Saturday Chat | Purpose Tour, Reindeer & more
Hey everyone, I thought I'd do a chat post today as I haven't done one in a couple of weeks, but I only have a few things I want to say:-)
I GOT TICKETS TO JUSTIN'S PURPOSE TOUR! Omg I'm so happy. I was so so nervous and stressed because I was so scared I wasn't going to get tickets at all, let alone on the pre-sale. I've been anxiously waiting for Justin to release UK tour dates since he released the USA ones. I got an email from the Fahlo app on Thursday night telling me I have access to the pre-sale yesterday (I've had the Fahlo app for just over a month and had no idea anything about pre-sales or whatever, so when they announced on Fahlo that there were going to be pre-sales, I was beyond excited/nervous). I'm still in shock that we managed to get tickets because I honestly thought I'd miss it because they sell so quickly. I'm so so excited to see Justin again!
Has anyone else got tickets? If you're going to get tickets on Thursday when they go on general sale, good luck:-D
I visited the new Victoria Secret store that recently opened up in Southampton. I'm always looking at Victoria Secret online but have never bought anything from there. I had never been into one of their stores until this week, as before the Southampton one opened up, I think the closest one to me was London, so I'm happy that there's now one close to me.
Also I watched the Victoria Secret Fashion Show this week and it was soo good. I much preferred this years to last years. Kendall and Gigi looked amazing! Selena Gomez performed this year and she was so good, she's definitely one of my favourite singers! My favourite angels are Candice, Behati and Lily!
Did you watch it? Who's your favourites?:-)
I've got quite a few Christmas posts going up this week, it's going to be a bit of a Christmas post overload. I cannot believe how close Christmas is already, this month has gone so fast. Today I turned myself into a reindeer for a blogpost/video going up soon. I actually quite liked how it turned out:-)
How has your week been? I hope it's been good:-) xx
PS. do you like these types of posts?

The upcoming Audi RS5 has been spotted at the Nurburging track in Germany. The RS5 is considered by many the next and most important competitor of BMW's famous M3. Audi RS5 is powered by 4.2 liter twin-turbo V8 engine which outputs 450 horsepower. On the other hand, the BMW M3 squeezes out 414 horsepower from its 4.0 liter V8 engine, but only comes with the classic rear-wheel-drive system.
Audi RS5 has the famous Quattro system available in either six-speed manual or seven-speed twin-clutch. Even though no official information are available at this point, the RS5 is rumored to run from 0-60 mph in only 4.5 seconds, only 0.1 seconds faster than the M3.
Audi's design follows the same line as the other RS-models, dual-oval exhaust pipes integrated into the rear-bumper and a more aggressive front fascia.
Based on what we know so far, an obvious questions arises: should BMW worry about the Audi RS5 coupe? We've said it many times in the past, Audi has become an important competitor, if not the most important one, for BMW on almost all the markets and car segments.

The recently enacted UK Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act embodies a new relation between state and society. This relation has been implicit, developing slowly and inherent in many pieces of legislation, but this law embodies it overtly and completely.
From my conversations with civil servants involved in drafting the powers, it became clear that the underlying idea of the law is that local authorities should be 'enabled' to do whatever they want to do. In the consultation process, local authorities were asked: 'Is there anything that you would want to do that is not covered by these powers?' That is, they were asked not, 'what does this allow you to do?', but 'is there anything you can't do?'.
Here we see a new approach to law and to lawmaking: the development of the freedom of action of state officials, as an end in itself.
Historically, it was the freedom of civil society that was promoted as an end in itself: freedom of speech and of association were promoted as goods in themselves, regardless of how people chose to use these freedoms. Now it is the freedom of the state that is developed systematically as a project, and which requires no further justification. The expansion and creation of new powers is seen as good in itself, be it a law-and-order policy or a neighbourhood-renewal strategy.
Increasingly, to solve social problems means to create new powers. The ASB Act includes 'public-space protection orders', 'community-protection notices', 'dispersal powers', as well as new behavioural injunctions and powers of eviction (see ASB Act guide). So – by a strange inversion – it is through giving the state new powers that a community is served, and public space 'protected'.

