Renovation does not necessarily have to do with change. With just a little creativity, undoubtedly the interior space in your dream home can be realized soon. Like for example the look of the kitchen that you feel is very boring. To make it fresh again, there are actually many easy and inexpensive ways to follow. One of them by painting a wall in the kitchen with a more attractive color. Alternatively, the kitchen needs to be stuffed with some small pots containing herbs on display by hanging or placed near a window. In addition to beautify the kitchen because of the fresh green leaves, herbs are also useful for complementary flavor of cooking. If both of you have done but the kitchen still looks monotonous, there may be one element that escaped the attention, namely the cabinet. The cabinet is very important for a kitchen. If you have enough kitchen utensils, do not underestimate this need. In addition to helping to showcase the kitchen neatly, the type of kitchen cabinet in the kitchen can also help save space.
Rolling ladder, add extra storage space above the cabinet. You can install a type of kitchen cabinet with a low position from the ceiling. Then add some shelves above it to store other items that are rarely used. Use the stairs if you want to take something from above.
Small cabinets, for small kitchens, use a small cabinet to save space. Keep your kitchen has a window that allows the room exposed to direct sunlight. Then use the space under the table to store something.
Open shelf, you can add an open shelf for a small kitchen. Put some kitchen utensils in there. In order not to seem messy and monotonous, add some small flower pots with green plants. Your little kitchen will look more attractive with that type of kitchen cabinet.

Star Trek 50th Anniversary Blogging: "The Doomsday Machine" (October 20, 1967)
11 comments:
Totally agree, this was the first ST I had seen with the new effects. The were not "cutting edge", very fitting to the spirit of the series. I liked that the Constellation and Enterprise actually moved a bit. I have no issue with the new effects and was there the first time around. Always on of my favorite episodes.ReplyDelete
I always liked "The Doomsday Machine" and Star Trek:The Motion Picture(1979) both had a Decker involved with the Enterprise encountering and engaging some kind of planet-threatening opponent. The Doomsday Machine and V'Ger heading to Earth both had a father and son Decker's departure:death and evolution.ReplyDelete

Yes, you might see why Decker rose to Captain, but not why he stayed there. It's right there. 'total confidence'. That means there's no feedback because he always feels himself to be right. And with no feedback, there's no chance for improvement. No wonder he makes the same mistakes again -- even after gaining knowledge. He is not the sort that the Federation needed.ReplyDelete
Always wondered who came up with the little visual nod to Bogart in The Caine Mutiny? Decker shuffles the date cards in his hands like Bogey does the steel balls.ReplyDelete
Just like Star Trek at this point in the Second Season, your reviews of Star Trek are clicking on all cylinders, with some excellent points made.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to offer a dissenting opinion vis-a-vis the new effects, which I find to be distracting precisely because the Enterprise flies around like a toy being held like a five-year-old. Otherwise, the new effects are indeed visually appealing, and I'm not going to argue with anyone who prefers them. I think it's wonderful we have such an option to appreciate both, or that they were even done to update the show for newer viewers. Clearly, the effects were crafted with love, and the desire to make the show last for years to come. Sometimes they're dodgy, but so were the original effects at times.
SGB, Thank You for pointing out the two Deckers and their symbolic relationship.
Many years ago I worked at a job where, whenever the opportunity arose, one of my co-workers would insanely cry out "You think I don't know that?!?" He was quoting Decker, from "The Doomsday Machine," and I was delighted to work with someone who had an appreciation for William Windom's fantastic performance.
I was pleased that Decker in Star Trek:The Motion Picture was his son. Although, it would have been nice if in TMP that they had dialogue between Kirk and Decker mentioning his father. Still, I do give them absolute credit for having Decker's son in TMP and not just an unknown character. It is very symbolic since some have stated TMP was just a remake of this episode and "The Changeling".Delete
I agree entirely. Had they included a brief sentence about the relationship, there would have been a lot of power in that one simple statement, as well as referencing an episode we were all familiar with. However, it would seem to underline the point that the film slightly re-hashed the very same episode!
Also, as a side note, I'm (still) reading the "Return to Tomorrow" book detailing the production of ST-TMP. Stephen Collins says he received very little background information on the character. During Post-Production, Gene Roddenberry sequestered himself to write the novelization of the movie, in which he definitively states that Decker is the son of Commodore Matt Decker...so I guess it was his plan all along!
Good to know that the "Return to Tomorrow" book confirms are thoughts on Gene Roddenberry making both Deckers a memorable part of the Star Trek timeline.
Agreed; while some of the new effects added good detail, the change in ship movement from "heavy cruiser" to "X-wing fighter" was jarring. It also makes the episode's situation make no sense, since by all appearances, after such a strafing run the Enterprise could have parked itself nimbly over the machine's tail and laughed at it.Delete
One of my comments seems to have been "eaten".ReplyDelete
Any discussion of leitmotif in this episode must include the poignant "Constellation" theme.

It was the MRI that did it. Everything else was reassuringly OK but the damn MRI 'lit up' and suddenly my status changed.
More tests and a new consultant. The best. In the world. New consultant supremely confident and extraordinarily reassuring. Cancer didn't seem so bad after all. What's a spot of grade 2 invasive lobular cancer between friends? Together we can deal with it.
It was a huge relief to have a plan. Diaries out and dates booked for a sentinel node biopsy followed by a mastectomy. Life was looking up. I was practically jubilant as I left his office and went to fill in the pre op forms.
Two days later I strolled into the waiting room. In retrospect it was quite a good practise run for major surgery. The pre op chats with anaesthetist, nurse and surgeon were all the same. The fitting of the glamorous surgical stockings and hospital gown.
I walked to the theatre and hopped on to the bed. The assistant anaesthetist chatted to me as her colleague put a needle in my left hand and an hour later I woke up feeling great and carried on the conversation. A week later I heard that the lymph nodes were clear. It hadn't spread.

