At Least Something is Enjoying This Heat
What's that twig in the middle of the garden bed? That's another 'Earth Song'! The roots on these roses have really spread out. They're trying to make another rosie! :-) Here are some up-close pics...
All the roses in our back yard are blooming too. We have a bunch of them all along our deck. Here's 'Molineux' AKA Molly.
Too bad I can't stand to be outside for more than 10 minutes to look at them. Too hot! Ugh! Today's actually supposed to be the last day of this kind of heat. It should be back into the 70s and 80s by tomorrow. Thank goodness!
Well, after some thought, and after receiving some great advice from the RW forums (thanks Kai), I don't think I'll just that running club I wrote about yesterday. I didn't want to sound conceited and say, "This is too easy for ME!" but the bottom line is, it just doesn't match where I am in terms of training. If I'm running 8-9 miles now on my long run, it would be pointless to go out and do 35 minutes as my "long run" as is suggested in the program. I could always do the 8-9 on my own, but then that defeats the purpose of joining a group. I took some advice and looked online at other local running stores. Another running specialty store in the area (Vertical Runner) is also hosting a fall marathon / half marathon training group. I emailed the person organizing the groups with some info about myself and he gave me a training schedule which is perfectly in line with what I'm already doing! So glad to find that! One downside to the group though is that the half mary they are training for is not the one I was planning on doing, which is the Cleveland River Run. They are training for the Akron Half Marathon and the Towpath Half Marathon. I was wondering if maybe I could do the River Run AND one of the other half marathons they are training for. The one I would most likely be interested in is the Towpath half marathon since it is about 5 weeks after the River Run. That should be enough recovery time, don't you think? I've heard the course is really beautiful too, so running both is definitely a possibility. The only other downside to joining this training group is actually kind of silly! They meet once a week to do group runs together (usually the LSD run) and the runs start at 7:00AM! The place they start from too is about 30 minutes from my house which means that I would have to wake up by 6:15AM on a Saturday morning. AHHHHHHH! I am SO not a morning person! And 6:15 -- holy cow! That's what time I get up for work everyday during the school year! To have to lose one of my two sleeping-in days...uhhhhhh. Now that I am on summer though, I don't mind giving up my Saturday sleeping-in day seeing as how I can sleep in the other six days of the week (tee-hee). The only problem there is that because I do sleep in the other six days, it is that much more torturous to get up at 6:15 when I have to! Boo hoo! Well, the program hosted by Vertical Runner lets us try it out for a month before committing, so we'll see how it goes this June. I won't even officially start anyhow since the first group run is this Saturday and I have a race that day. I guess a lot of people are also going to that same race though since they said their first "kick off" run will be the following Saturday. Maybe I can meet some of them at my race on Saturday. Speaking of that...
Awhile ago I posted about how I SO wanted to place at the race that is coming up this weekend, the Jim Klett Memorial 10K. I have never run a 10K before, but based on my last race time, the McMillian Calculator says that I should be able to run a 10K in about 54 minutes. That would be awesome and could earn me some hardware! I can't say that I have been training super hard core for this race though. I've gotten a little distracted with some work stuff as well as stuff around the house. I've definitely been running my 4 days/week, in fact, just this week, I hit an all time high of miles/week: 20.9! It's not a lot to some, but it is for me! Anyhow, while I've been getting the miles in, I haven't done any traditional "speedwork". I've been running some hilly courses, but nothing that really pushes a consistent pace on a flat course. I need to do some tempo running. I can probably get two more runs in before the race. Tomorrow will actually be perfect to do a tempo run. Hope it's not too little, too late!

Woo Hoo! Surprise Day Off!
I tried to go back to sleep, but I was already wide awake. Besides, Snoopy came and tried to snuggle with me and he was being such a wiggle worm, there was no sleep to be had. So I decided to get up and get some projects done. I ran to Michaels first to see if I was in luck with any of those $1 stamps. Nothing yet. I picked up a few other things and ran home.
With my extra time today, I finished a Christmas LO and I made an altered mailbox for my friend's daughter! I made my friend the Hello Kitty one and when she brought it home, her daughter thought it was for her! My friend had to break the news to her. So then my friend went to Target to get a mailbox so she could make one for her daughter, but they were all out! Well, I happen to have a few extras, so I made one for her daughter today. My friend said she likes princess stuff. I had the perfect paper in mind. I hope she likes it.
Patterned paper is by Marcella by K (Target), flowers are Prima and Heidi Swapp, stamps are Studio G $1 stamps!
Well, it's only halfway through the day! I love having time to do fun stuff! I probably should do laundry and clean some dishes....nah!

