What are Funyuns?
"Why don't you eat those," I ask Maddie, referring to the pile of onions she had left on her plate.
"I think it's mostly a force of habit now."
"Eat them," I urge. "They don't taste like anything."
"I know."
"They just taste like onion, cooked onion."
"What are funyuns?" asks Erica.
"Funyuns are gross," says Maddie.
"Have you ever had them Dad?" asks Erica.
"I don't know. What are they?"
"I never had them either. They're really good."
"I thought you never had them?" says Maddie.
"Yeah I did."
"I though you said you never did."
"I never had them until today."
"Who had those?" I ask.
"Someone at the lunch table. They're really good."
I still don't know what funyuns are.
Fat Man Mowin'
"Tell Dad about that guy who was painting the field."
"Well," begins Daniel, "there was a fat guy painting the field there, and he couldn't get the machine to start, so he sat on it, and started it, and it started shaking, and went ehr, ehr, ehr, ehr, ehr… " he mimes a person locked into a paint mixer. "A real chunky guy, and he was going…" he mimes a man sitting on a riding mower with octagonal wheels "…all the way down the field. Everyone was trying not to laugh."
"You know how Daniel does that little chuckle? We were walking out and he goes 'huh, huh, huh. Mom…' You know how he does that? That's Daniel's giggle."
"Huh," says Daniel, smiling at the memory of a shared moment with his Mom. "Huh."
Pigeon Toes
"Do you think I'm pigeon toed?" asks Erica.
"No," says Mom.
"I'm not," says Daniel.
"Good," says Erica
"Am I pigeon toed?" asks Linn.
"Yeah. You are," says Mom.
"You're pigeon brained," I say.
"Am I pigeon toed?" she asks again, looking at me.
"No. It's when your feet point in."
"Oh, you're pigeon toed," says Linn.
"Yeah, but isn't that from wearing shoes that are too small?" asks Erica.
"You're pigeon toed," Linn tells me again.
"What's that?" asks Erica.
"It's a deformity."
"Dad, you're pigeon toed," Linn says a third time.
"Yeah, all your toes point in."
"No, your feet. Your whole foot points in like this." I show her with my hands.
"Ohh. Those pigeon toes."
"That's weird," says Erica.
Lindsey's Fat
"Erica," Mom asks. "Did you have two sausages?"
"Did Erica have two sausages?" Mom asks me.
"No, I didn't. Right Dad?" Wink wink. "Right?"
"Yes, you did."
"I know."
"I didn't have two sausages," says Linn.
"Lindsey did not."
"Well that's cause Linsey's fat," says Erica.
Linn glares at her sister.
"I'm just kidding."
"I can barely… I don't even want to eat every day! Sometimes I don't even eat my lunch!"
"That doesn't mean you're fat."
"Oh, well I have to come to school and make sure you are eating your lunch and not throwing it away," says Mom.
"I eat two sandwiches every day at lunch," says Erica. "I can't not eat. I eat my nails. I get really hungry."
"How come you're not fat?" asks Linn.
"I'm a responsible person."
"You eat every day!"
"Yeah, and I exercise."
"I think it's because Erica's growing," says Daniel.
"No, it's because I exercise; a lot."
"When you eat fat, you don't get fat."
Now, I think Lindsey said this because Erica does eat fat, looks for and chooses the fattiest pieces of meat in fact, despite our warnings, admonitions, and commands not to because it's bad for you. But Erica has almost no body fat and Linn still has some of her "baby fat," so I can understand why she might think this. I'm not quite sure how to fix this misconception, but I do know that I have a lot of work to do.
Linn has about ten more years' worth of dinners at our house before college. That's three-thousand, six-hundred-and-fifty dinners where I have to make sure that she is not eating animal fat to be thin. Yeah! On the plus side, maybe I'll have less time to eat. I could stand to lose a few pounds myself…

Robin and her team understand. Robin has been serving the community for many years and she's helped many homeowners through many real estate cycles, both good and bad. The key to success in either is having information — sound information so you can make the best decisions to protect your financial future.
The current market cycle has been extra heartbreaking for many homeowners. Unfortunately, Robin has seen many homeowners, good people, lose their house when they didn't have to.

As a homeowner, you may have options that you aren't aware of that can help you avoid foreclosure. Options, including conducting a short sale, might be available to you.

Robin and her team have seen too many homeowners lose out when they may have had options to avoid it. That's why they are offering to you a no-obligation consultation to help you sort out your unique situation and help you
determine if you might qualify to sell your home as a short sale, thus avoiding the pain of foreclosure. Robin and her team can share their expertise and if it works out, they'd be happy to help you initiate that process. Again, no obligation whatsoever. They want to try and help, and if they can work with the bank to get the property listed, they would love the business.

Would you be part of a Reality TV Show?
Reality TV shows have become very popular and frankly speaking quite entertaining and very interesting. We have The Real housewives of Atlanta, Real Housewives of Orange County, Real Housewives of New York and the Real Housewives of New Jersey. There's Ron's House and there's Daddy's Little Girls. There's Tiny and Toya. We have The Hills. There's even Frankie and Neffie. There was Jon & Kate Plus Eight! There's Supernanny. Name it, you have it. Everybody is represented. There is something for everyone to watch. Though many of us 'regular folk' like to watch some of these, some of us may not totally agree with the concept of it or necessarily be a part of one if given the opportunity. Some people would do it for the money. Some people would love to be on TV and frankly speaking, it may have it's perks. But some feel like you are 'pimping' yourself or your family if you put yourself out there like that. What do you think?

