The central bank, which kept its rate at 1.25 per cent Wednesday, said slower first-quarter growth of about 1.3 per cent was largely a result of housing markets' responses to stricter mortgage rules and sluggish exports. The bank had predicted the economy to expand by 2.5 per cent in the first three months of the year. It's expecting the economy to rebound in the second quarter with 2.5 per cent growth
Canada's economic growth has moderated, and the economy is operating close to capacity,'' While a moderation was anticipated, temporary factors ... are resulting in sizable short-term fluctuations in growth.
The bank reiterated it expects further interest-rate hikes to be necessary over time and that it will follow a cautious, data-dependent approach when weighing future decisions.

Khloe Kardashian took a page out of Kim's look book on Thursday (Nov. 14) when she sported a pair of leather pants and a very sheer top during a visit to the BBC Radio One studio in London.
The 29-year-old reality star turned heads when she made her way into the BBC venue wearing leather trousers, a sheer black top and a feathered jacket. Her daring top revealed her belly button and a hint of cleavage as she posed for photos after the interview.
Kardashian has been promoting her and her sisters' new clothing line, Kardashian Kollection with Lipsy, across the pond this week. Aside from talking about their role as designers, she opened up about life on television.
"I think everyone needs some me time," she told E! News. "But with our show, we've been filming with the same camera crew for so long that they're like family. And it's weird because they are also like a comfort zone for me, the people."
"Sometimes you're like, 'I just don't want to be bothered by anyone,' not even a girlfriend," she added. "Sometimes you really just want to lock yourself in a room and have your personal space."

This update is brought to you by The Foursquare Church.
Who it's for
All Foursquare pastors and church leaders

How to get it
The Foursquare Church is rich with stories. Our churches exist in diverse areas of the United States, but we are not disconnected.
The victories won, challenges faced and insights gained are shared in our family, from the rural heart to the urban core and back again. But how are we to hear these stories? In a noisy and over-saturated age of media, it can be hard to connect.
Every year, The Foursquare Church publishes three editions of Foursquare Leader magazine, and packs each one with articles, news and testimonies written to encourage, equip and connect you with your Foursquare family.
Foursquare Leader contains English and Spanish language sections. It's a great way to share the local, national and global perspective as we follow the call of Jesus. And best of all, it's a free resource to everyone via digital magazine or PDF download.
Our three annual editions are published in February, May and October. If you're a Foursquare credentialed minister, you'll get every print edition in your mailbox at no cost, or you can check back to digitally view them here when they release.
October 2017: Grow Up
Why is leadership development such a critical thing to get right? And how can we and our churches not only grow, but also remain healthy? These are the kinds of questions we tackle in the October 2017 issue of Foursquare Leader magazine.
Don't miss the opening statement from General Supervisor Tammy Dunahoo explaining why leadership development is Foursquare's first Missional Objective. And be sure to read about getting back on track with God's vision for your life in Gateway District Supervisor Sam Rockwell's article.
You'll find inspirational stories of ministers who left the shadows of secret addiction to seek help in the light, along with articles and features that will help you see the hidden treasures in your own congregation. Download the magazine below, and see how you and your ministry can continue to grow up.

Don't miss the interesting look at how Foursquare's legacy continues to unfold. See how many Holy Spirit and water baptisms we had last year, why it matters that we are multiethnic, and who makes up our diverse group of credentialed ministers.

February 2017: The Global Issue
Why are we more effective globally? That's the question we consider in the first 2017 issue of Foursquare Leader.
As ministers of the gospel in an increasingly globalized society, it is imperative that we understand the myriad ways that God is working through the Foursquare family to reach the nations.
Whether you want to grasp the foundational ideas of the Four-Stage Model, hear inspiring stories of missionary work overseas or connect with the hearts of Foursquare executive leaders, you'll find it all and more in the February 2017 issue.

The idea that the conflict with Kruun's infiltrating Breakworlders was always greater than the X-Men is brought home in this final issue of the arc. Having been utterly defeated by forces greater than them, they must look outside of themselves for salvation, and the manner in which that salvation is delivered brings about touching changes in multiple characters.
Gillen reveals that this arc was not about the X-Men facing defeat but the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. Whereas Kruun represents the merciless, crushing realities of life, Haleena represents the human spirit. Gillen deftly illustrates this as Haleena and Kitty exchange life for humanity, leading to a scene with a dynamic reminiscent of Luke and Anakin in which the redemption of an individual leads to the redemption of a loved one. Gillen goes further to say that the obtainment of human spirit also confers power over reality in that one can decide how they will allow the realities of life to impact them. This serves as a sobering and encouraging notion in light of the millions of individuals suffering persecution for their religious beliefs, race, nationality, or sexual preference.
Terry Dodson controls the pace of the story well with stunning illustrations of hope, triumph, tragedy, and sacrifice. These scenes could easily have been dashed off with cliche imagery, but it's apparent that Dodson takes the time to arrange the composition with arresting results. Dodson's characteristic clean style is appropriate for the idealistic messages conveyed by Gillen's script, and the uncluttered frames keep the action sequences sleek and far from distracting.
Gillen brings his disparate narrative and thematic elements elegantly in together in issue #538. The bottom line to this arc is both profound and thoroughly in line with the symbol of the collective X-Men, and it should not be missed.

