particular seeking to access blocked sites, particularly social media. This has an impact on DRM for online video services in the region.
Culture and religion also has a major influence on the way technologies become adopted. Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world. Anthropologist Bart Barendregt has written extensively about how technologies and new media have become an integral part of the development of modern Muslim lifestyles and identities in the country.
The initial rise of mobile phones in Indonesia, Barendregt says, coincided with the end of the Suharto regime and the start of a worldwide digital revolution. Technological innovation, in particular the mobile phone, became synonymous with the development of modern Muslim lifestyles which have emerged over the past twenty years (Barendregt, 2008).
Barendregt predicts two scenarios for technological adoption in Muslim communities. On the one hand, as digital platforms are developed to suit the particular needs and tastes of Islamic users. On the other, Islamic practices will be increasingly able to transcend national boundaries (Barendregt, 2012).
A project which sits at the intersection of these two scenarios is the video on demand service Alchemiya, which uses digital technology to give a voice to young modern Muslims around the world. Alchemiya's mission is to provide quality content for an intelligent, cultured and creative Muslim audiences. The multi-platform service aims to present a positive side of Islam, providing access to content reflecting the values and ideals of the Muslim world, and supporting creative producers of Muslim content. Although based in the UK, the product has an international scope which goes beyond national borders.

Ostmodern's Pippa Batey, who worked on the project, talks about some of the visual design decisions:
"We took inspiration from traditional Islamic motifs and combined these with contemporary design trends to create a product which would appeal to a modern Muslim audience. We wanted Alchemiya to feel exciting and new whilst being respectful of cultural heritage. For example, the 'dynamic square' play symbol, which is used throughout the site, was based on the use of geometric shapes in traditional Islamic designs."
Alchemiya provides content for the needs and tastes of its modern Muslim audience, whilst its digital format allows it to transcend national boundaries and reach a global audience. By appealing to the cultural sensibilities of its audience, both in terms of content and design, the product has every chance of succeeding in technologically developing countries such as Indonesia.

This blog post has sought to demonstrate some of the cultural and political contexts which businesses, technologists and product designers must be aware of and provide for when trying to enter different regions around the world.
In territories where censorship is high, attention must be paid to user-led solutions, such as VPN use, to circumvent restrictions, as these will have an impact on the provision online video services in the region.
In a more nuanced way, cultural and religious contexts also affect how technologies are adopted and used, as well as the type of products which resonate with users. In Indonesia, where people are embracing a modern Muslim lifestyle, a product like Alchemiya, which has been created with the same cultural values, has great potential to succeed.

High in the mountains of Sweden, scientists stumbled upon a grove of 8,000-year-old Norway spruces, reports Reuters. What are Norway spruces doing in Sweden? We don't know. The bigger question, how does something live for 8,000 years?
It's not unheard of trees to live thousands of years. California's legendary Methuselah tree is almost 5,000-years-old. And researchers have found trees in Sweden that have been growing for 5,500 years.
The ancient Swedish spruces probably survived as 3-foot-tall shrubs for most of the last 8,000 years. Then, as temperatures rose in recent decades, they sprung up. Coverage of the story at Reuters didn't say how tall the trees are now.

About Me
- pound360
- I started pound360 to channel my obsession with vitamins, running and the five senses. Eventually, I got bored focusing on all that stuff, so I came back from a one month hiatus in May of 2007 (one year after launching Pound360) and broadened my mumblings here to include all science.

We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our Easter Parade and Party! What a lovely day to celebrate the start of Spring.
Toddler Tree teachers did a great job in putting together such fun activities for our students to enjoy. Congratulations to mothers and families who carefully and creatively decorated cars, trikes and bikes for the Parade. They were beautiful and the parade was lovely! Thank you to all of our Party Hosts for providing the snacks for the party, too. We were delighted to see the kids enjoying themselves so much during the Easter Egg Hunt. Altogether, the event was a great success!