I think reality shows reflect today's exhibitionist culture - "hey, look at me strut my stuff" - it's on FB, MySpace, Youtube, Twitter... people are showing off good and "not to be shown in public" attributes of their lives.ReplyDelete

An Alaska single-vehicle automobile wreck killed three young men and badly injured two more on Friday. The roll-over occurred at mile 131 of the Parks Highway, about 2 miles South of Denali National Park. Killed were: (1) William Bradley, 21, of Whittier, CA; (2) Nathan Pollard, 21, of La Mirada, CA; and (3) Jerry Luzzi, 21, of La Habra, CA. Injured were: (1) Matthew Holmes, 20, of Hudsonville, MI; and (2) Christopher Niles, 19, of Hudsonville, MI. Alaska State Troopers report that alcohol was a factor. Furthermore, it appears that none of the occupants were wearing seat belts.
Bradley was apparently driving the 2003 Infiniti – that rolled "several times."
Healing up is most important in situations like this – both emotionally and physically. Get proper care. Do what your doctors say. After a suitable time, consider the legal ramifications of this wreck. To help you, the families of Bradley, Pollard and Luzzi, along with Holmes and Niles, need to know the following information about automobile wrecks in Alaska:
1. The Statute of Limitations is governed by Alaska Statute 09.15.070. It's two years from the date of this wreck. That means you must normally either settle your claims, or file a lawsuit, within two years of this wreck, or all of your rights will likely be stripped from you. This is VERY important. Keep you eye on the calendar.
2. Claims may be focused on many sources. First, if Bradley was driving negligently, or was intoxicated, his own insurance will cover the others' losses. Check on the Infinit's insurance. Also, be sure to look at BOTH the Infiniti's liaiblity insurance, and its Underinsured Motorist Insurance. In Alaska, occupants are entitled to make claims under BOTH insurance coverages. Remember also that the minimum insurance for automobiles on Alaskan roads is $50K per person, up to $100K per incident. Most folks have more coverage than these minimums. Find out how much insurance covered the Infiniti. Next, look to your own Underinsured Motorist Insurance – on whatever car that you (or your family) drives. It too should help cover losses. Most folks forget about that claim…
3. Get the police report. The Alaska State Troopers do a very good job investigating fatality auto wrecks like this. There are undoubtedly scene photos. Get the police report and all photos. Get all statements from all witnesses.
4. Talk to an accident reconstruction expert. Get the roadway examined. I've litigated this area of the Parks Highway before. It's a mess. The State knows its a mess. Furthermore, the State rarely places appropriate signs to warn motorists that the roadway is a mess. Under Alaskan law, the occupants, including Mr. Bradley's family, might have a claim against the State of Alaska for bad roadway design/maintenance.
5. Call a good Alaskan Personal Injury Attorney. We have a number of attorneys who are qualified to help these families. It is important to contact one of them soon.
JUST DON'T CALL ME. This information is not advertisement. I do this as a courtesy, to help folks who have taken a beating on Alaskan roads. Please don't flame me, suggesting that I'm an ambulance chaser. I'm not. Please have a little compassion of the uphill battle these families face. They are free to call any attorney they want – and somebody has to tell them to make that call. I only encourage them to call a real personal injury attorney, not a divorce lawyer to "handles" personal injury claims. Make sure that the attorney you call had worked on these types of cases before – and knows what he/she is doing.
You are all in our prayers.

I'm having trouble sleeping again. The last few nights I've been taking Tylenol PM just to be able to drift off with out lying there wondering when it'll happen. I like making the sleep, but aparently, it doesn't like me to make it all the time.
I'm still worried about my mom, though, according to the doctors, I shouldn't be. Heh.
I think I've decided to see about getting a hysterectomy. I'm not completely sure, though. I'm just so tired of the bullshit that comes with PCOS. I'm tired of my hair falling out. I'm tired of gaining weight. I'm tired of looking in the mirror and seeing that there is a hint of a moustache. I'm so fucking tired of the pain. I'm never without pain, it's just not as intense as it can be most of the time. The pain I think is what bothers me the most. It's always there, constantly reminding me that there's something wrong with me. I honestly think that I'd be more able to deal with taking estrogen for the rest of my life than I am with dealing withthe pain. Thing is, Greg wants babies. I have my baby. My baby wants a sibling. So, my son and my boyfriend want babies and I don't know if I can even still have them, let alone know if I want more. I don't want to deprive either of them of the joy of a baby, but I just don't know if I can deal with this anymore. I'm on a message board for women with PCOS and they're dealing with it SO much better than I am. It makes me angry that I can't handle it as well. I can deal with many, many things. Just not this. I just want it gone.
I don't know if I'm happy anymore. There's no reason for me to not be, I just don't know if I am. I mentioned before that I started writing again. I haven't written in years. I need to be in a certain frame of mind to write and it seems I've found that frame of mind again. Here's the link to my poetry site if you're interested. If you read anything there, you'll see about the needing to be in a certain frame of mind. I dunno. I'm just not feeling like myself anymore.
I think I'm gonna go lie down and see if the gin is taking any effects as far as sleepiness goes. The boy will be up at the asscrack of early, so I need ot at least try to sleep. Wish me luck.

