Original recipe from: Jamie's Comfort Food – Jamie Oliver, published by Michael Joseph, 2014
One early evening, fed up with cooking yet another meal the kids didn't like, I decided to do something different. I handed a couple of cookbooks to the two of them and asked them to choose a few meals they thought they'd like. This is the first recipe they chose. Perhaps not surprising, as I don't know any child who doesn't like a good old-fashioned sausage roll, that ultimate party-food stand-by. Jamie Oliver does something special with this version – a jumbo roll that has lots of flavour. Good hot for dinner or cold for lunch. And also a hit with the grown-ups.
Time: About 1 to 1.5 hours: 20 – 50 mins prep depending how long you spend chopping the veg into small pieces; 40 mins in the oven. The prep you can do earlier in the day, or even the day before. Or you can cook the whole thing and stick it in the fridge for the next day.
Cost of ingredients: ££
Faff-factor: 3/5
Special equipment: A food processor – not essential but makes it a lot easier and also helps to chop the veg up nice and small (important if you have fussy eaters who don't like bits).
How did the kids rate it: 5/10, 6/10 and 9/10 (my two kids plus a friend over for tea – guess which ratings belong to my children!)
The recipe says this serves eight but my husband had at least three servings and my son had two. I managed to rescue one piece to save overnight in the fridge to see what it tastes like cold for a picnic lunch.
Buying the ingredients.
First up, I decided to cheat. Rather than make my own rough puff pastry, I bought the ready-made chilled stuff – this is how I Jus'Rol (I know, no one found this funny at all, but I amused myself). Even Delia says the ready-made stuff is as good as the pastry you make at home, and I'm not about to argue with our Deel. Fact is, it's less faff. And as we all know, less faff = good.
Second issue, the butcher was closed so I went to get the pork shoulder from the meat counter of my local supermarket. I asked if they could mince the meat for me (as per Jamie's suggestion) and I was told "Sorry no, we're only allowed to mince beef". Some edit from Brussels? If anyone can shed some light on this let me know. So I bought the ready-minced pork from the chilled shelf. Not really sure if it was shoulder or not but it was minced pork and that was good enough for me. However, I felt like I was already setting myself up for failure, and giving my children ammunition to not like it before I'd even made it (Mum, you should have followed the recipe!").
Following the recipe
This was easy enough. However, I was slightly worried about some of the measurements. The recipe asked for 1/2 a bunch of sage (15 g) but then you're only meant to chop up the leaves. So is it 15g of leaves or is 15g the pre-plucking weight? In the end, I settled for half of the amount – 7g of leaves and crossed my fingers. Remember I didn't want to give my children anything to complain about ("Mum, this tastes too…. sage-y!").
Similarly, the recipe calls for a glug of olive oil. What is a glug precisely? Is it something to do with the sound the oil makes as it comes out of the bottle? I ended up thinking I'd put in too much so tried to pour some of it down the sink before I remembered you're not really meant to do that.
Also, a pinch of salt? Whenever I see cookery programmes and the chef says he's going to throw in a pinch of salt, he always grabs a massive handful and throws it about. Is that a pinch? Or is this just for dramatic effect? When I tasted the sausage meat later, I realised that maybe I had been too frugal on the salt – so maybe two of my standard pinches but nowhere near a handful.
When it came to adding the cheese, I did hesitate. My son, being a known cheese-hater, will spend hours picking the smallest speck of cheese off his pizza. However, this was the recipe he asked for, so this was the recipe he was going to get.
And lastly, sprinkling sesame seeds onto the pastry from "a height". Well, this raised a titter. Knowing how fussy my two are I decided to do half with sesame seeds and half without though trying to be that careful when standing on a bar stool is quite difficult. Then into the oven for 40 minutes which gave me enough time to clear up because by then I looked like this:
The verdict
"Is that cheese?" were the very first words out of my son's mouth when I served up his slice. I managed to divert his attention by pointing out the lovely pastry. My children had a friend over – so as three hungry children sat down to eat for a moment there were some happy faces with all three saying it tasted good.
The overall verdict was good – my daughter's friend gave it a 9/10 so is definitely welcome at our dinner table any time. Both my children asked for less bits next time i.e. no apple, no cheese. "You know, Mum, like a normal sausage roll".
No special ingredients here, apart from the fresh nutmeg. I did wonder if it would actually matter if I used the pre-ground stuff but for this recipe I went the whole hog (pardon the pun). I didn't buy pork shoulder from the butcher and I didn't make my own pastry (which would have been cheaper).
Minced pork: £4.19 for 500g

British producer Naughty Boy has denied he is making music with Zayn Malik following the singer's departure from One Direction, insisting he is merely supporting the troubled pop star in his time of need.
Malik quit the group last month (Mar15) in a bid to live like a "normal 22 year old", but he was later spotted entering a recording studio, sparking reports he is teaming up with the writer/producer for a solo release.
Naughty Boy, real name Shahid Khan, later riled Malik's ex-bandmate Louis Tomlinson in an online spat, but he has now spoken out to insist he has not been recording with the former One Direction star.
The producer tells Britain's Heat magazine, "I've been (Zayn's) friend. He needs one. Just because we were seen at my studio - you (don't) necessarily just make music. People seem to forget that he's under so much stress. Which is why he left the tour. There's a lot going on. People get caught up - what he has done is to be normal.
"Sometimes being normal is to try and sort things out with your fiancee or hang around with a friend. That is normal. There seems to be some needless provoking going on. (Tomlinson) was deliberately adding to the provoking. I don't think that's fair. Especially on Zayn, that's not fair. Right now, there needs to be calm. He could have said that to me privately. Doing it openly is another act of provocation that's not needed."

Cyclists and the public should rise up against government immunity for bicycle pathway accidents.
10/6/2009In the 70s and 80s, bicycle use increased significantly in California. Not only was there a desire to ride bicycles for pleasure, but more persons were riding bicycles in competitive sports, to work, and to recreational areas like the mountains and beaches. The increase in use demanded new laws and standards be developed and codified to protect bicyclists on the road. In light of the use of highways and streets by automobiles and trucks, there was concern that bicyclists would be subjected to serious injury or even death because of increased use of already congested roadway surfaces, and an inability of motorists to fully and completely comprehend and react to cyclist and bicycle riders.