I had to buy some stamps at the local US Post Office branch, but I'm sick and tired of flag stamps. I asked the clerk for something neutral and without flags. This has been a perilous request in times past, I recall reading one article about how a publisher of a pro-Palestinian newsletter was interrogated by the Police merely for asking about stamps without US flags. But the clerk knew exactly what I wanted, something that symbolizes the sacrifices people were forced to make under that flag.

Did you know that they don't even give those anymore? Today, if you get a purple heart, it's a lousy purple colored ribbon. I'm sorry, but if someone takes a bullet for their country, the least you can do is give them a little medal for it, not some lousy piece of nylon. Stop spending $12,000 on toilet seats and there's plenty of money for it.

Hi there,
I have come to the conclusion I think many before me have arrived at: I hate shooting at an indoor range.
I have been to the ASC for an IDPA match and really liked it and would like to become a member. I checked out the website and it says they are taking applications for 2019. It also says that you are given priority if sponsored by an existing member.
Anyone on here a member that would like to sponsor me? I am planning on shooting the IDPA match there next week if you want to meet me in person and verify I am not a weirdo :-)

In the 1960's the Mt Maunganui Borough Council acquired an area of land at the corner of Matapihi Road and the railway with the intention to use it for multi sports activities.
However, due to the proximity of the airport it was considered that the area might be more suitable for development as a golf course. In 1969 a then noted golf course designer, Mr H. P. Dale was engaged to prepare a number of plans and layouts.
Late in 1970 the Council advertised the availability of the land and layout plans to any group of golfers prepared to form a club and proceed with construction.
A well attended public meeting was held on 12 May, 1971 and an interim committee was formed. The committee completed negotiations with the Council and construction commenced in earnest in the same month, with the Omanu Golf Club being registered on 9 June, 1971. The name of the club was derived from the presence of numerous elegant herons on and adjacent to the watercourses bisecting the land. 'Omanu' means the 'nesting place' or 'resting place of birds' and, as well as being appropriate for this reason, it was thought to have a nice ring about it and would perpetuate the name of an earlier part of Mount Maunganui
As with many new sporting bodies the club started without any cash or assets. This prompted a debenture issue to be arranged which raised a total of $13,450. Of this $10,000 was obtained from 5 public spirited donors:
Mr & Mrs Parnwell - Parnwells Bakeries, $5,000
Barry Beazley - Beazley Homes, $20,000
S Tricklebank - Bayfair promoter, $2,000
Dominion Breweries Ltd, $1,000
Interestingly enough, none of these people had a direct interest in golf or any intention of playing, so the club was very much indebted to them.
When the decision was made a public tirade of correspondence was launced by the residents of Arataki as they believed the land suggested for the Club had been set aside for children's parks etc. One of the reasons given for a golf club on this area was that should an aircraft get into difficulties upon take-off or landing there would be less lives lost. It appears that golfers are seen to be more expendable than other sports persons.
Due largely to the supervision of Harry Dale and the untiring efforts of a number of volunteers the earthworks and course formation was completed well under budget and in record time. On the 12th of April, 1972 the course was officially opened with 120 members and only 10 holes.. Unfortunately, due to the harsh summers and lack of winter rain the course playing surface suffered as the grass was burnt off leaving the hardy weeds to take over and on one occasion a resowing was required.
1974 saw the purchase of the first Clubhouse; a two storey house owned by the airport which was transported down from the paddocks behind.
In 1975 major course changes were undertaken A small par three into the eastern corner was eliminated and the par 5, 13th introduced.
The Omanu Classic was first held in 1977. The members of the 1992 winning Eisenhower Cup; Philip Tataurangi, David Scarhill, Michael Campbell and Grant Moorhead all played in the Classic with Tataurangi winning in 1992. James Hamilton was the first Omanu member to win on home soil in 2011.
1977 also saw the construction of the new clubrooms begin. This was significantly upgraded in 2003.
The appointment of the first Secretary/ Manager, Mr Owen Jones was made in 1981. Prior to this Presidents and Captains carried out most administration functions as well as running competitions. This was followed by the appointment of the first Club Professional, Mr Alan Snape, who apart from a short break was the Club Pro until his passing in 2009. He was followed byGolf Fit, a team lead by Brent McKay.
Omanu Golf club became one of the first Clubs in New Zealand to adopt the Board structure in 1990, with committees reporting to the Manager and onto the Board.
A famous cabbage tree used to be situated 100m from the green in the centre of the 6th fairway. This was the bane of many approach shots, but in 1992 the tree died in mysterious circumstances. The only record of the tree is a painting done by a member. The painting now hangs in the Bar.
The Club was approached by a developer to build 60 lifestyle units including bowling greens on the 10th fairway in 1993. However, as the Club could not obtain further land to construct another fairway the financial carrot did not stack up and the offer was turned down.
In 1994 full course irrigation was installed which saw the club progress in leaps and bounds to the wonderful facility that we enjoy today. Initially treated waste water was used with Omanu being the first Club to utilise such a scheme. Unfortunately the Council could not continue tio meet the resource consent requirements and bores replaced the treated water in 2005.
New green keeping sheds were erected in 1994. Prior to this course equipment was for many years stored in an old barn lent to the Club by a Famer across Matapihi Rd.
The Driving Range faciity was built in 1996 by local business people with the lease providing a revenue source for the Club.
By 1998 the Airport decided it needed to extend the runway to accomodate larger planes. The consequence to the Club was the development of the Tree Management Plan which has strict criteria on the height of all trees on the course. As a consequence regular pruning, removal and replacement takes place today. The initial cull, however saw the removal of 127 trees.
The 7th gully to the drain was battered in 2000 with financial assitance from the council. Prior to this the sides were near vertical and if a wayward shot went in the drain, the ball was nigh on retrievable.
The 2003 remodelling of the clubhouse cost $700,000 and even after extending the loan a few years, this will be entirely paid for by 2015.
Major floods in 2005 and 2011 enhanced many members opinions that water features would be an added addition to Omanu, however the proximity to the airport and the possibility of bird strike on aircraft has seen the Airport turn down any request.


