January is... National Soup Month. I have quite a few cookbooks that stock themselves with soup recipes. Why not? Soup is just so versatile. Everything in the soup! Sometimes, I have more ingredients in my freezer for soup than I do for meat and potato dinners. I guess you could say I'm a pretty typical saver. I find it quite difficult to throw anything away. Not only food but most anything. But, we're talking about soup here. I freeze and save stock, bones, leftover vegetables, rice and most anything of substance. I'm very good about dating and labeling everything I save in the freezer. Sometimes, I even write a little note on the label. Use for sauce. Save for soup. In the winter months, versatility and nourishment blend well together. It's the perfect time to "clean" out the freezer and use all those leftover bounties. I'm not crazy about going to the grocery store and in the winter, I like it even less. Rummaging through the freezer saves me a trip plus, and here's the best part, I get to create.
Soup is a good learning tool especially, for beginning cooks. All of the basics of the kitchen are experienced and enjoyed in a pot of soup. For instance, if you build from the bottom up, the soup pot would be the first consideration. I like my stock pot to be heavy, with a reinforced durable bottom. I want to be able to use the pot for other dishes besides soup or stock. I want to be able to make a hearty spaghetti sauce in it, boil corn on the cob in it, cook pasta in it and be able to use it for braising. I want all of the ingredients to fit in the bottom without burning and I want to be able to stack the ingredients in layers.
Ingredients are next. My first layer usually begins with a bit of cooking oil. I don't always use olive oil. Actually, I don't always use oil per se. Depending on the soup, I choose my "grease" accordingly. For instance, if I were making pea soup, I would probably use bacon as my "grease." A few strips of bacon, some onions, and perhaps, a bit of leftover ham skin I froze from a leftover baked ham. If I were making chicken soup, I might still use some bacon, perhaps, turkey bacon and some leftover chicken grease I have frozen. I told you I save EVERYTHING! For someone new to cooking, the choices are a lesson, the layers are a consideration and what should be frozen the next time is experienced. Darn, just a tablespoon of bacon fat would sure come in handy right now and add just that bit of flavor for the next layer.
The seasonings. I use seasonings in all layers of the soup. Back to the pea soup. I've fried my strips of bacon. Yes, I do have some frozen but, that will stay and I have bacon in the fridge I really should use so, I will use it and save the other for another time. The onions I have will work in the pea soup but, I have an assortment of onions in the freezer. Pearl onions, diced onions, farm stand onions and sweet vidalia onions I saved from when the kids were here. I think I'll use the vidalia onions. They add a bit of interest to the soup as they glisten and absorb the essence of the peas. I slowly add the frozen onions to the bacon which is now ready for and waiting for the onions. Can you smell it yet? Of course you can't. Too bad...I'm not to keen on adding too many herbs and spices to pea soup. One reason is I usually have saved quite a bit of stock from the baked ham I had leftover and I don't want to confuse the flavorings of the ham by adding unnecessary herbs and spices. I do like my pea soup slightly smokey though so I will add a tiny bit of smoke seasoning. I like hickory flavored salt but I'll go lightly on it as the ham is slightly salty and I don't want to have too much before I even start. I'll just sprinkle and let it be while I get my next layer ready.
So, let's see, what's going in the soup next. Our novice soup brewer has simply gotten to the step where the scents in the background are stimulating the ingredients in the mind. Wait, I don't want to make this pea soup. Perhaps, I'll whip up some ham and potato soup instead. I'll chop and add some celery real quick (nope no celery in the freezer) and let it capture the essence of the vidalia. I have chunks of ham in the freezer. I'll use them instead of the ham bone and drippings that I have frozen in a separate freezer bag. I don't like frozen potatoes in soup so I'll use fresh. I do have some corn frozen fresh from the last harvest. Mmmm...that'll be wonderful. Ham, Potato and Corn Soup. Whoops, if I'm adding the ham chunks, dice up some red potatoes, and make it nice and thick, I'll call it Ham, Potato and Corn Chowder. I have more ham than I do potatoes or I'd just switch it around. Potato, Corn Chowder with Ham. Look at that, now I'm inventing a new recipe to my recipe file. I should write it down right now. I have a nice, clear, spicy pepper stock in the freezer. It's probably around a quart or so. I think I'll add that first, right over the clear layer of onions and celery. I wish there were a few peppers in the stock but wait, I have a half of stuffed pepper in the freezer. It's stuffed with rice and who knows what else but I'm sure it isn't enough to damage the soup. If anything, it will probably add a surprise flavor and texture. Subtle but effective. I'm going to have to get the skin off the pepper though. The pepper pulp is fine but no no no skin. I'll let the first couple of layers simmer and prepare the pepper. Oh, it's fine in my book, that it's frozen. It's going to be in that soup for quite a while. I'm going to cut it up after I skin it. I'm not going to change the title of my new soup recipe to Ham Potato and Corn Chowder to include pepper but, I will now make it Spicy, Potato, Ham and Corn Chowder. I didn't like the way it rested with the Spicy Ham so now I'll add a few more potatoes and switch the title. I can do that, It's my "chowder" soup!
I need a recap. I suppose what I'm trying to conger up here is a supportive reason to rekindle our souls with a newly created soup to celebrate soup month and the oh so glorious expectation of the first slurp. I hope to reach out to those new kitchen spirits who long for a warm down home reminder in the mist of the cold winter. My daughter, who isn't much of a cook, now lives in Idaho. I know before this winter is over, she will be calling and asking for a recipe for Pasta Fazoule (Beans and Macaroni) which in our house we prepare like a soup. It's a seasonal reminder of the cherished times we spent in the kitchen together. Pasta Fazoole warms up the bitterly cold Idaho nights and like many soups, once it's started, it just simmers and offers the bonus of the melting layers. Pasta Fazoule are the first words my children tried to pronounce in Italian. We still kid about the mispronunciation. I've decided not to continue with the layering of the pea soup now transformed into Spicy, Potato, Ham and Corn Chowder. Instead, I am including a recipe from the book titled A Meal In Itself by Mary Frost Mabon copyright 1944. It's a recipe for Joan Fontaine's Soup. I thought I would include it since I didn't find a recipe for Joan Fontaine's soup when I Googled it. From the book:
Indeed a meal in itself, homemade soup deserves to be brought back to the stock pot. As the great Louis P. De Gouy writes, "Soup is to the meal what the hostess's smile of welcome is to the party, a prelude to the goodness to come." Back in 1944, Joan Fontaine was "an astonishing cook" Here is a recipe for Joan Fontaine's Soup
|3 small leeks
4 large potatoes
a little butter
2 quarts broth
|light cream to taste
chopped hard boiled egg
chopped crisp bacon
chopped chives
|Clean the leeks, then cut the white part and the pale green part in thin rounds. Put these in a heavy pot, add enough butter to keep from burning, and cook, slowly, covered, till the leeks are softened. Do not let them color. Then add peeled, thinly sliced potatoes, broth, parsley or celery. Simmer till vegetables are soft. Pass through a sieve and add light cream to taste. Also, add salt & pepper. Reheat before serving and sprinkle each plate of soup thickly with chopped egg and bacon.
NOTE: To prepare this cold, omit the chopped egg & bacon. Chill for several hours. A drop of two of worcestershire may be added. Whip with mixer before serving with chopped chives on top.
The next cook book I would like to share, is The Master Book of Soups by Henry Smith which was published by Spring Books and printed in Czechoslovakia. It does not have a copyright date.
From the inside dust jacket cover:
This is the most complete and up to date collection of soup recipes that the housewife could wish for and one which will be equally valuable to the professional cook and the hotel and catering trade. Essential standard recipes are included, but there is also a wide range of lesser-known, exquisitely appertising soups from all parts of the world, together with many of the author's original recipes. The clearest possible working instructions are given, and in addition to the careful classifications of the various categories there is a detailed index which makes instant reference easy.
I took the easy way out and just scanned these recipes for Cream of Watercress Soup and Cream of Watercress Parmentier from the book. Enjoy:)
FYI: A prominent figure in the British watercress industry in the late 1800s and early 1900s was Eliza James, who because of her near monopoly on the London watercress trade was nicknamed "The Watercress Queen".

