Making sure systems can work effectively together (interoperability) has been a key problem for the Department of Defense (DOD) yet integral to its goals for enhancing joint operations. Given the importance of being able to share intelligence data quickly, we were asked to assess DOD's initiative to develop a common ground-surface-based intelligence system and to particularly examine (1) whether DOD has adequately planned this initiative and (2) whether its process for testing and certifying the interoperability of new systems is working effectively.
DOD relies on a broad array of intelligence systems to study the battlefield and identify and hit enemy targets. These systems include reconnaissance aircraft, satellites, and ground-surface stations that receive, analyze, and disseminate intelligence data. At times, these systems are not interoperable--either for technical reasons (such as incompatible data formats) and/or operational reasons. Such problems can considerably slow down the time to identify and analyze a potential target and decide whether to attack it. One multibillion-dollar initiative DOD has underway to address this problem is to pare down the number of ground-surface systems that process intelligence data and upgrade them to enhance their functionality and ensure that they can work with other DOD systems. The eventual goal is an overarching family of interconnected systems, known as the Distributed Common Ground-Surface System (DCGS). To date, planning for this initiative has been slow and incomplete. DOD is developing an architecture, or blueprint, for the new systems as well as an overarching test plan and an operational concept. Although DCGS was started in 1998, DOD has not yet formally identified which systems are going to be involved in DCGS; what the time frames will be for making selections and modifications, conducting interoperability tests, and integrating systems into the overarching system; how transitions will be funded; and how the progress of the initiative will be tracked. Moreover, DOD's process for testing and certifying that systems will be interoperable is not working effectively. In fact, only 2 of 26 DCGS systems have been certified as interoperable. Because 21 of the systems that have not been certified have already been fielded, DOD has a greater risk that the new systems will not be able to share intelligence data as quickly as needed. Certifications are important because they consider such things as whether a system can work with systems belonging to other military services without unacceptable workarounds and whether individual systems conform to broader architectures designed to facilitate interoperability across DOD.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DCGS program management placed the certification process on the Interoperability Watch List. Two systems have been certified for interoperability and 22 of 26 systems identified in GAO's report have developed formal certification plans.
Recommendation: To ensure that systems critical to an effective DCGS are interoperable, the Secretary of Defense should take steps needed to enforce its certification process, including directing the service secretaries in collaboration with the Joint Staff, Acquisition Executives, and the Joint Interoperability Test Command to (1) examine reasons the services are slow to comply with its certification requirement, and (2) mechanisms that can be implemented to instill better discipline in adhering to the certification requirement.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The FY 2004 Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 108-136) directed DOD to create a Defense Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Integration Roadmap. The roadmap for DCGS was incorporated into the larger effort and the final report was issued in May 2005. In the Roadmap, DOD indicated that the investment strategy was the program of record as of the FY 2006 president's budget. The Integration Roadmap will be updated periodically.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence to develop an investment strategy to identify what funds are available, both for the initial phases of the DCGS migration and transition to the target architecture, and whether there are gaps or constraints that need to be addressed.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The FY 2004 Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 108-136) directed DOD to create a Defense Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Integration Roadmap. The roadmap for DCGS was incorporated into the larger effort and was published in May 2005.
Recommendation: To ensure that an effective Distributed Common Ground-Surface System is adequately planned and funded, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence to expand the planning efforts for DCGS to include a migration plan or road map that as a minimum lays out (1) current system capabilities and desired capabilities; (2) specific initiatives, programs, projects and schedules to get DOD and the services to their goal; (3) measures to gauge success in implementing the migration plan as well as the enterprise architecture; and (4) mechanisms for ensuring that the plan is followed.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: DOD increased funding by $750,000 in FY 05 and 06 to improve Joint Interoperability Test Command's ability to oversee DCGS testing and certification. Funding for specific test events continues to be responsibility of the services.
Recommendation: If lack of funding is found to be significant barrier, the Secretary of Defense should consider centrally funding the DCGS certification process as a pilot program.

The battles have grown in earnest in Libya. Muammar Gaddafi, seeing his grip on Libya slipping away, has stepped up his offensive, launching an assault on the oil and port city of Berga early in the morning. The protesters fought valiently as gunfire ripped through the night air to keep the pro-government forces at bay. All this as Gaddafi, in another speech of unimaginable confusion, claimed that there was no opposition to his rule and that the uprising was at the hands of foreigners and a conspiracy of the west. And yet photos from of protesters holding signs refuted this maddening delusion.
Later in the day, as the protesters were celebrating an important defensive victory, fighter jets bombed the town, with several correspondents of Al Jazeera on hand to witness and spectacularly photograph the explosions. Four people were killed in the attacks and many more were injured, and the terror of the ever-looming air forces spiked in the hearts and minds of those in opposition-held areas, including Benghazi. When an where, they surely wonder, will the next air raid come?
Wednesday, a day which was stamped with events of importance around the world (including a lethal assault on American soldiers in Germany and the suspected murder of a prominent activist in Saudi Arabia at the hands of state security), found the world's eyes squarely fixed on the unfolding events in Libya as the protesters continued to fight long after that lethal air raid, and news of the region continued to surface throughout the afternoon through various news sources and the internet.
Among the news was the capture of a pro-government commander in Misurata, including his communications equipment (which was of American origin), and battles that continued to be won against a sporadic but near constant offensive by pro-Gaddafi forces. At the Tunisian border, the crisis of days past also seemed to lessen, although conditions continued to be poor and the government threatened to prevent refugees from fleeing the country. And mercenaries, paid by Gaddafi to fight against the protesters, have continued to be captured in larger numbers, with Al Jazeera reporting a total of between 50-60 this week.
And yet reports were not all in favor of the opposition. Twitter posts have reported family members of those in Benghazi who continue to reside in Tripoli are being captured, and continued evidence of torture by the Gaddafi regime are being uncovered by protesters. A funeral was also held today for man who died in an assault that he should have survived but for lack of proper and adequate medical care, and Al Jazeera has reported that Gaddafi forces are "throwing patients from windows," kidnapping children, detaining activists, and starving prisoners to death. And late this evening, an unconfirmed distress call has surfaced online purported to be from Berga warning of an impending "massacre" at the hands of truckloads of mercenaries, beginning for deliverance from God.
The United Nations, the Arab League and the African Union continued to deliberate the possibility of enforcing a no-fly zone in the air space above Libya to protect protesters. And the International Criminal Court launched an initial investigation into possible war crimes committed at the hands of Gaddafi, with a promise for further details to be released tomorrow. And world leaders are taking ever stronger stances against the intense violence as the protesters further organize, grow in number and strength, and prepare for an all-important offense that must come soon to liberate Tripoli. Gaddafi's rule, it seems, may be nearing its end.
And yet, so much fighting is yet to come. Where peaceful uprising prevailed in Egypt and Tunisia, it seems inevitable that the people of Libya will tragically have to purchase their freedom with blood, thanks to the madness of Gaddafi, who seems content to die. The hearts and minds of the world, desperate but unable to meaningfully help, will be watching anxiously as the people rise, take their arms and tell this ruthless dictator that has ruled for four decades that they will no longer stand for his tyranny.
The rest of the Middle East, and alas the world, should take notice and take heed; nothing, not even oppression and violence, can stand between the determined and undaunted masses when the freedom they crave is at hand.