A few months ago, I wrote an article about a few TV show characters who were almost superheroes, but not quite. These were characters who had special abilities and saved people, and maybe even had secret identities, but just missed the mark on being a full-fledged superhero.
Of course, with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. coming up later this month, we'll have to redefine everything we once knew about what makes a superhero show a superhero show. Or will S.H.I.E.L.D. even count as a superhero show? There will be superheroes in it, but the main characters aren't superheroes and oh no I've gone cross-eyed.
For now, the one other important thing that these shows have in common is they are all available on Netflix (in America, at least), so you can get your almost-superhero fill for the next few weeks until the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiere.
With all that in mind, here are a few more characters who are just a cape away from being superheroes…
5. Sam & Dean Winchester, Supernatural
Sam and Dean are certainly supernatural heroes, but superheroes? Yeah, kinda.
The boys have both had superpowers at one point or another, and their knowledge and fighting skills certainly counts as a special ability. No case is too big or small for the Winchesters, as long as there are ghosts or monsters or whiskey involved. And as for secret identities, they change those every week.
No capes, sure, but the Impala is basically the Batmobile, if Batman blasted Kansas from his stereo.
4. Bo, Lost Girl
Now, here we have a character that's got the whole package. Superpowers, sex-appeal, kick-ass moves, a kick-ass ass, tight clothes, boobs… what was I saying?
Bo's got superpowers and certainly doesn't shy away from some freelance heroing. In addition to her seduction powers and the whole chi superstrength deal, Bo's ability to move among both the Light and Dark Fae makes her unique even among the other superpowered peeps in her world.
Basically, Bo's one skintight outfight away from being a full-on superheroine. We can only imagine what that would look like…

It is a terrible idea because it is a terrible idea for any modern city to host the Olympics. The price tag alone should cause the mayor of any city to run screaming from the idea. According to the Guardian the London Olympics cost more than 11 billion British pounds (roughly $17 billion Canadian). Toronto's entire operating budged for 2012 was $9.4 billion and even with Buffalo's participation, the cost is too high and the conventional wisdom that the games pay for themselves is debatable at best.
It is a terrible idea for Toronto in particular for a variety of reasons. Toronto, generally, is difficult to navigate, crowded and has no room to expand roads and thoroughfares. The G20 though should serve as an example of why the Olympics in Toronto is a bad idea. The G20, after all, was a very small event compared to the Olympics. The Olympics, the costs associated with them and the negative impacts on the host city's poor always bring out protesters and the people of Toronto like to protest. The protests would obviously be countered by notoriously heavy handed Olympic security.
If nothing else came out of the G20, we learned that the Toronto Police, along with their counterparts in the Ontario Provincial Police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are completely unprepared to handle large international events. At least they were unprepared to do so in a way that respects public safety and civil rights. If security for the Olympics is extra heavy handed and tries to do things like enforce the rights of Olympic sponsors, Toronto could look more like a war zone than an Olympic host city before the games are over.
If anyone on the International Olympic Committee is reading this, please don't even bother to read Toronto's application.
I did say though that the idea of a "binational Olympics" was both a wonderful and a terrible idea.
Although not much of a sports fan, or of the games as they stand, I have great respect for the Olympians themselves. The Olympic Games, ideally, are supposed to be about the world coming together, to promote peace and understanding. They are supposed to be about young people, who have trained their entire lives, pitting their skills against the best athletes in the world. All of that though is being lost behind a cloud of multi-billion dollar budgets, draconian sponsorship rules, inadequate media coverage and police state security.
It seems to me that the best way to put the focus back where it belongs is to break up the Olympics. This isn't ancient Greece. We have airplanes and telecommunications now. Break up the location of the games themselves, break up the sponsorship deals and break up the media coverage.
Allow cities to bid on specific events that they already have facilities for. Allow sponsors and media companies to bid on specific events as well. This would reduce the cost, the impact on the cities themselves and the need for the military to be involved in security.
With events in different locations, everyone in the world should be able to see at least some events live in a time zone that matches their own. With different media companies covering different events, nearly everything should be available to the people who want to watch and with companies sponsoring specific events rather than the Olympics as a whole, sponsors would take a back seat to the athletes again.
All of this would reduce the income of the Olympics but it would also dramatically lower the costs. It would make the Olympics a truly international event rather than a local one being watched by the world. The Olympics Games would take place all over the world, simultaneously. The focus would be on dozens of international cities rather than one and the games would once again be about the world coming together and about athletes pushing themselves to be the best in the world.
Maybe one day Toronto, along with Buffalo can host Olympic hockey or speed skating. Maybe Toronto can host Olympic baseball or basketball, while Las Vegas hosts boxing, Athens hosts track and field, and Moscow hosts swimming. The key, I think, is to stop trying to make modern cities fit the Olympics and make the Olympics fit the modern world.

For a clear sign of how far LED pricing has come in the past year or so, look no further than Ikea, the Swedish retail giant. Wander into the lighting section of one of the company's megastores, and you'll find bargain-priced LEDs bearing the "Ledare" name, with 60W replacements that retail for less than $5 each.
That "60W replacement" distinction is a bit of a stretch, given that the bulbs put out just 600 lumens each (you want at least 800 to match a 60W incandescent). They also aren't nearly as efficient as the competition, and they don't come with any warranty whatsoever. Still, it's hard to complain when you're spending only $5. Plus, as a bonus, these bulbs have surprisingly outstanding color-rendering capabilities.
The Good Ikea's Ledare LEDs offer an appealing design and excellent color-rendering capabilities at a very attractive $5 price point.
The Bad The Ledare LEDs aren't as bright or efficient as their competitors, and they don't come with a warranty.
The Bottom Line There's enough quality with these low cost bulbs to keep them from feeling cheap, which makes them an excellent value option.
Part Number: Ikea Ledare LED
At less than $5 per bulb, the Ikea Ledare LEDs represent a very solid value option in the ever-evolving lighting landscape. I'm not a fan of the diminished light output or the lack of a warranty, but given that the bulbs cost less then half of what you'll spend for a quality competitor like the Cree 60W Replacement LED, it's hard to take Ikea to task. Factor in the focus on color rendering, and you've got a low-cost lighting option that doesn't quite feel cheap. If that's not Ikea's MO, I don't know what is.

