Choosing to do a fundraiser can be an overwhelming task especially when you are coordinating it as a volunteer in your spare time. You want to do something that uses your community's financial and personnel resources wisely.
10 Tips for Choosing Your Fundraiser
1) Determine your needs.
- How much do you need to raise and for what purpose? Create a budget before the year begins and target your fundraising to meet those needs. Limit your group to 2-3 fundraisers per year and remember that parents agree to volunteer because they want to make a difference, not because they want to fundraise. Too many fundraisers can kill parental involvement.
2) Evaluate your resources and options.
- Different types of fund raisers require vastly different resources in terms of volunteer hours and talent. Your success depends on getting your community engaged so be sure you have someone with the time and talent available who knows how to build a successful campaign.
- Do-it-yourself events require more volunteer effort than a professional sales fundraiser. You may keep more of the profit with the event, but a professional company will handle a lot of the work for you.
3) Determine how soon you need the money.
- Event type fundraisers can take months to plan and organize. If you need money fairly soon, a professional sales fundraiser can be started immediately and finished in a few weeks.
- Keep in mind that sales fundraisers will not build community like event fundraisers can but they will provide funds that allow you to provide community building events that are fun and free and help increase parental involvement.
4) Determine your opportunity cost.
- What else could be done with those volunteer hours if you don't spend time on a labor intensive fundraiser? If your best volunteers are tied up with an event fundraiser, they likely will not be available to help with other projects and might experience burn out from all the work.
- Could you create more family nights to help people connect with each other? A technology night might help parents uncover the hidden dangers of online activity for children. The key is to find balance between fundraising and building relationships that form connections within your community.
5) Find out what your community will support.
- What worked in the past and what was a disaster? Survey parents about their feelings on fundraisers, ask teachers who have been around a while, look through old files, talk to parents whose kids are older. When you find out if your community would buy something or would prefer an event, new volunteers may emerge to help.
6) Decide how much time do you want to devote to fundraising.
- Most program leaders say that the ideal length of time to hold a fundraiser is between one and two weeks. Shorter fundraisers can face trouble gaining momentum, and students and parents may lose enthusiasm for fundraisers that drag on too long.
7 ) When is the best time for your group to schedule a fundraiser.
- It is important to consider when other school and community organizations host their fundraisers. Look for weeks when other fundraisers aren't occurring, and try to do something original.
8) Do you want to organize the fundraiser yourself or use a third-party fundraising company?
- Fundraisers run independently are often more original and parents have a greater role in planning. However, they are usually more work for the organizer and often require the assistance of a committee of parents. Using a professional fundraising company can minimize your commitment by allowing a personal representative to do most of the work, including motivating students through the offering of rewards. However, the profit and customer service experience can vary widely among companies. If you do decide to use a professional fundraising company, review the checklist on How to Choose a Fundraising Company.
9) Ask yourself how kids can be involved.
- Can there be an educational component to your fundraiser? Event fundraisers allow kids to help with set up, create signs, or make art that can be sold. Product fundraisers allow kids to learn about setting goals, creating a plan of action and, in some cases, make a sales pitch. Reaching goals and celebrating success builds self confidence in kids and adults alike.
10) Check References.
- If you decide to go with any kind of professional third-party company to help with your event or product fundraiser, there are varying levels of quality and service. It's worth the extra time to investigate claims made and make sure the company you choose has a good reputation, will be reliable and will supply quality products or services.

I am obsessed with this recipe.
If you read my resolution post, you noticed that one of my 2018 intentions is to re-commit to healthy eating. But that doesn't just mean keeping the bad things out — it means putting good things in, like vegetables, protein and whole grains.
We first found this recipe from Budget Bytes a few months back, and with a few adaptations, it's turned into one of our weeknights favorites.
The best part? It's literally ready in 20 minutes.
That's a requirement for dinner these days, which makes it really hard to eat healthy. In fact, I feel like that's our number one barrier. Unless we have a clear action plan for dinner right when we get home, we just end up ordering out. Sigh.
Our version uses pre-packaged coleslaw mix so there is literally zero prep. You add ingredients to the pan one-by-one, and before you know, voila! It's donezo.
Annnnddd the second best part? It's full of veggies and protein — 21 Day Fix and diet-friendly.
Dig in.
Spicy Cabbage Stir Fry
Serves 4
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 lb ground turkey or ground beef (chef's choice)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups coleslaw mix (found in the produce section — I love the version with cabbage, carrots, kale and broccoli)
1 cup dry white rice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/8 cup agave (can also use honey)
1 1/2 tablespoons sriracha*
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Ground black pepper, to taste
1-2 chopped green onion stalks for topping
White sesame seeds for topping
Cook white rice according to package.
Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and saute until browned. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Then add coleslaw mix and saute until wilted.
Mix sauce ingredients (soy, agave, sriracha and ginger) in a separate small bowl using a whisk. Add a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
Add sauce to skillet and mix until combined and hot. Remove from heat.
Plate by putting down a ~half cup of white rice, followed by cabbage stir fry. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and white sesame seeds. Enjoy!
*If you wanted to make this less spicy, try a 1/2 tablespoon sriracha.

