Date Nut Bars
Recipe from Lisa Jaworski. Lisa says, "This family favorite recipe comes from my Great Grandmother Marie, who came here from Caserta, Italy in 1898 through Ellis Island. Don't know where she got the recipe, but she was a wonderful chef trained by the nuns. We used to sneak these treats off the tray when we were kids. Well, at least we thought we were sneaking them, but my Mother probably knew all along."

My mother made these delicious date cookies every Christmas season when I was young. I've always loved these cookies!

This recipe is from my mother, Dorothy Hagerman. She originally got this recipe from her Aunt Dale. As such, I honestly don't know how old this recipe is.

3 Quick And Simple Ways To Improve Your Ad! by Larry Dotson 1) Make It Easy To See Make your ad's keywords and phrases stand out by enlarging the text. This technique works wonders with headlines and sub-headlines. People see them first because it's easier for their eyes to focus on. You could also use different fonts for your headlines than the rest of your ad copy. 2) Make It Stand Out Make your productâs list of benefits and features stand out by using a symbol in front of each of them. The symbol could be a dash, solid circle, star, etc. Also indenting them will help make them stand out. Each benefit should be written like a headline to get the readers' attention and tell them whatâs in it for them. 3) Make It Extra Visual Place attention-grabbing pictures above and within your ad copy. A powerful technique is to use before and after pictures of people using your product. They will give your target audience a clearer vision of what you're offering. That will help them imagine themselves getting the benefits of your product. ---- 10,000 Sales-Producing Words And Phrases! Just visit: http://www.ldpublishing.com

Social Media Tools
HOLY COW BATMAN! You gotta be serious! Look at all these social media tools out there! They are hot software these days with skyrocket cost! I have bought several social media tools for myself and regret that 80% of the tools are actually junk! SEMrush is nice but extremely expensive! It's pointless to pay those hefty monthly subscriptions! That's freaking ridiculous! $69.95 a month just for the itty bitty basic to $549.95 a month for the grand package! Seriously!
I have been branding myself for the last few weeks and got the decent amount of followers without cheating or trying to find shortcuts! A lot of people would go to Fiverr and pay for those fake followers or likes to their page or group! Come on, seriously! Having a bunch of fake accounts in your group or page is pretty noticeable these days! Here is an example below!
They will get you 5,000 "LIKES" for Facebook within 3 days! But the question is, are those "LIKES" are going to become your customers? You don't want those on your page or group!You want real customers that would like your page voluntarily.
The only tools I'm paying for right now is Hootsuite! I can monitor the entire social media on one screen without an issue! All my social network accounts are connected into one Hootsuite account. I have been using Hootsuite to do all my advertising on the social network! Hootsuite does give you the benefit where you can advertise at a certain time or which account you want to advertise at a certain time. The most important social media tool is YOU. I have been very successful capturing attention with my randomness! People like to see things that capture their attention! You probably heard "same ole bullshit" all the time and it's a good idea to change up everything and make it new! Here is one thing that would capture attentions on the social network! Colorful and bright does make people wonder what's the picture about!

The special event at Château Le Parc was peppered with beautiful emotions ranging from laughter and to tears and everything in between.
When the bride's sister approached the podium to give a speech, I knew I will have the opportunity to capture some of the most beautiful moments of the wedding day. The girls had a close relationship and when the younger sister told stories about their childhood, the bride started crying.
To take this photograph I placed myself in such angle so I can capture both the speaker and the bride's reaction. I find that catching two stories in the same frame is conducive to a more powerful image.
Here, the speaker is facing the bride but we can clearly discern she's her sister. Placed in the foreground she gives the image dimension. Also, the speaker is looking towards the married couple and she is out of focus so the viewer's attention is directed towards the bride and groom. Also, the wedding venue had a spotlight on the married couple so they are the brightest part of the scene. It is the human nature to look at the brightest spot in the frame so as a professional wedding photographer I always try to make the subject at least one stop brighter than the backdrop. That is always the case unless I want to photograph a silhouette.
To create this beautiful candid photograph I used a 35mm lens and a Canon 5D Mark three camera.

FDA Issues Draft Guidance For Product Identifier Requirements
Last week, the FDA released a draft guidance titled Product Identifier Requirements Under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act--Compliance Policy, with a 60-day comment period ending around September 3, 2017. According to the FDA, the "draft guidance describes FDA's intention with regard to enforcement of certain requirements related to product identifiers under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act" (DSCSA). Specifically, this guidance addresses manufacturers' product identifier and verification requirements, which, under the law, begin November 27, 2017. The product identifier consists of the standardized numerical identifier, lot number and expiration date for the unit of drug (or homogenous case). This guidance also addresses certain requirements for repackagers, wholesale distributors, and dispensers to only engage in transactions involving products with product identifiers and to verify the product identifier when investigating suspect product, in addition to repackager and wholesale distributor requirements related to saleable returned products.
Importantly, although the DSCSA itself requires manufacturers to affix product identifiers on each package and homogenous case of covered prescription drug product by November 27, 2017, under this draft guidance, FDA explains that it "does not intend to take action against manufacturers who do not affix or imprint a product identifier to each package and homogenous case of products intended to be introduced in a transaction into commerce before November 26, 2018." Further, for the unserialized product that enters the supply chain prior to November 26, 2018, FDA will exercise enforcement discretion regarding many of the product-identifier-related requirements (e.g., verification) imposed upon repackagers, wholesale distributors and dispensers.
Finally, in the draft guidance, FDA notes that in the future it will issue a separate guidance on "grandfathered product," and at that time explain how the product identifier guidance and grandfathered product guidance may relate.
Arent Fox's Food, Drug, Medical Device, and Agriculture group and Health Care group regularly advise pharmaceutical clients on regulatory compliance and submitting comments on draft guidances and regulations. If you have any questions about the matter raised here, please contact Brian Waldman, Stephanie Trunk, Emily Leongini or Erin Atkins in our Washington, DC office.