Unfortunately I didn't feel quite so perky when I came out of seven hours surgery post mastectomy.
Far from chatting happily I begged for a bowl before I threw up into the oxygen mask. The oxygen mask was replaced with tubes up my nose which made being sick much easier.
The surgeon recommended an anti-nausea patch behind my ear which worked almost instantaneously and I was wheeled jubilantly to the ward attached to a catheter (bliss for anyone who normally needs to get up in the night to go to the loo) and a morphine drip (bliss for altogether different reasons).
They wrestled me into a crisp white sports bra which I have to wear 24/7 to help my newly formed boob keep its shape – and allowed my anxious husband to see me. I have no recollection.
The following three days passed in a blur of morphine and hospital meals. The surgeon popped in occasionally and seemed very pleased with his work. The nurses who checked me every few hours seemed equally pleased with my progress.
I began to feel rather clever. I posted a picture of myself on Facebook still with tubes up my nose. Flowers arrived. Cards galore. It was a bit like having given birth without the hassle of having to look after a small baby. I was able to shower. After two days I was even allowed out to watch my children in a swimming competition to celebrate my birthday.
Dosed up to the eyeballs with morphine and the 'drain bag' slung jauntily over my shoulder – red fluid draining through tubes from the wounds on my back and my right breast – I must have terrified the other swimmers.
The following afternoon I was discharged. That is when I realised how many drugs I was on. Typing felt as though I'd consumed a couple of bottles of wine. Conversation was exhausting. I really empathise with how old people must feel when visitors come and natter at them when all they want to do is dose off.
Four days later I returned to hospital to get the dressings removed and looked in horror at the scars on my back where the muscle had been removed to reconstruct my breast.
The four year old now shrieks and calls it 'mummys back monster'. Under my arm – already pretty messed up by the lymph node tests – is a mess of tendons, lumps and scarring. My breast actually looks pretty good. As far as I can gather the surgeon temporarily removed the nipple, scooped out the bad and refilled it with fat from all over my body.
Literally. I am black and blue on my legs and tummy where liposuction was used to find fat for filler. I am full of renewed respect for anyone who has plastic surgery.
Most of all though I am full of respect for the medical profession. Everyone who treated me at every stage of this quick but rather dramatic journey has been amazing. I cannot express my gratitude for them all, or for the selfless people who raise money to support cancer patients.
Before surgery I was told it was pretty much a given that I would need radiotherapy and over 50 per cent chance of chemo so I was astounded to be given the all clear a week after leaving hospital. The surgeon seemed to be as staggered as I was.
It's a miracle. I am truly, truly grateful and my heart goes out to everyone who currently has cancer. I know how lucky I am to have a happy ending.

Kidney Stones and Causes of Gout

Kidney Stones and Causes of Gout
Causes of GoutGout is a painful disease of the joints, which usually affects the big toe first in most people. It is caused by too much uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is formed by the breakdown of chemicals called purines, which can lead to high levels of uric acid and cause many problems such as joint swelling and kidney stones. Normally the uric acid is dissolved in the blood and passes out via the kidneys into the urine but if this does not occur it can build up in the body and cause the crystals to deposit and cause gout.
Some genetic diseases affect the breakdown of uric acid and also cause it to build up. Other causes include exposure to lead, foods high animal protein, some medications, obesity, excess alcohol or foods rich in purines. Some foods that cause gout are organ meats such as liver, brain and kidneys. Other foods include herring, anchovies, peas and dried beans. Alcohol affects the elimination of uric acid especially when taken in excess.
- Low carbohydrate diets, especially when very protein rich and with inadequate water intake can also cause gout.
- A family history of gout may also predispose a person towards getting it.
- You must have searched high and low for some matter for Uric Acid, isn't it?
- That is the main reason we compiled this article for you to get that required matter!
Medications such as diuretics (which help the kidney eliminate more urine) or aspirin cause gout. And people who have had an organ transplant are prone to gout. Patients on numerous medicines should talk to their healthcare provider to see if there are interactions between medicine and if an alternate drug may help. The common vitamin niacin can also trigger gout. It is not always that we just turn on the computer, and there is a page about Purines. We have written this article to let others know more about Purines through our resources.
What is Gout?Gout is a form of arthritis resulting from deposits of uric acid crystals formed in the bodies' joints. A gout attack will usually attack only one joint at a time, the big toe being the most common. Other joints that may also be impacted by gout are the feet, ankle, knee, hand, and wrist. The pain will typically last five to fourteen days, at which point the crystals will leave the joint.
Organ Meats, Such as Brain, Kidney, Liver, and Sweetbreads- Anchovies - Mackerel - Herring - Sardines - Gravies - Dried beans and peas We found it rather unbelievable to find out that there is so much to learn on Prevent Gout! Wonder if you could believe it after going through it!
- Avoid Alcohol.
- As stated before, alcohol interferes with the body excreting uric acid.
- Definitely stay away from alcohol if you are experiencing a gout attack.
Drink Plenty of WaterWater helps to flush uric acid out of your body. - Lose weight. If you are overweight, losing weight will decrease your uric acid levels. Do not fast, or engage in a rapid weight loss program, because this will actually cause a temporary raise in uric acid levels. Nothing abusive about Purine Intake have been intentionally added here. Whatever it is that we have added, is all informative and productive to you.
What are the Risk Factors?- Alcohol. Excessive consumption of alcohol is believed to inhibit the bodies' ability to dispose of excess uric acid. Our dreams of writing a lengthy article on Purine has finally materialized Through this article on Purine. however, only if you acknowledge its use, will we feel gratitude for writing it!
What Causes Gout?This question is still up in the air. The quick answer is that hyperuricemia, which is an elevated blood level of uric acid, which vitamins are good for gout?. With that said, not all patients with hyperuricemia develop gout, and some patients with gout do not have hyperuricemia. Although it is not clear how hyperuricemia relates to gout, one thing elms college; gout is associated with sudden changes in uric acid levels in the blood. After many hopeless endeavors to produce something worthwhile on Purine Intake, this is what we have come up with. We are very hopeful about this!
Obesity. Body weight has an impact on the bodies' ability to process uric acid properly, and puts a greater load on your joints. - Medical Conditions. High blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and medicines used to treat such conditions increase the likelihood of developing gout. .
Self help! There are a number of things that you can do for yourself to decrease your chance of developing gout, or having a recurrence. I must state however that there is no guaranteed way to prevent a gout attack. Important Disclaimer; Many of the following suggestions are intended to decrease your blood uric acid level. Ultimately, this should be your goal, but a sudden drop in your blood uric acid level, may cause a gout attack. I suggest that all lifestyle changes be made at a moderate pace to decrease the risk. You will learn the gravity of Uric Acid Levels once you are through reading this matter. Uric Acid Levels are very important, so learn its importance.
Genetics. A family history of gout increases the chance of developing gout by 20 percent. - Gender. Men are much more likely than women to develop gout. We have to be very flexible when talking to children about Decrease Uric Acid. They seem to interpret things in a different way from the way we see things!
Gout - Hands Gout - Elbow Gout - Hands Gout - Foot
Age. Men are most likely to develop gout between the ages of forty and fifty. Women generally develop gout after menopause. What can we do about gout? People have an inclination of bragging on the knowledge they have on any particular project. However, we don't want to brag on what we know on Purine Intake, so long as it proves useful to you, we are happy.
Foods With High and Moderately High Purine Levels Include:- All other meat - Other beans, such as kidney, lima, navy, lentil - Some vegetables, such as asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms, and spinach We have gone through extensive research and reading to produce this article low purine beer. Use the information wisely so that the information will be properly used.
What is Uric Acid?Uric acid helps protect blood vessel linings and serves as an antioxidant. Uric acid is created when purines are broken down by the body. Purines are found in all the cells of the body, and in virtually all food. Some food sources contain a much higher concentration of purines than all the others. Foods with very high purine levels include:

Clipper Magazine Shares Industry Benchmarks for Restaurants
LIVONIA, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 2018--Clipper Magazine, a wholly owned subsidiary of Valassis, a leader in activating consumers through intelligent media delivery, today released restaurant average order value (AOV) benchmarks compiled from its Total Loyalty Solutions (TLS) mobile app-builder.
The data, from hundreds of restaurants, represents over $20 million worth of online transactions. Revealing the AOV for each restaurant category provides restaurant owners valuable insights to help them measure their online ordering standing against industry averages.
According to the National Restaurant Association, 42 percent of consumers say the ability to order online would make them choose one restaurant over another. In addition, the latest food and dining survey from RetailMeNot found that more than half (53 percent) of consumers surveyed have at least one food and dining app on their phone, with 21 percent being restaurant-specific. The industry is reaching a point where restaurants – especially quick-service and fast casual restaurants – that do not cater to consumers' demands for convenience and value, will have a hard time competing for customers.
The overall AOV for restaurants analyzed from March 17 to April 18, 2018 is $32.73. Below is a sample of specific restaurant categories and their corresponding AOV:
A complete list of AOVs for specific restaurant categories can be found here.
"Comparing performance to other restaurants by category helps owners gauge whether they are doing well or where there's room for improvement in online ordering," said Steve Hauber, President, Valassis Local Solutions. "With this information, small businesses can make changes accordingly, whether that's investing more into online ordering platforms or tweaking the checkout experience to highlight premium items and promote add-ons."
Online ordering is not only convenient for consumers, it enables restaurants to cost effectively take orders and increase efficiency. Restaurants using online ordering find that their online order values increase. In fact, according to PizzaSales, the average online pizza order is 18 percent higher than orders by phone.
"Online ordering increased our overall sales and significantly improved operations," said Mike Winslow, General Manager of Boardwalk Billy's, a barbeque restaurant in North Carolina. "In fact, Total Loyalty's online ordering has been so convenient for both our customers and employees that Boardwalk Billy's has transitioned to using online ordering as the only method for placing a takeout order.

Woo Hoo!!!
Yes my friends I have FINALLY reached one of my goals. So far I have lost 7.5 lbs which means I can finally buy my first treat, nail polish! I am also well on my way to my next prize... treating myself to a movie.
Even though I weighed myself today instead of Tuesday (cause I haven't been to the gym since last Tuesday), I had a feeling that I would be able to record a loss. I tried to chill out about the whole weight loss thing and just concentrated on trying to eat right and even when I slipped I didn't beat myself up over it. I worked like a mad dog this week and I think that had something to do with it plus Aunt Flow went back home after an extremely annoying visit.
This was just the boost I needed to keep my positive energy flowing and to get me excited about working out again.
Thanks for all of your words of encouragement. They mean the world to me! :)