My son, Haigh Nicholson, has been in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Columbia and other South American countries where he has been learning Spanish and then travelling with my daughter in Chile and Argentina on bicycles before returning back to Australia.
Haigh reported that at that time the construction of the Baha'i Temple in Chile east of Santiago had apparently been held up by practical issues that caused delays. See picture above and below. It will have nine translucent spinaker sails. It is in the Panelolen district in the foothills of the Andes and on the eastern fringe of the City. It has already been given a design award (see below).
An early model of the Baha'i House of Worship for the South American continent, simulating how it will appear at night. Foundation work is well under way for the new Baha'i House of Worship for the South American continent, in the Chilean capital of Santiago. The House of Worship, with its surrounding water gardens of plant species native to the region, will cover some 10 hectares of a 50 hectare site. Excavation has now being completed of an area measuring 62 meters in diameter, and the building's foundations are underway. The diameter of the House of Worship itself is approximately 30 meters.
"Striking and original"
The project to construct a Baha'i House of Worship in Chile was announced in 2001. A call for submission of designs was made the following year by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Chile, eliciting 185 entries from more than 80 countries.
The design brief called for a domed structure with nine entrances which, symbolically, would welcome people from all directions of the earth for the praise and glorification of God. From a shortlist of four entries, Hariri Pontarini Architects was given the go-ahead to develop its scheme, described by the Universal House of Justice in its recent message as a "striking and original design."
The building consists of an arrangement of nine translucent "wings," rising directly from the ground, and giving the impression of floating over a large reflecting lily pool. The wings will allow sunlight to filter through during the day, while at night the House of Worship will emit a warm glow from its interior lighting.
The innovative design required that an entirely new form of cast glass be invented for the building's exterior. "That was an exploratory journey that took some 18 months," says Mr. Hariri, whose team needed to develop technologies that would ensure the building's survival in the environmental conditions of the location, a highly active seismic zone.
Award-winning design
Since it was first unveiled, the design for the House of Worship has been praised in more than 40 international journals, and received numerous accolades. Canadian Architect featured the building as one of its 2004 Awards of
Excellence. A judge described it as representing "a rare convergence of forces that seem destined to produce a monument so unique as to become a global landmark..."
Most recently, in August, a global panel of almost 100 judges named the House of Worship joint winner in the World Architecture News "Civic Building - Unbuilt" award category.
Baha'i temples all have 9 sides with 9 doors, representing the various great revealed religions, with the one supreme God of all represented in the centre. Inside are the holy books of all these religions. The only words spoken, chanted or sung inside are from these holy books. There are no priests or sermons and no offerings. They are open to all people for divine worship only.

A 440-mile trek in the winter of 1861-62
Spring is near and a brutal winter has passed –– we hope –– to be remembered by many as the Great Storm of 2017.
Of all the storms to hit this region, however, the worst was a 43-day mega-storm that began in early December 1861. Floods ripped out bridges, homes and businesses throughout the foothills, including in Nevada City, and an inland sea at least 300 miles long and 20 miles wide formed in the valley.
That December, during the height of the storm, Bill Stewart, a pioneer Nevada City miner and attorney, performed a physical feat ideally suited for a Leonardo DiCaprio movie.
Stewart, then 34, owned a half-interest in a very productive gold mine on the Carson River in the Nevada Territory. But when snow in the mountains melted from a sudden warm rain, the Carson River flooded and his mine site was destroyed. Nothing remained but a barren gravel bar.
Faced with costly reconstruction and the need for new stamp mills, he decided to venture west with the aim of catching a steamer in Sacramento so he could go to San Francisco to borrow money from a friend there. With the loan, he knew he could get the rich mine back in operation.
The snow was too deep for a horse, so he packed a knapsack, grabbed his snowshoes and set out on foot.
The Great Storm of 1861-62 was in full force as Stewart trudged through miles of snow from his mine below Gold Hill in Storey County to Yanks Station at Meyers, south of Lake Tahoe. He camped at Yanks overnight and the next day followed the snow-covered trans-Sierra wagon trail up to Strawberry Ranch, where he found shelter to sleep.
On the third day of his odyssey, he continued following the El Dorado County wagon trail above the South Fork of the American River and made it to Placerville, a distance of nearly 50 miles. Heavy rain was falling there, but no snow.
Once in Placerville, he bought a horse, intending to ride it to Sacramento then catch a steamer to San Francisco. Just beyond Folsom, however, the water became too deep to continue, so he found a man willing to take the horse in trade for a rowboat ride to Sacramento.
The boatman got them to Sacramento that evening, where the two of them slept in the second story of a flooded house.
The following morning, Stewart paid the boatman to row around the Sacramento waterfront until they found a steamer headed west. And before the sun set that evening, he was at his friend's house in San Francisco.
Stewart's friend loaned the former Nevada City attorney $32,000 –– a huge sum in 1861 –– secured by his share of the demolished, flooded mine on the Carson River. And with that, Stewart began retracing his steps.
He took a steamer from San Francisco to Sacramento, hired a boatman to row him to Folsom, then bought a horse and rode 20 miles to Placerville. Once there, he sold the horse and began on foot, walking toward Johnson Pass (now Echo Summit), eventually reaching his home in Gold Hill.
On foot, on snowshoes, on horseback and in rowboats, the route Bill Stewart followed to and from Sacramento was essentially the route of present-day U.S. Highway 50. The 440-mile roundtrip during the worst storm in recorded California history, (including 130 nautical miles), took Stewart only ten days.
With the $32,000 loan, he soon had the mine back in operation. And in March, he sold his share for $60,000 and repaid the loan. Three years later, he became a U. S. senator from the new state of Nevada, serving a total of 28 years (1865-1875 and 1887-1905)
In 1909, the 81-year-old former Nevada County District Attorney died while visiting Washington, D.C. on business.