DUBAI — The four members of a Chinese family who have been diagnosed in the United Arab Emirates with the new coronavirus were tourists who arrived from the Chinese city of Wuhan on Jan. 16, UAE health ministry official Hussein al-Rand told Reuters.
Rand declined to say which of the UAE's seven emirates the family were being treated in, had visited, or which airport they arrived in. He said the government had traced those who had come into contact with the family in the UAE, with all testing negative for the virus. (Writing by Lisa Barrington)

If there is any forgiving exit from this universe, let it be doing what you love, where you love, with those you love. Murray was living out his passion on God's finest and most magical creation, the deep blue sea. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, family man, friend and philanthropist.
Surviving Murray is his wife Nadine, son Stuart, daughter in law Amy, grandchildren Benjamin, Jacob, brother Barry along with his family and friends from around the world.
The family would like to have donations made in lieu of flowers to either the Harbor Village Coral Restoration Foundation, the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's, or the Jacksonville USO. These causes have been near and dear to Murray's heart and make wonderful impacts on our world.

5th January (2019) it is. I just woke up at around 7'o clock as it is weekend and wondered how boring the recent past is without any travels. My roommate is still in deep sleep and I alone started to the Himayat Sagar Dam which is around 3 miles from my room. The morning is still misty and the atmosphere is touchingly pleasant. I just made few phone calls to my friends while going and reached the Dam by 8:30 AM.
Himayatsagar Dam is just 5 kilometers from Rajendranagar (where I work) and a very good place for a morning walk. I believe most of the Hyderabadis don't even know that such place exists in the city. Few pictures of the area (I took the Dam pictures last time, but somehow lost them, will surely update here when I visit next time):
The pleasant atmosphere and the walk just burst my stress. I really enjoyed the solo visit to the dam. The enjoyment part is over. I just sat for a half an hour and started my return journey. I would like to jog this time and started on the footpath, which is a recently laid one.
My jog started and irritated just after a minute due to ORR toll rate indicator boards, which are placed on the footpath. I just got down and again started my jog. The board comes again. The boards are more than 5, which occupied almost all the recently laid footpath of a kilometer I think. I just wondered what's the point in laying a footpath if it is not useful for those who walk with foot! No pedestrian can utilize the footpath.
I don't know what motivated me, but just took some pictures of the footpath and posted them on Twitter tagging the Principal Secretary of Ministry of Municipal Administration & Urban Development – Shri Arvind Kumar along with other official handles.
What kind of a modern civilization technique it is to use poles in the middle of footpath? This footpath is a recently laid one. At Himayathsagar dam, Hyderabad. @GHMCOnline @KTRTRS @arvindkumar_ias @WeAreHyderabad pic.twitter.com/RFClKA9Xdi

I really don't have any hope that it will make any change, but somehow it got the attention of social media and many people supported my tweet. It got the attention of the Principal Secretary too and he responded to my tweet and directed the Officer on Special Duty, Outer Ring Road to relocate the boards.
@HMDA_Gov osd ORR .. please have this relocated at once
— Arvind Kumar (@arvindkumar_ias) January 5, 2019
Finally and surprisingly, the work was done immediately and within 24 hours of my tweet, they relocated the boards and the footpath is free!
Thanks for bringing it to the notice. Was taken up with the ORR authorities in @HMDA_Gov and this has been rectified … thanks again pic.twitter.com/coy7Xd8gkh
— Arvind Kumar (@arvindkumar_ias) January 6, 2019
I felt awesome because of the prompt response and immediate work done by the officials. Citizens participation in democracy and use of social media for public works by both people and executives together can result in quick improvements. It doesn't matter whether it gets resolved or not, but it is always good to share the civic issues over social media.
Thanks a lot sir for the quickest rectification. I can jog better now. My salutes to you and all those who supported 🙏
— అరవింద్ పల్లా (@avndp) January 6, 2019
And you know? The motivation/reason behind all this jog is a new pair of shoe, which I ordered on Flipkart for ₹649 😆 😎

Holding Patterns
Holding patterns. Aren't they great? Nearly everyone us has been in one if we've traveled by air more than once in our lives. Have you ever seen people disembark from the plane after they've been in a holding pattern? Aren't they all like, "Wow, that was such a great time up there-we were getting ready to land, but then the pilot came on the loudspeaker and told us that we were going to have to stay up in the air for about half an hour or maybe more, while they figured out something on the ground. I loved it….I mean it was so nice to think we were about to land only to find out we were going to have to stay up in the air for an undetermined amount of time.", said NO ONE. EVURRRR.
Face it, holding patterns are just plain hard. Like when we're about three miles back in a ten mile back up on the freeway: we don't know why we're stuck sucking in the fumes from the ten thousand other cars stopped with us, we don't know when it's going to let up, if ever, and all that makes us nervous. We fret over missed appointments, we silently (or not so silently) scold ourselves for having that last cup of coffee before we got in our vehicles, and we worry about our fates. Sometimes we even get……angry. Perish the thought!
But the Bible has something to say about holding patterns; specifically that you can be renewed and that you can actually GAIN strength while being in one, IF you're waiting on the Lord. Whaaaaat? That's just crazy talk. Ain't nobody got time for that. Furthermore, you'll end up soaring like an eagle, you'll have crazy good stamina (staying power) and you won't get tired. (Like 5 Hour Energy only better) Isaiah 40: 31 (ESV) but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. My knee-jerk reaction is often, if I'm being honest and not trying to wow you with my deep spirituality, is "Ya, right buddy. I'll get right on that". And yet David, in the book of Psalms says in 34:8 "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!" That means experience God. Dive in, TASTE the life, get into what God says. Test Him, surround yourself with what HE says. God wants us to see that He is true to His word, He will NOT let us down.
Not only do holding patterns feel uncomfortable to us, they can be deceiving to outsiders. Maybe nothing's going on with your career right now, but you know that God has been telling you to just hang tight, He's got something coming up for you, but to others who only know you casually, or to those who haven't bothered to get to the know the real you it may look like you're just "phoning it in" and not really living up to your potential. In our case right now, my husband and I have assumed leadership of my dad's faith based non-profit ministry that he left for me to run after he died. I've been on the board of the directors since its inception thirty years ago, we've been involved in a variety of decisions and missions over the years, I'm intimately aware of my dad's convictions regarding the direction of the ministry and he told me he wanted me to run it and grow it after he was gone. The timing of him leaving this earth still seems incredibly unreal on most levels and still leaves me breathless and dizzy on most days if I'm honest (grief is a giant gnarly monster that must be dealt with every single day and you don't get to choose the time or the place, but that's for a different post), but I am doing exactly what he wanted and what he spelled out for me. And yet on some very real levels there are some holding patterns going on as we take care of some necessary legal and administrative details. To people in my extended family (I'm an only child, so extended family is all I have, or had, as is now the case) it looks as if we're doing absolutely nothing with it at all. Much to my shock, most of my family has taken a mind-boggling adversarial role in my life and are actively hating on me. The death of my father, who meant far more to me than any blog post can ever do justice to, is one thing. Losing the relationships I had with 99% of my cousins has been nearly as painful and incredibly confusing. I cherish the two or three people who are still on speaking terms with me.
But through all this God has been incredibly good. During this "holding pattern", when it looks to the world like we're not doing a darn good thing (or anything at all) with this ministry, we're seeing deliverance. We're seeing recovery from addictions. We're getting work done on a building project (even if people can't see it from the outside as they drive down the street). We are being faithful in the little things. We are seeking God in ALL things. The Lord has protected us from someone trying to steal the organization out from under us.
It's actually been "good". We are tasting God everyday and He's coming up true and steadfast, just like He says. I truly believe when the circumstances of life are the most painful, that's when God shows up with boat loads of mercy and grace. And miracles. Like the not-so-small miracle of being able to survive and thrive painful rejections. God's got this and He's bigger than all of life's hurts combined.

