SACRAMENTO – In a room so secure that even Secretary of State Debra Bowen can't enter without an escort, a team of state experts is trying to hack into three electronic voting machine systems that will be used in California's first February presidential primary.
The technology professors, computer security experts and computer hackers are trying to prevent any problems similar to those that drew headlines in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.
"The voters need to feel confident that their votes are being counted," Bowen said.
The voting machines and other equipment are locked in cages when they are not being used. Documents and source codes are locked in special safes at night. The computer experts are monitored by four closed-circuit video cameras.
Despite the high security, the public can view the hacker team through closed-circuit monitors at the secretary of state's office building near the state Capitol.
Monday afternoon, what the public would have seen was six men sitting at computer terminals.
"That's really most of our job, sitting at a desk checking software," said the team's leader, Matt Bishop, a University of California, Davis, computer science professor who has helped test voting systems in Florida and Maryland.
Bishop said part of his job is to intentionally make mistakes to see if it creates problems for vote-counting machines made by three companies: Sequoia, Diebold and Hart InterCivic.
The team is to present its report to Bowen by July 23. Her decision on any necessary changes to the machines is set for early August.

In connection with raising the Great Falls Dam 35 feet, 1923-25, the new shore line was surveyed and marked during the fall of 1923. Our survey party stayed at farm houses along the river at night. Many evenings were spent listening to old-time music and joining in singing old songs. None of these were recorded. On Cane Creek Sam Brock would give the tune with his old tuning fork and the family and visitors joined in the singing. The writer wrote down the words of two songs that seemed to be favorites with the family. Of course many hymns were sung too. -A.W.C.
Some of the young ladies in the Cane Creek valley, and some not so young, had a subtle way of expressing their feelings toward a young man with a cake. They baked a plain cake with one-half inch layers and with a filling between layers much like lemon sauce except it was thicker. The cake was topped with powdered sugar.
The secret in the cake was the number of layers. Two or three meant the lady had little or no interest in the young man. Four layers indicated some interest, while 5 layers showed great interest. Six or seven layers expressed real love and the young lady would probably say, "Yes," if you asked her to marry you.

Reserves run by RSPB Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) and the Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT) have seen major failures of some species.
Breeding has been poor in guillemot, puffin, kittiwake and razorbill colonies, particularly in the west coast reserves.
Almost half of all seabirds in the EU nest around the coast of Scotland.
Previous breeding problems have been restricted to the east coast and the Northern Isles, with some birds forced to change their diet to less nutritious food after staples such as sandeels ran short.
Figures for 2005 show just four guillemot chicks present at Ceann a' Mhara on Tiree from a total of 2,173 birds.
In a normal year, there would be 1,500 chicks on this Tiree seabird colony.
On St Kilda, owned and managed by the NTS, there was a spectacular breeding failure for puffins with only 26% of burrows producing chicks, which compares to a normal figure of 71%.
Canna's kittiwake colony of about 1,000 pairs saw its worst recorded year with barely five chicks fledged, and a dearth of guillemots and razorbills was also reported on the islands of Mingulay and Berneray.
International responsibility
Other west coast colonies such as the Treshnish Isles and Handa have also seen very poor breeding seasons.
On the east coast, there has been a slight improvement on last year's near total failure.
Stuart Housden, director of RSPB Scotland, said the figures were very disappointing.
He said: "We believe last year's breeding failures were due to lack of food for seabirds as a result of warming seas along the east coast which are a result of climate change.
"This year the picture is more complex, with the problem spreading to the west. It is of great concern that some birds are having to find an alternative diet just to survive.
"This is the first time the west has been affected and we can only speculate as to why but climate change must be considered as a factor."
Richard Luxmoore, head of nature conservation at the NTS, said: "It is very worrying that places like St Kilda and Fair Isle appear to be suffering breeding failures in their seabird colonies.
"While it is normal for seabirds to suffer periodic failures, the frequency seems to have been increasing in recent years.
"Scotland has around 45% of all the seabirds in the European Union nesting on its coasts and we have an international responsibility to care for them."
The SWT has also reported a very poor breeding season on its reserves.
On Eigg, where kittiwakes would normally be expected to number 5,000, the highest number to be been seen this summer was 15.

Difficulty breathing—which is also called dyspnea—is one of the most common signs seen in animals with heart disease. Unlike humans, animals cannot complain that they are having difficulty breathing, and so recognizing this sign requires close observation of breathing rate and effort. Difficulty breathing is the result of the animal trying to get enough oxygen and, as a result, the owner will notice a more rapid or forceful nature of the breathing pattern. A dog with difficulty breathing may sit or stand with its legs in a wide stance, sometimes with mouth open, and the neck is frequently outstretched. Cats with difficulty breathing may act in a similar fashion or they may simply sit quietly or they may seek out quiet places like in a closet or under the bed.
Most dogs and cats with difficulty breathing will show the most effort when they are breathing air in (inspiration), while others may also have difficulty breathing out (expiration). Some animals will take rapid, deep breaths, and in dogs this must be differentiated from normal panting—which is rapid, shallow breaths. Exercise can cause difficulty breathing in an animal with heart disease but this must be differentiated from overexertion on a hot day, obesity or other issues such as lung disease. Occasionally, dogs will develop difficulty breathing (or coughing) when lying down or asleep. This is a common finding in dogs with severe heart disease as a result of fluid building up in or around the lungs (see Congestive Heart Failure). Many dogs with severe difficulty breathing will actually refuse to lie down because it is harder for them to breathe in this position, causing them to become distressed. Instead, they will prefer to sit or stand and an owner might even observe them trying to fall asleep in these positions.
Difficulty breathing is almost always an emergency situation and veterinary care should be sought immediately.

Characterization in Mansfield Park
In Jane Austen's novel, Mansfield Park, the characterization of the four illustrated families, the Prices, the Crawfords, the Bertrams, and the Rushworths, is used to depict the wide differences which evolved between social classes in nineteenth century England.Jane Austen introduces the main character, Fanny Price, as a reserved and modest young girl, who is settled upon observing the world.This attitude reflects the other members of the Price family, who do not worry about trivial things, but concern themselves with survival.The Crawfords, on the contrary, are concerned with frivolity more than necessity.They are bold and extravagant, and find themselves more interested in wealth than in character.The Bertrams, striving to maintain a life of luxury, struggle daily with their commitments to work, engagement, and reputation.Their lives are restless and stressful, and their concerns are numerous.Finally, the Rushworths are comfortable in their wealth and fortune. !
They take the strictest pleasure in displaying their accumulations, and have no concern except for their social activities.All of these families differ in their backgrounds and, consequently, their attitudes.Jane Austen uses a variety of details throughout her novel to stress these disparities.
Fanny's life with the Prices varies greatly from her life at Mansfield Park.The Price family worries primarily about their survival. Their love for each other is limited to the amount of time that they have in the day.The clearest example of this is Fanny's mutual love for her brother William.Fanny has always had a strong devotion to William, because her life permits her to adore him freely.The need for survival is demonstrated by Mrs. Price in her attitudes towards Henry Crawford.This attitude towards survival can also be seen by Fanny, who acts as an observer throughout the novel, rarely indulging in extravagance (Lewis 62).Finally, t…

