Yes every one should add their business to GMap, It helps both the visitors and the business owners. Already PPC ads are there by adword. I don't think Google will charge money for listing in future.

Happiness is everything in this world. If you aren't happy in your life then you need to do something about it. Everyone wants to live a happy life. Sometimes this is harder for certain people due to circumstance, but the trick is finding what makes you happy and exploiting it. There is always something there. Be it a hobby or a pastime. Pets can be a clear cut route to happiness. In Varying ways they bring out the best in people, keeping a great big beaming smile on the face of their owners by doing funny things and generally being endearing in the max. You may have already considered the fact, but read on for more detail. If you are feeling of low mood, or even depressed, a pet can help get you to where you need to be.
In the first instance it gives you something to care for. If you are living alone and have no dependents this can be a great plus. You can explore your natural need to care by doing so for your dog or cat. Remember, they will need a lot of stuff that can be expensive, ranging from beds and toys right to medication such as k 9 advantix. There will be jabs you need to get for the pet too. Bear these financial burdens in mind before you go out and get the pet.
They can help you get the exercise you need too. If you find yourself needing a reason to go outside and get that run in then get a dog. Most of them need at least one walk a day, and you'll take them out. You can run with them, or even just walk. Doing this each day will keep you fit. There is an obligation to your dog, so if you don't do it you will feel bad. After a while you will slip into routine and it won't feel like exercise at all. Not one bit. Remember, the breed of dog will dictate how much you exercise. A smaller dog will need way less than a big one like a German shepherd or a huskey. Just ensure you have the time to do this or the dog will become agitated.
If you are feeling lonely, a pet can fill the void. Dogs are the best because they are full of affection. Cats can be great too if you don't have the time to take dogs for walks all of the time. Having another being around you can be a great way to take the edge off, though it isn't the same as a human. As such, use your pet as an in. Go to a dog walking club and meet new people. There are many new possibilities to consider when getting a new animal. This is but one of them.
There are many reasons to get a new pet, just be sure it is right for you. Spend some time in an animal shelter and sense if you are in any way allergic to the kind in question. You'll know whether it is the right option for you and then you can make an informed decision.

The impending superstorm could assist the Eagles and impact the Chargers & Browns.

Tom Brady & Sam Bradford Take The NFL To London's Wembley Stadium.

Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Redskins are surprisingly similar teams. Both rep inconsistent 3-4-formation defenses, both have two high octane and creative offenses and both have yet to win two consecutive games this year. But the most obvious comparison is that both have a quarterback who can make plays in and out of the pocket, throwing and/or running the ball. Both teams will desperately need their franchise QB's, Ben Roethisberger and RG3, to make big plays in the mud with a heavy dose of rain falling on Pittsburgh all weekend.
NFLWeather.com forecasts an 80% of rain for game Sunday and that's not even the worst of it. The high will only top off around 48 degrees and winds will be swirling around 15 mph with similar conditions on Saturday. The problem with Saturday is the University of Pittsburgh has a home football game against Temple and if the rains come down during the game then the grass field for Sunday will be a complete mess. The Steelers are already known for having tough field conditions but these might take the cake for week eight. That being said, it'll be smash mouth football at it's finest with tempo and ball control ruling the outcome.
Neither defense is particularly solid against the run. Pittsburgh (3-3) has allowed over four yards per carry this season and the aging unit just isn't the same without Troy Polamalu who will miss the Washington (3-4) game. According to NFLWeather's historical analytics, the lone rain game the Steelers played early this year, a 16-14 week five win at home over Philadelphia, the defense rose to the occasion and pummeled a team with a similar style to that of the Skins'. The Eagles were only able to muster up 78 yards on the ground and contained Michael Vick to 168 yards passing while forcing two critical turnovers. Matching that performance all but guarantees a win for Pittsburgh at home.
But the biggest difference between the Eagles offense and the Redskins is Philly's doesn't have a quarterback who leads the NFL in completion percentage (70.4%). Robert Griffith III has lived up to the Heisman hype, even if the sample size has only been seven games. But one thing he hasn't gone up against yet is a tough road game in the rain. Whereas the Roethisberger and the Steelers always feel at home in crappy weather, according to the NFLWeather's historical analytics, the Skins won their last road game a year ago in Seattle's boisterous stadium. But wind, mud and a driving rain might be enough to cause problems for a rookie. RG3 will still have his drop back pocket passes and rollouts but rain might force the play calling to focus more on his designed QB sneaks out of the pistol formation. Getting a few lead blockers in front of him might be the best way to consistently grind out four and five yard plays if the passing game starts to slip away.
Grinding it out for the Skins should be left to Alfred Morris. With Pittsburgh experiencing major injury issues in the backfield, Morris has seized his opportunity after the starters in front of him went down. For the Steelers, Jonathan Dwyer will start for the injured Rashard Mendenhall who is out and Isaac Redman is probable and will backup Dwyer. Both Morris and Dwyer are bruising power backs but Morris has been at the job for a few weeks now. The Steelers should expect to see a heavy dose of Morris in the mud and might even see a few swing passes out of the backfield if they can catch the Steelers on a blitz. Dwyer surprisingly leads the team in rushing with 192 yards but don't be surprised if Ben Roethlisberger ends up with more carries as both sides thrive off broken plays and scrambling. Big Ben has made a career of that and little will change in the game plan for Sunday.
This game had all the potential for turning into a shootout but the storms could force the play calling more conservative which is hard to imagine given these two teams. Both will desperately be relying on the play of their quarterbacks and if the game comes down to a field goal, there's a good chance neither Shaun Suisham nor newcomer Kai Forbath will deliver. It will be one big, broken play that will make the difference in the Burgh

Weather forecast for some of the key matchups of week 7 is now up at the National Football Post.