Payroll outsourcing is something that you should consider when you have your own business. This is because of many different reasons. The one thing that all businesses should do is their payroll. If you can hire someone to do it for you, there are many benefits for you and your business. Here are some reasons why you should outsource the payroll of your company to an experienced company:

2011 Devil's Haven Haunted House Review
(Click to Enlarge)
3D House:
3 to 4
Minutes *
Haunted House:
7 Minutes *
Since people move through haunted attractions at different
rates, your time will vary. Note:
The time shown here represents the actual time spent moving
forward through the attraction. Time spent waiting in queue
lines, staging areas, intro scenes, rules rooms and when traffic
jams cause patrons to come to a halt, has been subtracted.
3D House:
In this "3D" attraction there were several themes, including a
funeral, forest of trees, clowns and splatter patterns.
There was also an area they called "Club Crypt", which featured
a lone ghoul dancing underneath several severed heads hanging
from the ceiling.
At various points within
the haunt, there were actors positioned behind drop panels.
Unfortunately in almost every case, their timing was late and my
entire group had already walked by, before they attempted their
scares. Along with the actors, I saw a few animated
pop-out props, as well.
Throughout the house,
there were significant issues with the 3D effect, which really
put a damper on the experience overall. I don't know if it
was the high level of ambient lighting, not enough black lights
or just the artwork itself, but for whatever reason, the 3D
illusion just didn't seem to work that well.
Haunted House:
According to their website, this haunted house has three levels.
While that may be technically
true, keep in mind that it isn't really three full-sized levels,
like the stories of a house. Along the path of the
attraction, patrons would briefly go up and down to the
different "levels" via a few short flights of stairs.
There was also a yellow kiddie slide that took you down from one
level to another.
Throughout the attraction there were several scenes of varying themes,
separated by dark hallways. Some of the more prominent
scenes included a morgue, a clown room and a cemetery crypt. The morgue was one of the most detailed areas inside the attraction. It featured a wall of morgue drawers and multiple autopsy tables, with a rotting corpse laying on one and a scantily-clad girl screaming for help,
laying on another. In another area, there was a
hallway with hanging clowns you had to push aside to get
through. This led to a larger clown room; however, in this room there were
only a few props that were spread around sparingly.
In the middle of the house, there was one long hallway with a
low ceiling that forced you to duck down, in order to get through to the next scene. As I moved along, an actress could be heard screaming in the distance. Unfortunately actor safety wasn't fully thought out in this area. The actress was actually laying on the ground and as I shuffled along
in the dark, I accidentally tripped over her.
There seemed to be a sufficient number of actors on the night
that I attended. Acting styles varied inside the haunted house,
but majority of the scare attempts were attacks from dark
corners. There were, however, a few actors who had speaking
parts. The most entertaining performances were those from the
butcher and the funny girl in the clown maze. Scare timing
was inconsistent, though. With the exception of the butcher and
clown scenes, costumes weren't really that elaborate. The actors
attempting pop-out or corner scares were dressed in simple
hooded cloaks, with either generic masks or basic make-up. Also, not all of the costumes were consistent with the scenes they were in. At the end of the clown hallway, one of the "clowns" was wearing jean shorts and a tie-die shirt.
Along with the actors there were a number of animated props,
although they weren't used in conjunction with any actor
scares. There were primarily used as eye-candy.
Unfortunately, the
ending of the attraction was completely anticlimactic. In
the last scene, patrons were sent through a claustrophobia
hallway*; their next stop was the
parking lot. How disappointing!
I will have to say that I was very disappointed with this haunted
attraction. While the show had a few redeeming qualities, the
bad far outweighed the good. First of all,
they were very poorly organized. It was their second
weekend open, yet they didn't start letting customers into
the main haunted house until around 9:30pm or so (which is a full 2.5 hours past their advertised starting time).
There were serious technical problems with the 3D House (to the
point that it wasn't even really a 3D house) and
there were actor issues in both attractions.
Last but not least, this
was their first year in operation, yet they decided to charge
$30 admission. Seriously? Most of the top-rated
haunted houses in the Chicagoland area don't even come close to
charging that much, much less a brand new attraction like this
one! Considering this event's lack of entertainment
value, along with the fact that I walked through both
attractions in less than 11 minutes, charging such an
overinflated admission price is just absurd and completely out
of line. If you charge an arm & a leg, and then don't
provide a reasonable level of entertainment value in return,
customers will feel ripped off. I know that's the way that I
felt, as I walked out the exit.
Sadly, it seems that this newcomer in the haunted
house business is just looking to capitalize on the popularity
of Halloween and make a quick buck. It is events like this
that give the Haunted Attraction Industry a bad name. Needless
to say, this event is definitely not worth the ridiculous
admission price.