Fuel Intentions: Ensemble Drama "Syriana" Never Pumps a Dry Well
I'll be the first to admit that, at times, I can be as dumb as Paris Hilton is on a good day. At least I have a college degree. (Give me a little credit) I never really enjoyed History class in high school, I used a certain yellow & black companion to get through English and I don't think I knew what IRS stood for until about a year ago. Having got that out of the way I must say I was both intrigued and wildly confused during the newest political drama to come out of Hollywood since oh, last week. From the makers of Traffic as the trailer so proudly exclaims comes Syriana a movie so tightly made, with such strong performances and so much going on that if you're intellectual with a strong knowledge of global issues you'll get it and if you're well, like me, you'll nod your head and just go along with it. Never since the first Mission: Impossible have I been so into what's happening onscreen, yet had no idea what was going on at the same time. That's inspired movie making.
So what exactly is going on in this knock of corporate power? Much. We have several different storylines ala let's say Magnolia or Crash. However, the relationships between the characters are more much significant. Syriana, as you probably know, is about the globe's powerful, and possibly corrupt, (didn't see that coming did you?) oil industry. The film takes us around the world from the Persian Gulf to DC to Sweden and back again. The film is as multi-layered as its set of characters. We get a glimpse of the oil field workers (including Pakistani youngster played by Mazhar Munirwho) who get laid off because two of the world's most powerful oil corporations are merging. We get CIA operative George Clooney with one scraggly looking beard, who is investigating who knows what. We get energy analyst Matt Damon, who fits comfortably into his role, (Amanda Peet is his wife in a potent but too small role) who becomes buddy-buddy with a powerful Gulf prince. We also follow attorney Jeffrey Wright, who channels that guy from Good Morning America with ease, as he refines the merger of the aforementioned oil companies. And what would this film be without your Armani-wearing corporate big boys in their clean offices as they shake each other's hands for a business deal well done (great supporting performance again Chris Cooper).
So what does all this add up to? We get to observe (through a sometimes shaky camera) the inner workings of a massive machine and how all the little components make up the conglomerate whole. I think I'm doing pretty good so far right? Paris, eat your heart out. The film works on the same level as the film Traffic, which deservedly won Steven Soderbergh a best director Oscar several years ago. Syriana's plot weaves itself in a very similar manner, but with a different subject. They make two very good companion pieces. The captain at the helm this time is (Oscar winner) Traffic screenwriter Steven Gaghan who does a great job of getting the viewer caught up in the corruption onscreen at nearly every minute. The nontraditional music score by Frenchman Alexandre Desplat helps tell the story. I knew when to feel suspense and when I could relax just from his music.
The film has an obvious leftist bend, which seems refreshing and overdone at the same time. However, any film that Republicans are sure to argue about makes it all the more worthwhile. Speaking of which, according to an anonymous message board poster at a popular movie website, "What ever happened to movies that were entertaining? I am a conservative who agrees with the war, but as a normal human being I'd like to watch a movie that is entertaining." I guess I'm not as dumb as I thought I was. Hey I'm all up for movies that are entertaining, but of course what could be more entertaining than watching a conservative squirm in his seat watching a film like this? Sadism at its best. Paging Michael Moore, get your next film, Sicko, out stat. GRADE: B+