It all started around five years ago, I stood in my brothers garden looking up to watch a plane as it flew by, but I was surprised to see the contrail linger in the sky, as far as I knew, contrails of old disappeared shortly after the plane flew over, but not this one, the contrail grew into a cloud and stayed all day.
This was the start of a quest, I needed to know why things had changed & in doing so this led me down a very deep and extremely convoluted rabbit hole………
After much research, I learned the lingering contrails were actually termed as chemtrails (chemical trails) containing materials like, Barium, Potassium Iodide, Bacilli, Mold's, Aluminium Oxides, Copper Sulphates, Cadmium, Arsenic, Desiccated Red Blood Cells, Ethylene Dibromide, Nano-Aluminum-Coated Fiberglass, Nitrogen Trifluoride & a plethora of other chemicals….but why?
Why indeed!! I started to research the possible reasons only to be shocked by what I found, there was a connection to the Illuminati a secretive and clandestine order started on May Day, 1776 in Bavaria by a man called Adam Weishaupt. Weishaupt's mantra was to create a 'New World Order' & within their ideology was to reduce the world's population to 500 Million people, as they believed the world was vastly overpopulated, this is backed up by a carved inscription in the Georgia Guidestones (Though relatively unknown to most people, it is an important link to the Occult Hierarchy that dominates the world in which we live.) that reads "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature."
Were we really being sprayed like roaches in a nefarious plan to kill off 93.29% of the world's population?
Further research took me deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole, I learned "Chemtrailing" was the largest military air exercise since World War 2 and was also linked to other lurid hypotheses & theories…..
There was conjecture about links to a mind control operation, conducted by the US Government using the U.S Navy's HAARP installation in Alaska (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) proponents believing chemtrails act as an atmospheric conductor that assists in the transmission of ELF waves to create an imbalance between the Schumann (resonance) and geomagnetic waves, ergo disrupting our natural human biorhythms, which in turn can change our moods, ranging from passive to aggressive.
There were other theories alluding to transhumanism (Transhumanism, abbreviated as H+ or h+ is an international and intellectual movement that aims to transform the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities) citing the reasons for biological components in chemtrails were to act as carrier and binding-integrators, conspiracy theorists citing transhumanism could be utilized for nefarious uses, for example, Bio-engineered RFID chips would allow Governments and Government agencies total control of human surveillance (IBM has already developed the software to allow 24/7 monitoring of an RFID passive chip,) in my view this is the next step in the surveillance states agenda.
The official Government line on chemtrails uses the guise of 'Geo-engineering' a system implemented to aerosol spray particulates into the atmosphere in an attempt to reflect solar radiation back into the atmosphere, thus slowing down the rate of global warming, but as we all know, sometimes what it says on the tin, isn't what you find inside!!
I suppose my research into chemtrails led down various paths, the information I accumulated slowly started to open my eyes into how the world really worked, how governments seek total control of their populous, and how they disseminated a wide range of propaganda aimed at making us believe what they wanted us to believe, the tool of choice was MSM (Mainstream Media,) due to MSM being owned by a small handful of powerful & very influential globalists, they could control the flow and content of information that was released to the general public.
It taught me about collectivism (the moral stance, political philosophy, ideology, or social outlook that emphasizes the significance of groups—their identities, goals, rights, and outcomes.) in this context I watched as Americans voted in their two-party system, for one of the two presidential candidates being thrust upon them by MSM, what a large majority of Americans weren't realising was, whether democrat or republican, they were two wings of the same bird and the wings candidates were hand-picked by the Bilderberg Group.
This led me onto learning more about the Bilderberg group, an annual private conference of 120 to 150 people of the European and North American political elite, experts from industry, finance, academia, and the media, established in 1954, attendees including, but not limited to names like David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Angela Merkel, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, Lloyd Blankfein, George Soros, Donald Rumsfeld, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, other heads of state, influential senators, congressmen and parliamentarians, Pentagon and NATO brass, members of European royalty such as Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands & Prince Charles, selected media figures, and invited others – some quietly by some accounts like Barack Obama and many of his top officials.
The Group's grand design is for "a One World Government better known as the New World Order (World Company) with a single, global marketplace, policed by one world army, and financially regulated by one 'World (Central) Bank' using one global currency." Their "wish list" includes:
"one international identify (observing) one set of universal values;"
Centralized control of world populations by "mind control;" in other words, controlling world public opinion;
A New World Order with no middle class, only "rulers and servants (serfs)," and, of course, no democracy;
"A zero-growth society" without prosperity or progress, only greater wealth and power for the rulers;
Manufactured crises and perpetual wars;
Absolute control of education to program the public mind and train those chosen for various roles;
"Centralized control of all foreign and domestic policies;" one size fits all globally;
Using the UN as a de facto world government imposing a UN tax on "world citizens;"
Expanding NAFTA and WTO globally;
Making NATO a world military;
Imposing a universal legal system; and
A global "welfare state where obedient slaves will be rewarded and non-conformists targeted for extermination."
This might all seem a bit far-fetched, but it's as real as sunshine and backed up with real evidence.
At times the research and study left me feeling forlorn, annoyed, frustrated, helpless, but sometimes excited and intrigued, there are many more components to the "Bigger Picture" too many to mention in this three page speech…..which leads me onto why this inspired me to change the world and how I proposed to do this.
You see, the power has always lied with the people, that's why we left the European Union, the people demanded a referendum, a referendum was held and "We the people" decided it was time to leave, so a 'Brexit' followed.
So, my thoughts were, to try and empower the people through the proliferation of real knowledge, I'm not talking about curriculum learning, I'm talking about grass roots knowledge on the inner workings of geo-politics, the incessant spying by the NSA on every electronic communication, globally, the corruption of our governments, the destruction of our planet by avaricious corporations, the poisoning of our drinking water, the secretive CIA mind control operations, weather warfare, the useless nature & distinct lack of intrinsic value of our immoral fiat currency system, the corruption ubiquitous in our banking system, the censorship of the internet, the scandalous nature of the fractional reserve banking system, the abject resistance and systemic suppression of governmental disclosure in regard to extra terrestrial visitations, the dumbing down of societies through the use of mandatory vaccinations, the implementation of inside Government jobs, such as 9/11, to bring about executive orders (NDAA-National Defence Authorisation Act, and the Patriot Act) designed to strip "We the people" of our civil rights and the global elites vice-like grip on the worlds oil, banking and general economy.
If "We the people" are forewarned, then we are forearmed, the global "Awakening" is growing exponentially and I would like to think I have played a small part in that, no matter how small my contribution has been, people are waking up to the real, raw & corrupt world in which we live.
So in June 2011 I started to tell people about the inner workings of our world through the creation of this blog…."Wake Up World" I also started a YouTube channel, of the same name www.youtube.com/lordlangerz and you can find me on Twitter @lordlangerz
Martin Luther King Jr delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.,
what he was unaware of at the time was that his words would eventually resonate around the world bringing about real change for black communities around our precious planet, my only hope is through my blog and youtube channel, I too will change somebody's life in a positive way by awakening them and providing them with the knowledge and tools to 'fight the tyranny to protect their liberty'…..Peace, love & understanding.

Build: Feadship (Van Lent)
LOA: 66.3m (217.3ft)
Expected delivery: December 2015
List price: POA
We are delighted to present this extremely rare opportunity to acquire a completely new, bespoke Feadship and take delivery by December 2015. Eidsgaard Design, having enjoyed a longstanding partnership with Feadship, has created a number of interior concepts for PROJECT 809, covering a range of tastes and styles with a contemporary twist. However, there is still ample opportunity for the new owner to put a personal stamp on the project.
PROJECT 809's interior highlights include a generous owner's quarters with extendible balcony accessed from a partitioning lounge, private aft deck and his-and-hers bathroom. A full-height atrium with glass staircase extending from the owner's deck to the sundeck provides a spectacular central feature to the superyacht, while the concept of using glass to enhance natural light continues throughout the vessel for a bright atmosphere that invites the surrounds inside. Additional to the owner's quarters there is a VIP suite (which can seamlessly convert into two suites, depending on guest parties), and four further guest suites. There is also a sauna, gym and massage room/hair salon.
PROJECT 809's exterior has been created with enjoyment between friends and family in mind. An extensive beach club accessed from a full-beam sea terrace provides the perfect spot from which to relax by the water or enjoy the vessel's selection of watersports and toys. The sundeck's jacuzzi, sun pad and bar offer a focal point for social activities both day and night, and a touch-and-go helipad on the foredeck offers an alternative route to access on board.
Build: Baglietto
LOA: 46.0m (151.0ft)
Expected delivery: August 2014
List price: EUR 26,000,000
This Francesco Paszowski-designed full displacement superyacht is due for delivery in a matter of months and would make an excellent choice for fans of vessels with a sleek, sporty profile and generous outdoor entertainment space.
On the main deck, the salon features large windows and comfortable seating from which to enjoy the changing view, while indoor dining for 10 is elevated to the sky lounge above. The full beam master cabin on the main deck forward has a private office and bathroom with steam shower and spa bathtub. Accommodation for the remainder of the guests is located on the lower deck, with two VIP cabins and two twin cabins with additional pullmans.
The beach club on the aft lower deck is converted to a gym area, for open-air exercise, and the tenders have been positioned under covers on the main foredeck. On the bridge deck aft there are fantastic panoramic views over the stern of the yacht, but the focal point for outdoor entertainment will surely be on her beautiful sundeck, with sunloungers, dining for 12 guests and a range of seating options. Taking ownership of this superyacht would surely be the ultimate way to round up the summer in the Mediterranean.