text: My Google Add-ons formRecycler: (Get it here!) and formCreator: (Get it here!) have been updated and now will preserve required questions. You still cannot recycle Videos since there is no way to get the Video URL via Google Apps Script so I decided to eliminate that option and replace it with required questions in formCreator. Also, I have had a lot of inquiries about data validation for questions and there is also no way to get that information via Google Apps Script so I can't recycle it or set it from the Spreadsheet.

|My Kindle sales for Book Marketing Checklist doubled while making the Challenge
Ok, I hope people are starting to take their book's SNAP SHOT [PREP DAY GOALS]. During the course of building this Challenge I did all of the tasks that I am asking everyone to do. Including taking my book's position in the world. It is kind of depressing. Book Marketing Checklist for Self-Publishing is one of my most successful Kindle books. Most of my book sales come from the print side of Amazon, but this book has done well. But is released over a year ago and is now lagging and not doing much. So my turn also to juice it up.
So here are my numbers for July,
Kindle 5 sales
CreateSpace/Amazon, paperback 0 sales, upp, zero.
Lots of room for improvement
What is interesting is that during the 3 days or so that I was building my videos and trying different things I ended up doubling my Kindle July sales. It works, getting out there and marketing my book helps. I went from 5 to 10, not great but activity works, YEA!!.
You can see all of my Snap Shot in the Workbook Bruce's Sample in the Files area
The other areas that I recorded and want to watch are my social media and blog traffic. Since I have pushed out and shared I have seen people coming over to join the group from Daniel Hall Real Fast groups. Follow Daniel he does great stuff. I also shared the [5 DAY CHALLENGE] with other FB groups. My Twitter numbers are going up, the blog visitors are going up. I posted the video on YouTube, Pinterest, 2 Blogs, all are ways to promote your book. I need to watch them all.
Success in marketing has a lot to do with marketing where you are and then where you want to go. What is working, what isn't and then adjusting. It is a continual process. But the key is taking action.