Trail 45 Km
Welcome to EcoTrail Stockholm 45 km!
A new trailrunning experience in the Capital of Scandinavia
The race starts at the amphiteater by Stora Skuggan at north Djurgården, part of the national states park founded in 1995. You start off by making your way on the trails in the oak forests along Värtans strand. By an overpass you enter Bergshamras lush streets leading up to Edsvikens south shore. When you enter the palace grounds at Ulriksdals the beautiful linden alleys reinforces the experience of the royal castle from the mid 17th century. You pass over the motor highway via a bridge before the woods and you have to take on the technical trails of Ursviks nature area. When you turn back towards north Djurgården you will need to pass the enriched Hagaparken. This is where our crown princess and family is living, at Haga slott.
You run around Brunnsviken before you run through the University campus and circle back tot he starts. Here it connects to the 16-kilometer trail which circle around Laduviken before you reach Fiskartorpet and the climb up the old ski-slope. Here frequent ski-jumping competitions were held during1920s and 30s. Close to 30000 in the audience was not uncommon. After a passage through the woods it opens up again before you pass Stockholms horse stadium where the competitions of the 1912 Stockholm Olympics were held. Onwards you pass the the passerar man development along Tessinparken on the upper parts of the på övre delarna av district of Östermalm before you enter the big open area of Ladugårdsgärdet, known to everyone as Gärdet. You are almost at the halfway mark and soon you will be able to drink and fill up on some energy as you reach the landmark Kaknästornet.
From there you soon enter a beautiful deciduous forest with narrow up-kept trails. When you have passed Hundudden you cross the bridge that runs over Djurgårdsbrunnskanalen. The trail follows the shore of Isbladskärret before it submerges into the lush deciduous forest which now mainly consists of majestic oak trees. At the well known and well-kept garden of Rosendal the trail merges into a park and walkway. You run passed the parameter of Skansen and Villa Gothem before you pass the tram and run towards Galärparken, next to the Vasamuseeum, where the royal ship from the 17th century is preserved for future generations. At the finish you are treated to an extraordinary view of the city center of Stockholm, framed by the beautiful Strömmen.

Unknown TCP connection ???
Everytime I start windows and login to my account, there is an unknown TCP connection attempt to IP:126.96.36.199, Port:80. The Whois Record shows that this IP belongs to one of the Microsoft servers. Does anyone have an idea which service is responsible for this connection attempt?

I was wondering the same thing on what was accessing that IP address. I found out that it was the "Net Location Awarness" Service. This was done using Process explorer and Process Monitor.
I haven't figured out yet why that service is trying to access the above IP address and port.

Ok update from my last post.
What the Network Location service does is determine whether or not you have a valid and active connection to your local network and the Internet
Registry key \HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet
Has the following parameters
ActiveDnsProbeContent & ActiveDnsProbeHost. Is used to see if you have an active and working DNS server. By confirming that the Host and Content (IP addresses) matches. You can change this from the default.
ActiveWebProbeHost - Where you download the text file from
ActiveWebProbePath - The path and name of the file to download
ActiveWebProbeContent - The contents that should be in that file.
The default is to download a text file call ncsi.txt from www.msftncsi.txt. With the contents "Microsoft NCSI." You can see the file at http://www.msftncsi.txt/ncsi.txt
You can change the values. And have your own text file to download. Not sure if the contents matter or not. I did change them and it seemed to have no affect. But your mileage may vary. Just make sure you have a working web server somewhere on the Internet to download the file. I also assume the path can be what ever you desire.
I changed my values to my own web server and put the file on there. As for the dns settings I just changed them to my server's IP and Name.
I assume this would work for Windows Vista as well. Not sure if Windows XP or 2000 uses the same service.

Thank you fseal and carbotp,
I think I've found two ways to get rid of this TCP connection.
Either you completely disable the Network Location Service (NLA) from Administrative Tools -> Services or you simply add the following key and value to the registry and restart your PC.
The only side effect of this approach is that the system tray icon will misleadingly show you as disconnected.
If this icon bothers you, simply right click on system tray, customize notification icons and turn network icon off.

This week had a few ups and downs. The end was in sight for Todd coming home, but it seemed to go a little slower than usual. And adding another day just made the week even longer. But now we have 2 sleeps left. 2! I can hardly believe it. It has been a very long 10 weeks. When he left I had a tiny little bump, now its out there in full force.
Speaking of the bump, I am 25 weeks today. Crazy that I only have 15 weeks give or take to go. I can't wait to finally meet this little guy and see whether he looks like his brother or sister when they were born. But before that I can't wait for Todd to be able to touch and see the bump that houses our baby boy.
I enjoyed a little quite time to myself at a coffee shop while sipping on a peppermint mocha. Seriously made me feel in the Christmas spirit. I can't wait to get decorating! The crafting has already begun and I went shopping for some super great Christmas fabrics. Can't wait to start sewing all my projects! Co-ordinating pj's for the whole family, yes please.
I made these awesome peanut butter cups from Baby Boy Bakery. Oh so yum. I may or may not have eaten most of them all on my own.
There was some gorgeous blue sky to enjoy today after several days or rain and dark sky. The babies really appreciated being able to get outdoors and play again. And as much as I enjoy rainy weather, it makes me so tired. Blue sky revitalizes me.
I re-did a key rack that used to hang in my craft room with my ruffled totes. I no longer have a craft room and instead of it just being put away in a cupboard I wanted to use it for necklaces and bracelets in my robe. I love it. It used to be orange!
And I have been obsessing over these cute Toms. I want them so much, if I only had the dollars to spare. They may or may not being going onto my Christmas wish list.
And in case you missed it during the week I shared my date night outfit wish list
I was a co-host of the Follow Me Wednesday blog hop. So. Much. Fun. I am slowly working my way through all the blogs that linked up, I just love finding new blogs to read and follow. Fantastic.
I got a heap of great advice from you all about my little man Ryan and our coming baby sharing a room. It is great to hear that it is such a success for so many families. Fingers crossed for us too!
And I also shared a sweet new printable I whipped up to go over my desk as a nice little reminder. I hope you guys like it!
I have some super fun stuff coming this week. Can't wait! Hope you had a fantastic week and that the coming week is full of joy.