Mega graduates out of beta, gets new look
Cloud storage service Mega arrived with a bang early this year, after its controversial founder Kim Dotcom revealed that users will get a whopping 50 GB of storage at no cost. The man's involvement with the defunct Megaupload certainly piqued people's interest, with more than three million users trying or relying on the service within the first month.
More than nine months after its launch, Mega has announced, via its official blog, the end of the beta stage. The cloud storage service now touts "significant improvements and optimizations" as well as a refreshed look for the site. Let's take a look at what's new.
Mega says that it has improved the loading times, after trimming the code and implementing dynamic feature fetching. The service has also improved the file transfer feature, allowing users to navigate its site while uploads and/or downloads are in progress; the queue shrinks to a small widget which appears in the left corner of the page, after leaving the file manager.
The contact management is improved as well; users will be able to see the number of files that other users are sharing with them, as well as the time-stamp of the files.
As far as new features go, Mega now comes with a refreshed website that, according to the company, should reduce the CPU overhead (workload) and provide a more responsive interface. There is also a new navigation panel, which allows for easy switching between the service's features. Mega added user avatars, which appear in contacts lists.
The cloud storage service now makes use of local caching -- it should improve loading times as the browser will only fetch changes from the server. A new Firefox extension is touted to make virtually everything better: lower loading times, improved download speeds and beefed-up security. Downloaded content is saved straight to the user's drives (bypassing the browser buffering), folder structures can be downloaded and the updates are cryptographically signed by Mega.
Mega is still waiting for Apple to approve its iOS app, which is expected to arrive in the App Store later in November. Also later this month, the service is set to receive an official Sync client for Windows. Encrypted messaging and real-time chat will arrive in early 2014, says Mega.

Raspberry Kiss
A delectable refreshing White Zinfandel is front and center in this wine. The plum and berry notes pair perfectly with the flavor of sweet, ripe raspberries to create a succulent mouth-watering blush wine.
The Dark Side
Ruby red merlot has become the poster child of the wine industry. This is where we start with this wine. We play off the richness of berries and fruits that naturally bursts from the merlot grapes and enhance it. By adding the fresh picked flavor of black raspberries to this wine we've created an easy drinking smooth treat.
Christmas Blush (Seasonal-Limited Quantities)
With obtaining our license so late in 2016, we were unable to produce this wine for 2016. Look for this delicious wine around late October 2017.
Pop My Cherry
Pinot Noir and its cherry spice flavors are just enhanced by the addition of a black cherry flavoring. Enjoy this black cherry flavor without having to deal with the pits. The intense fruit flavor is just what we wanted from this wine without being overbearing.
Apple of my Eye
This was the wine that started it all! This semi sweet wine pairs a Riesling grape with the flavor of green apple. These flavors provide a tug of war on your taste buds. Is this wine crisp, like biting into a crunchy green apple or does the tartness come through? This pleasant flavor along with slight acidity of the Riesling grape creates a cool clean finish that's a delight on your palate.
Juicy Watermelon
The delicate finish and strawberry notes of White Merlot is on display. It's paired with the crispness and juicy sweetness of watermelon. Serve it chilled and you'll think you're biting into a nice slice of fresh watermelon.
Perfect Pear
Taste what a Sauvignon Blanc on steriods has to offer. We pair this soft delicate wine with another fruit that grows on a vine, a kiwi. It doesn't stop there as additional flavoring provides a rich pear aroma. All this while the Sauvignon Blanc provides hints of pineapple and banana. All these flavors meld beautifully in this refreshing wine.
Exotic Dancer
Let the luscious fruit run wild on your taste buds. With the natural berry and plum flavors already prominent in the White Zinfandel as we kick it up a notch by introducing the flavors of blackberry, strawberry, passionfruit and blackcurrant. This combination is nicely balanced with a tangy finish.
Life's a Peach
The world's most popular white wine is the base of this thirst-quenching wine. Chardonnay is paired with the delightful flavors of peach and apricot. The subtle hints of citrus, fruit flavors and dryness in the Chardonnay are only enhanced by the flavoring producing a delightful wine that is perfect for any occasion.
Fruit Fusion
Some people spend precious time making their own sangria. With this wine, we do the work for you! We infuse this wine with the flavors of sweet ripe raspberries and juicy peaches to create the perfect summer drink, but can be drank anytime thoughout the year. All these flavors together produce a fruity and refreshing drink.
Strawberry Fields Forever
Bright and refreshing, this wine provides tangy acidity and delicate finish already in White Merlot and enhaced strawberry flavors already in existence. The natural strawberry flavor provides a pleasant sweetness that creates a lively wine that was always meant to be paired together.