by Will Strome - Columnist, NFLWeather.com | 10-18-2012 15:00
The NFC West hasn't been the powerhouse division of the conference in previous seasons but that's all in the past. The Arizona Cardinals crept their way to 4-0 before dropping two straight while preseason favorite, the 49ers, currently share a similar record but sit in third behind a rookie quarterback and his surprising Seattle side, building up to a brawl for Thursday Night Football when the Seattle Seahawks fly south to take on San Francisco.
NFLWeather.com forecasts clear skies above Candlestick Park with an evening low in the upper-50s and a southern 5-10 mph breeze. However, the stadium sits at sea level and the field is lower so the bluegrass surface is usually a bit soggy. This has never been an issue for 49ers all-pro kicker David Akers but Akers has already missed five field goals this season and is coming off an undisclosed illness.
Damp field conditions are typical for Seattle who stunned the New England Patriots in the rain last week, 24-23. But away from home is a completely different story, especially against a 49ers team that has won the last three consecutive meetings and hasn't lost to the Seahawks at home since 2008.
The new and improved Seattle defense is heavy in size and speed. The 49ers might have the leagues best defense (275.8ypg) but Seattle isn't too far behind, fourth in the NFL with 294.7 yards allowed per game. What separates the Seahawks from San Francisco is their stifling run defense, surrendering only 70 yards a game. However, this week the unit will be put to the test against the league's top rushing offense anchored by Frank Gore and averaging over 175 yards per game.
San Francisco will run the ball both between and outside the tackles to control the tempo and time of possession battle. Gore will get plenty of carries but the 49ers will try to get Alex Smith comfortable early by alleviating some of the pressure with a string of short passes. Seattle is great at pressuring the QB, making him uncomfortable and forcing costly turnovers. Last weekend in the 49ers dismal home loss to the New York Giants, 26-3, Smith threw three interceptions of the four he's thrown all season. Limiting mistakes is all SF needs to do to get back on track and they have a perfect evening on the dock of the Bay to do so.

Rain could be a factor in tonight's Steelers-Titans matchup.
Just four days after victory in a piercing October rainstorm, the Pittsburgh Steelers head down South for yet another downpour. Last week, the Steelers survived both the rain and the visiting Philadelphia Eagles with a field goal as time expired. But a trip to Nashville to play the Titans on a short week and a 40% chance of rain could really shake things up for an injury-plagued Pittsburgh.

Few compliments can be given to Mark Sanchez and the New York Jets offense, thus far, this season.

A key matchup taking place in the rain soaked Northeast is the Cleveland Browns taking on the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Both teams are coming off tough losses on the road look to turn it around in week 5. NFLWeather.com is reporting a 70% chance of rain, cloudy skies, with highs near 60 degrees.
Despite being 0-4, the Cleveland Browns have competed well in the 2012 season. Running back Trent Richardson has become a valuable part of the Browns offense and a premiere running back in this league. Last week against an experienced Raven defense, Richardson accumulated 104 total yards and a touchdown in rainy Baltimore. So look for the Browns to continue feeding number 33 the ball this week in what will sure to be another wet contest.
As for the Browns receiving corps, they're banged up. With Mohamed Massaquoi, Travis Benjamin, and Joshua Cribbs all out with injury, Quarterback Brandon Weeden is most likely to rely on Greg Little who has been inconsistent this season. This week is not going to get any easier for him with a slippery football and some modified routes. If the Giants defense reduces Cleveland to a one dimensional offense, this could be another long day for Browns fans.
The Giants are also hampered by injuries on both sides of the ball. Wide receiver Victor Cruz is expected to see most of the targets from Eli Manning with Hakeem Nicks sidelined and Ramses Barden questionable this week. Despite the Browns strong pass rush, opposing quarterbacks have been averaging 286 yards through the air.
This is a big game for both teams. Cleveland is obviously looking for its first victory while New York is practically in a must win situation, given their tough schedule ahead. If forecasts are correct, New York has the advantage based on their ability to move the ball through the air

When cross-state rivals Pittsburgh and Philadelphia clash it's never pretty. In fact, it's a rivalry about as roughed-up as the playing surface inside Heinz Field will be following this physical matchup. Factor in a 30% chance of rain as forecast by NFLWeather.com and this Keystone State clash has all the ingredients for a memorable, hate-filled classic.

When the Bengals head south to take on the Jaguars, NFLWeather.com reports a 40% chance of rain with the potential for late thunderstorms. Furthermore, a high just shy of 90 will make for an extremely muggy afternoon.
To few fans surprise, A.J. Green has transformed into one of the premier receivers in the league. Those unfamiliar with his collegiate work at Georgia are now blown away by his explosiveness and sheer athleticism across the field. Speed, size, agility and soft hands; the kid has it all. And if the rain doesn't, Jacksonville will desperately need to shut him down on Sunday. A slippery and muddy grass surface inside EverBank Field just might be enough to slow down some of the weapons in Cincinnati's new and improving offensive arsenal.
Andy Dalton has more than just one option to turn to and second-year man out of Toledo Andrew Hawkins has filled the void left by Jerome Simpson. Hawkins has 12 receptions for 208 yards and two touchdowns but only two catches in each of his last two games. Jacksonville (1-2) will do everything possible to shut down Green so Dalton will look to Hawkins and tight end Jermaine Greshman to be more of a presence in the passing game. But will the Floridian rains have an impact on Cincinnati's play calling?
Unfortunately for the visitors the rain seems to be an ally for the Jags at home. A 2-0 rain record since 2010 including a 41-14 trouncing of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a year ago. Blaine Gabbert's first outing in the rain ended with a win over their cross state rivals and a 217 passing yard performance including a pair of touchdowns and interceptions. The Bengals (2-1) on the other hand have lost their last two rain games on the road and Dalton has yet to play in stormy weather away from home. But last season when the Bengals hosted the Browns on a rainy Ohio day Dalton threw for 270 yards and a touchdown and most importantly, zero picks en route to a 23-20 win capped by a game winning fourth quarter drive.
Jacksonville needs to apply pressure and limit Dalton's time in the pocket. The Bengals rank eighth in yards per game (391.7) and fourth in passing (291) and still manage to grind out just over 100 yards rushing. It's a versatile offense against a Jags defense that gives up over 400 yards per game. The best way for the Jags to prevent the Bengals from torching their defense is to simply keep it off the field.
Despite having an offense that averages an AFC-worst 17.3 points per game, Jacksonville averages over 120 rushing yards per game and 4.5 yards per carry. Maurice Jones-Drew is playing like his old self again, averaging 5.3 yards a carry and fought for 314 yards and touchdown as the Jags offensive workhorse. And what better a scenario than all MJD show, grinding it out in the mud against the second-worst rushing defense in the NFL with 155 yards allowed per game. Given the rain and a recovering Laurent Robinson (probable, concussion), the Jags will limit Gabbert's attempts to avoid turnovers so MJD will be the primary focal point of the offense. But that doesn't mean Gabbert can't make his own success through the air. If MJD starts doing some damage, the play action fake could burn the Bengals big time.
Not many people are expecting much out of Jacksonville this season but a watered down secondary and a rainy afternoon could be the recipe for success. Both teams have strengths in their offenses but mammoth holes in their defenses. Both teams have experienced kickers with substantial boots. The real question ultimately comes down to which sophomore quarterback will rise up and take control of this one? If Jacksonville can't capitalize on the field conditions, Cincinnati will very quietly be sitting right next to the Baltimore Ravens atop the AFC North with a 3-1 record.