Triple Aim: Improving the patient healthcare and experienceNovember 11, 2013
For patients in a participating ACO, one of the initial improvements for facilities will be the assignment of a care manager to guide and support them through the ACO experience. The care manager may be a Triple Aim committed primary care physician or ACO professional who takes responsibility for coordinating care plans. A key component of the ACO / Triple Aim experience is the demonstration of improved outcomes for each patient and the ACO population as a whole.
Improving health with triple aimOctober 16, 2013
Physicians and treatment centers receive little for disease prevention and much for heroic efforts to treat problems that are often preventable or at least have lower costs and better outcomes when seen and managed earlier in their development.

We Don't Shoot Birds- It's a Misdemeanor crime to discharge a firearm in (or near) the City Limits.
There are a myriad of resources at our fingertips.For the Birds: We utilize a HIGH QUALITY "sturdy" galvanized hard wire metal mesh.
This material resist rust and flex and is perfect for deterring birds from being able to construct their nest. If you have anything else, it should be removed and replaced. Birds can often get trapped in flimsy plastic wire, window screen, or chicken wire and suffer a painful death. The dead bird is now an insect magnet / maggots, lice, mites, and other micro organisms are now being attracted to your home. Or, they can bypass the effectiveness of the material and nest behind which is common.
The wire we use is also affixed by screws and not staples or guide wires as you might have seen our competitors use because it's cheaper. Screws are more expensive but extend the performance of the barriers and we sponge up the cost. Additionally, "invisa-barriers" are painted in areas where they may be viewed from the street and backyard to further camouflage their existence.
This is QUALITY work that is built for the job, and to last.
In some instances, aluminum louvered attic vent screens are applied over the stock manufactured holes up high in the eaves. These holes have a flimsy window-screen type material that the birds not only peck through but use the screen material for nesting purposes inside the attic adding insult to injury.
The attic vent covers SpeedPro installs are durable with a fine screen mesh behind to prevent bees from entering and birds from pecking through. These can be painted, or come in various pre painted colors and add a fresh, finished appearance.
Bird Spikes are seldom used but are sometimes necessary in certain areas.
We never apply Spikes to Chimneys ! Made from a durable heavy clear plastic material (non piercing) and are affixed with screws and/or a very strong adhesive. These are used in places that are not so visible or where hard wire cannot be applied. Improper spike applications can result in birds nesting inside them. Yes- inside them!
Below is only one of the many times we have removed spikes with bird nests interlaced in them. The owner of this house (and of the many others) said it was a reputable pest control company that applied them. These types of Pest Control applications are only done for ease and speed of getting the job done, just not done right. SpeedPro experts will tell you this is not the preferred method and the best way is to use our exclusive "invisa-barrier".
BEFORE with SPIKES AFTER with "Invisa-Barrier" hard wire
Only SpeedPro Barriers offers the "Invisa-Barrier" that was designed by us. It takes longer to apply, but the results are an effective, hardly noticeable barrier that will last. Our competitors will not use this type of method because they don't know about it and if they did, they would not consider it because of the time and effort it takes to do the job. You could say, they want the "quick bucks" and not take into consideration the customer or their long term needs.
For Commercial Buildings: And used on residential, a bird repellant (caulking type) tacky gel to discourage birds from roosting on building tops and peaks. This can only be acquired thought licensed professionals such as SpeedPro Barriers.
Depending on the location, we may use a bird sonic device that emits a high pitch frequency that irritates the birds or makes it unnerving for bats to fly near.
Additionally, "Electra-Trac" devices can be used that emit a weak electrical signal from a wire to discourages the birds from resting where the tracks are applied (typically on the outside edges of the roof where birds rest).
Spiders are most frequently used and economical!
Bats and Swallows are mainly seasonal birds and work can only be performed when they are not active in reproducing or nesting sites established per state law. Once a nest is established and/or carry young birds (pups) - no service will be completed. Once the birds take flight - repelling devices are added to their existing nesting spots. This could include bird spikes, plexy-glass, hard wire mesh.
For Bats, one-way flap or tube devices are designed so that the bats may leave but not re-enter.
All of our prevention measures are custom built to fit your home. No two houses are alike and no two corners on the same house seem to be alike either. Therefore, a technician will dedicate what ever time is necessary to get the job done right- the first time without adding additional charges to you. Each job is charged by the job, and not by the hour, to assure perfection in each appliance assembled and designed.
Bees: This includes Wasp- Yellow Jackets - Honey Bees - Hornets - Ground Hornets -Mud Daubers (the list goes on)! These nest (Hives) are manually removed by experts with full bee protective gear. If possible we try to keep the bees alive but remove their nest so they can continue assisting nature (plants and vegetables).
If their presence is threatening to the customer (example - allergic to bee stings, have small children, or in a high traffic area...) then once the bees are removed, a repellant spray is added that helps to resist the bees from wanting to rebuild.
Our technicians are also seasoned rock repellers and are agile while on your roof using ladders and safety harnesses when necessary. Safety is our priority and every precaution is made to provide a safe working environment for everyone (your family included).
Most of our work is done on Tile roof lines (scalloped and level) and we are experienced in walking on these types of roofs without damaging them. Additionally, we will check your roofs condition and gutters and report to you any areas of concern.
You can't get better service anywhere!
Reliable 2500 PSI & 2650 PSI pressure washer - washes and cleans dirt and debris from just about any surface without damaging it. Some of our applications included: Aluminum Home Siding, Vinyl Siding, Wood and Stucco Sidings. Sidewalks (black mold, moss, algae removal), Garage Doors, Under Roof Eaves, Bricks, Rock Walls, & Wood Decks. Flagstone and River Rock walkways and retaining walls. Removes unsightly Spider Webs, brightens Fences, Walkways, Painted Crosswalks ECT. You name it, we've probably cleaned it.
Restores and brightens appearances, increases investments. See web album.