For most couples, parenting is a natural progression and having kids is a given. And while this choice to have kids of their own, adopt, or not have them at all rests completely with the couple, people are forever interested to know when they are planning to expand their family. Once couples get married, the first question people ask is 'when will you have kids?' But all hell breaks loose when the couple decides not to have kids at all. From lecturing couples on why having kids is important to asking rather personal questions about their sex life, people cross all lines to find out why they have made this decision. If you are a couple who has decided not to have babies, we are sure you have experienced several reactions from everyone, be it close friends, family, or colleagues. Here are some common reactions couples get when they let others know about their decision.
Who will take care of you when you are old?
But every woman needs to experience motherhood!
Women are meant to have kids, how can you even think otherwise?!
Is your sex life bad?
This is insane, who has influenced you?
Your decision to not have kids is so selfish!
Kids are god's blessing, how can you say no?
Is it because you are afraid of childbirth?
We bet you've got more reactions from your friends, loved ones or even the nosy neighbour aunty for this decision.

I've been eyeing this product for a year now and have been wanting it so badly since I've seen great reviews on it with some minor bad reviews.
Right now I'm trying to achieve that Korean Natural Makeup look that Korean actresses wear. I don't want to look cakey anymore with my full coverage foundation. I mean it isn't THAT cakey but I still prefer to look as natural as possible while covering my acne scars.
As you saw in my last post, I bought a concealer to cover up my acne scars to use in conjunction with a BB cream to achieve that natural look. I figured the rest of my face that doesn't have scarring just needs light to medium coverage to even out the redness and then use concealer for the dark spots.
I literally just paypal'd over money to adambeauty.com where I purchased the Kate Mineral Gel BB Cream. Only $2 shipping! What a deal. Came out o be $18.50 total.
My package should arrive in about a week or maximum two weeks but usually it takes like 10 days for me to get it from their Hong Kong location (I might be wrong about the location).
For now I shall continue using my oatmeal to cleanse my skin to hopefully get rid of my breakout right now.
Alright once I get this product and try it out I'll do a review on it! :)
See yall later~

Ah! I used to have skin like yours...turned out my skin was too dry, and that apparently caused breakouts. Try Hada Labo if you can get it there, it worked super well to add moisture in my skin without being oily/heavy :) Perhaps you can try it!

Scott Thill lists some supposedly unfilmable geek bibles for Wired: Sandman: "It's not film-shaped," says creator Neil Gaiman. "What I got was, 'Does The Sandman have a clearly defined bad guy?' I said, 'No it doesn't,' and they said, 'Thanks for coming!'" OK, but why not, say, an HBO miniseries?

But The Dark Knight proved that America likes its Batman dark, so it's possible someday. The Invisibles: Grant Morrison's brain-bending epic stomps merrily through taboos, and its anarchist heroes are a bit like terrorists, so it's probably not big-screen material.

International Reactor Physics Experiment Evaluation Project (IRPhEP)
The International Handbook of Evaluated Reactor Physics Benchmark Experiments was prepared by a working party comprised of experienced reactor physics personnel from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, Slovenia, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States. The handbook contains reactor physics benchmark specifications that have been derived from experiments that were performed at various nuclear experimental facilities around the world. The benchmark specifications are intended for use by reactor physics personal to validate calculational techniques
The 2011 Edition of the International Handbook of Evaluated Reactor Physics Experiments contains data from 53 different experimental series that were performed at 31 different reactor facilities. Forty-eight of the 53 evaluations are published as approved benchmarks. The remaining 5 evaluations are published as DRAFT documents only. Draft documents have been reviewed by the IRPhEP Technical Review Group (TRG); however, all action items could not be completed or reviewed in time for the final publication or, in most cases, the TRG felt it necessary to review the revised evaluations before giving final approval. The Handbook is organized in a manner that allows easy inclusion of additional evaluations, as they become available. Additional evaluations are in progress and will be added to the handbook periodically.

Centre for Employment Studies Research
CESR Review: April 2008
Book reviews
(a) The Redemptive Self: Stories Americans live by. Dan P McAdams (2006), NY: OUP (390pp)
(b) Giving: How each of us can change the world. Bill Clinton
(2007), NY: Knopf (240pp)
'When I left the White House, I didn't know exactly what I would do, but I wanted to help save lives, solve important problems, and give more young people the chance to live their dreams.' In these words from the introduction to his book on Giving, Bill Clinton gives classic expression to Erik Erikson's notion of 'generativity', middle aged people's desire to contribute to the well-being of future generations.
As a construct, generativity has so far received scant attention from British investigators, although its practical manifestations in mentoring and other 'organisational citizenship behaviours' have been examined often enough. Generativity seems poised, however, to become a central theme in research concerning ageing work forces throughout the world, its prominence due in large part to a 20-year programme of research by Dan McAdams, which has won generativity a place in the mainstream of academic psychology. In The Redemptive Self, McAdams introduces this research to a wider audience, combining it with his well-known approach to narrative psychology in an analysis of the part generativity plays in American adults' self-defining life histories. Highly generative adults, it seems, tell stories which emphasise early advantage (eg exceptional gifts or favourable circumstances), empathy for others' suffering, and development of a coherent belief system which fuel the different forms of social contribution, creative and nurturant, which constitute a person's legacy to the future. For such individuals, few experiences are so negative that they cannot be transformed into a story of transcendence.
McAdams discusses ways in which generative individuals' optimistic 'redemption narratives' both tap and infuse American culture. Early chapters explore cultural scripts which draw on the defining stories of American history, characteristically American expressions of religious belief, philosophies of self-help and 'positive' psychology, and Americans' sense of being a chosen people. The tone darkens as he contrasts these often naïve and superficial accounts with slave narratives, racism endemic in American society, and the personal stories of those whose lives turn out badly. He discusses what he believes to be characteristically American resistance to exploring hidden recesses of the self, arguing that some of the appeal of the redemption narrative may lie in the reassuring self-deception and happy endings it allows. In short, at the same time as commending generativity, he shows the ambivalence, murky depths, and lack of self-awareness which often lurk beneath its surface.
Giving is Bill Clinton's exhortation to active citizenship. Its 200-odd pages tell hundreds of stories of individuals (including the very poorest) who have tried to make the world a better place. Clinton has separate chapters on different forms and contexts of giving (money, time, things, skills, reconciliation, self-perpetuating gifts, and so on). In the last part of his book, he touches briefly, and simply, on the institutional and economic context of citizenship, including corporate giving and the role of government. Very little of his analysis, however, addresses structural inequalities between rich and poor, or systemic indifference or resistance in the USA or elsewhere to the causes he advocates (such as combating poverty and climate change). Whilst he acclaims the givers, he appears to see no point in naming or shaming the takers.
This is an activist's not an academic's book. There is much here to challenge individual conscience and corporate policy. Disappointingly, there is barely a glimmer of the political analysis for which Clinton is famous. Rather, the book's tone is personal (Clinton has met most of the army of givers whose story he tells) and inspirational; it is only very rarely self-critical – as when he acknowledges having turned a blind eye to genocide in Rwanda. It is steeped in the personal empathy for which he is also famed. Although Clinton does not mention the word, his book, like McAdams', is about generativity. However, whilst Clinton may be anything but naïve concerning the darker corners of the heart and the morally ambiguous and self-serving nature of much American self-narration, he does not probe beneath the surface of his subject. He seems to have decided that this is not the place to question motivations for giving, or the social structures which make many people dependent on others' gifts. Giving, he argues, makes you happy – whether your gift takes the form of political and social activism, volunteering for a local cause, or contributing to charity. Readers who are troubled by this apparently simplistic message may find it interesting that, according to McAdams' and others' generativity research, he may often be right.