"Chaos in the Kitchen" Challenge #4: Enchiladas & Cornbread
Recipe ratings: Enchiladas -- 4.5 stars, Corn Bread -- 4 stars
Shredded Chicken Enchiladas
I found this recipe for the chicken enchiladas on a blog called, Loves to Eat. Click on the title above to see the original recipe. I have copied the recipe below but have made a few changes. Anything in italics is a modification I made.
Homemade enchilada sauce:
-15 ounce can tomato sauce
-small can tomato paste
-3/4 cup water
-1 can beef broth
-1/4 tsp cumin
-1/4 ts. garlic powder
-2 tsp chili powder
-1/4 tsp paprika
-1/2 tsp dried oregano
-salt and pepper to taste
-2 to 3 drops hot sauce
-Tortillas (4 large ones or 8 small ones)
-2 split chicken breasts, skin-on and bone-in
-2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
-1 small tub of sour cream
-8 green onions finely chopped
-Cheddar cheese (or Mexican mix cheese) to cover top
-Sour cream, salsa, taco sauce, etc..whatever toppings you prefer!
1. Preheat oven to 350*F. Coat both chicken pieces in olive oil and salt and pepper liberally. Place in a roasting pan and roast chicken in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until chicken is cooked. When finished, remove from oven and allow to cool. Remove skin, shred meat.
2. While chicken is roasting, make homemade sauce: Mix all sauce ingredients well and bring to a boil. Boil 15 mins.
3. Assemble enchiladas: Using a large spoon, spoon enchilada sauce on each tortilla. Spread to cover the tortilla. Fill with chicken, sour cream, onion, and mozzarella cheese. Roll up and place seam down in a 9x13 baking dish. Do this again with all tortilla wraps. Once all are in the dish, cover the enchiladas with the rest of the sauce and sprinkle on all the cheddar cheese. Bake at 350*F, uncovered for 30-40 mins or until bubbly and warm. Serve immediately with rice or veggie and choice of toppings! Makes 4 enchiladas or 8 mini enchiladas!
These enchiladas were so flavorful! The only big changes I made from the original recipe were these:
(1) The original recipe said to roast or poach chicken. I chose to roast the chicken. I've never done so before, but after seeing Ina do it on her show, Barefoot Contessa (Food Network,) I wanted to give it a try. Can I just say... O...M...G! After tasting this roasted chicken... well, all I can say is, "I hereby solemnly swear to NEVER poach another chicken again!" I mean seriously, it was like eating a completely different thing! Even my DH, who did not see me roast the chicken, commented on how good it tasted while eating the enchilada. It really made a difference!
(2) In the original recipe, it says to take the tortillas and dip them in the sauce before assembling. That was too messy for me. I just spooned the sauce on. Seemed to work well for me.
I highly recommend this recipe. It was super yum and very filling! With it, I served some Spanish rice (from a package...GASP! I know, I know...) and some honey cornbread muffins.
Honey Cornbread Muffins
Here is the recipe as it is on the Food Network website. (Click above for the link.) It is originally from the show, Down Home with the Neelys. This recipe makes 12 muffins.
-1 cup yellow cornmeal
-1 cup all-purpose flour
-1 tablespoon baking powder
-1/2 cup granulated sugar
-1 teaspoon salt
-1 cup whole milk
-2 large eggs
-1/2 stick butter
-melted 1/4 cup honey
-Special equipment: paper muffin cups and a 12-cup muffin tin
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Into a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the whole milk, eggs, butter, and honey. Add the wet to the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed.
3. Place muffin paper liners in a 12-cup muffin tin. Evenly divide the cornbread mixture into the papers. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden.
I followed the recipe directly as stated and they were super yummy! Although it should be noted that these are a little sweeter of a cornbread -- you could definitely taste the honey. I like that though! While these muffins were tasty as is, I might try adding a little spiciness by adding some minced jalapeno or Serrano peppers. That way, they'll have a little bit o' sweet and a little bit o' heat! Yum!
I would say that this challenge was a success, even though my plate presentation and picture-taking still isn't -- I swear, it may look terrible, but it was super yummy!

But They're Only $1! So That Means I Can Buy More...Right?
The hearts were cut with my Cricut and the stamps are Studio G $1 stamps. In case you can't see in the pic, the one across the bottom says "sending my love" and then on the heart is a package that says "for you" that has a heart on it also. Wait...speaking of Studio G stamps...
So if you've read any of my other posts, then you know that stamping is one of my new things. I got started by using those cute $1 stamps by Studio G. You can find them at Joanns or Michaels. I guess there is another store called ACMoore that carries them, but we don't have that around here. Anyway, while I was crusing my message boards, I ran across a post that has all of the Studio G $1 stamps pictured. (HERE it is if you want to see.) Well today, they added the newest set -- 40 sets with Valentine, St. Patrick's, and Easter theme. (Better pic of those on THIS thread -- scroll down to see.) They are TOO STINKIN CUTE! I want those babies so bad! (In my best Smeegle impression: Muuuuust haaaave the preeeecious...) Well, maybe not all 40 because that would be too much $$, but I do want so many of them! The only problem with these is that they are only $1! How is this a problem, you ask? Because in my mind, I keep saying, "Oh my goodness! It's just a buck! I can get a few more!" Then all of sudden 1 becomes 5, which becomes 10 and so on and so on! I swear, when I put those things in my little basket, they mulitply like rabbits or something! I don't know how else they turn from "just a few" to "that'll be $25 please"?! EEK! Oh, must.... practice.... restraint! I may have help though. It looks like these may only be available at ACMoore, which as I said, we don't have around here. I would be so sad if that were the case! Please, oh PLEASE let them be at M's or J's! I need to start using my positive thinking....I can't wait to get to M's or J's in the next few weeks and get them! I know they will be there for me, just begging to jump into my basket. Send out those positive vibes for me everyone! :-) Muuuuust haaaaaave the preeeeeciousssss...
Six Word Memoir Challenge
I've been tagged by Jen over at Jen's Birthday Challenge to write a memoir in 6 words or less. Well, I like to blab a lot, (as you can tell!) so 6 words or less is going to be tough, BUT, here goes...
Determined to forge my own path
Now what in the world does that mean?!?!?! Well, without getting into the details of my After School Special-like childhood, (Do they even have those anymore?!) I am determined to live my life in a way that is positive for my health and my sanity! Let's just say, that as much as I love my family, if I continued to live my life in the same way I was raised, I surely would have lost one of those things, if not both! So instead of following in their path, I choose to forge my own! In doing so, I try to...
- Keep my body healthy! That means staying in shape (running and working out) and trying to eat (and drink!) somewhat healthy.
- Be educated! I wanted to make sure that I had the education I needed so that if anything ever happened, I would always be able to take care of myself. I'm glad to say that I've accomplished that, but I still like learning about all different kinds of things!
- Develop strong relationships with the people I love. I always try to make sure that I let my friends and family know that I am thinking about them and will always be there for them. Sometimes they care and sometimes they don't, but I still try.
Well, that's me in 6 words or less! Actually...that was way more than 6...oh well! Now it's my turn to tag a few people to complete the 6 Word Memoir Challenge! I choose... Kai at See Kai Run, See Kai Eat and Morgan at Quick, Like a Bunny! If anyone else reading wants to jump in, please do! Your memoir can be serious or funny! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