In the previous article, we discussed different types of kayaks for your kayaking pleasure to give you the basics of, well obviously, the different types of kayaks that exist in the marketplace.
Today, we would like to present you with three kayaks that you can buy, today, with your budget in mind. However, if you want to save a few hundred dollars, you need to have an open mind. To spend less than $300 for a trustworthy kayak that performs (heck, even less than a $100!), you need to open your mind to the option of inflatable kayaks.
Inflatable kayaks are exactly what they sound like: inflatable. However, most people fear that these may not be built as sturdy as their hard-shelled counterparts. What most people fail to realize is: this logic fails! It's like comparing apples to oranges. Inflatable kayaks come tested and can perform well in certain conditions. One can only understand it after sifting through a few inflatable kayak reviews.
The following are three entry level, budget inflatable kayaks that will keep you in the water for endless fun (though one hard-shelled one has been included for a decent option!)
List Of Three Affordable Kayaks…
1. Advanced Elements FireFly Inflatable Kayak
While not the cheapest option, it's a middle of the road option for anyone with a budget. Yes, it is a single person inflatable kayak but Advanced Elements has been in the game for a long, long time and is known to present quality kayaks. This is a perfect recreational kayak that can hold up to 250 pounds. It also comes with a skeg for good tracking and navigation. The firefly comes in a fun yellow & grey colors.
2. Intex Challenger K2 Kayak
The cheapest option of the three here, this makes for an excellent tandem kayak for a great price. In case aesthetics matter, the Intex Challenger tandem kayak has a sexy, fun, sporty look and is made of rugged vinyl for puncture resistance. Add to that plenty of room and a sweet cockpit, you can't lose with this entry level, tandem kayak. Of course, you can use it alone if you don't have another person to bring along.
3. Sun Dolphin Bali 6-Foot Sit-on-top Kayak
Extremely affordable and a great, affordable kayak option. This is a hard shell kayak that should please any beginner or frugal shopper for years. It comes in the color red, is six feet in length, and allows for an easy design so you can sit in it easily. It supports about 140 pounds and only fits one person.
What's The Best Option?
This all depends on skill level you are (novice, intermediate, or advanced), what kind of kayak you are comfortable with (inflatable or hard shell), the purpose of your kayaking (recreational, whitewater, tricks), and your budget. Stay on the look out for more informative articles that can help steer you in the right direction. We will also be reviewing some specific, well-known models.

Intimates (Butterick B5932 + Cloth Habit Rosy Ladyshorts)
On its surface sewing underthings seems frivolous.

Following is the opening speech by the Director-General of Trade and Industry, Ms Maria Kwan, at the Hong Kong International Toys Festival 2010 Joint Networking Reception today (January 12):
Mr Wong, Bernie, David, Benjamin, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
Good evening. It is my pleasure to join you at this reception which marks the opening of the third Hong Kong International Toys Festival. Let me start by wishing you all a Happy New Year.
To all the guests from overseas, may I also wish you a very fruitful and enjoyable stay in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is proud of its reputation as the "World's Toy Centre". Including re-exports, Hong Kong is now the world's second largest toy exporter. More importantly, our toy makers are firmly committed to the highest levels of product quality and safety. Their toy products are renowned also for creativity and affordability.
Over the years, the majority of Hong Kong toy makers have set up production facilities offshore, mainly in Mainland China. Their Hong Kong office continues with quality control, marketing, finance and accounting, and product design. Notably, toy makers in Hong Kong have remained at the steering wheel, carefully charting the course on how to meet changing challenges, and to make the most of the opportunities that may come their way.
In the past few years, the toy industry has faced unprecedented challenges. Safety standards and regulations in the major export markets were tightened, and the global financial crisis broke out in late 2008. Fortunately, good sailors prove their worth in strong winds. I am pleased to note that the Hong Kong toy industry has started to ride out the storm.
Looking ahead, there are ample opportunities for our industrialists and entrepreneurs, particularly in Mainland China. About a year ago, the Central People's Government unveiled its plan to establish the Pearl River Delta as one of the most competitive regions in the world by 2020. This framework supports greater co-operation among Hong Kong, Macao and Guangdong to maximise their combined strengths and complement each other in developing a premier business hub.
To grasp these opportunities, industry players need to innovate and upgrade continuously. The Hong Kong Government is sparing no effort in creating an environment that is conducive to business development. For example, the Trade and Industry Department has in place various funding schemes to facilitate companies, particularly SMEs, in obtaining commercial loans, expanding business through export promotion activities, and enhancing their overall competitiveness. The Government has also launched other support measures to promote design and creativity in Hong Kong industries, including the toy industry.
The Hong Kong International Toys Festival is held in conjunction with the Hong Kong Toys and Games Fair. I would like to commend the excellent efforts of the Hong Kong Toys Council, the Toys Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council in bringing these important events to fruition. I wish the events every success. Thank you.