It hadn't taken very long for the slavers to cross the remaining stretch of land and arrive at the outskirts of the camp. In the meantime, the winds had picked up and darkness was beginning to descend. As Imak pulled his horse to a halt, the sands and dirt were already swirling about in small eddies that made it difficult to see more than a few feet away.
"Captain, the weather has turned bad," one of the men bellowed above the howling winds. "Urlok was right. Maybe we should turn back?"
Imak stubbornly glared over at the offending voice and snapped, "Afraid of a little bad weather? We've come this far, and I swear I'll not turn back. And just to sweeten the pot, there's double pay for every man who follows me!"
The men answered with an approving roar. The wind died down for a minute, and the outlines of the slave camp stood no more than a hundred feet away. "Forward then," Imak cried out and began urging his horse to a gallop, with everyone following close behind.

They loomed over the horizon for decades, but old port silos are coming down
The old DuPont silos have been a familiar sight for decades, hovering over the Mississippi Sound on the Port of Gulfport's West Pier.
But three of the old silos have been demolished and the fourth is being taken apart. DuPont spinoff Chemours has 15 new silos at the pier's south end.
The new silos almost double capacity for storage of ilmenite ore and other raw material. Chemours spokesman Duane Wilson said the facility also includes metering equipment that allows Chemours to blend material at the port, streamlining the operation. The Chemours plant is in Delisle.
A new tenant is leasing 36 acres on the West Pier, including the land where the old silos sat. SeaOne Gulfport is leasing that area for a trademarked Compressed Gas Liquid process to prepare a single liquid product for delivery to the Caribbean. Plans are to expand into Central America as well.

There is much to understand and a number of formulas to know in order to apply Earned Value Management (EVM). It's often the most difficult concept for project managers to learn when they are studying for their PMP exam if they have not applied it in their work. The very first step is gaining a conceptual understanding of what this thing is that we called Earned Value. Earned Value is the idea that even though we have not completed the work, there is value to the amount of work we have accomplished. How do we define value? It's usually by money, such as in dollars, but it could be by hours of labor also. Here is the basic earned value formula: BAC * (work completed / total work). BAC stands for Budget at Completion, which it the total budget for the project. This is multiplied by the percentage of work completed.
Now for the examples—if Patty's budget for her party is $1000, and the work is half done, what is her earned value? It's $500, because half the work is done and half the budget is $500.
If Carl's car re-design project has a budget of $4 million dollars, and he is one-fourth done, what is his earned value? It's $1 million, because 25% of the work is done, and 25% of the budget is $1 million.
In this example, you aren't told the percentage of work completed—that must be calculated. Shelly has $20, and wants to use it to find 10 seashell souvenirs to buy. So far, she's bought 2 seashells. What is her earned value? It's $4. BAC * (work completed / total work) = $20 * (2 seashells/10 seashells) = $4. The project work is to buy 10 seashells, so far she's bought 2, so the work is 20% complete. 20% of $20 is $4.

I am so excited for the incoming of suede this ss15! I thought I'd kick start my inevitable obsession by purchasing these suede culottes from H&M. They are amazing quality and a superb price for what they are. I'm also loving culottes at the moment, I know I'm very late to the scene here but better late than never right? I'm wearing these in a size 8 and they fit like a dream, I think they are super comfortable and flattering! These can easily be dressed up like I'm showing in this post, or down with a pair of Superstars and an oversized jumper.
I paired them here with my fave Missguided lace up heels. These instantly make any outfit stylish and interesting, don't you agree? These are still available online and I think MG are releasing adaptations of them soon as well! I'm also wearing my simple, yet stylish black polo neck tucked in so you can see the elasticated waist detail. All in all I'm very happy with this outfit. I think it is simple, yet on trend, definitely a contender for LFW?
Top - Missguided
Culottes - H&M (not online, but definitely in stores still!)
Shoes - Missguided*

I'm so excited to be able to try out the new Dial products for my son and their new baby body + hair wash for my daughter!
I received one product for each, so here they are! The first is the Dial Baby Body + Hair Wash. The second is the Dial Kids Foaming Hand Wash.
First, I'd like to write a little bit about the Dial Baby. It works incredibly good, but I'm not sure that I like it to be fragrance-free. It's really a well-made, quality formula and I'm sure the fragrance-free would work good in certain situations. I usually choose my baby's wash to be scented.
The top flips open, and it's practically a mess-free top.
The second product is the Dial Kids Foaming Hand Wash. This is scented in 'Watery Melon'.
The hand wash uses a pump dispenser.
Now, I like this one! This works incredibly good, and it smells good all the same! I am teaching my son about hygiene, so having a scented soap in the bathroom makes him want to use it. The packaging is fun, bright, and intriguing. Plus, it foams really well!
You are going to love this! But wait-- there's more! (3) of you are going to win coupons for a FREE bottle of either the Dial Baby Body + Hair Wash or the Dial Kids Foaming Hand Soap! Enter below for your chance to win!
DISCLAIMER: I received the product mentioned above complimentary for review and testing purposes.

Price was born in Seattle, Washington, and was raised Mormon. While attending Norman High School in Oklahoma, she produced and wrote a play called Here Comes the Sun, but she thought acting was "the dumbest career choice anyone could possibly make."
At Stanford University she studied economics and communication and continued to act in school productions as well as a conservatory theater in San Francisco. After a year as an investment banker, Price decided to pursue acting as a profession.
Price's first acting job was on an episode of Quantum Leap. Her first major role was starring in the series Common Law with Greg Giraldo. Other notable roles include playing Gale Ingersoll in LateLine and Claudia Finnerty in Grounded for Life. She is currently starring alongside Patrick Warburton and David Spade in Rules of Engagement.
Price currently resides in the San Fernando Valley area in California with her second husband Eddie, an ER doctor and her former high school friend, and their daughter Grace.