These backrooms were two rooms in the back of Classroom 3C, used for Defence Against the Dark Arts. They were used by Alastor Moody (Bartemius Crouch Jr in disguise) to teach Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger some extra lessons[1] in how to deal with curses.[3]
The first room was filled with lots of Dugbogs which had to be dealt with using either the Levitation Charm, Avifors Spell, Orbis Jinx or just random jinxes. The room was also filled with giant rocks that one could use to crush the Dugbogs.[1]
The second room was a bit more specific, being filled with many Salamanders that had to be dealt with by using either the Ebublio Jinx, Aqua Eructo Charm or other random jinxes. This room also had bonfire obstacles that needed to be turned off using the Aqua Eructo Charm. The exiting door had a giant bonfire that the Trio had to take down together. The second time they entered this room, Moody had put the Aqua Eructo spellbook inside the room, which the Trio had to pick up. The door used to exit this room lead out to a roof top outside the Hogwarts Castle.[1]

PSNI Craigavon have posted an appeal for information about Misty who was last seen on June 9.
In a Facebook appeal, PSNI Craigavon say: "This is Misty. Her mum has been in touch and is very worried about her. She was last seen on Friday afternoon (9th) at 3.30pm around Carn. Obviously since then she could have travelled a great distance."
The post adds that the little terrier "takes fits, so she needs to come home soon for some TLC".
"Her mum assures us that whilst Misty may be scared, you shouldn't be afraid to lift her as she will not bite," adds the post.

In your first session, Foundation Pilates will analyze your posture and movement patterns and design a custom training program based on your specific needs and goals. During each session, your instructor observes and provides constructive feedback on alignment, breathing, and precision movement. Future sessions are tailored to you, utilizing a mix of services described below to reach your desired goal.
To learn more or to schedule an appointment, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 646-355-8758.
Private Pilates instruction adapts the workout to fulfill the individual needs of the client.
Specifically sequenced exercises focus on strengthening and stretching the body as a whole combining the use of apparatus and mat work.
The specially designed apparatuses are used to target specific muscle groups that are not typically strengthened or stretched with a conventional exercise workout.
Mat exercises rely solely on your own strength – creating a challenging and rewarding experience.
Foundation Pilates customizes a Pilates workout to your needs.
The Pink Ribbon Program
The Pink Ribbon Program is a six-week Pilates-based program for patients to transition from physical/occupational therapy to exercise therapy to regain strength and mobility in the affected shoulder and arm.
Foundation Training
Foundation Training (FT) is a series of exercises based on integrating the muscular chains of the body. Exercises begin with the posterior chain of muscles (neck, back, gluteal, hamstrings and calves) to quickly stabilize your spine and core. Learning to connect the posterior chain will teach you to move naturally, evenly absorbing the weight of your body. Once you begin to move properly you will engage more muscles in every step you take, sport you play, and exercise you choose to do. FT fixes many of the chronic pains plaguing our modern lifestyle.
Clinical Orthopedic Manual Therapy
Clinical Orthopedic Manual Therapy employs advanced stretching and joint mobilization techniques that help remedy common neuromusculoskeletal complaints such as pain, chronic tension, joint restrictions and decreased range of motion.
In combination with Pilates, Clinical Orthopedic Manual Therapy increases flexibility by improving mobility in areas that are restricted in joints, in connective tissue or in skeletal muscles.
Foundation Pilates incorporates Clinical Orthopedic Manual Therapy as needed into your customized plan.
Resistance Flexibility and Strength Training (RFST)
Resistance Flexibility and Strength Training (RFST) is a stretching and strengthening method developed by Bob Cooley focusing on removal of excess fascia and scar tissue while increasing the strength of target muscles. Muscle imbalances and compensation patterns can be corrected by this technique.
Benefits include: Improved performance, increased circulation, better posture, lymphatic drainage, oxygenation of tissues, increased elimination of cellular waste products, corrective realignment of bones, and removal of chronic joint stress.
As part of RFST, trainers use their feet on almost every part of the body along Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) meridians to free up energy flow, assist in removing waste products from muscles, loosen up tight or contracted muscles, remove scar tissue and excess fascia, and remove trigger points.
Foundation Pilates incorporates Resistance Flexibility and Strength Training as needed into your customized plan.
Infrared Sauna
Our SunlightenTM infrared Sauna uses an electromagnetic light, invisible to the eye, which changes to heat energy when it penetrates the skin. Unlike traditional saunas, Infrared Saunas heat you, not the air. It's like sitting in sunlight – you receive all of the benefits with none of the harmful UV. And you get to keep your clothes on.
Infrared saunas have been scientifically proven to speed up metabolism, relieve pain, increase detoxification through sweating, improve your cardiovascular system, strengthen your immune system and improve your skin.
Foundation Pilates incorporates Infrared Sauna as needed into your customized plan.