It's Chocolate Milkshake Day! I took the Chocolate Milkshake Quiz over @ Yum Sugar and guess what, I passed with flying colors. Look see...
The Sweet History of the Milkshake is thankfully documented throughout the internet. Here it is from wikipedia: (have you noticed wiki has become more reliable lately?)
When the term "milkshake" was first used in print in 1885, milkshakes were an alcoholic whiskey drink that has been described as a "sturdy, healthful eggnog type of drink, with eggs, whiskey, etc., served as a tonic as well as a treat". However, by 1900, the term referred to "wholesome drinks made with chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla syrups." By the "early 1900s people were asking for the new treat, often with ice cream." By the 1930s, milkshakes were a popular drink at malt shops, which were the "typical soda fountain of the period.
The history of the electric blender, malted milk drinks and milkshakes are interconnected. Before the widespread availability of electric blenders, milkshake-type drinks were more like eggnog, or they were a hand-shaken mixture of crushed ice and milk, sugar, and flavorings. Hamilton Beach's drink mixers began being used at soda fountains in 1911 and the electric blender or drink mixer was invented by Steven Poplawski in 1922. With the invention of the blender, milkshakes began to take their modern, whipped, aerated, and frothy form. Malted milk drinks are made with malted milk powder, which contains dried milk, malted barley and wheat flour. Malted milk powder was invented in 1897 by William Horlick as an easily digested restorative health drink for invalids and children, and as an infant's food.
The use of malted milk powder in milkshakes was popularized in the USA by the Chicago drugstore chain Walgreens. (original recipe) In 1922, Walgreens' employee Ivar "Pop" Coulson made a milkshake by adding two scoops of vanilla ice cream to the standard malted milk drink recipe (milk, chocolate syrup and malt powder). This item, under the name "Horlick's Malted Milk," was featured by the Walgreen drugstore chain as part of a chocolate milk shake, which itself became known as a "malted" or "malt" and became one of the most popular soda-fountain drinks.
The Secrets to Making the Perfect ShakePaul Dickson in The Great American Ice Cream Book has this to say about the perfect milkshake.
While I was browsing my cookbooks for Malted Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies, to share, I found this recipe for Chocolate Malt Delights in Easy Entertaining published by Favorite Brand Name Recipes. I just had to include it. It's sooooo easy...
If you prefer velevety, thick milk shakes and malts, never pummel your mixture with an egg beater or electric mixer with large baldes. These drinks are aerated blends and for that reason come out thick and subtle when made with a blender set to a low speed or with an electric mixer laboring on with a very small blade...As simple as it sounds, one of the prime secrets of the great soda jerks of yore was the parlay of very cold milk. (as close to 32° as possible without freezing), chilledsyrups and toppings (below 50° at least), cold soda (34-38°) and ever so slightly soft ice cream. If, for example, the milk is not very cold, you will not get the "fluff" that makes shakes and malts so pleasing. Needless to say, hot syrup must be kept warm but not too hot. Really hot fudge soon separated and crystalizes...
More Daily Celebrations This Week
September 12thThe Chinese Harvest Moon Festival is celebrated on September 12th this year. (thanks Lena:) The festival is intricately linked to the legends of Chang E, the mythical Moon Goddess of Immortality. Moon Cakes are traditionally exchanged during the Moon Cake Festival. Here are a few moon cake recipes from some of my favorite visitors.
1. Handmade Piggy Mooncakes
2. Dragonfruit Flaky Mooncake
3. Sun Dried Tomato Mooncake Biscuits
Aren't they simply adorably amazing! Great job you "guys." Here's one you might enjoy. It's a recipe for Cendol Jelly Moon Cakes!
...all the charming and beautiful things, from the Song of Songs, to bouillabaisse, and from the nine Beethoven symphonies to the Martini cocktail, have been given to humanity by men who, when the hour came, turned from tap water to something with color in it, and more in it than mere oxygen and hydrogen."~H.L. Mencken~
Happy Birth Date to "H.L. Mencken! Although he wrote many words in his lifetime, H. L. Mencken is most famously remembered for his American Language Study Guide (@ enotes) Here's a taste of his Etymology of Hot-Dog.
H. L. Mencken was as famous in America as George Bernard Shaw was in England, but it was not only through his work as a journalist. He continues to be recognized throughout the world as an influential critic of literature who helped launch the Southern and Harlem literary renaissances. In The Smart Set, the literary journal he edited with George Jean Nathan from 1914-1923, Mencken helped pave the way for many writers we know and study today: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Eugene O'Neill, Sinclair Lewis, Theodore Dreiser, and James Joyce. In 1924, Mencken began a new journal, called The American Mercury. Aimed at the "civilized minority," the magazines blended politics, the arts, and sciences. It was the first magazine edited by whites to publish the work of African American authors, such as James Weldon Johnson and Langston Hughes. Mencken was praised by writers for his prompt and courteous handling of their manuscripts, and by other editors for his quality monthly. The American Mercury influenced other magazines that followed it, including The New Yorker. So great was Mencken's renown that college students flaunted The American Mercury as a sign of intellectual independence, waving it before their teachers. (source)
September 13thIt's Snack a Pickle Time!
Did you ever watch the movie, Matilda? What about Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Matilda is one of my favorites; right up there with Nanny McPhee:) Well, guess what, they were both authored by Roald Dahl whose birthday is celebrated today. And guess what else, there's a cookbook titled Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes which Janet has shared a recipe from over at Dying for Chocolate. Enjoy:)
It's National monkey nuts, groundnuts, ground peas, goobers, pindas, pinders or just plain ol' Peanut Day!
I'm sure International Chocolate Day has to do with the fact that Milton Hershey was born today in 1857. What do you think? What the heck. Let's celebrate with a slice of Innkeeper Pie!
Happy Birthday Uncle Sam! Yes, there was an Uncle Sam. His real name was Samuel Wilson and September 13th is the day he was born! You know what, we'll be celebrating Ice Cream Cone Day on September 22, why not whip up these Uncle Sam Ice Cream Cones and celebrate!
I'll be back on Wednesday with more tasty goodies. In the mean time, get ready for Cream Filled Doughnut Day, September 14th!!!