"There's not a data journalism bubble (IMO) but there's quite possibly a senate forecasting model bubble," tweeted Nate Silver yesterday after Election Lab was launched. Thus far, I think there are three formal forecasting models out there: ours, The Upshot's (affectionately known as Leo), and that of political scientist Alan Abramowitz. In addition, there are Silver's initial expectations (not yet formalized in a model, I believe) and the informed views of handicappers like the Cook Political Report, the Rothenberg Political Report and Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball. (The Upshot has a useful chart summarizing the views of all.)
There is a rough consensus that the GOP is likely to gain Senate seats, but no necessary consensus on whether they will gain enough to control a Senate majority. Our current forecast gives the Republicans a higher likelihood of taking the Senate (82 percent) than does The Upshot's (54 percent). The Upshot's team provided some thoughts yesterday on this discrepancy. Here are some of ours. (See also my conversation with Chris Cillizza.)
First, it's important to note how similar the models are. Both models capture whether it's a midterm or presidential year, Obama's vote share in each state in 2012, and some sense of the national mood. We capture national mood via measures of economic growth and presidential approval; The Upshot relies on the generic ballot. (In our experience, substituting one measure for the other doesn't affect the forecast very much.) Both models also have a measure of each candidate's previous highest elective office (if any).
In terms of the differences between the models, four main things stand out to me:
1) Leo is based on elections from 1992-2012, while Election Lab is based on 1980-2012. As we have noted, the time period a model uses can affect its conclusion. A model based on 1952-2012 generates more favorable forecast for the Democrats than one based on 1980-2012. To be sure, there is no one correct answer as to which time period is more appropriate. As a general rule, forecasters tend to prefer more elections to fewer — that is, more data to less data. But there is always the risk that elections from decades ago are not very similar to elections today. Moreover, certain factors — like fundraising — are not available for elections in the 1950s and 1960s.
2) Leo includes approval ratings for incumbent Senators. For example, this could affect the forecast for North Carolina. Kay Hagan's approval rating is only 41 percent, according to one recent poll. This could help explain why The Upshot sees North Carolina as a toss-up, while our current model gives Hagen an advantage.
3) Leo includes fundraising. We'll be adding this to Election Lab soon — for both the House and Senate. Preliminary analysis suggests that it will render the two sets of forecasts more similar: For example, the Democratic advantage in Hawaii, New Jersey and Minnesota will increase. Our forecast for Iowa will shift to a toss-up.
4) Leo includes polls. We'll be adding this as well. Early polls are certainly related to the eventual outcome in Senate races, but the predictive power of pre-election polls increases sharply as the campaign goes on. For this reason, Leo, like similar previous models, puts more weight on other factors than polls, but the polls could also explain a few discrepancies. Again, North Carolina comes to mind, since polls show Hagan in a tight race against her likely opponent, Thom Tillis. At the same time, the polling average suggests a 64 percent chance that she is leading Tillis — which is not that far out of line with our forecast.
So, in short, most of the discrepancies between these two models won't persist. Indeed, to the extent that these and any other models rely increasingly on a polling average as the election approaches, they'll be generating similar Senate forecasts. This is one reason why the 2012 presidential election forecasts that relied mostly or entirely on polls — 538, Votamatic, Princeton Election Consortium, Pollster — were all saying the same thing by the end of the campaign. Personally, I think it's valuable to have as many models as possible. Indeed, the average of the forecasting models is likely to be the best prediction of all.
One last question might have occurred to some readers: why roll out a forecast based on a model that's not "complete" — that is, without factors like fundraising or polls? There actually is some value in doing so, as I've written about here. A model that rolls out in a sequential fashion — as ours has here and here — helps identify the role of specific factors.
For example, the fact that an initial forecast based on 1980-2012 was favorable to Republicans told us something about the basic political landscape. Then when the forecast became more favorable to Republicans after we took into account the previous political experience of candidates, we learned something about the quality of the candidates that Republicans were recruiting.
If incorporating fundraising changes the forecast, then we'll know something else about the potential strength of the candidates. If adding polls shifts the forecast, then we can investigate what the polls might be capturing that the model isn't — especially factors unique to a race. Moreover, we'll also be able to identify whether the polls actually move toward our earlier forecasts, as often happens in elections.
In short, there are lots of ways to extract useful knowledge from a forecasting model (including even when the model proves to be wrong!). We'll have more to say about what we're learning in the coming months.

It's spring, and that means asparagus season in Massachusetts — and nothing tastes better to me than asparagus hummus accompanied by fragrant, spiced pita chips.
2 cups fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 15-1/2-ounce can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and well rinsed
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
Prepare an ice-water bath and set aside. In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and return water to boil. Cook about 4 minutes or until asparagus is cooked through and bright green. Drain asparagus and refresh in ice-water bath. After 5 minutes, drain and set aside.
In a food processor, combine chickpeas, garlic, and tahini, and puree. Add zest, juice, and asparagus, and process until smooth. With machine running, pour in olive oil and process until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with spiced pita chips.

Treating all ages Including infants and pregnant women
Neuromusculoskeletal medicine is a dynamic field that integrates knowledge from such areas as sports medicine, general medicine, orthopedics, rehabilitation, exercise physiology, and nutrition to improve the overall health and function of the individual. Osteopathic physicians (D.O.'s) specializing in Neuromusculoskeletal medicine are trained to integrate osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) into the treatment plan to improve the motion and function of the entire individual. We basically use an integrative approach to help you "reach your peak" for optimum health, function, and performance.
Neuromusculoskeletal medicine isn't just for athletes. It's principles apply to all ages, including children, adults, and geriatric patients.
How can individuals benefit from osteopathic manipulative medicine? Neuromusculoskeletal medicine looks at the body as a dynamic unit of function with structures and functions that are interrelated at all levels. Optimum health and performance require the integrated function of all of the various parts. A problem in one area, organ or system will produce both local and global effects.
For example, a simple ankle sprain can result in the transference of abnormal biomechanical forces to your knee and/or low back so that those areas are also compromised and predisposed to problems. Injuries and associated pain can also produce biochemical abnormalities that may negatively impact hormone function and alter neurotransmitters (brain chemicals). To put it simply, the entire body is connected together and can be affected by multiple biomechanical, bioenergetics and biochemical factors. Osteopathic manipulative medicine helps to optimize overall function and addresses the entire individual as a dynamic, synchronized and integrated whole.
Osteopathic physician's (D.O.'s) don't just treat bones. We look beyond just the musculoskeletal system to include the visceral, craniosacral and bioenergetics systems.
Kenneth A. Ramey, DO, FACOFP serves as the Program Director of our Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine Residency Program. Dr. Ramey is as a member of the medical staff at Sky Ridge Medical Center and has served as a team physician at both the high school, college, and semi-professional levels. He is a member of the OPP Department at Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine and integrates sports medicine, osteopathic manipulative medicine, and preventative medicine. Dr. Ramey is board certified in family medicine, neuromusculoskeletal mediosteopathic manipulative medicine and has a certificate of added qualification in sports medicine.
We use osteopathic manipulative medicine to improve motion and function throughout the entire individual in an effort to optimize health and potential.
Our neuromusculoskeletal medicine services include:
- Neuromusculoskeletal evaluation and management including osteopathic structural examination
- Osteopathic manipulative medicine – including but not limited to` general osteopathic technique, high velocity/low amplitude technique, muscle energy technique, myofascial release, visceral manipulation, Dr. Fulford's techniques and Osteopathy in the Cranial Field
- Therapeutic exercise prescription

I wanted to go for a Caroline Flack, festival style look... these shorts and boots are definitely things I could imagine her wearing.
If you like any of these things, they've all gone into the sale, really really cheap as well, so you'll have to be quick before they sell out! I'm even tempted to buy myself a back up pair of the boots, I love them so much.
I've pretty much lived in these boots since they arrived at my door, I'm sure you're all getting sick of the sight of them by now, but they're not coming off. They're just SO comfy! I'm hoping this warm weather sticks around too, because I'm wanting to wear these shorts more often than not too. If only I was going on holiday, because these are absolutely perfect.
I hope you're all having a lovely Sunday!