I have learned over my 62 years of reading the bible, that there are two ways to approach God about my need or for obtaining His help. I can make a VOW, 0r I can approach Him in FAITH. A vow deals in 'hope'. But you can't make a 'vow OF faith', – or a 'vow IN faith.'
I'll explain the VOW approach:
If I approach God with a request for help, and couple it with making Him a promise, it will sound similar to this; EXAMPLE: "Oh God, I believe you are out there somewhere, will you help me out of this mess I'm in? I will always love you and I will follow your advice in the scriptures. I will do something for somebody, or I will stop doing this or that, or begin to do this or that, etcetera, etcetera…." A' vow' will always ask God to move first, – with a following promise from us!
This method is called "making a vow" in the scriptures. It is a dealmaking approach, – it is legal! It was done several times by personalties in the bible and with desirable results.
This was done mostly in the First Testament under Moses law. Simply stated; – a vow is making a deal with God. We are asking Him to move first,- and then trust us to keep our promise. This is sometime referred to as a "foxhole prayer." I.e; "…Oh God, if you will get me out of here alive, I promise I'll do whatever you want me to do for the rest of my life." There is no telling how many times this kind of prayer was used in 'World War 11'. And no doubt, very often successful. The giant killer David, said these following words to God in Psalms; "…I will pay you my vows… which my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble." It is an acceptable way to approach God.
However,- there is a downside to using this approach for help. It is our humanity! We make promises that we sometimes don't keep -when once the heat is off. We're imperfect humans, and we can forget. It appears that God only forgets when we repent! If God answers our petition for help based on the conditions we gave Him,- and then we don't keep 'our end of the deal', it can compound our problems.
[Read Ecclesiastes 5: verses 1 and 2 in your bible.] Those words are not very complimentary to a person who makes a vow and then doesn't follow through on their part of the deal. The fallout can be pretty severe.
Because a vow is made on a deal of our choosing,- if I then don't then follow through on my part after God has done His part, – the legals of "law keeping" kick in. We step back into the old covenant system when we make a vow. It was an "An eye for an eye and tooth for tooth system." It works similar to probation. If I am given clemency based on an agreement, or a promise, and then don't fulfill my agreement and keep my promise, – my troubles will compound! Many people have created this kind of problem in their life because of this approach, and then don't realize what is causing their continual dissapointments. They ponder questions like;" Why don't things get better for me?" or, "Why is it that nothing I do seems to work for me?"
Before you set these thoughts aside, – I strongly recommend that you read the above mentioned verses in the bible. I would suppose there is a place for this "vow" approach even today, in an extreme emergency situation. But there is a better system in place now…,
Give this some meditation! If you know of an agreement you made with God, that is in your history, – Correct it and fulfill it if you can, if not ask God to forgive you for your failure, – and He will! God is quick to forgive,- 'when we acknowledge our failure,' – and ask Him!. Now observe the following- 'FAITH approach.'
If I go to God in 'grace through faith' , I am then moving into the New Testament system, which was instituted when Jesus rose from the dead. I am no longer operating under the legal rules of 'law keeping.'
The 'grace through faith approach' will sound similar to this: "Oh Father God, author of grace and mercy, I am in a mess, and I really need your help. I love you, and I trust you, and I believe in you. I believe your promises are for me. Here is what I need help for; [such and such, and etcetera.] I am doing everything I know to do to be pleasing in your sight. If there is something I am not doing, or should be doing, please forgive me and let me know what I can do to correct it. I am leaning on your love for me and your stated promise to "listen when I call." Open my eyes and let me see what I need to know. I will be careful to do what you tell me to do. Thank you for your love and willingness to help me in this situation. I want to thank you in advance for helping me right now! I offer this prayer in Jesus Holy name." This method is applying what Jesus has done for us. Then God sees us through the prism of Jesus' perfection and applies it to us. This is "grace" not law. This is clearly a New Testament way to pray!
Following that prayer, I will then do something to help someone else with their problem. Or I will give God an offering to something that I know God is interested in. I will be quick to make some kind of move as an act of faith and confidence in God. I will forgive someone for a transgression they did to me, or against me. This works by the law of "seedtime and harvest." What I sow is what I reap. What I do toward others finds a way to come back to me. We are then applying the 'law of grace' through the sacrifice that Jesus has made for us. SELAH! (meditate this)
When we move in faith, we will always move first, i.e. [pay our tithe, give an offering, or do something to help somebody else with their problem, etc] – and then trust God to do His part. In this approach, we are not trying to earn it. We are relying on "grace through faith." It is relying on what Jesus has already done.
God can always be trusted. "JESUS NEVER FAILS."
God made the first move toward us when He gave us His son to redeem us. What we do in return is done in faith , – to embrace what He has done for us. Someone said it this way; "God is a good checker player; – when it is our turn to move, – He waits." It pleases God when I trust Him and show faith in His integrity.
Summary: A vow says; "God, you move first and then trust me to do my part. " Faith says; "God, I will move first, – then trust you to help me."
Which way does your heart tell you to pray? Selah! GD