- Hello and welcome!
I hope you have had a great Christmas and that your stockings were full of gaming paraphernalia. As the year comes to an end I carry out an extensive review of the organised play, opening hours and stock choices throughout the store. This year is no different and over the coming weeks I'll be putting together articles on all of these areas. I'll be kicking things off with a lighter article on the store itself and the new hours of the store.
Come 2017 our opening hours will change to the following:
These hours will begin on Wednesday January 4th. So why the hour changes?
Monday hours allows us to process weekend orders a lot quicker than we have been able to recently. This also allows us to complete orders for the Chelmsford Magic Club on Monday evenings, meaning orders placed before 4pm can be processed and brought along. Finally it allows us to get the weekly schedules out on social media a day earlier.
As the store requires a day to be closed, the best option for this is Tuesday given we have no events scheduled and it tends to be the quietest day.
Wednesday and Friday will remain the same with Magic scheduled in the evening.
On Thursdays the store will now close at 7pm. X-Wing will regretfully be removed from the store evening schedule whilst Pathfinder will continue after store closes. More on how these changes will be outlined in their respective articles.
Saturdays now offer even longer hours! This allows us to run events for longer, run all day gaming sessions for various systems, offer longer board gaming days and offer up a number of evening sessions/side events.
Sunday hours will remain the same with some Sundays open for longer for events.
Further details of how this affects each gaming system will be released in various articles over the coming weeks.
There will be changes to the store relating to laying it out better, trying to create more space and have more visibility of events in store. On top of that I'll be working on a few projects I'm keen to put in place in the near future. Store rules will be reviewed, simplified and made more visible in store. Please do read the updated store rules and abide by them.
I'll be getting the stream set up again for coverage. I'll be kicking it off with Magic streams, the first of which will be the 21st January to coincide with the first Challenger Series event. The stream on the whole will remain the same as it has been in the past, but with changes to the overlay. The aim is to have this available for the FNMs and Challenger Series events with other events added when possible.
I'll also be putting together a lot more coverage of our events online meaning more photos, video coverage, standings and tournament reports. Notices regarding coverage will be added to the store and if you prefer not to have your picture taken or be on stream, then don't hesitate to let me know.
That's all for this article with more coming throughout the next few weeks. Each system will have an article related to it and I'll have an update of all other store related updates such as Facebook and the website.
Nick Taylor @nickxt Nick now spends most of his time running Xtreme Trades and has certainly curtailed his competitive Magic playing for the time being. However, if there's a draft slot going and is free he's more than happy to join in.Best Gaming Performance? GP London 2011 top 8, played multiple Pro Tours, a World Championships and European Championships.Favourite Format? DraftFavourite Deck? TEPS or any form of old extended storm decks.Lifetime Pro Points: 23

TIP of the WEEK: Facing Big Changes
Graduations, moving, new jobs- these are all major life changes that effect all of us. For those who struggle with even minor transitions, these big events take careful planning.
1. Focus on what will be the same. Find similarities from past experiences to soften the transition and create sameness. If they enjoyed certain aspects of past jobs or places that they lived then focus on what will be similar in the next job or living arrangement.
2. Allow for stress. Make time to wind down, even more than usual. Take frequent breaks in the day and keep expectations low in the beginning. Slowly add tasks and demands when you notice a decrease in anxiety.
3. Be proactive. If you know that this next chapter will bring changes to routines then be ready with new schedules and frequent reinforcers for making it through each step.
I don't think anyone could say it better than our recent graduate, Ayanna. Her words for her fellow students shows us that even the biggest changes can be met with wisdom and grace.

(OTCQB: SRNA), a company focused on the acquisition of cannabis industry related intellectual property, disruptive technologies, assets and scalable operating companies, today announced it has been selected to present on two panels at the high profile, Colorado Cannabis Summit in Denver on Thursday, May 22nd.
The Colorado Cannabis Summit (www.co-cannabis-summit.com) is the first conference of its kind to specifically discuss the issues facing businesses in the legal recreational cannabis industry. With Surna acting as title sponsor, the summit features industry leaders and expert panels focused on topics such as Product Testing & Safety, Buildings & Security, and Best Practices for Human Resources, Marketing and more.
Surna Chairman and CEO, Tom Bollich, will be discussing Technology Updates for Growers. This panel of industry leaders and consultants will discuss the latest technologies in the cannabis industry and how they can lead to increased yields and lower costs.
Tae Darnell, Surna's Vice President and General Counsel, will discuss regulations and tax updates for the legal recreational cannabis industry as part of the Regulation and Tax Update panel.
The Summit is expected to draw a large audience from around the US as well as overseas. Surna will host a tradeshow booth at the Summit for high visibility networking with prospective customers, resellers and other industry strategic allies. The Company is continuing to accept private meeting requests from Summit attendees, especially those traveling from out of state.
"We're looking forward to a good turnout at the Summit, with the industry's leaders as well as a large mix of startups, consultants and vendors," said Surna VP and General Counsel Tae Darnell. "The Summit provides a fertile opportunity for discourse and growth."
"Colorado is the US' epicenter of the legal and regulated marijuana industry," said Surna Chairman and CEO Tom Bollich. "This is an important conference, and we are excited Surna will be featured prominently reflecting our growing leadership position."

Eschrichtius robustus
|Scope: Europe
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Eschrichtius robustus (Lilljeborg, 1861)
|Regional Assessments:
Common Name(s):
Eschrichtius gibbosus Erxleben 1777
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Regionally Extinct (Regional assessment) ver 3.1

|Greg Donovan and Philip Hammond
The gray whale has been Regionally Extinct since the 1700s or earlier.
|Range Description:
|The gray whale was once found in the North Atlantic. Sub-fossil remains, the most recent dated at around 1675, have been found on the eastern seaboard of North America from Florida to new Jersey, and on the coasts of the English Channel and the North and Baltic seas. There are historical accounts of living gray whales from Iceland in the early 1600s and possibly off New England in the early 1700s (Rice 1998). Gray whales are now only found in the North Pacific and adjacent waters.