Awesome email/post, Gigi. Gosh, I get it. Sad, but I get it. And glad, I get it: I know the Lord, yet I don't always call upon Him. Time to step up, for the umpteenth time. Dianne

Do you have any favorite book boyfriends of your own?
Oh, mercy, just line my books up and start reading off the hero names. I've said before that I write books for myself first, and that's absolutely true. I love all of my heroes, and it's only because publishers won't let me write all the heroines as me that I bother with writing those dishy men females who are worthy of them.
Outside of my books, I was one of those girls who grew up with the hots for Sherlock Holmes. As an adult, I've been quite fond of several of Georgette Heyer heroes, particularly those who give in to their senses of humor (Sir Tristram from Talisman Ring, and Freddy Standen from Cotillion).
What are five books on your nightstand/ bookshelf?
This is going to be a very disappointing answer, I fear. Right now on my nightstand are Sol y Viento (a Spanish textbook), Art: A Brief History by Marilyn Stokstad (an art history textbook), History of Italian Renaissance Art by Frederick Hartt and David Wilkins, Introduction to Forensic Science by Richard Saferson, and Step Aside, Popsm a Hark! A Vagrant Collection by Kate Beaton.
What's your favorite quote or scene from your book?
I think the scene where Gary meets Jim is one of my faves. Especially since Gary is showing off, and Jim is instantly jealous of Gary's toys.
If your couple's relationship had a theme song, what would it be?
Roar by Katy Perry. The need to rise above people who want to put you down is pertinent to both hero and heroine. Plus I can see them both singing it loudly.
Tell us about the cover process. Is this what you had in mind?
I'm lucky in that my publishers have excellent art departments who take a few bits of scattered ideas that I pry out of my brain, and turn them into gorgeous covers, usually involving lick-worthy men. And this cover is no different. It's not a bad thing to find yourself stroking a book cover, is it?
Where do you find inspiration for you writing? Do you use real people/places as a foundation?
I've always told myself stories, so writing is really just an extension of that. My inspiration is my muse, who I picture as a bon-bon eating diva who reclines of fainting couches a lot, waving a languid hand whenever she wants something, and basically ruling me with threats of going away on vacation if I attempt to work her too hard. I seldom use real people in my books, since the people in my head are much more flawed and thus suitable for me to torment, but I do use as many real locations as I possibly can. I rely heavily on past trips to Europe as the source of many locations, and those I haven't visited I usually research by finding people who live there, and haunting online webcams, and photo galleries.
Do you have any hobbies or activities that you enjoy outside of writing?
When my arthritic hands let me, I like to spin wool into yarn, knit, and sew a variety of things that never quite turn out as I've envisioned. I'm a gamer girl, as well, so I'm online in games like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, Star Wars The Old Republic, Hearthstone, Lord of the Rings Online, and way too many other games.
I've also decided to go back to school, and am enjoying online classes at Fort Hays State University so I can add a history degree to my list of credentials.
Would the 10 year-old version of yourself kick your butt or praise you for what you've accomplished in life?
Oh, she'd be thrilled that I've survived the last few years, since they included everything from the death of my husband to moving to a new house. And I think she'd be quite happy with the body of work I've produced in the last ten years, although I know she'd tell me I should stop insisting on having time off between books, and instead write non-stop.
Dragon Storm by Katie MacAlister
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Publication Date: November 24, 2015
According to some (including himself), Constantine is one of the greatest heroes of dragonkin who ever lived. Too bad he's now lonelier than ever and his biggest adventure involves a blow-up sheep-until he has an opportunity to save his kind once again. All Constantine has to do is break into a demon's dungeon, steal an ancient artifact, and reverse a deadly curse. The plan certainly does not involve rescuing a woman . . .
Bee isn't sure whether to be infuriated or relieved when Constantine pops up in her prison. The broody, brawny shifter lights her fire in a way no one ever has before, yet how far can she really trust him? Their chemistry may be off the charts, but when push comes to shove, Constantine will have to make a crucial choice: to save the dragons or the woman he's grown to love with fierce intensity.
This is another zany fast paced look into the Dragon Fall world. Granted it took me a while to warm up to Constantine as he was rather stiff and Bee was a little too caustic. I couldn't quite figure out how they became attracted to each other. Once they did they changed and I really liked them. Of course they're surrounded by the dragons and other magical folk that we met in book one. I loved the fun story but wish that the characters would get a little warmer so instead of just laughing and enjoying the story, we grow to care about them more. That being said, I am more than ready to read the next installment to see just where the story is going and what new strange people we'll be introduced too. It should be fun.