Reckless or reliable? The people who work with danger
"A typical day would start with meeting the bodyguards, getting into the armoured car, and zooming off to one of the ministries. A place with so much violence - but with such hospitable people - is intriguing."
Not the sort of working environment you would associate with a chartered accountant, but Adam Bates specialises in forensic accounting for KPMG, and was on the trail of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's missing oil-for-food millions in Baghdad.Reckless or reliable? The people who work with danger
Adam says: "You sit in the armoured car in your pinstriped suit with your briefcase on your knee with the bodyguards around you - a big grin on your face."
Accountancy would not be the profession that sprang to mind if you were asked to name a dangerous job.
How about Jesse James's profession: "I spent 16 years as a bomb disposal expert in the army before joining MAG (Mines Advisory Group) International in 2004 in mine clearance. Since then I've worked on the Iraq programme, as well as in Lebanon and South Sudan."
Another might be close protection work, of the kind that kept Adam Bates safe. Formerly a soldier with the Parachute Regiment and SAS, Stuart Gilks did this in Baghdad and Afghanistan in 2004 to 2006.
"Baghdad was without a doubt the most dangerous area you could end up working in, particularly the route between the airport and the [safer] Green Zone. Every day you would see debris along the road - and some of our colleagues were caught up in that."
But as Adam Bates exemplifies, even the most sedate-sounding jobs can get tricky if being carried out in a certain country, and that does not have to be a war zone.
International SOS employs about 10,000 people in 70 countries, helping organisations manage the medical and security risks faced by their employees.
Arnaud Vaissie, its co-founder and head, says there is a surprisingly long list of dangerous countries: "Our clients listed 89 - almost half of the 195 or so countries - that they thought could be dangerous."
Road kill
At face value, he says, some hardly appear to be so: "Take the Maldives - a wonderful country but from a health point you need to plan for it.
"There are also the countries that are reasonably well organised, but where the transportation accident ratio is a multiple of 10 of the accident rate you have in the UK."
Richard Fenning, the chief executive of Control Risks, a global risk consultancy that helps organisations that work in complex and hostile environments, agrees that transport is the major threat: "The reality is - even in the most dangerous countries in the world - the biggest danger comes to you from a road traffic accident.
"Even if you are visiting countries with high-profile security risks, such as Afghanistan or Iraq, this should still be a significant focus."
There can be heavy financial costs when things go wrong.
In 2008, the US Department of Labor reported the cost of accidents in the US to be $1bn (£0.64bn) a week in both direct and indirect costs.
More recently, BP, with its billions set aside to cover the Mexico gulf installation explosion, is an outstanding example of this.
Evaluating the cost of accidents is one thing - trying to stop them happening is another matter.
International SOS provides an online system that can be accessed via PC or a mobile phone called Travel Tracker which enables employers to keep track of their employees.
Arnaud Vaissie says this gives them a very detailed picture: "You can triage your employees in all situations live and you can then identify which employee needs help.
"We have analysts 24 hours a day looking at health and security risks around the world. They would identify, for example, whether there was a terrorist threat in Jakarta. We would then see who was at risk from that and we would push information at them."
Person at risk
SHL is a talent measurement company that helps companies to recruit and develop talent to support their organisational objectives. One of its areas of expertise is to help organisations find the right sort of people to employ in high-risk jobs and environments by providing scientific assessments of people in the workplace.
One of the greatest risks is not necessarily the job - or even the environment in which people have to work - but the person doing it.
Its chief science officer, Eugene Burke, says 60-80% of workplace accidents are attributed by various industry surveys to operator error: "We've been looking at this since 2004. There is quite a lot of research into types of people associated with accidents."
He says those less likely to be a risk to themselves or others have certain qualities: "Attention to detail, the ability to think forward and follow the procedures, and be aware of the impact of what they do.
"The right sort of person will keep others informed. They will also show more responsibility - if they see something wrong they will be more likely to point it out."
The oil company Shell says safety is its top priority - an attitude that is imbued in Peter Reilly. As a former offshore installation manager for Shell in the North Sea, he says everyone working on an oil platform operates according to a set of rules.
In his view this means people are less at risk than those working on solid ground: "A pipefitter working onshore may be less safe than one working with us offshore because we are all trained to be aware of each other.
"We also get feedback from new people coming off the rig who may have seen things that we have got used to."
Stuart Gilks now works as lead trainer for security giant G4S, whose 600,000-plus employees make it one of the world's largest private employers.
Its activities include training people for work in hostile environments.
His own experience as a close protection officer has not only helped him professionally, but even helped on holiday in Tanzania: "I was looking for somewhere to eat in Dar es Salaam and became aware that four people were following me.
"It was quite obvious to me - although maybe not to others - that they were planning to rob me, and I had a couple of thousand dollars. There was no safe area to move to, so I walked back to them. It was the only route I knew.
"I looked them in the face and they were so shocked at my reaction it switched the initiative in my favour and I was able to move away safely."
Eugene Burke says the sort of person who is more likely to have an accident is also more likely to be on the receiving end of something dangerous.
"Look at security guards - for one company we found that the odds against an accident were are 19-1. But those who lacked the right approach were six times more likely to have an accident. They were also six times more likely to be involved in some form of attack.
"Why? Well criminals target the less diligent crews and the more accident-prone members are also more likely to be involved in an accident too."
Control Risks' Richard Fenning says it is important to maintain a sense of vulnerability: "You get people who start to collect dangerous locations and who become addicted to the risk and become gung-ho.
"You need people who are not trying to win any medals or make a hero out of themselves and it is incumbent on companies to get this right."
Why would someone who met the careful and observant personality type that most companies see as the safest for undertaking a dangerous job, enter in to such a risky environment?
Matthew Harding, G4S's managing director of risk consulting says some people simply find the stable working environment dull: "People get very keen on the atmosphere of such jobs - if you look at those who work in these environments they tend to work in them for many many years.
"I have a lot of ex-soldiers who are doing very challenging jobs in difficult circumstances."
Forensic accountant Adam Bates still goes out on short-term foraging jobs in dangerous places: "It is a stereotype to say that everyone who joins a firm of chartered accountants is boring and grey and doesn't look for excitement in life.
"You could definitely get addicted to working in a dangerous environment."
Saying goodbye
Most people engaged in dangerous occupations have very cool heads.
Jesse James says mine clearance "is pretty mundane and complacency is a worry. It is the same job month after month."
Peter Reilly says the most difficult part of his job is not flying over the North Sea in a helicopter to a piece of iron on legs for work, it is being away from home: "One of the first people I worked with was a Royal Navy officer. We though he would be OK as he had been used to being at sea for five months at a time.
"In fact he lasted only a few months and then looked for an office job - he simply found it too hard to have to say goodbye to his family every other week."
MAG's Jesse James picked an incident involving an unlikely detonator when asked to single out his most scary experience mine clearing: "I was working with a colleague who uncovered what looked like a mine. He came back down the clearance path for me to take a look.
"But before I could, a herd of cattle came out of the bush and walked right over the mine that I was walking towards. Luckily none of them stood on it."
G4S's Stuart Gilks is now living in Herefordshire as the company's director of training, teaching others about keeping safe where he "now cycles to work, rather than bumping along in an armoured vehicle".
He says there are not many adrenaline-chasers in his line of work: "It's not about thrill-seeking. I don't know anyone that does what we do seriously for thrills or kicks. You might get some at the low end of the industry that like hiking around with guns and bullets but I'd be very cautious of anyone with that attitude."
He says: "Some people say you need to be of unsound mind to do this job. I would say it is completely the opposite - a job for the mature, thoughtful type."