I started writing speeches for John Kerry when I was 21. And I basically only got the job because I was a press assistant on the campaign, and we were losing to Howard Dean, and the campaign was running out of money and there was a big shake-up and all these people got fired, and they needed a deputy speechwriter and at that point they couldn't really afford to hire a real one. No one really wanted to join what looked like a sinking ship. He went on to have a whole general election, but throughout that whole time, I always sort of thought that I had landed the job by accident. As a writer, you can never tell if you're good anyway without doubting yourself.
I met with Obama after Kerry lost and Obama won the Senate seat. Robert Gibbs had recruited me for this job because he was my boss when I was with the Kerry campaign. And he's like, "Look, Obama's never worked with a speechwriter before in his life — he's written all his own stuff. But now he's a senator; he's going to need to learn to work with someone, whether he likes it or not." And when I met with Obama he was unbelievably nice, we had a great conversation, it was the most easygoing interview I've ever had. And at the very end he said, "Well, I still don't think I need a speechwriter, but you seem nice enough, so let's give this a whirl."
So I start with Obama through the Senate, thinking, you know, I had been at the convention when he gave that speech in 2004. That was all him, and that hung over my head the entire time I started writing for him. Because I thought, Never will I help write a speech like this, right? He is the master — I was there when he gave one of the best speeches I heard, and he wrote it. And his first two years in the Senate, I think we wrote some decent speeches together, and then he announced for president, and — it's hard to remember now — but for most of 2007, he was badly trailing Hillary Clinton. And on the stump, he would go and give 40-, 50-minute speeches in Iowa that were long and sort of rambling and workmanlike, and he's better than that but it was a tough race, and when a race gets tough there's more pressure and everyone starts yelling at you, you start just going out and saying all kinds of different things and making your speeches longer. The knock against him was "Oh, she's all substance and you're all style." So to counter that I think Obama went out and tried to show everyone just how smart he was on every issue, and the speeches became very long and involved. And, you know, I'm Mr. Speechwriter in the campaign, and I'm like, "Well, I'm not fixing this, so I'm sort of a failure here."
And so now it's like October of 2007, and there's literally headlines that say — I had one hanging up from the New York Post that said, "Hillary Ready for Her Coronation." We were down in Iowa, and our last chance there is the speech that Obama's giving at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Iowa. A couple of us that had been with the Kerry campaign in 2004 remembered that that was the speech that Kerry gave that sort of turned the race around and helped him beat Dean in Iowa. And so we looked at the speech the same way. Now, the interesting thing about this speech is, all the candidates deliver this speech. It's the last time that all the candidates deliver a speech one after another before the caucusing begins, and the whole media's there — national media, local media. There's no prompter, and there's a time limit of about ten minutes. So you have to deliver a ten-minute speech without a prompter and you have to make your best case for your candidacy. All the pressure was on this speech; everyone was like, "This is our only hope here. Maybe we can pull even with Hillary after this or catch up in the polls." And because there was so much pressure on it, writing and drafting were impossible — there's a million conference calls with everyone saying, "Emphasize this, emphasize that." Me and Ben Rhodes and Adam Frankel probably went through ten, 15 drafts of that speech, staying up till three in the morning, having them rejected the next day by people because everyone was so involved. Obama didn't know exactly what he wanted to say, and Axelrod didn't know, and there was all kinds of calls and meetings.
So, finally, there was a speech planned a couple weeks before the JJ that we sort of just made up — it was basically a year before the actual election, right? Like the anniversary of the year before the real election. And no one on the campaign was really paying attention to that speech because everyone was so focused on the JJ. So what I did is I pretty much wrote a speech that I thought he should give at the JJ. I kind of snuck it in there. But I always remember now: The night that he was on SNL, I had a bunch of people over at my apartment in Chicago. He was supposed to give that speech that I had written, the practice speech, that day. I hadn't heard how the speech went but I had a bunch of people over at my apartment to look at the SNL skit. It's like 11, 11:30. And suddenly I get a call from Axelrod and he said, "Obama just gave the speech — totally blew up the place. He loves it and he says that that's what the JJ needs to be. But the trick is, he needs you to cut this 20-minute speech down to a ten-minute speech so he can start practicing, and he needs you to do it by tomorrow morning." So I was in my apartment with everyone over, I've had a beer or two, but immediately I kick everyone out, I change over to Red Bull and coffee, and I walked down to the campaign at midnight and stayed up all night until about 10 or 11 a.m. the next day, and I wrote the JJ speech. And I finished the draft and for the first time, you know, Obama sees it and he's like, "I actually don't have that many edits. I think it's a pretty good speech." So he practices that speech, practices memorizing that speech more than I had ever seen him do before, because he's never really had to memorize a speech word for word. Like when we were at a hotel in Des Moines a couple weeks before the speech, if you walked by Obama's hotel room you could hear him practicing the speech to himself and the mirror, just trying to memorize it.
There are two important moments in that speech. One paragraph distilled the whole race of why Obama and not Hillary at the time, right? Which was like, "This part of Jefferson and Jackson and of Kennedy and Roosevelt knows that we're better off when we lead not by polls but by principle; not by calculation but by conviction. And that's what this party's about." Something like that. And then there was this nice thing at the end that a lot of people didn't notice in the campaign just because it wasn't central to the message against Hillary, but he sort of quieted down at the very end of that speech and he said, "I'll never forget that I would never be where I am right now unless someone somewhere stood up for me when it was hard." You know, when it wasn't easy. "And then because that one person stood up, a few more stood up, and then a few thousand more stood up, and then millions more stood up, and because they stood up we changed the world." And that was sort of the first time we linked the history of him possibly being the first black president and civil rights with a message of the campaign, which was grassroots organizing to make a difference. And that's sort of how we ended that speech, and that was always pretty meaningful to me.
So we get to the JJ, and somehow, by the luck of the draw, the order of the candidates' speeches was that all the other candidates go first, Hillary goes second to last, and Obama goes last. So all these candidates go, get out of the way. Hillary gives her speech and the crowd's all quiet for Hillary because she's obviously the front-runner. And she gives a speech that is like all … I mean, you could tell there were a lot of slogans that were shopped around in her campaign. So the speech was something about "Turn up the heat, turn America around," and all the supporters in the stands were supposed to yell, "Turn up the heat!" It didn't work that well. And then there's a pause and then Obama gets up there and he delivered — way better than it was written — the JJ speech. I was sitting there watching all the reporters, and all the reporters were like, "That's it — that's the speech. This is something big." The crowd went completely insane. Even some of the other candidates's supporters were going nuts.
The last time I had been in a room where he gave a speech like that was 2004, when I was a kid working for John Kerry. And to have been there in Iowa at that moment when I had helped work on the speech and just help sort of see, you know, history unfolding in this arena, it was incredible and it was the first moment in my life that I thought to myself, Okay, maybe I got the hang of this. From then on it felt like something clicked and then we had the Iowa victory speech and the New Hampshire speech, the "Yes We Can" speech and all that other kind of stuff. And it worked out from then on, but the JJ was sort of the first moment that I was like, Okay, I think I might have something to contribute here. I think I can be of use. That to me was probably the breakthrough.
It was also the first time I thought we would win. I mean, when we started, we thought it was a long shot — "Who knows?" — but then August, September roll around, October even, and we're like, "I don't know if we're gonna do this. It seems we might come up short." And then he gave that speech and it was great because most people from Chicago were in Des Moines that night, the whole campaign was there, and we — a couple of us had driven out from Chicago to go see the speech, me and my friend, just to be there. And you know, it was the first time that I thought, "It's gonna happen. It could actually happen and turn this around."
But it didn't really resonate for me then. Not yet. It didn't until we won Iowa. But I remember the first time I saw him after we won Iowa, he came out of his hotel room after editing that speech, and he just looked at me and he goes, "Speeches, man." And he gave me a big hug and I was like, All right.

