This was the dish I really should have dined on yesterday.
Still, no real harm done. Instead of being a speedy supper it found its true calling as a lightning lunch.
Ready in under 15 minutes, if you get your act together.
This was the dish I really should have dined on yesterday.
Still, no real harm done. Instead of being a speedy supper it found its true calling as a lightning lunch.
Ready in under 15 minutes, if you get your act together.
A Swedish Easter plate, in our family at least, tends to be rather similar to the ones served up at both Midsummer and Christmas, put together from a buffet style spread.
I know what you're thinking. Smörgåsbord.
All things considered, Winter could have been a lot worse.
The frozen season was, even by the relatively gentle standards of Southern Sweden, a mild one.
Dark, short, days, as always, but very little of what my pa-in-law poetically referred to as "The White Crap".
Bouncing around YouTube the other day, like you do, I happened across a recipe for coconut rice.
"Aha", says I to the cat, "that, my furry feline friend, is a prime candidate for a spot of Paleoification, and no mistake!!"
Clan Paleovirtus was on the road yesterday, finally heading home after an extended Christmas Holiday.
This means, amongst other things, that I had a day off from kitchen duties. I could have pulled out a camping stove and a wok on the train, but I think it might not have gone down terribly well with the on-board personnel.
I'd had this dish on the "to-do list" for quite a while, patiently waiting its turn to come out and play, so it was nice to be able to finally get to grips with it.
This is another variation on the theme of cauliflower rice, a bit of an experiment to see how well the "normal" rice based dish would crossover into the Paleo world.
We had high hopes for this dish – our other cauliflower rice based efforts, Pilau and Egg Fried, have been very successful, and have already become firmly entrenched on the Clan Paleovirtus Nom-Nom hit parade.
Another great Friday Night dish, this – a one-pan special perfect for those evenings when you have the luxury of a bit of extra time to spare.
Take last night, for instance. I strung the cooking of this meal out over two very lazy hours, punctuated by tea, a collection of 70s standards on the phone, and interesting snippets of TV.

Thomas Cook opens new hotel as it reassures customers over finances
Embattled travel group Thomas Cook will open a new boutique hotel this week as it seeks to reassure customers over its finances.
Chief executive Peter Fankhauser declared that the company is focused on "giving customers a great holiday" amid a further fall in its share price.
The latest Casa Cook hotel opens in Chania on the Greek island of Crete on Saturday.
The firm said it has sold 70% of available rooms for this summer at the property, which is one of 20 own-brand hotels it is opening this year.
Later this summer, the Casa Cook brand will expand to Ibiza, Spain, and El Gouna in Egypt.
Thomas Cook has struggled recently, as a fall in demand for package holidays and intense online competition resulted in a string of profit warnings.
A £1.5 billion pre-tax half-year loss was announced on Friday.
Shares plunged another 13% on Monday and it has seen its stock market value more than halve over the past week, with the stock down 55%.
Some holidaymakers are contacting the firm via social media to ask if their bookings will be affected by its financial woes.
The company is assuring customers that their holidays will go ahead and insisting "we're not going bust or into administration".
Mr Fankhauser said: "It may be a tough environment for holiday companies but it's a paradise for customers who can get really great value offers for this summer.
"My focus is giving customers a great holiday this summer, and our new Crete Casa Cook is just one of 20 hotels we're opening this year to help us do just that."