sensative psycho | Parker, CO | 01/18/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Four years after the successful masterwork "Hounds of Love", "The Sensual World" was finally released on Oct. 17, 1989. It reached #2 on the UK album chart, but left many fans less than impressed.
At the time, Kate Bush felt that it was her most personal and most honest album...which is reflected by most of the lyrics and subject matter. It is not as heavy on the Fairlight CMI as some of her previous records ("The Dreaming", "Hounds of Love"). Once again, Paddy Bush incorporates his foray of exotic and ancient instruments...including whips, the Valiha, the Mandolin, and the Tupan. Most of the tracks on "The Sensual World" have a worldly sound and amazing melody.
The album opens with church bells ringing in the distance, leading into the title track (which was the first single). It is a gorgeous song with a great beat and a heavy Celtic influence, incorporating the Uillean Pipes into the chorus. `Love and Anger' was the third and final single from the album, reaching #38 in the UK and #1 on the US Billboard Modern Rock chart (her only US chart-topper be it album or single). It took Kate Bush over a year and a half to finish, because she wasn't sure where the song was going. David Gilmour plays a strong guitar riff during the chorus. `The Fog' is an almost ethereal experience. The song starts with shared dialogue between Kate and her father. Soaring strings and a solo violin build and intensify as the tune carries. Before it's over, you can hear seagulls in the background. `Reaching Out' was thought up during a walk in the park and finished shortly after. It is a very powerful song with calm piano chords during the verses and a strong, thunderous beat with uplifting strings during the chorus. The weakest song on "The Sensual World" is `Heads Were Dancing'. It is a busy mid-paced song that never goes anywhere. `Deeper Understanding' is another interesting and powerful tune. It shows good use of the Fairlight CMI, and during the chorus, the Trio Bulgarka lend their beautifully haunting vocals. I am in love with the melody of this song. `Between A Man and A Woman' is a mid-tempo song soaked in emotional and instrumental tension. `Never Be Mine' is a great song with some Celtic tones due to the Uillean Pipes, and it is a passionate and yearning song also featuring the Trio Bulgarka. Another song with the Trio, `Rocket's Tail' is A capella midway through, then drums and bass kick off a Rock jam with David Gilmour playing a great guitar solo. The perfect and true closer of the album (on Vinyl format), `This Woman's Work' is an essential Kate Bush song. A simple tune with piano, minimal Fairlight CMI, and strings...it is one of the reasons why human beings produce tears. "The Sensual World" was released in CD format with a bonus track titled `Walk Straight Down the Middle' (a great song), which takes away from the magic of ending the album with `This Woman's Work'. I usually stop the CD beforehand.
"The Sensual World" is a diverse, yet cohesive listen. Underrated by some, but should be loved and respected as a near-perfect treat from Kate Bush. Definitely one of her best!
4 ½ stars!"
I finally "got it"
Melody N. Pilotte | San Francisco | 11/02/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I avoided this album for years. I finally listened to it and I "got" it. What a smooth, sensual and complex album. Sonically amazing, with its bagpipes, American Indian flutes, penny whistles, church bells, electronic washes and spooky lyrics. I really love it. This Woman's Work is one of the best songs ever written. This is a Kate Bush album for people who would be terrified by any of other other stuff. Mature, mellow and something that needs to be listen to as a whole album. Just let yourself absorb this album on a cold autumn night."

After a solid finish in Desert Dash 2013 in spite of a late withdrawal by the injured Jeffrey, Team Topnaar-Gobabeb is motivated and ready for Desert Dash 2014. With a four-man entry in the pocket, the team has been training in earnest and have all passed their first test–Gobabeb's own mountain bike race (the very tough GobaDash) with flying colours.