Horn Harbor
836 Horn Harbor Rd.
Burgess, VA
The middle of nowhere.
It's the best of places and the worst of places to find great places to eat and drink.
Some of this country's most legendary seafood shacks, fish camps, BBQ joints and redneck bars are located down dirt roads and on backwater inlets far from anywhere.
The middle of nowhere. That's where you'll find them.
No body just "passes through" the Northern Neck on his way to somewhere else.
There is no somewhere else to go. The Northern Neck is a dead end.
Keep going until you can't go any further and you'll run into Horn Harbor -- at the dead end of a back woods farm road at the dead end of this peninsula by the Chesapeake Bay.
But as I've discovered the hard way over the years, just because most legendary eating and drinking joints are located in the middle of nowhere, doesn't mean that every middle of nowhere joint is legendary.
Far from it.
On previous visits to Horn Harbor, I'd get all giddy with excitement about the possibilities of this place.
Horn Harbor LOOKS like it should be legendary.
Sitting hard against the Great Wicomico River smack dab in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay's seafood bounty, patronized by farmers, watermen and other assorted salty rough necks, this should be the kind of place that serves the very best the surrounding waters have to offer at bargain basement prices.
The kind of place you brag about to your friends when they commit a crime like ordering the "Seafood Trio" at your neighborhood Applebee's.
"Dude, what are you doing?"
Suit757 can be somewhat obnoxious about these sorts of things.
"I need to take you to this place I know right on the Chesapeake Bay where the oysters are the size of your flip-flop and they pluck the crabs fresh out of the water. All you can eat for ten bucks. And one dollar drafts too!"
Well, okay, those kind of places are getting harder to find. But you know what I'm talking about.
For centuries, oysters were the primary industry of the Northern Neck. The rivers and inlets of this remote section of the bay produce some of the best oysters you can find.
And you can't drop a chicken neck into the water in these parts without attracting an assembly of Chesapeake Bay blue crabs.
I mean, you'll pay an arm and a leg for good Chesapeake Bay seafood like that at a restaurant in New York City.
But right here on the banks of the bay, where they just have to reach over and pluck it out of the water? It should be dirt cheap, right?
Not exactly.
Memories of a half dozen tiny rubbery fried oysters thrown on a paper plate for twenty bucks produced great resistance to any repeat patronage.
But the promise of new management prodded me to give the place another try.
That, and the fact that there is absolutely nowhere else to eat in the entirety of Northumberland County.
When I come to a waterfront seafood restaurant like this there is no question where I'm going to sit.
Outside. Right on the water.
As the Great Wicomico lapped against the pilings and deck boards under my feet, I breathed in the thick salt air and took a big swig of my 22 ounce Sierra Nevada draft.
Sierra Nevada? In the Northern Neck?
Maybe this place has turned around.
Any lingering doubts were erased by the time the appetizers arrived.
My oyster stew, a Northern Neck tradition for centuries, was even better.
Butter. Cream. Oysters. Parsley. That's it.
Just when I thought life can't get any better, it did.
My fried oysters and crab cake dinner presented themselves tableside.
Those tiny oysters on a paper plate? Just a distant bad memory.
For about the same price, these reincarnated Horn Harbor oysters were presented on a bright cobalt blue fish-shaped plate accompanied by cole slaw and decent hush puppies.
The fried oysters were hefty, juicy and salty, encased in a crunchy batter. Fried seafood perfection.
As good as those oysters were, nothing could prepare me for my first forkful of crab cake as I punctured the fried crispy exterior to get to the soft succulence within.
Big clumps of fresh crab meat, perfectly seasoned with Old Bay and held together by just the scantest trace of bread crumbs, these are the crab cakes I dream about when I am far from the shores of the Chesapeake.
By the time I polished off my seafood feast, downed my last swig of Sierra Nevada and paid my tab, I was excited.
Real excited.
I have a new place to brag about. And a new reason to be obnoxious.
"Dude. You don't know what you're talking about.
"I know this little place right on the Chesapeake Bay where you can get the best oysters and crab cakes you'll ever eat. You can sit right outside on the water. With Sierra Nevada on tap!
"But don't worry. Keep living in your timid little Red Lobster/Golden Coral world. You'd never find it any way.
"It's in the middle of nowhere."

We're excited to have launched a new coffee service that provides an amazing opportunity for our coffee loving customers to enjoy our best coffees at many locations across the city.
Our innovative work in sourcing excellent green coffee has allowed us to build a number of relationships with small producer associations that are now yielding truly remarkable coffees. We think these are among the best coffees available and represent the remarkable ability of these producers to grow and deliver amazing quality. To date we have been limited to offering our best coffees in our 12oz bags and we would love nothing more than to make them available by the cup at our coffeehouses across town. Our new pour over service is what allows us to do this.
Pour over is not exactly a new invention – manual pour over has been around for decades and perfecting various pour over methods has been the focus of professional baristas around the world over the past decade. We have had a limited pour over offering ourselves at the roastery since we opened in 2012.
The difficulty with manual pour over is that the process is fairly volatile and carries a high probability of bad extraction. Manual brewing involves carefully heating a kettle to an exact temperature, using a scale to measure out coffee and water, and getting the pouring technique and timing exactly right. There is a reason why there is a world championship for manual brewing…
Happily, new technology has made pour over very repeatable and efficient and we're very pleased to be using some rather nice new equipment in our pour over service that eliminates the lack of repeatability normally inherent to the process. Using a high quality grinder with a built-in scale and an under-counter, programmable water dispenser allows us to have confidence that each pour over we serve will be a great expression of the coffee we're using.
Pour over takes full advantage of our supply of remarkable coffees, often the result of the work that our coffee buying team does travelling the world and working closely with supply partners and producers to find the best coffees in the communities where we buy. By making these coffees more easily available to enjoy by the cup we are working to improve the opportunity of talented producers to sell more of their coffee for high, quality-driven price premiums.
Currently on the pour over rotation we have the best coffee from Ecuador we've ever bought, along with a very special new coffee that we sourced in Uganda last year from the Kasungu Bahungu community and our tasty Peruvian single producer microlot from Elías Palomino Julca. Coming in the next few months we'll start to see Central American coffees arrive fresh off harvest - there are some exceptional coffees on the way from some our favorite producers in Guatemala and Honduras!We have launched pour over mostly at five of our coffeehouses including: 130 Anderson, 440 Richmond, 1437 Ogilvie, 2140 Carling, and 4027 Innes and intend to roll out more. As part of our pour over service we include a small carafe of coffee prepared on our ModBar and a short story on the microlot you're enjoying. It's a treat to take time and enjoy the work and craft that has gone into creating these special coffees. Let us know what you think!

Grounded the Kids?!
I so love this time of year and sometimes I feel like I've seen it all. I think all of the Halloween manufacturers are scared this year (pun intended). A few years ago it was so fun to go shopping for Halloween. Every year they seemed to come out with the coolest new props. I'm so glad I spent the money then because there is nothing but the same old crap out there this year. Seriously?!? Did they run out of ideas? Are they not producing as much because of the state of the economy? I was in Party City, Halloween City and Spirit Halloween yesterday and let me tell you, they are pretty much cleaned out. I was looking for something specific I had seen online but with no luck. I think this is the first time I have ever walked out of those stores with nothing in my hand. It got me to thinking about going more old school. You know, making all of the decorations yourself. Maybe in a year like this when there isn't much to write about I can get inspiration from other people. I decided to go online and see what other people have created from basic stuff. I found this Grounded the Kids decor that is absolutely hilarious and a little creepy too. I just love the idea and what makes it a really great idea is that you can go simple like this or make them really scary. I found this on The Fun Times Guide.

and Cosmo Cricut Mobile Hanger
Mobile front view
I don't have any hard instruction for you. Find a sheet of any detailed pattern paper that lends itself to cutting apart. Graphic 45 is a personal favourite for fussy cutting. It has a great sturdy body to it and is so charming. Do all your cutting first, hand the heaviest item in the center and balance with your other bits.
This could be created in any theme, Christmas, Birthday, Halloween etc.
Mobile Back View
The back is decorated with words as well as graphic elements strung on wire. In this closeup you can see strips of the worded sheet wound through the top, a few phrases hung off the tiny hooks. You could add some jewel charms, beads or buttons as well.
The more bling the merrier I say.

CARSON, Calif. — Landon Donovan's stay with Everton will end one week earlier than originally scheduled.
LA Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said Tuesday that his team's captain will return to Los Angeles on Sunday, the day after Everton's FA Cup fixture against Blackpool.
"Donovan comes back Sunday," Arena said. "He will be with us for a bit in Tucson before he heads out with the national team."
Loaned out to Everton for the second time in three years, Donovan was scheduled to remain with the Toffees until Feb. 25, which would allow him to play in the club's match against Liverpool. Instead of playing the Merseyside Derby, though, Donovan will be with the Galaxy for a Desert Diamond Cup match.
The Galaxy leave for Tucson, Ariz., next week and will play three matches against MLS competition as part of the Desert Diamond Cup. The club will play New England (Feb. 22), Real Salt Lake (Feb. 25) and New York (Feb. 29) in the desert before playing another match on March 3 – either a consolation game or the final. The United States national team will play at Italy on Feb. 29, meaning Donovan could be available for the first two games in Tucson and possibly the last match as well.
On March 7, the Galaxy will visit Toronto FC in a CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal match before returning home to start the season against Real Salt Lake on March 10.