Thursday night's matchup features two teams looking to prove themselves as playoff contenders early on in this 2012 season. The banged up New York Giants squad will travel down to Charlotte to take on Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers on what looks to be a clear night at Bank of America Field. NFLweather.com forecasts show clear skies with lows in the upper 50s and light winds. With weather not likely to have an important role in Thursday's game, look for other factors to affect the outcome of this matchup.
The Giants injury report has grown once again this past week with key players Ahmad Bradshaw, David Diehl, Domenik Hixon, and just recently Hakeem Nicks ruled out for Thursday's matchup with various injuries. However, with injury comes opportunity. The Giants will most likely turn to Andre Brown to start at running back with David Wilson being a close backup. Expect Brown to see a heavy workload against a Carolina defense who was ranked dead last against the run last year and has already surrendered 5.2 yards per carry against opposing running backs this season.
Since it will be a clear night, Eli Manning will look to air it out as always. With Nicks out, Victor Cruz will likely see most of the targets from Manning. Although tight end Martellus Bennett is off to a fast start and could be an option for Eli in the red zone. As for other receivers filling in for injured Hicks and Hixon, 2012 third round draft pick Reuben Randle has yet to see an increased workload but these injuries have created opportunity for him and this could be the game he breaks out of his shell.
As for the Panthers offense, we have stressed the importance of containing Cam Newton and Thursday night will be no different for the New York Giants defense. Last week we saw Newton tear up the Saints defense by throwing for 250 yards and a touchdown, while also running for 73 yards and a score. The giants have been average against the run this year and should be able to keep Newton in check with their athletic defensive linemen. Panther's running backs this season have been extremely inconsistent in terms of workload with Mike Tolbert now receiving carries with D'Angelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart inside the red zone. This is something to keep in mind when setting your fantasy roster.
The real problem for the Giants defense this year has come against the pass. The Giants secondary has surrendered 550 yards and 5 touchdowns through the air in two games. Panther's offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski will most likely start out with short throws to keep Cam comfortable in the pocket on this cool night then try to expose an injured Giants secondary with receivers Steve Smith and Brandon Lafell. Since Smith is a legitimate deep threat, he is likely to have safety help over the top. This opens up the field for Lafell, who has been a top-ten fantasy receiver the first two weeks and will most likely continue that trend.
Given the clear skies Thursday night and Bank of America's natural grass surface, making strong cuts shouldn't be a problem for defenders. In a game with two high-powered offenses, it will likely come down to turnovers. And with both teams likely to air it out a lot, it will be interesting to see which defense steps up.

TORONTO — Porn.com has announced that it is now enjoying a 50 percent increase in visitors from North Carolina, following moves by some porn sites to ban fans from the state due to its passing of House Bill 2 (HB2) on March 23.
According to the company, it accepts all open-minded viewers, without discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or what state they happen to be in at the moment. As a result, adult entertainment fans from the Tar Heel State are reportedly flocking to Porn.com without fear of discrimination.
"The state of North Carolina has a population of nearly 10 million people, but only 32 legislators in the state voted for HB2," explained Chris of Porn.com. "We have no desire to punish millions of innocent adult video fans as a way of getting a message across to 32 misguided individuals."
"If anything, allowing North Carolinians to continue watching transsexual videos on Porn.com for free is a useful way of contributing to the dialogue that needs to take place," Chris adds. "[Hopefully] these 32 legislators can become more compassionate, understanding and civil toward the trans population."
HB2, also known as "The Bathroom Bill" was introduced only a month after the city of Charlotte passed a measure to protect the LGBT community, with legislators ratifying it after only 12 hours of debate.
The law was written to supersede local non-discrimination measures and focuses on narrowly specifying gender for the purpose of public bathroom usage.
Many advocacy groups have correctly pointed out that the law is aimed at marginalizing the transgender community by creating undue burdens on personal freedom, while using the force of law to shun people who naturally identify as a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth.
"We are opposed to HB2 as much as Bruce Springsteen and all the others who are speaking out, but it doesn't make any sense to fight discrimination by discriminating against innocent people who have nothing to do with HB2," Chris explains. "Transsexual niche video content has always been available alongside all of the other categories of entertainment on the Porn.com website, because we understand that displaying human sexuality in all its diverse flavors is a key element of building the kind of culture that is supportive of every citizen's right to determine their own sexual identity."
The company is embracing this opportunity to help educate people about transsexuals and alternative sexual identities in a judgment-free atmosphere.
"We are here to provide the best porn entertainment without the kind of political undercurrent that distracts people from what they wanted to see in the first place," Chris concludes. "If you or someone you love is living in North Carolina and did not vote for HB2, visit Porn.com. You can learn a lot about transsexual identity, and a wide variety of other sexual themes without anyone discriminating against you right now."