You would expect that each addition to our riding areas be designed and built, maintained and cared for to reasonably prevent injury while we ride our bikes. But that has not been the case. Read why the Legislature needs to make a change immediately.
When the demand for new standards and designs arose, experts and individuals like John Forester, MS, PE devoted significant time and thought to cycling and roadway surface design for bicycles, and created a series of laws that were later adopted by the California legislature. The laws included well thought out recommendations associated with the location and use of bicycle pathways, the creation of bicycle trails, and road surface bicycle lanes. Their efforts were codified by the California Legislature in Streets and Highway Code section 890 through 894.
Since that time, there has been great and vast improvement in the facilities available for bicyclists and cyclists wanting to take a ride. Not only has there been an expansion of laws governing the operation of bicycle lanes, helmet safety and the creation of specialized locations for cyclists to ride, but there has also big been a great improvement in driver awareness of the operation of bicycles on our roads and streets.
However there remains one, very disturbing, anomaly. I anomaly created not by judges, as suggested by some writers, but by the Legislature when enacting certain governmental immunities. The legislature did not want mountain bikers to sue the government when riding on trails to unimproved areas that could not be reasonably maintained by a governmental agency. They adopted the following synopsis of words as their standard for governmental immunity:
A governmental entity is immune from liability for any defects (of any kind) on any unpaved road which is not a ...In a series of cases decided over the last ten years, the statute has been repeatedly interpreted to define pathway as any pathway or bikeway whether paved or not, that is going to an unimproved area, such as the beach, or parks. With immunity, governmental agencies will devote their resources to those conditions that may generate liability and ignore the repairs, design and maintenance of bike riding paths that can cause serious injury, as two recent clients found out when contacting our firm.
city street or highway or ... any trail used (to go to an unimproved area).
It is time for the legislature to act. A simple amendment would clear this law up and protect you, me and my child from injury and suffering. We are devoted to seeing this law change and hope you will write to your congressman or representative to see common sense restored. Otherwise, the next time you decide to ride on a bike path or the river trail to the beach, know that if the pathway gives out, crumbles under your wheel or develops a giant pothole that causes your crash, you will have no right to get compensated for your injuries and damages.

Bringing An Idea To Life
How do we take an idea and bring it to life?
Persistent action.
Let's not make it any more complicated than that.
We show up every day and surface the idea. At first, we may feel overwhelmed with doubt. But after committing to the work for some time, we'll have a break through. And then more doubt. And then another break through. Until we arrive at something we're proud of.
The key is to have faith that we'll solve any problem that arises. And to back that faith up by doing the work every day. Trust the process.

How do I Envision the City of the Future?
The city of the future will be designed for humans to live in comfort, health, peace, and prosperity for hundreds of years. In order to accomplish this reality, urban planners must focus on three primary issues:
1. Increasing Urban Population
2. Global Climate Change
3. Increasing Urban Inequality
Many of the world's cities are already taking steps to improve urban life and alleviate current challenges. Collectively these initiatives will help form the city of the future and as we gain greater access to data within our cities, we will be able to make more informed decisions regarding what changes need to be made.

Responses (3)
Hello AddisMiMi, & welcome to the site. Personal opinion only here as I am not a doctor, but if the SCS is not helping your condition, & you have had several operations to keep the leads etc.. in place, I would opt to have it removed. They have wanted me to try this for my back, but 3 neurosurgeons have said it won't help. Hearing your story confirms my confiction NOT to have one implanted...
Thanks for responding! The SCS did help for quite awhile. After every non-invasive procedure, it the best move for me. My latest surgery was to replace my older model and to cut out a piece of the spine & screw it into the inside of the vertebrae next to the spinal cord. I believe my RSD has progressed to the point that it doesn't have the effect that it did. Additionally, I have fallen twice recently causing 2 thoracic compression fractures & a broken humerous. Obviously, I haven't been the most gentle with it! Haha Have you already had the trial SCS? That's how I realized it worked for me.
No, I haven't, but have had two failed back surgeries at a very young age. I am a senior now & have many other problems to deal with. I have a huge cyst in my spinal canal & am afraid to let anyone near it. Several specialists all over the country wouldn't touch my back with a 10 foot pole! So an anestesiologist sure isn't going to! 3 neurosurgeons sad it wouldn't help me, so won't be gettng one put in even for a trial. I want the pain to go away, not trade it for a buzzng or different feeling. Would rather just numb it the best we can & deal with it Have been dealing with it for amost 45 years now. I have a TENS unit, & the SCS is somewhat similar & I hate the TENS unit. I have fibromyalgia too, so anything that isn't normal feeling is very irritating to me. I can't stand to even touch my own skin at times. I wish you all the luck in the world tho'... Mary
Have you tried nerve blocks? Just a thought. Why are you spending money and having more agony from these surgeries and it doesn't work? I'd remove the implant and try something else--- have you tried Gabapentin? I feel so much for you. Most of my hand turned black and my fingers flopped all over the place. Maybe reducing the stress from the implant issue will help you a little bit.
Thanks for your response. As I told Mary, the SCS did work very well for some time and I've continued to hope that it would. Gabapentin does nothing for me, unfortunately. It was one of the 1st medications I was on. Also, I'll be consulting with my pain doc, neurosurgeon & the SCS rep next week. I would love to lower my stress factor!!!
Lowering your stress isn't going to happen until you choose a treatment, and you start it.
For the surgeon and surgery--is anybody telling you that if you have the surgery, you get relief for maybe 2 years, and you go through this again, and again? Mine was caused by surgery. The first thing they did was give me pain meds, the second thing they did was offer surgery. I told them that surgeons caused this, why should I trust them and repeat what caused the pain. So, I'm asking you again-has anybody mentioned nerve blocks? If you can get a nerve block early on before they start butchering you, it really has a chance to work well-- .
I've had RSD for over 8 years & I do consider myself fairly well informed. I have chosen my treatment(s), however, as a fellow sufferer of RSD, you must realize that it's not always going to work and some patience & flexibility is required. Yes, I've always known the possible risks vs. the benefits of surgery & invasive procedures. Nerve blocks gave me relief for a day or two, nothing more. I've tried every possible non-invasive therapy & procedure available more than once. I honestly appreciate your advice. That said, respectfully, I do not feel that I've been "butchered". Your tone seems to imply that I may be clueless & easily misled when all I was asking for was someone with experience with removing their SCS. I hope I'm misunderstanding that.
I'm sorry, I should have read your question again before I answered. The word- butcher doesn't have any bearing on you, but for my feelings about surgeons, and my experiences with them. I just had 2 physical exams-and 2 different doctors used the word butchers. I know that surgeons help many people, but I haven't been one of them. The only 2 surgeries that I've had that didn't leave me with damaging after effects was my tonsils and hysterectomy. I do wish you the best, and I'm not insulted by what you said. I do know that your stress level will go down, when you choose a course of action. While I had excellent results, I always have the fear that the pain will come back-and I'm especially scared of doctors. I won't even have a mammogram, because pressure on my breast starts causing pain. I do understand your frustration, and again, I'm sorry.
Thats about the time I had mine implanted as well. It got to point, like I was sticking my finger into a light socket!!! I had to have a total of 4 more surgeries on mine as well. All it did for me is set arthritis in my back and hip. Alot of days I can't hardly walk. I try not to use a cane. I did all the time after I had my first implant and got addicted to it. I finally, broke myself from using it unless, I absolutely have too. Its getting to where I'm having to use it again. I'm not sorry that they removed all the parts from the stimulator though :)