St. Louis -- A federal judge has permanently barred juvenile authorities from again removing all students from a discipline-minded, remote Christian reform school without a proper hearing.
U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber issued the permanent injunction Tuesday in a 163-page opinion favoring northeast Missouri's nondenominational Heartland Christian Academy.
Webber's temporary injunction, granted at Heartland's request in February 2002, came after law enforcers and juvenile officials in an October 2001 raid took 115 children from the rural complex by buses.
The latest court order bars Heartland children from being taken into protective custody without a hearing unless the child "is in imminent danger of suffering serious physical harm, threat to life from abuse or neglect, or has been sexually abused" or imminently faces such abuse.
The state still may investigate individual reports of abuse.
Scott Holste, a spokesman for Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon, noted Wednesday the injunction apparently applied only to juvenile officer Michael Waddle. Holste said Nixon's office was reviewing Webber's ruling and would not comment further.
In a statement, Waddle said that though his office still needed time to scrutinize Tuesday's voluminous opinion, it was disappointed by the findings, which Waddle called inconsistent with evidence.
"Further review of the order is to determine grounds for appeal," he said.
At the time of the raid, juvenile officers cited concern for the children's safety after a series of child abuse allegations against Heartland, which openly relies on corporal punishment. The children later were allowed to return.
In successfully pressing for the injunctions, Heartland called the removals unconstitutional seizures that violated its right to due process.
Webber again concurred Tuesday, questioning what he called the "crudely executed loading of the children like criminals on buses, in a fashion reminiscent of horror of earlier world events."
But Waddle has countered that, among other things, Webber improperly exercised jurisdiction in the matter, potentially interfering with Waddle's enforcement of Missouri child-protection laws.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last summer upheld Webber's initial injunction, ruling that Webber wisely weighed the possible harm to Heartland if it was unprotected "from the trauma of another mass roundup" of children - and the potential negatives on Waddle if the injunction were issued.
In his initial ruling, Webber expressed disgust with the videotaped raid, describing the scene of students forcibly loaded on buses as "surreal, as if captured in some totalitarian state."
The 8th Circuit later found that the injunction "successfully protects Heartland from the harms alleged without impeding Waddle's ability to do his job."
While noting Waddle's "significant public interest in protecting Missouri's children," the appellate court ruled that Webber "recognized the good work Heartland was doing with children who might otherwise 'fall through the cracks.' We cannot say that (Webber) erred in its consideration of the public-interest factor."
Webber found that another mass removal of Heartland boarding students was "a real possibility absent an injunction," resulting "in additional trauma to already troubled children, a loss of trust, and a break in the continuity of care that is so important to the Heartland children," the 8th Circuit said.
Heartland founder Charles Sharpe has strongly denied abusing any children at his remote, 20,000-acre religious complex near Bethel, about 150 miles north of St. Louis. No Heartland officials have been convicted of wrongdoing.
In recent years, Sharpe - a millionaire insurance executive - has spent more than $2 million defending Heartland against a laundry list of charges, largely over the strong forms of discipline used there. That discipline has included paddlings and, in one instance, forcing misbehaving youngsters to stand in piles of manure.
Sharpe has said such treatment was appropriate, given his unwavering belief that America's youths are falling prey to drugs, sex and violence because public institutions are godless and parents have spared the rod of corporal punishment.

U.S. airlines in race for commercial service to Cuba
Video: American Airlines wants to fly to Cuba
The first round of competition for commercial routes between the United States and Cuba opened Wednesday with American Airlines making it clear it wants its Miami hub to play a major role in the future of civil aviation between the two countries.
In an application American filed with the Department of Transportation, it requested a total of 18 daily flights from Miami International Airport to various Cuba cities: 10 daily flights to Havana, two daily flights to Santa Clara, Holguín and Varadero airports and flights once a day to Camagüey and Cienfuegos.
American also is proposing to serve Havana with daily flights from Charlotte and Dallas/Fort Worth and with weekly flights from Chicago and Los Angeles.
"In many ways American has been preparing for this day for decades.," said Doug Parker, chairman and CEO of American Airlines. "Miami-Dade County is the heart and soul of the Cuban-American community and no airline has made a greater commitment to Miami-Dade than American. We've built a world-class gateway hub in Miami."
Airlines had until 5 p.m. Wednesday to submit their route applications to DOT and most pushed it right up to the final minutes. After a few more rounds of give and take between the airlines and DOT, the routes are expected to be awarded by late spring or early summer and the first commercial flights between the two countries in more than 50 years could begin by fall.
The United States and Cuba signed an accord on civil aviation on Feb. 16 in Havana. It also allows for reciprocal service by Cuban air carriers, but U.S. officials said they didn't expect any Cuban-owned planes to be flying to the United States in the near future.
At stake are 20 daily flight frequencies to Havana, and 10 daily routes to nine other Cuban cities — Camagüey, Cayo Coco, Cayo Largo, Cienfuegos, Holguín, Manzanillo, Varadero, Santa Clara and Santiago de Cuba — for a total of 110 daily flights to Cuba. But the real battle is expected to be for the Havana routes.
Delta Airlines, for example, is asking for five daily flights — all to Havana. It is requesting two departures from MIA, and one each from Atlanta, New York's JFK and Orlando.
JetBlue wants to make Fort Lauderdale its hub for Cuba travel. It has requested four daily routes to Havana, one flight daily to Camagüey, one daily to Holguín, and once a day service to Santa Clara — all from Fort Lauderdale.
Silver Airways, which offers a number of routes between Florida and the Bahamas, has applied for scheduled air service from five Florida cities: Key West, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, and Fort Myers/Naples. It is proposing service from all those cities to Havana, as well as service to the nine other Cuban destinations from its South Florida hub in Fort Lauderdale.
"Silver Airways is making a substantial commitment to both the people of Florida and Cuba as we look forward to bridging the large Cuban-American populations in Florida to every destination possible in Cuba," said Silver President and Chief Executive Sami Teittinen. "While many airlines will apply to serve the large, lucrative Havana routes, Silver is applying to provide convenient, direct service to all 10 Cuban destinations,"
Other airlines that have expressed interest in vying for Cuba routes include United Airlines, Southwest and ultra low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines.
If the routes to the other nine airports aren't fully subscribed, it's possible commercial service to those cities could begin before fall.
State Department officials said that how many daily flights will ultimately serve Cuba depends on market demand.
"This proceeding is not an ordinary route case, and the vision of achieving fully restored scheduled air service between the U.S. and Cuba cannot be fully realized overnight," said AA's Parker.
But in its application, American tried to make the case that it is the most qualified carrier for the Miami routes.
It currently is the leader in charter services between the United States and Cuba — leasing more American planes to charter companies serving Cuba than any other U.S. carrier. Over the past 25 years, American planes have flown more than 20,000 charters.
That experience, said Parker, means "American is ready on Day 1 to offer the benefits of a full schedule of reliable frequencies to Cuba."
"We are really excited about this for Miami and for American Airlines," said Howard Kass., AA's vice president of regulatory affairs. "We hope DOT will realize how important Miami is to air traffic to Cuba." He said he expected American could begin flying regularly scheduled flights within 90 days after DOT issues its final order on the routes.
American travelers who fly to Cuba on regularly scheduled flights will still have to fall within 12 classes of authorized travel. Vacation/leisure travel still isn't allowed — although some of the Cuban destinations such as Cayo Coco and Cayo Largo are beach resorts.
"Because tourism cannot be considered, the foundation must be based on the current and expect demand for cultural, family and business travel," said J. Scott Kirby, AA president, in his DOT testimony.