For as long as she can remember Katie MacAlister has loved reading, and grew up with her nose buried in a book. It wasn't until many years later that she thought about writing her own books, but once she had a taste of the fun to be had building worlds, tormenting characters, and falling madly in love with all her heroes, she was hooked.
With more than fifty books under her belt, Katie's novels have been translated into numerous languages, been recorded as audiobooks, received several awards, and are regulars on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. A self-proclaimed gamer girl, she lives in the Pacific Northwest with her dogs, and frequently can be found hanging around online.

Real Madrid midfielder, Luka Modric has warned his teammates that they face a "very difficult match" in next week's Champions League final against Liverpool.
The Reds have defied the odds to make it all the way to the May 26 final in Kiev, remaining on track for their first continental triumph since 2005.
Madrid head into the match as favourites, having lifted the famous trophy in three of the last four seasons, but former Tottenham Hotspur ace Modric is wary of the talent in Liverpool's ranks.
"They weren't one of the favourites, but when you look at the matches they've played you see that Liverpool deserve to be in the final," he is quoted as saying by Spanish outlet Marca. "They're a good team, they have a great coach and a very difficult match awaits us. But we will be prepared."
Madrid beat Bayern Munich 4-3 on aggregate in the semi-finals to progress through, while Liverpool overcome Roma 7-6 across the two legs.


text: Congratulations to Erik & Jessica Lietz of Lietz Properties on their recent purchase of the Sunset Bar & Grill. Plans for the future include a renovation and then to reopen as a full service restaurant. The Lietz's see much potential for growth in Rice Lake and have plans to parcel off a portion of the 26 acre property for future commercial development. Now with full city utilities being installed they hope to attract some larger retail developers to the area. Tentative plans would see a spring 2020 grand opening for the restaurant bar.

Yes, I'd like to be writing all the time. Maybe break a little for more coffee and a bathroom break. I'd like to be in my jammies thinking of high adventure and romance. I'd like to be nibbling different chocolate fantasies. I'd like to have elegant garden parties. I'd like to have a garden for elegant garden parties. I'd like to know enough people to attend an elegant garden party. Skip all that. I'd like a quiet garden to write in. And so goes a writer's mind. Always running off to….
But the reality is, well reality. Danged stuff. Always in the way of a good story.
I'm in a writer's funk. I just spent two hours with an eloquent brother-in-law writing wonderful, elegant, thank you notes for the occasion of his mother's last days. I have bill-paying all around my elbows to where there is no blank space on my desk. The kitchen requires some serious work as my personal chef (husband) has been having a very creative day. All I want to do is pull out my one of my works in progress and immerse myself in a happy place. But, the blog is behind by a day and I can't think of new words to write that would forward the story one bit.
So let us review what I have been able to accomplish lately. I've been reading some published romance work on my Kindle lately while waiting in waiting rooms for my current transportation to be fixed. The stories disturbed me. On a writerly visceral level. They were awesomely intriguing in their storyline, the characters were true to themselves, the places were all well drawn, but I had to work so very hard to keep reading. Why? Only the intriguing story idea kept me going and it was uphill the whole way to a moderately satisfying ending. Gosh. Is my work that good/bad? Dunno. Will never know as I am blind to my own genius/ineptitude. But reading the first book had me really worried. After reading the entire series, uphill both ways, in a blinding blizzard, (what they used to say about walking to school). I finally figured out what the problems was. And what a colossal waste of characters and plot.
It is true. Character is key. The ability to draw/write characters compelling to the imagination and ability to draw a reader into the life of that character is the difference between an indifferent read and a remarkable one. This story series had everything else in great quantity. The characters were well sketched. That was the problem. Sketched. No depth. Yes, they yearned, but in the gray area. Not the dark places that souls molder helplessly. Yes they rejoiced, but not in the sparkly reflection of lights in the eye. Yes, they worried, but not in the frightening muck that smears and takes forever to clear.
I have read many books that were like oatmeal. Bland in every way, but not bad. So I discovered as I cleaned my kitchen where I labored as my mind contemplated, that character development must have layers too. Just like the dried-on yuk on my counter tops, some things are easily removed, some things take more soap, and some things must be scrubbed to shine and gleam. So too must our characters. They must be sometimes transparent, sometimes stubborn, and sometimes very sticky to really be memorable or stories are a waste of ink and paper.
And so I finish this blog, thinking, wishing there were any chocolates in the house but back from the kitchen and in my seat where I want to be—at the keyboard.