event, visit:

that patrons have to push their way through.

"Data from Vlingo's third annual 'Texting While Driving' in America Report found that while more state laws exist today to ban texting while driving, 35% of mobile phone users continue to text behind the wheel," said Dave Grannan, president and CEO at Vlingo. "Since launching Vlingo InCar on October 7, the average user is using Vlingo 65% more each day. Now, with additional carrier support, we are arming more Android™ users with an alternative solution that will hopefully keep the roads a little safer."
Following a limited release of InCar two week ago, Vlingo saw an unprecedented grassroots response from its customers requesting InCar on Vlingo's Facebook page. In just one week over 600 people from unsupported carriers left comments asking for InCar to be made available to them. Here's a sampling of those anonymous requests:
- Need, need, need. But need it on my VERIZON HTC Incredible. Please?
- I won't eat or sleep until you release this on Verizon. Well...that's not true. Would it help if I said "pretty please?" Alright. Fine. PRETTY PLEASE!!!
- This app would certainly be well received by T-Mobile customers using Droid technology. The use of Vlingo as an added safety precaution should be mandatory for ALL, eventually becoming an industry standard. THINK OF IT AS A CELLULAR SEATBELT !!!
- I love Vlingo. This would make it even better...AND safer. AT&T needs to add this to their app store.
Vlingo also launched a new feature called "Vlingo Answers." Users simply speak to ask a question, in any form, and have the answer read to them, out loud, immediately. Vlingo's data currently shows that the most commonly asked question asked to date is "How many feet in a mile?" The answer: 1mile = 5280 feet.

ARLINGTON (AP) – David Murphy had a pair of solo home runs among his four hits and Josh Hamilton put the AL West-leading Texas Rangers ahead to stay with his 20th homer in a 10-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.
Murphy already had both of his homers, his 10th and 11th of the season, before Hamilton hit a scorching liner off Justin Masterson (11-10) into the right-center field seats by the Texas bullpen for a 4-2 lead in the fifth.
Adrian Beltre extended his hitting streak to 17 games, matching a career high, when he led off the seventh with a 411-foot blast.
Matt Harrison (12-9) gave up three runs on seven hits while pitching into the sixth inning in his first start in nine days. The left-hander struck out four and walked one.

Security officials say the Lebanese military has detained a wife and child of Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The officials say the woman and child are being held and questioned at Lebanon's defense ministry, after being detained about 10 days ago near the border with Syria, while carrying fake identification cards.
The arrest of the second wife of the Islamic State leader was revealed Tuesday, but Lebanese officials say she was taken into custody more than a week ago with one of her children. Beirut's As Safir newspaper indicated she is being interrogated at the Lebanese defense ministry. Officials declined to give any details.
Lebanese media report that the woman, who goes by the name of Saja Dulaimi, had been living in the northern port city of Tripoli with a false identity card. Sky News Arabia reported that Dulaimi is a Syrian national, while another Arab station said she is Iraqi.
Arab media showed amateur video of Dulaimi being released by Syrian authorities last March in exchange for a group of nuns who had been seized by the al-Qaida-linked group Jabhat al Nusra.
The nuns' captors shouted and chanted to celebrate as the exchange took place. Dulaimi is seen in the video with at least one of her three children.
Al Arabiya TV said the Lebanese government announced Dulaimi's arrest as a bargaining chip in negotiations for the release of a number of Lebanese Army soldiers being held by Jabhat al Nusra.
The Sunni militant group has threatened to kill at least one of those soldiers, a Shi'ite Muslim, unless several group members held by Lebanon are released. Jabhat al Nusra has already executed several Shi'ite Lebanese Army soldiers that it held.
It was not immediately clear however, what leverage Dulaimi's announced capture could have in that matter since her husband heads the rival Islamic State group. The two Islamist factions have fought bitter battles over parts of Syria and have frequently executed each other's partisans. Yet, on several occasions, fighters from both groups have worked together against common enemies.
Hilal Khashan, who teaches political science at the American University of Beirut, tells VOA that he thinks Dulaimi will eventually be released as part of a prisoner exchange, but he does not believe that she is an extremely valuable prisoner.
"If she were significant, she would have been based in safer places. Needless to say, the [Islamic State leader] has many wives and I understand he also has concubines and the arrest of one of his wives wouldn't really mean much for him," Khashan said. "Remember, ISIL used to sell Yazidi women for prices between $25 to $125, so I don't think this is the catch of the day."
Abu Bakr al Baghdadi is the self-proclaimed "caliph" of the "Islamic State" over which he presides in parts of Syria and Iraq now under his group's control. He was reportedly injured in a coalition airstrike over western Iraq last month, but resurfaced in an audio message several weeks ago.
Very little is known about Baghdadi's personal life, including how many wives and children he has. Islamic law allows men to marry up to four women. Media reports say his detained wife was of either Iraqi or Syrian nationality.