That is one powerful poem. I sure feel that way a lot of the time. Most of the time. All?
I didn't realize all the side effects of PCOS, but I understand the pain. My endo is in remission, thank goodness, but I was in my prime and felt 80. So many things were affected.
Hope you had some gin left over for today and that it did you some good.

Numsa appalled at alleged PSL executives increase
By Tarryn Le Chat
27 June 2007
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) says it is horrified at the latest revelation that Premier soccer League (PSL) executives will allegedly earn up to R30 million in each in commission after clinching a contraversial deal with pay-television Supersport for broadcasting rights.
Mziwakhe Hlangani, spokesperson for Numsa says that, "the union, which represents 220 000 workers, is infuriated and concerned that the four PSL executive members reportedly stand to benefit a share of R160 million including commissions for securing the agreement."
The union believes its members and many of the poorer communities will be dispossessed of their right to watch their favourite sport.
"The deal will give indeed the dedicated DSTV Pay Channel exclusive rights to PSL soccer matches. Soccer matches will be the sole preserve of the few rich people in the country who subscribe to private MNET screens, depriving millions of workers and poor communities," says Hlangani.
The union says the poor and middle class should not suffer while the executives make a profit off the deal with Supersport.

31 hours. 40 minutes. That's how much time is separating myself and a flight taking me to Lake Tahoe, California where I'll be spending 9 weeks on a summer project. I haven't raised all my support. I don't feel like I'm packed for all this. I'm not going to know a single person there except from who I have talked to through the facebook group. As this past week has come to a close and final papers, presentations and exams have gone by, my mind was, to put it simply, stressed. However, every time I felt overwhelmed, unprepared or disappointed at my devotion to raising support, through prayer I would be able to get support out of nowhere, get an extension on a paper, etc.
God has taught me immensely throughout this past year and mainly in these past couple of weeks about the power of prayer. It's constantly preached to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17), yet I feel I don't do that as often as I should. However we see so often in the Bible that God loves it when his people come to him and pray. So often, God holds out on us until we humbly come and seek his help. At times, I like to try every possible solution to a problem I can think of, but it's only until I give it up to God and pray to him that things appear to work out. I'm not saying that God is a vending machine and that if I pray that he will provide in the way I desire him to, but that if I recognize his greatness and power and do my best to discern his will for my life, I will certainly not be disappointed.
I pray that I can keep this attitude to "pray without ceasing" and I pray that for all of you as well. To those going on a summer project to Slovenia, Virginia Beach, Ocean City or the many others, I hope y'all (this is the part where my southern jargon comes into play) keep this mindset because it's going to be important with the summer ahead and the weight it carries. And to those who are staying in Athens or going home and working and spending time with family, know that this this mindset is just as important. When I saw friends going off on project last summer and me sitting on my butt at home without a consistent job, I certainly did not pray continually, but very much the opposite and the results of that ended up in a pretty lazy summer with not too much to look back on with satisfaction or accomplishment. So I hope y'all find this somewhat encouraging and I humbly ask you guys to please pray for each other this summer and for me as I head out to Tahoe, "cause I'm leaving on a(n air) plane, don't know when I'll be back again, and oh babe, I hate to go. . . ." Sorry, that was John Denver talking, not me. . . yeah.
I'm going to do my best to update this thing over the summer with stories and pictures of Tahoe, so I'll give you guys a little taste of where I'll be staying this summer (link below)! Well, it seems that Hebrews has been the book of the quarter with Campus Crusade for Christ at Ohio University, so I feel it fit to end with a verse from Hebrews.
"Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." – Hebrews 4:16

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Over 100 people held signs and chanted Sunday to defend San Francisco as a sanctuary city.
Some signs read: "No hate, no fear, immigrants and refugees are welcome here."
ABC7 News was at the ICE office on Sansome Street for the protest against Trump administration's immigration policy.
They stood in solidarity with Juan Montes, a Dreamer or undocumented immigrant brought to California as a child who was the first protected immigrant to be deported back in February.
RELATED: Immigration rights supporters cry foul after Dreamer deported
A lawsuit has been filed against the agency, and attorneys for Montes say they're tired of waiting to hear back from the federal government.
Montes' attorneys say he is the first DACA recipient to be deported under the Trump Administration. "We're looking for answers. We haven't gotten them for weeks and weeks, despite repeated requests to the federal government," Nora Preciado with the National Immigration Law Center said.
Montes had been protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy - a status for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.
But, attorneys say he was deported in the middle of the night without access to a lawyer back in February.
The Department of Homeland Security says it has no record of that encounter, but say they deported Montes after he was caught trying to re-enter the country illegally. Attorneys are now suing to find out what exactly happened.
Trump has promised to end undocumented immigration into the country, but has wavered on the specifics of the DACA policy.
Prior to all of this, Montes had been re-approved for DACA status through 2018. Court documents note that the status of DACA recipients is terminated if the individual leaves the U.S. without receiving official permission. The Department of Homeland Security claims that Montes did that, but his lawyers are disputing that claim.