|This species is extinct in the North Atlantic. In the North Pacific, the eastern stock has recovered strongly from past over-exploitation, and the most recent population estimate is 15,000-22,000 for 2001/02. The western Pacific stock remains at a small fraction of past levels and is estimated to number about 100 individuals, of which 20-30 are mature females (Reeves et al. 2005). It is considered Critically Endangered.
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Gray whales are primarily bottom feeders and are thus restricted to shallow continental shelf waters for feeding. They are largely coastal although they do feed at greater distances from shore on the shallow flats of the Bering and Chukchi seas.
Gray whales feed primarily on swarming mysids, tube-dwelling amphipods, and polychaete tube worms in the northern parts of their range, but are also known to take red crabs, baitfish, and other food (crab larvae, mobile amphipods, herring eggs and larvae, cephalopods, and megalops) opportunistically or off the main feeding grounds.
Most groups are small, often with no more than three individuals, but gray whales do sometimes migrate in pods of up 16, and larger aggregations are common on the feeding and breeding grounds. 'Aerial' behaviour such as breaching and spyhopping are common, especially during migration, and in and near the breeding lagoons of Baja California and mainland Mexico.
|Major Threat(s):
Gray whales have been subject to hunting since prehistoric times, due to their slow swimming speeds and coastal distribution. The North Atlantic population was extinct by the early 1700s although the causes are unclear. Overexploitation was though to have caused the extinction of the western gray whale until Soviet scientists in the 1980s reported a small remnant group summering off Sakhalin Island, Russia. The eastern North Pacific population had reached such low numbers by the end of the 19th century that commercial whaling ceased, but has now recovered to at or near carrying capacity, its abundance showing some fluctuation in response to environmental conditions.
The eastern North Pacific population is subject to anthropogenic threats such as entanglements in fishing gear (Baird et al. 2002), disturbance by vessels and other noise, collisions, and possibly petroleum-related and other contaminants (Moore and Clarke 2002). However, these do not appear to be important for the demography of the population.
|Conservation Actions:
|The gray whale is regionally extinct in European waters, so there are no conservation measures for this species in the region. Gray whales have been protected from commercial whaling by the International Whaling Commission since its establishment in the 1946. Limited aboriginal subsistence whaling is permitted by the IWC for the eastern gray whale and catch limits have been set since the 1970s on the basis of advice from its Scientific Committee.

In my desperation, I would frequently ask for advice from my friends. My friend Gregg, who used to be a GM of a car dealership used to tell me to sell cars. He convinced me that I would be good at it. After a year of thinking about it, I finally decided to try it out. I was hired without much problem, and I began selling Toyotas in November of 2013. I was not wildly successful mainly because I'm not really an aggressive person and I don't enjoy standing for hours doing nothing except staring out into a car lot, waiting to pounce on a customer. I don't really like it when sales people approach me either, but this is another story. In my year and a half at the dealership, I have been able to make a decent income. The way I was able to save up $7000 is detailed below.
When I was flat broke, I took my friend Gregg's advice and started working in car sales. It's important to ask for help when you need it and then take action when someone gives you good advice. It's scary, but in order to go forward, sometimes you have to jump off a cliff and see what happens.
On my days off, I frequently earn income from focus groups. When I was broke, I did research to find the best company in KC that paid the most money for my opinions. I received between $75 and $200 for each focus group event. I've received money for taste tests, I was paid to give my opinion on a court case and a card company paid me and my daughter money to find out which new toy products were the best. This focus group company's website is http://www.qafocussuites.com/ If you have spare time, and you need money, this is worth it. You have to be persistent, though, because you won't qualify for all the focus groups. Also, my best advice to really poor people is that when the survey asks for your income, put down $35,000 per year. That's what I did and I think it's ok to fudge the numbers because you're the one who needs it really bad. The money I received from Q & A Focus Suites when I was flat broke was like heaven. Pursue this if you're desperate for cash.
I also earn money from my videos. I enter contests if there's a cash reward. I also receive a small amount from Google for my YouTube videos. In all, I've probably made about $500 from Google, a few thousand in winning video contests and a few more thousand making videos for people and companies. I recently won a $550 cash award for video contest that my dealership sponsored.
I've learned from entrepreneurs that it's really important to have many sources of income. It's my goal to have 5 different solid sources of income in the future.
In 2013, me and my daughter were living in a room that cost $500 per month. This $500 included everything. I had no other housing expenses. I lived in a Hyde Park mansion with a family of 10. This was a co-housing situation. We had full access to the house, including the kitchen, yard, living rooms and pool. It was a positive experience, but after a while, I felt cramped and wanted my own space. I began looking for houses. It was a scary experience considering I would be in debt for 25+ years. The thought of being tied to an expensive mortgage was too frightful. Then I had a dream. In the dream I was peering over my father's shoulder to see how much he had left to pay on his house. In the dream I could never determine how much he owed. When I woke up from the dream, I knew what course I should take. I should take over the mortgage, considering it would be a lot less than starting from the beginning of a mortgage. I found out that he owes $50,000 on the 5 bedroom house and he pays $450 per month. So, now I pay the $450 mortgage payment for a 5 bedroom house. When I pay off the $50,000 I will own the house. So now we all live together and my child care costs have evaporated with the move. My father frequently watches my daughter while I work late. We all split the costs for everything. We're also considering renting out one of the rooms on AirBnb to cover more expenses.
My car got totalled last year and I was forced to buy one. I decided that I wanted a low monthly payment. I drive a lot and I'm an environmentalist so I wanted either an electric or hybrid car. The Nissan Leaf's range wasn't good enough, so I decided to get a Prius. Since I work at a car dealership, I bought a Certified 2011 Prius for the invoice price. My monthly payment is $190 and my monthly fuel cost is $80. I bought an oil change program and had that financed. This saved me money to buy the oil change program in advance. Through my research, I learned that the Prius is a very reliable car. It has been so far. My future dream car is a Tesla, so I most likely will not be driving the Prius when the hybrid battery needs to be replaced.
My daughter goes to a preschool. It costs $680 per month. I pay $380 per month because my affluent brother pays $300 per month. In 2013 when I was completely broke, my mother asked my brother if he could help pay for preschool expenses. He said yes and he has paid that for several years. This expense will be ending in two months, so I will be saving that additional $380 per month. Both my parents take care of my child when I am working late, which happens often. Without this help, my life would be pretty dismal.
I might mention here that I am a single mother with no financial help from the baby daddy. I rarely buy new clothes for myself. I don't spend money on booze, movies, bars, concerts, events, or hardly anything. I used to spend money on those things in the past, but my life has changed dramatically. In my free time, I read, write, make art, videos and spend time with my daughter and family. Time is my most precious commodity. I cut my own hair and have done so since I was 18 years old. So, I have saved 27 years worth of hair cuts. Over my lifetime, I've saved about $3,240 by cutting my own hair.
Eating out enhances the quality of my life. As a busy person, I rarely have time to cook on a daily basis. I allow myself to spend money eating out because that's the one luxury that improves my life. I used to feel guilty every time I spent money at restaurants, but I've decided to embrace it now. I deny myself of so many other things, that eating out is the one thing that I feel good about plus it solves many problems all at once.
I have other random expenses and I buy my daughter new clothes, all sorts of extravagant things on special occasions, but I don't buy expensive things on a regular basis. I do buy expensive electronics though, when I need them, as I just purchased the iPhone 6+ and spent nearly $900. It is completely worth it though. It is a great tool. Before I got the iPhone 6+, I had a hand-me-down iPhone 4 from my brother. He's always getting the newest Apple stuff, so he'll give me his older electronics, including the MacBook that I'm currently typing on. I don't have a subscription to a cable company, and I'm on a family plan for my phone, which is much cheaper than an individual plan.
So looking at this list it is apparent that family help combined with not spending money on non-essential things are the two reasons I was able to save up $7000. If I tried to do all this on my own and I spent a lot on myself, I probably wouldn't have a dime. As I create new forms of income, I will write about it. Stay tuned!