Dirt and Sand in Well Water
One of the first issues with sand is properly identifying it as sand. Sand is silicon-dioxide. It is the same sand one will find on most beaches by the ocean. Dirt, soil or even suspended iron particles are often confused with sand or categorized improperly as sand.
We have methods to gain an insight as to how much sand may be coming into your home. Corresponding well water products can then be put in place to stop sand before it enters your home and causes damage and discomfort.
Sand is an extremely heavy and abrasive material and it can damage the home's plumbing. Sand settles in the reservoir tanks of the toilets, in the hot water heater, and in automatic washing machines. Toilets, tubs and other porcelain surfaces are most susceptible to nicks, scratches and physical surface damage. Clothes and fabrics that are being laundered in water with sand content serve as filters or "sand catchers." Fabrics endure more wear and take on sand content within the fibers adding weight and stiffness. Showering with sand content can be irritating to one's skin and cause issues while shaving.
Almost any well will have some form of dirt in the water. Just look in the back of the toilet tank and it is not uncommon to see evidence of dirt debris. Like all suspended solids, this material is a candidate for filtration. The problem of suspended dirt (dirt that does not settle) is that it creates a water condition that is known as turbidity. Turbid waters will have so much material suspended in the water that it actually can make the water cloudy or opaque. The water will appear cloudy and stay cloudy even after it has been allowed to settle in a glass or container for a considerable amount of time. New wells often will have this form of dirt or suspended materials but after running the water to "clear it" the turbid aspect of the water goes away. Lake sourced water is also frequently turbid.
Well water is considered problematic when the water is constantly and relentlessly turbid. Wells that are turbid will also pulsate to a degree or turn clear and then return to the turbid state. Water in this condition is unusable in any meaningful way for domestic use. The particles of mud have become so small that they form an ionic bond to the water molecule itself and thus the dirt will never clear apart from well water treatment.
There comes a point when there is no hope that the water will clear on its own and it is time to turn towards a permanent solution.

our RICH History
The South Carolina Festival of Flowers strives to showcase Greenwood as a destination for flowers, families and fun! It all started 52 years ago with show gardens at Park Seed Company and quickly evolved into a community celebration. Our signature attraction includes 44 "living" topiary sculptures placed throughout Uptown Greenwood.
Everything begins with the Main Weekend, June 7 - 9, 2019. The festival includes over 30+ events throughout the month of June and offers entertainment options ranging from gardening and performances to sporting and cultural events.
Summer of 1968
Greenwood's first South Carolina Festival of Flowers was held in the summer of 1968 to coincide with the 100th anniversary celebration of George W. Park Seed Company. The Festival was the brainchild of what was known then as the Tourist and Conventions Committee of the Greenwood SC Chamber of Commerce. Chamber Director Al Parker and Committee members recognized that Park Seed Company hosted "grower days" each year and that hundreds of professional flower growers came to Greenwood to meander through Park Seed's famous trial gardens. They thought it would be a good idea to capitalize on having those visitors see other venues in Greenwood.
The rest is history. Since that year, the Festival has been built around Park Seed Company's annual Flower Day. Dick Stowe, chair of the Tourist and Conventions Committee, served as the first Festival Chairman, and Judy Funderburk of Bennettsville was crowned Princess of Flowers. During the Festival's early years, admission was free to most events, including the Park Seed gardens and open house, arts and craft show, photo exhibit, military band concerts and other popular attractions.
Change and Growth
Since then, the Festival has grown to include a wide array of activities, many added under the leadership of Frank Cuda, who was Festival Director from 1992 to 2006. In 2007, the Festival celebrated its 40th anniversary and welcomed Kay Self as the new Executive Director.
In 2008, the South Carolina Festival of Flowers introduced a new logo celebrating its Carolina roots. The logo features Yellow Jessamine (the state flower) encircling the words "Festival of Flowers" with two Carolina Wrens (the state birds) perched below.
Also, in 2008 the Topiary Project was launched which brought a whole new dimension to the Festival and has become the Signature event. Presently, there are 44 topiaries on the square in Uptown Greenwood, SC during the month of June.
Then in 2009, the Festival gained regional recognition by winning four Excellence Awards at the Carolina Showfest Convention. The South Carolina Festival of Flowers received awards for "Best Merchandise," "Best Website," and "Overall Event of the Year" for South and North Carolina. Executive Director, Kay Self was also recognized as "South Carolina Director of the Year."
Ellesor G. Holder took the helm in 2011 for the 44th SC Festival of Flowers. She built on the successes of Frank Cuda and Kay Self and continued the tradition of making the Festival one of the best in the state and region. She rebranded the festival with a more distinctive and contemporary logo which symbolized the diversity and floral history of the SC Festival of Flowers.
Under Holder's leadership, the festival received the SC Festival & Event Association's prestigious Excellence Award, 2013 Event of the Year. She also garnered two Silver Awards for the Festival's 2013 TV Ad and Mobile Application/Website at the International Festival and Events Association Conference.
52 Years in June 2019
The SC Festival of Flowers continues to be named one of the Southeast Tourism Society's "Top Twenty Events."
The major cultural goals of the event are: increase awareness of Greenwood, SC as a thriving horticultural community; emphasize through performances and exhibits Greenwood's commitment to the arts in its many forms; and to celebrate Greenwood's relationship with the George W. Park Seed Company, one of America's leading horticultural direct marketing companies.
Not only has the Topiary Project grown but attendance at the Festival has steadily grown too. In the last few years it has reached a record with over 128,000 people visiting Greenwood and taking part in many of the events and activities. In 2018, the economic impact of the SC Festival of Flowers was $5,900,000.
The SC Festival of Flowers is a division of the Greenwood SC Chamber of Commerce and shares the same Board of Directors.