Current Events And Agenda
So...hi everyone! It's been a minute since I've officially posted on my blog. Been busy working on stuff and allowing inspiration to take its course. I have a batch of new blog posts coming this summer season as some of you may have seen if you follow me on the social media. I decided to write a post filling everyone in on what's currently happening in my world and what's on the agenda.
In my world there's never a dull moment. It's always an adventure even if I don't want it to be.
Roundup Post
Today I decided to-do a roundup post of all my recent posts that gained a lot of attention via readership. My 26th birthday is next month! So, for the month of March I am going to be opening up in ways I haven't yet to you guys. I have a few fun posts planned, along with some BTS (Behind-The-Scenes) and insights to the future of my career. Until then, enjoy these previous posts and be sure to catch up so you don't miss out on anything!
I can't believe it's going to be 3 years this month since Who I Am: Poetry gave my career the jumpstart it needed. I put some thought into this post as I reflect on what this represents for me as I'm turning 26 this year.
I went from a person left to feel worthless to trending across social media, published by magazines, gaining thousands of social media followers which has allowed me to do other projects and continues to open doors for me. I went from a brown hair guy with acne on my face to a blonde doing photo shoots and blogging about my life.
I don't know about you, but literally my mind is always all over the place. One second I'm on top of the world, then I enter a state of panic and it feels like everything around is ending. It's so dramatic I can't even deal sometimes. It leaves me mentally exhausted. Organizing stuff I simply don't find it fun and honestly I dread the task, so I would push it aside—a big no-no if you crave a peaceful mind and need to get stuff done. Trial and error played a huge factor in finding the right formula for myself and I'm going to share 7 of my own fabulous secret tips that help me keep my life in order…most of the time.
As my boyfriend always says, If I am going to do something it has to be on my terms only or I won't do it. With these tips and tricks I was able to get organized on my terms!
From being publicly body shamed and gay bashed on social media. Receiving unsettling career news and unexpected family health scares. Celebrating 4 years with the man of my dreams, revealing my transformation, breaking new barriers in my career and the official launch of my lifestyle blog. This year seriously flew by, who's with me when I say that? Today I caught a breath and looked back. It was wild…check out my 2017 summary and the lessons I was able to learn as my blonde ambition took off like never before.
I still slay while the weight of my world is on my shoulders

Queen Of Drama Demo
I was supposed to release an EP this year so some of my music listeners got mad at me but fear not if you are one of them sending comments, here is a DEMO of a song from the summer sessions.
A lot of craziness went down this year and I needed to refocus myself on my novel series, my lifestyle blog and other writing projects.
The next time I release a music project it will be much more polished and refined. I need to work with a variety of different people and meet with them before I put the energy and time into something this extensive because I want to showcase my talent different from what has been done music wise for me. If you enjoy my music, hope you enjoy this demo! Thank you! Stay Cute, xoxo

11 Simple Growth Hacks To A Happier Life

Introduction — June 19, 2017
Iran's missile strike on militants in Syria confirms what has long been suspected. Namely that efforts to prevent Tehran from acquiring sophisticated military hardware simply aren't working. If anything they are counterproductive, instead of preventing Iran from acquiring the latest military technology from others they've forced it to develop its own hi-tech military hardware and, judging by Sunday night's performance they're coming along nicely.
Of course Iran doesn't have an indigenously developed air superiority fighter to take on America's F-22. At least not yet, but it has developed missiles, radars, guidance systems and drones so that in many areas of military technology it is catching up, if not already on par, with the West.
Meaning that if a military confrontation took place the West's technological superiority will not be assured.
That's why we don't hear the U.S. talk about "all options" being open in dealing with Iran. The implied threat doesn't work anymore. When it comes to military technology Iran can hold its own and they know it, as do the Pentagon.
The missile used in Sunday's strike is thought to be the Zolfaghar medium range surface-to-surface missile, which was developed from the earlier Fateh 110. Ed.
ISIL's Senior Commander, 360 Terrorists Killed in IRGC Missile Strikes in Deir Ezzur
Fars News — June 19, 2017
A senior ISIL commander along with at least 360 other terrorists were killed in the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)'s missile attacks on their bases in Deir Ezzur, field sources said.
According to the sources, Sa'ad al-Husseini, nom de guerre Abu Sa'ad, a senior Saudi commander of ISIL was killed in the Sunday evening airstrikes.
Also, early reports confirmed that the missile attacks have inflicted heavy damage on ISIL and killed at least 360 terrorists.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps launched 6 missile strikes at ISIL centers in Syria's Deir Ezzur in retaliation for the June 7 twin terrorist attacks in Tehran, the IRGC said in a statement issued on Sunday, adding that the mid-range missiles were fired from bases in Western Iran.
"The Takfiri terrorists' command center, concentration points and logistical centers used for assembling cars for suicide attacks in Deir Ezzur region in Eastern Syria came under attack by the IRGC moments ago in a move to punish the terrorists for the twin attacks on the Iranian parliament and the holy shrine of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, on June 7," the statement issued by the IRGC Public Relations Office said.
"A number of mid-range ground-to-ground missiles fired from the IRGC Aerospace Force bases in Kermanshah and Kurdistan provinces targeted the Takfiri terrorists in this operation and struck them with lethal and crushing blows," the statement said.
The statement further added that according to intel and reports, "a large number of Takfiri terrorists have been killed and their equipment, systems and weapons have been destroyed" in the operation.
The IRGC cautioned that the missile strikes were just a warning to deter any further action by the terrorists. "The IRGC warns the Takfiri terrorists and their regional and trans-regional supporters that they would be engulfed by its revolutionary wrath and flames of the fire of its revenge in case they repeat any such devilish and dirty move in future."
An hour later, the IRGC put the number of the missiles at 6, and said that they flew through Iraq's airspace.