They say the best things in life are free, and the second best are expensive.
As a makeup artist, I am always interested in new products that promise to thoroughly cleanse the skin. Yes, it's important to flawlessly blend and combine colors when working with makeup, however, it's equally important to remove your makeup properly to prevent break-outs and acne. A good skin cleansing routine is key.
I've seen countless YouTube reviews, tweets and endless facebook posts about the Clarisonic cleansing system. Curious to see what the buzz was all about, I took a trip to Ulta Beauty with the intent to purchase it. It looked luxurious in the box, and I quickly grabbed one and stood in line. Luckily for me, the line was pretty long, and I was able to come to my senses after staring at the ridiculously pricey tag of $199.00. That trusty voice in my head said "run"! And that is what I did. I put the pretty box back on the shelf, and hightailed it out of there. I made a mental note to look for a dupe of this product.
I searched the web looking for a comparable cleansing system, but even those were still pricy. Coming in at $60-$80, the knockoffs were still not appealing to me. Well, that all changed when I walked into my local Target . As I walked down the aisles, putting items in my cart, I stumbled upon the Acne Free Advanced Cleansing brush. I could not believe that I found a cleansing brush at a price that made me smile, $14.99! Score!
After using this product for a few weeks, I can report that it is working for me. I have pretty sensitive skin and most things irritate my face. I need a product that will aid in removing my makeup and combat my oily skin. The bristles of the brush are very soft and glides across my skin. My face feels squeaky clean, soft and smooth after each use. It removes oil, and my makeup, leaving my face feeling refreshed.
Even though I love my new cleansing brush, honestly, the Clarisonic is more of a visual appeal. I can admit that! I mean, It comes in many colors, different sizes, its own case for traveling, a charger, a base and different cleansing and moisturizing products. Phew! The Advanced Cleansing brush comes with um…well…2AA batteries and 2 brush heads, that's it! Oh, and it's white. No dazzle or shimmery colors, just white. I forced myself not to focus on the aesthetic appeal of the Clarisonic but more on what it is intended to do, which is clean my face! And that is what my Target knockoff is doing. Hey, mind over matter, right?
Here are some product specifics if you are interested in purchasing either of these cleansing systems.
Acne Free- Advanced Cleansing Brush Benefits:
- Ultra-soft bristles that gently exfoliate and deep clean pores.
- Cleans deep to unclog pores, remove impurities and exfoliate your skin.
- Removes dirt, oil and makeup trapped in pores
- Helps skin absorb treatments
- Reduces oily areas
- Gently exfoliates
Clarisonic cleansing benefits:
- Leaves skin feeling and looking smoother
- Removes impurities that keep creams and serums from working their best
- Gentle enough to use twice a day
- Reduces oily areas, dry skin patches and blemishes
- Minimizes the appearance of visible pores
Basically, both products promise to do the same thing!
With Love,

The Morning Journal (http://www.morningjournal.com)
Thursday, February 8, 2018
A Lorain man accused of killing a 2-year-old boy was indicted on murder charges.
In an indictment released Feb. 8, Andre R. Moore, 30, was charged with four counts of murder, four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of kidnapping and single counts of felonious assault and endangering children in connection to the Nov. 22, 2017, death of Brandon Williams II.
Moore's case was bound over to a Lorain County grand jury after Lorain Municipal Court Judge Mark Mihok found there was sufficient evidence that Moore was involved in Brandon's death.
Brandon's mother, 30-year-old Samone Boykins, also of Lorain, was charged with endangering children through Lorain Municipal Court in connection to his death.
Boykins' case also was bound over to a grand jury, but the panel has not released its findings.
According to Lorain police Detective Tabitha Angello, Brandon received second-degree burns in scalding hot water five days before his death.
Medical professionals told the detective the child had multiple injuries including a fractured rib which already had begun to heal and multiple bruises to his face, inner ear and upper thigh, according to investigators.
Moore and Boykins told Angello they'd not noticed the injuries.
According to Angello, Moore and Boykins shared the same Concord Avenue home in Lorain, along with a pair of juvenile girls who alleged Moore had been abusive to the boy in the past.
"There were several incidents that Mr. Moore had abused Brandon by punching him, grabbing him by the back of the neck and throwing him onto the ground, taking him and lifting him upside down by one leg," she said during the couple's Jan. 22 preliminary hearing. "During the time of some of those incidents, (Boykins) was present and had actually stopped it and told Moore no one disciplines her children."
Moore is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 15 in Lorain County Common Pleas Court.