Crème Brûlée
March 25, 2015
|Prep Time
|10 minutes
|Cook Time
|30 minutes
- 4 Egg Yolks
- 1/3 Cup Granulated Sugar (Plus extra for the brûlée on top.)
- 2 Cups Heavy Cream
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- Preheat Oven to 325 degrees.
- Mix together the Egg Yolks and the Granulated Sugar until combined.
- In a small saucepan, heat the cream until scalding, but do not let boil (If it does boil, don't panic . . . it will be fine.)
- Place 4 ramekins on a sheet tray so they are ready for you to pour the custard.
- Stir the scalded cream slowly into the egg yolks until combined, then add the vanilla and salt. (I prefer Vanilla bean paste for this as it makes the vanilla flavor more robust in this custard.)
- Pour the custard mix into the ramekins and place in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the custard is just set. Once set remove from oven and allow to cool at room temperature until they are easily handled. Then refrigerate until fully chilled.
- When ready to serve remove custards from the fridge and dab any moisture from the top of the custards. Then sprinkle with a light coating of sugar and you can either Broil the sugar until it caramelizes or you can use a blowtorch. Just be careful, once it begins to caramelize, it goes fast so be ready to pull the tray from the broiler or to cut the torch off quickly.
- Eat within the hour as the crispy caramel crust will only stay crunchy for a short time.
Recipe Notes
This recipe was adapted from the book "Professional Baking." It is a very simple recipe and I didn't want to stray too far. I hope you get as much use out of it as I do.

I don't know about you but I love patterned leggings. I am obsessed with Teeki leggings (review coming soon!) but I am always on the look out for affordable active wear. I'll be totally honest F&F at Tesco is not a place I would usually think of looking for leggings but if you are on the hunt for affordable yet cute yoga clothes then this is certainly a great place to look!
I received the F&F Active Printed Leggings in a monochrome floral print and a sports bra to match. The leggings were a perfect fit, for reference these are a UK 8 and I would say they are true to size. The leggings are high waisted with a wide waistband , I also liked that there is a little zipped pocket at the back of the waistband which is perfect for slotting in a key or a card while you are at the gym.
The leggings also feature flattering side seams and a zip detail on the ankle. The fabric is thick and high quality which, considering the price is only £14, is fantastic. They are also 100% opaque so no underwear on show!
The sports bra which is in the same print is also great quality but I would recommend it for low impact exercise only as it doesn't have a huge amount of support. The fit was good but sizing wise the UK 8 is a little big for me. I do have a lot of problems in general with sports bras and the straps being too loose #ShortGirlProblems.
What do you think? If you are in the market for new affordable leggings then I would certainly give F&F Active a try.
This is not a sponsored post. The F&F items were kindly sent to me for my consideration.

The cold temps in the evening are keeping the folks from walking the path, but they are still coming. Got my first Gray Line bus last night, along with a few limos. This weekend should really kick it off as most of the tour groups are starting their trips (including the Holly Trolleys). I will have help directing traffic on Friday & Saturday nights.
At the moment, all figures are working and all strings of lights are working…but thats a daily thing. You may notice that I am still adding lights, here and there. I did take the movement out of the train because it did not show up very well in pictures.
Remember, donations go to the Shrine Children's Hospitals!
Look forward to meeting you.