Since gold and silver is closely correlated we will see some buying power for this commodity as well. Looking at a Bearish Bat pattern that formed on the asset to sell in the near future . RSI showing some strong momentum on the 3hour timeframe as the end of a correction formed on the 15min timeframe but master direction is to go long so it will be a good idea for the week ahead as dollar weakness will continue.
評論: Silver finds support on strong structure low to go long
its having a long think about what to do next, maybe up maybe down. LoL
fxRUSH DownUnder
Clearly don't see that the first bearish bat pattern failed and formed the a correction to continue the up trend.so the logic idea is long and to short at the second bat pattern or at the end of a trend if you do know how to identity one.
fxRUSH fxRUSH
Oil is a good example of a end of a down trend to buy and AUD /NZD a end of a Correction to buy but you need to look at multiple chart frequentlys
DownUnder fxRUSH
Only trading Silver :). You think we will bounce back from 20.03 or wont even go that far down..?
fxRUSH DownUnder
Well Im short now on silver since yesterday as a end of a trend formed on the 1hour timeframe so not to expecting to see a reversal at 20.03 anymore as investors and traders took profit as the USD starts to make some recovery as anticipation for the job market reports for Friday but for now silver is bearish.

Peach Pecan Crumble with maple sugar!
With peaches beginning to ripen around New England, I thought of this delicious recipe using pure maple sugar for a sweetener. It is a recipe you will want to keep. I apologize for no picture.
Fresh Peach Pecan Crumble (with maple sugar)
7 medium fresh peaches, pitted and roughly chopped 1/2 cup fresh blueberries flour (2 TB for fruit, 3/4 cup for crumble) 1/4 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped 1/4-1/3 cup Justamere's maple sugar 1 cup chopped pecans ( I like to toast these in the oven first) pinch of salt and cinnamon 2 tsp. lemon zest and 1 tsp. lemon juice 1/4 cup organic unsalted butter chopped into small cubes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine peaches, blueberries and 2 TB flour in square baking dish (about 9 inches wide). Mix together remaining 3/4 cup flour with ginger, maple sugar, pecans, salt, cinnamon, lemon zest, juice and butter ( use hands for best results). Crumble over fruit and bake, covered for 20 minutes. Remove cover or foil and bake another 20 minutes. Crumble should be golden on top and fruit soft and bubbling hot. Serve warm from the oven with a dollop of your favorite ice cream or whipped cream!
Also your house will smell awesome from the aroma of the crumble cooking. Enjoy!

The Steelers hadn't scored a rushing touchdown since Week 15 last year. But now they have Le'Veon Bell.
Bell, the rookie making his NFL debut, took a handoff at the 8-yard line, raced around the right side and somersaulted into the end zone for his first NFL touchdown and the Steelers' first touchdown on the ground since December.
It hasn't been all good for the Steelers, though: Their defense allowed Greg Jennings take a Matt Cassel pass and break into the open for his first touchdown as a Viking, a 70-yarder.
The Vikings also got an early field goal and have a 10-7 lead late in the first quarter.

Ritchie, Ella. (2003) "Modes of Regulation in the Common Fisheries Policy: A Moveable Feast?". In: UNSPECIFIED, Nashville, TN. (Unpublished)
Download (1246Kb) | Preview
This paper examines the extent to which soft law and soft policy instruments are used within the Common Fisheries Policy (CF) and considers whether it is useful as a concept for understanding evolving forms of regulation within the sector. The CFP is a fertile ground for the examination of the relationship between institutions, rules and actors. It is a multi-level policy with significant global, EU, national regional and local dimensions. There has been an enduring governing crisis in the sector within, in the 1990s, major crisis in nearly all EU fish stocks and wide-scale recognition of the failure of current policy instruments to deliver the desired policy outcomes of the CFP. In fisheries policy it is difficult to separate debates about forms of regulation from debates about forms of governance since, for fisheries regimes to be successful, the fishing industry needs to cooperate with the regime in place.

Here's a look at some of the stocks the Yahoo Finance team will be watching for you today.
Auto stocks are under pressure after reporting weaker-than-expected monthly sales figures. General Motors (GM) led the way with a decline of 14.4%, Fiat Chrysler (FCAU) saw a 10.7% drop, while Ford (F) sales fell 7.5% in July.
Under Armour (UA) shares plunged on Tuesday after the sports apparel maker cut its revenue outlook for the year and said it was closing stores and cutting 2% of its global workforce, or 280 jobs. The is all part of restructuring plan to boost a slowdown in sales amid fierce competition. Under Armour also posted a smaller-than-expected loss for the second quarter and revenue that matched estimates.
Sprint (S) shares sprinted higher in early trading. The wireless carrier, which is majority owned by Japan's Softbank, swung to a profit for the first time in three years. Revenue also beat expectations as it added 61,000 subscribers and cut costs last quarter.
Pfizer (PFE) reported mixed results. The drug firm posted a beat on profits but revenue missed analysts' estimates amid lower sales of its rheumatoid arthritis treatment Enbrel and pneumonia vaccine Prevnar.
Pandora Media (P) saw big swings in its stock this morning. The online music streaming service lowered its outlook for the year, following the sale of its Ticketfly ticketing firm and weaker-than-expected subscription revenue. However, a boost in advertising helped Pandora deliver a smaller-than-expected loss and revenue that beat estimates last quarter.

Another month, another TBR! February is a shorter month, so I'm only expecting to read about six books this month. My TBR list is actually a little longer though, just to give me some room to pick from lots of options! Here are the eight books that are my priorities for February:
- Charlie, Presumed Dead by Anne Heltzel – I have been waiting for this book to come out for a really long time. It's a YA mystery/thriller.
- Trust Me, I'm Lying by Mary Elizabeth Summer – This is another mystery book, I believe, and I love the idea of having an unreliable narrator.
- In Real Life by Lawrence Tabak – I received a copy of this book to read from the publisher!
- Valhalla by Ari Bach – I have seen some good reviews for this and I am trying to branch more into sci-fi because I love it so much when I do read it.
- My Rebellion Checklist by Susan Soares – This is another book I was able to receive from the publisher!
- The Moor's Account by Laila Lalami – This book is carrying over from my January TBR. I didn't actually get my hands on it until the end of the month, so I wanted to keep it around for February.
- Humans of New York by Brandon Stanton – I am trying to read about one nonfiction book per month and this was my pick after following his Facebook page for a while.
- I Was Here by Gayle Forman – Last year, Gayle Forman came in at my number one favorite book of the year! I'm hoping to find another great story here.
What do you hope to read this month?