Three years after United Nations human rights inspectors first asked to tour the United States' Guantánamo Bay detention facility in Cuba, the Department of Defense appeared to give in Friday, extending an invitation to three of the international body's monitors. The tour will be heavily restricted and the officials will not be allowed to speak with any prisoners.
If the UN accepts the offer, the human rights monitors would tour the facilities and have access to US military officials, according to the Defense Department announcement. Lieutenant Colonel Mark Ballesteros told Voice of America that the inspectors will have the same limited access that US lawmakers and reporters have had, meaning that they will be under guide and not allowed to speak with the detainees.
"They'll meet with the commander of the joint task force," Ballesteros told VOA, the US-government's international news outlet. "They'll receive a briefing on operations by the senior commands and staff, medical staff and interrogation staff. They'll visit the camps and cells housing the detainees. They'll observe operations including recreation, religious, cultural, medical and nutritional practices."
Criticism of the Bush administration's treatment of detainees has intensified in recent months, with human rights groups, peace organizations, former military officials and members of both dominant political parties calling for a range of remedies in the face of growing evidence that abuse is rampant in the international network of prisons run by the US military.
With President Bush threatening to use his veto for the first time since assuming power, the US Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill specifically prohibiting torture at the beginning of October. The bill, backed by former military leaders and human rights organizations, would require the US to follow US law and the Geneva Conventions in handling prisoners detaineed in the "war on terror."
Vice President Dick Cheney asked the measure's sponsor, Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), himself a former prisoner of war, to include an exemption for the Central Intelligence Agency, a move that Human Rights Watch said renders "President Bush's past pledges about humane treatment meaningless." McCain reportedly denied the request.
Two weeks ago, Human Rights First released data showing that over 100 detainees have died while in US military custody since 2002, with 27 of those cases officially recognized by the Army as murders. An analysis by the group found several severe flaws in military investigations into the deaths, leading to suspicion that the situation is even worse than the numbers indicate.
The Pentagon announced the offer to the UN in a statement Friday, noting that "although department policy does not provide for such visits to detention facilities, the Department [of Defense] has determined on an exceptional basis to extend this invitation."

Liquid sugar usually is just simple syrup made from some type of sweetener that has been mixed with water. Choosing the best liquid sugar mainly involves knowing exactly what type of sugar was used to make it. In many instances, a simple water and sugar mixture can be the best because it is sweet, versatile both for adding to drinks and for cooking, and relatively economical. For a more complex flavor that is suitable for baking and for flavoring more robust drinks and foods, a liquid made with brown sugar might be the best. Other factors also can help determine which liquid sugar is the best, including whether certain chemicals or sugar substitutes are desired, how sweet the liquid should be, and whether the syrup should be flavored or plain.
The most basic decision to make when choosing the best liquid sugar is what type of sweetness is desired. Basic white sugar will make a liquid that is equally as sweet as granulated sugar and can be used in drinks such as tea and in cooked recipes. Brown sugar creates syrup that has a deeper, more subtle type of sweetness that can be lost or clash with some beverages, although it does add a less sharp sweetness when used in baking. Pure cane sugar or beet sugar can make a liquid that has a slightly different sweet taste and usually a light, golden color.
Alternately, when extreme sweetness is needed, some liquid sugar is made with ingredients other than pure sugars. Most commonly, commercial manufacturers use fructose and glucose to create a liquid whose sweetness exceeds that of syrups made with white sugar. In some instances, this is beneficial because less of the liquid is needed to sweeten drinks. Artificial sweeteners sometimes are used to make liquid sugar, providing a type of sweet flavor that is unlike natural sugar and has a different nutritional profile.
There are two basic types of liquid sugar that are commercially sold. The first is standard syrup that can be used directly out of the bottle. A second type is condensed liquid, meaning more sugar has been added to create thicker syrup. A concentrated liquid can be more economical at times, although it might have to be diluted before being used. As a general table sugar, standard un-concentrated liquid might be the best choice based on ease of use.
When all else fails, liquid sugar can be made very easily at home. The process involves mixing equal amounts of sugar and water and then heating the mixture in a pan until the sugar has been fully incorporated into the water. The amount and type of sugar added can be adjusted while cooking to achieve the level of sweetness desired.

Would liquid sugar be a healthier substitute than normal sugar?

Kristi Knoblich remembers the sort of cannabis-infused edibles that once lined shelves of medical cannabis dispensaries in California.
It was 2010—packaging and labeling on edibles were amateurish and potency was a roll of the dice. "There weren't any edible products we would purchase ourselves or that we felt confident in buying," recalled Knoblich. Back then, there was nothing, for example, she would buy and give to her mother-in-law.
So, Kiva Confections was born.
"Without testing we really would not exist, because that is the core of the Kiva product."
Seven years later, it is one of the most popular edibles brands on the market, available in 1,000 dispensaries, with a dozen products to tickle your sweet tooth and deliver a consistent, accurate dose of THC.
For Knoblich, 31, Kiva's co-founder, it's about catering to the responsible, not experimental, cannabis consumer. "The Kiva products are targeted at people who have responsibilities and jobs, maybe kids, because they need that reliability," she said. "There's a time and place for experimentation, but not when you have a job and you're trying to keep it together and live an adult life."
Cultivation to Chocolate
Knoblich and her husband, Scott Palmer, were trying to make careers out of photography when the economy went south in 2008. People suddenly didn't want to spend money on professional photos, so the couple began growing cannabis to make ends meet.
In visiting dispensaries and seeing the edibles that were available, they decided there was a need for more professional-looking products with consistent potency, something you could eat without worrying about getting zonked off your gourd.
In 2010, they began making chocolate products in their home, with roommates working as volunteers. While Knoblich focused on cultivation, Palmer spent 10 months tinkering with formulas and recipes, finding extracts that would blend well with chocolate. They also worked with an Oakland laboratory to ensure the products had a "certified potency" they could put on the label.
"Without testing we really would not exist, because that is the core of the Kiva product," Knoblich said.
Sales took off quickly, and within a few months, one of the roommates was on the payroll. Then they moved out of the home kitchen and into a commercial space in Oakland and hired a few more employees.
And so on.
"'Responsible' is such a boring word, but when it comes to cannabis it is extremely important for people to understand the products they're about to consume, especially with edibles."
Expansion and Growth
Today, Kiva Confections has 85 employees. Chocolate bar flavors include ginger dark, vanilla chai, blackberry dark, espresso dark, mint Irish cream, tangerine dark, along with traditional milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Kiva also makes mini chocolate squares and low-dose coated coffee beans and mints.
Knoblich credits Kiva's success to not compromising on taste while still providing a reliable THC delivery method with potency that matches what is listed on the label.
While chocolate bars are still the mainstay, it is the coffee beans and mints that exemplify Kiva's approach to infused edibles. The beans are 5mg of THC and the mints 2.5mg, a low dose for a regular consumer but perfect for the cannabis lover on-the-go.
"It gets you the minimum amount without overdoing it, without feeling any of those negative effects of overconsumption," Knoblich said. "It doesn't interfere with what you're trying to get done in your life."
And while there are many uncertainties ahead for California's cannabis industry, Knoblich feels Kiva is well-placed to meet what is sure to be stringent testing regulations for edibles.
"The one thing we have here in California I feel like is a very passionate patient base. If those people come out and stand up for cannabis and its responsible use, I think that will be a very powerful way to get the attention of the legislature and that will influence our regulations going forward," she said.
"'Responsible' is such a boring word, but when it comes to cannabis it is extremely important for people to understand the products they're about to consume, especially with edibles," Knoblich said. "You can always eat more. You can't eat less."