At the time of attestation, consolidate ancillary reports, screenshots and other types of supporting documentation for all MU measures.
Staff turnover and other activities in the course of normal priorities at a medical practice can result in a great deal of work in re-creating documentation. Ensure EHRIP-related records are kept centrally and can be easily accessed by staff in the event of future requests for at least six years.
- Document patient volume at the time of attestation.
- Document every Meaningful Use measure, do not rely solely on summary dashboard reports.
- Keep supporting documentation in a central location.
- Retain ALL relevant supporting documentation used in the completion of your EHRIP attestation for six years post-attestation. This includes documentation to support data for meaningful use objectives and clinical quality measures (CQMs), and any exclusions that were taken. Retain documentation that is in either paper or electronic format, to include screenshots.
- Download and/or print a copy of your MU report at the time of attestation, and retain for your records. The reporting dates on your MU report should match the dates in your attestation.
More Audit Resources
- CMS has published a guide outlining documentation requirements for audit preparation: EHR Incentive Programs Supporting Documentation for Audits (PDF, 316 KB) This is a very helpful resource to consult as you a prepare and submit an EHRIP application, and should be saved along with the documentation materials supporting the attestation.
- At the 10/20/14 Vermont Blueprint for Health Conference, Vermont EHR Incentive Program Auditor Heather EJ Kendall gave a presentation onVermont Medicaid EHR Incentive Program Audits. You can download her presentation here.

I have come to realise that I'm intrigued by birds at the moment.
I have always found wildlife fascinating, since becoming more interested in photography I have found myself stood 'silently' clicking and hoping for the perfect shot.
The photos below aren't exactly the perfect shot, but they are unedited and I took them while out on a walk. I find there are an abundance of birds and mammals in the cemetery but being sneaky enough to get a decent photo is hard.
The Crow is such an interesting bird; it's common to most of England and I've started to notice them even more recently. I think part of the appeal is that they are beautiful and majestic when they're swooping to the ground, yet watching them hop about looking for food or fighting with one another they look completely different. They have a sinister and dark edge to them. I don't think they'd be out of place guarding a medieval castle.
The crow is a carrion creature so it's not suprising that they are associated with death. I thought it was particularly apt that I found this one sat on a head stone.

The New World Symphony's ``Music from America'' festival, which wrapped up during the weekend, celebrated the diversity of styles and aims of our composers. The event also served as a warm-up for the orchestra's European tour in February. Audiences in England and on the Continent are in for some vivid listening experiences.
It is hardly news that New World artistic director Michael Tilson Thomas has a Leonard Bernstein-like passion for absorbing and reveling in the unique characteristics of American music. His ability to communicate that knowledge and feeling were on display Saturday evening at the Lincoln Theatre in Miami Beach.
There is no more thoroughly American composition than Charles Ives' Three Places in New England, with its still-startling mix of classical and popular idioms, sentimentality and brashness. Tilson Thomas brought out every facet of the complex score; no detail of orchestration was overlooked, no image uncolored.
The musicians brilliantly articulated the maze of martial strains in the movement titled Putnam's Camp, Redding, Connecticut; they phrased the tender themes of From the Housatonic at Stockbridge with exquisite finesse.
Samuel Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915, with its evocative text by James Agee, carries on, in a way, Ives' fascination with the ``good old days'' of America. But the perspective is enriched by a bittersweet awareness of the unanswered questions that lie behind the sweet facade of people sitting on porches, ``rocking gently and talking gently.''
The score makes a marvelous showcase for a soprano, providing she has a warm tone, superb diction and a flair for communicative phrasing. Janet Williams did not exactly fit the bill. Pinched and steely in the upper register, she was unable to soar effectively on the most gorgeous line, ``Now is the night one blue dew.'' She did mold some other phrases, if not words, with care, and conveyed enough of the music's mood. Tilson Thomas had the piece flowing beautifully, and the orchestra once again revealed its flexibility and nuance.