AceShowbiz - Rapper Fabolous is facing a stint behind bars after he was indicted on four felony charges relating to an alleged assault on his longtime girlfriend.
The "Into You" hitmaker, real name John Jackson, was arrested in March after becoming engaged in a heated dispute with "Love & Hip Hop" reality star Emily B, the mother of his two sons, and her dad outside their New Jersey home.
He was accused of third-degree aggravated assault and making terroristic threats, but reportedly rejected a plea deal in July.
The case was presented to members of a grand jury last week (ends October 05), when Fabolous was indicted on one count of domestic violence with significant bodily injury, two counts of threatening to kill, and one of possession of a weapon, after video footage of the clash appeared to show the hip-hop star brandishing a pair of scissors, reports TMZ.com.
The charges are all for third-degree crimes, which each carry a punishment of up to five years in prison.
Fabolous' attorney has yet to comment on the latest developments, but he previously played down the altercation, insisting his client had not committed any crime.
Despite the charges, the rapper seems to have made amends with Emily, as they have since been spotted out together on numerous occasions following the bust up, including on a family vacation in Hawaii in August.
The on/off couple shares sons Johan and Jonas.

Why Do We Need Fats in Our Diet? By Jesse Rodriguez
Top 5 Foods for Recovery
**Editor's Note: Enjoy learning more about nutrition or interested in a personalized meal plan from a Ruthless Performance Nutritionist? Fill out the contact form at RuthlessPerformance.com/contact for more details**
Lean meats
Some of my favorite meats are chicken breasts, turkey, and fish. If you happen to have meats with fat, simply remove the fat to make it "lean".
Flax and chia seeds
Flax and chia are great toppings to add on such as oatmeal, smoothies, and yogurt. Both are high omega 3 fatty acids to help fight inflammation. Our diets mostly consist of omega 6 fatty acids but we need to complement these with the aforementioned omega 3's to avoid negative, pro-inflammatory effects.
Tart cherry Juice
Tart cherry juice has been trending for some time now in sports nutrition but for a good reason. This can be the ideal drink, when paired with a protein source to maximize recovery. Tart cherry juice contains antioxidants to fight inflammation along with melatonin to aid in sleep, on top of carbohydrates, which are needed to refuel the tank.
We need fat in our diet, however most consume too much unhealthy fat such as trans and saturated fat. Avocado is a good source in mono and poly-unsaturated fat. This helps lower Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels and raises our good levels of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL).
Chocolate Milk
The most common recovery drink we see still stands because of its carb-to-protein ratio for absolute recovery. If you happen to be lactose intolerant, simply switch the milk for soy or any other lactose free milk. Just be aware that some may only contain a few grams of protein.
These select foods are either anti-inflammatory to aid in repair from further muscle damage or contain complete protein for more efficient muscle rebuilding. Add them in your recovery meals or shakes to make the most out of your workouts and to maximize health and wellness.
To incorporate this in your diet, a good example after a workout would be to chug a cherry juice and a chocolate milk. Then, have a balanced post-workout meal. Make sure to compliment your meat (or other protein source) with some avocado, vegetables, and whole grains. Serving sizes vary and can depend on your goals. If you decide to consume a protein snack before bed, don't be afraid to add chia or flax seeds with it.
Effects of Alcohol on Performance
Consuming alcohol has been a tried and true means to bring people together to come together in a time of enjoyment and relaxation. In moderation, alcohol can be a good way to relieve stress from high intensity sports or exercise, and can bring teams closer together through group bonding; yet sports performance and recovery has been shown to be inhibited by a number of reasons.
There are numerous statements and opinions out there in the public that bash alcohol in regards to athletic performance. But is there evidence that supports this? The literature says yes.
When ethanol, the main type of alcohol found in beverages, is broken down through metabolism, reactive oxygen species have been found in the liver. These reactive oxygen species promotes inflammation around the body, which shows the body's response to harmful products in the body. This indicates that alcohol does have negative effects on the body. In regard to sports performance, alcohol stimulates many inhibiting processes, such as inhibiting calcium uptake. With a lack of calcium uptake, muscle contractions and strength output are impaired. Dehydration is widely recognized as a possible effect following alcohol consumption. Alcohol has been shown to inhibit an anti-diuretic hormone, thus promoting a loss of fluid through urination. Alcohol also has been shown to be a vasodilator as well, which increases fluid movement around the body, and thus can be another complication in dehydration through evaporation.
For recovery, the big inhibitor is protein synthesis. Alcohol suppresses the pathways that synthesize protein in the body, resulting in depleted muscle growth. Another inhibitor is glycogen reuptake. After a workout, the muscles are depleted of glycogen, which is the storage form of glucose, and the alcohol consumed can take the place of the carbohydrates being broken down to glucose. Thus, muscles are not able to recover to their full potential for the next workout, and they are not able to grow to their full potential through a lack of protein synthesis.
There is a level at which a majority of these inhibitors commence. A drink here or there won't necessarily promote a drastic drop in performance, but consistently reaching that intoxication level around 0.10 BAC will show drops in performance.