This story is as confusing as it is heartwarming. The owners expressed great joy knowing their doggie will be home for Christmas but I wasn't aware that dogs came with microchips. Pardon my ignorance but I have never been a pet owner other than a few Oscars that scared my daughter so badly I had to trade them in for Gold Fish.
Back to the microchip. I know I'm late, but I recently saw the Manchurian Candidate movie where they were putting microchips in people. Is this dog chip the same thing? Is it mandatory? Does it hurt?
The dog worked so hard to come to Chester that I hate to see it leave so soon without first receiving an official welcome from the other dogs in the area. I hope Chester folks will send the dog home with a few reminders of its time in Chester and maybe a few souvenirs.
Here are 9 suggested things the dog should take back to North Carolina to remind him of his great visit to Pennsylvania's first city. You come up with the 10th.
- Bones from Charlie B's Bar-B-Que
- A bowl of Delaware River water
- Bark from a rare tree in Deshong Park
- A pedicure from Donna's Nails on 8th and Welsh
- A patch of turf from the Philadelphia Union practice soccer fields
- An honorary degree from Widener University
- An offer to become the face of Chester's Tourism Bureau
- A black & orange fire hydrant
- Does anyone have an old John's Doggie tee shirt?

A lot of times when we ski, our goals are about the superlatives. What's the most verticle we can get in a day? What's the fastest I can get up the mountian in order to get back down the fastest? Do I need fattest skis in order to shred the deepest powder? Why do a one day traverse when I could do a four day traverse? If I'm doing that, perhaps I need the lighest bag.

Amanuensis Monday – Richard S. and Mary (Corson) Corson and their Children
Three hundred years with the Corson families in America
Richard S. Corson, born Jan. 9, 1815, was the eldest son of Elias and his second wife, Abigail (Steelman) Corson. He married Mary Corson, born May 25, 1821, the daughter of John M. and Eliza (Ingersoll) Corson, on Oct. 15, 1836. They were married at the home of her parents by Rev. Mathias Jerman.
Richard S. and his family lived in Petersburg, Cape May County, N. J., for ten years, the husband and father farming part of the time and going to sea the rest of the time.
In the spring of 1845 he went to Illinois and worked on a farm north of Pleasant Plains, Illinois, to see how he liked the country. The Illinois prairies appealed to him so well that he rented a farm and sowed fall wheat, then bought a horse and went back to New Jersey on horseback.
In the spring he returned to Illinois with his wife and five children. The trip from New Jersey was made by water except from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. From thence by the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to St. Louis, then up to Illinois River to Beardstown, and from there to Pleasant Plains.
They lived for five years near Richland, Sangamon County, Illinois, then in the fall of 1850 he bought some land about five miles southeast of Pleasant Plains, Illinois, and built a home on it. The family moved into the new home on February 26, 1851, and here the parents lived the remainder of their lives. They lived to celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary on October 16, 1901. (From information from Fannie E. Corson of New Berlin, Illinois, and Nellie R. (Corson) Soderburg of Dwight, Kansas.)
Richard S. and Mary Corson had thirteen children, two of whom died young, one was killed in the Civil War, nine married, eight of these leaving descendants. At this time the descendants of this remarkable family are scattered over the western part of the United States from Illinois to the Pacific Coast. The following are the children:
122461 Asail Corson, born Feb 26, 1838
122462 Abigail Corson, born Oct 24, 1839
122463 Sarah Elizabeth Corson, born Aug 7, 1841
122464 Townsend Corson, born Aug 17, 1843
122465 Richard Corson, born Mar 9, 1845
122466 Mary Ann Corson, born Feb 9, 1847
122467 Margaret Corson, born Jan 19, 1849
122468 John Foster Corson, born May 1, 1851
122469 Elias Corson, born Apr. 27, 1855, died Sept 5, 1856
12246:10 Emily Frances (Fannie E.) Corson, born May 20, 1857
12246:11 Elias Corson, born July 30, 1859, died Mar 24, 1862
12246:12 Winfield Scott Corson, born Jan 3, 1862
12246:13 Ida May Corson, born Oct 25, 1866
Richard S. Corson died Dec 7, 1901, and Mary Corson died Aug 23, 1909. They are buried in Bethel Cemetery, Pleasant Plains, Illinois.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun – If I Knew Then What I Know Now…
by Sherry Stocking Kline
06 June 2011
It's a couple of days past Randy Seaver's June 4th Saturday night challenge, but this challenge really resonated with me! If only I could turn back the clock or jump into a time machine and re-do a few things!
Greetings, genea-philes. it's SATURDAY NIGHT – time for more GENEALOGY FUN!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:
1) On GeneaBloggers Radio last night (www.blogtalkradio.com/geneabloggers/) the discussion turned to regrets that we all have about our genealogy and family history experiences. Someone said "If I knew then, what I know now, I would have…" I thought that it would make a good SNGF topic, and it may be a general topic on a future GeneaBloggers Radio show.
2) Tell us about your "If I knew then what I know now, I would have…" regret in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this blog post, or in a Facebook status or note.
High on my list of wish I could re-do is the opportunity to document my sources better from the very beginning, so if you are in the same boat, check out Randy Seaver's June 4th Saturday Night Genealogy Challenge at www.geneamusings.com! When I first started, I had so few family 'lines' going, and I really, truly believed I would remember where each piece of information came from. And, frankly, I just wasn't thinking.
But it isn't the citations and sources I most wish I could re-do. It's the missed opportunities to ask the people who would (or might) actually KNOW the answers to questions that I now want to ask them. Oh, if only.
1. I wasn't into genealogy when I was eight years old (that's how old I was when my Grandmother Jones died), but if I could ask her now, I would ask her what she knew about her father-in-law's father (he's a huge Jones brick wall!). Did she know his name? Did he even know his own father's name? What was herding cattle all day on horseback in Nebraska like when you were barely old enough to attend school? How scared were you when the Indians stopped by your home to get food? Did they ever come back? Which one of the two young ladies in the neat photo you left behind is your niece, and which is her friend?
2. And oh, if only I could hear my Grandmother Stocking re-tell her stories of my father's childhood? Why didn't I write them down? I was only ten, eleven, or maybe twelve, but how I wish I had taken the time to write them down. Now, it is only bits and pieces that I remember. I know the horses spooked, and my dad got hurt. His teeth poked a pretty good hole in his lip. But what spooked the horses? I don't remember. And if only I could ask her where the farm was where she grew up in Illinois? What was it like? What schools did she attend? Now, I will spend hours, and days, and still never have all the answers. And the one question I really wanted to know when I was in grade school, who was our Native American ancestor? What was his/her name? Were they actually Cherokee? Where did they live/come from?
3. And why didn't I think to ask my Great-Aunt Dr. M. Ethel McGinnis more questions about her fascinating life as a teacher, professor, and gifted student? And her life with my grandmother Stocking when they were children?
I have many more 'if only's' but they all involve asking my much older relatives questions that I wasn't interested in knowing the answers to for many, many more years.
If. Only.
SNGF – My Santa Genealogy Wish List
It's Saturday Night! And below is the SNGF Challenge from Genea-Musings Randy Seaver!
Cue up your "Mission Impossible" music, or maybe you really ought to turn on your favorite Christmas Songs! Either Way, Enjoy!
Welcome to SNGF — it's Saturday Night, time for more Genealogy Fun!
We had a great response last week to our Dear Genea-Santa wish list – thank you all for posting – perhaps you can use that post as a start for the upcoming Canrival of Genealogy with the topic of "Dear Genea-Santa." My apologies for duplicating the theme last week.
I think that we all want lots of imaged and indexed databases online for our pajama-clad viewing pleasure… so for this week's SNGF, let's express our wishes for databases we want the genealogy companies to bring to us:
1) Define one or more genealogy or family history databases, that are not currently online, that would really help you in your research. Where does this database currently reside?
2) Tell us about it/them in a blog post on your own blog or GenealogyWise or Facebook, in a comment to this blog post, or in a comment to this post on Facebook.
This one is really easy.
I've sat at my computer in sweats and jammies in the wee hours many nights just wishing that every small-town's newspaper where my ancestors (and my family here, for that matter!) lived in were on-line and available for research.
Just think! You could do your census and then check for the obituaries!
Indexed, too? Oh, be still my heart!
The problem with that is, I believe, financial. For the companies who are making this kind of wonderful technology available. Say for Ancestry.com to want to do this, they would probably want to justify the numbers.
So just how many descendants might be looking?
Many of my ancestors lived in very rural areas, and the tiny town newspaper I might be searching for might be serving a population of less than 500. Maybe even a lot less.
I figure my great-grandfather now has somewhere between 2 and 3 hundred descendants. If everyone in my tiny town of Mayfield, Population then about 100, (area population maybe another 3 to 4 hundred) population now about 100, (area population probably a bit lower now) had 200 descendants looking, they might only be talking about 3,000 to 5,000 individuals at the max who might be looking?
Anyone want to guess with me?
On the other hand, there are always peripheral family members researching family, so could the number looking be higher?
And my tiny town had a newspaper for less than a year, so it wouldn't take them long to scan, so is that a plus or a minus?
On the other hand, if there were actually 5 to 6 thousand plus individuals involved what percentage of those would be researching and paying a monthly or yearly subscription to access this information. And will those numbers ever justify scanning the small-town newspapers? I sure hope so!
Anyhow, that's my wish, Santa!
Anyhow, that's my wish, Santa, so I hope you and your elves can make this happen. (That's Kansas, Santa, land of the South Wind, and I've got lots of ancestral ties to Illinois, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania, too)
Dare I hope that the new Kindle-type technology that Apple and various others will soon have available might just include the capability to view this info while sitting at home or at your favorite brick and mortar library?
Dare I to dream?
If so, I may just start on my 2010 Christmas list right now….