One of the last hurdles to overcome on the road to U.S. citizenship is the naturalization test. It is administered to test an applicant's ability to read, write and speak English. It also tests the applicant's knowledge of United States government and history. Careful preparation for this test is critical for success.
Are You Eligible For Citizenship?
Permanent residents can apply for naturalization after they have had their green cards for three to five years (depending on their specific circumstances). Other eligibility requirements need to be considered as well, so consulting an attorney who specializes in immigration law is recommended. Eligible permanent residents must submit an N-400, Application for Naturalization, which will need to be accompanied by a variety of documents.
Do You Need To Take The Naturalization Test?
Due to their age or mental condition, some applicants may not be required to go through all or part of the naturalization test.
Additionally, many people seeking citizenship are surprised to learn that they are already legal citizens, thanks to The Child Citizenship Act of 2000. People who are eligible under this act do not need to take the naturalization test or go through the naturalization process. Again, consulting with a competent immigration attorney is recommended if you think you may be a US citizen because of this law.
What You Need To Know To Pass The Naturalization Test
There are two parts of the naturalization test: the language test and the civics test. The USCIS website provides study guides for the test.
In the language test, applicants will be asked to read aloud a sentence in English. Plus, applicants will be asked to write a sentence in English. Applicants will be interviewed in English and the officer goes over the application, asking questions directly from the application, to test the applicant's ability to speak and understand English.
In the civics test, applicants will be asked questions about United States government and history.
Only Two Chances To Pass The Test
Preparing for the naturalization test is critical, because applicants are only given two chances to pass. Failing the test the first time will result in a short setback, while failing the second time will result in a denial of the naturalization application.
You have the right to enlist a lawyer to help you with your application and attend the interview with you. At Miley & Brown, we are committed to guiding you through this complex process. We will position you for success in the test. Whether you have not yet applied, you are preparing for the test for the first time or this is your second pass at the test, we encourage you to get in touch with our experienced and caring team.

Original ISR Program
This blog is the home page for the University of Waterloo Library ISR Training Commitee's Web 2.0 Training Program
What is the Web 2.0 Training Program?
The ISR Training Committee is offering a smaller version of the various Web 2.0 training programs that libraries around the world have been offering to their staff. It is a hands-on learning program that offers Information Desk staff the opportunity to explore a subset of Web 2.0 tools and consider the impact of those tools on libraries. By creating online modules rather than simply presenting spotlights we hope that staff will get a feel for these tools and how they can be used.
How does it work?
After the kick-off session participants will have several weeks to use freely available online tools to complete a number of exercises. Each week focuses on a specific type of tool (e.g. blogs, wikis) and each exercise will give the participant a chance to explore the tool and consider ways in which it can be used in a library environment. Participants may wish to use their blogs, which they create in Module 1, to keep track of their thoughts and reactions to the tools and technologies that they encounter.
What is the incentive?
Staff who complete all of the exercises will receive a Web 2.0 Training certificate at our wrap-up coffee break.
Getting started
Watch this training video as an introduction to the program.
To receive a certificate, please let us know by April 3rd that you are participating in the training program by sending an e-mail to the ISR Training Committee (ISR-train@library…)
You can start right away with Module 1: Blogs
March 27th: kick-off coffee break
Week of March 30th: module 1
Week of April 6th: module 2
Week of April 13th: module 3
Week of April 20th: module 4
Wrap-up coffee break: April 30th after the Training Retreat
Who is available to help you?
Feel free to contact any member of the Web 2.0 training team with questions or comments. You can also post your comments on the page of the module itself.
The members of the Web 2.0 Training project are:
Nancy Collins
Pauline Dewan
Alison Hitchens
Tim Ireland
Thank you to…
This program is a shorter version of the Learning 2.0 @ Mac which itself was inspired by the Learning 2.0 Program at the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenberg County and Helene Blowers.

Salaries of German Clergy: "Poverty Church" Rakes In A Lot of Money [$5 Billion+ Per Year] From the 8-9% Church Tax
The German fake news daily Bild reported on All Saints Day about the salaries of German priests and bishops.
In Bavaria a parish-priest earns after nine years of service 4,400 US-Dollar a month, in Cologne between 3,600 and 5,000 $ whereas an assistant priest makes between 3,500 and 5,000 $. Further, priests get free housing or, as an alternative, an extra monthly pay of 900 US-Dollars.
German bishops make between 10,500 and 15,000 $ a month. The German clergy and Church establishment is considered to be especially close to pope Francis' "poverty Church".

Chickpea Tikka Masala
The other day I read an article about how Chicago is currently colder than Mars. We're talking about a planet that has an atmosphere 100 times less dense than Earth's atmosphere and is warmer than a city in which I currently live. If that stat doesn't make you want to plug in your vitamin D lamp (yeah, that's a thing) and curl up in a ball under five layers of plush blankets, then you're one tough cookie. For the rest of us who are freezing, a warm coat and some solid hearty food keeps the spirits up and the body toasty.
Normally, I love eating soup during this time of year, but ya girl can only imbibe so many liquids before ravaging the kitchen for something crunchy. Recipes like this chickpea tikka masala make the cold winter tolerable. Additionally, after a long day of running between buildings and walking around in a padded, form hiding jacket that is reminiscent of that creepy marshmallow man from Ghostbusters, you'll want to sit and just chill with a hot bowl of something good. That's where dump dinners come in.
"Dump dinners" are my favorite recipes. While the name dump dinner is an incredibly unappealing way to describe any meal, I do enjoy the simplicity and ease in doing very little work to make an amazing and healthy dinner. This chickpea tikka masala is a dump dinner recipe I come back to time after time.
If you're cooking is, should we say, shoddy? You'll love this dish. Chop. Dump. Season. Eat. That's all you have to do. You can't mess this up, I promise.
Did I mention that this is also a completely vegan dish? Well, it is. Coconut milk makes it creamy, without the added blegh feeling you may have after eating something with actual dairy.
Pair the chickpea tikka masala with basmati rice and some naan for a winter time feast.
If you have any other winter dump recipes you can recommend, tell me about it in the comments below! I am always on the lookout for new ways to warm up.
Chickpea Tikka Masala
(Makes 4 servings)
- 1 14oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 yellow onion
- 1 14oz can coconut milk
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 inch ginger root
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp red chili flakes
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tbsp coriander
- 1/2 tbsp cumin
- 1/2 tbsp paprika
- 1/2 tbsp hot curry powder
- 1/2 tbsp garam masala
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp cayenne
- Fresh cilantro to top
- Basmati rice and naan (optional)
- Dice onion and mince garlic and ginger.
- Heat coconut oil and sesame seed oil in a large pot or dutch oven on medium-low heat.
- Toss in onion, garlic and ginger and let cook for about 5 minutes.
- Mix in tomato paste and allow to cook for about 2 more minutes.
- Toss in chickpeas and all seasonings, stirring to coat the mixture evenly.
- Pour in coconut milk, stir, and allow to simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to combine and sauce to thicken. If the sauce needs a little help beefing up, add a teaspoon of cornstarch. Stir occasionally and reduce heat if mixture is boiling.
- Top with fresh cilantro and serve over basmati rice or with naan.