To address the issue of gender gap in the tech industry, IBM UK created the Girls who Can community to give young women in IBM a helping hand through networking opportunities, technical education, community outreach, and social programmes.
By Sharlene Ghandi
The tech industry is still struggling to close the gender gap. Reshma Saujani, who founded the Girls Who Code initiative in 2012, has emphasized that despite all the media attention paid to the lack of diversity in tech, the tangible impact is still not being felt. Perhaps we need to encourage girls earlier, she suggests – in middle school, high school, and following up throughout university to encourage young women to consider working in a field that may seem homogeneous from the outside.
There is yet another step along the way where we can keep encouraging women to work in the tech field– in the workplace itself. Workplace learning and networking opportunities within the tech industry can facilitate an environment in which women feel comfortable developing their skills, making a tangible contribution to the company, and working on their own self-efficacy beliefs.
In order to do so, companies must not only foster diverse workforce, but also celebrate the workforce. At IBM, we pride ourselves on being front-runners in the diversity game. A Harvard Business Review article outlines our continuous commitment to not only hiring minorities, but to celebrating diversity of opinion by allowing for career progression, and putting qualified minorities in executive, C-Suite positions. We celebrate diversity by knowing our people, and knowing what they need by paying attention to what makes us all different.
The Girls Who Can community at IBM is one such group that celebrates having women in technology, and simultaneously recognises and attempts to bridge the gaps that women in tech may face. Girls Who Can is a UK-based community for young professional women in the IBM Foundation scheme, our early professional programme hiring interns, apprentices, graduates and gap-year students. With 42% of our young professional scheme being filled with young women, the Girls Who Can community gives young women in IBM a helping hand through networking opportunities, technical education, community outreach and social programmes.
The annual Raise the Roof event serves the purpose of allowing our young professional women to meet each other, meet those who have progressed off the Foundation scheme, and meet female executives further up within the company to hear about the diversity of stories and wealth of opinions that exists within the organisation. This year's event featured a wide range of speakers, all providing varied perspectives on the hot topic of women in tech. Not only did we have a presence of different business disciplines, such as Cognitive, Systems, and HR, but we also had the pleasure of hearing from Sophie Montagne, from Project Ice Maiden, a team of women aiming to cross the Antarctic coast-to-coast.
The event functioned not only as an educational and networking opportunity, but also as a safe space in which we could discuss our role as women in one of the biggest tech firms in the world. We were able to openly suggest tangible solutions, take advice from one another and go for a cheeky celebratory drink at the end – after all, diversity is something to be celebrated indeed!
Here are my three key takeaways from this year's Raise the Roof event:
- Make sure you shout about what you do – it is not enough to do it without celebrating your achievements.
- Believe in your ability to make a tangible difference – get rid of the Imposter Syndrome.
- Don't be afraid to push buttons that have not previously been pushed.

I have had a WD My Cloud personal Cloud device for several years. For some reason it has stopped working and I can no longer access the drive. I removed the hard drive from the enclosure, and it is a WD Red 4 TB, but it has a proprietary software on it that won't let me format the hard drive to use outside of the My Cloud Enclosure.
I put the hard drive into an enclosure, and Apple Disk Utility app can see the drive, but won't let me do anything to it, can't delete partitions, can erase..nothing!
The drive has been sorted into 7 different partitions and are labeled disk4s1 - disk4s7.
Anyone know of a way, or app, that will let me wipe the hard drive so I can use it outside of WD My Cloud?
I've attached a screen shot of the Disk Utility.
Thank you in advance!

For my 1 year 12 quilts, this block is for Geri. She had this adorable doll pattern piece that she wanted us to use. Then she asked us to embellish it for us. This was the August block! I had my September blocks that I sent out.
|I added hair to her, she just seemed to need it! I really like how it turned out, and I think that even if she washes her quilt, I made it so it won't fray.
|Isn't she pretty? I like the necklace too!
|I was trying a new thing, I stitched in white beads to the hem of the skirt
For the Pretty in Pink Bee, this is for Lisa. She wanted a string bee. I did the traditional type of block and then made two long rectangle blocks.
|I can't remember completely but I think this is a 10" block
|I think this is the more traditional string block
|This is the two rectangle blocks. I really liked the colors that she picked and I can't wait to see what she puts together!
|She wanted a Christmas tree block. Any type of trees we wanted. Last night I just went to town and enjoyed making a wonky style block
|When I was putting this one together I accidentally sewed my bottom piece on before I added the "log" oops. Oh well I am really enjoying this look better. I originally was going for up and down stripes.
|This was more of a free hand wonky tree
|Here is her collection of trees! She has some nice trees! It is going to be one pretty quilt!

Thousands of Palestinians celebrate with fireworks as Israel releases 26 prisoners
Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas welcomes the released Palestinian prisoners on Tuesday (AFP)
Israel on Tuesday released 26 Palestinians from prison as its first offour such releases as one of the conditions for "peace process"negotiations with the Palestinians to proceed. The 26 were welcomedas heroes in the West Bank and Gaza, where thousands of Palestinianwell-wishers cheered their arrival as fireworks lit the sky. The 26have all been prisoners since before the 1994 Oslo peace agreement,and had been convicted of crimes such as murder or terrorism.Relatives of the Israeli victims held protests all day, and someprotesters tried briefly to block the buses from leaving. The "peacetalks" between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators are scheduled tobegin on Wednesday. AP
Israel's 'Iron Dome' anti-missile system intercepts Sinai rocket
With terrorism increasing in Egypt's Sinai region, which is on theborder with both Gaza and Israel, concerns have been growing of rocketattacks on Israel from Sinai. On Tuesday, terrorists in Sinai firedrockets into Israel, targeting the southern city of Eilat. At leastone rocket was intercepted by Israel's "Iron Dome" anti-missilesystem. No missiles struck Eilat. The Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis jihadigroup claimed credit for launching several Grad missiles, blaming theattack on last week's never-confirmed missile strike on Sinaiterrorists by an Israeli drone. Jerusalem Post and Reuters
China's propaganda program frightens opponents and stirs domestic nationalism
During crises earlier this year between China and the Philippines overthe Scarborough Shoal, and between China and Japan over theSenkaku/Diaoyu islands, the Chinese media contained regularappearances of People's Liberation Army (PLA) figures makingthreatening and hawkish statements. While some China analysts calledthese remarks "reckless statements, with no official authorization,"they were remarkably effective. On the one hand, they stoked Chinesenationalism, leading nearly 80% of the Chinese people to supportmilitary action and war against the Philippines for the latter'saccept a new status quo: the Philippines backed down completely andceded the Scarborough Shoal to Chinese ships, while the Japanesebacked down partially, forced to accept almost daily confrontationswith Chinese patrol boats around the Senkaku Islands. Although notofficial Chinese policy, the PLA's "hawkish faction" appear integralto Chinese handling of international conflict. Jamestown