Congratulation to the Team
A great way for the Team to end May, with a finnish in the NEDBANK Coastal Marathon Race which was held on the 25th of May 2014. The Team was so excited to participate in the Men 34km race which gave Sameul Gowaseb a great finnish in 3rd position(1:34:30 time), followed by Richardt Swartbooi in position 13 (1:40:45time) and Johannes Uirab in position 43 (2:20:25time) as displayed by Rock and Rut site.

Team Topnaar – Gobabeb participation in the Nedbank Classic Race
Gobabeb's intrepid cyclists Samuel /Gowaseb and Richardt Swartbooi of Team Topnaar-Gobabeb participated in the Nedbank Classic Mountain Bike race, held in Windhoek last weekend. Both rode in the 75km race and found it extremely tough. It is a lot different from the cycling they are used to here in Gobabeb, being much more technical and hilly, but they managed to finish before the cutoff time. With arguably the most difficult race behind them, they are looking forward to the rest of the season's racing, with short and long events that will be held in Walvis Bay, Swakopmund and Windhoek
throughout the year. Continue reading
Congratulations to Team Topnaar-Gobabeb!
Team Topnaar-Gobabeb (Richardt Swartbooi, Samuel //Gowaseb, Whitey Uirab and Theo Wassenaar) took part in the famous Desert Dash bicycle race and finished unbelievable 369km within 19h 57m 16s.
Go Team!
Go Whitey!
After an extensive search for a replacement for Linda, the team has selected Whitey Uirab of Natab 2. When not cycling, Whitey is a farmer tending his goats. The team gave him a formal test, looking at his ability to ride fast for short periods, and then took him for a long ride to see how his endurance levels are. They are happy that he will be able to fill Linda's shoes. Whitey did agree that the added demands of racing will mean that he will have to cut back on smoking a bit. Which is good on all accounts.
Bad News for the Team
Linda has to go into hospital for an operation. Wishing her good luck. Looks like Linda will have to withdraw! The team is very despondent.

WATCH HERE: http://bit.ly/NoiseyCnfrmstXTRMST
AFI lead vocalist Davey Havok and guitarist Jade Puget have released the first music video for their straight edge hardcore band XTRMST. Making its debut on NOISEY, the video is for their first single "Conformist" - watch it here. The track is off the duo's self-titled debut album, which NOISEY boasts as "...dark, frantic, and moody, tinged with electronics and very slick." The LP is set for release next week on Monday November 17 via Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records. Pre-orders are now live for the album on iTunes, and you can grab the "Conformist" single HERE.
"Jade and I have been talking about starting a straight edge hardcore band for years," says Havok. "We started writing and recording in early 2012 and chose the name XTRMST because it expresses the messages represented on the record. The straight edge movement is not one of moderation. It's based in undeniable objective truths."
"The straight edge philosophy is something that Davey and I gravitated towards at a young age, drawn by concepts and ideals that seem almost foreign in modern society," says Puget. "Like much of the other subcultures we were a part of growing up, it put us at odds with 99% of the people around us, which was something we embraced. Being sXe for over 20 years and being musicians, it seemed natural that this crucial ideology would find a musical expression."
The 14-track XTRMST album was produced and mixed by Puget at his home studio and at The Treehouse in Los Angeles, and its November 17 release will come via Dim Mak Records, the indie label founded by DJ/producer (and former member of hardcore band This Machine Kills) Steve Aoki. Although Aoki and Dim Mak are most often seen as leaders in the electronic dance music space, the release of the XTRMST album marks a return to Aoki and Dim Mak's hardcore roots. "I met Davey a while back and we bonded over our shared experiences in straight-edge culture. We found a lot of kinship there, and so it made sense for us to release an album that represents the spirit of what originally birthed Dim Mak," states Aoki.
"These songs are the purest expression of emotion, with no thought towards commerce or accessibility," says Puget. "And the album was made with the amount of money you have in your pocket right now - just 2 people expressing their love and hate into microphones in a tiny room."