NLRB sends Smith case to D.C. for further review
June 30, 2018
Leslie Smith's chances with the National Labor Relations Board filing a lawsuit on her behalf against Zuffa may have taken a detour after the Regional board was instructed to send the case to Washington D.C. for review by the Division of Advice.
On Friday, Smith's attorney, Lucas Middlebrook announced that the NLRB Investigation on Zuffa based on Leslie Smith's Charging Letter had merit and would file a complaint against Zuffa in Federal District Court. Under 10(j) of the National Labor Relations Act, the NLRB could file an injunction against Zuffa which would likely prohibit the company from designating its contracted athletes as independent contractors and make them statutory employees.
Still, in that scenario, Zuffa would have an opportunity to defend itself in Court and oppose an injunction and file a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
But, late Friday night, Middelbrook stated that post-decision, Region 4 had been instructed to send the case to D.C. for review. He opined that this was a favor done by the Republican-led NLRB to the UFC. As you recall, Dana White and President Donald Trump are friends. There is no timetable on how long it would take for the Board of Advice to get through with its review.
Late today Reg. 4 informed us it had been instructed, post-decision, to send case to D.C for review. Opinion: UFC, unable to prevail on merits, pulled political strings to delay responsibility. Blatant delay tactic-Leslie will take all legal means to ensure Reg. 4 decision stands https://t.co/ldQhAzAPyV
— Lucas Middlebrook (@lkmiddleb) June 30, 2018
According to its web site, the Board of Advice, "provides guidance to the General Counsel and to the Regional Officers with respect to difficult or novel legal issues arising in processing of unfair labor practice charges. It determines whether charges have merit and, if so, what legal theories should be advanced in support."
Payout Perspective:
Its an unfortunate turn of events for those rooting for Smith and her cause. What this means is that despite a green light from the regional office, it was recommended to send to D.C. for further review. So, while an initial determination was made, it seems as though someone thought it needed another set of eyes. Could this case get buried and not be heard of a while? Likely. Middlebrook told MMA Fighting that it was in a "holding pattern" at this point. This is not good news for those wishing for swift justice which appeared to be the timeline as Smith filed her letter with the NLRB in May and a determination was made one month later. Now, we could be waiting months to see when a complaint will be filed. Or if it will be filed.