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders left a campaign event in Seattle without giving his speech Saturday after "Black Lives Matter" activists took over the podium, NBC News reported.
Two women approached the podium just as Sanders began addressing the crowd of several thousand, and demanded the microphone. Sanders stepped aside, and one woman got into an argument with an organizer, shouting "We are angry!"
After being given the microphone, and after the crowd booed, one of the women said, "I was going to tell Bernie how racist this city is ... but you already did it for me."
It is the second time in a month that activists protesting racial inequality have interrupted an event featuring the progressive candidate.

Army set to crack down on cyber bullying. | Army Times
"Cyber bullying among service members is getting out of hand, and Army leaders are calling on soldiers to straighten up — or face some career-ending consequences.
In an All-Army Activities message issued Monday, the service reminded soldiers about maintaining a professional presence on and off line.
"Harassment, bullying, hazing, stalking, discrimination, retaliation and any other type of misconduct that undermines dignity and respect are not consistent with Army values and negatively impact command climate and readiness," said Paul Prince, an Army spokesman, in response to an Army Times request regarding the ALARACT message. "Soldiers or civilian employees who participate in or condone misconduct, whether offline or online, may be subject to criminal, disciplinary and/or administrative action.
"Troops who see or experience online misconduct should "promptly" report it to their chain of command or supervisor, Prince said. Misconduct also can be reported through Family Support Services, Equal Opportunity, Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention, the inspector general and Army law enforcement, he said.
Online-related incidents…"

As global populations migrate towards cities, the need for new infrastructure has become more urgent. Oil and commodity producing countries, such as Brazil, Colombia and Peru, as well as Gulf Cooperation Council countries like Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are looking to build new roads, railways, ports, water, and power facilities as part of broader strategies for driving economic growth in non-oil sectors. At the same time, US President Donald Trump swept to power promising to spend $1 trillion on new bridges, roads, tunnels, sewers, water systems and dams to stimulate economic growth and employment — and rejuvenate creaking infrastructure.
According to the McKinsey Global Institute, from 2015 to 2030, global demand for new infrastructure could amount to more than $90 trillion. But who is going to fund these new projects? Low oil prices have left the aforementioned Latin American and GCC countries with depleted government coffers. And the US Congress is unlikely to support the hefty increases in federal spending required to fully fund President Trump's ambitious infrastructure plans. This can already be seen with talk of federal funding cuts for mass transit projects in Silicon Valley and the new Hudson River tunnel.
The Trump administration also proposes scrapping the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant program, which many cities and towns across America rely on to fund housing, education and other public infrastructure. This creates a funding gap that must be addressed.
McKinsey estimates that $7.7 trillion will need to be found annually for the next 15 years to pay for additional global infrastructure needs. With the public sector unable or unwilling to shoulder total financial responsibility for all of this much-needed infrastructure investment, due to budgetary constraints and other considerations, some of the financial risk and burden is likely to shift to the private sector.
A recent study by the Brookings Institution in the U.S. found that Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) are "integral to the overall capital investment and infrastructure strategy of the nation." However, P3s are still a relatively small component of overall infrastructure investment, and are not as well established as other forms of infrastructure development.
Most public infrastructure in the US is financed either in the form of government appropriation — which does not include a mark-up for risk in the case of a default or cost overrun — or municipal bonds, which offer low rates of interest and are subsidized through tax exemptions. According to the Brookings Institution, from 1985 to 2011, there were just 377 P3s in the US, which constituted a mere 9% of total infrastructure P3 nominal costs around the world.
P3s, wherein private investors finance and build public infrastructure in exchange for a relatively decent inflation-linked return on their investment, are gaining in popularity. Greater private-sector investment in public roads, bridges and railways — among other projects — is likely to be welcomed by lenders and/or the financial markets. Private investors have more to lose if a project fails or goes over budget, as they have more "skin in the game." They often bring greater cost discipline to a project than the public sector and are less inclined to invest in "pet projects" that curry favor with the voting public and require a disciplined approach during construction.
Other benefits of P3s include: committed financing during the construction period — and frequently during the bid phase of projects; the inclusion of experienced Project Finance banks, who will carefully consider the feasibility of a project and help develop a financing structure that works. This is in addition to providing financing for such projects using their balance sheets and via capital markets. Private investors can also help when it comes to dealing with construction, regulatory issues and managing the entire group of lenders to a project.
In general, private investment can bring greater investment rigor and scrutiny to infrastructure projects. Depending on how the partnership is structured, the private sector takes on part or all of the commercial/market risk of a project. However, that does not mean that the government loses control or ownership over the project and its assets. But in contrast to many tax-exempted financing structures, it protects the users from unexpected toll increases, as the rate mechanism is typically inflation indexed for P3s, whereas tax-exempted transactions have a rate covenant, which can force a substantial increase in tolls when needed. At the same time, private investment generates taxable income, whereas the municipal market offers tax subsidies.
The commonly-held assumption is that infrastructure projects with a high level of financial involvement from governments are more likely to appeal to private investors. While this helps mitigate demand risk (i.e. revenue risk) and development risk, it can also create political and regulatory risk. Investors may, in fact, prefer to invest in projects that are less regulated, or where government involvement is not overbearing.
However, there still needs to be a determination that the private sector can build the project and run it at a lower all-in long-term cost than the state could, or at least deliver the project faster than a Public procurement. Private investors may have more "skin in the game" (equity risk), which is a strong incentive, but that doesn't guarantee high quality, efficient infrastructure development that benefits the public.
Governments should not assume that P3s will save the public money without proper structuring. After all, private investors are in it to make a profit. And although average cost overruns for P3 schemes are below that of "traditionally procured" projects, to help mitigate against any unanticipated delays, events, cost overruns or unplanned risks, a clear contractual framework with the appropriate protocols needs to be put in place before a project begins.