A Few More
On a different note, I experienced a little Christmas miracle today! A few days ago, someone stole $7 out of my desk drawer. (That was NOT the miracle!) I'm pretty sure I know who it was, but no proof, so I'm out of luck there. Anyhow, I talked to my students about what happened in an attempt to guilt the suspect into confessing or at least to get any info from my kids. No luck. Anyhow, my students came up to me today and handed me $7 in coins! They said that they felt really bad about what happened and that they felt that I should not have to be out $7 because of someone else's lack of honesty. So, each student brought in a donation to reimburse me for my $7. Can you believe that?! My heart totally melted! While I was really disappointed that someone would steal money in the first place, this act totally outweighs that! Now I would like to take that $7 and use it to buy something for the class. Of course $7 won't get much so I'll have to increase that, but I want to definitely let my kids know how proud I am of them! :-)

Summer Vacay = Too Much Time = New Quest
While growing up, I was spoiled in the sense that I never really had to do anything! My mom cooked all meals for me and I was never really expected to help, so I really did NOT know my way around the kitchen. My Dad used to tease me about it all the time too. Anytime I would try to do something in the kitchen, he'd make such a big deal about it, I finally just stopped. It was a big joke and I was not going to give him the satisfaction at another laugh at my expense. So anyhow, when it came to me having to make my own food once I moved out at 18, I had about 3 things in my cooking repertoire -- PB & J sandwiches, tuna salad sandwiches, and Ramen noodle soup. Now, that'll get most college kids pretty far, so I was golden for awhile. Then I started dating this guy and he wanted to make dinner at home for once. We went really gourmet and decided on Hamburger Helper. We picked up some stuff from the store and brought it home. I still remember him throwing the ground beef into the skillet and telling me to start breaking it up to brown it. Can I just tell you -- I had never ever SEEN ground beef before! It freaked me out! I remember thinking that it looked like brains! I just kept poking at the mass of wiggly looking meat, pretending that I knew what I was doing. Thankfully, the rest of the cooking experience was pretty doable, as Hamburger Helper is. While eating that meal though, I just remember thinking, "Goodness gracious, what the hizeck am I going to do when he expects me to cook something real?!"
Well, as hard as I attempted to mask my complete ineptness in the kitchen, the BF caught on pretty fast and boy did he have fun teasing me about it. At first I just laughed, but then it started bugging me. He was just trying to be funny, but he made me feel really stupid. I think it bugged me more though because I hated knowing that there was something I was terrible at. Instead of learning how to cook better though, I just retaliated by refusing to do anything kitchen related. I showed him! (***Insert sarcasm here.***)
So anyhow, a few BFs later and I finally meet Mr. Right. I figure, this guy deserves to eat more than just PB&Js and Ramen Noodles, so I better get my act together. Unbeknownst to him, I secretly practice and try different recipes while we are dating. I only feed him the ones that actually turn out edible. It works! I landed the guy and proved to myself that I can learn to do something beyond opening a jar! (It probably helped though that Mr. Right would be perfectly satisfied eating PB&Js and Ramen Noodles! I also knew he was a keeper too because he never made me feel bad about what I could or couldn't do!)
So since I have met Mr. Right, I have come a long way in learning how to cook. Ground meet no longer frightens me! I've tackled things far more complicated! My DH even said yesterday that I was "a good cook". (The funny thing though is, I'll probably never believe him, but that's my issue.) But I WILL continue on my quest to being an awesome cook. I've been cruising one of my old fave forums, The Nest's What's Cooking and have gotten a lot of tips and recipes. I found some AWESOME blogs too. (If you're a foodie, you've got to check out Good Things Catered. The girl who writes it is super funny and down to earth, and her recipes AND PICS are drooliciuos!) So each day this week, I will be trying a new recipe. I will posting some of my successes, and yes, some of my failures too. I actually started this awhile ago. The whole Lemon Blossoms post was one my first adventures. While it wasn't a success, I still learned from it -- That's half the battle! I hope enjoy reading about my journey...oh, and if you work with my DH, you'll be tasting it too! Put in your requests!