Jean Mangun and John Phelps
Department of Forestry
Southern Illinois University Carbondale
What Firms Make-up the Illinois Forest Products Industry? The forests of Illinois are capable of producing high quality hardwoods for a variety of consumer products. Production occurs predominantly on private forestland. There are over 1,000 members of the Illinois Tree Farm Program with an average land holding of 83 acres. Timber buyers and logging firms who get the logs to market make-up the timber harvesting industry. Primary woodusing industries include saw mills, veneer mills, and manufacturers of lumber and unfinished products from logs. Secondary wood-using industries include all firms that use lumber and other primary industry products in the manufacture of finished products.
Illinois timber often leaves the state to be processed. Photo credit: J. Mangun
What Role Do Forest Products Play in the Illinois Economy? Forest product producers and manufacturing firms comprise a small but important part of the State's economy, particularly in rural counties. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that the relative contribution of paper and wood products manufacturing to the 2003 Illinois Gross State Product has followed national trends in the manufacturing sector and declined to 0.5% (2.5 billion current dollars). The 2004 Illinois Statistical Abstract reports that in 2002, Illinois forestry, logging, wood and paper manufacturing employed over 40,000, agriculture and forestry support activities over 12,000, and furniture and related products manufacturing over 20,000 people. The forestry, logging, wood and paper manufacturing categories combined had a total annual personal income and earnings value of 2.1 billion in 2002.
Where Do Opportunities Exist? The entire Illinois forest-related sector should view the global demand for forest products as an opportunity. A 2002 Australian study forecasted that international demand for wood products is expected to increase by approximately 1.2% per year until at least 2010. In the Asian Pacific region, net imports are expected to exceed 200 million tons annually. Closer to home, new housing sales in the U.S. market reached an all time record in 2002 with a total of 976,000 units. Environmental concerns, which are putting the brakes on wood production in many regions, make timber sourced from certified, sustainable forestry operations both ecologically and economically attractive.
"A large portion of Illinois' highest value timber products are processed outside Illinois and outside the US. . . We are losing an opportunity for value added products that could be a major factor in local Illinois economies."
-Illinois citizen comment
What Actions Should Be Taken? The modern business environment is increasingly complex and the nature of the global economy adds even more complexity. Before doing business in the global marketplace, Illinois firms need to develop state-level strategies and to build competitive advantage. The key for the Illinois economy is that we do not simply become a source of timber for other states or countries, but rather that value be added through manufacturing before Illinois wood leaves the state.
Some chronic problems within the Illinois forest sector first need to be addressed. Many Illinois secondary wood-using firms remain unaware that quality Illinois hardwoods are available. No central market exists to bring buyer and seller together. The number of primary wood-using firms in Illinois has sharply declined due to comparatively high workers' compensation and unemployment insurance rates, as well as energy and transportation costs. This unfavorable economic climate causes Illinois timber to leave the state to be processed.
Illinois' increasing number of private forest landowners has also created a situation in which many landowners are unaware of the value of their timber and how, with a professionally prepared management plan, it can be harvested in an environmentally responsible manner. Efforts to establish regional landowner associations to support more effective information dissemination need to be pursued. Participation in voluntary certification programs such as the Sustainable Forestry Initiative Program of the American Forest & Paper Association should be explored.
State and county economic development programs should increase support for forest-based industries. Assistance to increase marketing capacity, improve access to financing and capital, and revise taxation formulas will be necessary to stimulate entrepreneurial business development in the Illinois forest products industry.