Clayton outside the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC
|Background information

|Vocals, congas, percussion, tambourine, drums, bongos, maracas[1]

|Little Feat.com
Sam Clayton is an African-American singer and percussionist, primarily focusing on drums, conga and djembe, throughout his musical career. He is best known as a co-founder and member to date as a supporting vocalist and percussionist with the American rock band Little Feat since 1972.
As a young man, he was influenced by R&B music, and gospel music. He is the brother of singer Merry Clayton and the brother-in-law of jazz flautist and saxophonist Curtis Amy.
After seeing Lester Horton and the modern dancers, "Zapata", he was enthralled by the conga player. However, it wasn't until a chance opportunity to sit in with a house band for a song on the congas at a farewell dinner, just as he was laid off from his employment in electro-mechanical engineering drafting, that Clayton was offered the chance to join a band and play.[2] Clayton played for a short time with Little Richard, and says he was inspired by "what Mongo Santamaría was doing with Cal Tjader".[2]
Clayton was introduced to Little Feat, an eclectic band drenched in Southern rhythms, funk, jazz, and rock and roll, by his friend Kenny Gradney with whom he had played behind Delaney & Bonnie, and who was to replace original bassist Roy Estrada. Gradney recommended Clayton to the band as he knew both men needed work following Delaney & Bonnie's split up following their divorce and guitarist Paul Barrere also joined the line-up, thus expanding the band to a sextet.
Sam made his debut with Little Feat on their third album Dixie Chicken in 1973. He also played congas on Bonnie Raitt's 1977 song, "Sweet Forgiveness", on her album of the same name. As time went on, his vocal talents as well as his percussion came to the fore, which gave the band a funkier sound.[3] Although he rarely sang lead vocals, his scat-influenced bass vocals were strongly in evidence on tracks like "Rock 'n' Roll Doctor" from Feats Don't Fail Me Now. His first lead vocal with the group was "Feel The Groove" from Down on the Farm in 1979 but the band broke up shortly afterwards and the subsequent death of founder Lowell George meant they did not reform until 1987.
When Little Feat re-grouped Sam's voice became even more evident on songs like "The Ingenue" (from Representing the Mambo) and "Romance Without Finance" and "That's A Pretty Good Love" (from Ain't Had Enough Fun). He also sings the Lowell George classic "Spanish Moon" at Little Feat's live shows.
Like other members of Little Feat, Clayton is also a respected session musician and has played with Duane Allman, Jimmy Barnes, Jimmy Buffett, Valerie Carter, Freddie King, Robert Palmer, Bonnie Raitt, Bob Seger and Travis Tritt. among others.

There are names in the past & present of photography that just need no introduction.
The likes of Annie Leibovitz, Richard Avedon, Mario Testino and many others have become super-duper-world-famous because of their skills, their ideas and their unique visual taste & sensitivity in doing their amazing, mind blowing photography business.
But have they ever shot a wedding? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is YES.
Now, of course, if they ever did shoot A WEDDING, they surely weren't hired for my aunt Lara's big day back in 1989 nor your neighbour's garden ceremony. Of course they photographed celebs, aristocracy & the rich and famous in general, often on assignment for some exclusive fashion magazine. But hey! a wedding is still a wedding, right?
Taking the cue from the recent grand opening of Love Folio's headquarters on Pinterest, I decided to dedicate a specific board to collecting the supreme wedding shots made by the greatest photographer s that ever lived and worked on this planet. Pop by my Weddings by The Great board and see for yourself.
Oh, and if you're nice enough to follow me, I will spread the love and follow you back.

Everything included in the informed educator guide would be GREAT to use at a PLC meeting for processing and reflection, or at a staff meeting for calibration of practices, values, and beliefs.

Nayeli Venegas models the stance of a lifelong learner. While she says she's learned a bit from me over the years, I'm almost certain I've learned more from her.