The Aftermath of The Storm
Snoopy didn't like the snow at first. Hi hissed at it when I opened the door to the back deck!
Basil Ice Cream
As soon as I got home, I found the recipe on Epicurious. To make life a little easier, I'll list it here. Any changes or notes I've made are in italics.
2 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup sugar, divided
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup well-chilled heavy cream*
Special equipment: an instant-read thermometer; an ice cream makerDirections
1. Bring milk, basil, 1/4 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring, then remove from heat and let steep 30 minutes. Transfer to a blender (reserve saucepan) and blend until basil is finely ground, about 1 minute. (I chopped the basil very fine initially, so I skipped the blender step. You will strain the basil out anyway, so I don't think it's necessary to use the blender.)
2. Beat together yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 1 minute. Add milk mixture in a stream, beating until combined well. Pour mixture into reserved saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture coats back of spoon and registers 175°F on thermometer (do not let boil). Immediately remove from heat and pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl. Set bowl in a larger bowl of ice water and stir until cold, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Stir in cream and freeze in ice cream maker. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 2 hours.
Cooks' note:Ice cream can be made 2 days ahead.
* As I was typing this, I just noticed that while 1/2 cup heavy cream is listed in the ingredients, it is never mentioned in the directions! Consequently, I never used it, but my ice cream still came out great. Maybe next time I'll try incorporating the heavy cream in step 1 to see what kind of difference it might make.
So what's the verdict? Two thumbs up! The flavor of the ice cream was very sweet, light and refreshing! It reminded of a mint flavored ice cream. I could definitely see this topped with chocolate of some sort or maybe I could add in some chocolate chips. I think this would be a great dessert to serve after a heavier summertime meal like a grilled steak with potatoes or something. Overall, it was a nice change from the traditional and is something I'll definitely make again.

Genting Highlands Day Tour I Genting Highlands 2 Day Tour
Genting Highlands, amidst the freshness of cool, crisp mountain air about 6000 feet above sea level lies Malaysia's one and only Casino Resort
Stop at the Cable Car Station and take a skyway cable car ride, with the sky above you and the tropical rainforest below, ride up to the hilltop on the longest and fastest cable car in South East Asia.
Your ride to the peak with the fastest and longest in Southeast Asia cable car
When building the Genting Skyway, no expense were spared to ensure the complete safety of the system. The 2 x 640KW power of the main drive and the 54mm diameter solid cable wire also makes it one of the most powerful and strongest monocable gondola installation in the world. The entire system with high-tech electronic equipment was built in accordance with stringent Swiss regulations and it has a double safety circuit completely independent and absolutely fault safe.
The foundation used for the pylons is of the "Hang-dug Caisson" type. Each pylon is founded on four Caissons measuring 1.2 meters in diameter, which are socketed down to bedrock. The average depth of the Caissons is about 40 m (135 feet) and each group of four Caissons piles can take a vertical load of 4,000 tonnes against the maximum vertical load of 150 tonnes from the cable car system. The Caissons method is about the safest and strongest foundation in existence, designed specifically for hilly terrain. Each pylon is accessible via rescue tracks on the ground, whilst each gondola is equipped with radio communication equipment from the stations.
The Genting Skyway will not only further enhance the international fame of Genting Highlands Resort but will also place Malaysia as a famous location for one of the most modern cable car system.

As if this weekend could have gotten any better, my favorite actor hosted Saturday Night Live. I have the biggest crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt, so you can imagine my excitement when he tweeted about coming on SNL.
I am not exaggerating when I call this the best SNL monologue of all times. I thought guys couldn't get any better than Channing Tatum in Magic Mike. That was until I saw Joseph-Gordon Levitt give his Magic Mike performance. As much love as I have for Channing, no one can compare with JGL. In the words of Steve Carrell's character in Crazy. Stupid. Love., he is just the perfect combination of sexy and cute.
I have this theory that if we actually have soulmates, they appreciate at least two main things that we do. If my theory is correct, my soulmate owns at least one Jason Mraz CD, and he has seen Inception more than once.
It could easily be this guy.

May is not only the season of peonies, but also the aquilegias. I adore the freshness of this beautiful little flower, like a glass of lemon ice tee in the hot weather. Have a good rest of the week!
3 Comments
Oh I truly love the way you do your flower pictures… With all this white in the backround. Wonderfull!
Rather than a weekly uadtpe, why not use the Praxis graphs; instead of having the x-axis as 24 hours, have it for the winter season, say Oct 1 to May 1 (we don't usually have snow outside of those months). You could plot last year's data as yesterday's' data, as well as add a third line for the 30 year average (might just be steps of monthly long term averages?). Then we could see this winter grow above (or below) the line and know exactly where we stand every 15 minutes! Oh the excitement.

Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka 'wontumi,' the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has admonished Ghanaians to use the 58th independence Day celebration to fervently pray for the progress of the country.
According to him, Ghana is currently facing the worst economic crises since it attained independence in 1957, stressing the need for the populace to seek God's intervention to salvage the country.
Speaking to DAILY GUIDE, the NPP capo stated that the Ashanti regional branch of the NPP had decided to use the Independence Day to pray for the improvement of the conditions of Ghanaians.
According to the NPP bigwig, who is a staunch Christian and knowledgeable in the Holy Bible, 'God is ever ready to listen to the cry of his people so we should go before him in prayers.'
The NPP top official said the prayer session is not restricted to NPP members, urging other people belonging to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Convention People's Party (CPP), People's National Congress (PNC), among others, who have Ghana at heart, to take part in the prayer session.
He entreated the NPP members and the entire populace to fast and pray for Ghana at various locations today, explaining that the party has not selected a particular place for the prayer session.
Wontumi said ideally Ghanaians should be celebrating on Independence Day to highlight economic successes chalked so far, but sadly Ghana has not recorded any significant successes to celebrate.
He said that the country was facing numerous challenges which call for God's supernatural intervention.
The NPP Chairman stated that the economic crunch which has worsened in recent times was due to lack of effective leadership and implementation of bad policies and programmes by the current Mahama administration.
He pointed out that the Mahama administration doesn't have the knowledge and experience to fix the myriad of problems confronting the country, noting that Ghana is in deep trouble.
What Ghanaians need now is God's intervention and favour to save the country from the insurmountable challenges.
Wontumi predicted that Nana Akufo-Addo would record a landslide victory in the 2016 general elections to lead Ghana into affluence.

Denis Healey, the former Labour MP, Defence Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer has died aged 98 after a short illness.
Born in Mottingham, Kent, in August 1917, a Communist in his youth, Healey joined the Labour Party in 1945 after fighting in the Second World War with the Royal Engineers in the North African Campaign, the Allied invasion of Sicily and the Italian Campaign.
Lord Healey, a Labour Member of Parliament for 40 years from 1952, served as Secretary of State for Defence from 1964 to 1970 and Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1974 to 1979. On retiring from the House of Commons in 1992 he joined the House of Lords.
The BBC reports that a defining moment in his political career was in 1976 when he applied for an emergency loan from the the International Monetary Fund in an effort to save the pound from collapse. As Chancellor of the Exchequer Healey had to find the £2.5 billion cuts in government spending demanded in return for the $3.9 billion loan.
Like other former Chancellors, Lords Lawson and Lamont, Healey came to conclude in later life that leaving the European Union (EU) would not be bad for Britain. Having been Chancellor during the last Europe referendum in 1975, two years ago he told Channel 4's Michael Crick:
"I wouldn't object strongly to leaving the EU. The advantages of being members of the union are not obvious. The disadvantages are very obvious. I can see the case for leaving – the case for leaving is stronger than for staying in.
"The trouble about Europe is what I call the Olive Line, the line below which people grow olives. North of the Olive Line people pay their taxes and spend public money very cautiously. South of it they fail to pay their taxes at all, but spend a lot of public money."
The history of the 1980s could have been very different had he succeeded in his campaign for the Labour Party leadership in 1980. He lost to Michael Foot by 10 votes.

Actors Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon have been tapped to star in a film about two real-life fighters from Massachusetts.
Variety reported on film, titled The Fighter, sheding some light on the Paramount project.
[A] drama about boxer "Irish" Micky Ward's unlikely road to the world lightweight title. His Rocky-like rise was shepherded by half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded in life after nearly being KO'd by drugs and crime.
The duo recently acted together in the Scorsese directed mob hit The Departed, in which Wahlberg earned an Oscar nomination for. Variety reports that they will sign on to the film if they like the script (which is currently in a rewriting stage).
The Fighter will be produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman. Shotting is expected to begin in early Summer.

Welcome to my website. Here you will find a Smorgasbord of things I am interested in, so interested in that I have been moved to publish information on the internet about them.
Professionally, I am currently an engineer with the world's biggest brewing company working on solving problems related to getting you to drink more interesting beers.
Personally, I am a dad to humans and a dog, a husband to a wonderful wife and a person with interests all over the place, ranging from motorcycles to coffee and mechatronics to pizza.
I attended Bradley University in Peoria, IL for my undergraduate studies resulting in myself earning Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Then I attended Northwestern University in Evanston, IL for my graduate studies where I obtained a Master of Science in Engineering Design and Innovation. I don't plan on attending any of colleges again but do plan on learning as much as I can about everything I can in the time I have here on Earth.