Defective Pesticides & Spray Drift Crop Damage
Humans have been using pesticides to protect their crops for approximately 3000 years. Since the World War II era, both the technology and use of pesticides have grown exponentially, so that today pesticide manufacturing comprises a multi-billion dollar industry and is responsible for much of the enhanced productivity of American agriculture. There are over five billion pounds of pesticides applied in the United States each year. Although pesticide use and technology have changed greatly, our society is still grappling with the same issues that challenged mankind's efforts to use of poison constructively for centuries that is balancing efficacy and safety. As always, the goal is to apply pesticides in such a manner that they eradicate unwanted insects, weeds and plant disease without harming the target crop, off-target crops, or humans who are exposed to pesticides either through application, off-target drift or residues remaining on the target crops.
Defective Pesticides and Pesticide Spray Drift – Urgency
If you have suffered injury or loss related to pesticide drift or defective pesticides, it is critical to contact the proper regulatory authorities in a timely fashion. In Arkansas, this includes the Arkansas State Plant Board, which has primary regulatory authority over pesticide applications. In some instances, where the harm is to plants or crops, it may be advisable to contact your local county agent with the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service. If you have suffered an acute exposure to pesticides, you should consult a physician and the Arkansas Poison and Drug Information Center.
If you have suffered considerable injuries, it may be advisable to conduct an independent investigation separate from the investigation conducted by the State Plant Board. Time is of the essence in conducting such investigations, since hard evidence of pesticide exposure and drift patterns may be fleeting. Regardless, it is important to take note that the Plant Board is not authorized to take action on your behalf to recover any monetary compensation for damages you may have suffered. In addition, the State Plant Board's focus is whether there was an illegal or improper application of the pesticide. The Plant Board does not document the extent of the damages you have suffered. Therefore, it is important that you document the extent of your injuries independently.
If you have suffered significant injuries, it is critical to choose an attorney with the requisite experience in this area. Pesticide litigation can be complex, requiring familiarity with the relevant federal and state agencies, knowledge of the myriad state and federal regulations applicable to pesticides, expertise with the relevant technical sciences, and quick access to qualified experts to investigate and document injuries.
McMath Woods Experience with Defective Pesticides
Our firm has significant experience in all aspects of pesticide litigation. We have represented farmers whose crops have been damaged, destroyed or rendered unmarketable by off-target drift as well as farmers whose crops have been injured by defectively designed or manufactured pesticides that the farmers intentionally applied to their crops. We also have represented individuals who have suffered illnesses, adverse health reactions or other personal injuries from exposure to pesticides and other chemicals and homeowners who have lost gardens, trees and landscaping to pesticide drift. In a crowded world, the inherent nature of pesticides being what they are, there are inevitably failures in the system that will turn a neighbor into a victim. While there are benefits to pesticides, it is necessary that they be used, marketed and applied responsibly, and where they are not, important that those harmed are properly compensated. Too many people think that such collateral damage is not avoidable and are inclined to accept the loss. This can perpetuate a destructive process that no one should endorse.

They are simple to make and delicious! All you will need is:
1 bag of white chocolate chips
1 bag of plain M&M's
2 bags of popped microwave popcorn*
Optional colored sprinkles to add color
Put popped popcorn in a large bowl (try to keep the un-popped kernels out).
Melt the white chocolate. Carefully stir into the popcorn (take caution to not break the popcorn). Add the M&M's and continue to mix gently. Optional: add sprinkles and gently mix.
Many of the M&M's will fall to the bottom of the bowl so make sure you get a variety if you choose to package them. I added this little tag since I was giving them to teachers who work in a peanut-free school.
*I have a small theater style popcorn machine so I'm not sure exactly how much I use but the recipe I originally found on this required 2 bags of popped microwave popcorn.
|Use the twist tie too so they can close the bag in-between snacks.
|Don't be afraid to experiment - Candy corn is a great replacement for M&M's!
I have made them for Christmas, Valentines, Easter, Birthdays - you could make them for baby showers too!

The BBC is the world's most famous and powerful cultural institution and remains the model for public broadcasters around the globe.
Based on the most extensive independent research ever conducted inside the BBC, Uncertain Vision concentrates on the corporation during the later 1990s, the last years of the regime of the former director-general John Birt. Blending reportage and cultural history, it offers both a panorama of the BBC's history and an intimate portrait of the people that make it up - producers, directors, editors, accountants, and managers - and addresses the tumultuous recent events at the BBC and looks to the future: to the new challenges of satellite and digital broadcasting; to the aftermath of the Hutton Inquiry; and to what might lie ahead for the new chairman and director-general.
Uncertain Vision is an engrossing, controversial, and definitive account of the greatest broadcasting organisation in the world at the most fascinating period its history.