17-52 grumpy grump.
Project 52 – A portrait of my child once a week, every week in 2014.
Week 17: Grump.
7 months old
This has basically been her face all week. I can't really pinpoint it to anything–she's just cranky. It's making the days long, when she doesn't want to play, sleep, or snuggle…or anything else I try to get to get her to do. Although in classic Lucy style, when I decided to capture her crankiness, she quickly stopped crying and did this:
"Oh, you are trying to get a picture? Hang on. Let me get my sweet face on."
But don't worry…it quickly turned back to this:
Happy weekend! Don't get too cranky folks.

Aeria Games, an online gaming company based in Japan, has released a browser-based game entitled "Caesary" that resembles one of my old favorites, Caesar III. Apparently you can play the game online for free and does not require a download. I wondered how the company produces revenue so I did some research and found that, although they allow players to play the game for free, they have advertising "in world" and offer game-related items for sale in virtual malls that accept micropayments. This sounds like the type of malls you find throughout many environments created in Second Life.
Here's the official game trailer from YouTube:

Silver investment coin 1 Oz Alice in Wonderland proof
Fairy tales from Walt Disney's studio are loved by children and adults of all ages and not just for the modern blockbusters composed of computer tricks. Back to the times of honest, hand-animated stories, presents you with a one ounce commemorative silver coin, issued on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the premiere of Alice in Wonderland.
By 1951 Walt Disney had already created twelve animated feature films. A fantastic book by the English writer and mathematician Lewis Carroll, became the draft for the thirteenth feature film. It tells a story of the adventures of a girl named Alice in a strange fairytale world, where she went through a rabbit hole. The narration is full of absurd situations and bizarre characters. One of them is a mad Hatter stuck in time, which, together with the March Hare and the sleepy Dormouse, organizes the never ending tea party. Through it all he gives Alice a riddles, that do not have an answer, and recites nonsensical poetry.
"The statistics say, that you've only one birthday every year, but there are 364 Un-Birthdays each year, do you know?"
The reverse side of the coin is dedicated to the main heroine of the story and her freakish host.
The scene of pouring a tea is completed with an English inscriptions ALICE in WONDERLAND and 65th Anniversary, together with a typical logo of Disney. The obverse side belongs to the attributes of the issuer, which is the Pacific island of Niue: the name and portrait of Queen Elizabeth II., a nominal value of TWO DOLLARS (NZD) and the year of issue 2016. The authors of the appearance of the coin are the members of the design team New Zealand Mint.
The collectible value of the issue further increases a wooden etue, which lets you expose the coin in the place of honor among your collection. It includes an illustrated cover and the COA, depicting the popular characters in a colorful contemporary graphics.

Birley, Normand Addison
Normand Addison Birley (G 1911-1916) was born on 26th March 1898, the second son of Lieutenant Colonel Charles Addison Birley of Bartle Hall, Preston, and the brother of Charles Fair Birley (G 1902-1908). He came to Winchester, going into Culver Lea, later known as Sergeant's, in 1911, becoming a House Prefect in his last year. At the time of his death in 1942 he was one of 28 Birleys who had been at Winchester in the preceding hundred years.
He passed through the Royal Military College, Sandhurst into the 17th Lancers and served with them in France for over a year before the Armistice of 1918. He was devoted to his Regiment and indeed had refused accelerated promotion in order to stay with it. From 1920 to 1922 he was an Instructor at the Cavalry School at Weedon, Netheravon and then until 1923 at the Equitation School. He was a keen rider to hounds.
He became Adjutant (1926-1929), was promoted Captain in 1930 and rose to the rank of Major in 1935. In 1940 he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in command of 2nd Royal Gloucestershire Hussars, taking over on 13th May. His battalion was part of 22nd Armoured Brigade and moved to North Africa which they reached at the end of September. They took part in Operation Crusader, the major Allied attack intended to break through German and Italian defences in Libya to relieve the beseiged Tobruk. During this fighting Birley was wounded, and was unable to command for a while.
"Crusader" had been a shattering experience for 2RGH. Reduced from regimental to troop strength – fifty tanks down to four – the unit had lost confidence in its equipment when their tanks had proved to be unreliable and totally outgunned by German tanks. Within a week, however, the unit had been re-formed and re-equipped with the M3 Stuart light tank (known by the British as 'Honeys' owing to their mechanical reliability).
The War Diary notes the return on 13th January 1942 of Lieutenant Colonel Birley after recovering from his injury. The battalion spent most of February to mid-May resting and training, eventually being sent back into the desert as part of 1st Armoured Division facing the Germans in the Gazala-Bir-Hacheim area. They took a severe punishing from the enemy, when attacked by the Italian Ariete Division and for his outstanding gallantry in action Birley was awarded an immediate DSO and was mentioned in despatches.
However, on 6th June 1942 at the age of forty-four, he was killed in action near the Knightsbridge defensive box. Killed by a shell from a 88 mm gun near Bir Bellifa, he lies in grave 4.B.23 of the Knightsbridge War Cemetery, Acroma, Libya.