Over Christmas, my sister-in-law visited. We got to talking about making quilts. She'd made one for Jackson when he was born, and has since made quilts for other friends when they had children.
I was inspired. Also, she is totally an enabler. She started sending me links to blogs and videos about quilting.
So last week, I decided to make a quilt for a dear friend's baby shower. I learned quite a bit through the process. The hardest part was actually deciding what fabric to use.
I spotted the fabric for the back of the quilt first. It looked very much like some fabric she'd picked for her inspiration board for the baby's nursery. Selecting the material to piece together for the front was a little tougher.
The woman who I like to shop with at the fabric store is absolutely hilarious. She does not lack for confidence in her opinions or pull any punches. When I found the mustache fabric, she immediately told me it was terrible. "That is totally inappropriate for a baby," she fussed at me.
I told her I really thought she would like it. We went back and forth for quite some time. Finally she told me that it was my blanket and I could ruin it if I wanted to. I told her I was willing to live with that potential outcome.
It turned out pretty well. There are mistakes sewn into it. I insisted that was the "charm" of the quilt. My friend said she loved it. That's good enough for me.


text: I upgraded to this from my r4. I had heard that if you use the AKAIO firmware, it should be able to read the .sav files just fine, that isn't the case for me. The firmware worked but ya, it just won't read the .sav files. So, can anyone help me out here. Also, since i just got this acekard, anyone got any good recommendations for some homebrew apps? PS, sry i didn't use search but the admin took that down for a while.

Fellowship's Difference...
Why Does Fellowship Seem a Little Different from Other Churches? Simple: the universal truth: "Form Follows Function."
What?! What does "Form Following Function" got to do with being a church?
Everything! One doesn't drink coffee out of a bathtub, or take a bath in a coffee cup. One doesn't use a nail to pound a hammer into two pieces of wood in order to bind the two pieces of wood together. One drinks coffee out of a coffee cup. One takes a bath in a bathtub. One uses a hammer to pound a nail into two blocks of wood to bind them together.
Ponder how even with respect to something as simple as footwear "form still follows function." Who wants to run or play sports in high heels? Or trudge miles in the snow in your slippers? Or swim with fishing waders on? Or fight fires while wearing swimming fins (now that would be
Typically in life, forms are designed, or take a particular shape, for a particular purpose or function.
Thus as it is true in life, so it is in the church. And if God did create the church for a specific purpose, understanding that purpose or function might just enlighten or heighten our church experience. At Fellowship we believe our purpose, our function as a church, is to create an environment that encourages Christ-like Spiritual growth.
Now, while forms may change from generation to generation, a church's function remains constant. A biblically-directed, well-purposed church might just be the godly vessel, tool or form that man has been searching for to have a meaningful and well-lived life—a life that honors and pleases our Creator and Redeemer?

The recalculated ZEISS lens Milvus 1.4 / 85mm for Canon cameras with EF-mount has its strengths especially in the field of portrait photography. Wherever the main motive exempted and most beautiful bokeh should be included in the image design, this lens is just right. The purely spherical optical design and high use of special glasses provide the best micro-contrast and extremely low chromatic aberration. This always succeed outstanding recordings - with the master of bokehs.
The Planar lens design is the most successful camera lens concept - and the most copied of all time. It gives the appearance with numerous means extremely broadly to correct all aberrations. And its image quality is very consistent over a wide range of magnifications, the decisive prerequisite for universal macro lenses such as ZEISS Makro-Planar lens.
All lenses are coated with T * ® anti-reflective coating by ZEISS. Optimized stray light reduction will take place through a combination of finely tuned measures. In addition to the ZEISS T * coating all the lens edges are processed in complex manual work with a deep black special lacquer. Light traps in mechanical components and specially calculated surfaces are integrated so that reflections can not arise. Each focal length is characterized by an individual appearance construction with partial use of special types of glass with anomalous partial dispersion. Thus, the tendency to color fringing on high-contrast edges of the subject is extremely minimized.
Because of their high optical performance the ZEISS Milvus lenses are specifically designed to meet the needs of current and future, high-performance digital cameras. Contrasting shots are possible due to the low stray light levels in the lens even with rising dynamic ranges of the sensors (HDR). The minimization of aberrations such as coma, astigmatism and spherical aberrations allows a constant high resolution over the entire image field. The optics has the potential to extract even from high-resolution systems the optimum. No matter what the future holds - the Milvus lenses by ZEISS they are prepared
to manually operate an objective means to gently and precisely control the image result from the fingertips out and thus more confident. Ergonomics are everything. The ZEISS lenses Milvus convincing case through a large angle of rotation, which allows perfect focusing on the point. The quality focusing mechanism is smooth and no play: This supports the creative game with the focal plane of light strong lenses. Changes are immediately visible in the viewfinder or display. The engraving in meters and feet, and the depth of scale provide extra help during the manual focus.
Durable product with protection against environmental influences
For best practices ensures optimized ergonomics and enables fatigue-free shooting and reduces camera shake. Through the all-metal case, each handle is a tactile experience. The wide dynamic range of housing design sets new standards in the world of photographic lenses. But the ZEISS Milvus lenses are not only a superior housing appearance and feel, but also convince with its inner values. Special seals for protection against dust and splash of creative control in a range of photography - so the reliable operation is guaranteed even under difficult conditions.
Modern camera systems with high-resolution digital image sensors are increasingly demanding performance of lenses. The floating elements design enables consistently consistently high imaging performance in the focal plane - the minimum focusing distance to infinity. This is done by varying the axial spacing of individual lenses or lens groups from each other. The adjustment of the lens distance is linked to the distance setting, so that always gives the right correction. The mechanical design of ZEISS Milvus lenses is very complex and the processing must be particularly accurate - both the parade disciplines of ZEISS.