When I was in the fourth grade I was in love with John Adams. I thought he was the cat's pajamas. Truthfully, this probably had more to do with William Daniels than our second president, as the musical 1776 was the catalyst for my infatuation.
I still love that musical; I have the director's cut DVD. It's perfect for me; it has all the geekiness of being a musical with all the nerdiness of historical drama. Nothing quite warms my heart like the idea that our founding fathers were noble and pure of heart, and occasionally broke into song and dance.
My affections for Mr. Adams have waxed and waned over the years. I couldn't help but feel betrayed when in later history classes I learned of the Alien and Sedition Acts, a series of bills written in the late 1700s, which, if you look them up on wikipedia, I am sure you will discern a frightening familiarity about them. Still it's hard to hate a man who scampered amongst the Second Continental Congress (yes, there were two of them) singing at them to "Vote Yes! (Sit down, John) Vote for independency! (Someone oughta open up a window!)"
My uncoolness knows no bounds.
Sometimes, on the news, they say "The President" instead of "President Obama" and it takes me a moment to remember that they're not talking about Bush. And then I go a little gooey and it's like I'm getting the election results all over again. In a week, or a month, or a year, the gooeyness is going to fade and I'm going to go back to caring exclusively about the issues but right now, for the first time, we have an African American President of the United States. And, I'm nerdy enough to admit that I teared up a bit typing that. Right now I don't care about what kind of a president he's going to turn out to be because I am just so damn proud of US as a nation, so proud that WE elected a black man to be our president. Now, I voted for him because I like him, because I believe in him, because he most closely holds the political opinions and ideals that I hold. But even if he had held political opinions that I disagree with and I had chosen to vote against him I would have been proud of OUR country, because so recently the only thing that would have mattered would have been the color of his skin and he never would have even been nominated. So, now we have an African American President of the United States and in the next four to eight years he is going to prove to be just as capable, intelligent, fallible and human as every old white man who has preceded him.
And now that we have a black man in the White House ANYONE can be president. They've always said that, that's always been part of what people say when they're talking about how great the U.S. is, how ANYONE can be president. You may be poor and hopeless now but if you work hard enough you too can have the American Dream! But it's never really been true before. There's always been the fine print: Catholics need not apply. Jews need not apply. Women need not apply. Blacks need not apply. Latinos need not apply… But not now. Now the door has been opened. And now, who knows? YOU could be president. I could be president! Well, no, not me. I mean, the day I get elected president is the day I emigrate. I would not want to live in a country that has declined to the point where I am considered the most qualified person to lead them. That's pretty much the definition of dystopia. Yeah, so, not me, but you could still so totally be president now!

Jewellery fashion trends in 2013 for autumn have been exciting fashionistas as the latest trends, colors and shapes hit the catwalk. Chunky is in, bold designs and plenty worn at once. A myriad of chunky bracelets worn on a single wrist, chandelier earrings and other large pieces stole the show. Some quirky takes even displayed ornate large chunky earrings worn with a woollen hat. Jewellery has taken center stage as a fashion accessory and is hailing in the change of season with renewed vigor.
Quirky broaches shaped like bugs complete with wings adorned the straps of gowns. Chokers in heavy chains with huge words dangling from them circled elegant necks according to Vogue one of the top Fashion Magazines for trend focus. The colours were definitely autumn inspired, burned orange, soft fire, moss greens and wood. Shapes varied from elegant, but overdone to chunky and geometric.
Some of the older rules of chunky jewellery have fallen away. A plain top worn with an elaborate necklace used to be the way to go, now the pieces are worn with pattern and plaid. Pewter, gold, silver and multicolored stone has made a comeback, mimicking early Autumn. Some of the metals are smooth others are beaten and rustic. Warmth metals and warm stones like tigers eye, or even silver and blues. St. Lauren played around with ideas such as 'biker chick'. Leather jackets, leather mini and biker boots teamed up with feminine bracelets dangling with feather attachments chains and other gorgeous new additions even ribbon. Adding that little element of surprise.
If you cannot afford the designer collection you can still get the look as stores will be filling up with the Autumn inspired Parisian fashion show collections. These pieces are obviously much more affordable for the regular person out there. Keep the tones warm, amber stones, mixed with peach ribbon and shot through with black and silver. Clear glass chandelier earrings with black detail and feathers are still very now. Most earrings sweep to the shoulders to give you an idea of how big autumn jewellery is going this year. Layering is the key. Don't be afraid to add more than two or even up five necklaces at once.
Jewellery is an inexpensive way to completely change your wardrobe plus stay in fashion for the season. Forget about the less is more adage and throw it on, but keep it colour coordinated. Mix pieces that have something in common for example silver with silver or wood with wood. Choker style necklaces in large shapes look gorgeous as the season changes to a cooler temperature creating a metal scarf of sorts. Mix ideas too, with beanies and chandelier earrings, elegant pieces with hard rock chick looks, but focus on one area at a time. Meaning focus on the neck area or wrist. Some can break all the rules and still make it work. It all depends on your own personal flair, but with so many fashion editorials out there you can pretty much buy anything and work out how to mix it up effectively.
Autumn has really inspired people to start buying chunky and daring jewellery and it is a refreshing change to have the focus on such gorgeous accessories.