I am not a fan of RAP and I probably will never be. It doesn't mean that I won't appreciate talents. But it does take a lot to make me fall in love with any artist. So when my best friend told me about him I was a little skeptical, but I must say that I was surprised . Not only is he talented, but he's also really nice, funny, respectful. Before having an interview with him I had a chance to follow him on social media and all. I like to have an idea of who I'm about to interview so I can come up with questions that fit the person. I have been listening to his songs "Sikatris" and "Haiti pam nan diferan" among others but these two are my favorites so far. What made him stood out more to me was how he dressed and carried himself. The fact he is in school while trying to succeed to me that says a lot. LOL Lord knows sometimes even with a "normal" job you can't keep up with school work, for him to have to travel all the time and still managing to graduate that takes dedication. A lot of people were excited to see the interview. So I hope through his interview you can learn something from him.
Who is Baky Popilè?
My real name is St-Hubert Lugendy Baptista, born on May 6th, 1991 in Cayes from the south of Haiti. My dad is a pastor and my mom is a nurse. I am the youngest out of 4 brothers. I am currently studying international relation. As a young artist, I signed with "RKM recordz" for 3 years. While sign to them I have released 1 album and 3 mixtapes.
Why did you choose this name as your artist name?
Popilè came from the fact that I would be winning awards no matter what sports I would be playing. So that's how I got Popilè from a very young age. For Baky it was my friend who gave it to me while playing domino. He thought Baptista was too long for him to write down. From this day on I've kept it.
You are actually attending Université Quisqueya (a university in Haiti), how do you manage it with your career? What's your Major?
Well, it's not easy. But everything is about planning, so I make sure that I plan everything accordingly so neither of them overshadow one and another. Studying International Relation, I am in my 6th semester so I have a few left before I can get my bachelor.
RAP wasn't really as popular as it is now back in the day, so when did you know that RAP is something that you would want to do? Who or what inspired you to become one?
I've always been a huge fan of RAP as a kid. I've written some songs but it was never my intention to publish anything. It was all of fun and games. Growing up I had a lot of Haitian RAP group that I looked up too. The whole reason why I started to put my music out, was when one of my friends got killed in DR (Dominican Republic). I name the song "Paskem se Ayisyen" (Because I am Haitian). It was the 1st song I ever record. This song for me was a way to start a revolution, to address things that need to be addressed . From this point on a lot of people started to show interest in me. That's how I got signed to RKM. you can say that when I really started to see that I can make an impact with my music.
Were you skeptical of how you would be perceived by everyone like your family, friends, especially that you are in school?
To be honest, I come from a family where everyone respects each other's opinion. My parents support my dream, if I love something they will not stop me from exploring it. They will actually guide me through It by giving me advice and be there for me. They are only concern about me being on the right path. They know who they raise so, they weren't as worried. Whatever I want to do they give me the green light to do so. I was not worried about how people would be perceived me. My thing is I am doing it for me before doing it for anyone else. Plus, I wouldn't allow this to make me quit school, I believe I can do both.
What do you think makes you different from the other rappers in Haiti? How would you like the people to see you?
Every rapper in Haiti is different from one another because they are different people. They are all inspired by different things. Each of us are on a different mission. So that's why I'm different than them. I want to bring something completely different than what everyone else is bringing. I hope that my colleagues will see me as I see them. Respect me for who I am. I am who I am, I don't intend on changing the person that I am too pleased anyone. With me what you see is what you get.
How would you describe Baky Popilè style (clothing wise)?
When it comes to dressing Baky is different. I know that my body love certain type of clothes. If I put something on, you best believe that everyone is going to fall for it. I don't like anything complicated, I am a very simple guy. I love to be different. I like when I walk somewhere that people know I'm an artist.
I see that you have some really powerful songs, but one of my favorites is " Sikatris" Avec Ti Joe Zenny. I always wonder if Sikatris was based on a true story. Is it?
Glory to God is not a true story, I don't know how I would be able to handle it. It's one of those imaginary stories. But the moment I wrote it, I knew it was going to touch a lot of people. Especially the one that have lost their love ones. I wanted my music to be a reminder of how things will be okay, in a way to remind them of the one they've lost along the way.
A second one is "Haiti Pam nan Diferan " Ft J Perry. What was the inspiration behind it? Why choose these specifics artists to collaborate with on these songs?
I wanted people to know that my Haiti is different than what they know of. I wanted to send a message through the song which is Haiti is more than what you've been shown on television , the country has so many beautiful landscapes that you can visit. Our culture is beautiful and rich. J Perry is one of the few artists that is always interested in making a positive song about Haiti. I reached out to him to talk about the idea, from there the rest is history.
If you could do one thing right now what would it be?
I would want to heal one of my friend who's sick. Also to sleep because I am tired as we speak lol.
What are your hopes for Haiti? How do you hope to impact Haiti?
My hopes for Haiti are the same as this young generation who wants to see a change in the country in every shape or form. We want a better life for every single Haitian, not just one social class. I hope through my music I can inspire and also through what I study I make a difference while bringing something fresh to the table. Knowledge is power so through it I can bring a little bit of my participation.
Besides music, what does Baky enjoy to do?
I love hanging out with friends, play with my PlayStation, travel, relax myself and eat.
What should we hope to see next for Baky Popilè? Whether it's music or any other ventures? Maybe a tour?
I am currently working on my new album, so stay tuned for the new music and videos. We are planning for a new tour; you know we have a lot of countries we hope to visit.
Would you say Baky is single or? If you are single, what do you look for in a woman?
This is kind of personal lol I don't really like to talk about my personal life. Because a relationship is always changing. I can tell you something while we are speaking today lol, and tomorrow you might ask me the same question. You might get another answer because I am mad lol. So yes I like to keep this part private. Just know that I am here, living life … What I look for in a woman is honesty, that she have self-respect. Everything else doesn't really matter.
It's a tradition for me to ask anyone that I'm interviewing if they have one last thing they would like to say. I don't know a message or anything that I might have left out to the readers.
I want to say thank you for interviewing me. Thank you to all my fans that have been with me since the beginning, and to the ones that are just now following me. I know that you have been waiting for some new music it's coming. I promise that this month you will be getting some new materials. Also, I'll be announcing the new album. I've grown so much from the last time you saw me. I will be bringing a lot of amazing things soon. I love you guys so much. Love and peace.
Thank you to Baky for allowing me to interview him, I appreciated how nice he was when I reached out to him. I always have a huge respect for people who give others a chance. This whole interview process was funny to me because of how busy he was. We literally couldn't get our schedule to coincide with one and another but we came up with a plan. Trying to coordinate was a little tough. I was a fan of him before the interview by the end he made me a FAN lol. He is so down to earth.
So Lady Sergine lovebugs, you can keep with him by following him on Instagram @bakypopile, Facebook @Baky, his website is http://www.bakypopile.com.

Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) is a member of a distinct family of G-protein coupled receptors. TAAR1 is activated by endogenous trace amines (TA) such as β-phenylethylamine (PEA) and para-tyramine (p-TYR). Abnormal levels of TAs have been associated with mood disorders, but the physiological role of TAAR1 remains unclear. My thesis is that TAAR1 represents a novel target of amphetamine (AMPH) and methamphetamine (METH). The four studies described here were designed to test hypotheses derived from this thesis. In the first study I tested the hypothesis that AMPH and METH are agonists at several mammalian species of TAAR1. A pharmacological characterization of the activation of TAAR1 by trace amines, AMPH, and METH was carried out using an in vitro cAMP assay. The results show that PEA and p-TYR are potent agonists at TAAR1, that there is a significant difference in stereoselectivity with respect to isomers of AMPH and METH, and the stereoselectivity is species-dependent. In the second study I explored the determinants of species-specific TAAR1 stereoselectivity. I hypothesized amino acids that differ between species in key locations of the putative ligand-binding domain for TAAR1 are responsible for the observed species-dependent stereoselectivity. Using site-directed mutagenesis, a mutation to transmembrane 6, M6.55T for the rat and T6.55M in the case of the mouse, caused a decrease of potency in the rat while increasing potency in the mouse for both the S(+) and R(-) enantiomers of AMPH and METH. A mutation in transmembrane 7, N7.39Y for the rat and Y7.39N for the mouse, reversed the species dependent stereoselectivity of the rat and mouse TAAR1 to enantiomers of AMPH and METH. My third study tested the hypothesis that METH and AMPH activate the wildtype human TAAR1 (hTAAR1). Using a cAMP-dependent reporter assay I demonstrated that PEA as well as both isomers of METH and AMPH activated the wild-type hTAAR1 in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations that are exceeded by users of these drugs. The fourth study investigated the hypothesis that the human dopamine transporter (hDAT) and hTAAR1 co-localize in cells. HEK-293 cells, stably expressing hDAT fused to green fluorescent protein (hDAT-GFP), were treated with METH resulting in redistribution of hDAT-GFP from the cell surface to the cytoplasm. There was also some preliminary evidence of hTAAR1 and hDAT co-localization. In conclusion, TAAR1 is potently activated by METH in vitro at concentrations less than those commonly observed in drug abusers. Preliminary evidence of DAT co-localization with hTAAR1 and METH induced internalization of DAT suggests that hTAAR1 could play a role in mediating some of METHâs mental and physical effects. Therefore, I conclude that TAAR1 represents a novel target for potential anti-METH medication and for improved psychotherapeutics in some mood disorders.

Making my Own Goat's Milk Cheese – The Story
- 2 liters Fresh Goat's Milk
- 1/32 teaspoon Mad Millie Mesophilic starter culture
- 1/2 tablet Mad Millie Rennet, Dissolved in non-chlorinated water
- to taste Non-iodized salt (cheese salt)
- to taste Herbs (such as chives)
- 1/8th cup Non-chlorinated water
- Heat the milk to 25℃ in a large pot over medium heat.
- Stir to prevent the milk from scolding.
- Once the milk reaches the required temperature, remove from heat.
- Sprinkle the mesophilic starter culture evenly over the milk and allow to rehydrate for 5 minutes.
- Stir for a few minutes until the culture is well-blended into the milk.
- Dissolve the rennet in non-chlorinated water.
- Stir to dissolve and add to the milk.
- Stir for one minute until everything is well mixed.
- Cover the pot with a lid and set aside. Allow the milk to set for at least 12 hours.
After 12 hours, the curd will have formed and separated from the whey.
- The curds are very fragile so they should be handled with great care.
- Spoon the curd into a fine cheesecloth laid over a sieve.
- Or if your are using cheese or feta molds, cover the inside of the mold with fine cheesecloth and spoon the curd into the molds.
- Leave to drain for at least one day, two if you have the time.
- Half way through the draining process, turn the cheese over in the cheese cloth.
- When done, the cheese should retain it's shape. If you do not use molds, fold the four ends of the cheesecloth together and twist a few times until the cheese forms a ball in the centre.
- Tie off the ends with string to retain the ball shape.
- Hang the cheese from a cupboard door (or something similar) with a bowl underneath to catch the whey.
- Hang for one or two days and turn the cheese halfway during the process.
Once the cheese is firm enough to hold it's shape, season with salt and herbs and serve. Access cheese should be covered in plastic wrap and kept in the refrigerator where it will keep for about one week.

Depicting as part of spontaneous communication
Herbert H. Clark
Stanford University
In scientific studies since Wundt, communication has been divided into
speech and gesture, or verbal and nonverbal communication. Yet in
literary studies since Plato, it has been divided into describing and
depicting (Plato's diegesis and mimesis), categories that cut across
speech and gesture. Whereas the first division is by modality, the
second is by method. I will argue that we have much to gain from
investigating communication by method instead of modality. To make this
case, I will concentrate on depicting. I will show how it arises in
everyday discourse both on its own and combined with describing. And I
will show how it is fundamentally different from describing in the way
it works both pragmatically and psychologically.

Knighthood led to Oregon Trail which led to Mousehunt. I've also been Owned, Interested, collected stickers, buttons, flair, played Mahjong, and belonged to a Mafia and a Mob. They were all okay for awhile, but nothing was quite like Farmville. What I am about to tell you is not for those with weak stomachs. Let's add one more vile, disgusting, cringe-worthy admission to my growing list of truths.
You might not think it's a real addiction, yet I can tell you first hand the similarities are quite striking. It started out as a promise to kick my friend David's ass in less than a month. He'd been playing awhile and was apparently quite good. I thought it was stupid and avoided it as long as possible. When I started I blocked the game from posting anything to my wall. I didn't want anyone to know I was playing. I wasn't a Farmville nerd. I was simply trying to prove a point. Duh.
By the time it was all said and done, I didn't care who knew I was playing. I was sneaking a plow in at the office, telling my kids I was going to take a little "nap", and making excuses not to go out. One night I set my alarm for 3 AM so I could get up and harvest a bumper crop of square melons. Hell, if there was someone giving out FVcash for sexual favors I'd have been all "Heyyyy baby, come on over here. I'll ____ your _____ for $25 FV Cash. Come on. I just need a little. Pleaseeee." But no one carries FV cash, right? Seriously... right? I mean it's not like I want any or anything. (twitch)
I bought $25 worth of FV Cash
I became that fake farmer I had been making fun of only a month before. I secretly loathed other Farmville players who had cluttered farms. If your farm was poorly set up I just harvested your trees, and got the hell out. I would sit and think to myself, "This idiot needs to learn to use the fences. This place is a hole. It looks like Noah's Ark vomited livestock all over the damn place and it takes for f*cking ever to load. Jesus wept. I hate this farm."
If you didn't help me with a project you could just consider your request for help right up there on the top of my list of shit to never do. People who repeatedly sent me crappy stuff got the bottom of the barrel gifts that you unlock just by having a farm. "Pile of leaves anyone? Yeah that's right, bitch. You are getting the leaves. Thanks for the f*cking watering can. Here's a rusty nail for ya. I hope your crops wither."
Then one day you find yourself alone in your addiction. It's not enough anymore to just play the game. You start sending invites to your friends. "You should play. It's pretty fun actually. I didn't think I would like it at first, but it's really cool. You should just get a farm. I'll help you. I'll send you stuff. Even if you don't want to actually play can you please just get a farm so I can add you as a neighbor? You won't have to do anything. Listen, don't tell anyone this, but I can get you things. There's a rainbow chicken that costs real money. I'll get it for you."
After months of downward spiraling, late night harvests, and ridiculous discussions that would have had me committed to a padded room 15 years ago... I received a call from my step-mom that went something like this, "You're never going to level up that way. The cost of your seeds vs. the amount of time they take to harvest is a waste. I finished the grapes you needed on that Co-Op job you opened. Oh and I harvested your chickens." That's right... she said she harvested my chickens. At that moment I realized what I had become. You don't harvest livestock.
So while some of you absorb that bit of information... I'll leave you with this:

Retreat Focused on Building Skilled, Active Diversity Advocates
Eddie Moore Jr. is certain that true racial integration won't happen in America without efforts such as Pitt's Year of Diversity.
"Integration without education doesn't work," said Moore, keynote speaker for the second annual University-wide Diversity Retreat and director of The Privilege Institute in Green Bay, Wisc. "People today in 2017 are still thinking like its 1917." And parts of the country are "still segregated like its 1917," he added.
Moore opened the event last month, which included a slate of diversity workshops, by noting that the creation of a diverse society is complex work that is far from complete in America. "I didn't grow up with diversity skills," he said of his Southwestern Florida childhood in a majority black neighborhood. "I like to say I had anti-diversity skills. This is some of the challenge we're still facing today in major cities. We've got to go to the next level on some of these issues."
Working toward diversity means creating equity in more areas of life than race relations, he said. The job that universities like Pitt face, Moore explained, is building skill sets in all areas of diversity. He believes that any modern workplace, but particularly educational institutions, must ask: "What kind of folks are you sending into the world? What kind of skill sets are they possessing?"
Creating a Pitt community knowledgeable about improving diversity and inclusion is not just instilling "knowledge for the sake of knowledge," Moore concluded in his address to attendees. "This is knowledge for the sake of action."
Looking Back on a Year of Diverse Programming
One workshop marked the finale of the Year of Diversity, which concluded June 30. The Year of Diversity was the third annual effort directed by the Office of the Provost to focus the Pitt community on a single topic.
The workshop was led by the Year of Diversity's committee co-chairs: faculty members Waverly Duck, from the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences' Department of Sociology, and Kacey Marra, from the School of Medicine's Department of Plastic Surgery and the Swanson School of Engineering's Department of Bioengineering.
Duck pointed out the wealth of events spawned by the Year of Diversity – more than 200 on all five Pitt campuses, including 168 supported by up to $5,000 each in matching funds from the Office of the Provost. Even before the Oct. 10 kickoff celebration, the year began with an address from a co-founder of the national Social Justice Training Institute at new student orientation, followed by such varied events as a minority, disabled and disadvantaged business seminar; a talk on "The Case for Diversity in Healthcare"; an indigenous education symposium; a concert of South Asian music; and a presentation on incarcerated women and the realities they face behind bars.
Duck said the Year of Diversity taught him the many ways his colleagues thought about diversity – as both an experience and an identity, for instance – as well as the large variety of diversity resources on campus. "We wanted to make sure we were speaking to a host of experiences," he said of the Year's organizing effort. "There were issues I was never really aware of that I am now mindful of."
Added Marra: "We hope that some of the events that were found to be most impactful will continue. How do we make this not just the Year of Diversity but the decade – make it as long as we need to?"
The Year of Diversity lives on, Marra explained, in the continuing work of its organizing committee and in new University efforts to create diversity-focused events and opportunities. These include workshops to aid faculty in including diversity in many disciplines, as well as new diversity research funding – up to $5,000 per project – from the University Research Council for faculty, post-docs and graduate students.
Title IX: A Diversity Law That Comes With Responsibilities
A workshop on Title IX showed Pitt employees how to handle complaints under its rules. The 1972 federal law forbids, "on the basis of sex … discrimination under any education program," has also brought important new responsibilities to University personnel. Because understanding Title IX requirements will better equip the university to serve its entire community equitably, representatives from the Title IX office (Katie Pope, the University's Title IX coordinator, and Title IX Specialist Carrie Benson) directed staff and faculty attending the retreat on how to apply the law in classrooms and offices during one of the day's other workshops.
The law governs how universities handle incidents of everything from sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination to sexual violence. And, Pope noted, all Pitt employees have a duty to report incidents of sexual misconduct to her office, if informed about them by a student or colleague – even if the victim, or "reporting party," is reluctant to take action.
"It's rare that the reporting party comes to us directly," Pope said.
Once the Title IX office is contacted, a representative will reach out to the victim via email, to which he or she may respond when ready – even if that is months later.
The first step in handling complaints is a safety assessment of the victim's situation. "We want to help the individual get back to the classroom or back to the work space as quickly and safely as possible," Pope said.
Pope and Benson walked the workshop attendees through the process triggered once a complaint is filed with their office: Victims can decide whether they wish to contact police or ask for an investigation of the incident. The University may take interim measures to restrict contact between victim and alleged perpetrator, or institute informal procedures such as educating or warning the latter. If a formal investigation finds that a staff or faculty member has violated a University policy, or a student has acted contrary to the student code of conduct, they may be sanctioned, and both sides may appeal.
Although it has been 45 years since Title IX was enacted, each generation of employees must learn how to implement the law – and how the law makes Pitt a better environment for everyone to learn and work. A new video explaining employee reporting responsibilities under Title IX is available on the Title IX website.
Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program
During the retreat, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion also awarded its first Diversity and Inclusion Certificates to the inaugural group of staff and faculty graduating from the new program.
Participants complete the program's two required and four elective workshops, offered through the Faculty and Staff Development Program, at their own pace, after which they take part in a capstone conversation led by a staff member from the diversity and inclusion office. Course registration is available by visiting the Faculty and Staff Development Program page on the Office of Human Resource's website.