Allslots Casino sounds exactly like a place where every gambler wants to be. This relatively new Malta-licensed casino runs on Microgaming's Quickfire platform and offers around 200 games which are playable on the website or, in many cases, on your mobile phone or device. We took it for a spin to see if it was a cut above the multitude of other Microgaming casinos.
Software and games selection
Lucky 247 Casino uses perennial favourite Microgaming to supply its collection of 200 or so casino games. All the games are playable in browser, and a smaller number are also available for play on your phone or mobile device. I am told that a downloadable version of the casino is due for release in the near future, but for now it's "instant play" only. The website is organised as we have come to expect browser based casinos to be these days: i.e. a grid of pageable game logos, with the ability to search on the game title and/or narrow down the games displayed by category. It does the job well enough but is nothing that you haven't seen before.
The most popular Microgaming slots are present, including Immortal Romance, Thunderstruck II and Break Da Bank Again, as are a range of progressive jackpots, including the famous The Dark Knight and Mega Moolah. For table game afficianodos, theres a wide selection of roulette, blackjack, baccarat and video poker. The bad news for table gamers though, is that Lucky 247 does not have any live casino games. I found that all games ran smoothly across PC and mobile platforms and I didnt experience any lags in game play which I have seen from time to time at other Microgaming Quickfire casinos.
Banking and customer support
When it comes to deposits, Allslots casino offers players the main options including e-wallets, debit and credit cards as well as a few local payment options such as Euteller and iDeal. You can see the full current list in the summary column elsewhere on this page. When I requested my first withdrawal, Allslots requested documents to verify my details, and this was done within 12 hours. The casino holds all withdrawals for 48 hours, giving you the opportunity (or should I say temptation) to reverse and play with your winnings again. However I am happy to report that a quick request via live chat was enough to have the pending withdrawal immediately flushed and sent to processing. Having said that it was still another 48 hours before the money arrived in my Neteller account, so I'm not sure that flushing the withdrawal made any difference apart from making it impossible for me to reverse.
Allslots has a daily withdrawal limit of 10,000, which is unlikely to inconvenience anyone but the highest of high rollers. However I was disappointed to find that firstly, they don't process withdrawals made over the weekend, and they also have another clause that limits players that win more than 5x their total deposits at the casino to a much more restrictive 4000 per week. On a positive note, progressive jackpot wins are excluded from any payment limits.
Customer support is one area where Allslots Casino definitely lives up to its name. The casino offers 24/7 live chat, email, Skype and telephone support. With so many options and round the clock accessibility, it is simple to find the help you need when you need it. The Skype support in particular is a nice touch and is a good way to save yourself a bit of money as opposed to making an international phone call.
Security and fairness
Allslots Casino employs standard 128-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) digital encryption in order to protect all transactions and gameplay over the Internet. In terms of fairness and accountability, Allslots has earned an eCOGRA seal of approval which indicates that the casino meets the organisation's standards of compliance. They also publish eCOGRA audited reports of the game payout percentages each month which provides a level of comfort that the games are fair and no cheating is going on.

After a long time of hearing about the benefits of using Instagram to connect with fans and promote one's work, I finally caved and signed up for an account (instagram.com/jmdwriteist). Last week I made an announcement on my various social media pages, and just yesterday I began posting images and linked the account to Facebook and Twitter (unfortunately, Google+ doesn't seem to have this option). However, despite the excitement of adding yet another way of connect with people, the growing social media trend creates a bit of a conundrum for me. Read more… ›
Strange things happen and people die as the witch has appeared to escape. Now, the Tal-Ifatiir order is terrified, and they are starting to blame Chadhiyana for all their supernatural misfortunes. ~ From Rosarium Publishing
Sorry. I know I already posted the above blurb from my publisher when I originally wrote my blog piece on the Chadhiyana #3 release date, but I just really love that quote. I know I'm a little biased, but if this book weren't my own, that synopsis would certainly get me to buy this issue. That said, for those of you who do not have a NetGalley account, the wait is nearly over to read what the publisher teases above. Chadhiyana #3 will release within the week. Read more… ›
If you missed my post last Thursday on Facebook, Twitter and Google+, I mentioned that there was a certain document of interest which was placed in my e-mail last week. That particular document is the harbinger of the big news I've had coming for a long time. The end is nigh. And with that, some changes have been made in preparation for its coming. Read more… ›
Unless you're following me on Twitter, Facebook and Google+ (and if you're not, just click the icons on the right side bar to do so), you probably didn't know that late last week I came down with something which left me feverish and out of commission for a few days. I'm feeling the residual effects of that still (mostly a stuffy nose and an aching back from all the lying around, not to mention a severe lack of energy), but I'm much better now and slowly getting back to work. There's a lot to do and catch up on, after all. That said, I don't have much for this week's blog but another quick update and more teasers about some of that upcoming news. Read more… ›
What does one write when he has nothing to write about? I've often asked this question of myself, in various forms, when considering the problem of marketing myself constantly. It's not that I feel self-conscious about marketing myself. (No, indeed! If you ask people who are close to me, very many of them will laugh and tell you how shameless I can be about it. You have to be!) It's that I often question what really is news worthy, or at least worth the time to blog, tweet or post about. Read more… ›