Title: The Girls' Guide to Dating Zombies
Author: Lynn Messina
Genre: Adult paranormal/Chick Lit
Amazon Synopsis:
Hattie Cross knows what you're thinking: Zombie sex? Ewwwww. But she also knows that since a virus turned 99.9999 percent of human males into zombies, it's statistically impossible to meet—let alone date—the remaining 0.00001 percent. So she writes "The Girls' Guide to Dating Zombies" to help her fellow single women navigate the zombie-relationship waters.
Her practical how-to impresses the CEO of the largest drug company in the world, and before she knows it, Hattie, a reporter for a downmarket tabloid that specializes in conspiracy theories, is sitting down with the woman who single-handedly invented the zombie-behavioral-modification market. Granted access to the inner sanctum of zombaceuticals, she meets an actual, living, breathing M-A-N.
Now Hattie, the consummate professional, is acting like a single girl at the end of the twentieth century: self-conscious, klutzy and unable to form a coherent sentence without babbling. Worst of all, the human male appears to have impaired her ability to think clearly. Because all of a sudden she's convinced a conspiracy is afoot at the drug company and it seems to go all the way to the top!
Personal Reaction:
What a fun book! I love how chapters of the Guide were mixed into the story itself. There are a lot of zombie books out there right now and this is a nice humorous twist on our favorite brain eating, foot dragging, reanimated humans.
Know why you should pick up this book (besides the interesting plot, the humor and the good writing)? You should pick it up for the zombie sex. Yes, I said sex. S-E-X. With zombies. Zombies who are missing limbs. Zombies who might loose a finger during fornication. Zombies on….Viagra! Come on now. Comedy gold! You know you want to read about it!
Q) Is The Girls' Guide to Dating Zombies the first novel you've written?
Ha! The Girls' Guide is, like, the 17th novel I've written. It's the sixth I've published.
Q) Was there a lot of research involved in getting this work completed or was it off the cuff, pantser style?
Total off the cuff. Every so often I'd google zombie stuff but for the most part I just made it up as I went along.
Q) I *LOVE* that the website referred to in the book, http://zombiedating.wordpress.com/the-girls-guide-to-dating-zombies/ , is a real thing and it's chock full of info. What prompted you to make the site to go along with the book?
That was complete dumb luck. In the original MS, I referred several times to GirlsGuideToDatingZombies.com. Then, just as I was about to send the manuscript to the formatter, I changed it to the blog I'd started for the book. I had NO IDEA that it would link up electronically. When I clicked on it in the Kindle app and it went straight to the website, I was blown away. You should try clicking on the Potatoworks link. It takes you to a reading guide with tongue-in-cheek questions.
Q) Tell us the truth, was it liberating in any way to write a story where women hold all the worldly power?
Too liberating. I went off on a lot of tangent about how great things were, which I cut because, well, they were tangents.
Q) Would you be like your heroine, Hattie, and date zombies and make the best out the situation, were it to come to that?
Nope. Pretty sure I wouldn't. But then, I'm no heroine.
Q) Are you a zombie lover? Fan of other books and movies? Which ones?
I'm not a zombie lover. I don't like tense, scary or gross. (I couldn't make it past the first episode of Walking Dead.) But I love funny and absurd, like Shaun of the Dead.
(Ed. Note: LOOOOOVE Shaun of the Dead! Walking Dead too, but I can totally see the difference between the two and why you wouldn't be into the one)
Q) Big question: Which is better, the fast or the slow zombie? (Ed. Note: Meh fast zombies!)
I think anything that lumbers is terrifying.
(Ed. Note: I so agree!)
Q) Ever participated in a Zombie walk (Ed. Note: If not, let me tell you, they are chock full of fun and you should definitely give it a try if you can!)
I've never zombie-walked. Like I said, I find anything that lumbers terrifying = )
(Ed. Note: a fun way to get over your fear when you get to be one though! You ever find yourself in Jersey around Halloween, you call me. I'll zombie you up & we'll walk!)
Q) What can we expect next from you?
Wow. Where to start? My agent is still shopping around a middle-grade book about robots that I wrote a couple of years ago and she's talking to an epublisher about a novel I wrote about my never-ending movie option. (Going on year nine.) I have a plot in mind based on a Victorian novel I recently read. And then there's the possibility of a sequel to Girls' Guide. It hadn't occured to me but several people have asked about one now.
Q) Where can fans connect with you and purchase The Girls' Guide to Dating Zombies?
They can connect with me on my blog, zombiedating.wordpress.com or my website, lynnmessina.com. I'm on goodreads, twitter, facebook. They can get the book at Amazon or BN.
Q) Lastly, just for fun, if The Girls' Guide to Dating Zombies was turned into a smash Broadway musical, what would be big number be called?
That is the best question ever: Zombie-rama-roo.