Above and beyond the bar
It's the first of the month. For some reason, I always feel renewed and refreshed at the start of each new month. It's another opportunity for me to re-evaluate and correct mistakes. It's like having a mini New Year's Day twelve times a year. I guess I should explain a bit more, eh?
I'm pretty good at starting things, but I can practically almost never complete them. Monthly exercise challenges, craft projects, blog series (other than Monday Musings), just to name a few. It seems like the only things I can finish are books, movies, and television shows on Netflix. So I'm chalking up my lack of finishing things to complacency. I've realized over the past month that I have been so complacent. Too comfortable with what's going on and where I'm at in life. I practically lost my drive and eagerness for moving forward in life since I graduated college in May. But gosh darn it, I'm getting it back. I really have no other option at this point.
My revelation came about after joining a small group at church and reading both The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso. *Disclaimer: If you have not read either of these books, I demand you read them by the end of this week.*
These books seem like they should be on opposite ends of the spectrum -- one detailing the last few months of a man's life and the other highlighting an ambitious woman's passions and rise to fashion industry success. In all actuality, they're pretty close in what they stand for. Each book highlights achieving dreams through persistence, preparedness, and productiveness.
In order for me to crawl out of this ditch of self-pity, I've got to do more to be better prepared, more productive, and insanely persistent. I have to be "hungry". Not physically hungry, but the metaphorical hungry. I have to want more for myself! I mean, I have to help myself in order for others to help me! So, if I really, truly want to be in a graduate program this Fall, I have to bust my butt over the next three weeks studying and putting together two application packets. If I really want to move out of my parents home and into a decent apartment by August, I have to stop purchasing clothes, shoes, food, and trinkets anytime I have a few dollars in my pocket. If I want to look good in one of those tiny Victoria Secret swimsuits when I head down to Mexico later this year, I have to start exercising more than just a few continuous days each of the month. If I want my skin to actually stay clear, I've got to take my medications as prescribed. If I want better job, I have to be a bad ass at the current job I have. If I want this blog to actually be of some value to more than just myself, I have to nourish it and decide it is of some value to others.
You're getting what I'm saying, right?
In order for me to achieve anything that I'm actually interested in, I have to first, be hungry enough and then take positive steps for to tackle each task along the way. I've got to set the bar high and I have to be dedicated to going above and beyond.
Everything I just said above is why I truly enjoy the beginning of each month. I have another opportunity to get things right this time. I have the opportunity to go above and beyond the bar.

The following applications were heard at the March 23 meeting of the Yates County Planning Board.
‒ Walnut Penn Yan LLC, at 200 Walnut Street, received approval of a new Site Plan Review for their project that includes the addition of a two-story townhome with eight units and renovation of existing units with 6 fully handicapped-accessable units, the addition of a common room, and a playground. The new site plan review was for the addition of a retention pond to control runoff onto Collins Ave., and for the relocation of the planned playground nearer the patio of the common room.
‒ YMCA of Greater Rochester (Camp Cory), at 140 Rte. 54 E. Lake Road, received approval for a Special Use Permit to allow the construction of a new restroom building near the Junior Boathouse. The boys and girls restrooms will each have three toilets and three sinks, plus one each in a unisex family restroom, using approximately 300 gallons per day when the camp is in use.
‒ Stephen Weaver, at 3216 Rte. 364, request for a Special Use Permit to operate a kennel in an existing building with a maximum of 15 adult dogs, was tabled because Weaver did not appear to answer questions from the YCPB. His application will be added to next month's agenda.
‒ Jacob Provost, at 3077 Havens Corners Roadd, received approval for a Special Use Permit, to sell used cars and display a maximum of five vehicles along Havens Corners Road, off the right of way.
‒ The Village of Rushville, at 6 Warehouse Road, was approved for their Waste Water Treatment Plan improvement project in Ontario County within 500′ of the Yates County border. Rushville Mayor and YCPB representative John Sawers explained this was for a new wastewater pond to be built next to the existing pond, which Sawers says has breached. Once the new pond is ready, the older pond will be emptied, rebuilt, and returned to use.
‒ Town of Starkey applicant, Gene Pierce, of Glenora Wine Cellars, at 5435 Rte. 14, was denied approval for a Special Use Permit, to replace an existing sign in front of the winery with a new sign larger than the 36 sq. ft. town code allows. The new sign would be 12′ tall and far larger than the code limit. It was found to have an intermunicipal impact because of other businesses on Rte. 14 that might then apply for large signs along the highway. The YCPB also questioned why an area variance application was not submitted by the town. The Starkey Planning Board may approve the sign by a supermajority vote.

VMware is adding storage integration features to their flagship vSphere server virtualization product line at a rapid pace. From backup to enterprise array offload, VMware is staking their claim. But information about one new storage feature in vSphere 5 has been scarce: The true nature of the Storage API for Storage Awareness (VASA) is only just beginning to be revealed.
A Complete List of VMware VAAI Primitives
VMware's introduced the "vStorage APIs for Array Integration†(VAAI) in vSphere 4.1, and block-heads like me went nuts. We've been trying to integrate storage and servers for decades, and VMware's APIs finally allowed this to work in truly seamless fashion. But the world of VAAI is a thicket of bizarre naming and puzzling functionality. Some VAAI primitives are ignored or even hidden! Let's take a look at the complete list.
FalconStor Brings VAAI Support To Every Storage Array
I do not necessarily endorse or recommend FalconStor NSS over competing products from more familiar names, but I commend them for adding VAAI support. There the first small vendor to do so, and their software virtualization platform spreads the availability of this important software capability.
Iomega Introduces the StorCenter px12-350r
Iomega surprised exactly no one by announcing an updated 12-drive rack mount storage array today. Featuring "Cloud Edition" software introduced earlier this year, the px12-350r also sports mildly updated hardware specs, though still relies on Intel's "Core2 Duo" CPUs and Gigabit Ethernet. The new device slots in between the desktop px4/px6 line and parent EMC's new VNXe storage devices.
Seminar: Storage for Virtual Environments, Cleveland OH
The next date in my Storage for Virtual Environments seminar series is rapidly approaching, and I hope to see my Ohio readers there! I've made major changes to the seminar content recently, updating it with vSphere 5 news and rearranging the whole thing. I still feel like there's not enough time to get to everything, but it's a start!
Storage Changes in VMware vSphere 5
Once again, VMware added a ton of new storage enhancements to vSphere. With storage rapidly becoming the limiting factor in scalability and performance of virtual machine environments, this is no surprise. Also not surprising is the fact that major features like Policy-Driven Storage and Storage DRS (along with SIOC) are exclusive to "Enterprise Plus" licenses.
IBM Adds VAAI Support to XIV and SVC
VMware's vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI) is one of the most-important storage technology advances of the decade, allowing the ESX to integrate and coordinate operations with supported enterprise storage arrays. IBM was notably absent from the party, but they've turned on the VAAI heat, releasing full support for the XIV and SVC and promising DS8000 in the near future.