Super Smash Bros. Vs. Batman Arkham Knight: Who'll Win Best Game At People's …
December 27, 2015 - Super Smash Bros
The 2016 People's Choice Awards are days away, and there's been lots of gibberish about that pretension will take home a endowment for best game. The options embody "Super Smash Bros." and "Batman: Arkham Knight" though will they come out on top? Let's summation a nominees!
"Super Smash Bros."
"Super Smash Bros." is another diversion that could have simply been estimable during final year's People's Choice Awards, though a pretension unequivocally came into a possess in 2015. This is mostly interjection to a further of impression DLC that's introduced 5 new fighters to a already vast roster. In fact, that trend is staid to continue with a release of Bayonetta and Corrin in Feb of subsequent year.
Like many games on this list, "Super Smash Bros." is a resplendent instance of how DLC should be rubbed to keep players articulate about a game. Especially for a association like Nintendo that's historically seemed behind a times with courtesy to networking capability, this warrior is a overwhelming achievement.
"Batman: Arkham Knight"
"Batman: Arkham Knight" arrived in Jun of this year, and it valid to be among a year's tip titles. While it didn't mount a possibility opposite "Fallout 4" and "The Witcher 3" among a hardcore crowd, a People's Choice Awards offers an event for mainstream acclaim.
"Batman: Arkham Knight's" many notable item is that it's a good end to Rocksteady Studio's "Batman: Arkham" trilogy. It charity a clever story with a biggest chronicle of Gotham that a array has seen to date, and it let players take advantage of a Batmobile for a initial time. The game's been underneath glow for problems with a PC version, though it plays really good on PS4 and Xbox One.
"Grand Theft Auto V"
"Grand Theft Auto V" was initial expelled in 2013, though there's still copiousness of reason to cruise this aroused Rockstar Games juggernaut for an endowment in 2016. While a single-player mode hasn't stretched given launch, a enclosed "Grand Theft Auto Online" knowledge has grown substantially.
In 2015, players were finally arcane to a rarely approaching online heists update that combined multiplayer raids to an already constrained suite. It's also unfit to omit a drip of DLC that charity new vehicles, equipment and play modes to a knowledge over time. "Grand Theft Auto" fans had been clamoring for an MMO chronicle of this dear mayhem-filled authorization for a while, and "Grand Theft Auto V" is about as desirous and tighten as it gets.
"Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare"
"Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare" was 2014's "Call Of Duty" title, and it didn't disappoint. It touted a slew of unconventional gameplay mechanics that might turn a customary for how a knowledge feels from now on. The using and gunning movement was faster than it's ever been, and those highlights were protracted by a cold single-player debate featuring Hollywood's Kevin Spacey.
DLC also played a purpose in Advanced Warfare's success. From Jan by Sep of this year, 4 map packs supposing deteriorate pass owners with an unconstrained tide of calm to enjoy. There was also a Exo Zombies mode, that blended commune fun with murdering a undead. "Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare" was one of a series' best attempts during charity something new alongside what fans have approaching for years.
"Minecraft" needs no introduction during this point. Dating all a approach behind to 2011, this block-building materialisation still has a mob of ardent fans peaceful to cackle adult any square of calm they can get their hands on.
In 2015, a trend continued. Under Microsoft's ownership, only about each height was arcane to new blocks to build with and new biomes to explore. Its developers during Mojang also took honour in adding protected calm from a likes of "The Simpsons," "Ratchet And Clank" and more. For those that suspicion a "Minecraft" disturb was over, consider again. The diversion was only expelled on Wii U, that means gamers have even some-more ways to get in on a fun.
To find out that of these titles will be crowned best game, balance in to a 2016 People's Choice Awards Jan. 6 on CBS.
Which of these titles should emerge victorious? Is "Super Smash Bros." or "Grand Theft Auto V" a lock? Let us know in a check and comments section!

Here's an odd fact about our site. Over the last couple of months, more people come to our site on Mondays than any other day – by a wide margin. I can look at the site statistics graph and see it peak like crazy every Monday.
Things like that fascinate me for some reason. If you're like me, the weekends are utter chaos and you spend Monday – when presumably you might have a little more free time – trying to figure out how it all went so wrong. Maybe your child is back in school or preschool – after one of those crazy weekends where everyone is off schedule – and it's a good day to look some things up.
So, do you do more autism research online on Mondays? If so, why? Maybe there are some useful insights in here somewhere. Of course, maybe this only interests me. 🙂

OPEESA offers several different newsletters to help you keep up with valuable industry news. The OPE "In–the–Know" newsletter is sent every other month via email to OPEESA members. This newsletter contains the latest news about manufacturers, regulations, and other events that affect the outdoor power equipment industry.
OPEESA Asks EPA to Withdraw its "Waters of the U.S." Proposal
OPEESA has joined with 375 trade associations and chambers from 50 states representing a wide range of industries to voice strong concerns with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' flawed proposed rule to dramatically expand the scope of federal authority over water and land uses across the U.S. and called for the proposal to be withdrawn. The effort was led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
As the groups' comments state, "The proposed rule is really about the Agencies' overreaching attempt to replace longstanding state and local control of land uses near water with centralized federal control. In light of the overwhelming evidence that the proposed rule would have a devastating impact on businesses, states, and local governments without any real benefit to water quality, the Agencies should immediately withdraw the waters of the U.S. proposal and begin again. The current proposed rule is simply too procedurally and legally flawed to repair."
The comments detail several examples of the impacts of the proposed rule, including:
- Maps prepared by EPA show the rule could expand federal jurisdiction over waters from 3.5 million river and stream miles to well over 8 million river and stream miles;
- The rule would make most ditches into "tributaries." Routine maintenance activities in ditches and on-site ponds and impoundments could trigger permits that can cost $100,000 or more;
- These permitting requirements would likely trigger additional environmental reviews that would add years to the completion time for ordinary projects;
- Even if a project can get a permit, firms will often have to agree to mitigate environmental "damage" with costly restoration/mitigation projects;
- The proposal would likely also result in more stringent storm water management requirements, which would affect retailers, companies with large parking lots, "big box" stores, etc.