Workplace accommodations are a win-win for employers and employees alike. Accommodating employees who are experiencing disabling illnesses or injuries can help them work more comfortably, boost productivity and minimize missed work days due to medical-related leaves.
Accommodations also can serve as tangible evidence of an organization's commitment to its employees' well-being and desire to retain valuable talent. Indeed, 83% of the employers who call the Job Accommodation Network for help with accommodations are doing so to retain a current employee.
Yet despite these advantages, providing workplace accommodations may sometimes be challenging for employers and their overloaded HR teams. Here are four ways for advisers to coach their clients on how they can accommodate their employees more effectively:
Quote"By employing these four best practices, advisers can help their clients work smarter—not harder—to make reasonable accommodations a reality in their workplaces."
- Work through a disability carrier. A client's current accommodation process may include getting bounced around by the legal department and muddling through industry association websites. Instead, advise the client to go directly to its disability carrier, which has case managers that will research, acquire and deploy equipment, and also follow up with employees to ensure that the accommodations are working.
- Connect the dots between insurance, wellness and employee assistance programs. Sound solutions often require pooling the knowledge and services offered by the providers of various employer-sponsored benefit programs, including workers' comp, employee assistance and wellness programs. While working with multiple providers may seem time-consuming, it doesn't have to be. A client's disability carrier can serve as the liaison and lead the collaboration among all parties, while keeping the client in the loop but out of the middle of the process.
- Rethink the costs. A 2014 survey of 300 HR managers conducted by The Standard found that they put the cost of an accommodation at around $1,000. In reality, there are many low-cost or no-cost options that can be easily implemented. Approaches such as job restructuring, schedule modification and even assistive technology and equipment are often fairly inexpensive, but incredibly helpful ways to help employees manage their medical conditions while at work.
- Have experts do the heavy lifting. By working through experts from the client's disability carrier, the client ensures that their assessments will include the right questions to determine what is best for their employees and that the best possible accommodations are put forward.
By employing these four best practices, advisers can help their clients work smarter—not harder—to make reasonable accommodations a reality in their workplaces.