1. Professional learning centered around common experiences in dual language immersion education is incredibly valuable
2. Prioritizing and honoring the experience that classroom teachers bring to the conversation is paramount
3. Cultivating conversations more than presentations should be the aim of good facilitator teams

This is my first post. I have been reading posts for the last month and I must say that many have had wonderful ideals on how to make my giga sequences more human. I want to especially thank King for his tireless efforts to teach many.
In fact, it has primarily his posts that first encourage me to consider using giga technology in my composing and arranging.
King, a quick question - I have recently purchsed GOS. When do you see all of your terrific .art files and other improvements being officially released?
I also recently obtained VoTA. Forming \'words\' easier would be a great benefit. Can you give us pointers on doing this (the demos proved that it CAN be done). It is just that by the time you get a \'word\' you have forgotten the whole purpose of the music you were writing.
Thanks, again King (and the many others) for your selfless service. As I learn this technology, I will try to do my part to be of some help to others down the line.

New DayZ DesolationRedux SurvivalSpain Server- English
About Desolation Redux
1. What is Desolation Redux
2. Why are we running a Desolation server
3. Current state of things
4. Rules and whitelist
5. Map
6. Development
7. Plans for the future
1. What is Desolation Redux?
Desolation Redux is the spiritual successor to Desolation Mod. While containing elements from OPTiX's original Desolation Mod, the code is getting re-written from the ground up using a completely new structure.
The goal of our project is to create a zombie survival mod that brings the feeling of DayZ Mod into the world of ArmA 3. We also want to remove the shackles that the original Desolation Mod had by making it easier to customize servers.
No longer will server owners be forced into using one specific provider. All Desolation Redux files will be publicly available on Github and Steam. This will enable the use of popular launchers such as A3Launcher and Play WithSix.
2. Why are we running a Desolation server
I used to run a server for the original Desolation mod, which was fairly popular. We worked on it together with OPTiX, the original Desolation mod creator. However OPTiX had to stop working on it and therefore we eventually had to shut down the server. Now a new team has taken up the challenge to use the original mod as an inspiration and create an improved version of it. Since our previous server worked so well, we will give this new version a try as well.
We also choose to run a Desolation server because of the unsatisfactory development progress in DayZ Standalone and drastic decrease of active players for that game.
3. Current state of things
Desolation Redux was closed pre-alpha testing phase. A limited number of people have been pre-selected to participate in the pre-alpha which has opened on 20th February. The current estimates by the Desolation Redux team suggest that the closed pre-alpha phase will last for at least 1-2 months.
Desolation Redux is now in Open PRE-Alpha.
4. Rules and whitelist
Rules would largely stay the same. The community rules have just recently been completely re-written and we feel like they are working well for Exile Server. However since Desolation will have new game mechanics and possibilities over Exile and there arent respect, we will have to add Desolation specific rules for that area... or not.
This may make it necessary to use whitelist... or not.
5. Map
Our Desolation server will be hosted on DRS Chernarus. This map is a great evolution of the already known, with new islands, localities, setting and open houses.
6. Development
Desolation Redux will have an extensive plugin system which will allow us to freely modify most aspects of the game. This opens up for tons of possibilities on tweaking the original mod to our liking and making it more role play friendly.
7. Plans for the future
Currently Desolation Redux is the most promising project out for ArmA3. Desolation will be the next step and let's see where it gets us.

From Mississippi, USA:
When you have a low blood sugar, will chocolate bring it up or block the sugar?
Chocolate does have sugar in it, but it is not the best choice for treating low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Chocolate contains butter fat which slows digestion and slows the speed of sugar getting into the blood stream. I'd call chocolate a treat and not a treatment.

Recently on Grey's Anatomy Season 8 Episode 9 "Dark Has been the Night", Teddy puts her husband's life inside the hands of her peers when Henry is delivered to the OR for surgical procedure and she's called away on another case; Meredith and Derek get the long-awaited news about Zola; Callie and Jackson come under fire when their particular patient experiences post-surgery troubles; and Meredith and Alex take part in a life-threatening situation whenever they travel to a neighboring hospital to tend to a sick newborn.
On this week's Instance title "Suddenly", A severe car crash involving a whole family results in an all-hands-on situation from the ER, as the eldest daughter is left to produce the toughest decision of her life. Meanwhile Teddy, still in the darkish about Henry's death, calls upon Cristina to aid with her patient within the O. R., and Lexie finds their self working alongside Mark's completely new girlfriend, Julia, during an eye surgery.
Grey's Anatomy is a good American medical drama television series developed by Shonda Rhimes. The series premiered about March 27, 2005 on ABC; since then, seven seasons have broadcasted. The series follows this lives of interns, residents and their mentors inside the fictional Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital in Seattle, as they struggle to complete their medical training and gaze after personal lives. Despite being set throughout Seattle, the show is primarily filmed in Chicago, California.
A spin-off show, titled Private Practice, revolving around character Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh), began airing on Sept 27, 2007. [1] As of now, four soundtrack discs have been released, as well as a video game based on the show. So far, all seasons to date have been released on DVD, with seasons four, five, and six available on Blu-ray. Two webisodes series are also made, Seattle Grace: On Call (December 2009-January 2010) and Seattle Grace: Message of Hope (October-November 2010), each with six elements.
The show has obtained commercial success and vital acclaim. The first episode had been watched by 16. 25 million viewers, and the first season finale attracted 22. 22 million viewers. The second and third seasons received even better ratings, with average viewership regarding around 19 million. The series, especially during the minute and third season, has received a variety of awards, among which are the particular Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Dilemma in 2006, two Emmy nominations with regard to Outstanding Drama Series in 2006 and 2007, and numerous other awards and nominations for behaving, writing and directing. So far, the show has acquired three Emmy awards. In 2010, Grey's Anatomy was the fourth-highest revenue earning show for 2010, with US$2. 67 million per 1 / 2 hour behind Desperate The average joe, Two and a 50 percent Men and American Idol.
Grey's Anatomy has recently been renewed by ABC a great eighth season. Regarding the eighth period, Dempsey stated that, "It will be our last. I do not learn about the other characters. But for me it truly is over. " However, he later specified that he had not meant in order to sound so definite and that no plans of him leaving are confirmed. After much speculation as to no matter whether season 8 would function as the last, Rhimes confirmed that Grey's Anatomy will still run after season 8
The title Grey's Anatomy was devised as being a play on words: a reference to equally Henry Gray's medical book Gray's Anatomy, and character Meredith Off white.