Cars run one at a time against the clock and have the opportunity to drift and powerslide through the dirt with very little risk of hitting anything tougher than a rubber cone.
All you need to compete is a regular car* and the entry fee. We have loaner helmets available and love to help new people get started. Just ask any questions you might have!
*Cars need to be hardtops. Cages are not required but you will occasionally see them in pictures because some competitors also use their cars for stage rally. Convertibles are required to compete with the factory hardtop.
For the NorCal RallyCross (NCRX) Championship, we will be following the most current California Rally Series (CRS) RallyCross Championship rules with the exception of car classification. Instead of following the CRS RallyCross Classes we will be using the most current SCCA defined Vehicle Classifications plus we will be running a new class called "Limited".

Save East Austin Schools supports public funding for public schools. The problem is, the Austin ISD bond plan would discriminate against Austin's low-income Hispanic and African-American communities. The large majority —75 percent of students — are minorities who typically attend Title 1, low-income schools. However, only 35 percent of bond monies would go to Title I schools.
The bond proposal, if passed, would: allow a mostly affluent white LASA to displace Hispanic students from Eastside Memorial High School at Johnston campus; and, in South Austin, favor predominantly white affluent Bowie High School with $91 million in new construction versus $15 million, $13 million and $9 million, respectively, for mostly Hispanic Crockett, Akins and Travis High Schools.
Austin ISD must fully value and support all of Austin's children equitably. Until then, we ask Austin voters to vote against the bond.
TWO VIEWS: Austin ISD bond package isn't perfect but deserves support.
We want Austin ISD to keep East Austin schools open. Trustees have discussed closing a number of schools, including Brooke Elementary, Metz Elementary and Sanchez Elementary schools in the barrio along east Town Lake; and in Northeast Austin, Norman Elementary and Bertha Sadler Means Young Women's Leadership Academy, predominantly Hispanic and African-American schools. Why is it that the district is only thinking about closing and consolidating schools east of Interstate 35?
Trustees say they want to close the schools because of low enrollments, though there are 23 underenrolled schools across the district. All 23 deserve to be valued fully.
A Facilities Bond Planning Advisory Committee assessed schools for funding needs. Predominantly affluent or middle-class white schools with low ratings are considered "worst first" and would receive full modernization for their vintage schools. For example, Casis Elementary would receive $35 million for renovation. Compare this to treatment of the East Austin schools. They have better facilities assessments, yet are labeled as "crumbling." Brooke, Metz, Sanchez and Norman elementaries would receive, on average, only $300,000 each in the bond initiative — and they would lose their campuses.
All the schools targeted for closure are meeting academic requirements. Norman is excelling.
The fact is, the East Austin schools are located on now-desirable land on east Town Lake. A long list of developers is funding promotion of the bond and would profit if it were to pass.
CONTINUING COVERAGE: Pro-AISD bond group raises $186,000 in campaign funds.
Let's look at the bad idea of removing LASA from LBJ, a historically African-American high school. The district is talking about taking the predominantly white and exclusive LASA out of District 1, while proposing to kick out the mostly low-income Latino kids from Eastside Memorial at Johnston Campus to accommodate the wealthy, white LASA leadership. Such a move would relegate the Eastside Memorial students to a lot less land. They would no longer have their campus of 57 years, nor their outdoor recreation fields. The proposed move would put them in uncertainty for the next five years.
This move would put the district in contravention of the 1970s-era MALDEF and LULAC lawsuit that ordered desegregation of Austin schools. Austin voters are being asked to vote on something that's illegal: having three segregated schools — Reagan, LBJ and Eastside Memorial — in District 1. There would no longer be a high school for District 2, since LASA is a "members-only" campus.
What are the solutions?
The district must leave Eastside Memorial High School at its Johnston Campus with full renovation. Austin ISD must also take the difficult but necessary steps of boundary adjustments to alleviate overcrowding and increase enrollments.
FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: Viewpoints delivers the latest perspectives on current events.
Instead of closing East Austin schools, the district must also boost enrollments by: supporting existing and desired programs at the schools; promoting public visibility; limiting transfers out; and integrating the schools. The children will benefit from caring and thoughtful integration. This has been achieved at Blackshear Elementary School. The same successes can be repeated at the East Austin schools that are currently targeted for closure.
The district must adjust the project list and value all of Austin's children. In the meantime, we ask you to vote against the bond package as written.
Vasquez is a member of the Save East Austin Schools political action committee.

Economyoverview: Economic reforms launched in late 1994 contributed to exchange rate stabilization, reduced inflation, and strong GDP growth in 1995-96. In 1996, there was increased mineral and petroleum exploration, and a new investment law that allows for repatriation of capital dividends has drawn more investment to the island. Upon coming to power in August 1996, President FERNANDEZ nevertheless inherited a trouble-ridden economy hampered by a pressured peso, a large external debt, nearly bankrupt state-owned enterprises, and a manufacturing sector hindered by daily power outages. In December, FERNANDEZ presented a bold economic reform packageincluding such reforms as the devaluation of the peso, income tax cuts, a 50% increase in sales taxes, reduced import tariffs, and increased gasoline pricesin an attempt to create a market-oriented economy that can compete internationally. Even though reforms are moving ahead at a slow pace, the economy grew vigorously in 1997, with tourism and telecommunications leading the advance. The government is working to increase electric generating capacity, a key to continued economic growth.