Most parents spend a good portion of their time and energy in trying to get their young child to nap, but it has gotten to the point in my house where I'm wondering if I should force dropping the nap.
i can imagine you staring at me blankly. "What?" you ask, "Why on earth would you want to do that?"
Well, it goes something like this:
Over the years, I've put in lots of hours sleep training my daughter, Elizabeth, patiently putting her down awake, picking her up and putting her back down again, patting her back, etc., so that she could learn to fall asleep on her own. Once she was weaned of nursing, I read stories to her afternoon and night, and now I have a child who has consistently taken naps for 4 1/2 years. But it just doesn't seem to be working any more.
"Not working anymore?" You wonder, "What does that mean? How does an afternoon break with time to yourself not work any more?"
Indeed, I'll admit, I'm loath to lose my afternoon alone time, it's when I do my best writing, among other things. I especially hate to push her to drop her nap because my toddler often sleeps at the same time, so it's real alone time. But it's not the afternoon nap that's really the problem, it's the nighttime sleep habits that are.
You see, because Elizabeth takes an afternoon nap, usually from 3 – 4:30 or 5 pm, she then doesn't go to bed until 9:30 or 10 pm. Or rather, I finally leave her room after stories at 9:30 or 10, but then she might stay up until 10:30 or 11. More and more, she has also been telling me about instances when she got up to play with her cars during the night, and the other day, she woke my husband up at 5 am because her flashlight wasn't working.
A few days after the flashlight incident, I was putzing in the homeschooling stuff, and with both kids napping, didn't even realize how late it had gotten. Elizabeth slept until 7:15 pm! If I had realized the hour, I probably would have woken her up by 6:30, though it's been my general rule to never wake a sleeping baby. Needless to say, that, though we did our bed-time stories at 10, she did not go to sleep until 11:30 or 12 am!
The consistent occurrence of her telling me that she got up in the night tells me two things:
1. She's becoming more aware of the control she has over her body's voluntary actions.
2. She is probably over-sleeping during the day such that she's not tired enough at night to fall right asleep, nor stay asleep.
I've continued along with the routine we have in place because, besides losing my alone time, making her drop her nap will disrupt the rest of the family's lives. When Elizabeth was younger, like up to 3 1/2, if she missed her nap she was ok, I would just try to get her to bed a little earlier but she could handle it if I didn't. Then the next day was business as usual. Recently, it has seemed like if she misses her nap, she is a bear and needs to go to bed at 6 pm. If she doesn't go to bed early, the last few hours, she is really unpleasant and at some point reverts to biting, kicking, hitting, and scratching if she doesn't get her way (or even if she does). It does no good to threaten a loss of privilege nor take one away, because it doesn't affect the outcome, which is ultimately my fault for not putting her to bed.
However, having one child in bed at 6 or 7 pm hampers the rest of the family as we can't go anywhere in the evenings, makes it so my husband only sees her fleetingly after work, and upsets other routines like dinner and baths. Yet the case for forcing her to drop her nap will result in some good, like giving her and I some one-on-one time. For the past six months or so, the toddler has been napping at the same time as Elizabeth, which is great for me, but since he takes shorter naps than she does, she and I never have time for just the two of us.
Secondly, I'm hoping that dropping the nap will have a positive affect on my sex life, since having Elizabeth up until 11:30 makes me tired waiting for her to fall asleep before my husband and I can have our intimate time together. I am absolutely not interested in having my 4-year-old walk in on us in the act!
Lastly, I figure that eventually, she will regulate her bedtime, and I will be able to push it back until 8 or so and have her sleep in a little later in the morning, rather than from 7 to 7.
Today, I am on day 3 of experimenting with forcing her to drop her nap. For 2 days, she was ok, but kind of resisted bedtime during daylight hours. To compensate for the loss of the comfortable routine story time in the afternoon before her nap, we read stories on the couch while my son was asleep. Today, we did the same, but after her requesting multiple times to go do our regular routine because she was tired, I conceded, and now all is quiet in her room. I guess no where does it say that forcing a dropped nap needs to be all or nothing, as not much in parenting is. My gentle parenting intuition tells me to follow her lead anyhow and if that involves some days without naps and some with, that is ok.
You nod at me, finally understanding. "Are you going to let her sleep til 7 pm again today?" you ask.
No way.
Is forcing a dropped nap something you've ever done? What was your experience? Do you have any suggestions for me?