FRESNO, Calif. --Dozens of people gathered to remember a 21-year-old Fresno woman killed in a single-car crash early Saturday morning.
Friends and family held a candlelight vigil at the scene where Lindsay Kavookjian crashed her car into a wall. It happened near Clinton and Polk Avenues in West Central Fresno just a few hundred feet from where Kavookjian lived.
Her family says she was on her way home around 2 a.m. Saturday. They say the amount of people remembering her Sunday showed how much people will miss her.
Paul Torres, the victim's uncle said, "You can always know she had a lot of friends. But to see this kind of turnout is amazing and how far she reaches."
What caused Kavookjian to crash is still under investigation.

Mid-Century Designers Who Are Not Charles and Ray Eames
Artsy Editorial
In the early 1940s, the Los Angeles department store Barker Brothers invited Greta Magnusson Grossman to design exclusively for their burgeoning modern floor. At the time, Barkers was among the largest home-furnishings stores in the world, and were at the forefront of championing new styles and materials. The press lauded Grossman's designs for their "style, individuality, vigor and directness." For her part, Grossman's now-famous quote about her designs from this period explained that they "developed out of our own preferences for living in a modern way."
This sofa comes from her line for Barker Brothers. Seating could be custom-ordered to the client's needs and specifications and Grossman specified this piece for her own residence in Beverly Hills, which she also designed. The sofa was in the home through the next owner and was removed when the house was redone in the early 2000s. The piece has been reupholstered but otherwise remains in original condition.
Greta Magnusson Grossman designed houses, interiors, furniture, and lighting over the course of her long career. Born in Sweden, Grossman migrated to Southern California and began working in the post-modernist aesthetic of the day along with contemporaries such as Charles and Ray Eames, Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, and others. As both an industrial designer and architect, Grossman's influence was far-reaching among the Southern California design movement. She effortlessly combined her Scandinavian design training with the relaxed lifestyle and furniture of the Southern Californian environment to produce livable modern interiors, still relevant today.

How to Grill Sea Scallops Wrapped in Bacon
Sea scallops wrapped in bacon is one of those classic combinations that seafood restaurants seem to do so well. The bacon is always crisp but not burned, and the scallops are tender and juicy. However, you may find that when you try to re-create the dish at home, the bacon burns and the scallops become overcooked and rubbery. You may be tempted to give up on the idea, but there are a few tricks to making your grilled bacon-wrapped scallops every bit as good as the scallops from your favorite seafood restaurant.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Preheat the grill to medium, or 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
Wrap a piece of bacon from the bottom of the scallop to the top, and then around the side of the scallop as you would wind a ball of yarn. Cover as much of the scallop as possible. Poke a toothpick through the bacon and into the scallop, if necessary, to prevent the bacon from unraveling.
Step 3
Push a metal skewer through two scallops.
Step 4
Place the skewers perpendicular to the grill grates, and cook them for about six minutes, or until the bacon has browned on the bottom side.
Step 5
Turn the skewers, using a hot pad or glove to protect your hand, and cook the other side for six more minutes.
Step 6
Take the scallops off the grill, and let them cool until the skewers are cool enough to handle. Serve them on the skewers.

Tipperary town students stage 'Grease'at the Excel
This year the Abbey C.B.S. and St Annes Secondary School are again collaborating to stage the musical "Grease" at the Excel in Tipperary Town.
These joint productions between the transition year students of both schools have become one of the highlights of the entertainment year in Tipperary. The show is again being produced by Mr Michael O'Donoghue and the musical director is Mr Pat Marnane.
The storyline is about teens in love in the 1950s. It's California, 1959 and greaser Danny Zuko (Pearse O'Dwyer), and Australian Sandy Dumbrowski (Ruta Petkute)are in love. They spend time at the beach but when they go back to school what either of them don't realise is that they both now attend Rydell High. Danny is the leader of the T-Birds, a group of black-jacket greasers including Kenickie while Sandy hangs with the Pink Ladies, Rizzo (Megan Keating O'Connor), Frenchy (Louise Dalton), Marty (Orla O'Connor) and Jan (Faith Cummins) a group of pink-wearing girls. When they clash at Rydell's first pep rally, Danny doesn't behave like he did at the beach.
Grease has many well-known songs, which include "Summer Nights", "You're the One That I Want", "Greased Lightning", "We Go Together", " Those Magic Changes" and "Hopelessly Devoted to You". Also in this musical are songs including "Mooning", "Sandy", "Blue Moon", Rock and Roll Party Queen", "Hand Jive" and "Grease is the Word". All these fun-filled songs contribute to a lively enjoyable musical
The show is being held on Thursday 29th, Friday 30th November and Saturday December 1st at 8.00pm. and booking has opened at the Excel.
Tickets for these shows sell like hotcakes every year so don't leave it to the last minute to get your tickets for a night that is guaranteed to be one of great fun and lively