We were given a bag and a map of where the different kinds of apples were in the orchard. Let me preface this by saying I have never actually liked apples that much. I like them in things, but I don't really like them by themselves. They just kind of seem like a plain fruit to me. Why have an apple when there are more exciting and pretty fruits like strawberries, kiwis or blackberries? I think it's because I've never had the right apples.
My friend showed me the correct technique of pulling them from the branch. You put the "eye to the sky" and lightly twist it off the branch, and never tug on the branches. She then pulled one off the tree, bit into it and ate it. "You can do that?" I said. I picked one off the branch, bit into it and thus commenced a whole new apple experience. It was the sweetest, freshest, juiciest apple I had ever tasted. We ended up splitting a bag of apples --about a 1/2 bushel-- and I still came away with more apples than I know what to do with. Obviously my first inclination was to make apple butter:
I recently made my own applesauce and have been intrigued by the idea of apple butter. I suppose it's not really a sauce or a preserve, but more of a spread. The mixture is thickened by using apple cider instead of just sugar and spices as with apple sauce. The orchard we went to sold fresh apple cider, so I was sure to stock up on a jug. I still don't really know what to eat the apple butter with besides bread, but I now have seven jars of it to unload on people as early Christmas presents.
Apple Butter (recipe from Better Homes and Gardens Canning Magazine)4 1/2 pounds apples (about 15 medium)
(Makes approx. 6 half pint jars)
4 cups apple cider or apple juice
2 cups sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 cloves
Directions:1. Core and quarter the apples and leave the peels on.
2. Combine apples and cider in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer uncovered for 30-35 minutes.
3. Press apple mixture through a food mill and return 9 1/2 cups of mixture to the pot. (I didn't have a food mill, so I just mashed the apples with a potato masher and let cook for a little longer to thicken).
4. Stir in sugar, lemon juice and spices. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and cook on low for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours stirring often.I always find the recipes for canning easy to actually make with a long prep and cooking time. With cooking the apple butter plus heating up the canner and processing, the whole thing took a few hours. However, the beauty of canning is that a few hours leads to an entire bounty of jars that will last ages and make great gifts.
5. Ladle hot butter into sterilized jars and process in a canner.

Consumers preparing for Black Friday are arriving at stores far earlier this year than ever before; some customers have been camped out since last week.
LAist reported that one shopper said he and his friends had been waiting outside the Best Buy store in Riverside since last Wednesday, primarily to buy a 49-inch Toshiba TV, on sale for $150 on Thanksgiving.
Target and Macy's have announced they will open their stores at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving; Walmart will be open all day, but their sales will not begin until 6 p.m. Best Buy will beat the other stores to the punch, starting their sales at 5 p.m.
According to CBS Los Angeles, the line at the Best Buy in Riverside started last Tuesday. One customer said he purchases $6,000 to $7,000 worth of merchandise for others, accumulating Best Buy rewards points, which he uses to pay for Christmas gifts for his own family.
Although some people in line are customers, others act as placeholders for their friends.
Bed, Bath and Beyond and Marshalls will be closed on Thanksgiving; REI will close on Thanksgiving and Friday so employees can be with their families.

The Caribbean Island of Antigua and Barbuda is positioning itself to be one of the top destinations for Citizenship by Investment and gambling as well as a major hub for internet betting.
It has been announced very recently that the casino deal the government of Antigua has been working on with a Chinese firm has solidified and will change the landscape of the island paradise. The integrated resort and casino project, Antigua will be larger than the other huge casino project in the Bahamas. That one is also being built with Chinese backing. The $740.7m mixed-use tourism project was announced by the Prime Minister Gaston Browne who was recently put into office with a mandate to revitalize the economy of the island of low-lying limestone and coral islands. Citizenship By Investment Program will also act as a draw for future clients.
Looking closely at Antigua the introduction of tourist and gambling facilities is better than the alternative. Current environmental issues are preventing the country from following its agricultural activities for example. Water management is a major concern because of limited natural fresh water resources, is further hampered by the clearing of trees to increase crop production, causing rainfall to run off quickly causing erosion.
Meanwhile the newly sworn in Prime Minister Browne had this to say about the casino, five-star hotel, 1,300 residential units, a conference center, a 27-hole golf course, a marina and a commercial/retail/sports facility. The project will be built on Antigua's Guiana Island, the Crump Peninsula and a pair of smaller islands. He said he… "promised the people that my administration would bring the type of investments" that would transform Antigua into "an economic powerhouse." Attorney General Steadroy C.O. Benjamin said the project would boost local employment.
Antigua has been hit by a number of economic downturns in the past ten years so this is all welcome news.