Typically, organizations use their human resources or personnel department to create job description templates. In some cases however, a departmental group, a manager, or another individual (usually the direct supervisor of a position) might be responsible for creating one. In any case, make sure the creator of the template is familiar with the company's or organization's needs.
Here's a sample of job descriptions, ranked from good to bad. Looking through them alongside their scores makes it obvious why some are better than others, and is a good exercise to teach yourself to get better at writing them.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, has just introduced today a new application for Android-driven smartphones and tablets. He took the stage a little after 1pm at Menlo Park, California, to unveil what the company is calling "FACEBOOK HOME".
If you were waiting for something radically new and different, you will be disappointed! In fact, the long rumored Facebook phone turned out not to be a phone at all. Facebook Home is something more than an application, and slightly less than an operating system. The idea behind it is to bring Facebook content right to the home screen of your phone or tablet that makes it easier for people to spend more time with Facebook.
The company's new Facebook Home Android experience will coming to a brand new phone from HTC, the HTC First, which is at best a mid-tier device. This is the first Facebook Home optimized phone in the world. In other words, this is a mid-level smartphone (by Android spec standards), customized with Facebook Home.
The new HTC phone, integrated the service will be available starting April 12, with AT&T Inc. as the carrier, for a price of $99.99. You will choose between four colors: black, white, red and pale blue and is designed to be big, but not too big.
HTC calls it "the best Facebook experience" and the "only phone with Facebook Home pre-loaded and optimized." These optimizations mean that notifications for emails and calendars will come built-in to Facebook Home. It's also the first phone to ship with Instagram pre-loaded.
The genius of the Facebook phone is that the company finally made a phone without making a phone at all!Image source: https://live.facebooklive.com/ http://media.cmgdigital.com/shared/lt/lt_cache/thumbnail/400/img/photos/2013/04/04/f7/c4/Facebook-Mobile.jpg http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/blogs/future_tense/2013/04/04/facebook_phone_htc_first_on_sale_april_12_for_99_with_facebook_home_preinstalled/att_facebook_phon.png.CROP.rectangle3-large.png

Holiday Home Tour 2015
Hello! I'm so excited to be participating in this years Holiday Home Tour, hosted by Laura from The Avery Grace. There are quite a few bloggers participating, and I can't wait to see how everyone decorates their homes. This year was fun for me because we just moved into our new house at the beginning of August. As we unpacked our Christmas boxes, it was fun to start all over and find new "homes" for our special decor. My style is definitely eclectic - I tend to gravitate toward natural elements, neutrals, greens, and of course anything artsy! Oh, and I LOVE trees so I try to find new ones to add to our collection each year. My favorite are the driftwood ones I found at Home Goods Store a few years ago! Each year I tend to make something else to add to the decor. One year was the tree skirt, another glitter ornaments (which is why my hubby banned glitter from our house), and this year I did a chalkboard/wreath thing over the mantle. Half of our ornaments are handmade, and just about everything we put out has some special meaning to it. Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the tour!
Make sure to check these other amazing sites all week as they showcase their homes. And I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!

Court Liaison Program
The Perfect Solution
With teenagers, it is not uncommon for substance abuse to go hand-in-hand with legal issues. In fact, legal issues, whether it's a possession charge or a DUI, are often the catalyst for teens receiving help for drug and alcohol abuse.
Whether a judge has ordered treatment for your child or you have concluded that your teenager needs inpatient treatment, we can help. Your teen's legal problems don't have to stand in the way of them receiving the help that they deserve. That is why the Court Liaison Program may be the perfect solution for your loved one.
What is the Court Liaison Program?
The Court Liaison Program, which is overseen by our supervising attorney, allows teenagers to fulfill their legal obligations while simultaneously receiving drug and alcohol treatment. The goal of the program is to alleviate your teen's legal worries so they can focus on healing. This, in turn, will give you and your teen a peace of mind.
What Does the Program Offer?
The Court Liaison Program is integrated into every aspect of the treatment process, from admissions to clinical decisions to aftercare planning. Our experienced staff will facilitate communication between your teenager and the appropriate legal parties.
Through the Court Liaison Program, your teen can receive any of the following services:
- Staff court appearances
- Progress reports
- Compliance with court-ordered treatment
- Confidential meetings between patients and legal representatives
- Drug and alcohol assessment scheduling
- Facilitation of community service hours
- Nationwide attorney referrals
- Direct communication with probation officers
- Public defender and private attorney coordination
- Certification of completion
With evidence-based treatment and close supervision, your child can fulfill their legal obligations while in recovery.
Legal Issues Shouldn't Interfere with Recovery
Rest assured your teenager will be in excellent hands at Teen Treatment Center. Our legal staff has handled cases from various jurisdictions in the United States. We have successfully worked with drug courts and court-ordered diversion programs.
If your son or daughter has pending legal issues and needs substance abuse treatment, call us 24/7 at (844) 319-5239. Our admissions counselors can discuss how the program will benefit your child.
The Court Liaison Program is a service of Teen Treatment Center and should never be considered formal legal representation. Hiring a private attorney for personal representation is a serious decision and is always recommended by our Court Liaison Program.
Teen Treatment Center has been awarded
the Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval.

Remember the days when MTV and VH1 would actually play music videos? Yeah me neither-luckily for us we have outlets like Vimeo and Youtube to bring those glory days back. Case and point, all the Lady Gaga's music videos. Beyonce's new video for her latest single, "Why don't you love me?", is a great music video, even cooler song, but her wardrobe in the video is KILLING IT SON!
She channels a 60's desperate house wife, with outfits inspired by the biggest icons of the decade including Betty Page, Marilyn and Jackie O. Now why can't more pop stars would be more fashion savvy like Queen B?!

** (out of four)
Even without James Franco and Danny McBride threatening to ejaculate all over each other, "This is the End" would be an aggressive, misguided demonstration of self-love.
A comedy in which Franco, McBride, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson and more familiar faces play themselves confronting the apocalypse didn't inherently have to be a Hollywood ego-fest. In brief moments, the film (co-directed and co-written by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the scribes behind the awesome "Superbad" and hilarious "Pineapple Express") suggests its stars' doubts about the emptiness of their contributions to the world while having fun with certain public personas. According to "This is the End," meek Michael Cera is actually a coke-snorting, one-man wrecking ball, more likely to smack Rihanna's ass and hook up with two girls at once in a bathroom than stammer his feelings into a sweatshirt's hood.