Communication Center on the Nokia N900
Today I would like to talk with you about the integration of communication that the N900 makes possible. There is a lot of videos of the N900 going around the internet, and one called my attention. This is a review of the Communication Center of the N900. Very nice, but the bad news for us is that It is in Italian. Still I decided to go for it, and tried to understand it and write a post about this, because it´s a quite a particular information. So, before continuing I want to say that I´m sorry for my bad translation.
As you might know, the Nokia N900 should be only an internet tablet, but now it is also a phone. What does this means? It means that Nokia has added to it, one of most important communication and popular technologies, the cell phone. So you don't only have the Internet connections like Skype, MSN, etc. but you also are able to make regular phone calls or SMS. But it doesn´t ends there! By adding the GSM chip, now you are able to use internet when Wi-Fi it´s not available by connecting by EDGE, HSPDA, 3G.
Let´s see the video first, and then we talk about it!
Video Review
In the first part of the video, it´s shown how you are able to be connected to most of the popular accounts like Gmail, Ovi, Skype, etc. all of them simultaneously. And how you can decide in each one which status you want to be. This way you are communicated with everyone by the internet, all your friends, your partners, your work colleagues.
Later on the video, when the guys activate the keyboard on the touch screen display, is showing how you are able to make a call. The first thing he does (when he touches the button at the top of the screen) it´s to select which account he would use to make the call. So those shown would be through Skype (regular Skype-to-Skype call or Skype-out), cell phone (GSM network), Google Talk.
And in the last part, back on the communication center, he tries to show another way to make a call to one of your contacts. By using the ones he has on the desktop, he selects one and there we can see how the N900 shows all the way to contact that person. In the case of the video, it´s only Skype chat or Skype call, but also you can have on it the others communication services.
What I want to highlight, as I said on the beginning of this post, it´s the integration. With this mobile phone plus Internet Tablet or Internet Tablet plus mobile phone (you decide the way you want to see it), you have right at your hand every kind of popular communication, and you can take it and use it everywhere! Simply amazing.

Trick-or-treat times set for four area towns
By News-Argus Staff
Published in News on October 23, 2009 1:46 PM
The ghosts, goblins and other creatures that will haunt Mount Olive, Seven Springs, Calypso and Faison on Halloween will be following a similar schedule.
The hours for trick-or-treating will begin at 6 p.m. and residents who plan to pass out the treats are asked to leave their porch lights on in Mount Olive, Calypso and Faison.
The town of Seven Springs will hold its annual Halloween in the park.
The age range for the trick-or-treaters in Mount Olive is newborn to age 14.
In Mount Olive, the Jaycees will be giving away glow sticks on a first-come, first-served basis at the corner of Main and Wooten streets. Police also will give out candy at the police station.
"Extra officers will be out patrolling," Mount Olive Chief of Police Ralph Schroeder said.
There have been "no real problems" in town in recent years, Schroeder said.
"We get somebody driving too fast," he said. "We ask the drivers to drive slowly and carefully."
Also, parents need to walk with their children, he said. Adult chaperones are requested not to wear masks if they do dress up in costume, Schroeder said.
Parents are reminded to dress their children in costumes and bags that include reflective materials.
Police strongly encourage drivers to park in one of the parking lots or fields that are normally used for parking as opposed to riding slowly with their four-way flashers turned on.