This week I had a very timely reminder that being a single parent isn't all it's cracked up to be. Seriously. If there is anyone out there who thinks being a single parent is a doddle you should have been in my shoes this week because this was the week of The Flu. That's real flu, the sort that completely knocks you sideways and makes you sleep like the dead sort of flu.
On Wednesday I started to feel like I had a cold coming on and took some paracetamol at lunch-time. By 3pm I couldn't stop sneezing and felt hot and shivery at the same time. Thursday morning I felt really unwell, but thought it might be a 24-hour virus and would be out of my system quickly.
Fast forward to Friday morning and I was too weak to even get out of bed. My girls had to walk to school (unheard of!) and even had to walk and feed the dog (also unheard of!). In fact, they have pretty much fended for themselves since Wednesday evening and they've not done a bad job but now we've run out of food, I don't have any cash on me and the earliest supermarket delivery I can arrange is for tomorrow.
Being a single parent is fine for 99% of the time, or at least it is for me. We manage okay, the girls and I, and have found our own ways of getting things done. But as soon as I become ill our well-run lives hit the skids. I'm lucky that they're now older and can at least get some food out of the freezer and cook a meal for themselves. But I'd still like to have someone here who can go to the pharmacy for me, do some shopping, or just give me a big bear hug and tell me everything is ok.
This all sounds very selfish, and I know I'm wallowing in self-pity, but I'm allowed to - I'm not well. It's at times like this I realise how isolated I am. I don't even have any friends nearby that I'd be comfortable calling and asking for help. Today I do feel slightly better (well, I'm blogging so that's got to be an improvement) so hopefully I'll be back to normal in a day or so.
This week I've learned two things about myself.
- I'm a loner who gets lonely.
- I need to do something to improve my health because I hated being so sick this week.

Leaky ductwork can waste 10-30% of your home's heating and/or air conditioning costs. Your furnace or air conditioner will perform better and last longer with proper duct work and vent piping care. The condition of your duct work system contributes to your energy costs and personal health and comfort levels.
Repair, Installation and Maintenance of Air Ducts
If your ducts lose 20% of their air flow, efficiency decreases by half. Inefficient duct work reduces heating and/or AC system efficiency due to the system running longer and more often. Fresh air intakes create healthier indoor air. Duct work separations and small cracks leak heat and allow moisture to corrode ducts.
Air Duct Inspections
Repair or replace damaged HVAC duct work to improve performance, save on energy costs and make your Florida home healthier.
- Thorough duct inspection
- Additional duct runs for home remodeling or to fix problem areas
- Weather proofing of leaky duct work
- Repair, replacement and installation
- Optimum HVAC Efficiency

Probe could give Weiner more headaches: expert
New York City Congressman Anthony Weiner has not asked the FBI or U.S. Capitol Police to investigate a bizarre Twitter incident in which a lewd photo of a man's groin was sent to his 45,000 followers from his account.
Weiner told CBS News Congressional Correspondent Nancy Cordes in an interview Wednesday he has asked a law firm and an Internet security operation to "give advice" on the situation.
He said, "I don't believe this is a federal case, I don't believe that this is a capital crime. I believe this is a bit of mischief."
But why is Weiner so seemingly reluctant to involve law enforcement authorities in the case?
On "The Early Show" Thursday, CBS News Legal Analyst Jack Ford said if he's not pursuing official assistance in this situation, it's about not getting wrapped up official statements.
"If I'm a lawyer, and I'm representing a politician, in general, it's not against the law to lie to the media. It's not against the law to lie to your constituents. It is against the law to lie to law enforcement authorities," he said. "Martha Stewart went to jail not for insider trading, but for lying. Barry Bonds gets charged, goes to trial, not for using steroids - for lying about it. So if I'm a lawyer looking at a case such as this, I'm going to be real careful before I let my clients talk to law enforcement authorities, because I don't want to find my client, you know, jammed up here criminally because, despite what happened here, they're not telling the truth."
Ford said the content of the tweet also has to be considered.
"There are laws against sending out pornography on your account," he explained. "People will look at this and say, 'This might be really distasteful, but it's not pornographic.' You know, the young lady, if she felt she was being harassed in some fashion. But she hasn't expressed that. And you might say one instance of something like this wouldn't rise to that level, either. I don't think you're really talking about possible criminal activity there."
However, this situation may escalate to an investigation by an ethics committee, Ford said.
"Congress has the ability to investigate its own. And they have the capacity to censure somebody, to suspend somebody, even to remove somebody if they find there's conduct unbecoming a representative, a member of Congress. Those are pretty elastic, but certainly they have the ability to take a look at it."
Ford said it doesn't look like authorities, even if laws were broken, would prosecute.
Instead of pursuing police action, Weiner has been trying to quiet the story through several interviews. In each discussion, he refused to confirm or deny whether the picture is of him.
In her interview with Weiner, Cordes said, "Congressman, I think the main question that everyone has is was that a picture of you."
He replied, "Well, the main question that a lot of people are asking is did I send the photograph, I did not. This was a prank, a hoax."
Weiner told CBS News the picture of a man's groin in grey underwear does not look familiar, but left open the possibility that it was him.
Weiner said, "Photographs can be inserted, photographs can be manipulated. We're trying to get to the bottom of it."
Cordes noted Weiner's remarks are a confusing twist to a story made for the tabloids. The racy tweet was addressed to a 21-year-old female college student from Washington State.
Cordes asked, "So assuming that it was a picture of you, because I think that that's the conclusion that a lot of people are going to draw? Do you think that someone knew that you had a photo like that in your account and then knew enough of your account information to be able to hack into it and send it?"
Weiner said, "Look this is exactly the problem that we have with this issue. And I just want you to respect the idea that at some point the questions can get more, and more and more invasive and bizarre."
Supporters of Weiner note that it was right wing blogger Andrew Breitbart who broke the story. But Breitbart tells CBS News he had nothing to do with the supposed hack.
Breitbart said, "It's certainly not true that I'm behind this. I was at my kitchen island on Friday night when I was notified."
Weiner is known in Washington for his fiery liberal rhetoric and his sharp-tongued tweets.
Weiner says he was watching a hockey game Friday night when he noticed the offending tweet, deleted it and told his followers he'd been hacked. All that happened, Cordes reported, before the 21-year-old student the tweet was addressed to even saw it.
When asked if he had private conversations, e-mail conversations or Twitter conversations with the woman before, Weiner said, "I don't know this woman, she doesn't know me. She's made that very clear, and I'm making that that very clear."
Weiner said he has not spoken with the woman since the tweet was sent.