Literature Circles
What are Literature Circles?
A literature circle is a group of 3-5 students who gather together to discuss a book they are reading. In these small groups students help each other make personal connections to the book. Each group meets for approximately 30 minutes once a week. What is discussed at each meeting depends on the group members' individual interests or feelings about the literature. Each group member has one role that he/she must fulfill at each meeting.
Here is a list of literature circle roles for discussion:
Discussion Director
The Director develops a list of 4 open-ended questions and answers. He/she discusses (1 at a time) the questions only, focusing on main ideas from the reading and the student's reactions to the book. The director asks each member to give his/her response to the question before he/she shares his/her own responses.
Think of these starters for your questions: Why…, If…, What…, Who…, and How…
The Connector communicates in writing 4 connections between the book the group is reading and the outside world. Some suggestions:
Personal Connection: What aspect of this book has a connection with your own experience or personality?
Spiritual/Ethical connection: What are the criteria for good and evil as presented in this book? or How does this book portray God?
Historical Connection: Contrast the experience of living during the time period of this novel with living in contemporary culture. Consider government, values, daily life, and/or technologies.
Technological Connection: Explain one of the technologies that is important to this story, and how the technology works.
Biographical Connection: What experiences in the author's life influenced him/her to write on this subject?
Literary Connection: What other pieces of literature can you connect this novel to? Are there movies you can make a connection with? If this novel was turned into a movie, how would you compare it so far?
Passage Reporter
The Passage Reporter selects 4 special passages. It is your job to read aloud parts of the story to your group in order to help your group members remember some interesting, powerful, puzzling, or important sections of the text. You decide which passages or paragraphs are worth reading aloud, and justify your reasons for selecting them. Some reasons for choosing passages to share might include:
* Pivotal events * Informative * Descriptive * Surprising * Scary *
* Thought-provoking * Funny * Controversial * Confusing * Personally meaningful *
The passage reporter leads the discussion of the special paragraphs and asks each member to give his/her reactions to the passage before the passage reporter shares his/her responses. So that each group member may follow along as you read the passages aloud, please be sure to write down the page number for each passage.
The Artist
The Artist's job is to share an artistic representation of the material you read for the week. The Artist's job is to create an illustration (8x10 colored picture) related to the reading for the week. You must write two (2) paragraphs on the reverse side of your picture: One that describes the scene you've chosen, and a second paragraph that explains the reasons why you chose this particular scene. Here are some suggestions.
Choose one:
Then the illustrator shows the picture without comments to the group. Each member speculates what the picture represents. After the group shares, the illustrator gets the last word and shares what the picture means to him/her.

The Association of Lutheran Church Musicians nurtures and equips musicians to serve and lead the church's song.
This summer from July 10-13, Lutheran church musicians and pastors from around the United States and Canada (and a few from Europe and New Zealand) will meet in Minneapolis to examine and re-imagine the role of the cantor, the leader of the church's song. These four days will be full: with plenaries led by Mary Louise Bringle, Chad Fothergill, and Dan Schwandt; with workshops that both hone our existing skills and invite us to take up new ones; with "road trips" to St. Olaf College and St. John's Abbey; and with worship that both nourishes our spirits and gives voice to our faith. You do not need to be a member of ALCM to attend. Join us!

While we're all waiting for the clock to strike midnight and welcome in a brand new year, I thought it would be fun to look back on some of my favourite posts of 2014 and also sneak in a few pictures that didn't make it on the blog…
In January I made this gorgeous blood orange drizzle cake.
This is definitely a recipe to make again when beautiful blood oranges come into season.
In February I met James Morton at the Eden Court Theatre in Inverness. He is a lovely guy and was kind enough to give me some of his 9 year old sourdough!
And here is James (well what else could I have called him?) still alive and kicking…
James was fairly busy day throughout the year….
Sourdough English muffins
Sourdough Pizza
Sourdough Loaves
In March I was very excited to interview Ruth Clemens, finalist on The Great British Bake off series one. I also got to review her new Éclairs book and made her delicious white chocolate and raspberry éclairs!
In April I found an amazing white chocolate, cranberry and orange hot cross bun recipe. I think I might be a little obsessed with orange…
In May Sugar and Crumbs sent me some baking goodies to test out. Their cherry bakewell icing sugar and coconut cocoa powder was awesome.
This coconut chocolate loaf cake went down a storm at work.
These mini Malteser Cheesecakes were very popular on the blog in June.
I spent July and August making loads of bread…
Cherry tomato and thyme focaccia
In August I met the lovely Victor and Carina Contini at the Nairn food festival…and I was very lucky to win a copy of their kitchen garden book and a voucher for lunch at their Scottish cafe and restaurant which is located in the Scottish National Gallery. I haven't had the chance to visit yet,but soon!!
In September I went to the first Inverness Let's Bake meeting at the cafe and bicycle shop Velocity. I met some lovely lassies including Susan of Mess in the Ness and Kirsty of Ever so Sweet. We had a lovely evening chatting and eating all the lovely baking everyone had brought along!
In October I mostly baked from Ruby Tandoh's gorgeous book "Crumb" – my favourite baking book of the year.
Apple and fig upside down cake
Orange Bourbons
November was chilli month. I ate a lot of smoky chipotle chilli.
In December there was a lot of cookie making in my kitchen…
Wishing all my readers a very happy New Year, I hope 2015 brings you happiness, health and good times!
Thank you all for taking the time to read my blog, leave a comment, or try my recipes. I appreciate each and every one of you.
See you in the New Year and happy cooking in 2015!
A look back at 2014…