Katie, on the skinny border, either white or blue would work. The blue makes the bluein the quilt pop. I kind of like the white because it frames the pattern of the quilt blocks. I don't think you can go wrong either way. I love how it turned out. It is really striking.

Silly cat! Love the quilt. I don't think it matters whether you use blue or white or red. Actually, your blue is turquoise, LOL. I think it will look great whatever your choice. Flit doesn't think it will matter either.

Love the kitty :) The quilt is impressive. I was going to say red, but then kept reading that that wasn't an option, so I'd say the blue. Just the black doesn't quite finish it, I think. Whatever you decide, it will be stunning.

You've heard the expression, "Crazy Cat", haven't you? I think maybe you have one! If the quilt were mine, I'd use the blue narrow border, but it's your quilt; you choose! Either way, it will be beautiful!---"Love"

Enjoy drinking on a glass shortly after making whiskey at home
If you are a serious devotee of alcoholic beverages, particularly whiskey then anyone can appreciate sipping on a glass when you finish making whiskey at home. All you require are the best ingredients with a whiskey producing kit not to mention, the most effective possible yeast to produce this heady drink right at home.
You will need appropriate brewing along with distilling equipment based on the kind of whisky that you want to yield at home. You can create scotch whisky or malt whisky without any problems although if you want whisky with numerous character then your whisky will have to cross through the aging method as well as distilleryyeast you will unquestionably have to wait a few months or years before you can grab a drink to your pals.
While mild alcohols such as beer as well as wine use milder versions of the saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, your decided on whiskey will need a stronger kind of whisky yeast even though it is from the same family of fungi. You can set forth making whiskey by adding water to your selected grain along the lines of wheat, barley or maize after milling them with a purpose to form a mixture. This mixture will let go enzymes along the lines of amylase that will convert all starch found in the grains into sugar. You can also include these enzymes by getting them over the internet to deliver a stronger mixture.
Once the starch in the mixture has been modified into sugars like glucose or fructose, and many others then you will need to add your fermenting yeast. You will also need to conduct the sugar fermentation practice with an airlock fitted on the top of the fermenting vessel. Your fermentation will take a few days based on the strength of the whiskey that you desire as well as the temperature of the mixture or mash. Instead of employing ordinary yeast that does not have high alcohol tolerance or dies at temperatures above 27 degrees Celsius, you can opt for tougher yeast like turbo yeast that can present for strong alcohols even at 38 degrees Celsius.
This form of supercharged turboyeast will also offer you with strong alcohol even if you have a weaker mash as well as can order in small sachets for your new hobby as well as the even buy it in sacks if you decide to open up your own brewery or distillery. You will not only get a little leeway in fermenting mash temperature but will also get purer alcohol as a result of the presence of micro nutrients in turbo yeast. Once your fermentation practice is complete then you will need to distill the fermented ethanol or alcohol to generate whiskey.
You will need to transfer the ethanol into your mini-distillery and boil it with a purpose to free up alcohol vapor since alcohol has a lower boiling point than water. This vapor will now need to be condensed by applying a cooling source to convert those vapors back into distilled alcohol. You can now add burnt fruitwood to present that wonderful golden color to your whiskey. You can store your whiskey in oak barrels or casks to give it the required maturity as well as character during the aging method before you can drink this heady alcohol with your loved ones.
You can do whiskey of your choice right at home as well as even proceed to set up your own distillery if you manage to create a work of liquid art. However, you should make sure that you have the most effective ingredients and also right instructions along with hardy yeast just like turbo yeast to ensure that you get strong and as well as pure whiskey. You can surely make merry sipping on a glass after making whiskey at home if you have the greatest guidance and even materials in your hands.

The For-Profit Immigration Imprisonment Racket
Private companies with close ties to government agencies are standing in the way of progress
by: Andrea Jones
Immigration officials sought out undocumented immigrants to apprehend for minor crimes in order to boost deportation numbers, a trove of internal correspondence revealed last week. According to USA Today, federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees were instructed to dig through DMV records for foreign-born license applicants, patrol traffic checkpoints and verify the immigration status of low-level offenders before their release from local jails – efforts that contradict the agency's pledge to limit expulsion to "dangerous criminals," and encourage racial profiling in order to meet what amount to quotas. "The only performance measure that will count this fiscal year is the criminal alien removal target," advised ICE supervisor David Venturella in an email to field officers in April.
The dangerous intimacy between the immigration and criminal justice systems is fostered by executives with high stakes in the human consequences – people like Venturella, who, according to Grassroots Leadership, took a new job in July as Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at the GEO Group, the second highest grossing private prison company in the country.