Ever heard someone tell the story of what they felt when they got their first job? It's a bundle of emotions — a mixture of joy and anxiety, as they go to their so-called first day on the job.
Whether you're looking for a food processing human resources career or a customer service position, the worry in all first-day-on-the-jobs are equally related. In fact, Stanislaus Food Products and many popular career portals in the industry know these all too well.
For All Job Hunters
If you've yet to experience the worry of that first day, though, you should read on. Here's what you should do if you want to land that position you're applying for:
1. Advertise YOU
The best thing you can do right now is to know yourself professionally. What are the things you know you can do? What are the things you're not qualified for? These, when asked and compared to the job you're applying for, will tell you whether you're a fit for that position or not.
2. Resume = First impression
Your resume is always the first thing employers will know about you. List all that you think potential employers need to know about you. You should also proofread and check your resume for errors. Remember to keep it simple and straight to the point.
3. Arm yourself with what you need for the job
What you learned in college is only the tip of the iceberg. If you have the means to study up in the industry you want to enter, do it by all means. If not, you can always read up using the Internet for what your desired position entails and how you can nail the position in your favor.
4. Use your connections.
If you have people with knowledge of positions you're looking for, talk to them. Friends and connections are a great way of looking for jobs. As you're also friends, they can give you what it's like to be working for that company or what the position needs.
5. Clean up your act on social media.
Social media is now being used by employers to search potential candidates or research their background. Maintain a clean social media presence; no one's going to hire you based on that night you got really hammered.
It's never easy to search for a job, and let alone land one. It takes a combination of determination, focus, hard work, and optimism to make it all work. Keep at it and you'll be on your own first day on the job before you know it, ready to tackle the first of what could be many days in the office.

Did a shoot at the local state park about two weeks ago and wanted to share some of the photos. Shot these with the D500 and 70-200 f2.8 and it proved that once again that is probably my favorite combo for camera and lenses.
It was a challenge during this shoot to keep the background from blowing out (we were shooting around noon) while keeping good exposure on the face.

Color & Typography
With a reference to the morning sun, industry blueprints, bright orange and blue colors were selected to create the framework of quality and dependability.
To create a strong statement, Montserrat Black was employed as a display font. It's bold presence imitates the structures of a building and it's sharp edges mimic an attention to detail. Nunito, a soft sans serif font, was selected for body text, serving the more approachable and playful position in the brand.
Combined with bright colors and typography, this logo represents the quality, dependable and affordable repair services.
Stickers & Duct Tape
Stickers were designed for various intended uses, like a seal of approval or to tape up an invoice. In addition, duct tape was designed to be used during project fulfillment to mark a spot that needs to be worked on. The idea here is to write any necessary reminders or notes on the tape as needed.

Tick off learning to sail from your bucket list at Sunsail's school in Phuket
Sunsail has an excellent five day learn to sail course in Phuket called the RYA Competent Crew course. It introduces the complete beginner to cruising under sail, and enables them to become an active crew member. This is achieved over 100 miles at sea in tidal waters and four hours of night sailing.
Sunsail's base at Ao Po Marina has excellent facilities and is the starting point for a Phuket sailing holiday or learn to sail course, exploring the beautiful beaches and warm turquoise waters of the surrounding Andaman Sea.
With towering limestone peaks, offshore marine preserves, world-class diving and excellent sailing, a Phuket yacht charter or sailing school ticks all the boxes.
Visit Koh Phing Kan, the 'James Bond Island' where they shot The Man With The Golden Gun, and Maya Bay, the movie location for The Beach, stopping off along the way at sophisticated resorts with lively nightlife or rugged uninhabited islands for peace and tranquility.
The best conditions in Phuket are over the summer months when there are steady winds and a tidal range of 2 – 3 metres meaning that you will get tidal endorsements on any qualifications taken.
Easy passages and secure anchorages make a Phuket yacht charter in the protected waters of the Andaman Sea and Phang-Nga Bay an absolute pleasure for sailors. Daytime temperatures average 32 C (89 F) from July to February; from March to June it is hotter.
Winds range from 5 – 20 knots (5 – 23 Mph), SW from May to October when winds are at their strongest, and NE from November to April.
Combining a schools course here with a yacht charter or holiday ashore, really will give you a sailing school experience to remember.
The Phuket Sailing School is open year round and the course gives students a sound knowledge and understanding of the yacht and all the basic sailing techniques including rope work, mooring up and casting off.