I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with me for over a year now. For 28 days each month I am fine. But one day prior to beginning my period, I turn into Ms. Hide. My symptoms have grown to resemble severe psychosis, paranoia, altered perception with reality, ect. I chew family members out and stir up problems. I feel like a raving lunatic! For one day and one day only. And, I wake up the next morning and have started my period. Only then do I realize that's what was wrong in the first place. After that, I'm fine for the rest of the month. No issues. It's getting worse and worse with each period, but it never last beyond the next morning. What can I do? If I keep going this way I won't have any family left to talk to me because I've bawled everyone out. I don't have health insurance either.
Please help. Need some sort of consolation.

Judge dismisses suit challenging Alcoa ownership of riverbed
Judge dismisses suit challenging Alcoa ownership of riverbed
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by North Carolina challenging Alcoa Inc.'s ownership of riverbed underneath dams it has operated for decades.
In an order signed Monday, U.S. District Judge Terrence Boyle said the evidence demonstrates that Alcoa has title to the segment of the Yadkin River in question.
Alcoa's dams powered a Stanly County aluminum smelter for most of the 20th century and once employed up to 1,000 workers. Since the plant closed in 2007, the company has sold the electricity to commercial customers.
An email seeking comment from the North Carolina attorney general's office wasn't immediately answered Tuesday.

Forget Captain America and Iron Man, what kids really want to see is Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Misty Knight kickin' butt and takin' names on their Saturday morning cartoons. That's just what they'll get this weekend as the Heroes for Hire make their debut on Marvel's Super Hero Squad Show. Even though the interpretation of the characters is done in a kid friendly way, and that may not appeal to an older audience, I have to give Marvel and company credit for bringing in a huge list of guest stars to voice characters from the series. This week it is Lil JJ as Luke Cage, and Tamera Mowry as Misty Knight.
With the Heroes For Hire on the scene, guest-villains Brynnie Bratton, Pyro, M.O.D.O.K., Abomination and more join the fight! Don't miss the family friendly Super Hero team up unlike any in history on the Cartoon Network at 8:30 AM on Saturday! "Hero Up†with The Super Hero Squad Show!
You probably ought to check your local listings, as I'm pretty sure that time is Eastern and Pacific.

One of the funniest things about this show is how Silver Surfer has a surfer dude voice.

I have thirty script pages.
Looking at the date, I need to write two pages a day to finish in time for the early Austin deadline. That sounds super-doable to me. In fact, I think I'll see what I can do this weekend in the way of putting a serious dent in this project.
In other news, I had a stressful week. Misbehaving hardware and the like. Allow me to say, "TGIF."

I've had a stressful week … month … year … life? 😉
And yet, there was script last night. Only a couple of pages, but there was script.
May 15 is the early deadline? That could be good.
April 14, 2006 at 6:49 pm
Yeah, June 1 is the late deadline.
Man, has this week sucked. Actually, this entire year has been a quantum singularity of suck. I want my money back.
And sadly, if I wait to write until I'm not stessed out, I never write.

"After high-school graduation I joined the USAF to be in the dental field and eventually attend Dental School. Following my honorable discharge in 2001, after nearly 5 years of service, the tragedy on 9/11 took place. I felt the need as many Americans did to serve my country again. Following my first tour I injured my shoulder and had it surgically repaired. The post-op did not go as smooth as expected, and my military career was in jeopardy. I soon discovered myofascial release/Active Release Technique. I was educated, physically helped, and given the tools to help myself prevent further injury. I knew at this point what I wanted to do in life. Now with more than 20 years of military service, I've been able to serve my country proudly, and provide the highest quality care to the Quad Cities area"

Mock Trial
Program Philosophy
Mock Trial is both an academic Window class and a competitive interscholastic activity and is open to all classes. It includes weekly after-school practices downtown from October through March. Students receive a CR ("credit") grade on their transcript.
Seattle Prep won the National Championship in 2014, and Washington's State Championship in 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2004, and 2003.