2018 Season
Big 12 Spring Outlook: A Good Spring Will Be Crucial For Horned Frogs
There's a lot of talent and potential in Fort Worth, but it needs to be developed. Patterson won't have time for off-the-field distractions in March.
It's been close to two months since a Big 12 team played football, but teams all across the conference are getting ready to go back to work for spring. Drills, drills and more drills will once gain be the order of the day as college football players everywhere don their gear to go through practices.
It's time for us to turn our attention to what those practices might mean. We're giving a preview of each team in the conference and exploring the questions they'll try to answer in the coming weeks.
Next, we look at a team that has grabbed headlines for their off-the-field issues. TCU had a strong season last year and managed to grab a spot in the Big 12 championship.
They could find their way there again, but a lot of young players will need to step up. That starts today, when the Horned Frogs open up spring practice.
PRACTICE BEGINS: FRI, March 2
SPRING GAME: SAT, April 7
LOCATION: Amon G. Carter Stadium (Fort Worth, TX)
On the offensive side of the ball, there are a lot of parallels to 2016 for the Horned Frogs – a lack of experience on the offensive line and the need to break in a new quarterback will be among Patterson's concerns.
Can the Frogs prevent a major dip in production like what happened two years ago? The quarterback position may help them there, as former five star recruit Shawn Robinson steps in as the most likely full time guy now. His only real competition come fall might be another five star, Justin Rogers, but he's been recovering from knee ligament surgery and most likely will not practice this spring.
Offensive line coach Chris Thomsen will have his work cut out for him in trying to figure out what TCU should do with the big uglies. The most experienced guys are Lucas Niang at tackle and Cordel Iwuagwu at guard.
The other positions will have to be decided during spring.
Kelton Hollins may takeover at center. The Frogs signed a JUCO tackle, Anthony McKinney, who might provide another starting spot for them, but Austin Meyers is another name to watch there as well.
The biggest question might be who will take over the other guard position – the Frogs have a few players on the roster there, but that will be another spot to keep an eye on.
Of course, TCU has recruited talent at receiver. Jalen Reagor gave some good flashes in 2017 and Omar Manning could really break out for the Horned Frogs. There's not a lot of veterans in the clubhouse, so these spring reps will be crucial for this group.
Running back is probably the strength of this offense. Darius Anderson and Sewo Olonilua are the best duo in the Big 12, meaning they will probably be leaned on in 2018. Will anyone step up behind them to help carry the load?
On defense, TCU has to replace six starters from last year's unit. That includes the need to find a pass rusher at weakside defensive end and a strongside linebacker. At linebacker, Montel Wilson, who has played well, might find some competition from senior Arico Evans.
There are some upperclassmen who may come on in the secondary. Ridwan Issahaku, Tony James and Vernon Scott are names to watch who could step up to fill in starting spots in the back. Also look for Innis Gaines, who sealed TCU's Alamo Bowl win with a late game pick, to rightly have his eye on a starting safety spot.
Overall, there are plenty of questions for Gary Patterson to answer this spring. The offensive line has the most uncertainity by far. If the Horned Frogs can find some answers there over the next month and stay healthy, though, another run at the championship looks possible.

text: I've been here a couple times for lunch now. They have a list of lunch specials 11am-3pm. I've had their Sesame Chicken ($7), General Tso's Chicken ($7), and Mongolian Beef ($7.50). All 3 were delicious. The Sesame Chicken and General Tso's Chicken both came with a side of broccoli. The lunch specials come with choice of white rice, fried rice (50 cents extra), or brown rice (50 cents extra). It also comes with a side of spring roll, egg roll (1 piece), or crab rangoon (2 pieces). Hot and Sour soup or Miso soup or salad can be added for an additional $1. Their food tastes great, but it takes forever for it to be prepared! On each occasion, even when it wasn't busy at the restaurant, it still took what felt like an eternity for the food to finally be served. I'd say it took at least 15-20 minutes the first time I tried this place. This aspect needs improvement.

I've found my ideal home! What do I do now?
If you are in a position to make an offer, then it's best to act straight away. Offering as soon as possible reduces the risk of another interested party coming along and offering or noting interest. If a seller receives more than one note of interest, their Estate Agent will often set a Closing Date.
If you are not in a position to offer right away, then it is advisable to "note interest" through the seller's Solicitor via your own solicitor. This way, if someone else is interested in the property and looking to offer, you will stand a good chance of being informed of their intentions and an equal opportunity of making an offer.
What if the property goes to a closing date?
A Closing Date means that there is more than one interested party intending to offer. The seller's Estate Agent will set the time and date by which all written offers should be submitted by the potential purchaser's solicitor.
By setting a closing date, this can motivate a potential buyer to offer more than they originally intended compared to being the only one bidding on the property.
How do I know if I am a successful bidder?
If there is no closing date on the property and you are the only interested party involved, then you will know right away. Your Estate Agent or Solicitor will contact you.
However, if there are multiple bidders and a closing date has been set, the Offers will be opened at the allocated date & time agreed.
Once the seller has made their decision as to whom the successful bidder is, their Estate Agent or Solicitor will contact all parties concerned to notify them if their offer was successful or not. It is worth remembering that it is not necessarily the top offer that is accepted.