Things To Do in SummerstrandRoseate Tern Hiking Trail
Where? Start and finish at the Cape Recife Nature Reserve entrance gate, just off Marine Drive, Summerstrand, Port Elizabeth
When? Daylight hours.
How? Call +27 (0)41 583-1830
How much? Falls into price group R1 to R100 per person. Confirm with the provider.
Overnight? Stay at accommodation in Summerstrand, in Eastern Cape
Start: Cape Recife Nature Reserve entrance gate, just off Marine Drive in Summerstrand
Finish: where you started (it�s a circular walk)
Duration: 9 km, no longer than 5 hours
Fitness: this is not a challenging hike, but you do need to be able to go the full 9 km
Our tip: this hike works best if you time it so that you arrive at the lighthouse when it is low tide, giving you access to the little rock pools (great for kids)
Cost: a minor fee (which includes a tour of the penguin rehabilitation centre)
Contact: Samrec (SA Marine Rehabilitation and Education Centre); get a map of the reserve when buying a permit
This is one of Port Elizabeth�s most popular, and beautiful, walks. Best of all, it isn�t difficult. The Roseate Tern Hiking Trail wends its way through the Cape Recife Nature Reserve, regarded as one of the best bird-watching spots in the city.
The hike takes you to the lighthouse, in amongst rocky outcrops and unspoilt beaches. On the initial part of the hike you reach a wooden deck with incredible views out over Algoa Bay. The trail is well marked and it is highly unlikely that you will lose your way. The walk, therefore, is less about navigation than it is about enjoying the beauty of the reserve and the freedom of being in nature.
Partway is a bird hide perfect for watching water birds and waders, and a little way afterwards the trail joins the Bush Pig Trail for a while, before making its way to the black and white striped lighthouse, the first lighthouse built in the Eastern Cape in 1851.
If you�ve managed to time your arrival with low tide then the pools on the beach are filled with sea anemones, urchins and starfish. Oystercatchers and terns (hence the name of the hike), particularly the rare Roseate tern, nest along this stretch of the beach. It is a good space, provided the wind isn�t up, to spend a while and perhaps eat a picnic.
The trail explores several beautiful beaches and old military barracks which offer great views over the bay. The circular trail heads back to the entrance gate.

Nobody puts Bridget Jones in the corner.
In 2014, Renee Zellweger stepped out looking almost unrecognizable. The internet immediately turned on her, accusing her of dramatic plastic surgery and creating offensive memes about her.
And it didn't end there. Most recently an article appeared in Variety mocking Renee and her "new face." And that's when enough became enough. At least it did for actress Rose McGowan, who took to The Hollywood Reporter to write a guest column addressing the bullying surrounding Renee.
Addressing the article's author Oliver Gleiberman, she wrote,
Renee Zellweger is a human being, with feelings, with a life, with love and with triumphs and struggles, just like the rest of us. How dare you use her as a punching bag in your mistaken attempt to make a mark at your new job. How dare you bully a woman who has done nothing but try to entertain people like you. Her crime, according to you, is growing older in a way you don't approve of. Who are you to approve of anything? What you are doing is vile, damaging, stupid and cruel. It also reeks of status quo white-male privilege. So assured are you in your place in the firmament that is Hollywood, you felt it was OK to do this. And your editors atVariety felt this was more than OK to run.
You are an active endorser of what is tantamount to harassment and abuse of actresses and women. I speak as someone who was abused by Hollywood and by people like you in the media, but I'm a different breed, one they didn't count on. I refuse and reject this bullshit on behalf of those who feel they can't speak. I am someone who was forced by a studio to go onHoward Stern, where he asked me to show him my labia while my grinning male and female publicists stood to the side and did nothing to protect me. I am someone who has withstood death threats from fan boys, had fat sites devoted to me. I've withstood harassment on a level you can't comprehend, Owen.
She continues to stand up for women who get bullied for their looks everywhere and lets him and everyone else know that it is not ok to write these things about women. She also substitutes Leo DiCaprio's name in place of Renee's in Oliver's article to emphasize the double standard that women face in the public eye.

You go Rose!
Rose notoriously shaved her head last year in an effort to liberate herself and we're so proud that she continues to stand up for women everywhere.
Read the rest of Rose's brilliant essay here.
Lena Finkel is the Editor and Founder of Femestella. Prior to starting Femestella, she worked at People, InStyle, and Tiger Beat. Her favorite Housewife is Bethenny Frankel (by far!), but when she's not watching RHONY, you can probably find her hanging with her kitty Tom or tweeting at Sen. Chuck Schumer.

I have long been a fan of different creative blogs across cyber space. Indeed, it is these blogs that inspired me to start my own little bit of blogland. Whilst I'm nowhere near the scale in popularity of these blogs, I'd like to offer my support to their efforts to raise funds for Comic Relief and to further endorse the wonderful collaboration that these fabulous ladies have been part of.
A number of creative souls have put together lots of different elements to a range of handmade dolls - to be auctioned in aid of Red Nose Day.
Below is the description from Silverpebble of the dolls to be auctioned:
"The dolls are called Maisie, Blossom, Poppy and Mac. Blossom and Mac... Maisie has wonderful red hair and has written her very own blogpost here.
Each doll will be auctioned separately with his or her respective trousseau on Ebay, beginning Thursday, 7th March and ending on the evening of Sunday 17th March. I suspect those last few minutes may be rather nail-biting. All the money raised will go to Comic Relief. "
Please see their Facebook page for further information!
These ladies are super talented so the quality of the handiwork in these dolls will be amazing and they can become favourite toys of the present or heirlooms of the future. Happy bidding in the knowledge that your donations will be going to an outstanding charity!
Good luck!