The USC Trojans made a big recruiting splash on Saturday, as 2016 linebacker Daelin Hayes of Orchard Lake Saint Mary's (Mich.) verbally committed to play for the Trojans, making him the first commit for USC in the class-of-2016 and the first Michigander to join the Trojans since current Green Bay Packers hybrid linebacker and defensive end Nick Perry.
Hayes announced his commitment to play football in Southern California via Twitter:
Beyond Blessed to announce that I have Committed to play football at the University Southern California
#FightOn ✌ http://t.co/LSwuknF3kE—
⚡Daelin Hayes⚡ (@DaelinHayes_24) July 26, 2014
There is no denying that Hayes is huge commitment for the Trojans. The St. Mary's star had more than ten scholarship offers which included offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State and Tennessee.
While some may be surprise that he decided to verbally commit now, considering he still has another two years of prep football to play at Orchard Lake St. Mary's before heading out to college, Hayes tells 247sports.com that USC is the perfect for him.
Hayes has been at USC all week, his first time checking things out.
"Everything from start to finish was hands down amazing," Hayes told 247Sports. "USC is the perfect fit for me as a student, as a player and as a person.
"Great academics, great football, great people. Fight on!"
The future U.S. Army All-American, is every bit of what the Trojans want in a linebacker. As of right now, Hayes is rated the No. 6 outside linebacker in the class of 2016 by 247Sports and No. 1 in the state of Michigan.
At 6-foot-3 and 227-pounds, Hayes already has the division-one frame and the scary thing is, he is still growing. If that's enough, Hayes has the strength and technique to take on physical blocks and wrap up his opponents in the back field or open field, but he also has the speed, athleticism and instincts to handle running backs and tight ends in pass overage, making him a versatile linebacker, who could provide the Trojans plenty of plays.
Most importantly, Hayes is a hard-working young man who is a true student of the game.
"I can guarantee that coach, I will be the hardest working player on his team." Hayes told TheDZone.net. "I would also let the coach know he would get a leader. My work ethic is something I take serious pride in."
If your Trojan fan, who is worried about Hayes changing his mind, I wouldn't be, because according to Allen Trieu, Hayes says he's 100% for the Trojans, even if others keep recruiting him.
Daelin Hayes' "flat-out amazing" visit to #USC ends in commitment; says he's 100% even if others keep recruiting him: recruiting.scout.com/story/1426625—
Allen Trieu (@AllenTrieu) July 27, 2014
Overall, this is a great pick-up for the Trojans and even better, this is a great moment for Hayes who has worked hard and was finally able to make his dream come true today by telling his mom she doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.
Moment when you tell mom she doesn't have to worry about anything anymore. None of this would be possible without her http://t.co/CoodwGKSlT—