37 Dead, Including 23 Troops as Syrian Army Shells Rebel Bastionإقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
At least 37 people were killed in violence across Syria on Monday, among them 23 soldiers who died in fierce clashes between regime forces and rebels in the central city of Rastan, activists said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said reports indicated that three troop carriers were destroyed in the clashes that began at dawn on the outskirts of the rebel-held city in Homs province, which U.N. observers had toured last month.
A lieutenant who had defected was also killed in the clashes, and random regime gunfire reportedly left two civilians dead in the city of Homs itself.
For its part, the Local Coordination Committees, the main activist group spurring protests on the ground, said security forces killed 11 civilians and three rebels.
It said nine people were killed in the central province of Homs, three in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor, one in the central province of Hama and one in Damascus' suburbs.
Regime forces launched an offensive on Rastan at the weekend but met with sharp resistance from rebels seeking the ouster of the regime of President Bashar Assad.
The Observatory said a child was killed and dozens wounded in shelling of the city by Syrian troops on Sunday. The bombardment by regime forces resumed following Monday's deadly clashes, it added.
"The regime forces in the course of two hours fired 300 rockets at Rastan before launching their assault," Sami Kurdi, the FSA spokesman for Homs province, told Agence France Presse from Rastan.
"The army tried to advance on the city at dawn but it met fierce resistance from FSA soldiers massed there," he added.
"The deserters like the residents of Rastan were on the alert, ready to do anything to prevent the regular troops from entering the town," because "people know what happens when the army enters a town that has revolted," Kurdi said.
Activists and NGOs have accused regime troops of repeatedly committing abuses in pro-rebel areas like Homs and Idlib.
The Observatory reported deadly violence elsewhere on Monday, with three civilians killed by regime forces' gunfire in southern Daraa province, including a child and a Palestinian refugee.
And in Quraya in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor, a 15-year-old boy was killed by machinegun fire as regime forces raided the town, the Observatory said, bringing to at least 30 the number of people reportedly killed.
The watchdog added that 15 residents of the city were arrested.
In the capital Damascus, regime forces raided the neighborhood of Qaboon, while snipers were stationed on the roofs of some buildings.
The watchdog said 45 people -- 25 civilians, 15 soldiers and five rebels -- were killed in a surge of violence in various flashpoints on Sunday, despite a ceasefire brokered by U.N.-Arab League peace envoy Kofi Annan that was supposed to take effect on April 12.
Among the dead were a Shiite imam, Sheikh Abbas al-Laham, who leads the prayers in the Ruqayya mosque in Damascus, a revered place of pilgrimage for many religious Iranians. The cleric was assassinated by unidentified gunmen in Damascus, the Observatory said.
Iran supports the Damascus regime, which since 15 March 2011 has faced an unprecedented popular revolt.
More than 12,000 people, the majority of them civilians, have died since the Syrian uprising began in March 2011, according to the watchdog, including more than 900 killed since the April 12 truce.

Norval Morrisseau (Copper Thunderbird) is arguably the most influential Indigenous artist in Canada. After spending $20,000 at a reputable Toronto gallery to purchase Spirit Energy of Mother Earth, The Barenaked Ladies' Kevin Hearn was surprised to discover the authenticity of his Morrisseau canvas being called into question. This leads the rock star into the tragic and exploitative web of art forgery ring in Canada's north that quickly widens far beyond the canvas. Questions of authenticity, appropriation, and exploitation underlay this devastating story about a visionary artist caught between worlds.

Wizz FIzz Creme Eggs
Taste test - 91%
Value for money - 69%
Easter cheer - 96%
Overall score
It tingles in all the best ways!
"Ha! Really?" was my initial thought when I saw this on the shelf.
I've never been that impressed by any of the Creme Egg variants on sale here in Australia in the past. The Oreo one was good, but was nothing more than an impulse purchase for me. If I was walking past some on sale, I might pick one up on the way to the cash register at the supermarket, but I would never go out of my way – even if that meant making a special trip down an aisle.
So, my expectations were pretty low when it came to the Wizz Fizz Creme Egg. But, I actually really enjoyed this.
Annoyingly, the Wizz Fizz Creme Egg still comes in those awful silver wrappers and not the more solid plastic egg container that the Oreo Creme Eggs came in.
I presume the silver wrappers are better for the environment?
I wasn't sure what to expect entirely once I bit into the egg. Would it be a powder, like from a packet of Wizz Fizz? And if so, where was the trademark Wizz Fizz sherbet shovel?
But it isn't a powder at all. Instead, the experience was more like eating one of those sherbet cones that I vaguely remember from years gone by (do they still sell those anywhere?).
It was delicious to bite into it. Who knew that what Wizz Fizz was missing all these years was to be covered in a thin layer of chocolate?
One of the annoying things about a Creme Egg is how quickly the experience of eating one takes. Just a few bites, and they're gone. That was still the case here, but in addition to the lovely taste of it still dancing around my mouth, I also had a Pop Rocks-style tingling sensation in my mouth that lasted another minute or two.
I don't know whose idea this was – Cadbury or the Australian company who make Wizz Fizz, Fyna Foods, but whoever thought of the pairing initially deserves a raise.
The Wizz-Fizz Creme Eggs will most certainly have me going out of my way to find them next time I'm at the shops. They rule!

Concentrates are a phenomenon that spread like wildfire across the west coast, starting in California and eventually reaching their way up to British Columbia, then the rest of Canada and the states. It's no wonder because this is the most densely potent substance containing THC that someone could possibly smoke. Some of the most lovingly crafted concentrate concoctions have been recorded at purities of nearly 94%, meaning the mass of the substance is almost entirely from THC molecules themselves. It might be hard to find something exactly that high, but a lot of concentrates more easily available still clock in at 70 to 80%, and what's the difference really when you're likely to overindulge anyhow? For some people out there, the astronomically high feeling they get out of smoking this stuff is actually just an awesome, pleasant bonus attached to the amazing flavor and smooth smoke. For vaporizers, however, it isn't always easy to find the best vaporizer to take full advantage of the flavors and aromas. The act itself of dabbing out of a bong can be just as enchanting too, and one unique vaporizer captures the fun of the process in the best vaporizing experience you can get that's similar to smoking.
The FlowerPot vape is unique in the sense that there is no heating chamber that you inhale vapor out of, but instead, the best vaporizer technology is applied to a simple 'e-nail' which you place concentrates directly in.
You can even load the e-nail with concentrate then place it over top a bowl of ground up herb to enjoy vaping both at the same time. You use the FlowerPot in conjunction with a bong and it'shands down the best vaporizer at recreating the smoking experience, minus the carcinogens and tar invading your lungs. The FlowerPot, in particular, costs a dime and a half at about 400$ for a basic starter kit, but there are newly emerging models that execute the concept at a lower cost, but of course, you'll be sacrificing all sorts of quality if you take this route. Overall, reviewers agree that it's the best vaporizer experience money can buy for dabbing enthusiasts.

text: I love this set because each page has two different colors. They compliment each other. I'm showing you the end of the book and there are few pages left. I have been playing with different ideas in making each pages. At that stage, I was adding another layer of paper to them which you can't tell with these pictures. I wanted the paper to bleed through the color. Unfortunately, you really have to have the book with you and look closely to it in order to see it. All in all, I enjoy how I made each pages look different and how it didn't look the same.