Unemployment falls to 7%
NEW YORK, NY — Has the job market finally hit its stride? Hiring continued at a solid pace in November, and the unemployment rate fell to a five-year low … for the right reasons.
The U.S. economy added 203,000 jobs in November. Economists surveyed by CNNMoney had predicted payroll gains of 183,000 jobs.
The unemployment rate fell to 7.0% — the lowest level since November 2008, as more people said they got jobs and joined the labor force.
This is encouraging news for the 11 million Americans who remain unemployed. The job market has been improving for three years now, but at a frustratingly slow pace.
The hiring was broad based, with big gains for sectors that tend to pay low wages as well as those that offer higher salaries. While retailers, restaurants and bars all hired more workers, traditionally higher wage sectors boasted even stronger job growth.
For example, professional and business services added 35,000 jobs.
"This was a strong, good quality report, showing continuing momentum," said Deloitte's Chief Financial Officer Frank Friedman. Deloitte alone is planning to hire about 18,000 people this year in its tax auditing and consulting businesses.
"We're optimistic about 2014, and we continue to hire at a pretty robust pace."
The transportation and warehousing sector added 30,500 jobs, and health care added 28,000 jobs.
Meanwhile, manufacturers hired 27,000 workers and construction companies hired 17,000.
"This year started off lopsided — low quality jobs were growing, but only in the last few months, the high quality jobs are coming back too," said Rajeev Dhawan, director of the Economic Forecasting Center at Georgia State University.
The federal government continued to cut jobs, but state and local governments more than made up for those losses, hiring 14,000 workers.
2013 is on track to be the best year for job creation since 2005, but the job market still has a long way to go until it's entirely healed from the recession.
Only about 63% of Americans over the age of 16 participate in the job market — meaning they either have a job or are looking for one. That's nearly the lowest level since 1978, driven partly by Baby Boomers retiring, but also by workers who had simply given up hope after long and fruitless job searches.
When Wal-Mart recently opened two stores in Washington, D.C., more than 23,000 people submitted applications for the 600 job openings.
That means each applicant stood a mere 2.6% chance of being hired. Harvard has a higher acceptance rate.
"It's not uncommon for us to get this number of applications in urban areas when there is such a need for jobs," Wal-Mart spokesman David Tovar said.
But perhaps 2014 will be the year the job market finally breaks out of its funk. The consistently stronger hiring growth could help convince some of the job market dropouts to look for work once again, economists say.
"The economy is poised for takeoff but suffers from headwinds," Dhawan said. "If we can survive January and there's no shutdown, we can take off."
The United States lost 8.7 million jobs in the aftermath of the financial crisis. As of November, it had gained about 7.4 million of those jobs back.

John Elkington, a global authority on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability, was ranked 4th in a CSR International survey of the top 100 CSR leaders.
Elkington, who conceived the 'triple bottom line' philosophy — which dictates that a business's success must be measured by people, profits and planet (its economic, ecological and social goals) — will address the CRY Corporate Responsibility Summit in Mumbai on Friday.
Excerpts from an interview with HT.
Do you think the Indian environment is conducive to social entrepreneurship?
Social innovation is hugely interesting in India right now. A new breed of entrepreneurs has entered this space over the past five years or so, in India and other developing countries such as Brazil and South Africa. These are very well-educated, business-oriented people, very different from those traditionally associated with this industry. For this new generation, social innovation is not a side-business but a way to a scalable, profitable business — without profit being the overriding motive.
However, while one the one hand India is currently this astonishing laboratory of social innovation, I would be very concerned about political corruption here. Without government endorsement and funding, these entrepreneurs are forced to think in narrower, short-term goals.
What can India do to promote sustainability and address environmental issues?
What is striking about India is its ability to stay in denial about some issues, such as climate change, particularly about Himalayan glaciers melting, as though there is an option to disbelieve science. Individually, Indians should invest in education, of themselves and their families. They should also be willing to take a stand, get policy-makers to listen to their voices, as they have with the recent protests in Delhi after the gang-rape case.
What are your expectations from the CRY Corporate Responsibility Summit?
I participated in this summit last year as well, and thoroughly enjoyed interacting with established speakers like [Infosys co-founder] Nandan Nilekani about what businesses are doing to bring about social change, and what the internal barriers are. The issue of child rights definitely needs to be advocated more, particularly in a country like India, where 26 million children are born every year. I look forward to the summit, and learning from the many established speakers that will participate in it.

Irish playwright Brian Friel, who died in 2015 at 86, won�t be traveling anymore. But I�ll bet he packed a tidy suitcase. Dancing at Lughnasa, Jobsite Theater�s season closer, manages to address a lot of issues: race, religion, disease, economic anxiety, family dynamics, war and media.
All of that merely just sets up the primary plot, following the romances of five sisters in 1936 Ireland. The ability of audiences to decide what to focus on is one thing that makes the play great, said producing artistic director David Jenkins, who is directing this show.
"Lughnasa is for sure loaded," Jenkins said. "We were led to it mostly because of its ability to show off the strengths of our ensemble, particularly our women (Nicole Jeannine Smith, Katrina Stevenson, Jonelle Meyer, Caitlin Eason and Emily Belvo), and because we�ve historically had a sweet spot for Irish plays and so felt audiences would be on board for it."
Opens Friday and runs through July 8 at the Shimberg Playhouse, David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts, 1010 N MacInnes Place, Tampa. $29.50 and up. Previes at 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday cost $18. (813) 229-7827. jobsitetheater.org.
Look away from the Illusionists for even a few seconds and there�s a chance you�ll miss something incredible. They nearly drown each other, upside down in a claustrophobic glass tank. They saw each other in half. For materials, they draw on their own fears and phobias, Kevin James ("The Inventor"), right, told the Times.
"I have a routine that explores childhood nightmares and another one that is about death," James said. "They are not in this version of the Illusionists, but I do like to choose topics that will hopefully resonate with the human condition."
Starts at 8 p.m. Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, and 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Carol Morsani Hall at the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts, 1010 N MacInnes Place, Tampa. $35 and up. (813) 229-7827. strazcenter.org.
The Tampa Bay area has a vibrant comedy scene. But no matter how big it gets, no one will ever threaten the position occupied by G. David Howard, at least for as long as he is performing, which is 40 years and counting. The man who once told jokes for 16 hours straight, setting a Guinness world record, headlines a Ward Smith and Friends event.
"He�s our comedy godfather," local comic, actor and director Smith said of Howard. "When I was starting out 30-odd years ago, we�d go see his long shows and he would let us do guest sets while he took a break. We�re lucky to get him."
Smith has been hosting comedy events the last couple of years at the Palladium, thanks to the support of executive director Paul Wilborn.
"The crowds are always fantastic," Smith said. "For the performers, it�s always great to get a break from the club environment and work a first-class room like the (Palladium�s) Side Door."
8 p.m. Saturday at the Palladium Theater, 253 Fifth Ave. N, St. Petersburg. $15 in advance, $20 day of show, $30 reserved. (727) 822-3590. mypalladium.org.
As the St. Petersburg Opera Co. prepares its season-ending musical, maestro Mark Sforzini, right, makes the rounds in a series of lectures on The Music Man, which runs June 29 to July 8 at the Palladium. The opera�s artistic director will talk about what makes the show special, with singers on hand for selected songs. Set in 1912, the story about small-town America cleaned up in the Tony Awards for 1957, beating out West Side Story for best musical and in three out of four acting categories. This show stars Peter Kendall Clark (as Professor Harold Hill), Molly Mustonen, Lucas Levy and Paula Broadwater. The lecture titled "Trouble With a Capital T" starts at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Music Gallery, 5990 Ulmerton Road, Clearwater; 11 a.m. Friday at the Museum of Fine Arts, 255 Beach Drive NE, St. Petersburg; and 3 p.m. Sunday at Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church, 110 S Fort Harrison Ave., Clearwater. $20, $17 seniors, $10 students. (727) 823-2040. stpeteopera.org.