Bonds are the most important investment class that hardly any retail investor owns directly. Yet bonds are easy to buy and should be the bedrock for anyone trying to build up a nest egg, as they will provide steady returns upon which the rest of your portfolio can be built. When investors buy bonds they instantly lower their risk, reduce the chance of losses and ease those sleepless nights by creating a more balanced portfolio.
Investors are putting only 14pc of their savings into bonds. That is much less than the recommended weighting of about 50pc allocation to bonds. Those who do get exposure to bonds are probably paying high fees for a fund that simply tracks the market.
Shockingly, investors still have more than half of their savings held in cash or on deposit, all being eroded by inflation, despite research showing that the risk of losses from holding investment-grade bonds for the long term is 1pc.
The reason bonds have such a powerful impact when added to a portfolio is because they have some important differences from shares. In effect, when an investor buys a corporate bond they are making a loan to the company that issues the bond. When that loan is made, the investor is guaranteed a regular income from the interest payments, or "coupon", on the bond. The companies issuing these bonds have strong balance sheets, greatly reducing the risk of default.
Unlike equities, bonds are excellent at preserving capital, making them the ideal place for people who need to make a payment at a certain time, such as a mortgage deposit, or who don't want to suffer losses, such as those approaching retirement. One of the most attractive elements for those already in retirement is that bonds provide a fixed income on a schedule that is either quarterly, semi-annually, or once a year.
All these points are made clear in an analysis of investment returns during the past 10 years – a period that has included one of the worst market crashes this century. Andrew Goldberg, global market strategist at JP Morgan Asset Management, said that looking across the 10-year period from 2003 to today, the worst year for investment-grade bonds was 2008, when they lost 5.1pc. That compares with equities that fell 26pc, commodities that dropped by 36pc and real estate investment trusts that slumped by 37pc.
Mr Goldberg went on to point out that investment-grade bonds then increased by 16.6pc in 2009, and returned an average of 5.5pc every year for the 10-year period in question.
Another piece of analysis, covering more than half a century between 1950 and 2013, showed that if bonds were held for a minimum of five years, then the maximum loss was 3pc, and if they were held for 10 years, then zero loss was suffered. The worst year in that period saw bonds suffer a 16pc loss.
When investors approach bonds, they first need a grasp of a few different terms from equity investing. The maturity date on a bond is the date on which the company will return the money to the investor at par. The coupon is the amount of interest paid to bondholders on a set date. The current yield, or income yield, is the coupon divided by the bond's current price in the market. The gross redemption yield is the return investors will get from holding the bond to maturity, first from the coupon, which is then adjusted depending on what price they have to pay for the bond in the market.
The example of Vodafone bonds easily demonstrates these terms. The FTSE 100-listed telecommunications group funds itself via bonds that are traded on the secondary market. The Vodafone 5.9pc November 26, 2032 bond (EV32), has a current price of 126.5 in the market, meaning it would cost £1,265 to buy.
The bonds will pay a coupon of 5.9pc, or £59, or an income yield of 4.7pc. In 19 years' time, Vodafone will pay back the holders of those bonds £1,000 – ie on November 26 in 2032 – so adjusting for that £265 loss over 19 years, the gross redemption yield is 3.9pc.
Rating agencies came under fire during the credit crisis for woefully underestimating the level of risk in mortgage-backed securities. But that was largely due to there being little or no history from which to grade these completely new financial creations.
When it comes to corporate bonds, there is a long history of data and the ratings are far more accurate. Again using the example of Vodafone, it is the group that issues the bonds and it currently has a Standard & Poor's rating of A-. Any bonds rated at or above BBB- are classified as investment-grade.
There is no such thing as a completely risk-free investment. And many investors are concerned that government intervention has created a bond bubble. However, the important point here is that the government bond market is different from the corporate bond market.
The main impact that government bond buying has had on the corporate bond market is to increase prices by lowering the wider interest rate environment. If that policy continues, bonds will make further gains. The Vodafone example can illustrate why investors don't face large losses from bonds.
Say you purchase the above bond at £1,265, and tomorrow interest rates rise to 4pc, and the bond falls to £1,000 and you lose £265, or 21pc. However, hold that bond for five years and you will receive income of £59 a year or £295 in total, cancelling out the loss.
Bond investors need to monitor interest rates carefully, as when they rise bond prices fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices rise.
Investors who want to buy bonds can easily do so either through their online trading account, by contacting their broker, or by contacting their financial adviser.
Retail bonds are easily bought and sold in minimum sizes of £1,000. Hundreds of different companies issue bonds, including banks, utilities and retailers. The safest approach would be to spread risk across several industries and different companies.
If investors are concerned about liquidity, then they should consider that the global bond market, at $100 trillion (£63 trillion) is twice the size of the world equity markets.
Investing in bonds is very simple once a few different terms have been mastered. Fundamentally, the bond market is driven by the same principles of risk and return as the equity market.

Taylor Swift has discovered a way to tune out the paparazzi when she's out and about in her adopted New York - she listens to Kendrick Lamar.
The Love Story singer wasn't prepared for the gang of snappers that would follow her around the Big Apple every time she left her home and admits she was more than a little startled by the constant interest, but then she found Lamar's track Backseat Freestyle and now she makes sure she has the tune in her headphones whenever there's photographers lurking outside her building.
She tells Rolling Stone magazine, "At first, I got really anxious every time I'd be about to open the car door. They'd (paparazzi) crowd around me and yell.
"Then one day I put my iPhone on shuffle and Backseat Freestyle came on. Something about Kendrick's voice and the beat made me feel safe. It was pretty much all I listened to that summer."
The song helped land Lamar the only male spot in Swift's star-studded new Bad Blood video, which debuted at the beginning of Sunday's (17May15) Billboard Music Awards and has gone on to break viewing records on video sharing website Vevo.