|Detail - Sean Cheetham
|Wonderful lady atop her fabulous tent dress at the artMRKT entrance.
It was a big weekend in SF for art, lots of art fairs going on. Eclectix visited two, the artMRKT and the ArtPadSF. ArtPad was our favorite for reasons (saved for a later review and post), however artMRKT was really rewarding and worthwhile. It was held at the Concourse Exhibition Center in downtown San Francisco, a gigantic space with a ton of great art. There were many familiar artists whose work we love and have reviewed in the past plus many new. We have featured images of most, concentrating on our favorite picks of the newer (to us) artists. Many of the images are large and cropped to allow the detail to show. Our apologies for not getting the names of all the artists, all the fantastic art affected our brain functions a little. (Plus the art fairs all have bars just like at opening receptions, after many hours it all adds up!) If you do know the name of the uncredited ones, please comment and we will update the posts. If you decide to go next year and are pressed for cash, search around the web for free tickets, they are easily obtainable. But try to support the fairs if you can. Enjoy the art, we sure did!

Print the recipe! chicken noodle casserole
Easy and fast! This recipe is basically a chicken version of tuna noodle casserole (found here) adapted to be a food storage meal. Since my family isn't too crazy about tuna I was excited to try this recipe made with chicken; it turned out well and everyone liked it!
8 servings
12 oz. wide egg noodles, cooked
1 TBS powdered butter
5 TBS flour
1 can evaporated milk
1 (14 oz.) can chicken broth
2 (12.5 oz.) cans chicken
1/4- 1/2 cup freeze dried onion flakes (rehydrated) (*or 1/2 a small onion, chopped)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt (* in place of the salt and pepper I used one tsp. of Good Seasons Dressing mix)
1/4 tsp. pepper
For the bread crumb topping:
1 TBS oil (whichever type you prefer)
1/2 – 1 cup homemade bread crumbs
1- 2 TBS Good Seasons dressing mix (*or Italian seasoning)
Begin by rehydrating the onions. Start the water to boil to cook the egg noodles. In a small bowl combine the flour and butter powder. Mix into this about 1/4 cup of evaporated milk and whisk until smooth. In a large skillet, heat the remaining evaporated milk, onion and garlic powder and stir into this the flour and butter mixture. Add in the can of chicken broth and bring to a low boil until sauce is thickened. Add canned chicken to the sauce followed by the cooked noodles and stir all together. Transfer to a baking dish and top with bread crumb mixture. Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes until bread crumbs are toasted.
In to bake at 375 about 15 minutes until nicely toasted…
- In your planning to use as a long term recipe, remember you can utilize the water in the cans of chicken to rehydrate your onions to save water.
- To make the homemade bread crumbs, dry your bread well in a low temp. oven for an hour or two (200 degrees or so), then use a manual food mill (or food processor) to grind into crumbs.
- Fast but not "pantry meal" fast: The only thing that holds this meal back from being a go-to pantry meal is the preparation ahead of time in making the breadcrumbs. If you have the breadcrumbs ready to go it can be ready to bake in 15 minutes.