One down, 20 and a bit to go. That's right folks, I've made it a week without shopping. Apparently it takes 30 days to break a habit, so by the end of August, I should be a fully-paid up, pious frugalista. Lolz, as the kids would have it.
This Uniqlo top is turning out to be one of my best pre-ban panic buys. It is really easy to wear as it drapes beautifully and it feels super-soft. I didn't want it quite as loose as the one on the model though, so I got an XS. Uniqlo is great for basics, I love the cashmere; it really is comparable with stuff costing triple, plus it survives a 30 degree silk wash without incident (absolutely crucial for survival in my wardrobe). You can usually bag the jumpers for around £59 when they go on special offer, which I think is great value, so keep an eye out for them dropping in store over the next few weeks.

Am I weird for saying that pillowcases bother me? I just dislike that they are open at one end. When I put the pillows on the bed, I always try to put those ends together, so you don't see the pillow inside. And I hate when the tags are sticking out. I make sure to put the pillow in the pillowcase tag first.
Why are all pillowcases like that? And why are pillow shams sewn with an envelope closure? I understand that pillow shams are supposed to be decorative and not for sleeping- but why?
After making our new quilt, Kyle suggested I use the left over binding material to make pillowcases. Excellent idea. I think Kyle agrees with me that pillowcases are silly, so we opted to make our pillowcases special. You can do that when you do it yourself. :)
See our fun blue pillowcases, with no openings showing!
I first measured our pillows. They are 20 x 26 inches. So I cut:
1 piece at 20 x 26.
2 pieces at 20 x 16. (These are for the back. You want the pieces to overlap by a few inches, so divide your length in half and add 3 inches.)
Now take your two smaller pieces (back pieces) and fold over one of the long edges approx. 1/4 inch. Press. And repeat- fold that same edge over another 1/4 inch and press. This way your raw edge is hidden and you will have a nice finished edge. Leave the other edge raw. Do this to both pieces.
Stitch the edges down 1/8 inch from the open edge.
Now, lay out your pillowcase. With right sides together, lay your back pieces overtop of your front piece, with the back pieces overlapping. Make sure your pressed edges are on the inside. Pin in place.
Now sew all the way around the pillowcase. I used my serger to finish the pillowcase off, so the fabric won't unravel. If you don't have a serger, you can use a zig zag stitch instead, or use pinking shears and pink the edges before sewing.
Now stuff your pillow inside and see how it fits! If you want a tighter fit, just trim off the edges a little bit and do the last step again. Easy fix.
Ahhh… I love our pillows. Happy day!

The Water Services (Amendment) Act 2012 requires the EPA to produce a National Inspection Plan. The Plan outlines the approach to be taken with respect to inspections. The Plan sets out a two pronged approach, focusing on raising owner awareness and responsibility, and on the inspection process.
The EPA has developed a scientific evidence based Risk Based Methodology to identify and prioritise systems for inspection of DWWTSs, which pose the highest risk to the environment and human health. Consequently, inspections will be focused on susceptible environmental receptors in highly sensitive waters such as to maximising the outcome. The number of inspections specified under the Plan for the first year is 1,000, this is the minimum number of inspections and it is anticipated that the overall number of inspections will be much greater than this. The inspections will check that the DWWTSs do not pose a risk to human health or the environment.
Initially all 500,000 septic tanks in the country were going to be inspected but the Plan requires that local authorities inspect a minimum of 1,000 septic tank systems nationally. This is because the Plan includes a risk based approach with more inspections being carried out in the highest risk areas having regard to sensitive receptors such as bathing waters and drinking water supplies. The inspections will check that the systems do not pose a risk to human health or the environment.
Inspections are being carried out to make sure that DWWTSs do not pose a risk to human health or the environment. Owners of DWWTSs are obliged to properly operate and maintain their systems as required under the Water Services Act, 2007 and Water Services (Amendment) Act 2012.
Local authorities are initially required to carry out a minimum of 1,000 inspections of DWWTSs across the whole country from July 2013 to July 2014 so not everyone will be inspected immediately. Local authorities will determine the areas where inspections will be carried out at a local basis. They will use the risk information and locations of sensitive receptors such as bathing waters and drinking water supplies to prioritise the areas of inspection. If you want to know the risk category for your area you can access the EPA's ENVISON GIS maps.
The local authority will write to you 10 days in advance of any inspection. You cannot request an inspection by the local authority. There is no fee for the first inspection carried out by the local authority.
Inspectors will be local authority employees and be appointed as inspectors by the EPA once they meet the criteria set out in the legislation. The EPA maintains a list of appointed inspectors.
Householders should not allow any person to enter their property to examine their DWWTS unless they have received prior notification in writing from their local authority that their system is to be inspected. Any person claiming to be from a local authority should be asked for official identification.
Inspections will commence after the 1st July 2013.
The inspections are intended to find out if your DWWTS poses a risk to you and your family's health and the environment. They will consist of a visual check to make sure that the DWWTS is not leaking nor has an unauthorised discharge, that it is properly operated and maintained and that it has been emptied of excess sludge when required.

Also, information leaflets published by Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government.
View the Domestic Waste Water Treatment System Inspection Form
Yes you will receive a copy of the inspection report within 21 days of the inspection.
If your septic tank fails the inspection you will be notified immediately by the Inspector, a copy of the inspection report will issue to you within six weeks and it will be accompanied by an Advisory Notice, which sets out the reason for the non-compliance and advises what next steps you need to take.
If you are not satisfied with the inspection report you may request a re-inspection using the form in S.I. No. 189 of 2013 and by paying the €20.00 re-inspection fee.
Please read the advice and guidance notes on remediation and replacement of DWWTS.
The Minister of Environment, Community and Local Government has announced a grant scheme. Grants are available for the carrying out of remediation, repair or upgrading works to, or replacement of, a domestic waste water treatment system, where such remediation, repair, upgrading or replacement arises directly from an inspection and subsequent issue of an advisory notice under the Water Services (Amendment) Act 2012.
At a minimum the DWWTS requiring remediation must have been registered by the owner of the premises connected to it by the prescribed date of 1st February 2013. There are also income limits regarding availability of the grant. More details are available from the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government.