text: According to Incapsula, bots went from 51% of web traffic in 2012 to 61% of web traffic this year for a 21% year-over-year increase. The cloud computing firm found that most of the increase in bot traffic was due to increased activity by "good bots" like search engines. Spam bots, comparatively, are on the decline. However, the fact remains that any self-congratulatory remarks about a blog reaching a visit and/or page view milestone or blog rankings based on those metrics are wild inflations of this form of "social media." If the bot traffic trend continues at this pace, pretty soon one will have divide web traffic stats by four to come up with a reasonable estimate of human mouse clicks and eyeballs. — Joe

Adapter won't stay plugged into receptacles while traveling
Due to the weight, location of the plug, the folding nature of the prongs and configuration of outlets I have had issues with the charger dropping out of the wall receptacles. I've taken to traveling with a cheep 2wire extension cord. Does Apple have an different type of 2 prong plug for example one with a cord rather than the fold out 2 prong plug?

The Birth & Baby Network, as well as the work I do with new parents with Birth & Baby Basics, is all about being inclusive and supporting the different choices we want to or need to make as a parent.
As a result of listening to many of the mums I see postnatally, I want this website to be a place of information and support for formula feeding as well as for breastfeeding.
Like all things baby there are no absolutes so I am looking for your experiences. Regular comments that come up from new mums are:
- What formula to use and why? If you have switched from any formulas, why and did it make a difference?
- Any preference with bottles?
- Routines with sterilizing and making up your bottles?
- Combine-feeding and making it work
If you could share your story and your tips with me that would be great because it will be really beneficial to a lot of parents with a young baby.
You can add a comment below, you can leave a message on my Facebook Page or you can email me: email@example.com

"When I created this recipe, I had no idea what I was doing, I just knew I wanted a nice flavor, and that when you mixed these ingredients, it had just that! I often substitute many of the fresh vegitables based on what I have in the fridge. There are just three hard and fast items, the ground chicken, the okra, and the spices. Based on the way I cook it the so called "okra slime" is actually part of the secret sauce, and it is desireable for the texture of the entire dish. A lot of people say that don't like it, but when I make it I have yet to have anyone even mention it!"

- Also, take dried peppers and roast for about 4 minutes at about 300 degrees. Don't let them burn, just get them to puff up a bit. Once done, put in a small pot with the beef broth to simmer for about 15 minutes. Let cool after all the peppers are soft.

Enjoy this crispy Roasted Broccoli with an awesome cheesy flavor without any actual cheese added (therefore awesome option for vegans and anyone intolerant to milk). You will enjoy this recipe even if you're not a fan of this veggie (I got you!), because it's simply irresistible in this cheesy form! Read on.
Confession: I had been living without an oven for about 5 years. I haven't thought it was THAT needed, to be honest. Well, you don't miss it when there's no option, right? But when I look back, I'm banging my head against the wall (figuratively, no worries) and now I understand all those I-can't-believe-this stares from people that I mentioned this to at that time.
To try maintain a healthy diet and not having an oven is not fun, I'm not going to lie. Veggies just taste like veggies and for example cooked broccoli was definitely never on my top list. Oven is like this weird box where you put in something that's kinda un-exciting and then in 20 minutes you take out magic. Magic like glitters sprinkled everywhere. Everything is better with an oven. Except for celery (tried that, nope!).
Oven is like this weird box where you put in something that's kinda un-exciting and then in 20 minutes you take out magic.
Anyway, let's skip to current times when I (and you with me!) can enjoy: delicious gluten free (that means guilty free, right?!) Banana Bread that I'm having at least once a week (and for example now, at 7 pm as I'm writing this article and having my fourth slice topped with my Chia Seed Jam), or addictive Brussels Sprouts with Sweet Potatoes that I eat with just about everything (I enjoyed them with salmon today, yum!). And this new addition: Cheesy Roasted Broccoli!
Cheesy Flavor without any Actual Cheese in?
Instead of your classic cheese, there's nutritional yeast. It contains huge amount of protein, vitamins, minerals and is like this cheap and underrated superfood. More about it here. It has nice and cheesy flavor and therefore is amazing for vegans or anyone intolerant to milk (me).
I use nutritional yeast even on pasta if I crave cheesy sauce. I just mix nutritional yeast with olive oil and voilá, done!
Back to the Roasted Broccoli
You can have this Cheesy Roasted Broccoli with everything you can imagine. Tofu, meat, fish, etc. Recipe is also good for anyone who hates this veggie, because trust me, with nutritional yeast added to the game, you cannot NOT love this dish. Well, technically side dish.
Cheesy Roasted Broccoli without Cheese
Roasted Broccoli with an awesome cheesy flavor without any actual cheese added (therefore awesome option for vegans and anyone intolerant to milk).
- 1 bunch broccoli
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Preheat oven for 400 degrees F | 200 degrees C.
- Cut broccoli into florets.
- Mix olive oil and nutritional yeast until paste is formed.
- Toss the florets with the paste (try to cover every piece using your hands) add salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake for about 20 minutes until the stems are tender.
Enjoy and let me know how you liked it!