Home > News > New Study Gives Bronson Hospitals A in Hospital Safety
Published on July 10, 2012
Bronson Methodist Hospital and Bronson Battle Creek Hospital were both honored with an "A" Hospital Safety ScoreSM by The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits. The Hospital Safety ScoreSM was calculated using publicly available data on patient injuries, medical and medication errors, and infections. U.S. hospitals were assigned an A, B, C, D, or F for their safety. Leapfrog's information comes from two sources: its own surveys of hospitals that agree to participate, and data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid's, Hospital Compare website. Leapfrog says that the way the scores are calculated does not disadvantage hospitals that don't participate in Leapfrog's survey.
"Bronson's requirements for excellence are to provide safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patient and family centered care to those we serve," said Marijo Snyder, MD, vice president, system quality and medical staff development. "This 'A' confirms our work toward these requirements to be a national leader in healthcare quality. Our doctors, nurses and staff continue to raise the bar, remain vigilant for safety, and partner with patients and families to deliver high quality care using the latest evidence-based practices and technology. Leapfrog's Hospital Safety Score provides another tool for our communities to compare Bronson's performance to others and challenge us all to do our best."
"It's The Leapfrog Group's goal to give patients the information they need and deserve before even entering a hospital," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "We congratulate the hospitals that earned an 'A' and we look forward to the day when all hospitals in the U.S. will earn the highest scores for putting patient safety first."
To see scores for Bronson Methodist Hospital and Bronson Battle Creek Hospital as they compare nationally and locally, visit www.hospitalsafetyscore.org, the Hospital Safety ScoreSM website, which also provides information on how the public can protect themselves and loved ones during a hospital stay.
Calculated under the guidance of The Leapfrog Group's nine-member Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 26 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single score representing a hospital's overall capacity to keep patients safe from infections, injuries, and medical and medication errors. The panel includes: John Birkmeyer (University of Michigan), Ashish Jha (Harvard University), Lucian Leape (Harvard University), Arnold Millstein (Stanford University), Peter Pronovost (Johns Hopkins University), Patrick Romano (University of California, Davis), Sara Singer (Harvard University), Tim Vogus (Vanderbilt University), and Robert Wachter (University of California, San Francisco).

Lore:Reymon Ebonarm
Reymon Ebonarm (also called Ebonarm or the Black Knight) is the God of War and the companion and protector of all warriors. He is said to ride a golden stallion named War Master, and is accompanied by a pair of huge ravens. Ebonarm's name refers to the ebony sword fused to his right arm, a result of the wounds he suffered in titanic battles of the past, and he is never seen without a full suit of ebony armor. He is described as bearded, tall and muscular, and as having flowing reddish blonde hair and steel blue eyes. Emblazoned on his ebony tower shield is the symbol of a red rose, a flower known for blooming on battlefields where he appears. According to legend, he appears on the field of battle to reconcile opposing sides and prevent bloodshed.[1][2]
In the tale of King Edward, Ebonarm was the one who gave the mortal Sai the gift of immortality when he died in battle, in return for taking on the role of the God of Luck. Sai did Ebonarm's bidding for many years, but when he fell in love with a woman named Josea he became lax in his duty. A host of gods visited him, Ebonarm taking the form of a black knight, and demanded he leave his family. Ebonarm demanded he fix the problems he had caused staying in one area for too long, which took Sai one hundred and fifty years to do.[3]
He is also an enemy of all of the Daedric Princes except Sheogorath, as well as the Temple of Stendarr and the Cabal, a subfaction of the Mages Guild. He is allied with none, although he does lead the Citadel of Ebonarm, consisting of mosques and a knightly order known as the Battlelords. Holy anvils dedicated to Ebonarm can be found throughout the Iliac Bay region. Dunmer often swear upon the "soul of the Black Knight".[4]
- Ebonarm has not been mentioned in any game since Daggerfall, and all references to him in The Elder Scrolls Online were removed from the book From The Memory Stone of Makela Leki.

Help Health Koncious make plant based diets an option for all incomes!
We are in need for 15,000 to support the startup funds for Health Koncious to publish "TheMillenials Guide to Plant-Based Diets", as well as manufacture her many specialty items: protein powders, dairy free cheese sauce, and seitan (faux chicken). We are currently in need of a commercialized kitchen with plaenty of walkin space to hold all of our meal prep orders. As well as kitchen equipment. This will not fundme andmy dreamsthis will also create jobs for non violent ex fellons and tennagers interested in the culinary arts field.
About Me/ Health Koncious
The idea for Health Koncious was birthed through a series of life events beginning with the tragic unexpected death of Chef Nicole Asali's closest friend at the ripe age of 26. "Having a loved one taken by an auto immune disease that has been proven to be controlled through a plant based diet is one of the most awakening things that can happen to you. I didn't know then what our food does to us bu…t now I'm empowered by the possibilities of saving another's life simply by informing them. I know Health Koncious can make it happen." – says Nicole Asali
Once Nicole Asali became knowledgeable of how food can heal she soon collided into multiple hurdles of reading and understanding labels, knowing where to shop, knowing what to eat, understanding how to prepare the food, affording organic products, staying committed without support from friends and family, enjoying the food she ate, missing comfort foods, and eating family meals on the Holidays. These all became real problems that didn't have any functional resolutions. "Living a healthy plant based lifestyle became exhausting and felt impossible"
She knew she was fully committed but completely understood why someone wouldn't, but with all the benefits of a plant based diet it would be insane to give it up. So she decided to create something that could help regular people transition into a plant based lifestyle. " Its not about being perfect or eating how I tell you too. Its about giving people the option to become consciously aware of what they eat and to make it feel like a possibility. "