Aguachile (water chile) is the name of a type of ceviche that is rapidly gaining in popularity. It usually consists of very fresh, raw shrimp laid on a plate and bathed with a pureed mixture of lime juice, chile and salt. It is then topped with some minced cilantro. Since finding shrimp of the proper freshness (sashimi quality) is often diffucult, I tried making the dish with perfectly fresh fish. The result was terrific! I then added some chopped avocado and a drizzle of fruity, extra virgin olive oil to the mix. The result is now my favorite ceviche, perhaps the most refreshing one I have ever had—and certainly the easiest to prepare! The combination of hot, sour, and salty, combined with the complementing richness of avocado and olive oil is a nearly perfect experience. When I am in La Jolla I use fresh halibut, but in San Antonio frozen sashimi grade blue fin (ahi) tuna works nearly as well. How long you leave the fish in the liquid will determine how much it will be "cooked." I prefer it left for only about 20 minutes.
2/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 medium-sized serrano chile, stemmed and coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ pound sashimi quality fish
1 large avocado, chopped
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Black pepper, to taste
Chopped cilantro, to taste
1. Make the aguachile liquid. Combine the lime juice chile and salt in a blender and blend until completely pureed.
2. Marinate the seafood. Pour the puree into a nonreactive bowl, and then add and toss the fish. Refrigerate the fish for 15 – 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours, depending on how "cooked" you would like it to be.
3. Serve the aguachile. To serve, with a slotted spoon put the pieces of fish into either 2 or 4 plates (depending on whether you are serving it as an appetizer or entrée). Add some avocado to each plate and toss it with the fish. Add a few spoonfuls of the marinating liquid, drizzle on the olive oil, add black pepper, and top with cilantro.
Serves 4 as an appetizer and 2 as a light entree.

I was a freaking SLUG today. I napped from 10-1, for Pete's sake! Then I picked up the kiddos (in two separate trips, mind you) and came home and READ for the rest of the day. No fooling. I didn't make dinner. I didn't even bother eating lunch because I basically slept through it. For the record, I did eat dinner, I just didn't make anything of worth. Seriously. A bean burrito. A bean burrito with cheese and purloined packets of Taco Bell hot sauce. Don't be jealous, guys. You can go to Taco Bell, score some hot sauce and make your own. It's not difficult.
So. Yeah. Slug. A slug who didn't eat all that much today. This is probably a good thing.
Okay. Book stuff:
Book #101 - Hunter's Moon (Vampires Realm) by Felicity Heaton - Love the cover! Such a nicely muscled back. I really can't stop looking at it. Oh, and the story is pretty darn awesome too!
I have one more review to write and another book I'm almost done with.
Don't forget to pop on over to this post and comment to win a Kindle from the fabulous Moira Rogers!
I must mentally prepare myself now for a full day of work. Woe!
Oh, happy day! I get to use my 'bean burritos' tag again!

A Small Guide on Protein Powders
Anyone who is too much adamant about fitness, whether you are a pro or a beginner might have heard about the protein shakers. If it is first time that you are seeing it then you look up what it is and come with hundreds and thousands of articles describing you why you need to use these protein powders. You go and buy a package of protein powder from your local fitness supplement store and get cracking. Soon you want to get the finer points about the supplement and find a lot of information over there. Instead of going through a lot of rubbish, here is a quick and small guide on one of the most popular supplements around the world.
These supplements are generally brought as a pre-made drink in the form of powder. Their consumption is highest amongst the athletes and it is not surprising to know that there are few forms of protein supplements in market. A protein supplement precisely is a concentrated form of powder, whey protein that comes from milk and cheese using complex engineering procedure. This cell is same as that of what we call as protein concentrate powder.
A protein supplement is a concentrated kind of powder; whey protein comes from milk and cheese by using a complex engineering procedure. This powder which is produced is exactly what we call whey protein concentrate powder. Now this has been explained, you will have a greater knowledge of what
Sports supplement companies sell this powder in container for the customers to blend with water and milk and consume it. Muscle builders and athletes can use this drink so as to help boosting their protein intake. It is critical to stress that it is the gym goers and athletes that make use of these supplements due to their dietary needs. Those who are highly interested in getting buffed demand a substantial high calorie diet plan consume these products for the same. Reports have shown that protein supplements if absorbed on a daily basis will help raise the immune system.
Why do I need best protein powders?
These supplements are really a substitute for protein you get through the meals. Sometimes, it is not as cost effective and can be time consuming. These whole foods include eggs, legumes, fish, meat and poultry. This powder assists in muscle recovery. When a person you workout with, your muscles go into a repair mode. To improve the recovery procedure, extra protein supplements can help you. Proteins also help in boosting metabolism and when you eat proper amount of protein, it can cause the consumption of fat reserves.
Does it works?
One easy way to know whether this powder works or not is to see the number of people who are consuming it at the gym. It is not just there for buffing up but also a lot more beneficial. Consume it in combination with healthy diet and optimal amount of exercise and you should keep away from those powders that contain unnatural ingredients.

Baby Massage
Ayurvedic Baby Massage
The indian ayurvedic baby massage greatly helps the development
of child's body .
Baby massage has a long tradition in India. Just after birth, a cleansing massage is done with a soft wheat-dough ball, to which a little almond oil and a dash of turmeric is added. Just before rubbing the ball is dipped in a bit of almond oil. This practice is continued for the first six days after birth, before the bath. Ayurvedic baby massage enhances circulation, helps in the expulsion of toxins and aids the digestive system of the baby.
On the seventh day after birth, actual baby massage with the dough ball starts and this goes on every day for 3 weeks. The dough ball should be dipped in oil every now and then, which helps to keep the 3 doshas in proper balance.
Massage with the hands begins when the infant is one month old, when the baby's body has become strong enough. The baby massage is continued every day for 3 months, during which the most time is spend in massaging spine, back, neck, waist, hands and feet, because these parts need to gain strength to support the body.
Once the baby starts lifting its head on its own and supporting its body weight on its arms, more general daily body massage should continue for 18 months. The massage of the spine nevertheless remains an important aspect of infant massage.
After this time, baby massage can be given on alternate days, though a daily massage routine will aid in making the child strong and happy.

Brewing process of Bunn Trifecta coffee maker
• Air is inserted into a pressurized compartment to disturb the coffee grounds and produce an entirely uniform removal.
• Air presses the brew all the way through a metal screen to strain out the coffee grounds while concurrently preserving the necessary oils.
The purpose of trifecta is to allow the barista to modify each process of brewing to extract fuller flavors from the beans that you used.
For your coffee to be unique, the Trifecta should work with a single cup process of brewing to intensify the quality of your coffee.

Today I'm sharing a fun experiment I did recently, which is gelli printing on Tomoe River paper. It's a very lightweight paper, 52gms and in the fountain pen community famous for its great workings with fountain pen (and other) inks. I was wondering if it could hold up to fluid acrylic paints so I experimented a little with DecoART media Fluid Acrylics which I recently received from the decoarts media team as part of the blogger out reach program.
Gorgeous little bottles with fluid acrylics from Deco Art Media. I also used the bottom stencil by Andy Skinner for a couple of prints among other stencils.
The paper holds up the fluid acrylics really well and the drying time wasn't bad at all. I've filmed this process video and you can watch the whole process here
Not bad work for an half an hour on a monday night, right? The video is sped up to around 9 minutes total, so no worries, LOL :) I really had fun with this and am looking forward to use the prints in a few upcoming projects. If you like the video, please hit like and subscribe to my channel to see more. I have been working on a few other process video's and hope to upload on a bi-weekly basis. Still very new to this, so if you have any tips/suggestions they are welcome.
As always, thanks ever so much for stopping by and hope you are having a wonderful day!