Well - THIS project was a lot of fun! I whipped it up tonight (it's a fast project) and tried it out with a couple of baked potatoes - we had just eaten supper not long before I did the potatoes so I wasn't really hungry, so I threw the potatoes in the fridge for later, lol. They certainly cooked properly, and there was no fire and no sparks - I rate the project a great success :)
Here are a couple of reindeer zipper bags I've completed - I'm doing a set of 6 - isn't this sweet fabric? It's from one of my trips to Joanns, and it's one of my favorite Christmas fabrics :) The fabric looks a bit washed out in this photo but when I try to brighten it, the color changes too much. This is pretty close to what it really looks like, but it's definitely a lot brighter.

College Costs Play on Stump
Candidates Offer Promises To Needy Students, But No Solutions
WASHINGTON -- John Edwards is offering a free year of college if he's elected president; Wesley Clark is offering two. Joseph Lieberman wants to boost the Pell Grants to needy students by $2,000 a year each. Howard Dean would guarantee $10,000 a year in college loans and grants. And John Kerry is offering a free four-year degree in return for two years of public service.
It's an election year, and the soaring cost of a college education is turning into a campaign issue. But even big promises from the candidates aren't likely...

|Updating files without restarting Tomcat
|Wed, 01 May 2002 10:15:39 GMT
I am using Tomcat 4. I have a .properties file in my WEB-INF/classes part of my work tree, which is read in using a ResourceBundle. My problem is that if I update this properties file it does not recognise the new version until I have restarted Tomcat. Is there a config value I can change so that I don't have to restart Tomcat each time I change the properties file? If there is can it apply to only certain files or sections of the application? I don't want Tomcat to check if .class files have changed everytime it uses them as this isn't necessary and will obviously effect performance.

- The coming out of a sizeable troop of retired persons with a high level of disposable income and increased leisure time. Research indicates that this grouping tends to eat out during the daylight hours as a leisure activity.
- Working women. Married women partake more than sixty percent of all household chores, so easy access to meals is welcomed as one fewer responsibility to undertake. Cost tends to be a considerable factor affecting the preference of this unit, along with the quality of the food.
If you are opening a restaurant in Utica, NE you should
- Make out the greatest location in order to attract passing trade. Unless you are planning to rely on word alone and assemble your trade over a very long period, location will play a significant part in the eventual victory of your dealings.
- Settle down into your schedule (and make sure your employees are accustomed with their chores!) and then invite reviewers from the Utica media to carry out a restaurant appraisal - a good evaluation is expected to boost native appeal in your dealings.
- Make it a certainty you're listed in neighboring food and restaurant guides. This will necessitate enlisting with the Utica holiday handbooks and this will also rally round citizens from farther afield from the direct neighborhood.
- Market in publications perused by your intended listeners. Uticanewspapers and business magazines frequently put forward reasonably costed advertising space.
- Stand out from the crowd by selecting an special illustration or theme and applying it to your interior decoration, personnel uniforms, dinner service and cutlery, and menus.
- Market distinct audiences depending on the time of the day or season of the year. Mutually daytime and evening menus might be provided, with daily specials on hand to vary the routine bill of fare.
- Use special offers to boost trade through slow-moving times, with mid-afternoon offers for students and elderly diners, and special kid's menus accessible to appeal to families. Christmas is a significant occasion for most restaurants, since it offers the chance to expand trade by means of corporate parties and can be a preamble to your restaurant for possible new customers who might return throughout the rest of the year.
As word-of-mouth advertising is of the greatest worth for Utica restaurants, it is essential that your customer service should always be assiduous, rapid and courteous!

I'm a little late to the party discovering the wonderful world of vegetables with Yotam Ottolenghi, a UK based chef. His recipes are inventive, delicious and will satisfy even the most skeptical non-vegetarian eaters.
This chermoula baked eggplant packs a seriously delicious flavor punch. The brightness of the mint and cilantro and citrus tang is balanced by the creamy yoghurt. So easy to prepare and one of my favorite meals so far this year.
I substituted brown rice couscous to make the dish gluten free. Quinoa or buckwheat kernels would also taste great.

With my new reviews I'm going to institute an improved rating system for my movies but I'm also going to suggest how you watch it.
Theater for something you should check out if its still in theaters because it's incredible and to wait until its out or a good quality is available really is a crime (Avatar.) Buy if you should pick up the Blue Ray or DVD when its available as the movie is good and special features included would defiantly be enjoyed (Robin Hood), Download to torrent when at least a TS version is available for movies where movie quality is not important or doesn't affect the quality of the film. Stream if you should wait until its not worth to buy or rent but instead watch it on Apple TV, or Netflix.
Furthermore I have a final say as to if it's a pass just incase I wasted my time to save yours.

The Noble Manufacturing & Supply, LLC Pneumatic Web Tensioner can be used on any press. The tensioner is used for color leads. The problems with the standard braking systems are that they brake the paper roll. As the roll changes diameter, the tension on the web changes as well. Also, speed may change the tension of the web. When you change speeds, the standard brake will cause your registration to move. Bad brake blocks, brake drums and paper roll shafts may cause the registration to move. The web tensioners brake the web only as it passes through the tensioner. This assures that the tension remains the same throughout the roll and the run.
Registration control
Ease to adjust
Paper Waste Control
Lower cost
Easy installation
Low profile
The design used on Urbanite/Suburban roll stands is mounted in the infeed roller center. Other tensioner types are mounted between the roll and the first press in the color lead. They use valuable room. In our design there are no parts between the roll stand and the unit.

The worst, most dangerous person to America is clearly Paula Deen. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she's proud of the fact that her food is f---ing bad for you. If I were on at seven at night and loved by millions of people at every age, I would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it's OK to eat food that is killing us. Plus, her food sucks.