It's my cease on the Paper Obsessed weblog tour , and I figured I'd share a little something old and new. Hang the bat house dealing with an open area, preferably with a southern exposure to maximize the amount of warmth from the solar. I've corrected the dimensions, and I hope this helps to make constructing this bluebird home a fun and profitable project. Work and jobs are also Sixth House points, but jobs that are much less vital than careers, which is a Tenth House concern. The early 1900s saw massive row home developments when builders created entire new neighborhoods.
The first time was when the home was bank-owned in 2012 and being shown for an open home. They swoop quite shut around the home though they don't dwell anyplace near us and then at present we sat in a chicken store about to eat hen and salad for lunch and one flew contained in the Restaurant. Shortly after we bought this property, we planted rows of timber and bushes to behave as a windbreak on two of our boundary fences, thinking it might solely be essential to bucket water them for a short time before the rainy season arrived and nature took care of them. A easy drum and guitar model with notes and TAB for The House of the Rising Sun Use this with the chords in the picture to do your own cover model of House of the Rising Sun. Where I currently dwell is kind of windy, however we don't have bushes dropping leaves close to the home.
The rule-of-thumb within the U.S. is a purchaser will deduct 1.5 to 2x the cost of getting the repair completed. Of course, in case you occur to live in a house for a while without experiencing any type of haunting exercise, however all of the sudden it begins, you are dealing with a lost soul. However, all House committee clerks are liable for recording audio of every public hearing. Tiny House Town is also a blog and does not independently promote tiny houses and/or tiny home plans. With a switch pump, we had been additionally in a position to place a small tank above the extent of the home roof, into which we pump water for gravity feeding into the toilet.
But I even have cherished all of the ladies over the years and I suppose that Porshia is an effective addition to this season I think she is as cute as a button however I'm not fairly sure about Kenya, I assume she is slightly beside herself. If I were you I'd write to the Council (write, not phone) and level out to themm that there's 3′ of water under the ground and that this can lead to structural issues in the house. In the entrance garden of the home is a Mango tree, a bougainvillaea, and or a Frangipani. Restored within the Sixties, the house maintains it's original stairway and ornate ceiling moldings in the parlor and eating room.
If you watched you have got rising damp you will need to get it checked out by an expert as early therapy will often be cheaper and delaying remedy can result in further issues. An outdated wives' tales from the Ozarks and other areas within the U.S. say that sure birds flying into the home are a bad omen, significantly turtle-doves. Power factors – Check that there are adequate power factors and retailers in the right locations for the best way you ant to make use of the house. I just spoke to Blu Homes, they can't construct a house for underneath $350,000 (two bed room).

Fire Catcher Productions was created by Michael Arnold, an award winning multimedia veteran and entrepreneur, for the purpose of writing and producing stories of redemption and love. The Fire Catcher is the name of Arnold's autobiography – obviously, spewing over to name the production company, and this site.
Michael, an United States Army Combat Special Forces Security Veteran of Vietnam – (As his daughter's say "My dad was Rambo before Rambo) has dealt with P.T.S.D. most of his adult life – he credits God's Grace for healing him from those wounds of affliction. Yet, even while carrying scars, Michael managed much success in his career as a television executive, advertising consultant, agency owner, author/writer, producer, media consultant and business owner. Most recently, he has focused his energies on writing inspirational stories for book and screen. Having released his autobiographical memoir: The Fire Catcher, in 2013, Michael returned to one of his first loves in 2014 when he began writing and producing films. Writing "The Colors of Emily' in 2014, he soon followed with "The Reins Maker" in 2015 and then "College Bound: Window of Hope" – a feature film that Michael wrote inspired by Isabella Santiago, a 14 year old "taken" victim of Human Trafficking in Arnold's days as an undercover social worker while in College. Two other scripts Michael has just finished are Inspirational Romantic Dramas – "Certificate of Completion" – in which Arnold calls it his best work yet, is a mix between "Love Story" and "National Treasure" with emphasis on Unconditional Love as a message. The Other is 'Come Thursday Morning' – in treatment and novel form. A single dad of three daughters and six grandchildren, Michael has spent many years walking through the fires and trials of life – "It's here where God refines us, so cherish those difficult times with Praise, it's why He provides the fires" – an award-winning sports producer, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur, Michael has also served as a Sunday school teacher, youth counselor, coach, emcee, and awards program host. Michael thanks God for each breath and seeks to serve Him through sharing his own true and compelling story along with those which God places on his heart to write and share.
Michael currently lives in Evansville, Indiana, where he enjoys writing, reading, tennis, public speaking, and spending time with his family.

Apple Crisp
Posted on October 28, 2014 by Viji
When the days turn to cool and crisp, Maanas starts craving for the smell of cinnamon from the fresh baked apple crisp. One of my favorites to make, this could be as healthy and easy a dessert can get. The tartness from the fresh cranberries and pomegranates perfectly balancing the sweetness of the apples, the oats and the walnuts giving the perfect crunch, and the coconut oil making it vegan, this apple crisp is our favorite all natural, guilt-free dessert!
Except for the apples and a basic topping with flour, oil and maple syrup, everything else in this recipe is optional and can be easily played around with or totally omitted. That is the beauty of this recipe. Also, there is no need for any exact measurement. Whatever we do, the result is always a delicious apple crisp!
I find mixing a variety of apples makes it tastier than using just one type. I also feel anything made with oil turns out crispier than with butter. Coconut oil, not adding any particular flavor after baking, makes a perfect choice. According to the Ayurveda, honey becomes toxic when it is heated above 40° C (104° F). So, when it comes to substituting sugar, I use honey if no heating is involved, and for baking, I go with maple syrup. The use of ginger with apple is quite accidental. Once we happened to have a fresh apple juice with cinnamon, ginger and lime and all of us loved it so much and ever since I started adding ginger and lime juice to apples, any time I bake with them. The tartness, the seasonal cranberries and pomegranate add along with the health benefits makes them find their place in this dessert. Instead of slicing the apples, I cut the bottom of the apple and scooped the flesh out using a melon baller, to get the perfect cups for serving. These small things make the kids get excited and they love eating the crunchy cups in the end. No wasting of the healthy peels either.
Apple Crisp
The baking dish I used is 1 1/2″ deep with approximately 10″ in diameter.
Apple filling
- 5-6 apples, mixed variety
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- one pinch of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- a handful of fresh cranberries and pomegranate seeds
- Half of a key lime
- one inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
Snip the stems off the apples. Cut the bottom of the apples and scoop the flesh out into the baking dish using a melon baller. Add maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, cranberries and pomegranate seeds. Squeeze the lime and ginger. Add one tablespoon of the oats powder (from Crumble topping ingredients below). Toss them all to combine.
note: If you are using lime, cranberries and pomegranate, then go with more sweet apple varieties else use of a mix of sweet and tart varieties.
Crumble topping
- 2 cups rolled oats – grind 1 cup to a powder in a blender.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- one pinch of salt
- a handful of walnuts, chopped
- 5 teaspoons of maple syrup
- 5 teaspoons of coconut oil ( cold and solid)
Preheat the oven to 400F.
In a bowl, mix the oats and the oats powder, cinnamon, salt, walnuts and the maple syrup, by hand. Cut the coconut oil in to make a coarse crumble.
Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the apple filling. Bake for about 40 minutes until the apple juice is bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm.
According to wikipedia,"Many high-profile chefs of the 21st century have publicly denounced the combination of apple crisp and ice cream. This is because, as the ice cream melts, it mixes with the apple and undermines the crumbles texture, which is an integral part of the popular dessert." Moreover why not enjoy this healthy dessert as it is.