Effective school leadership is increasingly viewed as key to large-scale education reform and to improved educational outcomes (OECD, 2007). No school is turned around without a high-performing leader.
Our system needs quality leaders.
Teach To Lead equips teachers with the skills to successfully navigate the challenging transition from classroom teacher to school leader.
It thereby creates a pipeline of leaders exclusively for schools serving low socioeconomic communities.
Early and middle leadership roles are critical. International research has concluded that addressing low performance within each school is central to tackling educational disadvantage.
Teacher leaders can play an important role in this agenda (IPPR, 2012).
Our program aims to support you to:
Teach To Lead encompasses targeted workshops, the community of a peer cohort, and the personal support of a coach in order to develop leadership and management skills that drive student achievement.
Our first cohort of 16 Fellows commenced April 2016 and second cohort of 31 Fellows commenced January 2017. We currently partner with schools across Victoria, the Northern Territory, Tasmania, Western Australia, New South Wales and South Australia.
100% of Fellows believe that face-to-face sessions improved their performance as a leader
By the mid-point of the program, 75% of colleagues surveyed found that Fellows had improved their teaching practices and 70% found that working with Fellows had improved their leadership practices.
Throughout the two-year program, you will learn how to:
You will apply your learning on-the-job. The Teach To Lead Leadership Competency Framework ensures you master the specific skills and behaviours that are most likely to improve student outcomes.
"Teach To Lead has been a joy to take part in. I've found the quality of the course to be world class, whether it be the presenters or coaches, or their materials and frameworks.
The Leadership Competency Framework at the program core has been a particular highlight and has given me a much deeper understanding of what it takes to be a highly effective school leader, within myself and when working with others.
And, it has been invigorating working with other participants who are so dedicated and passionate about education in Australia and throughout the world."- 2016 Fellow
"I have loved the program and feel it has completely changed my approach to teaching and leading. It has connected me with incredible, like-minded people and I believe it has empowered me to actually implement the changes I want to see in my school and beyond" – 2016 Fellow
Over the course of the program, participants will engage in a variety of activities aimed to enhance learning, establish networks and implement effective change related to the specific context of their own school.
The Teach To Lead program encompasses the following components:
Twelve days of highly interactive workshops are spread across the program's first year. These sessions occur largely during school holidays and will give you an opportunity to build strong connections with the rest of your cohort. They also include time for personal reflection.
100% of participants who have attended our workshops in 2016 would recommend them to others in their role.
"The first Teach To Lead sessions exceeded my expectations. Although I know I will have challenges this term and a large workload for the rest of the year, I feel much more equipped to be an effective leader." – 2016 Fellow
Full program dates for the 2018 and 2019 cohort are available here.
The Impact Initiative ensures the skills and concepts you build through the program are put into practice – with measurable results. Each participant designs and implements a project with the aim of raising student achievement.
The Impact Initiative also sets goals for developing yourself and your team, in support of your overarching goals for students. You will receive regular feedback on your Impact Initiative from your coach and peers.
"How lucky I am to have the opportunity to hear from Science leaders who are facing the same issues and have worked really hard to solve them. We are saving years of work by sharing our Impact Initiatives." – 2016 Fellow
Throughout the program, you will have a Leadership Coach who will support and guide you to set and achieve your goals. You will regularly meet with your Leadership Coach to discuss your Impact Initiative, your personal leadership development and general challenges and opportunities in your current leadership role.
"Incredibly high quality face to face sessions as well as the ongoing coaching support has shown far greater changes in my behaviour than any other program I have been involved in." – 2016 Fellow
By participating in Teach To Lead, you will join a network of high-performing leaders, who will challenge and inspire one another. These networks will be life-long.
Teach To Lead will foster continued connections and leadership opportunities beyond the two year program. Our aim is for you to continue to increase your impact on students throughout your career.
You will also be invited to further hone your leadership skills as an alumnus, through continued engagement with the Teach To Lead program. This could come in several ways, such as:
100% of respondents noted Teach To Lead has improved their leadership performance more than any other activity.
Schools are asked to make a contribution of $1500 excluding GST to total program costs, as well as fund some time release (up to 4 days total).
Release time will be used for face to face learning sessions, as well as coordinated school visits and opportunities for shadowing other leaders. Wherever possible, face-to-face learning sessions will be held during school holidays or on Saturdays.

Stefan Verhaegh (1976) is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Twente, School of Management and Governance,, at the STePS department. He is a member of the research cluster Users of Science and Technology at the Centre for Studies of Science, Technology and Society at the University of Twente. Verhaegh holds a M.A. in Arts and Sciences (University of Maastricht). His thesis dealt with questioning the democratic character of user participation in free / open source software development.
Stefan Verhaegh focuses on the dynamics of user-initiated innovation processes in the domain of ICT-networks. In the common conception, users are usually black-boxed as passive 'end users', only contributing to the diffusion of technology in their role as consumers. However, looking at current developments (for example free software development on Internet, or local community Wi-Fi networks), it is clear that the bi-polar user/producer distinction is no longer tenable. Verhaegh is especially interested in the ways in which the heterogeneous groups of so-called 'users' are actively contributing to innovation by the creation of new technologies, uses, meanings, configurations, applications, services or user organizations.

I thought it was odd that my wife was calling me on the classroom phone so early in the day, where I taught music at Penn View Christian School. Then it didn't make sense what she was telling me. I tried to picture it, and the images in my mind didn't come within a fraction of what I couldn't see from my classroom, but the rest of the world was watching on television. All I could say was, "this changes everything".
It was against school rules for a teacher's spouse to sit in the classroom without being needed as a chaperon, or for some other purpose. But this was a day when all rules were off. Chrystal was 6 months pregnant with our first daughter, and we had to fight for every week of that pregnancy. We lived 3 miles from a nuclear power plant, the towers in our town, and though it might seem far-fetched looking back, at the moment it didn't, to think that maybe the terrorists were about to attack our nuclear infrastructure. What was next? Who knew. As terrible as the towers were, we then learned of other attacks – Washington, and even Pennsylvania! So it was the day, the only day that Chrystal got in the car, drove away from the towers in our town, and headed 20 miles north to my classroom. And she sat safely in the back of my music class where I tried to concentrate on not letting elementary aged children know that our world had just become a very scary place. We stayed there that evening until we felt it was safe to go home, and it was the right thing to do.
Being a teacher at Penn View Christian School during the terrorist attack was unforgettable. We humans are cognitive thinkers, but we are also social thinkers. We think in groups, we process data together – always measuring our thoughts against what we see in others; so my reaction to that event was partly formed by their reaction to that event. Being surrounded by a group of pacifist Christians when we were under attack was an experience I will never forget, and I'm grateful to my Mennonite co-workers who helped me that day to process the trauma, the fear, the sadness, and the anger. They demonstrated to me in a new way what it means to have the mind of Christ in the midst of unspeakable evil. I'm forever indebted to the members of the Franconia Conference Mennonite Church USA for allowing me to experience the best of who they are in the worst of times. And on that day, this died-in-the-wool Nazarene became just a little bit Mennonite.
Of course, the dust began to settle that day. The horror set in to our collective conscience as we went about the task of discerning as a nation what it meant. I'm not sure if we've completely figured that out, it may still be too early to say. But I know this, I know that it's important to tell the story, to remember the fallen, to recall the sacrifice and heroism, and to remember that death will never have the final word. Isaiah 25:8, "He will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people's disgrace from all the earth. The Lord has spoken."
The towers in our town never did fall. But we will never forget.