In today's job market, finding the right talent requires speed and precision. COMPAS has re-designed Talent Search to allow users to fully optimize their own database and drastically reduce the time it takes
to find talent. Great Search + Great Talent Engagement = Great Hires
Your database is filled with talent already pre-qualified by a member of your team, yet 64% of ATS/CRM users don't search their own talent pool first. Why? Because most recruiting platforms do not enable users to search effectively, and as a result, have made it more difficult for recruiters to find the right talent.
Robust talent search engines enable recruiters to find and engage with talent faster, which leads to higher quality hires. Due to the subpar search functionality of most ATS/CRM platforms, recruiters will start their search for candidates outside their own platform. This is an issue because your database is filled with pre-qualified talent, and by not capitalizing on candidates you already have at your fingertips, you're wasting time and money.
This can be resolved by leveraging a platform with advanced search technology. A great talent search engine will enable you to choose from a wide array of criteria (education, work history, geographic location, etc.) so that you can narrow down your talent pool and engage with top prospects instantly. If your Talent CRM is inhibiting you from easily, quickly, and effectively sourcing from your existing candidate pool, it's time to identify a better recruiting solution.
COMPAS Talent Search turns your database into the go-to place for candidate sourcing, ensuring that you find top talent 5 times faster. With COMPAS, you will find talent easily, engage with candidates fast, and manage those relationships directly within our Talent CRM.

Ahmedabad: Fourteen policemen involved in
the Ishrat Jahan encounter today alleged there was "serious
groupism and infighting" among senior IPS officers in Gujarat
as a result of which they were being victimised and they have
approached the High Court for transferring the case.
The case relating to the encounter should be transferred
either to CBI or any other Special Investigation Team (SIT)
and there should be no officer of state police on board, they
said in an application before the Gujarat High Court.
Ishrat Jahan, along with three others--Javed Sheikh
alias Pranesh Pillai, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar--had
been killed on the outskirts of Ahmedabad on June 15, 2004 in
a police encounter.
IPS officer G L Singhal and 13 other policemen in the
application alleged that "on account of serious groupism and
infighting among senior ranked IPS officers" they were being
victimised in Gujarat.
The policemen stated that they are anticipating arrest
by the present SIT, which has now virtually become a one-man
team of IPS officer Satish Verma, following the April 21 order
by a High Court Bench comprising Justice Patel and Justice
Abhilasha Kumari.
Singhal and others have contended that handing over
the probe to only one IPS officer would be `prejudicial` to
They also expressed serious apprehensions that Verma
could take coercive steps against them, generate fake evidence
and may falsely implicate them in the case.
In their application, the policemen have said that
"Verma is acting either at the behest of or in connivance
with senior IPS officers, who like Satish Verma are harbouring
personal grudge against them, for reasons best known to them".
The application was urgently mentioned before Justice
Patel today. However, the Court refused to hear the plea
saying that it will be heard in a routine course when the
matter is listed for hearing or along with the main case which
is scheduled to come up again on May 12.
Meanwhile, senior counsel Nirupam Nanavati, representing
the aggrieved police officers, submitted that there was `deep
internal rivalry among the IPS officers, because of which his
clients were being victimised.
Justice Patel, however, said that the division bench
hearing the case was not present. He further said that the
police officers cannot be heard at this stage as they were not
even named accused in the case. They can be heard only after
their arrest, he added.
In their application, the policemen accused Verma of
using `extra legal` investigation methods so as to falsely
implicate them in the case.
They have cited complaints of certain police officials
who had claimed that Verma was employing coercive tactics to
extract statements from them.
Besides Singhal, the 13 others who have moved the
application were Tarun Barot, J G Parmar, D H Goswami, B A
Chavda, K M Vaghela, R I Patel, K S Desai, C J Goswami, M T
Vyas, N B Saiyyed, M N Menat, B R Bharwad and A J Chowdhary.
The Crime Branch which carried out the encounter had
claimed that the four victims were LeT terrorists who had come
to kill Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi.

We need to end child obesity today
September 9, 2010
by GEORGE VOINOVICH
Chillicothe Gazette
Since the mid-1970s, obesity rates in the United States have sky-rocketed for children and adults alike, raising serious concerns about the implications on Americans' health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that annual spending related to overweight and obese Americans is more than $264 billion -- exceeding what we spend on tobacco-related illnesses each year.
Ohioans have been particularly hard hit by this rise in obesity. Today, nearly 29 percent of Ohio's adults are obese, making our state the 13th heaviest in the nation. And, according to the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Ohio's childhood obesity rate is nearly 19 percent.

The Neon Imaginarium
The Duo project exhibition is now officially open. The project was a fantastic experience, and an honour to be involved and be able to learn from my 11 year old collaborator, Audrey! Our collection of works is titled 'Neon Imaginarium" and the work has been inspired by a mutual love for pattern, geometry, nature and colour.
The works feature screen prints on paper & fabric, with patterns made from our own original collaborative ink drawings. Our exhibition include cushions in a variety of shapes, folded paper pyramids that hang from the ceiling, collages, wallpapered walls and paper murals dancing around the installed work.
The show is on now, until the 13th July and incorporates workshops with the Duo pairs – facilitated by the gallery, including a screen printing workshop with Audrey & I in the school holidays as part of their 'Wonder-full Day" events (check out the Lismore Regional Gallery website for more information).

Better late than never, a few images from our time at Sled Fest in Duncannon, PA.
Sled Fest is a rockabilly themed, pre '72 car show held at the Old Sled Works antiques shop. If you've never been to Old Sled Works it's definitely worth the trip. The place is huge and it's jam packed full of collectables. We didn't have a lot of time to peruse with running our stand, but what we did see was awesome. We nabbed a Radio Flyer trike for the wee one (which is now pin-striped!) Definitely planning a trip back.
Along with the show and the antiques, the good folks from Retro Lovely magazine were there. They were shooting pin-up photography at the soda fountain inside.
There was a car show (the event is put on by the Hooligan's Car Club) and also a pin-up contest. A lot of great folks were there including the owners of Atomic Cheesecake pin-up photography (Baltimore).
We made a lot of great connections and had an all around great time. The pre-party the night before at the River City Blues Club (Harrisburg, PA) was great, with awesome bands including Trio Agave, a surf rock band hailing from Lancaster, PA.
See you next year!