My friends are amazing and dealing with grace what has become their world right now. They are learning about the medical world and doing all that is required and necessary to find out exactly what Dave's diagnosis is. At the moment it is B-cell Lymphoma, which is better news then the pancreatic cancer that was first thought. Please keep them in your prayers.
I met my niece's new baby girl, Janie, she is so sweet and beautiful. Here's a peek at cuteness!
My mom and I had a lovely lunch at a place called Terrain. This restaurant was so unique. It's a nursery and garden center in the spring, summer and fall and a lovely restaurant and gift shop in the winter months. We both had a delicious lunch. I started off with a mulled cider served with a mini biscotti. Water was served in mason ball jars and lemon. Just so garden and green house themed. Yes, the tables were in the greenhouse with all the plants and details. Things were hanging and climbing and decorating the walls and ceiling. Want to see?
|mason jar, backdrop to our table (gorgeous door), hanging plants, tree stump tables, greenery, menu, decor
We opted out of dessert and did a little shopping in the gift shop. It was a lovely experience and so nice to have been shared with my mom. Love those memorable moments to be cherished.
Can you see the uniqueness of this place and why I'm sharing this perfect day?! I have been looking into baking bread in the oven with flower pots and it is very doable. You do have to treat the clay pots with oil and baking in the oven to season the clay. But it is something I will do and then I can see a lot of flower pot breads!
Everyone has been into the sky lately and I am also one to admirer the sky. I took a photo in my mom's back yard where the sky looked so threatening and then to the left it was beautiful. Here take a look.
Sorry for blinding reflecting
Blue sky and sun
So as you can see it was a nice visit. I visited friends, family and neighbors and it was so satisfying to fit so much into one visit. BUT most of all it was great to show my mom a good time because she really does not go out much.
I knit in the evening while watching TV and will have a ta-dah soon. What I'm knitting is a first for me, can't wait to show you.
Thanks so much for visiting. I have to get caught up on all your lovely blogs. Look at my first purchased flowers in 2012! I just love tulips this time of year. They make me smile and we all need that on these wintery days. It's really cold here, -2 degrees F this morning and a high of 22 F. Bbrrrrrrrrrr
Be back soon. Thanks again for your lovely comments and following my rambling stories and tales.

That's wrong. Poinsettia can be irritating but it is not fatal if eaten. If children and pets eat it, they can develop a mouth rash and stomach upset. The sap can cause a skin rash, too. The Full Story The poinsettia is well known for its bright red and green colors. It is a very common household plant, especially around the winter holidays. The plant was first discovered in Mexico and brought into the United States by the first minister to Mexico, Dr. Joel Poinsett. This festive plant is not deadly, but some stories just won't go away. Over a hundred years ago, a child was found next to a wild poinsettia plant. He died and people blamed the plant. This hasn't happened since. Researchers even tried to find out what the poisonous dose of poinsettia might be and they just couldn't, even after reaching experimental doses of about 1.25 pounds (500-600 leaves). The plant does not have dangerous effects when eaten. In most cases, exposure to any parts of the poinsettia plant in children or pets has very little if any effect. If swallowed, it may cause mild irritation: nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Touching it may cause a rash. There have been reports of gardeners who work with the plant frequently developing a rash from handling the plant. So, you don't have to completely eliminate the plant from your home. After all, it makes for a great holiday décor. But you still should prevent your child or pet from swallowing it by storing it out of their reach. It can pose a choking hazard. And, it is always nice to avoid having to deal with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or a skin rash. Rose Ann Gould Soloway, RN, BSN, MSEd, DABAT emerita Clinical Toxicologist Serkalem Mekonnen, RN, BSN, MPH Certified Specialist in Poison Information For More Information Poisonous and Non-Poisonous Plants: An Illustrated List For Pets: American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) - Poisonous Plants References Evens Z, Stellpflug S.

Poisoned? Call 1-800-222-1222 or HELP ME online Prevention Tips Place poinsettias where children and pets can't reach them. Put other houseplants out of reach, too. Even if they're not dangerous, they could cause choking if children or pets take a bite. This Really Happened On Christmas Day, a 10-month-old child put a small piece of a leaf from a poinsettia plant in his mouth. His mother was concerned and called Poison Control for advice. The poison specialist reassured the mother that no problems were expected. The mom was advised to simply wipe the child's mouth and to give him something to drink.

Dandeli – Paradise for Bird Watchers!!!!
It was a good year in terms of travelling for me. The year had started with a trip to Coorg, two trips to Waynad , visit to Orissa and now to Dandeli. This trip was planned just 2 days before.
3-days long weekend was ahead and so few of us got tempted to go on a short trip. Finally 4 of us decided to go to Dandeli – Vaibhav, Sushil, Sushmita and Myself. The train ticket was booked in Tatkal from Bangalore till Alnawar by Rani Chennamma Express. From Alanwar you need to take a jeep till Haliyal and then board a bus to Dandeli.
Reaching our hotel in the morning we found nice greenery around and the chirping of birds. When you have a camera and you are interested in photography, this view is a paradise for you. Leaving our luggage, we all took out our weapons(read Camera) to shoot the birds and the greenery around.
Dandeli is a nice place for wildlife photography, bird photography, bird watching and nature walk. Apart from all this we did mountain rappelling from not a very great height(just 67ft) and few rope activities. If you are lucky enough you can do Rafting which in our case couldn't happen because of less water flow. But not very much disappointed as we had the option of roaming around in the jungle and spotting different types of birds, spiders, animals.
We could spot and capture few birds – Malabar Pied Hornbill, Malabar Grey Hornbill, Green Bea Eater, Crocodile's dentist, Adjustable Neck White Stork, Kingfisher, Woodpecker and many more of which I don't know the names. On the jungle Safari we could find lots of spiders – mainly Giant Wood Spider. This Spider is a female Spider which eats the male spiders after mating. It weaves its web in between the two trees.
We could also spot the Giant Malabar Squirrel – a beautiful animal which jumps from trees to trees. You have to run behind them for capturing them into your camera. Also on the banks of Kali river, there is a crocodile track where you would find lots of crocodiles resting lazily in the river or on the banks.
For capturing the birds and animals in Dandeli, you don't have to go to a jungle. Just go for a walk or sit around where there are more trees and that you will find anywhere in Dandeli. Dandeli seems to be a house for different varieties of birds.
This trip was more of photographs, birds and wildlife. It was real fun to run and find a better place to capture the birds sitting somewhere behind the leaves and changing their position. Overall a nice trip !!!!

The video, which is designed for a broad audience and is suitable for classroom settings, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of emergency preparedness and the role of the energy assurance plans; public awareness is a vital part of emergency preparedness and energy assurance. The Oklahoma Energy Assurance Plan was prepared by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, with the guidance of the Oklahoma State Energy Office, and in partnership with the Risk and Crisis Management Center at the University of Oklahoma.
